Lisa Germano is one of those artists who's never belonged to one core crowd. Doing the big rock thing wasn't important to her, although time spent playing with John Mellencamp in the late '80s and early '90s opened her eyes to the ever-changing ways of the music business. Germano worked her craft without becoming a conformist; music is her soul and writing is her fuel. Born in Mishawaka, IN at the dawn of 1958, Germano was the middle of six kids. Her parents were teachers and musicians who encouraged their children to learn an instrument until they turned 18. At the age of seven, she wrote her first piece of music, a 15-minute opera on the piano and, in due time, Germano learned the violin, an instrument that would ultimately guide her to a professional career in music. She made her debut as John Mellencamp's violinist and fiddle player on his 1987 hit album Lonesome Jubilee. Germano would spend the next seven years with Mellencamp, shaping a smooth, fearless playing style. Additional tours and recording sessions with Simple Minds and the Indigo Girls motivated Germano to do something on her own. She found her voice at the age of 30 and developed a quirky sound rooted in folk-rock and poetry.
The lo-fi, shadowy On the Way Down From the Moon Palace was issued on her own Major Bill label in 1991, marking Germano's proper introduction as a solo artist. Happiness was much more melancholy and acerbic when it appeared two years later on Capitol. Sales were fare, but Germano didn't care for the major-label buzz, so she signed with Ivo Watts-Russell's 4AD in 1994 and reissued a new version of the album. (4AD eventually included the fantastically dramatic Inconsiderate Bitch EP with its re-release in 1999). Geek the Girl, which also appeared before the year's end, captured Germano's secrets of a wavering self-concept and her disgust for social ignorance. This particular album of massy sexual conflicts earned Germano her biggest praise from the press to date. People started to connect with her and that's exactly what Germano wanted. Excerpts From a Love Circus was gushing in adoration when it arrived in 1996, but critics didn't take to this glossy body of work. The emotional double-cross of Slide (1998) didn't do as well either, so Germano took some time off. Within months, Germano lost her deal with 4AD. She questioned her place in music and basically vowed to never make another record. A move to Hollywood for a simple kind of life gave Germano a much needed break. She took a job as a clerk at Book Soup and enjoyed her anonymity. Songwriting remained an integral part of her life, but having it be a means to making a living wasn't a concern. Joining other artists such as David Bowie, Anna Waronker, and Neil Finn on their respective projects kept Germano connected. Luckily for fans, Germano inked a deal with the ARTISTdirect imprint, Ineffable, in 2002. Germano's classic, twisted sense of humor was at its finest on Lullaby for Liquid Pig, which was issued in April 2003.

You say some hurtful things now None cut so deeply Those visions of beauty Those visions haunt me Illusions of hope And they drive me crazy You're not my yoko ono You said those words to me You have too many problems Always in therapy Lovesick You are a constant patient You stop me being mean Give me some inspiration Is that why you hit me Lovesick Lovesick Those visions of beauty Those visions

the birds So what if your heroes changed their minds And all you thought was right flew out the window And all you based your life on wasn't real So what if your hero sells its soul And all your wildest dreams seem dull and dreary And all your secret thoughts seem cheap and lonesome What you going to do so all alone now Singing to the birds Singing to the birds Singing to the birds Singing So what if your hero fades away And all the things you thought were orange were gray now Who is it who brings you some new colors So what if your hero never was What you going to do So all alone there Singing to the birds Singing to the birds Singing It's partly sunny, it's partly rain, mostly curious Or full of pain You could learn to love yourself Singing to the birds And what if your hero never was And all the time you wasted wasn't real And all your wounds decided just to heal And all your wildest dreams were full of color And all your secret thoughts belonged to you What you going to do so all alone here Singing to the birds Singing to the birds Singing to the birds Singing It's partly sunny, partly rain, mostly curious or full of pain You got to learn to count on someone 'Cause it's mostly pain And it's kind of curious when it rains and You could learn to love yourself You could learn to love yourself You could even learn to be yourself Singing to the birds Messages from Sophia You can carry me home now You can carry me home I'm drunk and you're tired We haven't talked for a while You can carry a lie 'Till it makes you fall down You can't help me Be quiet I couldn't touch you right now You couldn't care if i died But I haven't finished quite yet Couldn't you give me a moment Let me catch my breath Lies, liar, lies, liar, lies, liar You can carry me home now You can carry me home I'm drunk and it's christmas We haven't talked for a while You can carry me home now Would you just carry me home Big big world Got a big big heart A big broken heart In a big big world In a dance we smiled A big big smile On a big dance floor Floating floating floating Floating floating floating Got a love so huge A big big love In a big big cave Floating floating floating Floating floating floating 'Cause love flies by See it flying by In the big big sky Floating floating floating Floating floating floating With the same old smile Stuck on my face All by myself With a big big heart Great big love In the big big world Big big world

