Looney Buns: Ice Cream in the Sun

Here's something sweet in electronic odd bop sauce.


This song is now a part of the album.
Get it here.

lyrics:

Pick a stick and dog a walk
Shaking hands, laughing friends, clothing brands, sock
Fix your face with magic goo
Wait for the dream to come true

Clouds are on the run
Flies play with the fan
Ice cream in the sun
Melting on a cinnamon bun

Search the bed to find the clue
Sleepy head, eyes are red, cockroach's dead, shoe
Clean the beach and wait for snow
Play a divertimento

Fries fry on the pan
Blaze is set to stun
Ice cream in the sun
Chasing darker shade of the tan

Blue is high and green is low
Break the fence, make no sense, absurdance, go
Dutch to fly and French for fries
Swiss to whip the cream on the ice

Fries fry on the pan
Sun sets in Japan
Ice cream on the run
Chasing darker shade of the tan

Looney Buns: Sailor Songs

If you've got some time to loose, there's no better way than to sink it in a dirty sailor song.


This song is now a part of the album.
Get it here.

lyrics:

Breaking a glass in search for a drink
Smashed into pieces, glittering in the sink
Wet paper boat for a thirsty throat
Singing dirty sailor songs by the fire

Putting sun oil on a paper plane
Drowning in hope that it will fly in the rain
Building a shed on a water bed
Singing dirty sailor songs by the fire

My life among the machines
Is defined by the quality of my dreams
Sailing through electric seas
The weather's bad and the rigging is Chinese

Running away on a paper train
Time's passing by, but everything looks the same
Sleeping through days for the nights to waste
Singing dirty sailor songs by the fire

The tide is getting high, the winds are howling
The waves are crashing on the edge of my bed
The wind is getting strong, the waves are boiling
The tide is getting high, in my clogged up sink

The Balding Hippies: We Used to Laugh in Front of Buildings

the balding hippies

This is the first song to carry "The Balding Hippies" label. In this song the predictable meets the inevitable in a funny and scary clash. It has been recorded in 2007, this is refreshed and slightly remixed version of that recording.

lyrics:

Who wants to get inside?

The library is a funny place
Everybody wants to get inside
(The library, who wants to get inside?)

Who are those men in the front of the library?
And what are they laughing at?
(Who are those men? Do they want to get inside?)

The funeral home is a sad place
Nobody wants a lawyer involved
(The funeral home, who wants to get inside?)

Who are those men in the front of the funeral home?
And what are they laughing at?
(Who are those men? Do they want to get inside?)

Mumblin' Y. Plumber - Leprechaun

For a change, I post an old record I found in the attic. It is a 7" vinyl in a mediocre condition with no sleeve. On the label there is a note: Leprechaun. Personnel: Mumblin' Y. Plumber, Deaf E.R. Flatberg & Blind I. Buczynsky. It is a sort of spooky folk song, I quite like it and I thought it is worth sharing.

download: mp3

lyrics (written down by ear):

A leprechaun is living on the orange tree,
He has mean eyes and they scare the shit out of me.
If you see an orange leprechaun,
You better run, you better run,
Oh, brother, you bet you better run.

A leprechaun is dinning in my TV set,
It shows the bones of people that he killed and ate.
If on screen you see a leprechaun,
You better run, you better run,
Oh, brother, you bet you better run.

A leprechaun is snoring in a water bed,
This sound is awful and it fills my ears with dread.
If you hear a snoring leprechaun,
You better run, you better run,
Oh, brother, you bet you better run.
