A MAGIC EGG FROM WIZ-OWL
February-April ‘99, by Jack Cat

U’ve found a Magic Egg / told Wiz-Owl (to) Little Duck 			Am F/Am F
(now u can) look through the window /get nice flash from dark		Am F/ Am F
(‘cause) its useless being determined / if u’re not close enough		Am F/ Am F
ya’ it’s useless peel the apple / if u cannot chew the pulp			Am G / F
yet I find it so hard / fixin’ the point / get in wireless mode /or checkin’ a choice      C G / F G
when u Mother of Will / stand right by me / chicken in sky / in  this wonderful nite C G / FG
written for soul / written as food						Am G / Am G
written to shape the Magic Egg for the fool					Am 	G  F

Someday you’ll bring me fever / is there anything to loose ?
will I reach Enoshima / as a damn’d crying goose ?
will you bring me the light ? / will you bring me the morn’ ?
oh u Little Duck / when will u clear my storm ?
‘cause how much beauty / can u store without bend /while crossin’ a railway / with a guitar at hand
when the moonlite gets sunshine / explodin’ bright / me chicken in sky / in  this wonderful nite
written for soul / written as food / written to shape the Magic Egg for the fool

Now u’re getting old and wise / told Wiz-Owl (to) Little Duck
u’ve seen that Magic Egg / looks gold but is plain dust
u mite get it for free / it mite relieve your flu 
don’t trust it too much / it will burn your plumes
‘cause I find it so hard / stopping the game / breaking the door / or dampin’ the flame
when shadow of stars /paints your silk lips / me chicken in sky / in  this wonderful nite
written for soul / written as food / written to shape the Magic Egg for the fool</description>

A FLY IN THE SOUP
by Jack Cat
December 1997

Steppin’ in the shadow				E
waitin’ in the nite
swimming in the river
walkin’ down the line
like a fly in the soup				A
just like yesterday’ s smile			A		E
like a fly in the soup				A
just like yesterday’ s smile			A		E
feelin’ as a worm on a hook			G	A7	E
yes I feel like a worm on your hook  		G	A7	E
feelin’ as a worm on a hook			G	A7	E
yes I feel like a worm on your hook  		G	A7	E


spinking in the sky
dancin’ with the wind
as a sparklin’ lite
fallin’ down the hill
watch your steps babe
don’t be a fly in my soup
watch your steps babe
don’t be a fly in my soup
looking as a worm on a hook
yes ya’ look as a worm on my hook
looking as a worm on a hook
yes ya’ look as a worm on my hook</description>

<title>A yuppie must behave</title>
<link>http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/3795.html</link>
<description>words by Marnie and Jack Cat, music by Jack Cat

performed live in studio by the OKA Band

Jack Cat guitar vocals
Mr Cauboi lead guitar
Mesanotte Keyboards
Paco percussions

I’m late as usual late, excited like a child 			Em	Bm7
I look around to see her, my heart is racing wild 		D	C
I ‘m driving fast and faster the shit carbox I have		Em	Bm7
So badly I’d like to touch her, yet, a yuppie must behave	D	C Em
She smiles and the room is lightened				G	D
She looks around I melt						C	G
Oh, I love her loads, delighted					G	D
‘bout her long sexy legs so svelt					C	Em

The witch approaches fast, talks ‘bout fucked work
I don’t follow the matter, my mind is just on her, 
I try to free myself, involving someone else
I’m ready to get going, be sure be confident
When she talks she’s like a siren / Her mouth a honey well
Oh, the way she moves and glances /I can perceive her smell

The boss gets me soon, he questions, comments, asks
I cannot flee I’d like, what a pain in  ass
An handsome boy arrives, casually meets her
I’m rotting in my jealousy, they joke, they laugh, they flirt
I’m talking of my business / I know, I’m loosing her
That bastard steals my angel / Shit, what fucking nerd I am</description>

BANDIT 
July ‘94	

What does one do / when it’s midnight in town		Bb (F)	D (A)
and radio sparks all / the tunes you’ve thrown		Eb (Bb)	C (G)
a swinging soul / ‘s never alone				Bb (F)	G (D)
Bandit / it’s time for you go home				C (G)	F (C)	Bb (F)
									F (C)

A look in a mirror / your thoughts for a dime
times they’re a’changing / yet is not so fine
yonder the night sky / ain’t that blue
Bandit / life’s a damned flu

