Goldminers 03:27
We are gold miners working in the dark While others rush in the sun We never breathe the air caus' we're underground And that's where we all belong If it's sounds like iron It's the noise of our picks Hitting your dead cold hearts We never see the light caus' we're underground And that's where we all belong Dust covering our tired faces We are coughing out blood Hot, black dust covering our tired faces We are coughing out blood But our hands are shining From the gold we found So we keep on marching in And our eyes are sparkling From the gold we found So we may die digging here

Eyes on the road Hands in red blood Cops in the rear view mirror This highway has no end I wanna know Where did it all go wrong He's digging a hole To burry my body A body that hurt me so much he said This highway has no end I wanna know Where did it all go wrong And a perfect dead body On the passenger seat Make up sliding slowly Makes her face look sweet And this perfect dead body will never hurt me nomore

Can a shadow still be loved Can a memory still be kissed Living eyes can't stop crying But a dead heart never beats I'm here my love, Right here my love I'm here but you don't see me my love Everynight I sit By the fire place Waiting for the flames to die Shadows are dancing on the walls Like we used to do Everynight in that room on the music We would turn till we fall I'm cold my love So cold my love You're missing to my life my love Every night you stare At the fire place You don‘t see I'm standing there Shadows are dancing on the walls Like we used to do Everynight in that room on the music We would turn till we fall Can a shadow still be loved ? Can a memory still be kissed ? Living eyes can't stop crying But a dead heart never beats First time we kissed We both swore That we'd never part We didn't know That death could break our hearts

In That Car 02:37
Back from the start That's where you wanna go With a brand new heart And an innocent soul Behind you the city's getting smaller and smaller And the lines on the road are swallowed faster and faster You can drive as far as you can You'll still be in that car With yourself, your dirty past and no lucky star The road is straight But your life is winding It's damn too late Now The pain is growing Back from the start That's where you wanna go With a brand new heart And an innocent soul You can drive as fast as you can You'll still be in that car With yourself, your dirty past and no lucky star

I'm outlaw they say, I'm outlaw they say But who has made the law ? A law made to protect the kings and the riches Is not a law for me I'm violent they say, I'm violent they say But who said it was peace ? Their peace is a war And my fight is for justice So tell me who is violent

By My Side 03:58
Sirens are screaming in the distance On the road I take evereyday From the factory I work in to the poor outskirts Where I live by your side My girl we needed a new life With a gun I went to the bank I'm back without money and blood on my hands And this blood is not mine Hold me Hold Me Hold me tight Hold my guilty hands Only you made life worth living Stay that last hour by my side From that factory where I spent my young years To the jail where I'll spend the next My life could have been a total waste But you were by my side Hold me, Hold Me, Hold me tight Hold my guilty hands Only you made life worth living Stay that last hour by my side

Chasing Lies 03:31
We walk by the old railroad track High hopes, breaking our backs Our sweat is pouring In our eyes so we can't see at all None of us know how many miles we walked We d'ont know how many are left We can’t see the end We are even to tired to scream That land ? Where is that promised land ? What are we walking for ? Are we chasing lies ? Many tears have been shed So many of us are now dead The horizon's even further than 10 years ago Our faith has been lost a long time ago But we keep on walking in row Pretending to dream Of that promised land we'll never reach That land ? Where is that promised land ? What are we walking for ? Are we chasing lies ? Many tears have been shed So many of us are now dead The horizon's even further than 10 years ago

Junkyard 03:18
The Junkyard I live in Is my dusty realm Car wrecks around me I'm talking to wind That sheet metal kingdom Only haunted by dogs You shouldn't come here Unless you need some drugs Nothing's alive here Everything's wrecked Nothing is worth more here Than the money I make It is not safe here But nowhere really is Everything's wrecked here Like your life surely is That sheet metal kingdom Only haunted by dogs You shouldn't come here Unless you need some drugs

Wherever 04:12
I don't know where I was born Don’t care where I’m gonna die I'm on the run Movement is my future I have no home I don’t know who are my friends I'm ramblin' on my lonelyness I had to go People make me feel I’ll never be one of them Wherever I bring my lonesome blues Is my lonesome home Wherever a tear can touch the ground Is where a new life starts „Ride on, ride on, ride on Ride on to a better place“ People feel great When they see my back Receding on the track I don't know where I was born Don’t care where I’m gonna die I'm on the run Movement is my future I have no home
10.
We met in the mist Of an alcoholized kiss We walk from that day In a restless bliss Your words sometimes bite But our feelings never blights A tender fight Is better than cheating kiss If you kiss me then kiss me twice It’s never enough when it comes to touching you babe If you leave me then you'll kill me twice There are two hearts in my chest Beating just for you From that blur night A dream is in sight Open your eyes We are gone We will break all clocks, And compasses then we'll walk An unknow goal is safer that a boring life

about

Slim Wild Boar Rennes, France

" Un folk blues ténébreux parsemé d’éclats western et rockabilly, qui revendique un son roots et défend sa dimension artisanale et bricolo. Des morceaux qui pourraient être issus du fin fond des Etats-Unis et joués par des allumés qui entretiendraient une tradition ancestrale à grand renfort de voix écorchée, guitares lumineuses et balades crépusculaires " Rock&Folk ... more
