I try to keep the course, 'cause I wanna feel myself wave goodbye to your wise advice  I don't need your help gonna lace up my shoe's have a shower with glue eat a fluffy marshmallow pie oh it tastes so good and I don't know why I don't know, what to do dullness kills, exploited me but I don't wanna follow your rules I am not your man although it's hard for me but I don't know, what to do

Trashman 04:12
a black old muzzled creature, a leader of deadbeats uh look out, if you are alone in the streets what they dump is gold to him  gotta gotta gotta move on trash man, it's not a sin spice your trash  don't pay cash  take a nail, and make it fast scrape the rust  free your lust it's a trash man's collateral would you be so kind to show me the creature?  uh, the world should be more like you  slipping, creeping, crawling this is how he moves  trash man, listen to what he says

Firefly 04:35
put on your glasses of joy you blinded happy boy  you little boy  and sink down in your bubble, without an issue or trouble  pull the blanket over your head, you little snugly cat  you little cat 'cause you just eat the sweets, don't have anything to reach your belly is getting heavy, like a swollen mouldy cherry  and you are like a firefly in a world, where people die and cry  it's easy don't think about it you blinded happy boy  you little boy  and sink down in your bubble, without an issue or trouble

Aidsong 03:43
let me shoot  let me fight  let me turn my head again  for the night, to commit an atrocity  got a gun  got a knife  got an evil mask  running wild, as an evil genius of a man  wanna guard the people  headed for hell  wanna kill the others  I have to patch another hole, again another hole in the save-the-people-plan
6.
Companion 04:36
I am your lovely and trusty companion  I am your lovely trusty companion  let's blow off idiots that get in our way  we don't give them a chance  and its so much fun, to be annoyed together  no one is gonna take your pride for sure  no one is gonna make your thoughts impure  no one  you are my lovely and trusty companion  'cause I am not always my steady companion let us find a meadow and give us time to be  let all the seedlings grow  and its so much fun to see them growing freely
7.
Deamons 05:00
many maggots in your head  you're their host and you make friends  many cadgers stick to you  they are masked but always cruel  now they get inside and play with your thoughts  now they get inside almost  hate, bad prayers, looking for sheep  on a slimy, slippery way, they crawl along  they crawl to you  love and helping hands will break their lies  marching boots and uniforms  no more fun  everything is blazing  swing, swing, don't let them sing  don't let them take over you  more food, more fears, more energy let them bleed and face them  swing, swing, don't let them sing  don't let them take over you 
8.
I avoid to melt into tears  they told me to be strong  you, you look inside of me  it feels strange, it feels wrong  my whole life I denied myself  now I am close to death  I spoke a lot, but didn't say anything and it bleeds me  I am not the one, who's breaking the spell  I know that's easy to say  It's not your fault, that I can't be free,  'cause nobody wants to hear  nobody spends a tear  nobody wants  nobody wants  nobody 
9.
The Sea 04:19
as I went down to the sea, just to see the water smiling at me  got to focus on my dreams  as I went down to the street, just so see the people walking around  just to get lost in a dream  getting lost in a dream  diving, sinking, passing out  as I went down to the street, just so see the people walking around  Getting lost in a dream  Getting lost in a dream diving, sinking, passing out

about

Future Prawn - Glam from the Garage

Slackers, punkers, glam rockers and psychedelic nerds don't often stroll down the street together - and certainly not to the same bar. Be it boredom, heartbreak, an empty fridge or just the great weather - something drove them outside today to play blue on "A Day At Promenade". The first solo album by Potsdam multi-instrumentalist and crustacean utopian Martin Mann (long active with the prog band Eat Ghosts), is like best people watching from the corner café: A panorama of characters made sound, sometimes spleeing, sometimes casual, sometimes glamorous, as if the Lemon Twigs and Ty Segall were ordering a crab cocktail together. As Future Prawn, Mann has gathered some of his favourite musicians around him, spent a long time tweaking the songs and bundled his musical experiences into an album that flickers, grooves and surprises at every turn. "A Day At Promenade" is buzzing with eardrum-ripping ideas: Lost West Coast guitars bang across the beach, synthesizers bubble like lava lamps in space and ripped-off breaks reach for earworm riffs with cream on top. Mann poaches in a cheerful DIY manner through all styles whose endorphin release potential has been scientifically proven, and does the only right thing with it: love them very much, pour them into crisp songs and sprinkle them with a neat spade tip of shrimp glitter at the end.
