LOUD CONSPIRACY

Music: Andrea, Lorenzo
Lyrics: Andrea
Overweight princess, lonely real nerd,
Self-taught musician, barfly,
Old guy in the back with tattoos on the neck,
Dark minded, dark dressed chick.
Failed music blogger, sweet good old friend,
Dazed kid at his very first show,
Little Riff Randell, misfit, black sheep,
Russian guys, glad that you’re here
Let’s go!
D-list celebrity with uncommon taste
Trucker-hat dork, metal man,
crowd surfer, yes that’s your favorite song
Gibberish-singalong guy.
Beauty queen fallen in the wrong crowd,
Dude that keeps throwing bad jokes
Dear brother pointing at the sky or the ceiling
Ten minutes after you puked.
Let’s go!
Ally:
We’re gonna shout it out loud, have the time of our lives
Gonna celebrate failure and remember good times
Make fools of ourselves as the sound waves rise
All right, all right, all right
Lorenzo:
We will remember the past but forget all the lyrics
Soundtrack of our lives, there’s no deep meaning
A thousand t-shirts and a bunch of good songs
all right all right all right
all right all right all right
Turn up the volume tonight
Turn up the volume tonight
Turn up the volume tonight
Turn up the volume tonight

FAVORITE FAMILY

Music: Lorenzo, Andrea
Lyrics: Andrea
Milk and cookies, naked groupies, aim for greater good
We’re not gonna hurt you, we’re not gonna hurt you
Candy sheets and acid trips and evil music too
We’re not gonna hurt you, we’re not gonna hurt you now
Party hard and lose your speech
We’re in control
Your latest family
Is gonna keep you strong
There’s drugs and boobies in the pool
And it’s all yours
Your brand new family
Is gonna fix your world
Charlie says he doesn’t surf but sure, he can write songs
We’re not gonna hurt you, we’re not gonna hurt you
Charlie stinks, he might be danger, but it’s all good news
We’re not gonna hurt you, we’re not gonna hurt you now
Your bandmates won’t let you be free
And happy
While these young girls
Will give you everything
There’s drinks and flowers in the pool
And it’s all yours
Your favorite family
Is gonna fix your world
Your favorite family, we got your back

SAYONARA SUMMER

Music: Alex, Andrea
Lyrics: Andrea
A taste of salted skin
Little drops of happiness
Hooray for the bottle we shared
Sayonara summer
Goodbye, summertime
Here comes a special night
I’ve been waiting for so long
Sweet chills
and little drops of happiness
Breaking rules, let’s do it together
Sayonara summer
Goodbye, summertime
It’s just feeling right
I’ve been waiting for so long
To be with you
Cause if we like it
We better take it, baby
To be with you
Cause if we make it
We’ll never break it, baby
When the morning comes
We don’t have to run away, this time
Universe turns sweet
Let the silence speak
Sayonara Summer
Hello beautiful
Just a little shame
I’ve been waiting for so long
To be with you
Cause if we like it
We better take it, baby
To be with you
Cause if we make it
We’ll never break it, baby
To be with you
Cause if we like it
We better take it, baby
To be with you
Cause if we make it
We’ll never break it

MARTIANS, GO HOME!
Music and lyrics: Lorenzo, Andrea
You don’t know, but you’ve been here once before
red lights were flashing, I've never felt so insecure
Don’t you know what I have seen, think about it
Can’t forget what I have done, I dream about it
And now the district's on a roll
Since you left I took control
It’s time to face what I’ve been hiding for so long
You gotta go home
Gotta go home
Gotta go home
Martians, go home
If you want to stay alive
You gotta go home
Gotta go home
Gotta go home
Martians, go home
There’ll be no mistakes this time
Well, I was an officer, my name is on the blue book
Prescriptions for these drugs, you’re free to take a look.
Don’t you know what I have seen, think about it
Can’t forget what I have done, I dream about it
And now the district's on a roll
Since you left I took control
It’s time to face what I’ve been hiding for so long
You gotta go home
Gotta go home
Gotta go home
Martians, go home
If you want to stay alive
You Gotta go home
Gotta go home
Gotta go home
Martians, go home
There’ll be no mistakes this time
I won’t miss you martians, so long
I won’t miss you martians, so long

WALKING TALKING HAWKING
Music: Lorenzo
Lyrics: Andrea, Lorenzo, Jimmy Vapid
Walkin talkin rollin rockin
Holdin hands, takin’ off
Kiss you for the thousandhts time
Go where the water meets the land
bury our feet in the sand
Lose my train of thoughts, watchin yours eyes shine
Let's go to the bottom of the sky
the top of this volcano's high
Deep breath, the fun just begin
And when the sun is going down
I know you'll still be around
let the air penetrate our skin
I guess there's no God in the sky up above
but look at those stars and infinite worlds
The couple of steps we could take from this place to the clouds
That’s all I can wonder about
Walkin talkin in the mornin
sight and sound of the wild
I know you'll be runnin off track
Let's make it to that big red tree
That is where we find our peace
Eat, love, sleep and never go back.
I guess there's no God in the sky up above
but look at those stars and infinite worlds
The couple of steps we could take from this place to the clouds
That’s all I can wonder about
Oh Oh, all I wonder
Hey Girl, all I can wonder about

