You Are The Gun

You know your city’s dirt and grime
Just confuses my mind
Doesn’t look so pretty, but I don’t care
I’m gonna move on and find some air
Right now all I can feel
The sting on my neck
The burdens don’t make it feel so free
But you bring it on home to me

I won’t run, I won’t run,
I won’t hide
I won’t run, I won’t run,
I’m gonna ride

You are the gun
That shoots it on home
You are the one
That drives it on home
Out in the night
I found my key
Out in the night
Never knew love could flow so free

I won’t run, I won’t run,
I won’t hide
I won’t run, I won’t run,
I’m gonna ride

I won’t run, I won’t run,
I won’t hide
I won’t run, I won’t run,
I’m gonna ride
I won’t run, I won’t run,
I’m gonna ride
I won’t run, I won’t run,
never again

Windblown Kiss

A windblown kiss
Carried over the sea
On sunlight’s rays
Dreams of delight
Dance their way to me

Einen luftkusse
Uber die meere
An eninem sonnenstrahl
Reizende traume
Tanzem mir zu

One can cry only so many
Sea salty tears
Oceans of missed kisses
Over the years

— By Anji Bee (BMI), German translation by Kristiane Joy

Swollen Sea

Will you return here?
Engulfed by a bleak fear
Have you been swallowed
By the swollen sea?

Where have you gone to?
Pray tell it’s not true
That you’ve been swallowed
By the swollen sea

Drowning, drowning — oh no (x2)

Swim back, please swim back
Oh swim back, please swim back to me
Swim back, please swim back
Oh swim back, please swim back to me

Will you return here?
Engulfed by a bleak fear
Have you been swallowed
By the swollen sea?

Where have you gone to?
Pray tell it’s not true
That you’ve been swallowed
By the swollen sea

Drowning, drowning — oh no (x4)

Our Nights

Floating along on an ocean breeze
The island coast in view
You’ll be the captain and I your mate
We need no other crew
The weather is fair, the sky is clear
The waves are very few
Nobody out on this perfect day
So I’m all alone with you

Sailing along here in Avalon
The sun’s so warm and bright
How I enjoy our lovely days
But look forward to our nights
Our nights (x2)

Out in our boat on the open sea
The summer light is strong
Everything’s different, time is changed
The days can feel so long
All of our cares seem to disappear
Nothing could be wrong
Let us stay here forevermore
It’s where we both belong
Belong (x2)

Sailing along here in Avalon
The sun’s so warm and bright
How I enjoy our lovely days
But look forward to our nights
Sailing along here in Avalon
The sun’s so warm and bright
How I enjoy our lovely days
But look forward to our nights

Our nights (x4)

Old Kazoo Blues (Hidden Track)

That girl mistreated me
She really done me wrong
That girl mistreated me
She really done me wrong
That’s why I’m singing
This low-down ole blues song

She made a fool of me
It tore me all apart
She made a fool of me
It tore me all apart
She made me feel so bad
It nearly broke my heart

She got me feeling down
She got me feeling so blue
She got me feeling down
She got me feeling so blue
Guess there ain’t nothing left
But to play my kazoo

That girl’s been telling lies
She plays it off so cool
That girl’s been telling lies
She plays it off so cool
What does she take me for?
I ain’t no little girl’s fool

Oh So Long

As the days pass
From dusk to dawn
I count the minutes
And the hours
‘Til you come home again

And it’s oh so long to wait
I lack the patience
Give me strength
Lord, give me strength

Give me strength
Lord, give me strength

As the years pass
From frost to thaw
I count the days
And the months
‘Til I go home again

And it’s oh so long to wait
I lack the patience
Give me strength
Lord, give me strength

I Can't See You

I don’t recall the last time we met
Oh dear, seems you have yet to forget
But I, I’ve moved on
There’s nothing that I regret

No I, no I can’t see you
No I, I can’t be with you
Don’t try to kiss me
I’ll only push you away
Don’t say you miss me
There’s some things that one shouldn’t say
We both know it’s over
And it should stay that way

