(I hear)
They have promises
And happy endings
In the land of connoisseurs
Ain‘t no offending
The Enlightened Ones
When you go into that place (it)
Spins you ‘round and
Spits you out when you‘re done
(You)
Praise the rural life
Despite the fact you think it‘s trife
Got your big city life
Cash, power and a trophy wife
But I‘m sure you know what‘s good for me
When you go into that place (it)
Spins you ‘round and
Spits you out when you‘re done

Don't Tell Anyone

I‘m on a cruiseship to heaven
With shore leave in hell
Called a friend, told him ‘Come see me‘
Left him drowning in the well
So what‘s the point of it all
If there‘s no point at all?
Smartphones and Twitter...
Cocaine for the dumb?
Oh, I beg you,
Don‘t let your friends miss out on your fun!
But what‘s the point of it all
If there‘s no point at all?
Maybe I‘d listen to you
Just once in a while
If you didn‘t tell the punchline before you‘ve told the joke
Maybe I‘d listen to you
Just once in a while

Having a smoke
Standing on the corner
The rain‘s pouring down
The front porch is my retreat
Watching a dog having a piss
It‘s slowly getting colder
My lighter ain‘t working right
Some old drunk tumbling into the night
Ready to hit the road
Just a couple of steps
And he‘s a shadow with a coat
Toss my cigarette on the wet street
Ready to go in
A car‘s passing by
I‘m soaked to the skin
My bones are cold, I‘m shivering
The dead stare in your eyes is kind of cool
(Necrophiliac feelings for you)
(You make me think of crazy things I like to do)

Bonnie & Clyde

I was standing there
Watching a deal go wrong
With my heart in my hand
And a hole in my head
Policemen strutting by
In their black and blue uniforms
And I turned my head
And watched them go
So I got in my car
And I just drove
Drove on by
Through the desert in my mind
And I remember
How she always smoked
Her unfiltered camels
Used to burn holes in her sheets

I‘m sorry but you‘ll have to wait
‘Til I turn this screw back in
You‘d like to run away but that‘s a foul trade
I guess you‘ll just have to wait
You‘re dancing with the devil
He leads you follow
Just leave it be
There‘s nothing to see
Just feel the
Feeling inside
See, now the tables have turned
My deed is done, what‘s done is done, meeting adjourned
I saw Jesus walking on a tightrope today
So you ain‘t gonna shock me baby, no way
You‘re dancing with the devil
He leads you follow
Just leave it be
There‘s nothing to see
Just feel the
Feeling inside

Hero Out Of Business
03:00

You‘re everywhere
I can run but I can‘t hide
You‘re the big bad wolf
With pockets full of cash
And they might think they‘re clever
And they might think they‘ve got their hands on the lever
But you‘ve been leading this dance
All along
Where‘s your enemy?
Where‘s the knight in shining armor?
Every hero needs a villain
Or he‘s a hero out of business
And they might think they‘re clever
And they might think they‘ve got their hands on the lever
But you‘ve been leading this dance
All along
Don‘t be scared
We will all survive

She won‘t take up much
Of your precious time
I saw her on a billboard
On the edge of town
I don‘t remember what she was trying to sell
She is your godess
And your whore
She‘s looking down upon us
She looks to you for more
You know her wishes almost always come true
You wish and worship her
Like a nun
She spits in your face
And your having fun
You like her cause she
Never judges you
The Immaculate Misconception

His name was Joseph
He was a preacher
He left the boat
To tell the others that
Nothing could save them
But the grace of god
And the men killed joseph
Left him there to rot
The men went on
Looking for the truth
Met a gypsy woman
At the side of the road
She told them to go
To where they all would find
Peace and absolution
Up in the mountains high
So the men struggled through
To the highest tops
Past the darkest valleys
And the coldest drops
Still they hadn‘t found
What they were looking for
Watched each other starve
Racing for more
When they reached the summit
All hell broke loose
Flames came bursting
Like a burning noose
They knew they‘d die
At least those who were left
But no one cried
As the mountain cleft

The Wretched Ones

I can‘t blame no one
For the pleasures of which I‘ve grown fond
I‘m the lucky one
The incredibly fortunate son
And the sun is watching
The wretched ones
And I‘ve got
My life
Under control
And I‘ve got
My life
If nothing else
You can‘t blame your son
For all the things you‘ve done
Can‘t blame no one
For the things that you wish you‘d done
And the sun is watching
The wretched ones
And I‘ve got
My life
Under control
And I‘ve got
My life
If nothing else

What‘s the story my dear?
Is it the sun that you fear?
But I dare you to give in
Let the light take you in
The enticing darkness of sin
Will drown everything;
An absence of light
Makes for the darkest shades of white
Give in...
We make the law
You break the law
We make you
You break us
We break you
You make us

Eric Arikan Ulm, Germany
Music for the masses. Sorta, kinda.
Eric Arikan recommends:
Nightsessions VOL.IV
by Pub Čerenkov
Great band from Ulm, Germany. Beautiful, drugged out, spaced out, psychedelic sounds.
go to albumIf you like Eric Arikan, you may also like:
supported by 6 fans who also own “The Ship”
This the bands second release based on a tale of a kingdom that has fallen on dark times.Still stoner but longer song as stated more proggish jams. I have to say these are some great tunes. I will not say one release is better than the other. Fantastic.Damn shame that it seems the band is no longer togeather.

Zigurat

Fucking love the hoof. Met them in boscombe really nice blokes, thanks for all the signed merch. Cant recommend these guys enough, every album is brilliant. Cant wait to see you guys again.

My favourite Dublin band. Heavy as a mountain but so much more than that. They'll beat your face in with unrepentant doom riffs then change tempos and styles into a blues/jazz jam then return to their heavy psychedelic doom grooves when you least expect it. Sublime.

Lowdown Ways
by DADDY LONG LEGS
The NYC trio push their blown-out garage-blues sound into new territory, on both reinterpreted classics and originals.

Outlandish Poetica
by Jonathan Something
An almost anti-blues/anti-rock style that masters classic sounds while mocking the industry’s perceived seriousness.