IT’S ALRIGHT
Music: Andrea
Lyrics: Andrea, Jimmy Vapid
Last night we ended up kissin’
And now things are a little weird
But no, I don’t regret this
I’ll have a few more beers
Let’s go surfin
And forget about last night
I don’t know i don’t care
It’s all right
The future doesn't look good
I wanted everything
Some things I wish that I could
Just give them another swing.
It’s time to go home
Or just stay up all night
I don't know I don't care
It’s all right
At the secret spot
The guys are smoking pot
Maybe I could join the gang
But I don’t give a damn

TREEHUGGER
Music: Alex, Lorenzo, Andrea
Lyrics: Andrea, Jimmy Vapid
Space is big
Bigger than your thoughts
Life is short
Make it a piece of art
Chase your dreams
Remember you might fail
Enjoy humans
Have lots of fun
Walk your talk
Support your scene
Play your own three chords
The scene will support you
Keep away from all kinds of hate
And never stop laughin’ at yourself
And go look outside
Look outside
Look outside now
Walk outside
Walk outside
Walk outside now
Read, learn, dance, and party hard
Respect all animals, even the tasty ones
Keep away from all kinds of hate
And be romantic, and true to your soulmate
Men and women, young and old, It is time to put down your phone, throw away that slim cafe latte, get out of your car and breath some unconditioned air. Soak up some sun, swim the waters, and heal your broken spirit, because hope is in the air and love is in the house. It’s time to give and give plenty. Hold someone’s hand, and let yourself be held. Make quality of life something real, don’t just be satisfied with what you have. Strive to become worthy of anything you desire. Let the sun follow you places you’ve never seen, where first kisses can happen over and over again. Keep your dignity in your front pocket and keep your dream alive, cause it’s ok to be a dreamer. Stand tall and let no one strip you of self respect. Because life is a dangerous game, my friend. So wake up and give yourself a chance to live!

MAI TAI
Music: Lorenzo
Lyrics: Andrea
Oh oh oh no
I’m just having a good time
Sanitize a troubled life
King of the fools in this dive bar
Like I’m the bad guy
Might be kinda losing track
Checkin out this woman’s rack
It looks like she’s into me
But it’s a blurry night
You never said I should’ve stayed, I had no reason to
Fresh breeze was coming from the beach, while I kept forgiving you
Tropical flowers, sunscreen, strawberry, lemonade
Look at the damage of our pride, everything’s broken
Mai Tai
Up all night
Took the arrow from this heart of mine
I wish I knew what to do
I’ll never know what to do
I wish I knew what to do
Don't wanna do it with you
Not coming back to you
I told this lady too
Oh oh oh no

BOMBORA GUYS (THE WAVES ARE CALLING)
Music: Andrea
Lyrics: Andrea, Francesco Aldo Fiorentino
The brave surf world
Is not for wise guys
It’s 100%
A reason to live
A reason to die
Let your feelings shine
Make a single wish
To live a free life
The waves are calling
As the sun comes up
Girls are chewing
Pink bubblegum
Half full tank
Winds are touching the sand
Live in a van
With surfboards on top
Laugh our way to a secret spot
Bombora guys
In a nomad way
And guess what?
Hodads and kooks
Locals, old school
Here they come again
Popsicles melt
The dudes are back
Til they’ll go again
And look for coastal waves
And live a free life
A reason to live
A reason to die
Let your feelings shine
Sail ahoy
All the way, boys
Flows like poetry
I know that’s how you feel
Make a single wish
To live a free life
To live a free life
Oh oh yeah

I WILL BE THERE
Music: Lorenzo
Lyrics: Andrea
Our common enemy lies in a lazy sunday
It’s a computer crashing, a walk in the park, or too much beer
When you say it’s allright but you mean that you’re pissed
Monsters hide in dark corners while we share a kiss, what did we miss?
Could be a life of sorrow
Might be the sweetest thing
I will be there
I will be there
To ease the pain in your life
And rub your shoulders at night
I will be there
I will be there
Darlin’, the game just got tough
Are you on our side?
Dear friend, show your compassion
It’s time to be kind
Our common enemy lies on the grass of our lawn
In an unopened envelope, in expired food, in a photograph
Pick a phone call up, walk to another room
When the cat is coughing it just looks like it’s dying, but it’s ok
Could be a life of sorrow
Might be the sweetest thing
I will be there
I will be there
To ease the pain in your life
And rub your shoulders at night
I will be there
I will be there

LIFE IS GOOD TODAY
Music: Andrea, Lorenzo
Lyrics: Andrea
Wake up, the night is over
Warm water in your face, these waves are fine
Their beat is not slowing down
And you know you won’t be around
When all your stuff will be found
On the floor
You left them dying inside
And found a good place to hide
That train has left the station
With your whole generation
Now don’t run, enjoy those fine things
You know you’re really worth caring about
Their beat is not slowing down
And you’re glad you won’t be around
When all your stuff will be found,
On the floor
Your life is all that you have
When you smile you don’t pretend
Those scars are all that is left
In the end
They’re only tryin to survive
Good morning, yes sir, goodbye
That train has left the station
With your whole generation
You left them dying inside
And found a good place to hide
That train has left the station
With your whole generation
