about

Although main lyrics are in English, there is also a French verse, performed by bilingual David T-J in the style of Serge Gainsbourg. (All lyrics written by Pete Gioconda.)

lyrics

The sun resigns
The smile still shines
Words dissemble, clouds be quick
Love will flick a trick
The clock still ticks
My eyes now twitch
Turning slyly to wave goodbye

I want to see her
I want to be her
She is, she is
Queen of the future

Spasmic distortion
I’m twisted to be with you
Epic proportion calling up
My ounce of shreds
I’ve got to go to bed with you

I want to see her
I want to be her
She is, she is
Queen of the future

Together we will drink the sea
You will be a future queen
Together we’ll breathe the sky
And live off the earth we eat
Queen of the Future
We’ll burn and turn the sun
Our day will come

La mer nous servira à boire
Toi, tu seras la reine du coeur
La flamme éternelle qui tourne
Nous laissera bien vivre de nos terres
– Qu’elle vienne, la Reine du Futur

Where the circuits are spun
When the world is undone
But done with confusion
Done with confusion
With your lady
Bathe in the pool of union
And dry her hair under the sun

I want to see her
I want to be her
She is, she is
Queen of the future

The sun resigns ~ the smile still shines

about

Pete Gioconda image

Pete Gioconda London, UK

PETE GIOCONDA is a unique, edgy singer, a protest poet with penchant for historical reference. This mix of punk attitude and psychedelic-folk feel teases the audience to use their eyes ... like a Johnny Rotten (who hasn’t slept in four days) meets Times they are a-changin’-era Dylan and strolls into Cat Power’s bedroom for consolation. ... more
