Head/Down
instead of grace or mercy a mercedes benz to drive / for all the things i haven’t done a constant image to decline / a switch cane for some whipping / oh how sweet this latex sounds / our mouths on glass / we believe we taste this frivolity / head/down / don’t feel / head/down / this frivolity / a bitchslap for my longings / for all fears and craven acts / for not letting go what’s gone for years / for these words and for this song / i linger over old dreams in my teeny tiny room / your wanton curls eye-popping me / but the rest still blows my mind / give me mercy and a mercedes benz / a bowie mixtape to kill my thoughts / let’s drink pernod & blacks / let’s listen what the seats tell / maybe they dare us to head down

Bad Moon
so please my dear don’t drink this cup of chime / just close your eyes as you can see / nothing will be fine / so bring a bible and a rope to this cold ground / a bad moon shines / it all begins to sound on burial mound / let’s fire it up / a bad moon shines / no chance to run / no place to hide / a curse upon you / we’re terrified / a bad moon shines / today’s a death row but tomorrow it’s defied / we run in circles but we ever think / we are doing right / so put a gun under your pillow / cause it’s all strange / a bad moon shines / we’re praying to our saints / in our faint / don’t fire them up / it shines so dark / no man can define / all our words are gone / the bad moon shines / from the voids of lost and longing /
say hello and welcome the bad moon

all the girls my old daddy said / will loose their ideal beauty by death / will grow old and stumble / in my not so humble opinion / my son it’s a fact / i thought about that later instead / of asking what kind of women he met / i try to get to the bottom of what he had forgotten / of beauty and female decay / the last scene has made my day / oh jennifer grey / i thought about madonna and cher / shirley bassey and patti smith’ hair / sophie marceau / kate winslet / jodie foster instead / they suit me right to the ground / late at night while lying in bed / among other duties / i think of the red carpet and lights on the stages / before the last dance emerges / and by all means she’s decay / jennifer gre

have i touched these stones before / felt their corrosivness / their plain surface so cold / this image let astray / a branch weighted down with fruit / will you show me something that nobody else has seen / and who'd have ever thought / all this could be so strange / but here we go again / and nothing seems familiar when noone is here to talk / and everyone’s a stranger in a place we can’t call home / so come to me and speak to me / approach me and discover me / the lonely boys of misery are here / is your rosabell believe just a kind of readymade / out martinka’s store new york / the secondary smoke of stagnant filtertips / and nothing seems peculiar in this odd and magic crowd / when everyone’s a stranger
in a place we can’t call home / have i felt this thing before / these irregular
beats / my preassure’s high and low / this bambadadboom / houdinize from it all / but this heart will beat forever / it won't be standing still / celebrating life in fever / singing for eternity

when you first took me in there was a smile / the second day after a while / the third day piere darcys’ / on the forth luscious games / the fifth day we slap each others in the face / but the sixth day got married / well the seventh divorced / ab week full of terror and old human force / so take my hands on christmas-eve / we all are flat on the ground / lets drink champaign / dance on our graves / my dear love we’re pisswilly crows / it’s the croaking of scattering crows / it’s the dancing of scattering crows / it’s the cackling of a stupid old goose / when we first have had sex it was so fine / the second time whiskey and wine / the next time was funny / the forth a hungry saw / the fifth time we fucked in a stupid gay bar / the sixth time a foursome with lucy and mike / you said you were underlaid
for a long time / so take my hands on this dark night / for a very last time / let’s drink grey goose with seven-up / dear love a very last time

The day after Superman died
the air was clogged with an evil-eye-smiling smoke / and whatever the beast was / it squealed behind the door / julie’s poking among the books and empty dead marines / julie’s strung out and shaking / it feels like she’s dean moriarty / julie hears voices / the day after superman died julie hears noises / she’s strung out-and-out / she sees her face in the mirror / just herself and her damned kicks / this can't go on all the time / all this franticness she’s with / julie’s lost in nowhere was nowhere to go but back / julie’s strung out and shaking / too mad to talk / too mad to be saved / here is the place she needs to be / and the world goes round and round

The Love of Non-Contradiction
If you wanna shoot for the moon / shoot for the moon / If you want to savour life don't freeze in doom / We are all in a mood of faith / Though we fight or though we pray / if you wanna shoot for the moon / forsake the base / See the signs / the writings on the wall / A bunch of bleeders / but they rule it all / They don't care for anyone / It’s just themselves the haut monde / playing Nero razing our world to the ground / everyone stand up for freedom / against all inhuman regimes / yet our voices are so silent / In this loud world full of violence / Only one way seems the best for me to walk fear and trembling and The myth of sisyphus / Before the Law or Waiting for dutch / It’s like the House of special purpose / You’ll be dead in that circus / If you wanna shoot for the moon / forsake the base / Who will rise / Mirror mirror on the wall / A bunch of bleeders / In the end there’ll be none / It’s the Law of Non-Contradiction / Revolution now / Not fiction! / Only one way seems the best for me to walk / Live for today / and the fireworks outside will paint the sky to silver-grey / for the pain we live with our pain / we are humbled to be gay / against all fascists / rascists / and all inhuman decay / one day sad girls will be happy / just like king kong and fay wray

Gauge away
well the smoke will clear / the growlings under here / a catatonic brain / a
wornout head / like piece of shit we cannot admit / and i say / hey your
blistered lips / this lukewarm kiss upon my chest / are a parody / an uncertain guest / here on this shadowparty / shadowplay / a carnival to gauge away / well the smoke will clear / but we just believe in this / merely adequate / barely sufficient / million miles away / everyone pretents / and i say / hey this goddamn smile / your perfect lips upon my neck / are an untold joke / an uncertain guest / it’s me on the ice ditch / it’s munich, not berlin / lowbrow / spoon-feed / not astude / moonstruck / menatally confused / slug-brained / dull / complete insane / a million miles away

come close to me / it’s too late but come closer dear / you’re wilder than the snow that tears our cheeks / the doubts inside of me / emily / a fervent gaze / so fanciful to drag you down / with me to kick / a last nail into the glass surface of our grave / i must have been asleep for a thousand years / oh emily / the roaring sea will tear us apart / prepare yourself / an old
winternights mourn / cast in concrete / but brighter than / come closer
scared princess / dream a wall around you and me / let’s swallow doubt and throw it all away / poor emiliy / poor myself and me /
at ponden kirk we’ll meet one day

Bad Moon Brilon, Germany
The german noisefolkband Bad Moon was formed in 2018 to give folk music a new dark & noisy
attitude.
Their first EP "She sings love songs while our cities burn", what was released in early 2019 is a very stripped down and introspective 4-track piece, particularly on the harrowing "Cushing' Law" and "Gauge Away". Only the bouncy "Head/Down" lightened the otherwise melancholy mood of the EP.
