Prince Of Persia 04:56
lyrics
I wanna go home I'm feeling so miserable Stuck a knife into a star-shaped box To stab my no-sleep thoughts Lady, Lady (Thump) Since first you knocked at my door and I knocked-out sweetly and no got back It echoes round like a blurred death The death of the old me Play Blame I can't escape I was so self sure I'd never hurt you like he done Now I oughta be ashamed of myself, the better man Lady, Lady (Thump) When first I saw you in that black dress Beliefs fell down and I missed breath I love you so but I love her too, there is no cure Play Blame I can't escape Prince of Persia can have you both I don't

Young Ebenezer 03:40
lyrics
Wasted Teenage millionaire He’s looking at his hands
 They’re in a cold sweat, drenched Memories
 Turn around his head
 Why did I cheat on dad? 
Where are my friends, he asks Climb the ladder Young Ebenezer 
Then go buy drugs
 Keep going... Sitting
 On the bench ahead 
We've got enough of him 
Cry's easier than work, innit? 

 Over it 
Come on lads, get over it 
They've the money but we
 We have ideas and beauty Climb the ladder Young Ebenezer
 Then go buy drugs
 Keep going

... Forget the ladder Young Ebenezer
 Then try rehab

Coming Over Me 03:18
lyrics
I quit smoking a thousand times every year Every fag on the ground is a salty tear The doctor has said “you'd better care, Have you seen what has happened to ya senior man?” Oh I got black brown eyes but no tears to dry Just more taxes than money and a lack of smile Got a friend at the job who committed suicide And the papers they tell of his dirty life A friend of his started worrying of his wife But no paper has tell it was before to tie And politicians wait for the Pope in line While an earthquake goes 5 on the Richter scale It’s coming over me I let some white flowers on the damned place To remind everyone where the shame took place But unfortunately came at work little late got immediately fired cuz of bad behave So I lighted a fag for my doctor’s sake When a clerk is down done, give his lungs a chase Then I took a long walk but my feet were fraying Found a lash on my hand, what a lucky day! He was a passionate lover! Now he blows in the wind like a feather No all those people who watch no, they don’t know Someone around screams “salvation!!” It’s coming over me

Jim & Jam 03:34
lyrics
Oh me born in between the big city and the northern-western hills where young people do work hard work hard to make dad proud and earn money for big cars big cars they pay each month All we want Wherever far from... Oh you productive kid you quit school at sixteen to set you free we met down the old tent, took the bench where dealers sit and there we become real friends close friends like Jim & Jam Oh we spent time with Tim he loved engines so bad he'd live within a garage on his knees fixing wheels with dirty hands but his father wanted him to study so, well, that's it All we want Wherever far from here Wherever far from you

Let Me Get Out 02:12
lyrics
I've learnt how to scream Now teach me to sing The more I lose followers the more I feel free Emotions you sell they don't work on me Emotions you sell they don't work on me Let me get out I've learnt how to deal with what people do think I ride the stream of consciousness Peralta '76 Opinions you sell they don't work on me Opinions you sell they don't work on me Let me get out

Lose It All 03:25
lyrics
I hate this random weather Been raining for a month Could you bring the sunny back, baby? It's easter at my place It's hard to come of age I've got memoirs I've got regrets, the same way Hangin on the walls Pictures from the past I love you all, it's time to make the next step I'm feeling upside down I go back and forth I close the door I'm going on my own I'm going on my own What a thrill it is to risk To lose it all If it's a tough decision Am I being tough enough? I've been waiting for too long, now I'm done Ain't seen a lot of movies Aint' read a lot of books I like when people show me something unknown I'm packing all my stuff But that is not too much I gotta keep some empty space to be filled I'm feeling upside down I go back and forth I close the door I'm going on my own I'm going on my own What a thrill it is to risk To lose it all

The Surfer 03:00
lyrics
I let the things go their own way I cross the breeze I am the surfer I grasp its meaning underneath Another mission to accomplish I am the son who disappeared Please gentlemen, place your own bet Nobody's gonna give a call So come on, let's do something I wanna come inside of you to know What is like to be the one you love I let the things go their own way Such a miserable feeling Lamb of god, down on your knees I used to think I could kill it Then what's happened, don't know yet I'm alone in the city Got no friends got no respect So let's get what we needin I wanna come inside of you to know What is like to be the one you love

Tremerai Ancora 03:43
lyrics
everything's dirty in here dust from the last five years red strawberry bed where we used to breath when the kid turned man it seemed to last forever forever weight of our lives in a stream of light friend of the night come closer take off your pants oh how sweet you breath I remember that it's like it was forever forever another day my friend come on pick me up again again again more yes I want more I want it now fruits in full bloom beautiful youth tremerai ancora

Will Be Fine 05:23
lyrics
Wake me up when it's morning and everything will be fine Wake me up when the sun rise high and warm in the sky I kinda miss you now Put me sleep, switch the light off shadow old friend of mine Put me sleep, close the door slow Dreams they won't come alone I kinda miss you all now Baby I'm taking my chance I promise I'll be back but I don't know when Baby Take care of yourself I promise I'll be back but I don't know when

about

“Albanian Paisley Underground” is the debut album by Milano-based band Wemen on Black Candy Records. It's a collection of beautiful rock songs enriched with reggae, punk, grunge, newwave and britpop influences. Ironically titled after a live review, it's unique because unifies genres and subcultures, countries and people. This record shuffles the cards of music biz and has some aces up his sleeve.
