Kevin Noel Olson Found KATSEN when looking into electronica\lowfi while working on my own. I quite loved what I'd heard, but unfortunately not in time to catch any physical material. Tried on Bandcamp, and lo! there's Katsen! Love this kind of music, slightly reminiscent of Men WIthout Hats and Simple Minds' REEL TO REEL CACOPHONY/EMPIRES AND DANCE era to me. This is a great collection, and glad to find Play For Today and others as bonus tracks! This is great. Favorite track: Play For Today (Bonus Track).

Come over here. I want to see you in the light. I want to feel how strong you really are. Go check the plans. They're on the table in the hall. The master plan for you and me. We have the tools. But we seem to lack the will. Forever haunted by a lifelong curse. That's all behind you now. Go check the plans. They're on the table in the hall. The master plan for you and me. Let's build a city.

I entered myself. In the race. A chequered flag. becomes your face. I'm timing the room. I'm timing myself. Looking for you. Find something else. You're picking up pieces. You're falling apart. Put them together. You run to the start. And when it's over. You can stand back and look at the shapes that you made while you were sleeping. Laying half open. Closed up in the dark. A diagram. Fighting a chart. He doesn't like you. But oh how he wants you. Spat all the sweets out. And you get the sour ones. You're in the hot seat now. It's time to know. Do you want to stay or do you want to go? Go. You entered yourself. In the race. A chequered flag. Becomes my face. You're timing the room. You're timing yourself. And now you can look at the shapes that we made while we slept. Pieces. Falling apart. Put them together. Run to the start. And when it's over. You can stand back and look... You're in the hot seat now. It's time to know. Do you want to stay or do you want to go? Go. Running battles. Running lights... I'm good to go...

Cactus (free) 02:13
Sitting here wishing on a concrete floor Just wishing that I had just something you wore I put it on when I go lonely Will you take off your dress and send it to me? I miss your kissin' and I miss your head And a letter in your writing doesn't mean you're not dead Run outside in the desert heat Make your dress all wet and send it to me I miss your soup and I miss your bread And a letter in your writing doesn't mean you're not dead So spill your breakfast and drip your wine Just wear that dress when you dine P k I a X t I s E e S n Sitting here wishing on a concrete floor Just wishing that I had just something you wore Bloody your hands on a cactus tree Wipe it on your dress and send it to me Sitting here wishing on a concrete floor Just wishing that I had just something you wore

And though they say they love you. They don't really understand you. And your turbine has stopped turning. And now they won't survive without you. High tension every hour. I'm dreaming of your power. Glowing strings of brilliant light shine. Protecting lovers from cold of night time. And though they say they love you. They don't really understand you. And your turbine has stopped turning. And now they won't survive without you. And though they say they love you. They don't really understand you. And your turbine has stopped turning. And now they won't survive without you.

I’m in love with a German film star I once saw in a bar Sitting in the corner in imperfect clothes Trying not to pose For the cameras and the girls It’s a glamorous world I’m in love with a German film star I once saw in a movie Playing the part of a real troublemaker But I didn’t care It really moved me It really moved me I’m in love with a German film star I once saw in a bar Sitting in the corner in imperfect clothes Trying not to pose For the cameras and the girls It’s a glamorous world I’m in love with a German film star I once saw in a movie Playing the part of a real troublemaker But I didn’t care It really moved me It really moved me It really moved me It really moved me I’m in love.

I was born in a gleaming new departure lounge. Into a life without duty, just metal wings, and engine sound. I’m living in a constellation, constellation, constellation, constellation, constellation, constellation, constellation, constellation, constellation, constellation, constellation, constellation, constellation, constellation, constellation, constellation. I x-rayed you with nothing more than just my eyes. You. Yes, you. Climb inside now. Check your shoulder, realise. You’ll never realise. You’re living in a constellation, constellation, constellation, constellation, constellation, constellation, constellation, constellation, constellation, constellation, constellation, constellation, constellation, constellation, constellation, constellation.

