LOCO
Never give a promise as a gift
never eat a melon with a fish
cant believe in anything you read
don’t eat nothing bigger than your head
Never seen a rock that couldn't roll
never met a thief who never stole
Spiderman ain’t gonna save the day
The writing may be hiding on the wall
or maybe somewhere underneath the Lino
We’re Loco, totally Loco
like a crazy gringo
who’s spent to long in the sun
now he’s Loco
drunk to much vino
we can never say no
we’re just lost in a race to the end.
Never seen a year without a day
never seen a river lose its way
never seen a plant that couldn't grow
every fiction turns into a fact
any gram can dream that he’s a kilo

Laughing Hyenas

Laughing Hyenas
Tango Titanic dance and flail
they said its much to big to fail
transparent as the holy grail
secrets and twisted lies
No need to panic we’re alright
got all the bounty locked up tight
its all offshore
much more than you’ll ever find
Laughing Hyenas
run with the pack
never believe they’ve got your back
Laughing Hyenas
off to the cleaners
where all your hopes and dreams
are turned to dust.
The books are cooking sweet and sour
by all the crooks paid hour by hour
to get the taste that they devour
no tax to pay, thats nice
black rubber Wall street bouncing back
still shaking hands with the old pals act
don’t mind the law
they bought that one as well

Carpe Afternoon
Lunchtimes never early
but it's alright
breakfast may be late but there's still daylight
Making deadlines
Can focus the mind
But I love the way they sound
as/when they fly by
Carpe afternoon, no rush at all
To late to seize the day
But there's another one coming soon
Life's a carnival full of jokers and fools
Why play the game
Carpe afternoon
Don't worry about those missed calls, they can ring back
The early bird eats the worm,
well you can keep that
They say 8 hours is all the rest that we need
But I say any less than 12 isn't healthy
Make it slow mo, good things take time
Wait till/and you know
When it's time to fly

Always Remember You

I Will Always Remember You
The battle is done/won
bring me my bottle and gun
lets all escape and be young
if only once again
The cattle have run
no grass to graze on
only the smoking remains
of the way we were
So lift your glass and raise a smile
tomorrow will be here in a little while
and when the stars in the night burn blue
I will always remember you
The heat of the wine
warms me like sweet summertime
delicate fruit of the vine
plucked and destroyed so well
Sacred are those
who keep their light on
who never hide from
all of the ways they hurt
So lift your glass and raise a smile
tomorrow is only another now
and/but when the stars in the night burn blue
I will always remember you

La Dolche Vita
Viva, viva viva dolche vita
viva, viva viva, la dolche vita
Coffee black as the night sweet in the morning
girls hot as the sun high in the sky
wine sweet on the lips like an explosion
days turn into night turn into love
people struggling hard trying to be happy
people waste their whole life trying to be right
I want move like a wave over the ocean
I want to see you dance for me tonight
Girls and cars, late night bars
magic music and moonlight
bright sunshine dressing fine
Im so happy to live this life
Girls and cars, late night bars
magic music and moonlight
bright sunshine dressing fine
Im so happy to live this life
Oh Viva, la dolche vita
beautiful fever, la dolche vita
Oh Viva, la dolche vita
beautiful fever, la dolche vita
Sugar touching the tongue la strolyatella
chocolate kissing the cream, tiramisu
musics burning the stage playing forever
and I want to spend it all dancing with you
Girls and cars, late night bars
magic music and moonlight
bright sunshine dressing fine
Im so happy to live this life
Oh Viva, la dolche vita
beautiful fever, la dolche vita
Oh Viva, la dolche vita
beautiful fever, la dolche vita

Beautiful Land
The ship is lost
all that is left is us
and all that we can trust
is that this lifeboat will keep us afloat
Sharks are close
to taste what they love the most
ready to brag and boast
how much they ate/gulped down
so pull hard on the oars, theres….
Land soon, where we can stand soon
bring on the band, jazz hands
its showtime again
and when the musics playing loud
we’ll remember all who drowned
oh land, beautiful land, where are you now.
Foods all gone
cant tighten this belt no more
sucked all the water from
this rusty old /clarinet mouthpiece
and it tasted quite salty
Give us a song
help keep our spirits strong
been out in this heat so long
don’t know which way is north
just got to believe in/theres…
Chorus
As I sink slowly down
with tuba in hand
I touch the land
ocean floor land
here you are now