Young woman, share your fire with me My heart is cold, my soul is free I am a stranger in your land A wandering man, call me sand Oh sir, my fire is very small It will not warm thy heart at all But thee may take me by the hand Hold me, and i'll call thee sand Young woman, share your fire with me My heart is cold, my soul is free I am a stranger in your land Wandering, call me sand At night when stars light up my sky Oh sir, i dream my fire is high Oh, taste these lips sir if you can Wandering man, i'll call thee sand Oh sir, my fire is burning high If thee should stop sir, i would die The shooting star has crossed my land Wandering man, she whispered... Sand (sand) Young woman shared her fire with me Now warms herself with memories I was a stranger in her land A wandering man, she called me sand He was a stranger in my land A wandering man She called me Sand

It won't be long It won't be long It won't be long How slow and slow and slow it goes To mend the tear that always shows It won't be long It won't be long It's hard enough losing the paper illusion you've hidden inside Without the confusion of finding You're using the crutch of a lie To shelter your pride when you cry Round, round, round we spin To weave a wall to hem us in It won't be long It won't be long How slow and slow and slow it goes To mend the tear that always shows It won't be long It won't be long You're moving too slow wherever you go, there's another beside It's so hard to say no to yourself And it shows that you're losing inside When you step on your pride and you cry Round, round, round we spin To weave a wall to hem us in It won't be long It won't be long How slow and slow and slow it goes To mend the tear that always shows It won't be long How the hours will bend through the time that you spend 'Til you turn to your eyes, and you see your best friend Looking over the end... And you turn to see why And he looks in your eyes and he cries Round, round, round we spin To weave a wall to hem us in It won't be long It won't be long How slow and slow and slow it goes To mend the tear that always shows It won't be long It won't be long It won't be long

Nobody’s playing These are your secrets Hidden inside Wherever you go Wherever you hide Nobody's playing Nobody knows Circles and circles Places to drown All that you feel Is you're going down Everyone's wondering where you are Circles and circles Holding you down All that you see Is you're not around Somebody knows How this feels Nobody's playing No one comes near No one can tell you What you won't hear
Paper doll In my mind In my mind It was oh so fine Happy now Happy gone I am often wrong Put me on Scissor me Then you leave me be Cut me out Knead me too You can paint me blue You can always play with You can always play with You can always play with Always one Once again I'll be your best friend Paper doll Paper doll Paper doll You can always play with You can always play with You can always play with Me
Liquid pig Where did you go What did you say Who did you call What did you say Liquid Pig Look what you did Drink what you said Liquid Pig Flaky Freak Magnet Attracted to Attracting it Liquid Pig Drink what you said Traveling to Brain Dead Talk to take him down You are one of them Freaky You're a freak magnet Liquid Pig I'm losing it Where did you go What did you say
Pearls Falling fast Raise your glass Fill your open sores While you last Wear your mask Wear it like it's real Like home These are my pearls Like home And i wear 'em Hurry world Whirl and whirl Stop when you fall down Like you did Raise your head Wish that you were there Like home These are my pearls Like home And i wear 'em While you last Raise your mask Look at you reflect Hate will grow Into blossoms of no Take you lower than low Hate will grow with your alcohol glow You'll get used to the show Hate will grow Into someone you know It feels good to be home
Candy Oh yeah It's my favorite feeling Not there What a good place to be Too bad it's still raining inside Alcohol So cool It gets better to be here Come to When there's nothing to say Too bad i forgot what i's thinking Alcohol Sunning in the messy surroundings Easy It's just somewhere to be Oh yeah There is always another One Mmmmm You look like your self from the inside Turning into something you feel Too bad there's this image to live with Alcohol I'm gone Started feeling peculiur Oh yeah It's my favorite thing Too bad I got nowhere today
