about

A very old one. Kari Huikuri and I took the vocal tracks of an earlier demo and came up with this rough sounding remix that I find more interesting than the original version. I wrote the song when I was around 20 (in 1995 or 1996) and at the time I was extremely into the trip hop sound of Bristol. I remember throwing together some lyrics that to me sounded "cool". Those were the days. -Kalle

lyrics

PRIVATE PARTS

If innocence is over
What have we got to lose?

These are my private parts
This is my brain in a broken jar
This is my flat - let's have a chat - this and that - where it's at
He brought me nothing but pain
These are my private parts
These are my feet dancing in the street
This is my lifeline, a thin line
He brought me nothing but pain, made me take the dive again
Two ways behave, to delay this
One way to obey, to replay this
And you drink as you drive
As I breathe as I die
As we crack as we stop to stay alive

If innocence is over
What have we got to lose?

Knew a guy who hung himself when all the others turned away
Couldn't stand the hidden pressure, couldn't find the other way
And if you know me you know much more than I do
Do people really just walk by the way you do?

These are my private parts
This is my brain in a broken jar

Two ways to behave, to delay this
One way to obey, to replay this
And you drink as you drive
As I breathe as I die
As we crack as we stop to stay alive

If innocence is over
What have we got to lose?

All these programs suck so it's no use to change the channel
Or should I just go and jerk off to the sound of the lighter and the bottle opener
And now they've closed down the store
And my magic carpet ain't working anymore

These are my private parts
This is my brain in a broken jar

about

Kemopetrol Helsinki, Finland

Kemopetrol is a band from Helsinki, Finland. We've been around forever and we're excellent. What you have here is a dive into the vault of our DEMOS. So keep in mind not all the performances or mixes are gold - there's clipping, mispronounced words, etc. The songs themselves are good, I'm curating this shit myself. We're putting everything out here, little by little. Love, Kalle (the songwriter) ... more
