It's a cool scene for an antichrist as he can never turn his eyes from the lovely toothpaste girl And the boy next door^^ ^/birds-fly sound before the chorus/^ ^^Your eyes, they will bury me Looks like now I'm the enemy So here I stand Stuttering Breaking out Malfunctioning.^^ ^/birds-fly sound in the outro/^

Hold out your heart It's not broken inside hold your hand It's not spoken for She came into my life so slow She held out my hand Like it was something to hold on before all comes to nothing She came into my life so slow Now I can't let go I must give in I can't let go ^Sooner or later Love's gonna get you Sooner or later Sooner or later Love is gone Somehow I knew It was gone^ Who do you think you are?

The Shunt 04:04
Depression sneaks up on you like a resurrection to the damned ^When you least expect it you're elected^ Your star's a black hole Depression You will live again. I have found a way to make my ends meet Followed myself back into that shunt. Come back baby Come back baby I wanna kiss the cross I wanna ^^kiss his open sores^^ I wanna praise the Lord I wanna praise him on the source I wanna praise the Lord my only saviour Jesus Christ. ^^^/entering instrumental outro/^^^

^All the leaves are brown and the sky is gray California dreaming on such a winter's day^ All the way and back Just to see my baby dressed in black. ^All the leaves are brown and the sky is blue California dreaming such a way from you^ All the way and back Just to see my baby dressed in black. ^^They say I was born it was a fantastic accident I fell on the floor My mother right next to me The doctor was alarmed It was the middle of the night When he came up I was already.^^ All the leaves are brown and the sky is gray California dreaming on such a winter's day^ All the way. ^^^It won't do any good Won't any good Won't do any good to my one chrome song.^^^

Endless days Sleepless nights Feeling Shame Feeling Right. ^^^^second time around first verse sang in hopeful, forgiving, harmonious manner^^^^ —————————————— ^The beat is reproduced to resemble the one played by Mladi Vlado on Tom Violence’s ‘Zero Hour’ (MyRoomRecords, 1996) or Milan Bukejlović on Petrol’s 'Sve jedno je’ (Odličan hrčak, 2007) ^^Open Source BBC Sound Effects (http://bbcsfx.acropolis.org.uk/) ^^^Guitar part similar to Tom Violence’s ‘Zero Hour’ (MyRoomRecords, 1996) ^^^^With respect to the ‘Finale’ of the Ninth Simphony by Ludwig Van Beethoven and the switch from the dread of baroque chromatic ostinato to ‘Ode to Joy’ /credits + notes/ Some old song parts here. But everything else anew. Half-of-us-here-love-Jesus-kinda-thing. Noise guitars by Neven and LMB. Drums played and looped by Brane. Nara on bass, Brane on percussion.

The sole intention of this music album was to fathom out the origins of what we consider and have always perceived to be - 'our music'.

Process of inventing and arranging a musical piece is one of avoiding obvious and profane repetition of common places in music history. Author is seldom content when confronted with exploitation of chewed&spat-out patterns and therefore, in this time, this ancient practice of referencing and reflecting in order to explore and revel in the revelations falls short to avoidance and reduction as the sole goal of not having to cope with one’s insecurity and scrutiny that deludes to lure ‘poor inapt fools’ into death of failure on the way to the grail of ‘originality’.

Conversely, what was attempted here is to stop at nothing, being that the obvious reference, an overused hint or common fact, and emphasize it, reflect it against our own and set out to discover cached implications, hopefully attributing new explanations until the lame old voyage becomes peregrination, thus reinventing the process in its own wake and, as previously stated, ‘revel in the revelations’. Without further post-pseudo-sade-ado, examples note down as follows...
