SHY
-----

The darling with predictable lines
Hoping for the myth to survive
Secrets when he soaks in the spotlight
Cry

Shy
Look how he's wasted his time
He dances on stage with his lies
Singing why
Does nobody know he's insane
Cry, the words that take hold and control you
Pretends that there's love when he holds you
Leaves you behind for the stars

Shy
(He blows a kiss to all the fools)
(He blows a kiss to all the fools that love him)
He wants to reach out and find honesty

My darling with her gestures that flare
She's falling, there's not time to care
Offended, the lack of attention stings

Singing why, she's trying to be held but I fail her
I'm trying to break through, I can save you
The love that will haunt and disable
I'm lost in the breath that I gave you
To leave you behind for the stars

Shy, he wants to reach out and find honesty
It's easy to want when you're scared
It's easy to love down below
(Blows a kiss to all the fools)
(Blows a kiss to all the fools that want him)
(Blows a kiss to all the fools)
(Blows a kiss to all the fools that love him)

Darling, just want you bare
Calling, you're not really there
Inspired, caressed by the intimate glare
Singing why
He's made life so hard and confusing
Enters the room to refuse you
It hurts when he finds you amusing
I wish you were blind, I would lose you
Leaves you behind for the stars

I, I'll never get back what you begged for
He's down on his knees and he's praying
Found on his bed silently

Shy
He wants to reach out and find honesty
It's easy to want when you're scared

Kiss me, love me, I don't want it
Hold me, save me, I don't need it
Try to bless me, I don't want it
Pity for me, I don't need it
Judge me, hang me, I don't want it
Kneel before me, I don't need it
Lay beside me, I don't want it
I don't want it
I don't want it

(Blows a kiss to all the fools)
(Blows a kiss to all the fools that want him)
(Blows a kiss to all the fools)
(Blows a kiss to all the fools that love him)

about

Ondine Seattle, Washington

Ondine was my favorite 90s-era Seattle band that *almost* hit it big.

Ondine was: Luca Sacchetti (Vocals), Erik Castro (Guitar), Ray Zozaya (Bass), Jamil Hai and Mark Yeend (Drums).

Luca and Erik were kind enough to allow me to curate and host these albums for free download.

You had to see them live to really "get it", but it's great to make this music available after so long. Enjoy! ... more
