lyrics

The Shore

A short word is all that I heard and I don’t really know if my mind is working
Tell me get back to the New Sensation if you don’t wanna be of the lost generation
Gotta get this to fulfill all your wishes, it’ll save time and the taste is delicious
Why wait you can buy it on line, if you don’t, run the risk of being regarded as swine.

I hear the children rumbling in a place far away from the heart
Talk’s cheap when reduced into mumbling and you know you never get to the start
Some pray and they say that it’s humbling but they just gotta get that new car
I hope that you’ve been thinking ‘cos the waves are a pounding and the shoreline’s a sinking

Safe talk you use triple protection but you don’t even know if you’ve made the connection
So the bad news is removed through the cable and the worries of life are never spoken at table
All the harsh dreams and the bad scenes are then locked in the box and filtered for screen
Why walk, you can avoid all the shock in a climate controlled whatever or not

I hear the children rumbling in a place far away from the heart
Talk’s cheap when reduced into mumbling and you know you never get to the start
Some pray and they say that it’s humbling but they just gotta get that new car
I hope that you’ve been thinking ‘cos the waves are a pounding and the shoreline’s a sinking

Now that we’ve heard from the sponsor do you think he will say that he ever did want her
So she recoiled from is touch in the garden and he never did notice his arteries harden
Blushed cheeks only visions don’t speak of the whys and the wheres and the fears of the deep
He holds her tight now and she wilts a flower but we’re never gonna know, it’s the end of the hour

I hear the children rumbling in a place far away from the heart
Talk’s cheap when reduced into mumbling and you know you never get to the start
Some pray and they say that it’s humbling but they just gotta get that new car
I hope that you’ve been thinking ‘cos the waves are a pounding and the shoreline’s a sinking

about

the balconvillains image

the balconvillains Montreal, Québec

Pan-genre…Omni-groove…
Not young…Not pretty…

Craft honed across two millennia, not the undead, the experienced.

The progeny of Montreal and the Age of Aquarius, chameleon transients in time and space, consumed and were consumed, frivolous, rhythmic, the voice of the common in the complexity of the mundane. ... more
