lyrics

Is this supposed to be funny? Is this supposed to be real? There’s nothing funny about it... Nothing is more real... Nothing is more true... Nothing smells worse than this bed... Nothing has ever left so many scars on my skin... You see them walking down the street... Pushing prams in their white trainers... Wombs swollen by infected seed... The future belongs to the bastard child of this swamp... I witness Christ... Recrucified... Every Saturday afternoon... In the overcrowded hall of a shopping centre... Mary has been sent into exile... And Magdalene forced back into a brothel where neon lights advertise the cheapest communion in town... This street smells of bacon... Its walls are dripping sweat... Like swine led by greasy hands to the slaughter... They stand in line for the cashier machine... Lipstick on their lips... Crawling in mud to protect their skin... I’m left alone under His cross... Sticking the spear in his chest... Pushing him toward a quicker departure from the land of mud and honey... It’s for good, it’s forever, no turning back... The highest sacrifice wasted for the swine... Consuming, polluting, drinking, dancing... He stares at me with no contempt... He can close his eyes, but he cannot plug his nose...

“It’s all about sex, a matter of power... Just violent self-expression... Your body as a weapon, your fluids as poison... Nature gave you muscles for one reason... I am born to raise hell... Against your sisterhood of shit... ”

lyrics

Forced into reality... Choking in discomfort... Whenever any remains of happiness build one more castle of illusion... Nausea of living... I just hope I fall asleep early tonight... One, two, three drops… Good night, mate. Morpheus is taking care of you... How long is this going to last? How long are you going to be sedated for? Nothing left but these four walls... No memories, no family... Smash every mirror that stares at you with your own face... Just a flame in disguise... A river without water... A cross without a church... A word without a voice... A marriage without brutality... Violence without love... Lust without satisfaction... Just four grey walls crushing every one of your brain cells. Gotta feed that baby... Gotta make him grow. Gotta give him a lesson... Gotta teach him good manners. Let him rot in his cradle... Feed him dust and soap... Just a quick fix... Just a quick shot… A gun to your head... Bullets inscribed with ‘Love’. She couldn’t be bothered... She just couldn’t be fucking bothered. You haven’t been lucky, have you?

about

These are the unmastered and pre-mixed tracks featured on the Memories from the pigsty CD released by TESCO (www.tesco-germany.com) in 2008. This is how the CD sounded before getting to know Lou Chano, a meeting that led to the intense mastering sessions at Quadraro Basement (www.quadrarobasement.com), with Lou (www.myspace.com/louchano), Fuzzy and Rough.
Some of these tracks sound pretty different than the final result and have been used as background for the live actions.
This digital album features the first draft of the cover.
