Rules of the game

Rules of the game  -  Pan Thistle, 2021

There are things you forget, things you remember
walking along a wind-battered pier
As you try to explain the Ides of September
you're slipping away, Winter Twilight

You wish father were here, a few tricks and a fable
the heart-warming smile made everything alright

And if the rain tells you about a ship that sailed,
you won't be angry or confused
Latent dues manifest in pain
Rule of the game
Win or lose, it's a passing phase
Rule of the game
Ain't no sad, no happy ending
Rule of the game

Tears in your eyes were desecrated
cancelled by the wounds you have inflicted on the Earth
Hot summer night, intoxicated
wild creature pack and jasmine in the air
when you joined the game...

but there are things I forget

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...
