LYRICS || FIRST IMPRESSION
Straight from the first time you know that it’s right
Watch you dancing and adrenaline aroused
One look at my cloths now, enough to get me all sussed out
Looking down, what are you trying to hide?
First impression
Gut reaction
I need some time
Circling around
First impression, yeah
First impression, yeah
Won’t be the first to make or break
Judge and base on first impression
Now, I knew I’d end up with a girl who looks great when she wakes up
Don't need to think you can tell from the start
Initially I didn’t like most of my favourite bands
But I need to hear a new song that will get me all hyped up
First impression
Sweet sensation
I need some time
Circling around
First impression, yeah
First impression, yeah
Won’t be the first to make or break
Judge and base on first impression
Don’t want to talk about it, just want to hide behind it
Don’t want to talk about it – first impression
Well on the TV, London looked like worlds apart
But once in its centre, it felt familiar and far
Need to get, need to get a job, and for this I really need all my charm
First reaction, everything seems overpriced
First impression
Best intentions
I need some time
Circling around
First impression, yeah
First impression, yeah
Won’t be the first to make or break
Judge and base on first impression

LYRICS || JIMI ICONOCLAST (Or: The Death of the Rock 'n' Roll Band as We Know It?)
Jimi iconoclast
He’s got a fever working blast
Smash the status that wears him out
He’s got to move on to get back
He’s got the love in his heart
He’s gonna take it and then please ya’
Things were on hold too long inside
And the fever was always denied
He’s taking a look the other side
Feeling so bad, I guess I know it’s sad
Talking about, the split of a rock 'n’ roll band
Jimi iconoclast
He’s got a zipper through a looking glass
Trash the adverts that sell him out
He’s got to keep on to get back
He’s got the love in his heart
He’s gonna take it and then please ya’
Things were on hold too long inside
And the fever was always denied
He’s taking a look the other side
Feeling so bad, I guess I know it’s sad
Talking about, the search for a rock 'n’ roll band
And the drums – sounded thousands of times like that before
And the bass - sounded thousands of times like that before
And the guitar - sounded thousands of times like that before
I’m no different, I’m just getting bored
And the songs - sounded thousands of times like that before
He’s gonna take it and then please ya’
Things were on hold too long inside
And the fever was always denied
He’s going for the underground
Feeling so bad, I guess I know it’s sad
Talking about, the death of the rock 'n’ roll band
As we know it – as we know it
As we know it – as we know it – as we know it
As we know it – ooh yeah – ah – ah

LYRICS || BLUE PLAQUE
Overall you've got no reasons to drag
Running out of time to score a blue plaque
Every place you leave is like when you'll die
Keep moving on without you around
Would love to love, and eye to eye
Starting again, expecting to fly
Here I am and here we're all
Starting afresh, with both hands
Pay a visit to a place from your past
Little worlds that keep moving fast
Unless you made a very serious mark
You'd see that no one there could tell who you are
Would love to love, and eye to eye
Starting again, expecting to fly
Here I am and here we're all
Starting afresh with both hands
Would love to love, and eye to eye
Starting again, expecting to fly
Here I am and here we're all
Starting afresh with both hands

LYRICS || DESERT BATH LOVE (BACKING AWAY)
Backing away, I feel shivers of grey
As the sun lifts her head on the rolling tide
Backing away, I feel shivers of grey
As the tide moves away from the morning sun
I feel high
(Desert bath, desert bath, desert bath love, desert bath)
I feel high
(Desert bath, desert bath, desert bath love)
Backing away, I feel shivers of grey
As the tide is all red from the morning sun
Backing away, I feel shivers of grey
As the mountains ahead are all glowing bright
I feel high
(Desert bath, desert bath, desert bath love, desert bath)
I feel high
(Desert bath, desert bath, desert bath love)
And though I was afraid of trying
I'm happy that I'd stood the chance
And though I could not have controlled it
I'm happy that I had kept my calm
And though I am afraid of flying
Glad no one else was - well
Orchid energy
(Orchid energy)
Top the hill happy
(Top the hill happy)
Overlooking sea
(Overlooking sea)
Absolute and free
(Absolute and free)
Backing away, I feel shivers of grey
As the sun moves away from the rolling tide

ALiEN ALRiGHT Modi'In Makabim Re'Ut, Israel
Landing in the UK for an unexpected stay of 7 years, 'Alien Alright' is like an 'outsider's indie-rock diary' of music
recorded during that time.
It's organized by order and consists of 14 albums - all 100% DIY, home-made.
Some of the albums are more properly produced, some are recorded with just vocals over an acoustic guitar, and 2 are improvised live.
You’re welcome to explore and enjoy :)
