about

The Desperate Show, qui donne son nom à l'album, est la pièce maîtresse de ce disque et nous promène dans un panel de styles: pop, rock, country et métal.

lyrics

The desperate show

You’ve come along to the desperate show
You’re come to see oh just how low
I can stoop, trying to fake
Being someone that you would find great

Now can you all look about here
To see the lamest show of the year
I’ll bend to really impossible shapes
to pass for one of them cool mates

So let’s pretend we’re all sincere
maybe it won’t be so so weird

Waving at friends, but they don’t know me
(Then) try to pretend I was stretching
or reaching for something
And disappear

Jumping a talk, they stare at me
(Then) rambling while I’m slowly
Moonwalking myself
Away from here

Too bad you could see me here
I’ve been invisible all year
No idea what got into me
Trying to belong to this party

I guess I think I need them to
Approve of me to talk to you
Because here I go again
Seems I don’t learn that much from pain

So let’s pretend we’re all sincere
maybe it won’t be so so weird

Waving at friends, but they don’t know me
(Then) try to pretend I was stretching
or reaching for something
And disappear

Jumping a talk, they stare at me
(Then) rambling while I’m slowly
Moonwalking myself
Away from here

Steer away, you might get hurt
If empathetic to introverts
You can hardly die from shame
But it really feels oh just the same

Oh let the freak show carry on
I really should have been long gone
Maybe someone be throwing in
A lifeline, no? Well I’m drowning

Guys carry on it’s not your fault
I really should not care for your
Opinion it’s crazy what you might
Do for a girl you think you like

Waving at friends, but they don’t know me
(Then) try to pretend I was stretching
or reaching for something
And disappear

Jumping a talk, they stare at me
(Then) rambling while I’m slowly
Moonwalking myself
Away from here

Mandragora Toulouse image

Mandragora Toulouse Toulouse, France

Une section rythmique comme fondation, des guitares fuzz, complémentaires et mélodiques, un chant unique et des textes introspectifs, donc universels, sont la définition de ce rock brûlant et sensible.
