lyrics

Meaningful meaninglessness, yes
Careful carelessness, yes
Forgetful unforgettableness, yes
Purposeful purposelessness, yes

You tell me, my dear
Why a toilet flushes the other way around
In the Southern Hemisphere
And it doesn’t matter which way it swirls around
When a waste disappears
It’s like us speaking in the different language
Isn’t it?

You blow my mind, teddy bear
How romantic exactly pointing to the stars Altair
Hardly I can tell
Zillions of shiny diamonds are up there
It’s like us trying to pick out the right word
Isn't It?

Meaningful meaninglessness, yes
Careful carelessness, yes
Forgetful unforgettableness, yes
Purposeful purposelessness, yes

NO
by Boris

supported by 26 fans who also own “Son Of Altair”

Floor-to-ceiling Boris ragers! It’s like they looked back on songs like Statement and Woman On the Screen and said “let’s do a whole album like that!” Most of these tracks don’t even pass 3 minutes! Zerkalo holds up the middle with some anguished doom. In the end, *NO* is as strong and declarative as it’s title. Brian Parker