No dreams to sleep / no face to fix
it’s just another pillowed / cheek to cheek 
the ghosts of sadness / stoned your heart
Bandit / it ‘s just a new start</description>

you’ve talked with a devil/ put a sign on my heart
Steel and fire burn my soul / someone call me poet
yet I’m just a little thing  / which feels so near to close</description>

I don't know  if you hear me / it's just a day in your life


There is no heaven or hell 	/   no song (to) sing anymore
there is no longer rescue   / no chance to fly or bore
Happy birthday babe	/ … Happy birthday you
Happy birthday  when's  sunny time / and when it’s rainy too 
				
Fine idea came to me / stood as turned in stone
be dispersed on tracks   / as wicked ash boy gone
Happy birthday Jack / … Happy birthday you
Happy birthday 'cause your blood / is turning in your blues</description>

<description>A FEW WORDS
from Jack to Jack
September 2001
		

You say you're happy / for sure look satisfied 
G		Am	/ 	C		G
jumpin'in jumpin'out the line / hidin' words inside 	
G		     Am	    / C		    G
I've tried mistreat you / yet you never wanna bend	
D		     C	      / G 	    D 		    C
I've tried to catch you / now you say you're my friend

						TACET

say wind is blowing / has been blowing since long time
wind could blow forever / has no answer blowing inside
forever and a day / you know you're on my mind
I've tried to catch you / trying to fix your smoky smile

You say you miss me / what I've missed it's just my fault
you look so dreamingful at times / I know u're dreaming what I know
just a kind of passion / as a mirror of your soul
just a kind of possession / that's what you know as love

I think I'm loosing / day by day I think I'm dying
as a vanishing smoke ring / in the high wind of blue sky 
I ask are you happy ? / are you really happyinside ?
I don't know if you're happy /sure you look so satisfied
						
TRADUZIONE ITALIANA


Da Jack a Jack

Tu dici che sei felice.
Di sicuro mi sembri soddisfatto.
Mentre saltelli qui intorno come un folletto
E non dici una parola.
Ho tentato di maltrattarti
Ma non sono riuscito a piegarti.
Ho tentato di afferrarti
E ora tu dici che sei mio amico.

Dici che il vento sta soffiando,
guarda  che soffia da un pezzo ormai
Il vento potrebbe anche soffiare per sempre
Tanto non cìè nessuna risposta dentro

Oggi e per sempre sei nei miei pensieri.
Ho cercato di fermarti ho cercate di fissare
Queel tuo sorriso pieno di fumo.

Dici che ti manco
Ma quel che ho perso è solo  per mia colpa.
Sembri così sognante a volte
Ma Io so che stai sognando
Quel che io  conosco già…

Conosci solo un tipo di passione
come specchio della tua anima,
conosci solo un genere di possesso,
quello che definisci amore.

Penso che sto perdendo  
un giorno dopo l’altro
penso chee sto morendo.
Penso di svanire come un ‘evanescente anello di fumo
in alto nel cielo blu.
Mi chiedo. Sei felice? Sei veramente felice dentro?
Non so se sei felice…
Ma di sicuro sembri parecchio soddisfatto

from space around/a break is coming /getting closer /from another side
meshing new love / hot and wetty / push and pull / on a dusty floor</description>

<title>Mohawk</title>
<link>http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/3641.html</link>
<description>I wrote this song in 1994 when looking at the movie &quot;mohawk&quot;
here is the text

Brother deer sister moon		
join the border between you		
if my grave is the sky 				
I'll dig high						
just wait me					

Like an arrow flying straight 
like a long gun through my eyes 
if my grave is not far
I'll run 
just wait me

And like the clouds / old sparrows fly	
like the warriors / my people died		
and their souls / all walk around and say	
MOHAWK					

As the creatures of the night
they've been fighting while being blind
in the cold wind blowin'high
I'll join you
just wait me

They've been mocked one by one
just ya’ can't say who's the last
in the river flowing plain
they float
they wait me

And like the clouds / old sparrows fly	
like the warriors / my people died		
and their souls / all walk around and say	
MOHAWK					

the performance is from the Original Kat Acoustic (OKA) Band
formed by Mr Cauboi (guitar) mesanotte (sax)  Paco (percussions) and me (guitar and vocals)

