Dummy 03:48
Dummy I shake the dummy Until it suddenly awakes So you wanna be afraid? You still want to be impressed It takes all your breath away Dummy I beg the dummy To dress nicely Dummy Shifting, fragile like the eyes That can see through you Whether you like it or not I can see through you Now open up the eyes and let it breathe

Coming out of the war The only one we're born for Bashing tv sets, running after cabs, proud of our cars I'm wasting my time Waiting in line Everyone at their best I've never heard of the rest Going out isn't free and having you near me Is not wasting my time Wasting my time Waiting in line Coming out of the war The only one we're born for Bashing tv sets, running after cabs, proud of our cars I'm wasting my time Waiting in line

Sleeping (free) 03:29
I’m so tired of this life Tired of this side of me I could never talk to God Never talk to us I’m free, I’m free Ohhh Ohhh I’m so tired of this life Too tired to decide for me I could never talk to love I never thought it was A dream, a dream Ohhh Ohhh I’m so tired of this life Tired of this side of me I could never talk to God Never talk to us I’m free, I’m free Ohhh Ohhh

Fly down, hit bounds From Rockefeller I slip a water balloon It took like Fifty seconds To get their New York heads Wet and surprised Had those USA firecrackers I called one of my friends Then we, dressed up a donut into a sugar bomb Oh lord! it all disappeared Whatever happens to the skies And when the movies are no lies Bang is no deadly word Just stay away from the subways Don't stand close to suspicious cars Move out into the country Get away, get away What about rock shows like Paul McCartney’s When he says "Live and let die" Big flames, come out high from the stage Clearly seen from a plane Anyway, anyhow we suffer little Until the sun blows us up Yeah baby If I can only see the morning After we all disappeared Whatever happens to the skies And when the movies are no lies Boom covers it all Just stay away from the subways Don't stand close to suspicious cars Move out into the country Get away, get away I’ll let you know when I blow (up like a) Symphony of debris I’ll let you know when I blow (up like a) A symphony of debris I’ll let you know when I blow (up like a) A symphony of debris I’ll let you know when I blow

I’m on my way Seal it inside Bloody marks shall suddenly know What I’ve planned I will stay in love I will stay in love I will stay in love I will, I will
6.
Nobody knows what I say Nobody wants to live this way Nobody, cries for me Nobody tries to save the world Which has been saved already pals Nobody, nobody It’s a love song for everyone Nobody reaches perfection Because they don’t know what this word means Nobody, just me Because our love is reflection Do this for me, you sweet person Nobody, nobody It’s a love song for everyone

Get your play, get your cause Catch her faith, stadium joke Graduated, e-mail pros Can you make it? He was getting closer Nobody told her That he was a freaking liar The plane was real Hours killed away Pretty lights, get you far A billion stores, same with floors Many faces, but no love She was waiting Guess who never came Nobody told her That he was a freaking liar She felt breeze Down her knees No way
8.
Not so long ago I was just a lonely man Losing faith over things that break Now I got myself a hell of a deal Her and me happy and it feels ok, but One lie, one lost All this love, undone Once you go there, They'll be no fun Be sure my friend I'll beat the charms Donne moi ta main One lie, one lost All this love, undone Prend ton élan On saute en bas Dans la confiance Dans l'insouciance Donne moi ta main

This House 05:11
You know, I started to feel pain When my toys all went away Hiding places got mislaid I know, behind is now much older Well my lady still is young Everybody’s gotta run ‘til I reach this house Something there Always there Makes me sad I miss this house You know, my heart is getting colder All the phonies on the streets Missing love that brings a home I know, despite the wood and brick walls Yes I’ve learned to get along Making soup or making songs ‘til I reach this house Something there
10.
Is, is that the end? Tell me please So i can bleed Falling knives Going down my soul My belly jams One cure for this Your love Your love ‘cause I'm still bleeding I'm still bleeding I'm still bleeding I'm still bleeding Tell me please And make it clear Yes I'm still bleeding Not believing But I'm still bleeding I'm still bleeding Tell me please The end is near
11.
Girl would you like me to leave, to leave my very dreams Get on a sofa so far somewhere with my stupid games No no, this ain't my story but surely it's really neat Geeks by the beach all playing role playing Microsoft games Why search for greatness in such tiny worlds of squared pixels Boy get out there, it's not fair, get a girl and touch a pair Get on a sofa so close to her you can smell her legs Now you wanna let go Now you wanna let go Now you wanna let go, go, go, go, go Yeah yeah yeah yeah Get inside my song Get inside my song Get inside my song

about

With Beautiful Explosion, Plajia radiates a very special energy, a certain kind of magic justified by its brit-pop influences and key words in their lyrics, sent like floating musical notes into your hearts and brains, which convey romanticism, melancholy and optimism, but also with hard-rocking, vibrant and catchy rhythms.

The title-track, Beautiful Explosion is the album’s first single. It’s also the last of the eleven recorded songs of the album; it was inspired by the fact that if explosions are often reported in the news, they can also be joyous, festive and playful! Musically, the album is influenced by the British-pop compositions of the 60’s and 70’s icon groups, often with a psychedelic and progressive twist.
