BROKEN DREAMS Stop this war You‘re always on the run. Eyes are grim and full of secrets - loaded gun. Watch the signs, there is no other way. You have to put your life in order - right away. Winters night Caught up in the light Broken dreams - you must face up to your fears. Either get up on your feet or the beating is complete. The rush of time - when it cuts you like a knife. You are trapped inside your head all your hopes are bleeding fast. Are you tuff enough to turn your life around? Lost in space between your heart and mind. So caught up in this Groundhog moment - all the time. Place the blame, a victim of your yourself. Nobody is coming at you - break the spell. Wounded soul is out of control Broken dreams - you must face up to your fears… Childhood friend We used to be so good We used to rule the world

TOUCHING THE VOID Jilted like a rose in the dirt. Mend your broken heart. Misled through the anguish and hurt. Make a brand new start. Touching the void in the night for awhile, you were lost in the storm and condemned without trial. Think on your feet, now is time to go home, you‘ve been running away so long. Break out, free the soul from within. Seek and you will find. Come on feel the sun on your skin. Leave the past behind.

Cradle Rock 03:40
CRADLE ROCK If I was a cradle, would you let me rock? If I was a pony, would you let me trot? If I was an atom, swimmin' in the threes If I go out my cell phone's dead, would you put you dogs on me? If I was a baby, would you let me fall? If I was an outlaw, would you have me caught? If I was a tiger, would you have me caged? If I was somebody else, would you act your age? You'll miss out if you're, getting high - no thank you Pray it doesn't happen, this time I'll make you see it You and I gotta say, this is about me and you, yeah If I was a nightlight, would you let me see? If I was an anchor, it'd be news to me. If I was a maybe, giving you next call. If I tell you the truth now baby Listen when I talk !

LOST AND FOUND Tears they come falling like a rain from the sky Tears they come falling like a rain from the sky Soon as the sun sets I regret making all this hue and cry You are the best thing that’s ever happened to me You are the best thing that’s ever happened to me Well you’re treating me so much better now, much better than ma used to be. Sometimes I’m up Sometimes I’m down Sometimes I’m up and sometimes I’m down Sometimes a wise man Sometimes a clown, I know you will bail me out at lost and found At the end of the rainbow I can see a pot of gold At the end of the rainbow I can see your little honey pot of gold Just put your head on my shoulder baby let it go, ease my soul

EVERYTHING IS WRONG WITH THE WORLD TODAY I‘m sick of working and just getting by, I‘m sick of settling for the crumbs of rich man‘s pie. Down at the bottom, we proudly march, flanked by the fascists and their greedy oligarchs. I know well the currency of life; money, power, fame will ease your strife. But don‘t you get the feeling that the system has been rigged. Everything is wrong with the world today - wrong with the world today Yeah, yeah, yeah See how they swindle, see how they lie. The privileged few are sucking other people dry. In the name of progress, they forced their way and play their golf with our planet every day. “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way.” (Charles Dickens - A Tale of Two Cities)

Money 05:20
MONEY Money, get away Get a good job with more pay and you're okay Money, it's a gas Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash New car, caviar, four star daydream Think I'll buy me a football team Money, get back I'm all right Jack keep your hands off of my stack Money, it's a hit Don't give me that do goody good bullshit I'm in the high-fidelity first class traveling set And I think I need a Lear jet Money, it's a crime Share it fairly but don't take a slice of my pie Money, so they say Is the root of all evil today But if you ask for pay rise it's no surprise That they're giving none away

LADY LUCK (Just Give Me A Chance) Coming, I feel you coming, just like a sunlight through my window, vibration in my shadow. Falling apart and waiting for you to come here a little closer, In my life and make it sober. Promises of new redemption, let the fun begin. I will give you all my loving, almost everything. Darling, I need you darling, don‘t leave me lying six feet under, ´better show me all your wonders. C'mon over and be my friend, together we can rip it up and start again. Lady Luck, just give me a chance. I feel it in the air somehow, everything I ever wanted, here and now. So Lady Luck, just give me a chance – one more time. Darling, I need you darling, don‘t leave me hanging like a spider, I‘m your one and only rider. Burning for some old sensation underneath my skin I will give you all my loving, almost everything. Darling, I need you darling. Don‘t leave me standing on my own now, ´got no skills or simple know-how C'mon over and be my friend…

I WANNA TELL YOU A STORY Now, I wanna tell you a story I’m gonna tell it right now I wanna tell you a story about a girl I used to know. And all her devious antics when I was under her spell. I wanna tell you a story about a girl I used to... She sat alone in a lounge bar and nursing Jack on ice. She caught my eyes with a hot smile, I was in paradise. I didn‘t see how they spiked me, I didin‘t spot the con. When I woke up in pain, in a alley of shame, no surprise all my money was gone. Now, I wanna tell you a story… Another fool down the drainpipe. Another job well done. Bonnie and Clyde in the making and we had just begun. I had a muse and a partner. She was my femme fatale. But it all came to halt, with her stab in my back and they kicked my ass back in the jail.

Spoonful 04:17
SPOONFUL It could be a spoonful of diamonds, could be a spoonful of gold, just a little spoon of your precious love, Satisfies my soul. Men lies about them Some of them cries about them Some of them dies about them and everything’s a fightin’ about the spoonful That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful It could fill spoon full of coffee Could fill spoon full of tea But a little spoon of your precious love Could had enough for me Men lies about them… It could be a spoonful of water, Saved from the deserts sand, But one spoon of them fortifies. Save you from another man.

Punch 03:59
PUNCH When I was young, a stupid one I saw the world as a battleground. I used to fight, most every night until I‘d grind the motherfuckers down. The endless urge, right on the verge you filled my life when things turned bad. With love attack, you pulled me back, it was the hardest blow I ever had. Punch The angry mob, the inside jobs are raging on without control. The truth or dare, it fills the air, the dark is brewing in my troubled soul. You have to find, a piece of mind and let the music compromise. The drum and bass, will mend your grace and hit you right between your weary eyes. Punch I tell you once, I tell you twice, I tell you three times to remind Your baby‘s smile, your songs and rhymes are the real things you leave behind leave behind.

about

Punch is the debut album by GG blús. This Reykjavik guitar-drums-voice duo makes the most of its aesthetic choices and the spaces between riffage and the big beat. With seven new orginal songs and three surprising covers, this album rocks and grooves hard and illustrate their aptitude for well-crafted structures and melodies in low-fi, garage rock feel.