<description>as played by Jack cat and Mr Cauboi in feb 2006

Mr Nobody's blues, by Jack Cat
october 2003

looking through the cracks / of a cherry thorns crown
Am7					 	Am7		
that lonely guy you see / is just nobody
D9					        Am7
while the woman of your life /  she's cooking for her child
Am7				         	Am7		
pies and smoked chicks   / ain't it buddy?
D9						Am7
and that old train u missed / gets into the station
E 				 	    F 	    G		Am7
rainbows fly your mind / break your imagination
E 			  		F 	G		Am 7
ain't it hard?	/ ain't it hard being nobody?
D	      E7	 	E		Am7
ain't it hard?	/ get out of nothing?
D	     E7		E	       Am7

she gave you all the chances / to drop your arrogance
and yet you got the time / trying be somebody
crows painting black their belts / flip mazes of your mind
yet you'd like to cage the dreams / of everybody
but you know the train u missed / is getting 'nto the station
rainbows fly your mind / break your imagination
ain't it hard?	/ ain't it hard trying being everybody?
ain't it hard?	/ get out of nothing?

now she's not yours anymore / and you're splatted on the floor
chewing lightin' vows / of your self-consideration
while your personality / is blown by this sad wind
you still grasp to desires / of being somebody
but you know the train u missed / is getting 'nto the station
rainbows fly your mind / break your imagination
ain't it hard?	/ turn out being nobody?
ain't it hard?	/ turn out being nobody?

 


Blues del signor nessuno

guardando attraverso le fessure
di una corona di spine fatta di ciliege
bhe, quel tipo solitario che intravedi
dammi retta, non è proprio nessuno

mentre la donna della tua vita 
sta cucinando per il suo bambino
focacce e polli affumicati
non è così, amico mio?

quel vecchio treno che hai perso
sta entrando nella stazione 
gli arcobaleni volano sulla tua mente
e spezzano la tua immaginazione

è difficile vero? è difficile essere nessuno
è difficile vero? è difficile uscir fuori dal nulla

lei ti ha dato tutte le possibilità
per uscir fuori dalla tua arroganza
eppure sei riuscito a trovare il tempo
per cercare di diventar qualcuno

adesso i corvi dipingono di nero le loro cinture
e rovesciano i labirinti della tua mente
eppure ti piacerebbe ancora 
provare ad ingabbiare i sogni di chiunque

ma hai perso il treno
sta entrando nella stazione
gli arcobaleni che volano nella tua mente
spezzano la tua immaginazione

è difficile vero? è difficile essere chiunque
è difficile vero? è difficile uscir fuori dal nulla

adesso lei non è più tua
e ti ritrovi spiattellato sul pavimento
mentre mastichi voti scintillanti
di autoconsiderazione

mentre la tua personalità 
viene spazzata da questo triste vento
tu ti aggrappi ancora al desiderio
di essere qualcuno

ma hai perso il treno
sta entrando nella stazione
gli arcobaleni che volano nella tua mente
spezzano la tua immaginazione

è difficile vero? scoprire di non essere nessuno

NOBODY 
December ‘98

As the snow in spring melts down 		C		Em7
on the rays of melody					F		C
Lady Cloud denied her crown			C		G
a soul break in smoke and dreams		F		C
In the island of temptation				C		Em7
(she) sewed a silk breath nest			F		C
Nobody came from nothing				C		G
on the black ship of regret				F		C
Chorus (he) left her lone in a stormy nite	G
her love still shinin’ brite				F		C
bitter tears trim(med) her’ eyes			G
while wonderin’ when and why			F		C
Nobody Nobody Nobody was his name	C		G
while leavin’ for nothin’ he didn’t say farewell	F		C

They got mutual affection
in a dirty chat love bank
they got a flash connection
and a steel kiss between them
She split(ted) her soul in 2
one to go and one to stay
when pinky fingers sunrise
pushed Nobody to his end
Chorus
Like a rising storm of clouds
darks the winter sky in grey
in the last hours (be)fore sundown
in a wood entwined of graves
Lady Cloud found her cradle
a belated psychodream
‘till Somedoby rescued her love
cherry blonded epiphany</description>

<description>recorded by The Twaxes - Jack Cat (guitar vocals) Django (guitar) Nina (cello) 

Jokin’  with the rainbow - in the seventh moon nite
jokin’  with sunglasses – to hide flash of dark sweet eyes		
joking with words – fired through the air					
exchanging crazy shelters – to protect each one’s lies			
show me the street  - show me the street of the humble			
make me blonde or black – just take me out of this jungle		
‘cause I’m born again  - (this) is not my face (this) is not me		
this will be my curse – in the seventh’s (STOP) nite dream		