Dream glasses off Hey again I thought that you were my friend Take the dream glasses off And see again Like before When i opened the door Let the happiness in And closed again Someday someone Is gonna see you Someday someone Is gonna come through Death decides when to open your eyes Go away Would you just go away Go away Go away They go away Someday someone Is gonna love you Someday someone Is gonna need you, too And they said when you empty your head You can actually see without your sight Hey again I thought that i was this friend Took the dream glasses off And saw again Someday someone Is gonna come through They're all out there Waitin' for you, too
From a shell And the earth spins round while the people fall down And the world stands still not a sound (not a sound) There is love There is love To be found In the worst way In the worst way In the worst way It's the buzz It's the buzz It's the buzz It's the buzz It's the buzz It's the buzz I wish i was It's the buzz It's the buzz It's the most fuzz From a little shell at the bottom of the sea With the earth and the moon and the sun above me But the world fell down with some people still around There is love There is love To be found With the gods all gone and the souls making sound In the worst way In the worst way In the worst way It's the buzz It's the buzz It's the buzz It's the buzz It's the buzz I wish i was It's the buzz It's the buzz It's the most fuzz From a little shell at the bottom of the sea With the earth and the moon and sun around me There is love There is love There is love It's the buzz It's the buzz It's the buzz It's the buzz It's the buzz I wish i was It's the buzz It's the buzz It's the buzz
It’s party time It's too much me And none of the people I wanna be 9.99 Pretty good wine A beautiful time What i am Is dreaming of dreams Of what i was I could be My sweetheart You're sweeter than sweet And meaner than mean I love you It's party time It's party time It's party time All of the good things In the middle I leave behind Unsolved riddles And i smell like wine Most of the time My big red wine It's party time It's party time Know what i mean I don't mean anything I don't mean anything
All the pretty little lies Apologize Wipe your eyes out No one's there They can't care Cuz you suck it out Apologize In disguise All they see is your lies and your tries You apologize What you fear And you'd be surprise what they really hear So you try again More you say You are at the wheel driving them away Apologize Wipe your eyes out No one's there They can't care Cuz you sucked it out
Lullaby for liquid pig I need a fix A little one And then it's over Then i'm done I got my own I need to find But in between You are a lifeline But if i do (stop) But if i don't (stop) It doesn't matter I probably won't (stop) Without you here Without your love The world is just there It doesn't move me I want it now I want it bad And when it's done I'll start over And i can give Oh i could give But when your're in I give better Without you here Without your love The world is just there It doesn't move me I got my own I need to find But in between You are a lifeline
Into the night In the wrong time In the wrong place In the wrong mind Can't find the time Can't find the thoughts Can't find the signs Everything seems just as it seems Just as it seems Losing the feel Lost all the feel Of real things Close your eyes Not a pretty sight And i'll tell you what It's not gonna be alright This time What not to see What not to hear What not to be When you begin Seeing your sins Seeing your sins Everything missing Lost all the feel Losing the need for real things Close your eyes It's not a pretty sight And i'll tell you what It's not gonna be alright This time
...to dream Only when it's real When it speaks to you And no one else can hear Don't give up your dream It's really all you have And i don't wanna see you die To dream To live In your darkest moments In your deepest thoughts Then it speaks to you To dream Listen You are dreaming This is who you are You don't have to run Away
In the maybe world
*** Thanx a lot to Wouter for these lyrics ***
The day It’s a sunrise It’s a sunset It’s the memory of the onset Of a lifetime full of wonder And the constant falling under Full of finding every good thing To be added to the sadness Like you’re running from your laughter And your sense of it’s a wonder And the only time for brilliance What did you do to be like this And what do you do When you feel it and you don’t go Pretend that you don’t know Too much space In the morning without a sound And the stirring of dreams around Then you wake up He wasn’t there again On the way home you feel it there Cause your heart needs to be somewhere But you wake up To too much space again An illusion it’s just not true We’ve always been me and you But I wake up And you’re not here again You never know You wait too long You need a fire It’s all gone wrong He gave it up he hit the dust And now your heart is made of rust You dig a plant And put it there And hope and hope And swear and swear One of us