    Weirdo Love is a concept CD, most of the songs on it contain tales of the lovers not often sung about. Inspired from the characters Klara & Neville of the book Ponopolis (ISBN-10: 1591099161) which tells the story of two lovers trapped in the hell of their own obsession. A handful of lyrics about the fun at heart, the creepy, destructively obsessed, and the insane – and all of them have one thing in common, in their own haunting and freaky way, and like most of us, they need love: Weirdo Love.

Hey! Where's Uncle Al Guess he's hiding from you Hey! Where's Uncle Al Guess you don't have a clue Think he's hiding down in that cellar room Far far from the likes of you He just don't know your kind of boogie Don't know nothing new – don't have a clue He'd rather slam – he'd rather jam That old fool and his old-school moves Than dance with all them kids Eccentric queens in their electric shoes Hey! Where's Uncle Al Guess he's hiding from you Hey! Where's Uncle Al Guess you don't have a clue Hey! Where's Uncle Al

Sadi Queen 02:13
lyrics

Met her in the park just the other day She turned her head, and called to me Looked in her eyes, couldn’t look away Until she smiled, broke my heart in-two She took me home that very first night Almost beat me to an inch of my life She’s a mean mean Queenie Oh how I love that girl Went on like this for several days Blood, fun, and a whole lot of pain Couldn’t take no more, had to walk away She said: you’ll be back, just you wait She’s a mean mean Queenie Oh how I love that girl No one knows the struggle I felt Closed the door and left her life The wounds healed, the scars remained I lie alone and traced the past Thought long about my girl She was right and I’d be back She’s a mean mean Queenie Oh how I need that girl She’s a mean mean Queenie Oh how I love my girl I know what I am And I know - that’s my girl Until the end of time

Sliding down to the bottom here She don't care as she turns on her leer My heart stops, her lips part – she's smiling I've been hiding, hiding down here But she found me, she could smell the fear She looked ready, she looked sincere It's just a little slight Won't you come out tonight You know and I know Can't run away It's just my destiny A little ecstasy I've been waiting here, feels like all my life I've been waiting here and tonight is ripe Here she comes, here she comes again It's just a little slight Won't you come out tonight You know and I know Can't run away It's just my destiny A little ecstasy You know and I know Can't run away It's just my destiny A little ecstasy

Rotting in a Time Zone 03:42

Hanging on down by the corner of 5th and Main Sweet sweat and twenty dollars nothing to cop and complain You try to push a fool 'cause it's so hard to think He don't care – not at all Nothing to do and nothing to say 'Cause they put the squeeze every time You try to Move – so why be the jerk He don't care, he's a dude, a rebel without a clue Picking it up, laying it down, and walking away, just to be cool They said it'll never work, yeah, the brothers in the stir always like a new bitch You got nothing to hide, when you're deep inside - can't put the blame on me Whoever it is somehow someway gonna be somebody in a dream But for now, it's - rotting in a time zone He don't care, just playing it cool, he ain't no fool Leave it alone, leave it alone, leave it here to die Picking it up, laying it down, and walking away, just to be cool They said it'll never work, yeah, the brothers in the stir always like a new bitch You got nothing to hide, when you're deep inside - can't put the blame on me Mama was poor, papa was a square, but they didn't raise no fool Raised your fist to show them, who is who - but they know the game and it's always the same Leave it alone, leave it alone, leave it here to die

Laughing at the rain Gonna see it through Laughing at the rain Smiling like we're insane There's a word stuck Just under my soul Like to pull it out It's a nasty a thorn Hey hey hey now Laughing at the rain Sitting way up high In a mojo world Next to my lover Pulled back tight Feeling frisky Feeling fine Looking at the folks Running around blind Hey hey hey now Laughing at the rain Hey hey now Laughing at the rain I am standing At the window pane I've been calling your name Can you hear it Can you see it Can you feel those chains We are standing In the fringe Laughing at the rain Hey hey now Hey hey Laughing at the rain

You Got That Love 02:37

I've been walking these streets a little saturated Dreaming 'bout the time it weren't so frustrated Can't feel it mine, can't leave it behind Gonna be just you, yours, and mine Feeling fine, that's right, to the end of time You got the love, baby You got that love You got the love, baby I've been blind this past yesterday But now I see clearly any-a-ways Thought about walking up saying hey Like before, you'd just blow me away You got the love, baby You got that love You got the love, baby When that pain gets too much And the need begins to bleed I'm gonna set you free Two-feet deep, buried in concrete Down in the Cellar, you can be mine Gonna be together to the end of time You got the love, baby You got that love You got the love, baby

Weirdo Love 03:59
lyrics

Who's going to know Where the treasures are hidden Who's going to see Where the shadows are grown If I love her true She'll sing my song We're going to grow It's going to seem We're going to throw All of the dreams We're going to be Weirdo Lovers The waves go And then come hither The circles close Before their time The bells toll Like hidden chimes And then we go Or so it seems To the show Of old screams And here we are Weirdo Lovers Our dreams are here Weirdo love We have no fear Weirdo love Weirdo love

about

Two Dudes, two guitars, one acoustic, one electric: Johnny & Nico have been around the Nuremberg music scene in various bands for a long time (including Blue Manner Haze, Mad Tongues, and several others). Johnny had an idea, Nico wanted in; Weirdo Love is the result.

Weirdo Love is a concept CD, most of the songs on it contain tales of the lovers not often sung about. Inspired from the characters Klara & Neville of the book Ponopolis (ISBN-10: 1591099161) which tells the story of two lovers trapped in the hell of their own obsession. A handful of lyrics about the fun at heart, the creepy, destructively obsessed, and the insane – and all of them have one thing in common, in their own haunting and freaky way, and like most of us, they need love: Weirdo Love.
