lyrics

Tom is an accountant at the age of 42
He lives with his family close to the avenue
Still he needs an hour to his job, what can you do?
Drinking keeps him happy, though his wife does not approve
He doesn’t beat her, nothing, he just stares at the tv
His wife gets screwed regularly; he just lets her be
You could call him jaded, but every now and then
Those pesky, darn emotions come, he wants to talk again

As he looks for his mother, but she’s away
He looks for his father, but he’s away
He looks for his friends, but they are away
He looks for his senses, but they are gone

Tom is earning well, but doesn’t know what to spend it for
His wife and kids have left him she said Tom, he is no more
This shell now, that he left me, I can’t love, I won’t pretend
He’s glad, ‘cause alimonies count to spending in the end
“I might just see a shrink”, he thinks, “those doctors cost as well”
And everyone says: “If I was you, I’d think, I am in hell”
Doctor says: “Alienation is a problem quite severe”
But Tom remembers what he found when he needed an ear

As he looked for his mother, but she was away
He looked for his father, but he was away
He looked for his friends, but they were away
He looked for his senses, but they were away
He looks for his daughter, but she’s away
He looks for his brother, but he’s away
He looks for his friends, but they are away
He looks for his senses, but they are gone

Ten times the effort, nine times the fun

Zooflirkus Berlin, Germany

The Berlin-based odd rock band Zooflirkus pondered at the beginning of 2020 about how to create music that you like, even though you don’t want to. Weird instruments paired with weird vocals about the wonderfully contradictory nature of humanity and its abysses are served on a blotted silver platter. Fun for the whole broken family! ... more
