BIRTHDAYS
(Lia Hide)
Birthdays and happiness citizens
Barrels of fun and the barrel of a gun
Loaded with happiness on a ship
Filled with stars and off to the Mars
Tiniest of people with pink pop balloons
Off to the moon, aging too soon
With their birthdays and cakes filled with lemonade
Bitter and sweet and wrinkles too deep
Birthdays with no silly carnival,
No New Year's Eye, no Jack-up-your-sleeve
Christmas and Easter's like Mondays
And you have to stay, pretend it's ok
Trapped in your house like a laboratory mouse
A bored little spouse, that waltzes to Strauss
With a ballgown of TikTok-pyjama-style
Posting meanwhile a forced ugly smile
Birthdays got lost in the calendar
Twenty times two a year painted blue
Paused in our armchairs in streaming life
Seasons would change, days washed down the drains
Promised a future but stuck to this now
I'll make it, I vow, but I don't know how
And I'll paint into Birthdays all every days
Spring, summer, fall and winter in gold
Promise I'll make it and you'll make it too
This too shall pass, so raise up your glass
And I'll paint all our Birthdays in glitter dust
Sparkling and bold, to have and to hold

UTERUS WILL
(Aki'Base, Lia Hide, George Rados)
And then one day we die, my love, in concrete sculptured greyhound flats
One day we perish, silly dwarfs, as traffic shifts its lights
From green to red. I halt, I stop, I ran but got to nowhere
I wasted everything my love: a greedy, smart Tom Sawyer
And then one day we die, my love of shiver chills, of silver cars
One day we sleep, make love no more, but waves still crash the stars
From bubbly white to golden sand I ran but got to nowhere
I wanted wings my liege, my dove, my will, my deed, my lover
And then one day we die, my love, a death that's sweet and shift
And sour as the sun; we fade to grey so readily
We liquify our hearts, alive, we suck the essence of our greed
and then one day we die, my love, but none Godified our plea
I trust, I hold, I ask, I'm told, I ran but got to nowhere,
I wanted wings my Ikarus I was the unknows soldier,
Aνάγκη mother of all fate, Aγάπη lover of the weak,
Bία, and then one day we die my love, we got to know her
And then one day we die, my love but I made you immortal
I pictured you, I painted you in blue, in gold, in coral
From green to red the traffic lights grew numb, no-one was driving
I wanted diamonds for your thoughts and we did was lying
And then one day we die, my love, but I made you immortal
I pictured you, I painted you in blue, in gold, in coral
How clean we bled the traffic lights when still, no-one was driving
I wanted diamonds for your thoughts and all we did was dying
If reincarnation is your thing, and you come back to find me
Remember that I liked Chopin
Dementia, sweet darling
Why won't you let go of me
My hands are old and shaking
I cannot find my key
Dementia, sweet husband
Why won't you let go of me
My hands are old and shaking
I cannot find my key
Dementia, sweet husband
Why won't you marry me
I gave you all my legos
Go build a house for me

NIOBE
(Lia Hide)
There once lived a man on a bar stool
He spend there his weekdays till dawn
He liked tumbleweed and cold vodka
Old Tullamore Dew and aged rum
He used to be father and brother
He had seven children and wife
One night they were murdered and vanished
All good people sorrowed and cries
Sip to sip, time flies, tick-tack-toe he sighs
His wife was named Heather and Catherine
She used to be Queen of the Fair
Her skin smelled like Christmas and make-up
But pregnancies didn't play fair
The good people know she grew older
The good people noticed the cracks
On walls, on her skin and complexion
Her daughters and sons made her fat
Babies come, babies cry, tick-tack-toe, oh, oh my!
Imagine – she thought -if- she vanished
All gone when she still had her looks
Then she would be remembered pretty
Her beauty would go down in books
She drank and she wept and she kissed them
And killed them all seven, alone
And make sure to hide them forever
Then she slit her beautiful throat
Mommy don't! mommy why? tick-tack-toe, they die!
You must not blame Heather or Catherine
But if you must, take note of this
Is beauty and vanity blameful?
Or are the good people in bliss?
For somewhere in Hell she's there, watching
She knows all good people will die
Her children are safe in some heaven
And wait for their dad to arrive
Dust to dust, ashes fly, tick-tack-toe! Shhh! Goodbye!

