LET’S GET IT ON
BRAVADO
R
iot of January, record in the city wrecked by the sea, chanting streets, papilla de samba, gowing rousse moon to let the
macumba squat the upper upper beach of Ipanema... Remember! never collapse always dazzle!!! River of strass even flows
in favelas... Carioca amore, carioca enchanting... Cachaca in
the morning, Hollywood cigarettes, impetuous time, frivolous
mind... Expanding! In the heart of cluster suburb, tower of lapis
lazzuli surrounded by nipple mountains, feminine fog, selva for
salvation... |
Winter frame of charm under spatula del sol. Before it was dictatorship, now aquamarine dealers, cops lip-reading Playboy in
the highway bushes... A dime bank note and millions of cruzeiros on request. Money goes wild amazone... And “dragao
chines” shriek of war on the beachdrome, Sunday string mama
Sunday, three months here could never be enough. Regrets a
Bahia. A flashing kyte haunting Maracana stadium for 70 000
soccer devourors with king surdo. Glamorous sleeze waddling
Copacabana edge... Sap beauty... Lagoon of satiety and misery
but the game is sealed. Delire goes marchin’ in, desire for ever...
Lizzy, Rio de Janeiro sept. 1985.
Fog Horn Blues
I’ve burnt my mouth eating
The last of you
I’m leaving me
I’m through drinking
The least of you
Oh I’m leaving me
Nothing left
But the fog horn blues
Nothing left, but the fog hor horn blues...
The ocean turned full moon
And just for you
Oh I’m leaving me
I’m lip-reading
The best of you
Oh I’m leaving me
Rings under my eyes
With the fog horn blues... (repeat)
I’ve burnt my hair smoking
The lust of you
Oh I’m leaving me
I’m breast-feeding
The lack of you
Oh I’m leaving me
Out on a limb
With the fog horn blues... (repeat)
I stole a boat kissing
The waves of you
Oh I’m leaving me
I’m diving in
The deepest you
Oh I’m leaving me
Red rag to a bull
With the fog horn blues
Red rag to a bull
With the fog horn blues... (repeat)

One For The Soul
One is telling me shut up!
One is screaming at me to speak up!
I’ll stick to my moods in orbit
Stretching stories, digging summit
Everybody wants a hit out of it
One is loosing the preaching game
No one’s licking the same flame
I’ll stick to my moods in orbit
Scratching fitness, foaming heat
Everybody wants a steak out of it
One for the soul young man
One for the soul and the rest doze of...
young man
A soul standing ovation
And a minute of chaos … young man
The beat goes of... yah man
One is leaving me on my own
One is rushing me to calm down
I’ll stick to my moods in orbit
Spinning records, dreaming tar pit
Everybody wants a kwicky out of it
One for the soul young man
One for the soul and the rest doze of...
young man
A soul standing ovation
And a minute of chaos … young man
The beat goes of... yah man
Repeat

Garden of Alas
(Ballad for a oud)
Roses for the freaks
Tulips for a kick
Dahlias for the terror
Peony in the mirror
Yes my love I’m walking all over you
The scales fell from my eyes: thinking of you
Another gloomy afternoon
In the garden of alas
Copper beach for the shades
Weeping - willow in my head
Reed boucing my memory
Thom-bush-enigma to me
Yes my love I’m running all over you
Crossing my eyes thinking of you
Another frisky afternoon
In the garden of alas
I’ve lost you
Pollen of shame
I’ve lost you in the garden of alas
I’ve lost you
Piment of shame
I’ve lost you in the garden of alas
(repeat)
And secrete your death
Listen, listen!
Long voodoo ago...
Drawbridge for the sorrow
Lousy band-stand for now
Child’s swing for the echo
Bee-hive for a sex joke
Yes my love I’m putting rhytm into you
Weeping my heart, thinking of you
Another loony afternoon
In the garden of alas
Appe vini le grand zombie
Appe vini pour faire gris-gris...
(repeat)

Long Voodoo Ago
The condor was peculiar to the Andes
But she was off some other land
Deserted beach near New-Orleans
Slaves meet in the spirals of sand
She was the queen in final dark
Her crown wears a scarf
Listen! listen
Long voodoo ago...
Appe vini le grand zombie
Appe vini pour faire gris-gris...
(repeat)
Clandestine chapel in the sky
Dance start in the black cat eye
Anonymous the flames stifry
To free oneself, to feel the snake
Lick up your life
Petrified eyes rolling over the waves
Warms breath of transe over naked bodies
Bayou! azure and blood amazed...
The broth is stretching and boiling souls
Shape up your daze
And copyright your loss
Listen, listen!
Long voodoo ago...
Appe vini le grand zombie
Appe vini pour faire gris-gris...
(repeat)
The Choupitulas said
The wild magnolias said
And Dr John said...
Long voodoo ago
Choupitulas said
Queen Ida’s bed
Long voodoo ago
Booker said, booker said, booker said
Booker’s dead
Professor long hair
Long voodoo ago
Long voodoo ago...

God-Spell Me Wrong
I don’t know my heart from my head
Don’t know my ups from my downs
Glory! Hell of what!
God-spell me wrong
The problem with the song
God-spell me wrong
And it’s all right
I don’t know my news from my olds
Don’t know my be from my have
Holly! Hell of a why!
God-spell me wrong
The problem with the song
God-spell me wrong
And that’s damn right
I don’t know my Eve from Adam
Don’t know my cool from my mad
Mercy! Hell of a drag!
God-spell me wrong
The problem with the song
God-spell me wrong
And that’s all right
I don’t know my rage from my thrill
Don’t know my self from my smoke
Enough! Hell of a loss!
God-spell me wrong
The problem with the song
God-spell me wrong!
And that’s oh’ll right...

