Imaginary Lines 33

Imaginary Lines 33Released on September 9, 2009

Imaginary Lines 33 is a compilation album which is actually three albums in one. It includes the entirity of two previous releases, Imaginary Lines I in 2005 and Imaginary Lines II in 2007, plus several new and previously unreleased tracks. In all, its 33 songs have a combined running time of nearly two and a half hours.

This album came together when the project’s producer, Ric Albano, decided to abandon the originally-planned “trilogy” of albums because he did not feel there was enough quality material to make an adeguate Imaginary Lines III. Instead the focus shifted to enhancing previously released material and developing the better songs of the unreleased music.

1981
Lyrics
Look at me, look at me, look at the things I do
I’m not a Druid nor a Christian nor a Buddist nor a Jew.
You may think I’m a devil but you know that isn’t true
You may think that I’m evil but I’m not one of you.

I’m not one of you, I’m not one of you
Don’t try to understand me ‘cause I’m not one of you
‘Cause Satan is a pussy and God’s gonna kill him
‘Cause Satan is a pussy and God’s gonna kill him
‘Cause Satan is a pussy and God’s gonna kill him

I’m not a Baptist nor a Voodoo nor a Sergeant nor a whore.
I don’t study Krishna, I’m not rich but I’m not poor
You may think I’m a devil, you may think that my skin is blue
You may think I’m a monster but I’m not one of you

I’m not one of you, I’m not one of you
Don’t try to understand me ‘cause I’m not one of you
‘Cause Satan is a pussy and God’s gonna kill him
‘Cause Satan is a pussy and God’s gonna kill him
‘Cause Satan is a pussy and God’s gonna kill him

I don’t draw stars and I don’t use blood
You can think that I’m strong, you can think I’m a dud
You can think anything that you want to
But get this in your head – I’m not one of you

I’m not one of you, I’m not one of you
Don’t try to understand me ‘cause I’m not one of you
‘Cause Satan is a pussy and God’s gonna kill him
‘Cause Satan is a pussy and God’s gonna kill him
‘Cause Satan is a pussy and God’s gonna kill him

[audio:Hormoans/12-CaliforniaDreamin’.mp3]
1981
Lyrics
All the leaves are brown and the sky is gray
I’ve been for a walk on a winter’s day
I’d be safe and warm if I was in L.A.
California dreamin’ (California dreamin’) on such a winter’s day

Stopped in to a church I passed along the way
Well I got down on my knees and I pretend to pray
You know the preacher likes the cold, he knows I’m gonna stay
California dreamin’ (California dreamin’) on such a winter’s day
California dreamin’ (California dreamin’) on such a winter’s day

All the leaves are brown and the sky is gray
I’ve been for a walk on a winter’s day
If I didn’t tell her I could leave today
California dreamin’ (California dreamin’) on such a winter’s day
California dreamin’ (California dreamin’) on such a winter’s day
California dreamin’ on such a winter’s day
