And your wife
And your settee
Don't wanna be mistreated by neo-bourgeoisie
I'm in a bourgeois town
I'm in a bourgeois town
I read the newspaper
What do i see
A politician with kids doing his best for me
I'm in a bourgeois town
I'm in a bourgeois town
I've got the bourgeois blues
Go spread the news around
I walk into a park
for some fresh air
I meet a journalist with no money for beer
I'm in a bourgeois town
I'm in a bourgeois town
I've got the bourgeois blues
Go spread the news around

It's Quiet

It’s quiet, it’s quiet
No cars, no motorcycles
It’s quiet, it’s quiet
No dogs not anything like it
No fighting neighbors, television
Birds or babies, road construction
ventilation, refrigerators
whispering demons, no clicking cables
It’s quiet, it’s quiet
No trucks, no frogs, no chicken
It’s quiet, it’s quiet
No talk, not anything like it
No media, no ticking clocks
No snoring husband, squeaking doors
neither background radiation
Cosmic rays from outer space
It’s quiet, it’s quiet
No wind, no streaming water
It’s quiet, it’s quiet
No sizzling, trembling nostrils
Only this pre-modern silence
Rustling ears and Streaming blood
It’s never really, really silent
Inside my head I understood

All gone to sit
All look around
No one has questions
All been to school
All been to church
No one has questions
All fell in love
All lost someone
No one has questions
All without debts
All in the car
No one has questions
All want to help
All want to teach
No one gets questions
All wrote a book
All won a price
No one gets questions

Zea Amsterdam, Netherlands
Zea is Arnold de Boer: minimal, full-on, electric, acoustic, heart-felt, strange-
edge.
Deploying guitar and sampler for intense and high energy songs. Urgent lyrics in English and in Frisian (his first language). Sometimes intimate, heart felt, poetic, at other times driven on roughshod beats and grimy bass lines. Joyfully obstinate, wonderfully bonkers.