The wonderful chick - took the weird man’s gush				
out a kinky dead track – playin’  three fingers stuff			
he managed wild courses – building up hot lips				
charming satisfaction – down a dark ugly street				
she dropped worried glances – over rusty goods wagons		
the weird man went crazy – as a jammed weapon				
‘twas an embassy kiss  - ‘twas a reckless drive 			
‘twas the damned curse – of the seventh (STOP) damned nite		

You can play 1, 2, 3 - but 4 is too much
walkin’ round the corner - of your soul’s sweet touch
you can ask more and more – you can fly on my roof
even if I’m burnin’ hot – I’m not foolin’ you
organizing funny slams – turn out confused and stuck 
babe it’s hard it’s hard  to accept – being neglected  and outcast
three skylarks moanin’ – in leathered leaden sky
It’s the awful damned sunrise – of the seventh damned nite</description>

1. A Chattering Monkey / and (the) Morning Son 		(G)	A / (G)	A
 met for (a) dollar drink / at Dinghy Dock			(G)	A / (G)	A
music 'as playing high / a strange killer tune 		(C)	D / (C)	D
a throat choke roarin' / dark lovers in glue			(G)	A / (G)	A
'oh chilly moon now I know I know I know what is your past 	C	G	D
now I know I know my name but I don't know if I'll be the last'	C G D

2. The Cannibal Monkey / said 'is your love my nite food ? 
 I'll keep it with mine / in a suitcase of moods
milk your life for what's worth / I've played my games 
yet I never minded / bein' blasted by shame'
'oh chilly moon now I know I know I know what is your past 
now I know I know my name but I don't know if I'll be the last'

3. A man at the window / lookin' the street 
reviewing pink chronicles / with sharp long teeth
commented 'geese throttling / is not my specialty
yet one of these days / my lite will bleed'
'oh chilly moon now I know I know I know what is your past 
now I know I know my name but I don't know if I'll be the last'

4. The Concerned Monkey / said to Morning Son 
 'u don't look good tonite / (u) look as (a) failin' sock
can I trust on your pledge ? / can I use my weapons ? 
 I like your mad genius / your surrendering demon'
'oh chilly moon now I know I know I know what is your past 
now I know I know my name but I don't know if I'll be the last'

5. On third nite talkin' / as in a long long dream
all this will not return / all this will disappear
(he said) 'love is not mechanics /  is just what you' re asked for
 I'm getting bored of cool beer / and this gossip blow'
'oh chilly moon now I know I know I know what is your past 
now I know I know my name but I don't know if I'll be the last'</description>

<description>1999. Sticks and Bones : Jack Cat (guitar and vocals) Django (guitar) Marnie (bass guitar)
Lady Bug (vocals) Pepper (drums)

Words by Jack and Marnie, Music by Jack Cat

An Angel from East / with his Stone Sword came down  		
To share (his) Paradise / and clean your Thorns Crown		
He burnt (the) Flavoured Seeds / while Jumping ‘cross (the) Fire
The Yellow ‘s dispelled / Your Redness back’ quired			

A blue funky Angel / Tumbled down into Earth		
To let you find (your) Freedom / yet he remained  trapped		
And I’m here again / oh what should I do ?				
with flashin’ dark eyes / of an angel like you			

The Paradise’s (a) Garden / full of scented flowers
For wise meditation / Rest with no Desire
You wish (this) Wonderland / To escape from (your) Confusion
Trying again (to) catch /Of Happ(i)ness (the) (Il)lusion

Adust plucked Angel/ Tumbled down into Earth			
To let you find (your) Freedom / yet he remained  trapped		
And I’m here again / oh what should I do ?				
with flashin’ dark eyes / of an angel like you				

He tasted Passion Fruits / discovered his Hell
(The) Fury of Possession / The Ecstasy of Love
Charmed by gloomy Sin / No way to avoid (the) Fall
(He) deeply seekin’ Damnation / (The) Gate of Garden’s closed
Chorus
New Heaven in Hell / For (the) Bats Night is bright
Either Angel or Devil / Truth’s your just last Lie
And I’m here again / oh what should I do ?				
with flashin’ dark eyes / of an angel like you</description>

Looking crying damn'd rainbow / in the sunrise of the cold C  Am ./ F 	G
I've been stormin / on my past . 			F   /   C
I've been stormin / on my soul 				Am    /  F

