Lethargy 02:38
but there is a light and there is a canyon you can move that canyon by letting in the light we got lethargy and there is no one to set us free this time the pavement twilight led to lonely I am right city people staring not aware of what they’re into we got lethargy and there is no one to set us free this time there’s no phone ringing there’s no lightning killing shrugging bodies won’t wake up girls on beaches and make-up we got lethargy and there is no one to set us free this time

sunday evening half past nine slowly breathing too much wine the neighbours went to bed and turned off the lights now I can see your face at night the sound of traffic passing by on highways far away oh my God it never was meant to be daylight human beings crickets sing oh gloria for lack of love hallelujah rehearse this song for you and me ‘cause each one of us is gonna travel six feet the sounds of aeroplanes passing by for destinations far oh my God it never was meant to be daylight human beings monday morning half past eight the neighbours went to work and the crickets lost their faith drink some more so long farewell let the people stew in their daylight hell.

Billy 02:13
Billy’s saving energy with walking down the alley with his faith on him meanwhile the stars shine and ask him what they do confusing him with shouting words time is wasted with giving money and sitting at my grave ‘til the music comes to a halt Billy’s never been the man to tell his sins there’s no one to convince him there men that call him ‘prince’ so he is walking with his mind on him we have a job time is wasted with giving money and sitting at my grave ‘til the music comes to a halt

what do you know about being firm what do you know about the things that concern you and your upper-class it’s that you think you’re super massive and what do you know about fear about your losing, having none of you clear and how do you think you can solve the problem in which you are involved what if it all became clear necessary to interfere in all the things that were aside until they’re placed into your life what is your power where is your love in the morning hour where is your power where lies your power where did your love go where did it go in the morning hour are the things that you have worked for are those the things that you have earned or did they fill your head with hope all the money that you are worth and all the applause that you deserve the moment you have it you see it explode I think I know as less as you I tend to think that all the things I do and have are everlasting to me they’re so fantastic and the moment that you hold the things you’ve got they all seem to be gold and what you talk about seems true that’s what you do to you now here’s one that makes it all clear life might go beyond our fears it might happen to me as it did to you please do the only thing to do let that be your power let that be your love in the morning hour let that be your power that be your power that be your love in the morning hour this is your power, this is your power this is your love in the morning hour this is your power this is your power this is your this is love in the morning hour

Hills 03:00
nine o’clock she knows it’s time for work at the shoe store just next door I pity her life at this point and she is even more you can tell by seeing the pearls in her eyes rolling down, down her cheeck trying to pull it together but missing a spot and her mind doesn’t want to be weak every night the streets are too small when she bikes herself through the cold didn’t they ever bring her home that one sudden night you can tell by seeing the pearls in her eyes rolling down, down her cheek trying to pull it together but missing a spot and her mind doesn’t want to be weak and she lives by the record of expectations and God made that promise about valleys love love and hills
11.
come on and ask me ask me I’m happy later you’re sorry it’s a blurry you see there’s no right season they’re all the same come on and ask me convince me with pain I don’t belong here silence is nothing
12.
Kicking 03:15
and than nothing but kicking and than nothing but yelling and than nothing but sinking and than nothing but pistols and than nothing but shouting and than nothing but drinking the blood out of someone’s body eager to promise your girlfriend that you are the emperor of the streets the blackface grown up hysterical youngsters who’s gonna beat them who’s gonna teach them and how will they know what to feel and how will they know what is real and than the accident happens and when you lost your temper and than you walk the safe line and than your thoughts are with pillows or maybe an actrice who looks very eager to kick the pride out of someones body or maybe her own the blackface grown up hysterical youngsters who’s gonna teach them who’s gonna beat them and how will they know what to feel and how will they know what is real

Peter Icon 03:51
she gets in with her stinking meal and she talks too loud you lift your chin knowing what’s the deal never let her win your fingers shake as you cross them tight whispering in space the words get louder as you spit them out “tell me whats the point no you’ll never change no you’ll never win I got a load of pride” the burning pages of the book of sin Peter at the wall getting really frightening when he raises his voice and you start to cry a heavy head a screaming thought “just take me home” but you lift your chin never let him win you wanna win

there is a hole in the sky it’s a trench I… I watched the stars and thought they all shone bright but Peter his old grandfather once said if you have a dream of a flying flickering light you’re saved if there’s no reason to stay you can feel it in your nerves the night seems to be bigger than you deserve I am in disguise I’ll fly by when I flew over the village I once lived I saw a girl crying on the place I forgot and only for one minute I wished I was back with you with the earth above me I began to fall Venus on the left sorry Mars couldn’t say hi my fear for someone who can catch me in space is gone now it seems all so crystal clear to me my father raised a son and then he felt back for me now it’s my time to say hi to God

about

LPG is underground. They rehearse in a basement, make quite weird music (with glorious melodies, one must admit) and called their new, second album very appropriately 'With The Earth Above Me'.

The cover of this album is a Gesamtkunstwerk of 11,000 cans spread out on a square, all by the boys themselves and with a little help from photographer Reyer Boxem. This has all been printed on a beautiful digipack including a poster for the details...

Enough about form, let's focus on the content. This album is a collection of songs about being an observer of your own environment. Being a part of what you criticize. As outsiders, from The Nothern Part of the Netherlands, from where they both do what they like best, and do best; making music.

'With The Earth Above Me' is no straightforward pop-record, so give the songs a few turns, and you will have to admit they deserve it. Probably it will even enrich your life as much as it did theirs during the making of this album.
