Jerry's Tango 04:04
lyrics

Jerry, welcome Make yourself at home Once you’ve become human you’ll be gone Gone into the masses Blent into the crowd (1-2-3-4) Countdown has been done There’s no way back Our vows, your sins, airborne So lay back Far, your goal is far away There, into the light Cold, invincible & unconstrained You try to be your hero The author of the play Never give up on your faith in lies ‘cause they’re the kind of stories Where heroes never die

Stakes 03:18
lyrics

A fancy dashboard in a limousine A mash for papers and for magazines A cheap alternative for gasoline A cupboard or a closet or a small-value deposit or… A pool house in a fancy neighbourhood A poplar in an oak and maple wood A totem pole on the spot where you stood A toy for little children when parents think environmental Ooh Jerry – what will you become When the stakes are away When the stakes are away Ooh tell me, when the play is done ‘bout the roles you’ve been playing All the roles you’ve been playing A soundbox of a western twelve-string A little box to hide a wedding ring A box to store just about everything A car a pool a garden and a driveway with a warden and… Too many problems on my travel bag Too many problems on my travel bag Too many colors on my battle flag Too many colors on my battle flag Two holiday a year, one’s just to brag Two holiday a year, one’s just to brag I don’t know where to put it I don’t know where to put it all It’s not about how far you reach but it’s about where your roots are It’s not about how your leaves and your log could expand It’s about what lies beneath, about your wounds and your bark-scars ‘cause you know where it began might as well be where it ends Ooh Jerry – what will you become When the stakes are away When the stakes are away Ooh tell me, when the play is done ‘bout the roles you’ve been playing All the roles you’ve been playing Ooh Jerry A soundbox of a western twelve-string What will you become A little box to hide a wedding ring When the stakes are away A box to store just about everything When the stakes are away A car a pool a garden and a driveway with a warden and… Too many problems on my travel bag Too many Choices can't be wrong Too many colors on my battle flag Two holiday a year, one’s just to brag When you're making your play I don’t know where to put it I don’t know where to put it all

Trout 03:21
lyrics

If I could turn back the time Turn back the time I’d go real far I’d live another life Make another rhyme Another scar But still we are Eventually flowing to the same old sea We’ll see us again while feeding the same old tree We’ll shape up the clouds We’ll make sure the rain comes down To clean the sheet To make circles complete If I were a trout I’d let me go Without any doubt I’d quickly run out of food But what if so I’m in the flow and… The flow never stops The future will come to me If it ever does I would never end up here ‘cause we are the clouds The sky and the mountains high The start, the end, is in our own hands… So keep on going Keep on flowing Keep on swimming Keep on singing Keep on drifting Keep on lifting me up! Keep on eating Keep on drinking The flow never stops Keep on beating Keep on thinking The future will come Keep on fucking Keep on rocking me, oh! Come to me Keep on going Keep on flowing If it ever does Keep on swimming Keep on singing I would never end Keep on drifting Keep on lifting me up! End up here Keep on eating Keep on drinking The flow never stops Keep on beating Keep on thinking The future will come Keep on fucking Keep on rocking me, oh! Come to me If it ever does I would never end, end up here

Wood for the Trees 04:19
lyrics

I am the farmer in the fable I’m always harvesting the truth And I decide what’s on the table How to look back at my own youth I am the hero in the epic A self-proclaimed renaissance-guy Most of my statements are prophetic And I know what went wrong and why Providence give me Truth and clarity Is there more To explore More wood for the trees Now as the years go by they’re growing All the branches north and south The foliage caught in shining armour Until the autumn bold and proud What I have done to what’s beneath me Not only fills my heart with grief It makes the treetop grow less easy It makes it hard to hold its leaves Providence give me Truth and clarity Is there more To explore More wood for the trees Providence give me Truth and clarity Is there more To explore More wood for the trees

Is It Now? 04:09
lyrics

Is it now we are present? Is it now we should go on? Is it now we’re on a dead end? Is it now like in ‘now it’s gone’? Is it now that it will pay off? All the vows ever made? There’s a time I will lay those Weapons down Anyhow Is it now The current future? Is it now The simple past? Is it now or is it sooner? We will see things never last Yeah, I know Times are changing You can say that again! Save me from the day Spare me my decay Are we almost there or mere halfway? Is it now we pull conclusions? Is it all that I had got? Is it now? Is an illusion? Is it now I take a shot? Save me from the day Spare me my decay Are we almost there or mere halfway? Does it snow? Save me from the day Is it raining? It will turn It will turn Does it snow? Spare me my decay Is it raining? It will turn It will turn Does it snow? Are we almost there or mere halfway? Is it raining? It will turn It will turn

Mirror 03:36
lyrics

Mirror on the wall Tell me can you see What’s inside of me? Hero, all in all Your utility Is not what it should be Maybe heading for a fall My brains don’t know what my hands are making Eventually for a fall My view is dim and my skin is breaking Decisively for a fall Run out of time and my head is shaking Definitely for a fall Seems like this room has become a waiting hall Widow Standing small Will you be all right Now I’ve lost the fight Windows in the wall Mountains and the sea Mountains and the sea Opportunities Maybe heading for a fall My brains don’t know what my hands are making Eventually for a fall My view is dim and my skin is breaking Decisively for a fall Run out of time and my head is shaking Definitely for a fall Seems like this room has become a waiting hall

about

Jerry's Tango image

Jerry's Tango Londerzeel, Belgium

Joeri Cnapelinckx and Tom Daenens recorded the songs in Joeri's garden shed; the result is the EP “Jerry's Tango”: six songs that span the course of a life. As Joeri likes to do it, everything glides over atmospheric carpets of sound. As Tom likes to do it, it’s metaphors abound: Jerry; that's a tree, that's god, that's a trout, that's you, that's me. ... more
