Ape

about

I wrote this song as a quick one after realizing that playing "BCK" live would have been too art for me, after a band practicing sesison. That's before I decided to trash the whole "TenneT" session goin' for saving the best songs for the next project I'm workin' on. So the first "APE" version was really a quick one with just drums, electric distored guitars and fuckload of vocals. I really like the reverbs and the harmony in it. As for the song - I don't know how I came out with that crazy stuff - my attention was caught by a live performance by Lady GaGa showing off her talent on a super furry piano. So I started to wonder how would have been tough having a relationship with an artist selling your privacy by the pound and GaGa singing in front of zillion of people about her new lover replacing her former official mate, afraid of standing an affair with a gurl with such personality. You may find some random references to Donkey Kong and Taran as well.

lyrics

The bobbed green wig did suite her firnged dress
She immediately pur fingers on her hair
Performing to promote her brand new flame
She sat down calm and sang about her

APE
Banana Banana

(The Angels plays with Romeo tonight)
(A tatoo states I’ll love her till I die)
(My winged cross is older than you think)
(so please come down and carry on with me)

Why must be a pain when silence breaks
She told me she was dumped yesterday
He wasn’t really sure to settle down
A dignified silence left the town

Her heartache fed so many Twitter fans
The Mirror said she didn’t mean to offend
You really need support from a good friend
forget about your boyfriend I’m your

APE

And watch her, she didn’t get donkey konged
while asking the reporter: "How high can you get?"
She worn hairs in coca cola rollers
She’s looking so savage now
With not a place to stay
She must be my Jean and I bet that I’m your…
