LYRICS | JIMI ICONOCLAST
(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 | P'LEASE POLICE P'LEASE
P’lease police p’lease -
I haven’t done anything wrong, so p’lease leave me alone
P’lease police p’lease -
I haven’t done anything wrong, I’m just sitting here on my own
And the lights are un-necessary
And the shouting won’t get you anywhere
I can hear, you don’t need the light
I can see, there’s no need to shout
You see my baby is abroad
I felt a bit alone
I’ve decided to go for a walk
Sorry for not having a dog
Is that making me a public threat?
I swear I haven’t been drinking,
I swear I haven’t been drinking
P’lease police p’lease -
You see my baby is abroad, that’s why I’m on my own
Now p’lease, police p’lease -
Will you let me go home? Will you let me go home?
And if this is a wealthy neighbourhood
I didn’t know I could afford to live in one
Is that why you’re scared?
Did anyone complain?
I’ve just been taking a walk
Some fresh air, you know
C’mon lay off I told you
I haven’t been drinking,
I swear I haven’t been drinking
P’lease police p’lease -
I haven’t done anything wrong, so p’lease leave me alone
P’lease police p’lease - no-no-no-no-no!
you’ve got me completely wrong
I told you I haven’t been drinking
I’m just sitting here passing time on my own
‘Till my baby comes back home
You know my baby is abroad
I couldn’t sleep, I felt a bit bored
I thought I’d better go for a walk
It such a nice night
I was sweating; the room was too hot
But I told you I haven’t been drinking
As if your baby is never abroad
But I’m proud I haven’t been drinking
I swear I haven’t been drinking, drinking, drinking, drinking...
P’lease police p’lease -
I haven’t done anything wrong, why won’t you leave me alone
P’lease police p’lease - No! No! No! No! No!
You shouldn’t treat me like that
You still think I’m some kind of pervert or what?
I told you I haven’t been drinking
I’m Alright; it’s just my baby she’s abroad
You think I’m losing it? I must be losing it…
Have you ever been daydreaming so strongly that you almost flew?
Probably not…I’m just…
Missing my girl so much
But I swear I haven’t been drinking
I swear I haven’t been drinking
I swear I haven’t been drinking
I swear I haven’t been drinking

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 :)

Kutiman - 6am (Vinyl/CD/Digital)
by Kutiman
The most exciting album I heard in years! Kutiman is pretty much doing here everything I dream to have in an album. Tarantino got to use the song 'Shine Again' for the peak scene on his next movie.

Souvenir
by Maston with L'éclair
The sequel to 'Moon Safari' by Air. Fell in love with this album instantly, and I keep playing it all the time. Only criticism is that it's too short !! (under 25 minutes).
go to album
Heard 'Used to Feel Alright' on the radio, and Shazamed it straight away. Turns out that it's not even the biggest hit on this album (how is that even possible?!?). Great album, and great vibe.