Am	                          F      / Dm       G          C
In the glimmerin' lightnin' wonder  / of  axman spanish nite  
Am					G  /       F        G         C
2. Oh my friend I’ll tell my story  / in the talkin' cricket day/ as a burning log on fire / I've burn along my way
when every mirror / round u / turns black /  then be steel my heart
'cause I love your simple mind  / in the axman  spanish nite
yes I love your spanish smile / in this simple axman nite
3. 'T'was an apocalypse  in Venice / said the jokerman from the stove/ &quot;with your ugly wooden eyes / why do you stare me so?&quot;
he said &quot;(u'll) turn out / a donkey smile/ whether hospital / or prison anytime
if drinking and just sleeping / from morning to the nite
just eating drinking playing / and wandering all the time&quot;
4. &quot;Wait a min I'll come right back / if u want to buy my bones&quot;/ that's what I said to jokerman / who's carved in my soul
as if a were a spanish pie/ as if I'm fixin' to die
as if I'm drinking sleeping playing / as a comet in the sky
as if I'm if eating drinking sleeping / and wandering all my life
5. &quot;Now what shall I call him&quot; / said jokerman (to) himself
&quot;I think I'll call him Jack / for his fortune and his shell
he'll be laughing/ light and crazy / he will bring an axe in hands 
he'll be eating drinking sleeping/ in the spanish nite
he'll be playing his axe with love / in his axman spanish life&quot;</description>

<title>beyond your lips</title>
<link>http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/3898.html</link>
<description>by myself... some words taken from titles of Bukowski's poetry collection

BEYOND YOUR LIPS
May 1998


All the pubs are close tonite / what else you expect ?
sitting lone on walkside / from here and now to next ?
stick to a bit of nothing / walkin’ in the rain
you gotta move your shelter dear / remove that wedding veil		

Refrain
I’d like to have your lips 			
and kiss you for a while			
I’d rather take a trip			
take a chance to see you smile		
and you know					
how loose the knot				

You got so blue and lone at times / then it just makes sense
like sleepin’ in a fridge at times / (as a) space doll with a lyrics bag
Most of people’s crazy / some are stupid too
death’s another movie dear / blue clouded sexy moon
Refrain

You bring me your love in fire / before u say farewell
ain’t like be forgiven babe / my love is a dog from hell
I’d rather get emotioned / I’d rather stay than move
I’d rather catch the raindrops / than stop the game with you
Refrain</description>

COBRA
(NBK Blues)
January 1998

Old Jimmy Lone went to the bank			Bm	A6	G9	F#
close the muddy river not far from Jimmy’s flat	Bm	A6	G9	F#
big moon shining rat top race				Bm	A6	G9	F#
the Queen of Spink had a jellyfruit face			Bm	A6	G9	F#
the blade was steel the blade was grey			G	F#	G	F#
she came close to him and then she said		G	A	G	F#
Cobra								Bm	A6	G9	F#

Old Jimmy Lone bended on his knees
shot down by cop guns in a bloody jamboree
he looked through the window along the riverside
the Queen of Spink had  big green eye
the blade was steel the blade was grey
she came close to him and then she said
Cobra					

Old Jimmy Lone buried in his grave
all his books around him and some CD as well
big moon shining all rats were set to dance
the Queen of Spink had a glimpse of arrogance
the blade was steel the blade was grey
she came close to him and then she said
Cobra</description>

Jealousy
june 2000
	
Well I stood right in the middle / of a shockin’ seven bars tune
And I stopped all that stuff down / to keep my mind on you
Well I need all your sensations / participation too
Feel as walkin’ in a graveyard / worms chewin’ my shoes 
Then I run as a whore on a wheel
Payin’ my fee to a monster / jeaulosy

Well you talk and laugh and climb / there’ s a lot of people ‘round
I didn’t know which was the prize / and I got a scratched snout
It’s my mind which makes you brighter / or it’s just this flashin’ pill 
I can’t stop the conversation / I can’t block this bloody chill
Then I run as a whore on a wheel
Payin’ the fee to a monster / jeaulosy

I feel (I’m) swimmin’ the mud / as a mush of chocolate chips
You can sell your soul with glances / while I’m just here for free 
Should I play it hard with you / while rollin’ in the hay
Hiddenin’ my wild mind / runnin’ after your viet-brain
Then I run as a whore on a wheel
Payin’ the fee to a monster/ jeaulosy</description>

