King 02:04
I wanna be the king jump into a swimming pool I wanna show my muscles and my new tattoo I’m not gonna pay my drinks and if I had to choose my mother would be sold for a pair of handcrafted shoes I wanna be damn rich don’t want to be like you I want a trophy girl with big big boobs and no, I don’t won’t to work I have no skills at all my brain hosts just a neuron but it’s very strong fascist survivor I wanna be the king the V.I.P. on the yacht I wanna be your hashtag next to #sex #bitch #coke I’m not supposed to pay for this god knows I’m white and tough everything is permitted so you better hit the sack I wanna be the king no matter I cannot read no matter I cannot write or even think don’t try to bother me with well-educated talks remember I have muscles and a brave commander in chief fascist survivor Willy beaten to the floor… I wanna be the king a big house on the hill a tiger on a leash hashish and weed on the grill porn-hub on the TV screen my weakness for drag queens I wanna be the one with the biggest dick I wanna be so feared my hands can beat and kill and to preserve my nails I can kick and let blood spill I never look back especially if you’re black I can push my car to the limits like if I was on track no one can punish me I’m the court, the judge the king and for those who say I’m not I’ll be a revengeful god I wanna be the king I wanna be the Lord I wanna be the wolf so I can eat you all tragic survivor

there’s this guy, this buddy you know, a friend of mine he doesn’t give a shit about what other people say he wears clothing that is out of style well but he knows how to smile at night he eats some Nazis then he pours some wine never hesitate when it’s time to say “Hi!” he’s well known around for being one of a kind selfless and contagious here’s what he told me last night you look stressed out what’s wrong? are you fine? I’m not a medicine-man but you better keep in mind you better take it easy babe, take your time take a deep breath and let yourself shine don’t be angry and don’t forget to cry take it easy babe, sleep at night there’s this guy, this buddy you know, a friend of mine he has teeth as white as ivory, kinky hair and big deep eyes ladies say he is magic, men know they’re right he never talks nonsense or about himself last night it was late when he said bye and left the bar It was dark and even darker where he had his car nobody but the moon could see what was going on but the next day a bird came singing this song you way off base, officers what’s wrong? are you blind? I’m not the Devil let me breath and I’ll tell you why you better take it easy babe, take your time take a deep breath and let yourself shine don’t be angry and don’t forget to cry take it easy babe, goodnight “A couple of men found dead by the river”

baby, let me understand. a lot has changed since I was here last time I can barely recognize the place where my throne was now my grave let me show you this old fashioned trick choose a card then pray your Lord or me I bet my eternity you won’t laugh in the end you have no chances, take care how much I love you how much I care once you adored me, once you cared I’ve never pretended to be someone else don’t sacrifice my sense of humor I’m not your lamb, I’m wolf and you know the smell of life it sets my teeth on edge I hear your breathing, wait for your breathlessness no matter when but how my prey I’m here to stay and wait how much I love you how much I care

the rain is gonna fall no matter who you are no matter if you move to the left or move to the right despite you’re smart and learned the house is gonna burn so you better jump off the roof than breakdown the door the wolf among us knows when the time has come to show there’s no place you can hide full moon lights up the sky who needs a reason while the wolf is gonna bite no matter what we know the rain is gonna fall no matter if we move to the left or move to the right even though the eagles fly the rich-man still can’t buy their wings for a ride to west a ride into the wild the wolf among us knows when the time has come to show there’s no place you can hide full moon lights up the sky who needs a reason while the wolf is gonna bite It’s not rocket science you know rain is gonna fall and everyone will be soaked to the skin wet to the bone no matter you’re blonde or bald good-looking, young or old you know the wolf’s been sharping its teeth craving for meat

she’s the queen, she’s the queen of my dreams so I won’t see her for a while she’s the queen, she’s the queen of my dreams so I have to wait until tonight she’s the queen of all queens in the dark glows dressed in white with charming eyes and I’ll wait, yes I’ll wait while my heart burns hope to meet her there tonight and no matter what the other people say you’re still beautiful like the very first day no, no matter what the other people think you’re still the queen and I, I’ll be your king but a king is not king once his army’s gone just a man with his fears and ghosts she’s the queen, she’s the queen of my dreams so I won’t see her for a while she’s the queen, she’s the queen of my dreams so I have to wait until tonight she has the rings knows I’m here where the sun falls and I’ll wait like great wine does with time she’s the queen, bride-taste dream into my arms we’ll we’ll get married like every night and no matter what the other people dream here it’s you, it’s you and me I still remember the first time we kissed I was so trembling and you, you with me but a king is not king once his army’s gone just a man with his fears and ghosts I love you how much I miss you and I’m proud of you I want to say thank you for being the world I belong to If only I could I would dry the tears hanging from your soul don’t be sad, you know our love is real forever and more

about

Songs the wolf... is a collection of stories and reflections about human nature and society.
This is my first non-instrumental album.
Last summer I was inspired by a local blues-hero to pick up my guitar and try the open-tuning. It happened that I came up with some musical ideas and then I decided to write some stories.
When I started the recording sessions my goal was to produce a folk album with just my guitar and voice: a couple of mics and no cuts to capture the live and intimate side of the performances.
Well, this remained but then I decided to build some arrangements and spent some time adding synthesizers, home-made percussions and other instruments.
The title comes from the Cramps masterpiece Songs the Lord thought us and the Latin phrase Homo omini lupus...
