1.	Guess What - Yin Yang Bind 03:00	lyrics	buy track
Bind Yin Yang Bind… Yin Yang Yin Yang Yin Yang Bind…. What a lifestyle ! What a buddie-budgie movie in a dead end ! I’ve got a Harry Jekyll on the right-hand side But a vicious Sally Hyde in the left hand Casting silly spells… I’m a flea, a pet, a puppy, I’m a puppet under strains With midgets all around, I gotta act like a sad clown Do you really think we cand bind A moony Pierrot to a moody Columbine ? Dizzy ! I feel dizzy Carnival’s flames keep flickering in the wind Big top, big top, big top, let me breathe ! Ups and downs on a lethal trapeze… Bind Ying Yang Bind…. I could drown into her purple neverland Sally Hook defeating Harry Potter Pan To be or not to be entrapped I’m in two minds about that… Shall we get on like a house on fire ? I’m a fucking tightrope-walker juggling with hot desires Sister ! We’re in a Yin Yang Bind My heart’s calling for a Big Bang ! Dizzy ! I feel dizzy Carnival’s flames keep flickering in the wind Big top, big top, big top, let me breathe ! Ups and downs on a lethal trapeze… Bind Yin Yang Bind Yin Yang Bind… How can I pull the trigger ? Pull the trigger ? How can I pull the trigger, the trigger, the trigger ? Yeah… How can I pull the trigger if she keeps pulling the strings ? The strings ! I Is there also a Messiah for Siamese twins ? Oh yeh ! Raparapapapamama oh yeh… Strings…
2.	Guess What - Jacobin Clash 03:20	lyrics	buy track
It’s time to draw a cynical conclusion From forty fucking years of evolution Who said anarchy we got the market’s version Tibetan artefacts for Bourgeois Bohemians Neutralized, globalized, deterritorialized… Guys ! Listen ! That’s why I couldn’t be a green without an oak of wisdom Let save the roots of our Jacobin asylum Bobo bonobos went bananas Bobo bonobos went bananas Fifteen years of bobo chaos Respect for the old man who carried a Lorrain cross Yeh ! The old man ! He didn’t lie ! They told him to leave, but he didn’t lie He didn’t resist like a boy scout That’s one of the things at which Castro was right ! Stop with the same old leftist bullshit Your resistance must be dynamic, dynamic Stop with the same ole Che Gue Lama blablabla I’ll phrase it in ska… Bobo bonobos went bananas Bobo bonobos went bananas Fifteen years of bobo chaos Respect for the old man, respect for the living gods ! Yeh, the living gods, they got cursed They told ‘em to leave to make worse For bucks and glory ! How senile ! Now they keep enlarging in flat style…. This is the era of a Jacobin clash This is the era of a Jacobin clash This is the era…(3) of a Jacobin clash… Technocrats like Babel’s treaties They’ve never read “History for dummies” They’ll shut up on new Guernicas And with my Battlestar Galaktiska I’ll kill their silence 3X Rise, it’s time for a Jacobin clash
3.	Guess What - Ragga For Dads 03:42	lyrics	buy track
What can you offer me for a dance ? I’ll leave you my insanity ! No offense ! So please put my bravery to the test ! Along this pond, respond to my request ! Read in my eyes, such distress Will smother inside what’s funny… and the rest ! Stuck in this story, you’re feeling vitrified ! The egg is growing, but… hope is fading out Do you really believe there’s a witch striking again ? Are we cursed like Vlad in Stoker's tales Listen, Snowhite ! It’s my midlife quest Let’s see if I’m the right buddy for your nest Venus, your foetus will dwell in the stars No matta whetha he’s dead or alive ! Do not surrenda, do no be mad Hear me singin’ this ragga for dads Forget your mystic, we missed the track This time, stick to the facts Count down the picknies you got Four, three, two, one, born ! Coz in the end, life always finds its way !