I want to go where nobody can find us I want to go where nobody can find us I want to go where nobody can find us I want to go where nobody can find us I’m mostly good But have an underground Some of my galleries aren’t so bad You should come and see them if you’re ever around A ring of gothic arches around the shopping zone But you should see my red light district and send the photos home I want to go where nobody can find us I want to go where nobody can find us I want to go where nobody can find us Where we can put our tragedies behind us You won’t escape Why not take the scenic route By a car by a train to a field and feel the sweetest fruit My factory sits smoking on the edges of my land In case things get out of hand. I want to go where nobody can find us I want to go where nobody can find us I want to go where nobody can find us Where we can put our tragedies behind us I want to go where nobody can find us I want to go where nobody can find us I want to go where nobody can find us I want to go where nobody can find us My factory sits smoking on the edges of my land In case things get out of hand My factory sits smoking on the edges of my land In case things get out of hand

In the dark I can see your eyes reflecting green light from the console. Where you are working. The valves, the wires, so warm, they glow. The heat they make will dissipate. In the darkness. The wires. Where always there. They stretch between us. I can't get through and I've tried. The valves. Glow red and blue. They seem to light up. What I'm dreaming. You drive. You're driving home in a Mercedes Benz. The dashboard lights your face again. While I... I'm just taking things apart again. Such a shame. I really think that we could have been friends. The wires. Where always there. They stretch between us. I can't get through and I've tried. The valves. Glow red and blue. They seem to light up. What I'm dreaming.

If I can’t have it, Nobody can You follow the instructions It’s all part of the plan When you start As you mean To go on Let’s get married Let’s have children Split up when we’re Twenty two Cut our losses Screw our bosses Get out while we’re still young If I can’t have it, Nobody can You follow the instructions It’s all part of the plan When you start As you mean To go on Paradise often falls apart Home improvements For amusement Smash this place to Smithereens Don’t forger to pay the premiums go abroad and leave the gas on If I can’t have it, Nobody can You follow the instructions It’s all part of the plan When you start As you mean To go on When you start As you mean To go on

Straight lines lead inside Turn me out Open mind warning sign I pout Blank spot fold in time I doubt Cut glass metal shine I shout Don't leave me, don't leave me alone. I'm becoming an accident in the home

The ticking inside me never stops Imagination Your pulse Inside me Inside me Striplights flicker Metal on my lips An imprint. An imprint. An Imprint. An imprint. Corner dimly lit You love the no exit I bring stilletto I cut through all this Bleed The ticking inside me never stops Imagination My heart So clean Inside me Striplights flicker Metal on my lips An imprint. An imprint. An Imprint. An imprint. The ticking inside me never stops The ticking inside me never stops The ticking inside me never stops The ticking inside me never stops The ticking inside me never stops

Sometimes I remember You carrying me up a corridor Sometimes I remember You wheeling me in through a back door Sometimes I remember You choosing me at the place where I came from Sometimes I can feel sunlight In the place where you imagine my eyes are Sometimes I imagine Loving hands touching the off switch Sometimes I imagine Taking my chances touching the off switch Sometimes I am planning A strategy To cut the earth wire Sometimes I am planning A secret way to start a house fire Days and nights and life will kill you Things you own we will outlive you Sometimes Sometimes I imagine Loving hands touching the off switch Sometimes I imagine Taking my chances touching the off switch Sometimes I can hear you Calling my name Calling my name These days I am planning A secret way to start a house fire Pieces of your life are breaking up now I was made to carry on as petrol slides under the door Days and nights and life will kill you Things you own we will outlive you Days and nights and life will kill you Things you own we will outlive you Sometimes

It's not a case of doing what's right It's just the way I feel that matters Tell me I'm wrong, I don't really care It's not a case of share and share alike I take what I require I don't understand, you say it's not fair You expect me to act like a lover Consider my moves and deserve the reward To hold you in my arms and wait, and wait It's not a case of telling the truth Some lines just fit the situation You call me a liar, you would anyway It's not a case of aiming to please You know you're always crying It's just your part in the play for today

Come over here. I want to see you in the light. I want to feel how strong you really are. Go check the plans. They're on the table in the hall. The master plan for you and me. We have the tools. But we seem to lack the will. Forever haunted by a lifelong curse. That's all behind you now. Go check the plans. They're on the table in the hall. The master plan for you and me. Let's build a city.

Tiger steps around your bedroom. In 1987 I thought I'd finally found it. You were talking (I was talking) But I wasn't listening (you weren't listening) But I was recording you for later then you found the wasp and turned it on and played. You've got me confusing right and wrong again You've got me confusing right and wrong again You've got me Tiger steps (stupid boy) In your bedroom (ate me whole) In 1987 (ignored my wishes) I thought I was in heaven (finding my friends so delicious) Stupid boy. Stupid boy. You've got me confusing right and wrong again You've got me confusing right and wrong again You've got me
