The captain's a prick
And he doesn't give a shit
About the course of his ship
It's adrift it's adrift
A full crew at risk
For the sake of one misfit
That bloody ship’s adrift
It's adrift it's adrift
Somewhere out there lost on the high seas
May its soul
May its soul rest in peace
It's adrift it's adrift
At the mercy of the water streams
May its soul may its soul rest in peace

YOLO

Come on come on you only live once
Come on come on you won’t get the chance twice
Come on come on we’re all on the same line
Come on come on it is goddamm party time
Forget about tomorrow forget about your plans
Together here there’s so much fun to have
No need to consider tumbling into bed
You can always go to sleep when you are dead
The night ain’t over yet / it’s just the beginning
Kegs are top-full / and glasses are clinking
So put on your ghillies / and get into the rhythm
Dance up a storm to the air of the fiddle
It is now or never life will not wait
So you’d better lift off the foot of the brake
N’ embrace the moment really just in case
Providence forsees an early grave
A tad of craziness / ain’t that big of a deal
To loosen up the stress / of the daily routine
Tonight is the night / and the rest is history
It’s gotta be wild to be legendary
Ensure to keep in mind in a corner of the head
Those times you stood by thinking I should have
There is nothing worse than a stack of regrets
Attached to your shoes n slippery when wet
So let’s take the time / to forget about time
Enjoyment is key / to keep us alive
Soon enough this world / will turn its back on us
Present is what counts and the rest’s just a plus

One More Round

Sitting on these bar stools / forever it seems
Piling up the empties / for ev’ry broken dream
But what better place to / forget about the flops
Than your ass on a bar stool / guzzling whatever pops
Who doesn’t have / Some demons to kill
What wa need here is another refill
One more round
Is all we want
One more round
For misery to drown
One more round
Of Whiskey beer and Gin
Hurry up mister bartender we badly wanna drink
Trying to walk pass / A whole bunch of blows
Still some of the bruises / Unfortunetly show
But so many before / Have lifted their spirits
With great excess of liquor / Now we are doing our bit
Anyone can use / A bit of a kick
What we need now’s a hell of a tonic

The sun is fast falling beneath trees of stone
The light in the tower no longer my home
Past eyes of pale fire, black sand for my bed
I trade all I’ve known for the unknown ahead
Call to me, call to me lands far away
For I must now wander this wandering day
Away I must wander this wandering day
Of drink I have little and food I have less
My strength tells me no, but the path demands yes
My legs are so short and the way is so long
I’ve no rest nor comfort, no comfort but song
Sing to me, sing to me lands far away
Oh rise up and guide me this wandering day
Please promise to find me this wandering day
At last comes their answer, through cold and through frost
That not all who wonder or wander are lost
No matter the sorrow, no matter the cost
That not all who wonder or wander are lost
Call to me, call to me lands far away
For I must now wander this wandering day
Away I must wander this wandering day

Shenanigans here
Shenanigans there
Shenanigans everywhere
From e’vry county / of this dear land
Up to Downing street / n’ the Houses of Paliament
Wheeling and dealing / in any old way
Always sneaks right in / to mess up the game... For
No one gives a damn / nor about you
Nor ‘bout any scam / or deceitful point of views
Visceral swindlers / and their naked greed
don’t use much poppers / to do as they please... For
On the left on the right ahead or behind
where ever you look it’s the same old same old sight...
Of manners where ethics do not really apply
And trickeries arise in the blink of an eye

The Manky Melters Sélestat, France
The Manky Melters are a Celtic Folk-Punk band led by a charismatic female singer, enough to renew this predominantly male- fronted musical genre. Hence the chiseled song writing, a precise rhythm section and an innate sense of melody. The lyrics alternate a sharp look at society and invitations to let go, carried by fiery, turbulent and festive music. ... more