LIKE A CANDLE OVER MIDNIGHT SEA 
January 1996



On the shoreline of your smile		         D	F#	Em7
I don't ever get your tune			D	Bm	G
it's my time to say goodbye			D	F#	Em7
it's your time to fire my blues			D	Bm	G
and that's all it's my game			         D		A
what you're playing with me			G		D
take a chance dim your lamp babe		D		A
like a candle over midnight sea		         G		D

In the darkness of the night
I can get sensations fixed
face to face on every call
while being flying on wings of speed
and that’s all it’s your fault babe
I don’t want your bitter tea
take a chance dim your lamp babe
like a candle over midnight sea</description>

LOVE TRACK
(The forgotten ballad)
November ’99

Shacky Shak lone standin’ in the cold			C Eb F C
Exchangin’ wild premises as fine gold			C Eb F C
Wishing to be closer for quick snack			Eb F C
Singin’ stupid song it’s called ‘Love Track’		Eb F C
All those flashin’ ladies dressin’ black			Am 	C
Fixin’ nails as hard bones in their flesh			Am	G
each one of them is just asking more			F	C
each one of them is just asking love			Am 	G

Shacky Shack met Nice Gipsy Little Heart 
She dressing black and purple rainbow spark
crazy ramblin’ hot  lonely daydreams
her pert mind ready exchanging jokes and tricks
They travelled any corner in the nite
Looking for proper place to skip or ride
Feelin’ (the) shiver running through town streets
Till even city angels fall asleep

He said I’m not an Ace I’m just a Jack
I’ll try to bend my soul in this Love Track
I love the song I write and never sing
A secret piece of soul which you can stick
Now they’re fencing with their wishes in a love cage
Trying to get each other soul in jail
They’re running at ev’ry time in the dark nite
Running the love track until daytime</description>

<title>meglio per il drago</title>
<link>http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/4689.html</link>
<description>this song was written 30 yrs ago and recorded in 2001

by JC guitar and voice, Django guitar and Nina at cello

MEGLIO PER IL DRAGO
Jack Cat 1977

Intro e tra le strofe
G	     C		   D		C	D   G
twice with harp in G

E tornar verso casa con un vecchio / rilegato calendario
G	     C		   D		C	D   G
con su scritte le date del tuo nuovo / amore immaginario
è una cosa che spesso capita di fare
		     Bm      F#m
quando il giorno è uno spazio
				Bm
che tu non sai riempire
       G			D
e ti trovi da solo a fantasticare
		Bm	F#m
in un vecchio treno che non arriverà
	 G			A7

E la gente che incontri per strada saluta / la tua ombra distratta
e ti fa ricordare il piacere di quando / vivevi piu’ in fretta
e la pioggia che scendeva / lavava il tuo corpo
cantava con te / la canzone di un mondo
di quando ogni giorno / era un nuovo bersaglio
e tu non vivevi a metà

E tu certo sapevi quello che / stava accadendo fra di noi
e ti chiedevi come mai / io aspettassi tanto a dirti
che il re e la regina / stavano crollando
lentamente rotolando / l’ uno dentro l’ altro
che il drago è ancora vivo /  e sta bene
e il principe non arriverà

Così se domani mi vedrai per strada / puoi far finta
di non avermi conosciuto / di esser poco convinta
che io sia quello stesso / che perse la sua testa
cercando di infilarti / dentro a una bottiglia
come una nave / fatta di cerini 
perchè non si incendi mai</description>

<description>Nite raider
from Jack Cat

as recorded by The Twaxes, 2001, Jack Cat acoustic and electric guitar and harmonica, Django acoustic guitar, Lady Bug vocals

Come to my place - said Crocky Mule – come far and ‘way - for breaking the rule 
you’ll feel the thunder –  knock behind black door	
I’ ll be stealin’ the nite – make u fade as a dove		
oh u nite raider – stealin’ love as a joke			
oh u nite raider – ash and sand u blow			

Wet Java Lady – dressin’ a smile - driven by hot feel’ – crossed the sign
she lost her shelter – in a climbing blow
what’s the next flavor – nobody really knows
oh u nite raider – stealin’ love as a joke - oh u nite raider – ash and sand u blow

The truth for a goose – could be lie for a mule - said Gipsy Fat Mama- gamblin’ the fool
sweep clouds away – wake up that funny rock
and u’ ll get his heart – u’ ll fade him as a dove
oh u nite raider – stealin’ love as a joke - oh u nite raider – ash and sand u blow</description>