Moon in hell It seems a little safer Up in empty space Not a life to live in It’s just a dying place You wonder what you’re doing Giving up at noon Use your best excuses To stay up on the moon Where it’s easier to wonder I hope you’re having fun Pissed in isolation Covering the sun Continuing the falter Continuing the rot Use you favorite weapons To stay who you are not If you even want to Change before you die Change the way you’re losing Change the way you hide Carry down the reasons Carry down the why It’s such a heavy load For such a lying mind You know just what you’re doing You’ve known it all along You drag your living feelings Where they don’t belong Golden cities Never ending Stories about finding Golden cities Pulling you away Say you will say you might Come around my room tonight As you’re riding As you ride away Drugless tripping Everyone around is some how different This is how the story goes Say you will say you might Come around my room tonight As you’re riding As you ride away Cause you’re here some Then you’re not some As you ride away Golden cities You are very lucky As you travel think of us occasionally Cause you’re here some Then you’re not some As you ride away And you’re riding And you ride away Say you will say you might Come around my room tonight As you’re riding As you ride away Into oblivion Somewhere Someone’s sleeping Somewhere i saw blue eyes believing But all along i want to go Into oblivion Oblivion my friend Maybe it’s time we said I’ll miss you forever But all along i want to go Into oblivion Somewhere someone’s freezing Somewhere i saw blue eyes believing But all along i need to go Into oblivion Oblivion I love you Maybe it’s time we said goodbye There was this place Before you left That was the storyteller In the land of fairies Narcissistic little fairy Why do i feel dead Who was that stupid ogre Messing with my head Somebody saw a monster It was real mean Every little soul has Sides you’ve never seen All around my bubble Fairies everywhere I don’t even like ‘em I don’t even care Somebody saw a monster Worst you’ve ever seen Scary little joker It was only me Thinking i was dead Don’t have time to be here That’s the place for me Don’t have time to talk now Busy as a bee Don’t have time to talk now
Wire So i wake up cold And i want to get off But everybody says you’re tired I see these things And i want to be there Where everybody feels frightened I don’t want to be a wire There’s a simple place Where the real world is Everybody thinks they’re trying I touch this place And i really get off Where everybody feels alive I don’t want to be a wire In the maybe world After winter Comes another storm It’s a shiver It’s a freaking out Could be real time Could be wonderful It’s the future in the maybe world Let the bird fly Let it out of here They just brought it As an offering It’s the color of remembering And the weirdness of forgetting In the shiver in the freaking out See the live ones see ‘em taking off It’s the color of happy endings In another world beginning In the could time In the maybe world I was thinking i might like it there In the future i was wondering How many birds you’re gonna bring me? Red thread So many movies Touching the memories Leaving you cold Or making you cry No one to run to No one to hold you No one to take you Away from the need to go to hell All of the ugly Field of vision Maybe the anger Is just what you needed Go to hell fuck you Go to hell fuck you go to hell Mirror mirror Help me see clear Say yes Say maybe See possibilities Go to hell fuck you Go to hell fuck you go to hell I love you i love you too A seed Love is just a seed that wants to grow Put it in your heart and let it go Let it go there Keep it in a box and hold it close Suffocate the bits you needed most Let it go now All these simple feelings have to go All this tired love just couldn’t flow Yes i know this And the love is And the love was Let let the love go Let the love be Except for the ghosts Wind chimes Waves climb Over and done Heavy passing Weightless and one Alone in the sea Alone in the sea The deeper you go The letting it be Except for the ghosts Except for the memories Accepting the waves And waving goodbye Light soul touched and go Waving Waving Waving good things After monday Hey hey It’s just a rainy day And i’ve gone blue I thought you went away But it’s all right everything’s in sight I try to love you when i can When it’s all right to be the way i am When you’re not here everything seems clear I will love you when i am So cool just the way i can All right everything’s in sight today The sundays came to my room today I know i told ‘em to go away When you wake up it’ll be ok Hey hey It’s just a lonely day I was so sure Love would be the cure But you’ve gone wrong you used to play along I will love you when i am So cool just the way i can All right everything’s in sight today The sundays came to my room today I know i told ‘em to go away When you wake up it’ll be ok

A million times
