The Wire Walkers

We live in the side where the sun don’t shine
where you have to sweat to get a piece of bread
Ain't no bridge to cross or a boat to get away, no…
We live in the side where trees don’t grow
and we have our feet covered in thick mud
We build on sand and we feed on love
We gotta try to live better times
We wanna cross to the other side
Better risk our lives than wait until we die
The river’s wide but who cares,
We’re the Wire walkers
Tell me, tell me, tell me
are you ready to come with me?
Then say goodbye and pack all your things
You have nothing so it won’t take long
Let’s toss the coin and keep our fingers crossed
Knock on wood, we are ready to go now
Come on boy, we gotta move on
Come on girl, we gotta face our fate

Ode To The Naiads

You bring the life, you bring survival
You bring the snow that melts from the high peaks
You feed the crops and water the fields
If I cry into you, please hide my tears….
Born from the brooks, that dwell in the grey rocks
Grow from the creeks that flow in the mountain tops
Please wash my sins, take them away
You may be dammed, but you’ll find a way…
I wrote these lines for you
I sing these lines for you
You bring the life, you bring survival
I wrote these lines for you
And I sing this lines for you
Freshen the air; come soothe my thirst
Clean every wound you find in the way
Gather the rain that comes from the clouds
Everything springs if you are around
I wrote these lines for you
I sing these lines for you
You bring the life, you bring survival
I wrote these lines for you
And I sing these lines for you

Bang Bang

He saw some things he shouldn’t have seen
He heard some things he shouldn’t have heard
Wrong time, wrong place for a simple man
He knew too much, so they wanted him dead
Oh, he can run but he cannot hide
Won’t have a chance to bargain for his life
He can’t stand still or he’ll die on his knees
He’ll get concrete shoes and sleep with the fish
Bang, bang, he was shot to death
Bang, bang, he was thrown away
Bang, bang, he was shot to death
All gone in a blink
What do you think the waters would say?
If they only spoke, if they could sing a song
I think no secret would be revealed
‘Cause they ain’t no snitch, they’ve got stories to keep
Bang, bang, he was shot to death
Bang, Bang, he was thrown away
Bang, bang, he was shot to death
All gone in a blink

Plasticland

I was broke back in ’94
I had empty pockets and rage
Rock and roll was the perfect log
that saved my ass from the wreck
Working my evenings after school
trying to make a few bucks I could spend
Buying cool albums in Plasticland
until I had no money left.
Where is now the new generation?
I don’t think they like music the way we do
Streaming and iPods have flooded all
Kids don’t buy records anymore
Digital boys rather watch something on you tube
Streaming and iPods have flooded all
Kids don’t buy records anymore
Digital boys do not like music like we do.
We did not have spotify,
nor soundcloud or things like bandcamp
We didn’t know what an MP3 was
but we knew some albums by heart
We recorded radio songs in crappy TDK tapes.
There was live music in TV shows
now we have hotties that can lip-sync
Where is now the new generation
It’s a shame they can’t visit Plasticland

Good day, Sun was shining high
I had no worries, nothing could make me feel bad
Good day, you were by my side
Only blooming weeping willows seemed to cry
But there was something going on
I didn’t see the waterfall…
It was a good day, we were holding hands
Making plans, daydreaming, looking at the sky
And we were happy, so happy
We didn’t give a shit about what was around
‘Cause we were locked and trapped into our love
We were absolutely sure that nothing could go wrong
Naive as anyone could be
We barely knew that life was gonna test our hearts
There was something going on
I didn’t see the waterfall
I didn’t see the waterfall
I didn’t see the waterfall
I didn’t see the waterfall
I didn’t see the waterfall

J.Barbus & Mr. Catfish
03:21
|

J. had a house in Wind City by the river
35 years of mortgage left to pay
Catfish was a clerk, a white collar private.
(He was) just a tiny fish but he wanted to be a shark
J. Barbus lost his job
He couldn’t pay his bills
He knows that bricks ain’t no good meal
Cunning catfish sharpened his teeth
Barbus is gone, the poor son of a gun
Catfish ate it all and left the bones
Poor old J. Barbus should have known better
There’s always a bigger fish around
Ruthless Catfish evicted everyone
Now there’s nothing left he has to feed on doves.
J. Barbus lost his job
Cunning catfish sharpened his teeth
Barbus is gone, the poor son of a gun
Catfish ate it all and left the bones

Drowning
05:02

Where am I? where do I come from?
I forgot my name when I saw your face, babe.
You came here and did not say a word
I bet you didn’t even notice I was right at the door; all right.
And I hate it….and I hate you…..
I hate you….
Cause I; I’m drowning in you
I; I’m drowning in you.
I can’t see any life vest around
I stretch my toes but I can’t reach the ground, oh no!
I cry for help, screaming SOS
Take one more deep breath before I dive my head, oh yeah!
And I love it….and I love you
I love you…
Cause I; I’m drowning in you
I; I’m drowning in you.

Adrift
03:52
|

I had an old map with the route I had to follow
Every stop, every bend, every stage I had to cover
My compass pointed north; I was ready to go…
I was given tips and clear instructions
I knew for a fact that I had to be cautious
The wind was in my sail, blowing to the goal
And I wonder why I’m in this situation
starving to death and with no direction
I am drifting and I just got the blues
I believed all the lies they told me before setting
I took every step to the promised ending
I did every single thing I was told to do
I could not foretell the mess where I was heading
They try to make me think that I’m bad at understanding
But I refuse to believe it was all my fault.
And I wonder why I’m in this situation
starving to death and with no direction
I am drifting and I just got the blues
I try to keep my head up and look to the horizon
It’s pouring on me and I can’t take action
I am drifting and I just got the blues
I didn’t reach the end but I learnt my lesson
I will write my own fate and make my own mistakes
Nobody will tell me what I should dream…

River Sound Unleashed
08:40

It may bring the life
watering the soil
It may mean just death
drowning every soul
It may be a line
We cannot get through
It may be the link
that takes me straight to you
Always in the move
But in the same place
Always making ways
Reaching everywhere
You can build a dam
You can build a ditch
But you can’t hold it back
You know it is free
It is the sound of the river
singing to your ears
It is the sound of the river
Let it be unleashed
It is fresh and young
coming from up hill
It is old and wise
heading to the sea
Let it soak your bones
Let it bring the truth
Let it heal your heart
flowing into you.
