lyrics

Charisma; Marisma; But is there anything to do?
Anythings that show to you; It's never enough just to say
I've seen it; I mean it; I mean it in the afternoon
Feel that I should go quite soon; It's never enough just to say
Can go the tango, the last one is the best they say
Shows you lots of different ways to waste an afternoon

Scan it; They ban it; They plan to take it home with them
And watch it after half-past ten; When the kids have gone to bed
Sensor's defencor; Is only that he knows what's best
Who told him? Well you can guess; It's never enough just to say
Can go the tango, the last one is the best they say
Shows you lots of different ways to waste an afternoon

Charisma; Marisma; But is there anything you can do?
Anythings that show to you; It's never enough just to say
I've seen it; I mean it; I mean it in the afternoon
Feel that I should go quite soon; It's never enough just to say
Can go the tango; The last one is the best they say
Shows you lots of different ways to waste an afternoon

Oh!
You can do the tango; You can do the tango;
You can do the tango; You can do it -oh yeah!
You can do the tango; You can do the tango;
You can do the tango; You can do it -oh yeah!
You can do the tango; You can do the tango;
You can do the tango; You can do it -oh yeah!
You can do the tango; You can do the tango;
You can do the tango; You can do it -alright now!
Do the Tango-o

After we're finished, now I'll take a chance
We can do the last tango at the high school dance
Yeah -waa waa

I remember the excitement when The Sentinel was released having seen the band live a few times before. I loved the album but was aware that there were tracks missing and it had been rumoured that it was to be a double album. To hear all these takes and works in progress takes me right back to the 80's and the buzz of all the new prog that was coming out back then. This is an absolutely essential purchase for any Pallas fan. nuttinikki

England the band's "Garden Shed" is a lesser known but highly praised 70s prog album which is now also available here on Bandcamp. Surprisingly, I seem to prefer these 2006 live recordings (all songs from Garden Shed contained). For fans of classic prog, rich on the melodic side and with many twists and turns. PS After one and a half "spin" I like this so much that I probably have to come back for the original Garden Shed, too ;-) Carsten Pieper
