[hometext] => Actually, it's the lyrics of a song that was shortlisted for BBC Word Service Next Big Thing Competition in late 2006. The project bore the name SERPANTIN which was composed of the first letters of the band members' names.
[bodytext] => Going solo, no one else to follow Lonesome heroes, facing empty mirrors Looming figures, fingers on the triggers Lurking monsters, devilish impostors *** Wheels screech and the car goes tumbling over Nobody’s going to survive the fall Blood streams flush the brain and cause hangover Horror movies, nightmare ravings, letters on the wall *** Chorus: I feel cheated and mistreated And there’s nothing I can do If I could stop the game And let myself recover from the blow This search for love has ended now And it has been no use Used to try to chase The phantoms in the night *** Hidden treasures and forbidden pleasures Ancient sculptures, carrion-eating vultures Secret chambers, diamonds, pearls and ambers Magic healers, mystery revealers *** Slow down, there’s no need for us to hurry But life is short, our time is running out Look up, watch the stars and please don’t worry Don’t try to lock me up, to hold me down, to leave me out The story’s coming to an end, goodbye, my friend. *** Chorus: (x2) I feel cheated and mistreated And there’s nothing I can do If I could stop the game And let myself recover from the blow This search for love has ended now And it has been no use Used to try to chase The phantoms in the night...
