Lyrics: Minouche
Cello: Sibylle Ruppin
All other instruments and vocals: JOS

Minouche published her lyrics in the R Cat Tearooms. I liked them so much that I decided to use them in a new song. Minouche agreed and I composed. As I didn't want to use samples I asked Sibylle to play the cello. First I recorded the playback and vocals. Then I wrote the score and recorded Sibylles part. Minouche is member of an amazing band called Syngularity.

 

Strange Lines

There's a dirty pond in our garden
but there's no sugar in my tea
but old-smelled ladies at the bridge club
and ticking bombs in the depth of the sea

not all the spies have come out of the cold
not all the demons have come out of the hell
but all the fats burst out of their trousers
and I'm the only one who's looking very well

but something keeps me always shy
I've got no reason to conceal the truth
I still put my hand under the tie
when I want to count to two

truly love to you
is like cast pearls before the swine
now let us go to your place or to mine
I like to sit in a chair
just building castle in the air
and please give me no shake
cuz I could awake
