DON´T GIVE UP ON LOVE Have no fear of who you are. Sometimes the best things come back from the start of when you've been down too far and beat up by love it just gets harder to see the truth, like: there must be someone else who'll make you happy, there must be someone who'll tickle your toes there must be someone who'll brighten your smile when your soul's on its own, it'll only know its own bones. As your heart beats, don't give up on love if your heart breaks don't give up on love I'll be on my knees to make you happy. Sometimes a love song's just the light from a star sent to drown fears and dry up those tears of a heart sure it's seen it's use... There must be someone else who'll make you happy there must be someone who'll help with the lows there must be someone who'll brighten your smile... If your soul's on its own it'll only know its own bones. if your heart beats don't give up on love and if your heart aches don't give up on love if your heart bleeds don't give up on love if your heart breaks don't give up on love there must be someone who'll make you happy there must be someone who'll tickle your toes there must be someone who'll brighten your smile if your soul's on its own it'll only know its own bones as your heart beats don't give up on love and if your heart breaks don't give up on love if your heart bleeds don't give up on love if your heart aches don't give up on love

That's life 02:56
THAT'S LIFE Breathe in, breathe out Ya my heart can't take this. It's more the love you give than save for someone else they say; I've been fooled again, I've been knocked down again. How low is really low? please help me keep my soul. I don't care what they say because I'll find my ways to celebrate. It can't always be the same, can't always be pain, these days it rains so much Just smile at them and say: that's life that's life that's life You get born, you go on fighting. A, B, C, I am of use! There's a piece for me There'll be a piece for you. I want all of the lights on, my dreams will come true, but they'll hunt me down what ever I do 'cos ... I don't care what they say at all I'll find my ways to celebrate. It can't always be the same, it can't always be pain. These days it rains so much just smile at them and say: that's life that's life that's life You get born, you go on fighting..

Wrong 03:14
WRONG You took the money lit me up then burned the photograph I made believe to put it out you'd want me more You set me up then got away, I'm barely over that It's wrong Now honestly if you grow up you may not notice that a man will always be in fear for wanting blood. You may not want me 'cause some bank refused my overdraft It's wrong... I keep the tears from your cold heart you use as a punishment I don't have much I want a castle or a throne but nowadays they'll make a fool of you for just wanting that, It's wrong... To have a dangerous woman's heart is a drug that'll drive you mad, Or the same to swallow down a burning coal I guess you want that I'm a fool for you, I know it's bad It's wrong...

Sometimes 03:01
SOMETIMES I keep my dreams alive in these boyish hands I’m gonna do what I do, do what I can to appease the gods in their mighty place I’ll take one on the chin but I’m never gonna break I’d go all around the world today ‘cause I’m just looking for a way to endure myself I’m gonna open the doors, find all the bliss, or behold the power in a true love kiss ‘cause Sometimes it’s hard to be loved sometimes you gotta to let it out I’d go all around the world today ‘cause I’m looking for a way to enjoy myself, to fuel my fires but stay my hands, then no-one’s gonna take me for another man I’d go all around the world today, I see face that are lonely, I don’t want to be like them but I’m not enemy of God I keep my enemies inside so sooner of later I’ll know what it means to be alive Sometimes it’s hard to be love sometimes you’ve got to let it out

ONLY TIME WILL TELL So I was thinking on a kingdom where the romance worked, where she lifted up her veil before she hitched up her skirt We had time, we had soul, we were lithe and we were whole And I was thinking on a time before the bubble burst sooner or later you fight the devil's work, but I don't care. Now you're a winner or a victim or a doctor or nurse A villian or a hero or a slave to the purse, You're swimming in champagne or you're dying of thirst Weren't we all in this together for better or worse? Only time will tell just where we'll end up going around the bend Or be saved for something better So I was thinking of a time before the bubble burst Sooner or later you know that babies come first I don't care at all Now you're a killer or a soldier or a sailor or maid, A banker or a bin-man or a tailor or slave A taxman or a gypsy or you're dead in a hearse We're all in this together for better or worse Only time will tell...