Right now
What is normal, or terminal?
Line insert or line delete dear?
Tab clear of tab set is a secret?
Auto-remain new and back append myself…
(Repeat)
Life lays cordial eternally
Repeat frantically
But there’s absolutely no end to my own
end…
Right now
What is purchase or percentage?
Latent self or loop-hole diva
Stand near or stab far is a secret
Auto-reflect back and forth, apprehend myself
Life lies casually satiric
Dive in drastically
But there’s absolutely no end to my own
end…
Then I went down one octave
I went mad and was brave
So I could stop for a beat
And stare at you in the eyes
Enough enough to know
What breathing can be…!
Right now
What is evil or celestial
Nothing more or nothing less dear
I was curt, I’ll be sharp
is a secret
Wait and see if you love yourself
Right now
What is normal, or terminal?
Line insert or line delete dear?
Tab clear of tab set is a secret?
Auto-remain new and back append myself…
I don’t know what love is
but I know you, I’m so pleased
Is it a rumor, or a cruise
Sailing a groom, safari bride

And if the worst comes to the worst
Even apart we’re happening
Some sort ot delay, I’m aware
Broadcasts live and loud but
Who cares ?
And I want to do it with you
Play it by ear, play it by you
And while we overdub kisses
The world spins on a 24 tracks
Queen Of Overdub Kisses
You don’t know what love is
I don’t blame you
I just tease
Nothing to be ashamed of
I’d like to start an expertise
And I want to do it with you
Play it by ear, play it by you
And while we overdub kisses
The world is a loop of a tape
Queen of a day, keen overnight
King all the way, kool overall
See ya at the noise gate
(Repeat)
Let’s talk fast and speak far
One speech spills out another
Between your lips and mine
Sealing a laugh, a see-through smile
And I want to do it with you
Play it by ear, play it by you
And while we overdub kisses
The world is a sear on request
Chorus
Chorus
Chorus
It’s never a lonely day
For overdub whishes
For overdub kisses
So whatever happens
I like to say, I like to say
Another thope
There was a time in Soweto
Where blacks will be so fucking free
So the red, the red goes, the rest…
Chorus

WOMEN DON’T LIKE ME
And I’m gonna add some spice to your sleep!
It’s a fact, it’s a comedy
Women and myself
Can’t swing in harmony
With my hair on my face
Got a real love nest
Where is the wits?
Flying all around me
Let it fly, let it fly, let it fly by
Women don’t like me
Let it fly… (repeat)…
I’m gonna add some spice to your sleep!
It’s a storm a cacophony
We’re smashing the tune
And playing the wrong key
It’s a noise to stop by
A music to strip by
Where are the wits?
Flying all around me…
Let it fly…(repeat)
I’ll sponsor you,
If you sponsor me!...
Let it fly…
Women don’t like me…
And I’ll drive you crazy…!
I’m gonna put some words to your lips!
And I’m gonna add some spice to your sleep!
It’s a mood, a giggle party
I’m the two-headed monster
In their weaker sex movie
With my brains on the case
I’ll survive gracefully
Where are the wits?
Flying all around me…
Let it fly…(repeat)
I’m gonna put some words to your lips!
And I’m gonna add some spice to your sleep!
It’s fight, a ceremony
They go through the ceiling
While I crack up on the floor
It’s sport by itself
A joke for everybody
Where are the wits?
Floating all around me…
Let if fly…(repeat)
You’ll kick me nuts
And I’ll drive you crazy…!
I’m gonna put some words to your lips!

LOVE STREAMS
Dedicated to Gena Rowlands &
John Cassavetes
Love is a stream, love is a stream
It never stops, and never drops
Just like Gena Rowlands
And John Cassavetes
And I’ll blow my shadow
Opening night in crescendo
Storming husbands in the drunkyard
Sublime faces to the bone-star
Faces all over the screen of my soul.
of that song
Love is a stream... Repeat...
And I’ll bet my shadow
Opening shot in studio
Striking fist-fight in the backyard
Sublime faces to the bone-star
Faces all over the split of my soul...
Love is, love is a stream...
Dig it I’m almost not crazy enough
Glory, glory ! Gloria allez who what !!!
Repeat...
Love is stream, love is stream
It never stops and never drops
Just like Gena Rowlands
And John Cassavetes...
Love is, love is a stream...
Faces all over the split of my soul...

Off Off Pleasure
Dedicated to Mr. Chet “Fog Horn Soul” Baker.
It’s a late and lonely day
Next is the night
Next is another day
I’m talking to myself
I’d better stop whispering in the dark
I’d better start whistling like a shark
Baby even though I’m here
I’m sailing
Far away from the coast
Off off pleasure
It’s so bright staring at eyes
Next is a tear
Next is another tear
I’m keeping to myself
I’d better start whispering in the dark
I’d better stop whirling like a shark
Baby even though I’m here
I’m drifting
Far away from the coast
Off off pleasure
It’s too hard to stay away
Next is a you
Next is another you
I’m hiding to myself
I’d better start howling in the dark
I’d better stop
Groping like a shark
Baby even though I’m here
I’m flirting
Far away from the coast
Off off pleasure