I Knew Your Mother

I Knew Your Mother
She was a beauty, sleek and serene
her temper was a nightmare, but her face was a dream
I never thought I would stand a chance
but a sweet tooth turned sweet talk to romance
She had the heart I had the muscle and bone
I said lets make a baby she said build me a home
all in all it was a hell of a ride
but as we both got big there weren't no room inside
Waistbands stretching through diets and fads
piling on the pounds with the pots and pans
scales straining with the calorie count
but theres always a little more chocolate around
Highchair to deckchair
we dance and we sing
living like paupers, dreaming like kings
time is a battle that no one can win
But we, keep living cos we can't give up
one more breath may be all we got
time is a battle that no one can win
but I knew your mother when we were both thin

Wake Up

WAKE UP
Cant blame nobody when your wrong
can't blame nobody when you it takes to long
don’t put nobody in control
you gotta pay back what you owe, soon enough
Cant blame nobody when your cold
don’t blame nobody that your getting old
cant spend your money when its done
can’t live for ever better, use it to have some fun
Now every books got different pages
and every page got different lines
gotta work to get those wages
gotta live before you die
Cos the clock keeps ticking and turning
and every days’s got a different night
so if you cant keep the fire burning
and your hearts gone/getting cold inside
Wake up! Wake up!
Get up! Turn the music up!
Mamma and papa let them go
those role models getting way to old
conscious collision ain’t wrong
you gotta break it all down, before they can grow up
Don’t need permission to evolve
no competition in how much trouble you got
always somebody hurting more
anticipation got you strung out wanting it all

If This Is Love

If this is love
If this is love why do I resist
The feelings of one so sensitive
If this is love where's the violins
So I know this is where it all begins
If this is love shouldn't there be more
Moonlight walks on a distant shore
If this is love should my mouth be dry
Or at least could I be a little shy
But there’s no trace of what we base all this on
with no hidden cost to pay
Maybe it makes some sense
invade me with interest
More than just to undress again
If this is love
If this is good why am I unsure
If it's enough why am I wanting more
could I be wrong, made my worst mistake
and given what wasn't mine to take
So in the absence of another burning cross
screaming that we cannot be saved
I'll move purposely, towards uncertainly
and set this victim free again
If this is love
If there's no luck only destiny
then am I stuck with what this seems to be
if there's a list could they check it now
and see if I've been misspelt somehow
Or is this love

C'est La Vie, Mon Cherie

Ce la vie mon Cherie
Ce la vie mon Cherie
Sail away and adieu
We're so far now from our reality
Sail away and disperse
What you've waited to learn
If your sure now the door now is closed
Dose it matter that all that was said
has sunk to the bottom like lead
But it's to far to dive down and breath them new life now
To rise up to dry land but who knows the way
Ce la vie mon Cherie
Wave goodbye
and adiu
We're so far now from our old fantasy
Ce la vie mon Cherie
There's a place I believe
We can be friends with these great memories
Dose it matter that all that was said
has sunk to the bottom like lead
And it's to far to dive down and breath them new life now
To rise up to dry land but who knows the way
Ce la vie mon Cherie
Are you listening to me
Or dreaming of another who has come
For it's only a moment
That we are alone meant to be
Can't you see
Ce la vie mon Cherie

It's Possible
Hear you breathing as Im leaving, silently
Secret keeping, empty preaching
don't taste right to me
pages of life don't always turn right
But I know it's possible
after hard times gonna be strong agin
say we understand and then we go and do it
over and over again
when will we learn it's possible
Familiar feelings still revealing
history
no deceiving, little words of healing
wash me clean to see
that lessons in life
ain't always in sight
But I know it's possible
after hard times gonna be strong agin
say we understand and then we go and do it
over and over again
when will we learn it's possible

Loco Ironico London, UK
Loco Ironico is The brainchild of British singer-songwriter Joe Cang and Italian musician and composer Matteo
Saggese
Songs of GMO crops, shipwreck and elusive future physical fitness that draw on New Orleans jazz, Cuban tango and calypso.
Think Randy Newman and Buena Vista.
As Joe says : ‘This is music for those with a taste for the ironic and laconic and for those who prefer whisky to tonic”
