Strange Days 03:46
STRANGE DAYS Around the world and back once more We still don’t know what we’re looking for Wrong or right but who can tell When thoughts are just a thing to sell. Strange days indeed These are strange days indeed Caught in the middle of million unspoken words. Soak up the news and get it stored Don’t tell me dude, you’re feeling bored. The more you get the less you know Sometimes it's hard to sort the sheep from the goats. And so I wonder What she’s trying to say She says “I love you” But that’s the price we have to pay Day by day. Strange days indeed…

WHERE ARE YOU NOW And if I’d say what’s deep inside me It’s just what makes me slightly Going crazy Would you mind to waste your time Would listening be a crime Nothing to save me From the backyard of my pain I feel like going down the drain But they shake their heads in disbelief. So where are you now That I dare to show my weakness You got lost somehow On my way through mists of sand So where are you now The years they've left their marks in my eyes I’ve learned to see through the lies People tryin’ to tell me I sorted crisis out for myself But now I feel like being left on the shelf Thrown away Caught in a self-forged cage Cause life had turned another page I shake my head in disbelief. So where are you now...

KEEP THE DISTANCE I thought you'd be the one To understand what's going on But I've think you've lost control About what's happening with your soul It took me way too long To fix the things that kept me strong You're a magnet for disappointment No love, no trust, no goal. You gotta keep the distance You're far too much involved You gotta keep the distance The question how to keep love gotta be solved. I wonder how you stand The days of closeness for so long Behind the words you say The boredom's ready for a kill To believe you're something special That's where I went so wrong That soulmate thing was something Forcing me to pay the bill. You gotta keep the distance... So don't you think you have more pull You'd rather realize You can bustle around as much as you want At last I stopped to care Maybe there'll be someone else To cut you to size To treat me like a fool Is simply unfair.

AIN`T NO RULES It doesn`t matter How far I travel Can`t forget her face. It doesn`t matter How hard I try Can`t get out of this maze. If you wanna act in most peculiar ways Be sure you know how to play that game Because there are Ain`t no rules It ain`t got no rules Ain`t no rules But you keep on mistreating every advice. For me it doesn`t matter She`s so damned close to you I told you so. Running in circles And in the wings You know she won`t let you go. If you wanna be the one who breaks out. Be sure you know what it`s all about. Because there are …

THE WALLS COME TUMBLING DOWN Heaven knows What I came here for Heaven knows It’s all in vain I can’t recall the reasons why you’d asked for more Long, long, long before you caught the train. And now you tell me it’s getting better You’ve banned the demons from your life But sorry, I think it doesn’t matter That there was a time I called you my wife. I will stay apart Because I really feel the lions still lie in wait. And so I won’t be near just to realize That the walls came tumbling down Not a second time inside this house of lies While the walls came tumbling down It took me long enough just to lose my ties. After all this time it’s not so easy To keep the memories off my mind I reached the point to keep me blind For the temptations from your side. I will stay… And so I won’t be near…

I Don't Mind 03:38
I DON`T MIND Just a headline for one day And after then I’m blown away I learned it’s hard to keep control When only love rules your soul. Because everywhere could be the place A place that you’d call home A place to be alone Wherever we may roam. I don’t mind When the world turns upside down I don’t mind When the world turns upside down. A thousand times and so much more Who knows what we were looking for It seems to me just a waste of time Love turned out to be a crime. Because everywhere ... I don’t mind ...

FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE The more you shout The more you're heard No one cares about the truth. The more you take These things for real The less you need to leave your booth. You're going down Yeah you're going down. You built a wall That's made of doubt Are your friends still close to you? What happened to Your open mind Only you decide what is true. You're going down Yeah you're going down. But it ain't right For heaven's sake what have we become It ain't right. "A fact's a fact!" But that was yesterday Too many skins around the core. Modern witches getting burned again And the crowd is screaming out for more. You're going down...

YOU DID NEVER TRY Your distorted face on a mirror ball Acting like the answer to Cthulhu's call You let us dance with bleeding feet Seduced by a most delusive beat. Along your path who counts the wounded Along your path paved with skulls. But as the days go by You may ask yourself why You never really changed The way you treat those lives You did never try Until the day you'll die. You pretend to be the hope For the left-behind – for every dope. Always bending and selling the truth Only you can tell a lie from fake-news. Where's your point of no return? Is there a question of your concern? But as the days go by... Everything ends up in growing madness Everybody's going to lose control Every now and then a glimpse of sadness But even so you sold your sold. But as the days go by...

It's Just Me 04:36
IT´S JUST ME Did you ever think about the one Who hides his fears behind that door inside? Did you ever think about what I said When I said the time is right? I don`t really care When everything I share with you Will be misunderstood. You don`t need to argue What you love or hate Just keep the things You want to be the truth. As you can see It`s just me I don`t expect you to agree. Those words I say The chords I play You don`t need to understand But it`s just me. Did you ever thought my little world Has not a hint of sex`n drive? Don`t you ever think I`m not afraid Of leaving softly what I thought should be my life? I don`t really mean To support your dream What I say is what I mean. Can`t you sometimes see My foolish grin behind the lines You want to be the truth.

ALWAYS OUT OF REACH At the crossroads of life it’s hard to tell Which one’s the way our souls to sell Wrong or right is still a point of view But though I know I just don’t know what to do. She caught me in the days of my life’s noon And I feel I’m dancing to a different tune I try to keep my mind right in it’s place But common sense will get lost without a trace. I can’t stand the pain To know it’s all in vain She will be always out of reach. Switchin’ off my mind To keep myself so blind She will be always out of reach. I thought I knew what life has in it’s sleeve But she sneaked into my life just like a thief I’m afraid my good times never been so bad What I’m in will surely drive you mad. I can’t stand the pain…

about

Sebastian Teufel and Christian Urban, formerly members of Yellow Jumps Twice, founded THE FINE CHAIRS in August 2021. During a period of seven weeks, from June until mid-July 2021, they recorded an 11 song LP, with a little help from some friends as guest musicians. The album delivers a clean, pure, sometimes rather rough sound that mainly features Sebastian's acoustic guitar. Supported by strong drums and bass performance, Christian's electric guitar shines in rough brightness. Every song cuts right to the chase, and Sebastian's vocal, reminding some of Richard Butler (Psychedelic Furs) and Peter Murphy (Bauhaus), brings the perfect depth to every tune on the album. The album release will be September, 1st 2021.
