Calling

the patient lies with no sleep calling
a patent liar with no sleep calling orders
misère sur mer untangles her salty hair
she's almost there
almost
please step closer choose the loser
inside out thinking breaks in throws your plans out
the love you gave
watery grave
don't you hate it?
now dive in the milky waves
it's the air you crave
won't decide today
today
the burning of old rope on young wrists
the burning of your throat filled with mist
it's a calling to the secrets of old
calling to a wealth beyond gold
you can hear me now I'm calling
you can hear me now I'm calling out a curse
it's the love you gave
losing air
it's the love you gave
keeping you awake
don't you hate just waiting
got to run and take it

eating sour cherries
I'm your friend
it couldn't last all year
try again
zebra crossing a red light
birds in cities sing all night
if you don't shake off your doubts
you are going to be left out

parrow Dance lyrics
摘碑東勘の内で摘み草をした / I plucked wildflowers at Marunouchi in Tokyo
昭和は樺代のはじめ / At the end of the 1920’s
払は十樹tのなかごろ / I was in my mid-teens.
銀行へ通う / On my way to work
出動の勘がち / To the Bank
袴僻居をひるがえし / The hem of my kimono-trousers flapping
鋪道の脇をちょっと駈けのほると / Just a dash up the embankment beside the footpath
原っばがひちけた / Before my eyes an open field
クロ-バ- / Clover
タンボボ / Dandelions
ハルジョオン / Philadelphia fleabane
shy girl
playing with your food
looking at the wall wanting something to do
on your knees
facing west
took all day to put on your favourite dress
tucked in
safe as houses
how many hours? It must have been thousands
see the others
watch them pass
everyone else seems to move so fast
sparrows dance
over your head and under your thoughts
you're long gone
no reason to stay here waiting
gather up your things
leave the map behind
this not a joke, you've made up your mind
look out turn the corner but don't turn your head
if you look back you'll forget what you said
戦犠の輯駅周辺は / Around the postwar Tokyo Station
経摘成長の伸びをクラ7にしたような / Just like a graph of the economic boom
新しい高層建瀞である / Tall skyscrapers bloomed

Will They Won't They

IF AND OR NOT
will you show me what you've got? oh-oh
is it right to force it from you?
AND OR NEXT NAND
did you mean to touch my hand? oh-oh
is it wrong to raise the issue?
Will they won't they?
that's what they all say
consuming our delay
mixing signals
crossing wires
complicating our desires
you want to live in a T.V. drama
right up to season nine
when everyone's turned off
but us
(x2)
Will they won't they?
that's what they all say
consuming our delay
(repeat)

Chalking the numbers
wired to ground
multiply
divide three times
Chalking the numbers
get them down
multiply
divide three times
Burnish the metal
wired to ground
minus one
Melted down
Chalking the numbers
get them down
minus one
wired to ground
when you calculate. You will make it one.
They all go away. You will make it one.
Into the darkness
without sound
chalk in your mouth
star on the ground
stand in the fire
wear your crown
chalk in your mouth
divide down
0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233
draw a circle
on the ground
turn three times
open your mouth
when you calculate. You will make it one.
They all go away. You will make it one.
when you calculate. It was always one.
They all go away. It was always one.
wired to ground
it was always one

find me
in the darkness
if you find me
you can keep me
watch your footsteps
on the back stair
you could slip there
when you find me
I won't answer
sit beside me
in silence

It Hertz! Deluxe Edition
by Katsen
supported by 21 fans who also own “AC/EP”
Found KATSEN when looking into electronica\lowfi while working on my own. I quite loved what I'd heard, but unfortunately not in time to catch any physical material. Tried on Bandcamp, and lo! there's Katsen! Love this kind of music, slightly reminiscent of Men WIthout Hats and Simple Minds' REEL TO REEL CACOPHONY/EMPIRES AND DANCE era to me. This is a great collection, and glad to find Play For Today and others as bonus tracks! This is great.

Another brilliant E.P, such great music. 'Everybody Knows' is a fantastic song but each track is awesome in it's own different way.
