CHARLEY STONE - words & music - Burns Come scrape me off the floor Like all them times you did before Feed me vodka feed me wine We’ll have that last drink one more time See them angels dance in mud They brake the chains of their vengeful god He dancing like an old scarecrow She do the Can Can and the Charlie Stone Two tailed monkey three eyed frog We all just fuck like hungry dogs Watch the mutants comb their hair She lost her wings man she don't care

EARLS BLACK RABBIT words & music -Burns I killed the colonel i kissed the Queen I seen the confused horse I seen the dream Batman glows in Batman’s clothes down Batman’s tunnel Batman goes Wash your eyes out to the sea lay down beside me and float away with me kill the pain kill the shame drug me feed the bad monkey your petite isle and your bent teepee wash me in the river rip this old shirt off me I fall over i fall twice I fall into you all night Don’t sing the blues I don’t sing the rouge just send them sailing out to you and where it goes Hey they don’t know the river kiss the sea and so it goes

Slug of Love 04:26
SLUG OF LOVE words Perez, Burns. music Burns Black bones stained again sailing to the flood swimming in amber a slide for my itch I was born to suffocate on red lace Slug of love Black blood is like a flowin ride for my lover Come in our kingdom of mud She gave me that song Together we rip the whole joint apart Swing the cherry swing the pain in a holy heaven all day and you swing swing with me Swing the cherry swing the pain Black heart keeps beating for all them Barren roads you walk Fucking beaks that squawk I was born to suffocate on the red lace Black plaque dancing with me so pretty and so numb Champagne my friend it’s just a virgin a plane Crashing down in the sun Swing the cherry swing the chain swing cherry stains and you swing swing the plaque with me once again
5.
Coffin Song 04:33
COFFIN SONG words & music - Burns Watched the sun slide down the drain another heart washed away out to the poison sea where she freeze How she end here she don’t know she was a true heart long ago full of blood a pumping love now she just bleed mud Shared disease old thing I drag around Sold a snake oil scented plan all turned to shit just like a man pain and champagne taste the same as chewing sand Cough a dream a coffin sung to the twins that never come shadow does what shadows done A tortured wind eats the walls the city dreams of water falls sliding graves grandmas bones bare kill the clown the joke don't care Fell down them green hills just to climb the grass another bug dance in a web like fish in glass

Numb Fingers 03:47
NUMB FINGERS words - Perez . music - Burns And in the shadows walk here come the snake bite Back is the lullaby back again I know Yes I cannot move sitting here for days Sitting in the dark again as you say I’m not supposed to come into this hell with you and theres this hoarse whisper singing for you Try to move my numb fingers try to wake up that doll it’s just a useless calling when I see your mocking eyes I try not move I try not to fall I won’t cry cut fingers cannot hurt You knock on a lot of doors whenever I let you in I try a lovely haze and spend so many days Ignoring mirror fears and now I’m back in Back in that crowded noise don’t want to hear again What about the dancing walls what about the unsteady gate What about the crawling horses i will not change the way Yes I can breath on keeping dust in hand what am I supposed to do what am I supposed to say

Swamp Bogan 03:18
SWAMP BOGAN Words-Burns. Music-Hallenan les chiens sont ivre ils prennent un coup de vieux et pleurent souvent ils jouent à la balle et ils s’amusent quand ils gagnent je verse une larme pour toi et pour toi aussi les putain d’égoïstes meurent tous tu me manques le monde est bien peu de chose sans ton souffle et je voudrais être ailleurs je suis le cendrier de tes poumons percés et pourtant je vois toujours le soleil chéri le temps d'un instant à travers tes yeux bleus je pourrais ravaler toutes les larmes versées on ne s'est même pas dit au revoir jusqu'à la prochaine fois mon coeur, tu me manques

Do I hold the bottle or it holds me knock em back their all dead but I still breath dig em up hey hey whats your game I never did get how you play Just admit your complicit and find a kiss and dance with it

