Black Rain 05:04
If you think I dream a lot, understand me If I don’t believe in Gods, understand me I feel insecure I need to explore The things that I own just give me a bore (CHORUS) ‘Cause I’m drowning in the black rain ‘Cause I’m drowning in the black rain Don’t advise me to be patient ‘cause you know I’m not If you think I’m greedy tell me who the hell is not I’m running so fast I’m flying away No future no past I just live for today (REPEAT CHORUS) It’s falling, It’s falling down It’s falling, It’s falling down
2.
You claim that love will prevail, as long as passion remains in your heart. That makes you stronger I bleed everytime I think of all those wasted years Can I please lean on your shoulder (CHORUS) And I need you to talk with me, I feel like a burning tree You see that my life is getting shorter, I’m getting older (X2) You claim that time can heal the pain but I shiver in the rain and I’m so frightened by the thunders I feel inside of me a chill like blades made of steel cutting deep and I feel colder (REPEAT CHORUS)
3.
At the moment of truth you keep on lying Though the rhythm is smooth you just can’t dance At the moment of truth you still don’t have the answers At the sunset of youth you act like a child You feel so frustrated, you feel isolated Kinda stimulated, terrified but mostly hated At the moment of truth I don’t believe a word you say At the sunset of youth you’re still a child At the moment of truth you just don’t have the answers Though the rhythm is smooth you don’t dance Life is just a fairy tale magic is its part Life is such a foolish game take as it comes Life is like the ocean, so sail Life is like the ocean At the moment of truth you keep on lying Though the rhythm is smooth you still can’t dance At the moment of truth you just don’t have the answers At the sunset of youth you’re still a child

I’ve been around, I’ve been up, I’ve been down I got out, I got lost, I got found and had a pretty weird feeling today run away, run away, run away Αt the time you feel perfect and strong, then everything goes perfectly wrong. There is really not much to explain. Run away, run away, run away (CHORUS) Have you ever fallen in love? Was it really worth it at all? Did you lose your mind? Would you do it again? No, no, no, no Have you ever fallen in love? Did you end up drinking alone? Did you lose yourself and got nothing in return? No, no, no, no Well I took my foot off the brake, I keep on making the same mistake. But If I’d do it all over again I’d ran away, run away, ran away Like a castaway washed up on the shore, love’s the only boat I’m waiting for. But my friend the question remains Anyway, anyway, anyway (REPEAT CHORUS) And have you caught yourself crying (your eyes out)? And have you ever felt like dying out of emptiness? (REPEAT CHORUS) Well, I certainly would my dear!!!

You know I woke up today with a certain feeling You know the kind of feeling that everything is gonna be fine I put on my walking shoes, ran out in the country Sucked the love around me. Εverything is gonna be fine There is just one thing I know for sure hard times come and go It’s impossible to know where or when good luck will find you baby. Somewhere out there it might be mine, misery is such a waste of time. Everything is gonna be fine REPEAT CHORUS There’s a world to explore, open up its doors Life is such a perfect dance floor. So put your hands in mine and let’s dance entwined. Everything is gonna be fine

The times I had money it was never enough. Now I ain’t a penny but I don’t give a fuck I don’t mind. I really don’t mind My friends call me crazy, I love them for that In fact I’m lazy but I don’t give a fuck I don’t mind. I really don’t mind. I don’t mind anymore CHORUS cause If I’m down on April, I’ll be up on May I’ll leave it all behind and move on my way And If there’s something missing, driving me insane I’ll hold on for tomorrow and say farewell to sorrow In case that you wonder what is wrong with my life That cheap propaganda is not even my style I don’t mind. I really don’t mind. I don’t mind anymore REPEAT CHORUS
7.
Fate, I’m losing my faith I’m cursing your name I’m breaking the chains Fate I’m out of this race I’m leaving this place I’m breaking the chains (CHORUS) Long gone fathers and irrational mothers made me feel this way, feel this way Ruthless brothers and passionless lovers led me into the fray, into the fray Fate, I’m losing my faith I’m cursing your name I’m breaking the chains Fate I hate your embrace I spit on your face I’m breaking the chains (REPEAT CHORUS)
8.
Hey you, have you found somebody new? Does he love your laughter too? Does he like your last tattoo? Hey you, have you filled the empty space? Do you stare at empty frames? Do the poses still remain unforgettable all these years? Untouchable and crystal clear? Even somehow disappeared CHORUS Didn’t know that our lives would change like this Didn’t know that ourselves would change like this Didn’t know it was over, until it was over Didn’t know that our love would change like this Didn’t know that our world would change like this Didn’t know it was over, until it was over Hey you, have you made a brand new start He found a shortcut to your heart Just a hectic aftermath Hey you, I think I’ve learnt my lesson well I’ve escaped from my own cell Does my voice ring a bell? (REPEAT CHORUS)

Two Years 03:38
When I look into your eyes no good memories come to mind. You see I loved ya, I told ya sometime ago You hurt me, you spent me, you let me go. You fucked up my feelings and now you’re back in tears It’s been two years Too sad it’s late for tears Two years. Two years When I look into your eyes I see a devil in disguise ‘Cause I’ve been cryin’ and tryin’ to find myself. Been lyin’ and hidin’ from all of the world I won some I lost some, now you crawl back in tears It’s been two years Too sad it’s late for tears Two years. Two years It’s much too late for tears. It’s much too late for tears It’s much too late for tears. It’s much too late It’s much too late for tears, you just blew it all away You say “mon Dieu”, I say “adieu” In other words goodbye When I look into your eyes no good memories come to mind.

What d’ you do when you’re falling apart? Does your ego laugh at your fears? Do you feel like you’re trapped in the past? But the world is spinning fast Do you find healing in a night full of beers? (CHORUS) But do you feel cold when I feel cold? Some wounds of the past are still bleeding And do you feel old when I feel old? And what would you do If I asked you to stay? I got no-one to pray for, so many to blame I run then I stumble and fall… …like the leaves take a bow on the autumnal wind And the waves of solitude swallow my pride Then I see the decades of arrogance grinning at me And I weep ‘cause I feel no pain inside (CHORUS) So do you feel cold ‘cause I’m cold? The fears of the past are still gready And do you feel old ‘cause I’m old? And how does it feel when the innocence fades? You’re haunted by feelings you kept in the shade You run then you stumble and fall We run then we stumble and fall, We run then we stumble and fall We run then we stumble and fall, We run then we stumble and fall We run then we stumble and fall

about

The Last International Playboys are releasing their first full album “Who shot Roy?”, following to their debut E.P. “Foreplay”.
In December 1981 the legendary comic-book hero Roy Race of the Rovers was shot by an unknown gunman. Not only his life was in jeopardy but thousands of readers were also in agony, worrying for their beloved hero who represented more than a comic-book character. Kids and not only, all over the world were daydreaming through Roy. Forty years later the Last International Playboys still wonder: “Who shot Roy? Who shot our dreams? Who shot our hopes? Who shot the child inside of us?”. We still don’t know the answer to the first question. As for the rest, every single one of us has his own cross to bear.
“Who shot Roy?” features ten tracks, blending a wide range of sounds and emotions. A journey from haunting introversion to hopeful joy. Occasionally the band blink at the vintage sound of the 60’s, but the urban atmosphere of today is most of the times present.

The Last International Playboys are:

Angel Kalantzis - Vocals
Nikolaos Michos - Bass guitar
Joseph Moschopoulos - Guitar
Kostas Lagos - Guitar
Stelios Paschalis - Drums
Odysseas Konstantopoulos - Keyboards
