lyrics

when there’s nothing left to stock the shelves i’ll buy you a way out
far away from where you came from and where i still hang around
if i could i’d build you a house with yellow walls but we would drown
and nothing will grow in the garden when the garden knows that there’s nothing above the ground

i hope you find a world so wonderful you forget about
the way the world is spinning out of control and pulling us all down
to the bottom
with all the other rotten microcosms

when they’re selling us our air and we cannot afford to laugh
i will hold my breath so i can hear your spirit echo back
if i could i would react but they’ll say our joy is an attack
and everything good we could have had will be a discounted artifact

i hoped to find a world so wonderful we forgot that
they tried to spin the world out of control until we all crashed
to the bottom
with all the other rotten microcosms

What does "fuvk" mean in the first place? Well, find the letter "v" on a computer keyboard, and it will strike you immediately. An unusual name for an artist, and so is her music. I don't know from which corner of her head Shirley Zhu gets all of these splendid song ideas - but nevermind, I hope this source never runs dry. Sven B. Schreiber (sbs)

Each track has its own importance to life. A lyrical genius with a rhythm that only makes the message more present and real. Kusistency