<link>http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/4741.html</link>
<description>this is another version of this song
this time played by me and Mr Cauboi

Shakin’ a mouse trap
(Tale of a wonderful chick and a weird man)
july 2000

Jokin’  with the rainbow - in the seventh moon nite			Am	C
jokin’  with sunglasses – to hide flash of dark sweet eyes		F	Am
joking with words – fired through the air					Am	C
exchanging crazy shelters – to protect each one’s lies			F	Am
show me the street  - show me the street of the humble			C	G
make me blonde or black – just take me out of this jungle		F	Am
‘cause I’m born again  - (this) is not my face (this) is not me		C	G
this will be my curse – in the seventh’s (STOP) nite dream		Am	G  F

C	G 	F Am (Twice)

The wonderful chick - took the weird man’s gush				Am	C
out a kinky dead track – playin’  three fingers stuff			F	Am
he managed wild courses – building up hot lips				Am	C
charming satisfaction – down a dark ugly street				F	Am
she dropped worried glances – over rusty goods wagons		C	G
the weird man went crazy – as a jammed weapon				F	Am
‘twas an embassy kiss  - ‘twas a reckless drive 				C	G
‘twas the damned curse – of the seventh (STOP) damned nite		Am	G  F

C	G 	F Am (Twice)

You can play 1, 2, 3 - but 4 is too much
walkin’ round the corner - of your soul’s sweet touch
you can ask more and more – you can fly on my roof
even if I’m burnin’ hot – I’m not foolin’ you
organizing funny slams – turn out confused and stuck 
babe it’s hard it’s hard  to accept – being neglected  and outcast
three skylarks moanin’ – in leathered leaden sky
It’s the awful damned sunrise – of the seventh (STOP) damned nite

Traduzione
Scuotendo la trappola per topi

Giocando con l’arcobaleno nella notte della settima luna
Giocherellando con gli occhiali da sole per nascondere il bagliore di dolci occhi scuri
Giocando con le parole sparate nell’aria
Scambiarsi folli scudi per ripararsi ognuno dietro le bugie dell’altro
Mostrami la strada mostrami la via dell’umiltà
Fammi biondo o moro ma portami fuori da questa giungla
Perché sono nato nuovamente, questa non è la mia faccia questo non sono io
Questa sarà la mia maledizione nel sogno della settima notte

La magnifica pollastra prese il desiderio dell’uomo bizzarro
Lo portò fuori dal binario morto arrotolato per giocarsi una partita con tre dita
Lui organizzò incontri selvaggi mettendo su storie di labbra bollenti
Mentre affascinava l’appagamento giù in una brutta scura strada
Lei gettava occhiate preoccupatte su vagoni merci polverosi
L’uomo bizzarro ne usci pazzo come un’arma che si inceppa
Fu un bacio all’ambasciata fu una corsa in macchina senza controllo
Fu la dannata maledizione della settima notte maledetta

Tu puoi fare 1, 2, 3 ma 4 è troppo anche per te
Mentre giri l’angolo del tocco leggero della tua anima
Puoi chiedere sempre di più puoi volaree sul mio tetto
Anche se sto bruciando non sto cercando di ingannarti
Organizzando divertenti incontri per uscirne confuso e sconvolto
Baby è davvero dura dover accettare di essere rifutati 
Tre allodole si lamentavano nel cielo color piombo e cuoio
Nella trsiste e fottuta alba della settima notte maledetta</description>

Ya’ gotta get dark glasses babe / ya’ gott’e plastic bones		
ya’ gotta diamond teeth and look / lik’a Cherry Robocop	
but that’s all trash ya’ gotta babe /  crave mercy all nite long	
unless ya’ do the right one / ya’ ll get in mud and swamps 	

Ya ‘need a Steel Finger

<title>the dead duck</title>
<link>http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/6286.html</link>
<description>THE DEAD DUCK &amp; THE GONE GOOSE
June 1999

A boor slob Devil woked up by stones			G 	Em
a late afternoon came to visit my home			A7	C
he said ‘do you feel a dead duck at nite ?’		G	A7
he said ‘would u like to get back from outside ?’	C	G
I said ‘are u my devil – are u my soul ?			G	Em
or just another blonde killer crow ?			A7	C
if I’m playin’ ‘round in a 3T mood			G	A7
should I get back to be gone bamboo ?			C	G
Refrain
 ‘cause it’s easy to be easy 					D	
and share a nice dark feel					C	G
while  it’s hard being disconnected 			D
with no chance to get more thrill				C	G
c’mon babe don’t be so easy 				D
c'mon it’s hard to be ‘lone					C	G
yah it’s easy getting sad 					G	D
feel like a highway cat (4 times)				
C9	G/ D 	C 	G/ Bm	 Am/ Am 	G (4 stops)

