Black (and Green and Red)
Some old friends told me that women with big legs can make guys like me cry
(Guys like you they make cry)
Big leg Emma, she was my steady date, used to knock me out
(Big leg Emma, she knocked out)
No money, with my car she flew away
(Dreams of you through your head
She flew away with your car)
Can you keep away from me?
No I can't, can't stand still
(No you can't)
My green eyes are burning red,
Dreams of youth through my head
You don't need a car to love, my big legs are enough
(Spent my money, took my car, started telling her friends she's gonna be a star)
You don't need a car to love
(Eyes that shine burning red, dreams of youth all through my head)
My green eyes are burning red
(Hey hey baby when you walk that way watch your honey drip can't keep away)
Can you keep away from me?
Hey hey mama, said the way you move gonna make you sweat gonna make you groove.

Awkward
No,
-she said-
don't waste what you have,
Don't you see you're a lucky guy?
It would be a great mistake.
Yes,
I think she was right,
But then she disappeared,
Never called me back.
I guess
Things like this
Always happen
To people like me,
I'm so
Awkward
I'm a lucky guy,
I'm a lucky guy,
It would be a great mistake.
But then she disappeared,
She never called me back,
I think the reason of all this is that I'm so
Awkward

In a Black Key
In a black
In a black key
I found a tune and then
I thought the key could (why not?) Be blue
Could the black key
Become blue?
Could it?
Yeah, why not?
Blue
Could the key?
Yeah, it could
In fact it can
It
the key Be Blue
Make a black key blue
Unlock don't block the tune
No don't block it
When a different hue
Hangs halfway between your heart and soul No don't block it
Turn the key of the tune
Blue black bold flat what you want
No don't block it
Black or blue, could you
Unlock the black and blue?
Go, unlock it
Go, unlock, get the black tune blue
Go, get the black key blue
Unlock your tune, detune
Black key blue
(Make a black key blue)
In a black key I found I could turn the tune to something blue
School years
Just a lot of things you didn't realize You'd miss 'em
And think about 'em year after year It's yesterday but a lifetime ago
Is it nostalgia or desire?
That funny friend of yours
You didn't realize how shiny
Her curly black hair was
You never expected
She'd hunt your dreams for years Many years, she would
Hunt your dreams with her kiss
For many years

The Things That Change
Sitting on a sofa
A gloomy rain outside
The smell of that book tells you
That there's a story you didn't expect
The story of a moment
Returning as if it was the same
But it's never the same
As you change, things change
And the universe is movement as you're
Sitting on a sofa
A gloomy rain outside
A gloomy rain
The things that change
All the time changes all around us
and within ourselves

Sweet Sixteen
Sweet sixteen
In some ten years
you will worry about...
(Guess what?)
Sweet sixteen
In some ten years
(Or maybe sooner)
you will worry about
Your retirement plan
Sweet sixteen
Play the high school rebel while it's worth:
Now your mum's a whore, now your dad's a fascist,
But in ten years or maybe sooner
You'll follow their good example
(And it goes) Blacks are smelly
Russians vicious
And Chinese are all suspicious
Where are we going this summer
I wanna see my boss dead
All those fucking politicians
raised the price of my hair lotion
How can I buy a sports car and still go to the Seychelles?
Sweet sixteen in some years
You will happily give in
Sweet sixteen
In some ten years
(Or maybe sooner)
Nothing will compare to a wedding in the church

...and...
Blood and glass,
Sugar cubes,
Cold beans,
Mmm... There's a
Smile on Mars's surface
Near the ruins of the giant clock
And a blue man
Watching Earth dying
Smile is on my chest:
Smile stained with blood,
And I lie on the ground
Cold and dead
Also there's a masked man
Searching for the truth,
And ready to kill for it;
And there are cold beans
And blood, sugar cubes
And glass, broken hearts
Awkward people
And
A town
And a time that no one understands
And they watch over you,
As if they knew
And
A sugar cube
And cold beans
And
Broken glass

That dog which never barks?
Traveling through space,
Saving all its race?
Are you that dog?
That giant sad bulldog
Looming in the mist?

Car, Suburbs, Downtown, Despair
Under sedation
(Drive downtown)
We cannot perceive
(Drive downtown)
Our ugly despair
Take a look there,
the dirt,
the rubbish
and scattered garbage
Along the road,
watch posters worn
and ugly
mournful buildings
But you can't watch
you're driving to town,
the beautiful town
A beautiful town
I must love my town
I can't hate my town
It's big and well known
It's inside my soul
We live in dirty frames we can't see
(And let me tell you the rest)
And the artwork isn't any better,
no it's not at all so good
Driving downtown
I'm driving downtown watching the road
You choke me to death and it's your fault
I'm driving downtown
You choke me to death: it's your fault
Choke me downtown
Choke
Me
Dead
Drive
Me
Mad
Downtown
Drive me downtown dead
Take a look: despair is everywhere
(Suburbs became our soul)
But we just keep on diving on our own way
Garbage: it's part of the landscape
As are the posters and the buildings
Along the road
Let me drive my car,
Yes my car because I'm going downtown
My car
Let me drive my car I got to go to town
Suburbs became our soul

A Waiting Game of Nonsense
Patch pan pie tie cymbal
Random Thoughts
and
Dare to try, cry baby
White mysterious fog
a
Noise poise toys Joyce Melville
Proust Prost cheers
well
Now talk fruits: pear cherry
Complete nonsense
Steak haché croque monsieur
ça fait chier quoi!
Don't speak French, hear the vibes!
Ah ah
What was that? A choir?
S A T B Piano
And then an ugly chord
Singing songs my dear friends is a blessing, my life
A refrain, an odd verse and some background vocals
Now let the guy sing something new
Until the next idea comes through (sure!)
I try and try to say something that would sound sagacious
But as I open my mouth it speaks nonsense
Had no idea about the meaning of the lyrics
And as you noticed I'm playing for time
A waiting game, it's just a waiting game of nonsense
Back with our nonsense
Did you miss it?
Well
Here it comes
(Choral parenthetic moment)
Teapots fly bye Zero
Big black cow
and
Dental floss Frank Alan
Green mysterious swamp
Pepper milk gin tonic
Angostura
See feel touch hear Tommy
Complete nonsense
Di a da in con su
Per tra fra
COSÌ!
Polyglots shush, shut up!
Ah ah
Once again? The choir?
Pa pa pa da da da
Pa pa pa pa pa pa
Da dadada
Da dadada
Well then
Guess you had enough now, isn't it?
Maybe we can just give up this nonsense
Even think about a new theme, with
words that could be understood as common sense
Rather than a bunch of silly talks
We could tell you stories, legends and romance
We're not playing for time again but our
Stories, legends and romances surely need
their good foreword, but we finished our
time

Loomings Strasbourg, France
Loomings is a one of a kind musical universe of mingled voices and percussions, acoustic and electronic sounds. Our songs follow unpredictable paths: sometimes they emerge from complex compositional strategies, sometimes they’re just driven by the desire to walk through harmonies, vocal arabesques, instrumental unisons and phases. ... more
If you like Loomings, you may also like:

Such a powerful record. I love how each song builds to a crescendo. My only complaint is that each song is too short.

Darker and heavier than anything the studio ever produced, there is a tremendous weight to these recordings. Kevin Ayers sounds great on "A Certain Kind" though occasionally the vocals are difficult to make out on some of the other tracks. Worth a listen for sure.