SOME PEOPLE DON¨T GET ALONG I don't understand why some people don't care for a mouse or a man Yes, life feels good but be careful while baby's got her eyes on the loot. Don't get scared if some people don't care for what you want them to hear I'm just a guy I may be mis-understood but you give me no good reason to be bad or be good. It all boils down to the fact that we don't get long here It all boils down to the fact that some people just don't get along Keep on asking and I'll keep on trying... Take a break man life feels good, there's no reason to hold back all you do. Keep your eye on the prize because the more you dig the more reasons there are to hide, I'm just a boy who may be mis-understood but you give me no good reason to be bad or be good... Keep a smile on your face.

STABILIZE TO EXPLORE The more you dream about the road down to the sea the more the stuff of life fills the distance up between you and me It's only lonliness that hides beneath your pillow that I will stabilize to explore The more the river flows, the more your garden grows the higher the prices go that's proof they say your love grows older. We'll raise the curtain on the act that's yet to come and I will stabilize to explore how I adore you But who knows where the road gonna go? Only time Before the setting sun, Before the winter comes, if time knocks every wall then love they say comes to us all. It's only lonliness that hides beneath your pillow, if I must be crucified to be sure, I'll adore you. But who knows where the road's gonna go? Only time

SO IT HAPPENED So it happened, there was this vulture who was picking at the pieces of my flesh I took the long view and cast my light round not to burden him with kindness of the friends he'd never met, and I was happy but I was childish, trading on a vision that was lost I read the signs wrong and then his eyes shone He had me licking at my wounds and counting up the cost So it happened, there was this big man, he had the words and the beard and the smile. He broke the bread wrong, he turned my light down He expected all the glory for keeping me alive I got his long neck and I turned it into something I could love But how his eyes shone and how his lies stung so I got down on my knees and prayed to God above ..."send this one back and we'll send someone else for you" Liar! I fought the monster and I sent him back to hell

WHO ARE YOU AFRAID OF? There's more to this than meets the eye I've you plant the seeds to criticize I bet you, you want to see me fall and be wrong but I bet you there's still a million ways we could still get along... I should have left should have been right I should have made time to have been there I would have been a better lover Should have tried for some give and take shouldn't have lied should would have been mine I would have been a better brother Should have cried should have called back Should have fought back should have calmed down I should have found a little time should have this should have that should have been born black Should have never left London motherfucker Who do you think you are? Who am I and you to me, so who are you afraid of? Who d you think you are? Who decided you could preach? Who are you afraid of? So is this the whole deal? Are these all the things you want me to bring to the table? You've come to see me morally wrong, but you're the monkey on my back, I've got to stay strong... I should have called I would have come back I should have fought back should have found gold I would have been a little tougher I should have bought a gun then I wouldn't feel obliged to hear your lies all the time I should have tried to be more kind should have called foul should have lived right I should have tried a little crime Should have this should have that should have been born black Should have never left London motherfucker There's no mystery left...you stole the mystery left... Should have been this, should have been that...don't ever spend a penny for the monkey on you back Who do you think you are?

A MILLION WAYS There's a million ways to leave your lover but none suit you There's a million ways to burst her bubble so the air can rush through There's a million ways to keep her happy 'cause without you I'd have no excuse There's a million ways to shake a tree down but no tree can shake it's own roots There are binds in love, there are vines in love, crossed lines from where you'll run it's no use There's a million ways to leave your lover but none suit you There's a million ways to burst her bubble so the air can rush through There's a million chances for a smile, a million ways to roses from lines when the whole world kneels down before you There's a million ways to leave your lover but none suit you

THE ONLY THING ABOUT LOVE Well we had dreams and there were promises that we made in the light when there was beauty to behold but our lives were lead astray, our conscious did the same, some people bring you closer, others play at games I know all the all the lines I’ve seen all the signs, you may rush for the gold but in love they say fortunes favours the bold. The only thing about love is that you won’t get what you want if you don’t give better. We had dreams but there holes in the paths along the way then in time we just played games We’ll be painted on a wall, anointed just the same well some people bring you closer, others never change The only thing about love…you won’t get what’s yours if you don’t give better

about

SIMPLIFIRES Mexico City, Mexico

SIMPLIFIRES are an anomaly existing, writing and recording
in the vacuum that is Mexico City's contemporary RocknRoll culture.
The scene is vibrant and alive, but it is not suffocating or focused on any trend.
All sorts of music and life exists and passes through the megapolis that is
Mexico City and that's exactly what made it just the right place for
SIMPLIFIRES to incubate.
