No twenty, no
Take it to go
A single whoa
Down, boring sound
All day aloud
So predictable
Have a mystery charity
You can send it off all you wished for
And your bling, bling, bling
Bling, bling, bling
In a teen bakery scene
Melting away
Rip currents sway
Teen bakery scene
As past glory fades
Past glory fades away
Slow order show
Make it all count
Not impossible
Squeeze, pastry squeeze
Hate when it snows
In the afterglow
Have a mystery charity
You can send it off all you wished for
And your bling, bling, bling
Bling, bling, bling
In a teen bakery scene
Melting away
Rip currents sway
Teen bakery scene
As past glory fades
As past glory fades
Fades away
Fades to gray
Melts away
Demented delights

Ignoring life
It’s a simple journey
When it’s back to basics
Hark the angels
Enough of flights
Coming in outta here
If the simplest of all deejays
Play the best tunes to hear
You can invest all of your money
With nothing in return
Yet you can invest all your weekend
With happenings every turn
Know what’s right
In the middle of wrong
Just a vicious cycle
Turning round and round
Heavens above
Hells fire soujourn
It’s a miracle
A miracle we could still burn
Vicious cycles around
Vicious cycles around, oh
You can invest all of your money
With nothing in return
Yet you can invest all your weekend
With happenings every turn
Lalalala

Ciancia, it’s getting tough
Down on faces, outta luck
Ciancia, you’re getting out
You’ll find a way somehow
Ciancia, oh anyway
It’s a tough crowd I gotta say
Gonna find you out when you least appear
To disappear
Into the shady shade
Of winters grey
Osterstrauss, it’s wonderful
Host you here, with the crowd
Osterstrauss, so you’re getting out
You’ll find someplace somehow
Oh, Osterstrauss, how did you know?
When things got bad
You hid the lot
It’ll come back full circle stop
If you believe in me
And take charge of situation
It will be all taken care of
Thru the hard times
You go straight, straight to the show
Ciancia, it’s getting tough
Down on faces, outta luck
Ciancia, you’re getting out
You’ll find a way somehow
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh

Talk about what you can
Talk about love
Talk about forever
Everything under sand
Whats about this
What about the other
Talk about what you plan
What you plan
Everything under the sun
In the desert lots of fun
Everything under the sun
You can burn it once you’re done
Talk about what you can
Talk about love
Talk about forever
Everything under stand
What about this
What about the other
Everything seems so grand
So grand
Everything under the sun
In the desert lots of fun
Everything under the sun
You can burn it once you’re done
Everything under the sun
In the desert everything’s done
So done

about
Thirty minutes. A dozen songs. Ex Norwegian's album No. 13 brings it. The aptly titled Spook Du Jour, faithful to its tuneful and irreverent brand, features the moody art rock of "Thot Patrol," alongside songs like "Burn It" and "Vicious Cycles," which have their roots in Bowie and the Velvet Underground.
Ex Norwegian, created by band mainstay Roger Houdaille, has provided quirky lyrics combined with an eclectic approach for 15 years.
With a wide variety of songs - from the driving glam-meets-Krautrock of "For Your Conveniences" to the Bolan-esque "Ciancia," and "Teen Bakery" which could perfectly fit on an early 90's alt rock mixtape.
Its straightforward instrumentation and organic arrangements create a vintage rock vibe that has enough freshness and individuality to stand out.
Melodies flow effortlessly and chords fall where they should. The album also breaks out of the expected formula with compositions like "Paging Lisa" and the album's finale "Center Mario", which remind listeners that the band is not immune to strangeness.
