Airing from Kolyma

Free Woman 02:12
We came from out of nothing they said when we were young From the streets of Székesfehérvár off to Magadan We wished we had the wings to fly like the Turul bird And sing to all the Bolsheviks what they had never heard Born a free woman I was born a free woman I was born an orphan and Kolyma was my home That is what they told me and I walked off on my own And when I sank down on my knees to cut my wrists and die Reflected in the river I could see your colors fly Born a free woman I was born a free woman For thirty years they killed us in the concentration camps Like the ghosts of children all too young to understand But one day they called us in and said that we were free For the voice of liberty had spread from Hungary Born a free woman I was born a free woman We saw the traitors hide in university and school A new invasion army the same old foreign rule Defenders of Europe, the hussar and the lance The Turul bird is rising flying leading our advance Born a free woman I was born a free woman Born a free woman I was born a free woman

Early one morning we opened my door And did something I never dared to before We never looked back and never returned My life was a Rubicon bridge that I burned We smoked a fag and went to my car Saw in the mirror the death of a star Minute by minute my life ceased to be And on the freeway there was only me And I kissed your eyelids caressed your white skin Said this is where our new lives begin Me ne frego I drove to the sea where we saw the big blue Under the red sun shimmering through Clouds so fragile they weren't almost there Dancing like spirits with silverwhite hair I took off my clothes and stood there alone Watched the blue waves swallow my clones That worked so hard to hide my old fear That made me a ghost no one could come near And I kissed your eyelids caressed your white skin Said this is where our new lives begin Me ne frego I looked in your eyes and said “now it's done What so many ended has finally begun My life is on fire it burns with a flame I long had forgotten rejected my name” And when the moon rose above the high ground I saw in the palm of my hand looking down The lines I could trace back to where I belong And said to myself I must right what is wrong And I kissed your eyelids caressed your white skin Said this is where our new lives begin Me ne frego Now we sit under the open night skies Wrinkles around your wonderblue eyes And sometimes I think back to that early dawn At the big blue when I was reborn And I kissed your eyelids caressed your white skin Said this is where our new lives begin And I kissed your eyelids caressed your white skin Said this is where our new lives begin

And she walked cross the field By the church of St George And the wind was as warm as the day But the moon was so cold Far away like the day And the green grass led her away To the docks on the rocks She laid down like she had All her seven summers but tonight Just a girl without a name Just another "woman" slain That longed to be mother and wife But the "child", 33 Who just loved liberty Took poor young Mary-Anne’s life She was gone and the long Night would not ever end And there would never shine down any light And they found her next day Naked in the grass And her eyes could not see anymore Raped and murdered, Mary-Anne And the anger they felt In the neighborhood sealed every door Just a girl without a name Just another "woman" slain That longed to be mother and wife But the "child", 33 Who just loved liberty Took poor young Mary-Anne’s life In the papers they read ”We all need to calm down” ”He’s a good boy”, ”anger is so bad” Media they covered up The entire story After all it was just one more dead Someone from the government Talked about compassion And ”this boy has seen a lot of pain” But compassion is a bitch When he finished speaking Someone put a bullet in his brain Just a girl without a name Just another "woman" slain That longed to be mother and wife But the "child", 33 Who just loved misery Took poor young Mary-Anne’s life Took poor young Mary-Anne’s life Took poor young Mary-Anne’s life

A touch he would never regret He felt that day in june At the door when she gave him a kiss Skin soft like a feather Touched his fragile lips And he felt the soft collision of their tongues Her arms His skin Nothing between Just love at first sight Summer came to split them One month is eternity For two that want to be one Every time he closed his eyes She was close to him And he sucked her fragrance into his lungs Her arms His skin Nothing between Just love at first sight Union day was close But seemed more far away For every day it wouldn’t come She sent him a postcard From far far away And he knew a new life had begun Her arms His skin Nothing between Just love at first sight Her arms His skin Nothing between Just love at first sight Just love at first sight

Alpha Dog 01:45
Rolling down the freeway guided by a star
 Heading for tomorrow the trucker and the bar
 See the morning sunshine the crescent cross the bay We built this road and baby we are here to stay

 Staying in a motel eating sloppy food
 Staying up til daybreak cos I'm in the mood
 Hit the gas and move your ass or there'll be hell to pay 
We built this road and baby we are here to stay

 My will be done for God is gone and we were born to fight
 We built this land from dust and sand and baby it's our right 

The crimson fields of flowers the factories and smoke
 The coastline and the cities a burger and a coke
 Got the highway fever and I am on my way 
We built this road and baby we are here to stay 

Turn me on at midnight and I will turn the wheel
 This girl is made of chrome and sex and got a mind of steel 
Smell the rubber burning and honey make my day
 We built this road and baby we are here to stay 

My will be done for God is gone and we were born to fight 
We built this land from dust and sand and baby it's our right 

My will be done for God is gone and we were born to fight 
We built this land from dust and sand and baby it's our right

about

Lilou & John’s sixth release and third EP, was recorded from April to May 2018 and was made to move away from the punk rock sound of Patriot Child to an acoustic sound reminding of Dissidentica but with more focus on pop melody and voice. Lilou & John let the backbeat guitar move to the background to put emphasis on vocals and lyrics. The idea of the album is to move beyond mainstream and present a new kind of guitar-based pop as well as presenting a few love songs for the outside-the-box music gourmet.