In Zadar 04:19
IN ZADAR words Perez, Burns. music-Burns In the night I fall into the Dawn steal the writing on the walls and all We can paint the pictures make the petals fall and the wind can kiss them all In Zadar the sea’s singing to me I’m the organ breathing at your feet and your waves rhythm with the swell Won’t you dance again, sing into my breath Your the diamond dust raised up in my dream Yes I will follow invisible dreams Look into your eyes your a dizzy star Spent so many days lying with my ghost When you walk my way the birds undress the sky Singing a song of torn dress noise Walk with you walk away never go and the wind can kiss them all
10.
One by One 03:46
ONE By ONE words- Perez. Music - Burns Taste your lips till the poison but the taste of it is really gone I can stare at the falling walls in an odd place I used to call home One by one they disappear it’s hard to fight against floating years and all the trains and all the days wish I could hold them once again Step by step they say it’s easy though I cannot disagree I paint make up on smiling eyes but the heat outside burns my face out One by one they cry for more and it’t a useless endless lonely walk you can say whatever you want It’s a heaven’s curse that becomes Change the way the things you hold whatever you love will be thrown to dogs chase off the drifting hours I think i can bite even more Still can walk and I can arm my fears to take away all the tears they go down like a sunken ship and drag down the drowning kiss

Don Brung 04:07
DON BRUNG words & music- Burns Don't love me and don't you sell me don't smell me like were through don't say you give me rainbows or that you make me blue don't make it last for always don't make it last a day don't tell me your leaving or that your gunna stay Don't sail me down that river of shit Oh baby don't you do it Tied up in vines bodies intwined we drown in time No music in the morning soap opera all the night hiding in the sunshine flying through the light there never was tomorrow there always was today only speaking to much when got ya nothing to say This flame last eternal its snuffed in a puff there can never be too much there never is enough each day it brung new promise each day it brung new pain will always be a shadow will always be a stain

about

Quand un Pirate australien rencontre une Sirène parisienne, les mouchent frissonnent.
Blues mystérieux, poésie brumeuse..si vous ne courrez pas les voir, vous n'êtes pas à l’abri que leurs fantômes vous poursuivent & vous arracher les cheveux..un à un.

.........

"Et voilà ! Un disque sublime et agité. Hirsutes, hallucinés et brûlés jusqu'à l'os, la Francilienne Sophie Perez (Tulla Larsen) et l'Australien Glenn Burns (Womnal, Burn In Hell) ancrent leurs textes habités à une interzone brumeuse d'une chaîne rouillée qui ne demande qu'à rompre sous les coups de butoir d'un blues-rock des plus cramés. Travaillés à deux sur les scènes les plus fumeuses de France et de Navarre (nous en fûmes !), c'est sur disque avec un groupe de quatre musiciens au taquet que les Killing Flies prennent leur envol en annonçant la couleur :

"Feed Me Vodka, Feed Me Wine
We'll Have That Last Drink
One More Time"

Fanfare possédée, en marche psychiatrique, les pieds dans la pénombre, ces hobos déglingués avancent à coeur ouvert. Pas une once de chiqué, pas une seconde de provoc' gratuite : les Killing Flies incarnent trop leur musique, bave aux lèvres et regards cinglés, pour douter de la sincérité inquiétante de ces chansons où le diable claudique et éructe ses cantiques maudits, le visage crépi de boue, de foutre et des larmes d'un(e) autre.
S'immerger dans ce disque, rien de plus simple. Là où ça se complique c'est quand il faut en sortir, s'en défaire. Intrusives, invasives, appuyant chaque mot, chaque note, leurs deux voix en fusion parfaite vous percuteront et vous hanteront jusqu'à l'obsession.

Fascinant voyage dans les méandres de leurs cerveaux cabossés où l'amour et la violence dansent sur les tables, brisent du verre et se saoûlent jusqu'à plus soif, cette musique nous offre un aller sans retour pour une terra incognita qu'on fantasmait depuis si longtemps, et où on ne cessera plus désormais de se perdre.

Merci à eux de nous avoir ouvert en grand les portes de ce monde interlope qui interrogent nos sens et défrichent au chalumeau le champ des possibles des bringues à venir : sauvages, psychotropes et bouillantes ! BLAM !!
