Magdalene 04:26
Is Magdalene alive Will she follow me tonight I am going to the fields Where the olive meets the oil Is Magdalene there waiting for me Will she hold my hand Is magdalene still mine Will she resque me tonight Will she taste my bitter tears For the godless human race Where is magdalene tonight Oh she s teaching love to men Then she s trying to survive From the furious mind eat crowd A pair of lips just for once to be kissed I wish i was a strange fruit bitten by you Are you finally coming there Do i finally win on the other side of life I'm flesh and blood now I'm the son of that god that s never been found And i pray for the mic and poor My heart sinks to the sea i don't want to go there
2.
Me Tarzan you Jane Me boy and you girl in timing Me Tarzan you Jane Me stop and you play in timing in timing.. She's a virgin I'm her son Solar wings i'm flying Maybe i'm the chosen one Might die i'm already gone In timing.. Me Tarzan you Jane Me gone and you stay it's fine Me Tarzan you Jane Me wrong and you say it's fine
3.
Heaven is something i cherish you for Cause I'm here and you open the door Freedom is something i just realised It is you on a pink green balloon You are the girl with the real hair With the glory of light in your head And the sun and the moon by the end of june Gonna stand on your left and your right Freedom is something i recently found I can walk with your feet on the ground Heaven is there and you hold my hand On a cake where no one is fake
4.
She looks like a boy to me And i'm her favourite game and she's my favourite toy She can make the flowers grow when the rain falls Holy shit she knows what i need She knows exactly what to do to keep me feet She's saying something She's talking to the stars And then she sounds like a boy to me And yeah she's got her hots for me My mother goes oh my oh me She's the ugliest girl i've ever seen She may look like a boy to you But i'm her favourite shower gel she's my shampoo Omg she's a colour unseen on the rainbow Holy fuck she knows how to suck She knows exactly what to do to scratch my back She's saying something She's talking to the stars And she may never wear a beauty crown in her life But she's on the rainbow And everytime i touch her soul i feel divine Cause i'm in the brainstorm of love Yes she's mine Though she s ugly I don't mind
5.
She's full of light she s dancing in the dark She's underwater dancing with a shark My heart s beating faster My feet are searching for the ground My mind's running wilder Everytime she turns around She's on the phone she s talking to the stars She's on the sofa talking to the gods She's on the cover of a magazine She's here and there and i am in between

Smurfita 05:09
My smurfita's fine in pink she's in A kindergarden smile Then she's sixteen you know what i mean she is A famous dildo queen My smurfita's fine in white satin I bet she's counting men Multiplying her orgasms every night I'll love her till i die Her lovely tiny dress Dare to say if jesus was a girl I think he'd look like her My smurfita shines in glitter sun I hope she's having fun Like a fairy on an endless flight I 'll love her till i die She said i 'll love you till i die
7.
The sea's just a gel of blue The moon is a button of light You are the sister of june And it's still July Silence in my homeless mind No words from my tongueless mouth You left the living room North is going south So many miles away from home and My heart is in a desert place The sun's just an orange tear The sky is a lake of stars Winter time is near But you're still too far

Biscuit 04:00
You are my toothbrush And the morning sun on my face I am waiting for your love My day begins You are my toothbrush You are my bisquit And a cup of tea by the sea I'm still waiting for your love Crunchie and sweet You are my bisquit You are my pillow And a sense of red in my head I'm still waiting for your love I'm in my pj's You are my pillow
10.
I picture a sky of wings And children instead of stars Your eyes on my face i concuer space Your love is a wonderfull place I put on my finest clothes I make true my wildest dreams but yet My kingdom is near but you re not here I ain't gonna be a king I picked up a distant sun And sailed to another earth I followed the fate of the human race But still couldn't see your face

about

The album inspiration has come from the artist’s personal experiences, real or imagined, where he embraces and observes the everyday labyrinth of the female body, mind and soul. Each piece of music on this album is its own unique story of a girl. Each girl or muse, has a story to tell and even more to leave to our imagination. Ten women. Ten female chapters. Characters that might be familiar to you, women you know, will meet or never will encounters. Characters we will only read about or hear about thought out the course of our life time.

Listening to the album some may recognise in some of the pieces a friend or a lover, a description of a stranger but also, probably, to see a reflection of yourself. Some could possibly dream of a lost or unrequited love, reminisce about a girl who passed through their lives, a love at first sight that still lives on..


The album refers to the human understanding of love and life itself. The artist expresses in his way how a woman loves and is loved, how according to her moods she can or cannot be accessible, how she sometimes can be a distant unreachable dream, that can easily be converted into a chimera, a blessing or a utopia. 10 real stories, expressed with all the literal elements of real and fictional aspects of the female personality and existence, which reflect thousands of hidden stories out there, and luckily there are countless types of women.


The result is simply intoxicating. Highly introspective, often melancholic, with moments of great inspiration and always melodic "I Ain ' t Gonna Be A King" is a composition of classic jazz, instrumental and electronic rock, retro Greek using sounds from the decades of the 50s, 60s and 70s as well as of today. Piano, violins, accordion, percussion, bass, guitar and many other aspects mixed beautifully to give a very special effect in this stunning arrangement. Some could say the album is a therapeutic experience that ends in a number of realisations, many life lessons and in the end the ever growing concept of the artist’s vision on innocence, mind, body, sexuality, ugliness.. Expressing the details of the summer, the mist, time, and life itself into a wonderful conceptive album with lyrics simple and sweet in this unique creation.
10 creations inspired by Them and above all dedicated to Them.