ROW ROW ROW
(Lia Hide, George Rados, Aki'Base)
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, life is but a dream!
On this grey common Monday
Of this year with no end
From Argentina to Dublin
I search again and again
I ride the horses to Cairo
I take the bus to Berlin
To find a city with kindness
From Sacramento to Spain
And all I do is row, row, row the boat
In the city of angels
I hear they run out of guns
I hear they killed all the children
I hear they run out of moms
In the city of charcoal
I hear they run out of gas
I hear they burned every forest
The water's colored with rust
And all I do is row, row, row the boat
I'm stuck in this room while the best of me
Is stuck in a place and the place is still
Instill my juicy, liquid lust
As I cover me up in pure distrust
Can I ran to far, where you won't find me?
Ran out of luck when you met me
I second my view and I seldom need,
I suck it all up, and all I do is row the boat
In the town of religion
I hear they ran out of priests
They ran out of holy water
And now the demons are free
In the city of churches
I hear they killed all the nuns
I hear they lost all the martyrs
And all the saints had to ran
And all I do is row, row, row, row the boat

The Timaeus Sonata
I. PROPOSAL
(Lia Hide)
Some days I wait other days it's too soon
I'm in my void drowing in my room
I hear your voice seems like someone's there
Give me a choice lure me out today
Lie when I'm in my bed (I do)
Lay, somewhere someone's dead (I do)
I'm glad you came, hardly believe I'm there (I do)
Heaven could beam with me (I do) Me and myself, we'll make it
I get confused then I watch your shoes
Tie down my lace disrespect my face
I'm glad you came, hardly believe I'm there (I do)
Heaven could beam with me (I do) Me and myself, we're easy or mean, I

The Timeaus Sonata
II. CLOUD
(Aki'Base, George Rados, Lia Hide)
Sail, Send your way to me
like the way I bleed
a whole inside my skull
I like the way I'm done
slip, fall, here, that I
'Aloud' she cried 'Be careful at the sea'
I spit dispute, I fight disgrace, I'm blinded but I see!
'The enemy, be scared' she said 'is buried in your mind -
A feast, a foe, a missing friend, Atlantis' hidden shore
A Guest - The Number Four'

III. DINNER
(George Rados, Aki'Base, Lia Hide)
Some days I wait other days it's too soon
I hear your voice deep inside my room
Deafen my way, hearing past the will
Darken my day, lure me out today
Can we meet after dinner tonight?
Can we focus on being alright?
I get confused then I watch your shoes
tie down my lace disrespect my face
Can we meet after dinner tonight?
Can we focus on being alright?
I have no life (hear me out today)
I have no life (sun in the sky) can we? I have no..

WYNNONA
(Lia Hide, Aki'Base, George Rados)
Life, go strange
I grow weary
From Monday to Friday I sleep
Life go strange
I'm your dearie
And Wednesdays I try to be deep
I hang and bang my head against to the wall
Insignificant me
I dry my clothes and then my sky starts to fall
And you're echoing me
Wynnona, on my own now!
Wynnona is it me?
Why Nona? What I don't get
Why on earth, why is it me?

Diary of the Shadow
by Thee Holy Strangers
supported by 4 fans who also own “The Missing Fourth Guest”
We've waited a long time for Thee Holy Strangers' second album! But yes, it was worth the wait, the band delivered a sophomore made of gold. Rocky, dusty gold, mind you, crude yet pure and beautiful! This is an indie-rock anthem with the distinguish americana style that the band established from the debut. It seems to have a conceptual flow and works really like a time-stopping spell. Great job, it's such a pleasure to hear THS music once again!
