Young Men 03:17
Figure it out when you’re lost in the crowd and the eyes are a maze, it's a golden parade where feelings are tamed people are moles with the shape of the world you’re trapped in cage, you’re trapped in cage it's a wonderful place young men on the line are standing for their rights come on young bones with a knife are drifting in the night alone Will you be real or a ghost? Will you stand by the door? staring at the end of the world while I’m burning my toast figure it out when I arrived on the earth and you gave me the names that you pray nowadays with wax, will and faith people are made of my DNA, so they’re trapped in cage they are trapped in a cage it's a wonderful place young men on the line are standing for their rights come on young bones with a knife are drifting in the night alone and you keep saying oh my god live just to stand me your cross staring at the end of the world while I’m burning my toast

For You 02:30
I changed into these clothes to forget who I was I live inside a morgue to “forfait” all my my goals for you, for you I walk without a trace like Jesus on a lake nobody knows my name there’s a solitary flame that burns for you and it burns, burns, burns burns and the flames are always red but they can be blue everybody walking on a wire when they play with you you can find me on a trail like a shelter in the rain when everybody else becomes insane I live in your regrets to give you what is left the present is a mess memories are best with you, with you I have fun, fun, fun, fun, fun and the flames are always red but they can be blue everybody walking on a wire when they play with you you can find me on a trail like a shelter in the rain when everybody else becomes insane and the flames are always red but they can be blue everybody walking on a wire when they play with you you can find me on a trail like a shelter in the rain when everybody else becomes insane when everybody else becomes insane

Tigers are learning the dance of the deer All I can hear in the night is the sound of your tears Try to get wise if you are hiding your soul Lend me your hopes and your fears and I'll promise to sing, sing even more The parents are singing the song I won't sing Saturday night is breaking my eyes Pretend I am busy when life comes to visit You’re not allowed to see me crying again Moses will pose the pace of the seas Animals growls at the moon when the danger is near Blue days are coming and summers are gone The sound of an atlas where you keep on running is playing right in your songs The parents are singing the song I won't sing Saturday night is breaking my eyes Pretend I am busy when life comes to visit You’re not allowed to see me crying again You’re not allowed to see me crying again You’re not allowed to see me crying again You’re not allowed to see me crying again The parents are singing the song I won't sing Saturday night is breaking my eyes Pretend I am busy when life comes to visit You’re not allowed to see me crying again

I can see you turning When your body moves And everybody’s giving a wink Can you feel the beauty All the lights are moving Throwing up your guts in the sink Jenny comes then Says “man it’s just ten We should get the hell Out of here” But Gwen appears Together with Pierce Carrying all the toys In a bag Run baby run Everybody’s hanging around Run baby run Everybody’s hanging around hanging around Dancing to the boogie Feeling like a woogie Running on the edge of a wheel Licking up your make-up Are we gonna break-up? Baby I’m afraid of the bill Jenny comes then Says “man it’s just ten We should get the hell Out of here You’re wasting my time Party is outside No one’s gonna give us a ride!” Run baby run Everybody’s hanging around Run baby run Everybody’s hanging around hanging around hanging around Run baby run Everybody’s hanging around Run baby run Everybody’s hanging around

Summer wasted on a highway Summer is in the hills again I can't stay with my mother live in my father's house So please come and take me out Summer gimme summer nights Summer, breaking the ice again I Wanna spend all my time riding on a camel's back So please, please come and take me out Living on the run is easy when you walk And if you are tired there is nothing like the smell of a genuine cry Speaking up one's mind is better thank talk And if you're tired there is nothing like the scent of a genuine life Tell me, tell me who I am Mother you were the love I learnt I wanna spend all my money feeling like an astronaut now So please, please please shoot me out Living on the run is easy when you walk And if you are tired there is nothing like the smell of a genuine cry Speaking up one's mind is better thank talk And if you're tired there is nothing like the scent of a genuine life

I am a razorblade, I reap the things I cannot tame. I am on your face when the night has gone away. Nothing can better, better than a hairy sleepy man I'll never obey Moving to the left, jumping to the right Deep in the cream or where I'm going to glide I'm on my way, ye I'm on my way I am the one to blame when the sun's gone away I am a blade I am a blade Men are dying for a shave Nothing can be better better than my touch that still grace just out of your face Moving to the left, jumping to the right Deep in the cream or where I'm going to glide I'm on my way, ye I'm on my way Nothing can be better better than my touch that still grace just out of your face I am the one to blame I am the one to blame When the sun has gone away I am a blade I am blade Men are dying for a shave