We fell in love and we were caught Inside this game we call "together" And it felt good until we found We had more fun when we were strangers As blind, as blind can be Into the rain we run together Our heads all wet with love A million times, a million times I never heard your real thoughts With all the crying and the laughter And all the games we like to play That bring us once again together A million times, a million times We like to play the game all over And when we're done we'll start again A million times I think, I see what we do Yet I can't shake this bitterness You really hurt me when you leave me And then come home with open arms And a cool smile like nothing happened A million times, I'll take you back Ok we'll start the game all over And when we're done we'll start again A million times You can't leave me no not really We are happy with this misery So we'll start it all again A million times, a million times Magic neighbor

Indiana moon ( Lisa Germano on Hector Zazou - Strong Currents LP - 2004 )
I don’t know why the mountain Stands taller than the hill I don’t know how spiders Spin silver webs But i remember what you said to me Learn to creep before you walk Learn to think before you talk Learn to look before you jump Learn to sing before you sink I went up on the mountain To see what I could see The wind tears the old web down Dead bugs are lying next to me Then i remembered what you said to me Learn to walk before you fly Learn to talk before you start Learn to jump before you run Learn to sink before you cry Because the singers sing And the crooners croon About empty mornings And the indiana moon And the losers lose So you don’t write me anymore I want to Learn to fly before I crash Learnto start before I stop Learn to run before I crawl Learn to live before I die Learn to live before I die
Into the night
( Live Per - 2001 ) In the wrong time In the wrong place In the wrong mind Can't find the time Can't find the thoughts Can't find the signs Everything seems just as it seems Just as it seems Losing the feel Lost all the feel Of real things Close your eyes It's not a pretty sight and i'll tell you why It's not gonna be alright this time What not to see What not to hear What not to be When you begin Seeing your sins Seeing your sins
La parade ( On Yann Tiersen Album L'absente )
Another day to live Another way to go Nobody's in this room Nobody's here for now Wake up early I know it's too late To late for the parade Look at my feet Moving slowly I'm afraid it's over Naked A bit sleepy In my single room I open the door Call up call up the lift I wish I was in the parade Sometimes i feel my skin Sometimes i hear a voice "Please try to be friendly" But I'm too old inside I'm so jealous But proud to be An ordinary girl I'd like to talk But you know i hate All ordinary words Naked A bit sleepy In my single room I open the door Call up call up the lift
*** Thanx a lot to Becka for this one ***
Le meridien ( On Yann Tiersen Album L'absente )
Accross the river thames On a sunday morning The smell of the air A tiny noise Dark blades of grass Trees and big clouds Factory smokes And plastic balloons Moving around the meridian line And hearing from here Some silly jokes Familys strolls Children circles Couples kissing And grand'ma's sitting Today there's a frontier A big white line Today season's changing What's comming next Everything is in it's write place Today someone is missing This a point blank A little later On a sunday night Sitting on a train Under the sea Lights are flashing Speed and fat boys Computer's screens Smoking second classe No troubles here A safety place Drinking coffee In a plastic cup Wrinting postcards Nothing in mind All is quiet Under control Tonight there's a frontier A big white line Wright on the middle Of the channel Tonight I'm back in France What's comming next Tonight someone's missing This is a point blank
Making promises
( Currently Unreleased / Bside from the new album ) People think i'm such a mess It doesn't make any sense 'Cause i don't see That me I am just a fragment Of my imagination And what i see Is what i see I've got this thing with God and cigarettes Making promises, making promises Making promises People make me think of me As something i don't wanna be But i can't I can't be that Then they say i feel too much You're like a wine you shouldn't touch But i don't see The problem I've got this thing with God and cigarettes Making promises Making promises I don't believe those Bunch of broken hearts Give it up, give it up Making promises, making promises

The mirror is gone
( Taken from Cry Wolf EP - 1994 ) If i needed you Would you love me then Would you love me then If i needed you Would you love me more If i gave and gave and gave And gave and gave and gave And gave and gave Would you like me then If i had to lie And say "i need you Or i might die" If you leave again 'Cause nothing matters But you and you and you And you and you and you and you I'm nowhere Unless you are there too Well, that's no fair To put me below you You like me most When i fall down And can't stand up Unless you're around Forgive me But i'm learning learning And i can't see Your version of me The mirror is gone The mirror is gone Gone...
