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
HEAD/DOWN
Don’t feel
HEAD/DOWN
This frivolity HEAD/DOWN
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
HEAD/DOWN
Don’t feel
HEAD/DOWN
This frivolity HEAD/DOWN
SOLO
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
HEAD/DOWN
Don’t feel
HEAD/DOWN
This frivolity HEAD/DOWN

CUSHINGS' LAW

CUSHING’S LAW
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 noones 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 lonley 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 filter-tips
and nothing seems peculiar
in this odd and magic crowd
when 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 lonley boys of misery
are here
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
But this heart will beat forever
it won't be standing still
celebrating life in fever
singing for eternity

Pavement Princess (you’re so fine)
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 eachothers in the face
But the sixth day we married
got the seventh divorced
a 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
the croaking of scattering crows
it’s the dancing of scattering crows
it’s the cackling
the cackling of a stupid old goose
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, a very last time
let’s drink grey goose with seven-up
my dear love a very last time
it’s the croaking
the croaking of scattering crows
it’s the dancing of scattering crows
it’s the cackling
the cackling of a stupid old goose
the cackling of a stupid old goose

GAUGE AWAY

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
Shadowparty, shadowplay
Gauge away, oh 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
here on this
shadowparty, shadowplay
A carnival to gauge away
Shadowparty, shadowplay
Gauge away, oh gauge away
It’s me on the ice ditch, it’s Munich, not Berlin

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.