Human Friend 03:09
Migrating in the season When we get out of our bed Times to make decisions With no laundry left to wear Close your eyes there's vision We can even join your evil's legions If you are greedy Life will bite you back Barking from the mouths That you've never fed Cause you never tried to be My human friend Mr. Ancient sinner I will pay the check Streets are coming busy There’s no time to rest There is no way we will like The life on rent Ain’t no easy way out Don't you see I am leaving Riding on a Sunday morning And it’s summer but I am freezing I talk but the words Don't come easy I talk but the words Don't come easy If you are greedy Life will bite you back Barking from the mouths That you've never fed Cause the one that you call god Is not my friend Mr. Ancient sinner What you're doing here I will be the witness Of the future here And I'll sing the songs you don't To save the world Where you're welcome no more

there’s a fire in the night you can feel it if you’re high if you walk around the flames you can sacrifice your life get a mask to start the race you can put it on your face hide there’s no past that we can blame for the future that we wait and there’s no doubt that we’ll be fading away meet me up in the dance of a thousand ravers hell racers love chasers time erasers hook me up to the glance of a million faces find me in the dark where there’s no light to be seen when the father is ok there’s no son you’d better pray no your mother ain’t no ghost but there’s no chance for what is lost and fades well, your feelings are ok but you’re drifting in the night again I’m a whistle in your brain and the sore is what I play hey and there’s no chance that you can chase me away meet me up in the dance of a thousand ravers hell racers love chasers time erasers hook me up to the glance of a million faces find me in the dark where there’s no light to be seen Poor me down in the paws of a giant lizard space wizard, heart blizzard, Keith Richard Climb up jelly sun on a foam river find me in the dark where there’s no light to be seen, find me in the dark in the dark of the sea Climb up jelly sun on a foam river find me in the dark in the dark of the sea

Older than me Older than the seas Older than the species Many years before the Sphinx She was always here She was always here She was always here to be The queen of all the kings She's always right Never rolls the dices Someone puts the blame on her But she don't mind Waterfall of dreams from her eyes She can be explosive When she wakes up She's the one that fixes What we break up From the ancient times I will, I am I was a man Victim of the times And yet I don't know Where I died But she was there One time again Driving a van Then she picked me up She was happy, sad And she gave me more time When the lights are blazing in the morning She won't call you back and say I'm sorry She loves the dark Cause she's the one that fixes what we break up From the ancient times and even earlier She will turn the lights off

about

The "gateway to the stars" passes through galaxies of sequins and vitriolic refrains made to order for «cosmic dancers», quoting T. Rex. If in the acclaimed previous record, Blisstonia, to predominate was the all-around exploration and reworking of the psychedelia of the old times, playfully remastered and twisted in the footsteps of Flaming Lips and Ariel Pink, here Weird Bloom leaves out the post-hippie aesthetic to embrace – also on the strength of the valuable and consolidated advice of Don Bolles, former The Germs – an idea of hard and raw rock,
more material, fuzzy, without frills and thoughts. Leopard jackets and washed-out jeans take the place of lysergic freak tunics in a 10-track journey into the most visceral glam, made of timeless riffs and iconic titles like I'm a Razorblade, Saturday Night Is Breaking and Dum Dum
Boogie.
Behind the scenes of the album is an almost philological desire to exactly recreate that mood: «We used to make the first takes, I'd send them to Don Bolles and to some maniacal vinyl-finding friends to get feedback on the veracity of the sound. Because the sound didn't
convince me, it was always too contemporary. It took a long time to find that balance point, and when you find it, you have to hold on to it very tightly. Rock'n'roll is rather a state of mind to maintain, a different level of consciousness».
So forget the arty, intellectual and decadent side of Bowie and Roxy Music, Stargate's style is massively animated by Marc Bolan's boogie, Gary Glitter's kitschy poses, the glittering hard rock of the Sweet and the proto-garage of the Troggs, in a triumph of references pervaded with pure love for an era that no longer exists, but whose immortal and carefree attitude we can still, fortunately, enjoy in a little rock gem like this.

about

We Were Never Being Boring Collective Italy

We want music to never turn into something boring for us. It would mean that we have become boring. Because music does not die with mp3′s or copyright: boredom is what brings it down, when it becomes a habit. All we need is a small do-it-yourself collective, as tiny as a simple smile. ... more