Another day I was playin’ round with dice
‘gether with a gone goose and her shinin’ mice
she said ‘these chilly numbers are hard to fix
I did’nt realize I should get all six’
I said ‘it doesn’t matter have a proper motion
If ‘u’ll be able do that combination’
I said ‘are you afraid ‘bout your sadness ?
trust on me when you’ll need a witness’
Refrain

When eventually u’ll stay there 
dispersed as usual and asking more
waiting for a sign to release your power 
may be u’ll have to become a sunflower
may be you ‘re fragile may be you’re strong
may be you feel 3T but look just one (T)
who knows who knows what right move will be ?
may be to be a dead duck or a gone goose in trip
Refrain</description>

Sister Steel in u I trust					F		E
at your blind power guess				Am		
while marching through the fields of pain		F		C 	G

Riff

The mud , the blood and buddy
Sweet Sister was  your love
borne by chance or was it driven by ignorance
it’s useless keep the score
 if u’ren’t able to get more
while being so close each other
and u cannot share your love
Sister Melody
sangria shelter katanga shoes 
Sweet Sister give feel 
to your soldier
feelin’ the body
which pushes his heel

Riff

When it’s snowing all around u
be alert in the silence
if u fall asleep u’ll be dead
soldier, feel the tepid snow
touch the ice, is hot
don’t cry behind your dreams.
When the storm will meet at u 
we’ll be walking together
be quiet, I’ll be your Angel
while whispering wise words
My Sorrow and I
in the winter of your grief
I’ll be the spring.</description>

<description>The last man who did everything

by Jack Cat, played by TWAXES (Jack Cat guitar, vocals and hormonica, Django, guitar) in Y 2000


THE LAST MAN WHO DID EVERYTHING
November ‘98

The last man who did ev’ rything			A	C#m
he managed to be strong				D	E
was hunged up as high as sky			A	C#m
the nite they got him wrong				D	E
people with no weight					C#m	D
choked his heart in blue				A	E 	D
he flew away as light as kiss			A	C#m
a wonder wannado					D	A

The last man who saved the world
he was so square and true
he never walked out of his path
didn’ t care to win or loose
one day they asked him
why don’t you take a rest
so calm and quiet he replied
I’m not that kind of man

Sometimes I feel so lonesome
sometimes I feel so blue
sometimes it’s hard to feel ourselves
cancelled by fortune
it ‘s when I think to him
the last tough man at work
the one I ever missed
the brother I’ve never had</description>

<title>titty hell</title>
<link>http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/3819.html</link>
<description>this ballad is dedicated to Charles Bukowski, great writer and poet

this version is a live studio performance from Stiocks and Bones y2000

text and music by Jack Cat

Titty Hell

Dick was doin’ a solo now he’s asking where he was	
while trying to screw his head into a pinko ginger glove	
the nite he met a Titty Hell blowin’ out Tequila storm 
despite speakin’ good English (she) look’d like a sphynx in bronze 
Ah Dickie Dickie Dickie Dick what else d’u expect
I’d like u be my soul tonite and rest inside my nest
I say this just in case u call me when I am out or stoned	
‘cause your fancy inclination (to) fall in love with stars and gold 

In a flurry foam of feeling she nested around his goose neck
he kissed her silent lips and fell into his deepest hell
she said you’re not a ghost u really look like Dick the Rock
then dropped duck soup and honey all’round (that) ginger glove
Ah Titty Titty Titty Tweet I can’t be yours tonite
your nest will be my cage and I’m not yet bound to hide
I say this just in case u call me when I am out or stoned	
 ‘cause your fancy inclination (to) fall in love with stars and gold 

It took a Philly lawyer to get Dick out of hell
(he is) still wond’rin’ if performin’ better with a ginko shell
so when will happen u be ridin’ lone in a cold desert nite
don’t forget of Titty Hell and Lonny Dick inside
so when u’ll meet your Titty at any place you’ll slide
don’t put your hell on her just ‘caus’ of your stupid pride
I say this just in case u call me when I am out or stoned