No I, no I can’t see you
No I, I can’t be with you
Don’t hold my hand
I think you know the score
Please try to understand
I’m not your girl anymore
Go on, don’t force me
To show you to the door

No, no, no no

Non je, je ne puis pa vous voir
Je ne puis pa etre avec vous
Je suis desole
Je ne veux pas voux

No, no, no, no
No, no, no, no

How The Thieves Ride

Oh when the dust blows
How it clouds my eyes
Oh how I wish I could see you

Oh how the thieves ride
They scream through the night
Oh how I wish I could lose them

I’ll refuse them
Then I’ll lose them
I won’t abuse them
But I’m gonna lose them
I’ll refuse them
Then I’ll lose them
I won’t abuse them
But I’m gonna leave them behind

Oh when the shells fall
And wicked men play games
Oh how I choose to refuse them

Now as the day ends
And clouds close my eyes
Oh how I wish I could see you

Oh when the thoughts bite
And drain my hollow head dry
Oh how I know I must forsake them

I’ll refuse them
Then I’ll lose them
I won’t abuse them
But I’m gonna lose them
I’ll refuse them
Then I’ll lose them
I won’t abuse them
But I’m gonna leave them behind

I’ll refuse them
Then I’ll lose them
I won’t abuse them
But I’m gonna lose them
I’ll refuse them
Then I’ll lose them
I won’t abuse them
But I’m gonna leave them behind
Behind (x3)

He Calls Me

He calls me
Every night he calls me, calls me
I listen, open up my heart and listen
His voice is like a song
I hear the melodies
So I learn them
Write them down so I can play them

People say I speak in tongues
People say that I am channeling
People say I speak in tongues
People say that I am channeling

People say I speak in tongues
People say that I am channeling
Help me, help me
Show them your glory

People say I speak in tongues
People say that I am channeling
Help me, help me
Show them your glory

He calls me
Every night he calls me, calls me
I listen, open up my heart and listen
His voice is like a song
I hear the melodies
So I learn them
Write them down so I can play them

Let them understand
You are in everything we do
(He calls me, every night he calls me)
(Help me, help me show them your glory)

Dejame

Que somos?
Donde vamos?
Por que somos como somos?

Nada me turbe
Nada me espante
Todo se pasa

Que toda la vida es sueno
y los suenos, suenos son

Hay mas tiempo que vida
Dejame — sin miedo
Hay mas tiempo que vida
Dejame — sosegada

Nada me turbe
Nada me espante
Todo se pasa

Que toda la vida es sueno
y los suenos, suenos son

Hay mas tiempo que vida
Dejame — sin miedo
Hay mas tiempo que vida
Dejame – sosegada

Que somos?
Donde vamos?
Por que somos como somos?

Nada me turbe
Nada me espante
Todo se pasa

Hay mas tiempo que vida
Dejame
Hay mas tiempo que vida
Dejame

Ha ha ha!!!

This is a funny review from a New York punk & rock n roll fansite called New York Waste:

LOVESPIRALS Windblown Kiss is a soft, gentle breeze blowing through the white curtains of your perfect house on the hill with little flowers growing all pretty in a row in a garden of soft green grass to stretch out on in those lazy days we call summer. Okay, enough, enough, I’m gonna puke! Okay, very lovely stuff. Dreamy voices floating over spanish guitar, this a huge potential in some hot European country, just keep it out of mine!

So who the heck sent them this review copy?

Lycia

Just joined the Lycia mailing list about a week ago and have entered into many lively chats with Tara and friends about all kinds of fun stuff. She’s kinda sad that they missed the Projekt Fest… There’s been a lot of talk about getting all the AZ Projekt bands together to do a show out there sometime, so maybe we can get either Lycia, Estraya or Tara Van Flower to make an appearance?

Anyway, if you like Lycia, too, come check out their newslist at: http://lycia.darkspire.net/
