Verse:
wrong times to be at the wrong place
hard times to work at your own pace
now the times they are not changing
bad times to bet on hope
strange times for singing songs
they say i shouldn't even trust you
come on show me some strength boy
prove you got brains...gotta show you are worthy
faster, you better grow some balls
where are you guts? aren't you ready for everything?
Chorus:
don't make me keep trying but you'll feel like running on quicksand
Verse:
i know you got your own maze
been running your own rat race
these times are not your ol' good ones
things just got out of control
once you took care of your own
but who will take care of you old man?
come on show some strength
prove you still can...gotta show you ain't useless
faster, show everyone who knows best
what about those guts? aren't you ready for everything?
Chorus:
don't make me keep trying but it feels like running on quicksand
Chorus:
won't make me keep trying but you're only drowning, drowning, drowning...

Scratched Record

Chorus:
you say that i said, i say that you did and then it's all about who started it first
aren't we both fed up of arguing about the same thing
sounds like a scratched record, sounds like a scratched record, sounds like a scratched record to me
you say that i said, i say that you did and then it's all about who started it first
aren't we both fed up of arguing about the same thing
sounds like, sounds like, sounds like, sounds like
Verse:
well, i guess it's over or maybe we should climb another hill?
i feel mistreated like a dog and i almost blame you for being born
a road leading us nowhere
cause babe you are an angel when you sleep
but the moment you wake up you become my nemesis
i pretend to be no saint
when it's granted that it's me the one who's driving you insane
when it's granted that it's me the one who's driving you insane
Chorus:
you say that i said, i say that you did and then it's all about who started it first
aren't we both fed up of arguing about the same thing
sounds like a scratched record, sounds like a scratched record, sounds like a scratched record to me
you say that i said, i say that you did and then it's all about who started it first
aren't we both fed up of arguing about the same thing
sounds like, sounds like, sounds like, sounds like
Verse:
yes, the grass was greener...remember how we couldn't help ourselves?
back then we used to dance both living in our trance...why didn't we scratch that record?
i know. You're as lost as i am, again wondering if it's worth another round
we both know that we were no saints
and we also know it's ourselves the ones who are driving us insane
and we also know it's ourselves the ones who are driving us insane
Chorus:
you say that i said, i say that you did and then it's all about who started it first
aren't we both fed up of arguing about the same thing
sounds like, sounds like, sounds like, sounds like
you say that i said, i say that you did and then it's all about who started it first
aren't we both fed up of arguing about the same thing
sounds like a scratched record, sounds like a scratched record, sounds like a scratched record

Pink Ferrari

Verse:
little blackhaired girl
was she nice to the old man
as a part of her plan ?
was she spying as a lady ?
was her life some kind of shady ?
pretty indian woman
what was she heading for
doubleagent in the war ?
was she working as a spy ?
was her nature sort of shy ?
are this the right things to ask
to get not behind but inside the mask ?
Chorus:
her name was mata hari, and all she wanted was to drive a pink ferrari
drive, drive, drive, drive, drive
her name was mata hari, and all she wanted was to drive a pink ferrari
drive, drive, drive, drive, drive
drive, drive, drive, drive, drive
Verse:
her tender, luscious moves
were stimulating for the brain
driving men insane
were there any secret plans
in the expression of her dance ?
neither big fiery eyes
nor a precious face
kept her from falling in disgrace
but should the beauty of a muse
be the reason for abuse ?
are this the right things to ask
to get not behind but inside the mask ?
Chorus:
her name was mata hari, and all she wanted was to drive a pink ferrari
drive, drive, drive, drive, drive
her name was mata hari, and all she wanted was to drive a pink ferrari
drive, drive, drive, drive, drive
drive, drive, drive, drive, drive
To die, to sleep, to pass into nothingness, what does it matter? Everything is an illusion
Verse:
agent H 21
was her life a lie
overrated master spy ?
is it allowed to build a scheme
when you only wish to dream ?
are this the right things to ask
to get not behind but inside the mask ?
Chorus:
her name was mata hari, and all she wanted was to drive a pink ferrari
drive, drive, drive, drive, drive
her name was mata hari, and all she wanted was to drive a pink ferrari
drive, drive, drive, drive, drive
drive, drive, drive, drive, drive
drive, drive, drive, drive, drive

Flesh & Bones

|
Verse:
born from mystery
some kind of unique
legends that last forever
soon enough we all learn the names
'bout their notorious fames
ever to be remembered
just been digging deep enough
trying to understand
what my mind's been feeding of
only want to know
only need to...
know how much is true
from what we've learned about you
am i not to question?
divine graces
made out of flesh and bones
like are women and men
shepherds of mankind s
upreme breed
trusted lights in the dark
how much do we need you?
we are so lost and confused
am i not to question?
Chorus:
should i close my eyes
and return to sleep?
turn both truth and lies
into one same thing
Verse:
excuse me sir
i want no trouble here
don't wanna bother you
only want to know
will you let me...
know how much is true
from what we've learned from you
am i not to question?
Chorus:
should i close my eyes
and return to sleep?
return to sleep, go back to sleep

SLINGSHOT Vienna, Austria
The sound of the viennese band Slingshot shows the great bond of the four musicians to the RockMusic of the 70ties and 90ties. „Solid Stoner Rock with lightly progressive elements“ (Strombringer), but also facets from Psychedelic Rock, Blues and Grunge can be found in their compositions. ... more

This album is just perfect in a minimalistic sense. There's nothing you could take away from it without making it worse and nothing to add that would make it better. 10/10

A great album from a great band, this one is a bit more straight up hard rock than the more psychedelic later albums.
