Well, I've got to admit
this is the most beautiful place I've ever seen
and it's definately the wildest place I've ever been to.
I mean, I've been watching you dance
and it's the way you dance that makes me want to dance
I never ever dance and you really make me wanna dance
and lose my seat and chew some meat and clap the beat to your feet
if there's one thing I've learned it's how to treat myself to a treat
I've seen the films, I've even flicked through some of the books
I won't lie I sometimes identify with the crooks
I've got a great big huge confession to make,
I've got a big huge confession to make,
I've got a great huge confession to make,
I've got a great big confession to make :
I get bored, really bored at parties
get so bored, really bored at parties
but this one's OK, it's a tiny bit different,
it's got cake with a topping just made out of chocolate
Oh dance ! Dance, city, dance !
Oh just dance, dance, dance city dance !
Dance, dance, dance city dance !
This city will not be torn down,
this city will not be run down,
this city will not be torn down,
this city will not be run down.
I've got a great big huge announcement to make
I've got a great big huge announcement to make
I've got a great big huge announcement to make
I've got a great big huge announcement to make :
This is the best best best best party
this is the best best best city party
this is the best best best best party
this is the best best best city party
this is the best best best best party
this is the best best best city party
this is the best best best best party
this is the best best best city party
This city will not be torn down,
this city will not be run down,
this city will not be torn down,
this city will not be run down.
We will not be torn down
we will not be run down
we will not be torn down
we will not be run down

Smoke

Well
we've got time
and sugar spice and spine
we've still got a bit more time
and nothing on our minds
and then there's space
a whole heck load of free space
we've got skills
and symetry to kill
and we've got moods
and reasons to be crude
and girl we've got our bones
and psalms and poems of our own
and we've got, we've got...
We've got nights
at nights we'll invade their homes
we'll sit and stare
and watch them turn to stone
we've got...
Well...
we've got smokes
but darling I don't smoke
but you can smoke
I love to watch you smoke
We've got nights
at nights we'll invade their homes
we'll laugh and stare
and watch them turn to stone
we've got...

High Moon
03:30
|

The night came down
I crept into your room
I wanted to take you away from all of this gloom
the moon was high and so was I
oh girl, the moon was high and so was I
so I opened the door
and crept in on all fours
my consciousness unconscious of that loud chorus of snores
« How high the moon ? How high the moon ?
Not as high as I », I started to croon
and I hadn't heard the snores
but I noticed they'd stopped
four in the morning, clanged your grandfather's clock
it rang so loud, it startled me to my feet
and I discovered the four of you wide awake from your sleep
there was you and the guy we met in Montgomery Creek
and my sister Jenny's creep with that tattoo on his cheek
and last but not least, last but not least,
that old chinese chef, whose food no-one eats
« How high the moon ? How high the moon ?
Not as high as I », I started to scream.

Downtown Disappointment
02:21
|

I've been following you the whole day downtown
convinced that true love at last I'd found
I watch you walk walk walk
and stop and talk talk talk
To the tall ones, the tiny ones
the filthy ones, the uptight ones
the rich ones, the lepered ones
the abusive ones...
everyone except me
it's not exactly what I expected
Aaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh
I'm starting to think that this love won't last
'cos everytime you walk past me too fast
I try to keep up as you walk walk walk
and watch you talk talk talk
To the big ones, the skinny ones
the well-tempered ones, the pretty ones
the organic ones, the insane ones
the uninvited ones...
everyone except me
I'm starting to be a little bit disappointed
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh

I can't take my eyes off of you
every time that I look at you
He can't take his eyes off of you
every time that he look's at you
darling why won't you be true
darling you make me feel blue
I can't take my eyes off of you
every time that I look at you
She can't take her eyes off of you
every time that she look's at you
darling why won't you be true
darling you make me feel blue
I can't take my eyes off of you
every time that I look at you
We can't take our eyes off of you
every time that we look at you
darling why won't you be true
darling you make us feel blue

Kris went out
on a cool sunday night
he took a dip in the ocean
and wished in the pale moonlight
he said « All I want is a mermaid,
soft, gentle and sweet.
unlike all of those wild city girls
I always meet. »
Kristoffer fell asleep in the sand
and awoke at high tide
to the sound of a delicate sweet singing mermaid
lying by his side
the mermaid, delightfully named Jill
fed him a wild and savage kiss
she dug her nails deep into his skin
oh poor Kristoffer fainted from bliss
Suddenly five other mermaids
joined into Jill's feast
they cackled in the night
tore Kristoffer apart
ripped his frail body wide open
chewed on his liver, kidneys and heart
what a wild night for Kris
a boy so delicate and sweet
destroyed by a kiss

Shine
04:33
|

Waiting at your house
as silent as a mouse
the night strolls in with a grin
and tucks into my skin
the smell of moist earth
lingers in the room
oh mum, I'll howl in the breeze
and wail beneath trees
that you left centuries too soon
Stroke my hair, hold me tight
come dance with me and the night
Time is a sphere, we have nothing to fear
everything plays at the same time
so I'll dry out every single tear
and I'll climb over those bells and I'll make them chime
can you hear them ring ?
can you hear us sing ?
oh I'll stay right here and dance to the ring in my ears
Stroke my hair, hold me tight
come dance with me and the night
Your love shines above all things that shine and
illuminates the dusk
oh, your love shines it will always shine and
illuminate the dusk
oh it'll shine, let it shine, shine and
illuminate the dusk
there's a light that shines so bright it'll always
illuminate the dusk
Oh I've seen you shine so bright
dancing through the night

Sweat Like An Ape! Bordeaux, France
Sweat Like An Ape ! hails from Bordeaux, France. Their music evolves in that special place where the urgency of punk and the sparkle of pop and dance music cross paths. Although certain new-wave and post-punk influences are unquestionable, these four boys like to mingle with all kinds of groove, be it that of the nigerian king Sir Victor Uwaifo, or the funk-punk of James Chance. ... more
