"Absolute Cheesecake Masterpiece"

lyrics

Evening comes and I'm going out
getting ready all by myself.
I will do the thing that I never dared
gonna put my heart on the shelf.

That feeling comes back all over again
curling up my skin like a sweet hurt;
if only I could just overcome myself,
there's nothing in this world that I can't do.

Ballroom my baby waits for me
he'll be tapping my shoulder,
we'll be dancing till the sun comes up.
Ballroom, what you done with my sweet sixteen
he's not here and I'm losing, oh, he's not here and I'm loosing beat.

The moment comes, it is in my reach
but I just can't find my strength;
if I don't ask her to dance tonite
I'll regret all my life.

Call me on the phone
I'll get u where u really want me oh.
Call me on the phone
I'll get u where u really want me oh.

(That) feeling comes all over again
curling up my skin like a sweet hurt;
if only I could just overcome myself,
there's nothing in this world that I can't do.

Ballroom my baby waits for me,
he'll be tapping my shoulder,
we'll be dancing till the sun comes up.
Ballroom, my sweetheart I miss you,
been wasting my time, oh, got to thinking I could give u up.

(spoken)

"I don't know man, I don't think this is gonna work. The next day after what happened that night I just couldn't get out of bed, u know... I think we'd be better off as friends."
No, relax, it's just for fun."
"Yea... I don't know..."
"Come on let's get out of here."
"Alright."

pictorial candi Berlin, Germany

Warsaw based "Pictorial Candi is the pseudonym of off-kilter Argentinian songstress Candelaria Saenz Valiente and her debut solo LP, Eat Your Coney Island [...] is as bewildering as it is brilliant and, to contextualise that comment, it’s fucking sensational.” (Dots&dashes). Her second album DRINK is a bottle of fizzy beverage done diy: a cohesive sounding psychedelic punk-pop to dirty techno. ... more
