{1990-91 demo recording digitized from cassette, edited, mixed and mastered}

lyrics

Every one counts
Every minute
We were introduced as friends
We'd never survive

If you say so
I've given up hope
Incompatible with your ways
Of life insurance and family

Two hemispheres removed
I still hear you hum that stupid tune
Your grandmother taught you
When you were young
But when, my dear
Were you every young?

You're sick, sick, sick
To want me so badly
What can I be to you
But tenement property?

I am the wayward son
No father would claim
My only goal, my only aim
Is to bring your kind to shame

Four hemispheres removed
I still hear you say love's not the same
As in the books you read
When you were young
But when, my dear
Were you ever young?

Were you ever young?

Then through the luggage detector
With one dumb-ass gesture
I left, and from your point of view
I'll never be seen again

I'll remain ever young
I'll remain ever young
Ever young!
Ever young!

I'm six hemispheres removed
And I still hear you hum that stupid tune

about

Myself a Living Torch San Francisco, California

By turns surreal, beautiful, arch, and melancholic, MaLT’s sonic adventures explore the meaning of love and role of sex in a failing, depersonalized culture. Literate enough for lasting relevance, tuneful enough for disposable pop; dark, sometimes heavy, but always with sly humor and a dash of hope. Active in SF CA between 1991 and 1993 ... Credit Louis-Ferdinand Céline for the incendiary name. ... more
