Absent Friends

Absent Friends  -  Pan Thistle, 2018

Loaded, the Mad Trip of our youth
we set sail for worlds that never were
The parting of the waves came all too soon
It seemed wicked and unfair

You go out on Friday night
Snowball is out of sight
The Cult is gone, truths you can't avoid
There will never be another Paranoid

Absent friends will be there, tonight
a few jokes, a bottle of wine, yeah!
Just like old times

While some of us are still around
and others have already found
the worlds that never were
vivid memories are there
The old Quinta flame
Shock Waves in the sun..

Absent friends will be there, tonight
a few laughs, a bottle of wine
They will ease your mind

Slowly, a tense and bitter noon gave way
the wisdom of the smiling dusk
Raise a glass to absent friends and celebrate
the moments that never fade

Want to go for a wild ride, tonight
get into high gear, it's gonna be alright!
Just like old times

Losing Control Again

Losing Control Again  -  Pan Thistle, 2025 Losing my mind, losing my soul Ain't no way out of this man made hole Go round in circles, off the deep end Losing control again   Envelope face, envelope noise Rolling and shaking broken toys A Justice failed their own polygraph test Losing control again   And I would if you let me But you won't forget me   Smiling dictator, warfare state Men of the hour, iniquity gains Gaping loopholes in ethical traits I'm losing control again   Testing my faith, a deal with pain Tables are turned, I'm losing anyway A campaign of fear, sponsored by the state Losing control again   And I would if you let me But you won't forget me There! They are selling again The same Patent Fake concern They drive me round the bend   Weathering vessel caught in a storm - with no end We are unable to hold a course - Captain Where? Lightning stabs out of dark clouds - boiling overhead And I'm losing control again   Fine Nereides ...

PARTHENOGENESIS

PARTHENOGENESIS 4 July 2023 Parthenogenesis was born in the fall of 1978, but the story begins at a disco-club in Ilioupolis, Kanaria Sq. about a year earlier. At the time, it was normal practice for club owners to have one or more live rock nights during the week as the disco boys and girls went dancing on Fridays and Saturdays. It was on one of those week nights that I first met Alberto and George. Their group was called 'Airborne' and mine was 'Crystal Faces'. We had a good chat over a few beers and about a month later, I decided to leave 'Crystal Faces' and join 'Airborne'. For almost a year, we played mostly covers of popular rock songs. We also tried to write some prog-rock stuff of our own, we were all big 'Pink Floyd' fans, but it was not really working. Then, in the summer of 1978, after a falling out with the guitarist of the group, the three remaining members Alberto Levis, George Makridis, and myself (then, Takis Polychronopoulos...
