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

about

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
