Je ne parle pas népalais
03:41

This is the beginning this is nothing but a start
this is just an interactive lecture of the heart
if you take this country, all these mountains, flatten 'em out into the sea
it'd be the biggest of them all if you ask me
Shiva singing noso poro makes this boy so happy that he
promises to the earth and sky they'll one day meet the sea
and annie with the panny making tsampa somewhat runny
she could be the mother of it all if you ask me
oh oh oh oh eyes that scan the land
oh oh oh oh my mind is high again
je ne parle pas nepali mais pourtant c’est tellement clair
And heaven is there if you turn left
around the corner
and if you turn right there is hell
The wealthier the wiser so I'm outwitting the taxi driver
afterwards he says I must be smartest in the world
then he rips me off, my rupies fly away, I’m not taking notice
blinded by the fact of being smartest in this world
oh oh oh oh voices sigh again
oh oh oh oh I am high again
je ne parle pas nepali mais pourtant c’est tellement clair
And nothing else outside this life will ever matter to me

Slime
03:08

Some people say most men are mostly pieces of slime
well let me add it goes for about five out of five
just think of the boy you followed home
he seemed to be the kosher one
but when he’s had his little fun
he’ll take his Y-fronts and run
We are all sleazy slimy creatures deep within
I made a famished friend last night
her fully-fed fiancé was away
she lived her humdrum life
down in the doldrums ’n I
followed her there ’n stayed the night
Maybe it’s a part of being human
how we got the monkeys out-manouvered
a gift god added to his creation
a short cut to world domination
They call the cocktail Happiness
survival of the fascistest
drooling over the election buffet
we’re all voting with our wallets
We are all sleazy slimy creatures deep inside
and further down I think we’re all quite satisfied
Look at the longhaired bald rock star
revitalized but still bizarre
and the successful architects
who ruined this town in a few decades
‘n when the taxman shows no mercy
we're moving our fax machines to Guernsey
‘n the poor Finnish commie party
going bancrupt on the stock market
think of the liquid that they serve
calling it coffee takes some nerve
while you're still too young to be aware
they're pointing their loaded god at your head
the crap that these stations play
it's always format before taste
I could go on and on and on
really on and on and on…

Are You Still There?
02:47
|

Well if you´re coming around
we´re gonna get out walking
like we used to do
there´s a place we should go
to hear the local band
and try to understand
how to make a dream come true
Maybe get something to drink
something to believe in
like a road out of here
we used to sneek out of school
we used to go into town
to se the fools and the clowns
to have a laught at the square
tell me are you still there?
so far so good
tell me are you still there?
you never even understood
tell me are you still there?
you should have seen long ago as ut vanished in the air
And in the night that we breathe
we´ll find a way to the past
to be our guiding light
and i will show you around
right where i´ve started again
to be a better man
not believing in lies
tell me are you still there?
And we might do it all again
get together for some time
and we will play it for the night
’cause night was always on our side
when we where young with dreams to live
with life ahead and stars in reach
and we will do it all again
we will play it for the night
tell me are you still there?

Weather Forecast
02:28
|
|||
|
Don't give me the weather forecast
I don't wanna hear a word
pseudo- meteo- lectual broadcast
a quasi mode and I prefer
the underworld
the undertakers
the widow-makers
the mentally disturbed
Give me truth
a slice of truth
give me…
something to lean on that won't jump out of the bowl
I think everyone's honest but I won't trust a soul
When the little dictator said we shouldn't have gods besides him
he revealed he's not the only one
If there was a doctor here who could give it a name
something intellectual, beautiful (what could do the same)
but until then I’ll just be insane
thanks to Descartes we know Aristotle was wrong
and thanks to Newton we know the froggy was too
and thanks to Einstein we know Newton was too
we now know that Newton was too
Famished faces fill my papers
little girl flat on the floor
send a penny, hope it‘ll help her
and if not you can't ignore
the noble thoughts
of which I'm filled
but kill I will
if she knocks upon my door
Give me truth
a slice of truth
truth one…
century ago and in one more to come
give me truth
a slice of truth
give me…
something to lean on that won't jump out of the bowl
I think everyone's honest but I won't trust a soul

Shark Tooth Town
04:01
|
|||
|
This is Saturday night
this is Shark Fin Town
bicycle lady smiles
shark tooth smile and bows
We are here
here is now
Meanwhile back up in the north
at old McDonald's farm
big noses line up for food
zipping a communist coke
It’s gonna be a final blow
that makes this plastic parliament explode
We are here
we are here
here is now
And there is nothing you can do about it
soon they'll rule the world and have it dancing
we'll be picking rice and eating with chopsticks
if you wanna stay on top of it all
you better make friends and lend your hand out now
Soon they'll rule the world and have it dancing
they will chop us up as if we were matchsticks
And there is nothing you can do about it
you shouldn’t raise a child too harshly
one day she’s outgrown her father
you’ll get a rebel with a cause
if you treat the child too hard

Un Rodo Cora Sweden
Seamless pop smarts drawing from a wide spectrum of genres and time periods.
Un Rodo Cora is a Stockholm based group
of musicians with links to both USA and India. They are somewhere between a solo project, a band and a collective, centered around the songwriter Bo Christo. Although a number of musicians form the core of the band the actual line-up is as fixed as a recipe for pizza.
