John Simandiras This album is a total winner from start to finish! All killer-no filler. They just dont make them like Faster! any more. PP and his crew play like precious craftsmen their rich-in-sounds cocktail: surf, tex mex, good old rockNroll, latin and many more. Imagine you're driving through the US deserts on endless highways. Well, this is your absolute soundtrack. Go for it!

In The Dark 02:39
Well I'm just around the corner watching the people go by just behind the bus stop hey I got a fever tonight Got a pair of sunglasses and a pale white skin people keep moving but I like to stand still I'm just around the corner watching the people go by In the dark – I just stand In the dark – people think I'm insane In the dark – but I gotta say I'm just another man waiting all alone in the dark Never looking for trouble man I tell you no lie and I ain't no cop ain't no thief in the night I'm looking for a woman that broke my heart that's why I always stay in the dark Never looking for trouble man I tell you no lie You know the night time It's my time, the night time Yeah the night time It's my time, the night time Yeah the night time, just around midnight Yeah It's getting one, It's getting two three, four, five o'clock and I stay awake 'till the light of day stay awake 'till the light of day In the dark – I just stand In the dark – people think I'm insane In the dark – but I gotta say I'm just another man waiting all alone just another man waiting on my own just another man waiting all alone in the dark

Mexican Girl 03:23
It was late at night we passed the border an hour ago been drivin' all night and day and we were many miles away from home There was a sign near the road we had to stop for a while, or more I asked the guy at the door and he said “come step inside señor” We drank tequila at the cantina and I fell in love with a mexican girl she was dancing all night, under the moonlight you know that girl she just blew out my head You know tequila and rum can really make you get drunk, indeed I told her “stay por favor” she said “lo siento, I have to leave” It was getting near dawn we had to pay for la cuerta to go but there was no car outside no money, no place to hide, no no We drank tequila at the cantina and I fell in love with a mexican girl no It ain't funny, she stole my money you know that girl never runs out of work

Seven Days 03:46
I know that I'll never smile again know that I'll never smile again Time slips away and I draw closer to the end I know that I'll never smile again I feel I got nowhere left to go feel I got nowhere left to go It's rainin' in my heart and It's rainin' in my soul I feel I got nowhere left to go It's been seven days, been seven days It's been seven days, been seven days I'm here all alone and I wonder where she's gone she ran away from home, It's been seven days I know, the sun ain't gonna shine no more know, the sun ain't gonna shine no more the lights are getting dim and the air is getting cold I know, the sun ain't gonna shine no more It's been seven days, been seven days It's been seven days, been seven days I'm here all alone and I wonder where she's gone she ran away from home, It's been seven days I'm here all alone and I wonder where she's gone she ran away from home, It's been seven days

Victoria 05:39
Just a smile, just a smile and I'm gone you know this time I'm leaving for long just a smile, and I won't feel alone though my days they grow darker and cold All the tears falling on your lips let me dry with my fingertips all the things, that I'll miss Victoria we never made it to glory-a but just let me try one more time to save our story-a Victoria we never made it to glory-a but just let me try one more time to save our story-a my, my, my Victoria Just a kiss, makes me keep carry on just a kiss, makes my world spinning 'round guess you know that I'm a fool for your love I guess you know that I won't let you down All the sorrow and all the bliss always pass through our fingertips just a kiss, that I'll miss
