Just a BREAK fue compuesto por na_th_an (jL de Scumm) en 1999 con vistas a ser interpretado con su banda de entonces, Rubber Band. El proyecto, que demostró ser demasiado ambicioso no pudo completarse, y al final sólo unas pocas canciones de este disco pasaron a formar parte del repertorio de la banda.

Casi diez años después, gracias a la infraestructura proporcionada por Stray Jay Music, na_th_an ha podido por fin completar la obra tal y como fue concebida originalmente, sin aditivos posteriores ni cambios comerciales. Lo que se presenta aquí es la obra tal y como se concibió en primera instancia.

Just a BREAK es un disco conceptual. En sus primeros quince cortes se narra la historia de Annie, Sterling y Sally, desde las 5.36 de la madrugada hasta la misma hora del día siguiente.

Además, se incluyen dos versiones consideradas adecuadas por su autor en cuanto a temática: I Wanna be Sedated (Joey Ramone) de The Ramones y Poison Door (Gary Marx, Andrew Eldritch) de The Sisters of Mercy.



Aquí os ofrecemos el cancionero completo del disco: letra y acordes de todas las canciones que las componen, excepto las versiones.

5:36 – G.I.R.L.S.C.A.R.E.D. 

E5 E5dim

Em        Bsus4           Cmaj7        Bsus4  
   This is the last dream, paranoid and thirsty one
Em                 Bsus4       Cmaj7        Bsus4  
   Dark sheets and smooth eyes make a good picture
Em              Bsus4              Cmaj7              Bsus4  
   A continuous tile from left to right, then against
         Em   Em7 Bsus4   Cmaj7 C9  Bsus4    Em
Makes me feel I'm dy-ing, or    I'm just as- leep.

Em      B         C           B    Em
   Keep out from me, keep out from me
        B     C     B 
You G.I.R.S.C.A.R.E.D. one
Em         B           C         B     Em 
   You learned all you know in a TV show
                B           C      B
'Cause now It's five thirty six at night

This is the last dream while I hear the ticks from the clock,
One two three four... then I lose count again, once again.
An huge good-looking nightmare begins to flow
While I keep listening to the ticks from the clock,

Em                 B           C      B
   'Cause now It's five thirty six at night 
          Em                  B  C  B
And I can still taste your makeup
     Em        B       C         B
Keep out from me, keep out from me,
         Em      B       C    B
Your G.I.R.L.S.C.A.R.E.D. one ah

If you came down just to emphasise the lights behind you
If you came down just to emphasise the lights behind you
G#
feel free to take me down too

If you did that just to be reborn from that inside of you
If you did that just to be reborn from that inside of you
feel free to be reborn again

A           B             G#
So don’t forget to start again that lane you left
So don’t regret, don’t be a girl to them behind you
So don’t be afraid, confine in me: the lights behind you
So don’t go down there’re lots like you: the lights behind you

10:33 – The march of the Dizzy Lesson

G
 Sally?
 Wake up
 Open eyes
 Shoo-shoo
 
B
 This is the March of the Dizzy Lesson
 It has a flag made of buffers

13:00 – Annie and the dust bins of Noor St.

D#m D C#m E

B C#m E x3

E            G#m
  She's gone
  E                   G#m
I never thought I'd see her again
E        G#m
  all alone
    E                    G#m
and I could even see her sayin' goodbye
C#m       D                           E
    She's looking for her life in the dust bins
C#m     D                                   E
    And I'm scared 'cause I don't know what she's gonna find
D#m           D                 C#m
    I'll miss her and what was she like...
     E...
for me.

She's back
I could see her coming by Squalor Street
With empty hands
That's a pity 'cause she's worked hard
She's looked for her life in the dust bins
And I'm sad 'cause she hasn't found anything good
I'll miss her and what was she like...
for me...

B                          F#
  Uh, sometimes there's no exit
G#m                     E
    but you've got your friends
       B                  F#
'Cause darling, don't be afraid,
     G#m           E   F#
They always keep inside.

B C#m E x3

13:59 – The duel of the Passenger

1: A (Asus2) Cmaj7 G
2: D A (Asus2) Cmaj7 G

It's such a bad story the Duel of the Passenger
When there is two hundred degrees in the bus
When there's a horrific mum and a scary old man
It is just bad policy to talk about it.

The girl is angry 'cause she's been waiting for long.
Her perfume has been nullified by the sweat in her blouse
And her hair is not as good as it was
And her breath is not as good as it was 
She's wondering 'Why am I waiting for him?'
She's wondering 'Why am I waiting for him?'

'Why am I waiting for him?'

It's such a bad story the Duel of the Passenger
When there's a million miles home
When it's all full of fucking little whores
It is just bad policy to think about it.

The girl is angry 'cause she's been waiting for long
Her makeup has been faded away by the salty drops
And her hair is not as good as it should be
And her breath is not as good as it should be
She's wondering 'Why am I waiting for him?'
She's wondering 'Why am I waiting for him?'

'Why am I waiting for him?'

15:34 – Sterling found an excuse

     D9                                             Asus4
 The fake swans swim mechanicly over the artificial lake
Bm                         C9 C Cmaj7
 And the grass smells like heaven should do.
...
 Annie feels better now cause her sweat is now dry
 Sterling found an excuse to her.

G                                  
 A flower ran out of petals is the gift
D
 And she is so glad with it
Am                         Am/B C
 'Please forgive me I beg' he   says
         D             Dsus4 D
 No more words needed.

G5 F#5 F5 E5 ...

 The weather is pretty fucking close to the artificial lake
 The sun strikes from the top of the park
 They sit under the leaves of a tree with its changing shades
 And they kiss yes they kiss

16:40 – The Flight

D      D9...
See you in the flight
Up the stairs
Bb C              D      C...
   See you in our flight
Up the stairs
Behind the door

See you in the flight
Up the stairs
Behind the door
See you in the flight
Time has stopped
Behind the door

Over the trap door always closed
Air tastes like wet hot clothes.

See you in the flight
Mamma said
I shouldn't go

See you in our flight
Where it rains
Before the sun

17:35 – Once Again Really Home

Chorus:
B7          A7          G            F#7
  And once again it was really home, really home. X4

E                          B
  Some people call it your shelter
E                        B
  They mean you can get along
G#m                 E                  B
    When there is a place you can call home
                  A
something of your own.

Where you feel safe and sound
Where there's love coming out the walls
Where there's little to be said 
                                            F#7
'Cause you don't need a word when you're at home.

(Chorus)

I see you watching your pictures
I feel your heart beating fast
I feel somehow bewildered 'cause you don't need a friend
when you're at home

So I better say goodbye and leave
'Cause I don't fit in your life
I better get in shape and change my mind
'Cause I won't be glad till I find a home.

G#m       E
Oh I feel lonely now
G#m                B
That's why I can't talk
G#m             E
When there's so much to say
           G#m                      F#        
But I feel that it's better to shut up

(Chorus)

18:31 – Just a Break (to sing “love” again)

Psycho brains - Remember me
Life's so stupid and so on.

It's just a break
To Sing Love Again
Sail with me
In this bloody hell-

Oh It's just a break
To Sing Love Again
Die with me
And we'll go to hell.

We'll find a port
Where we can bleed together
A new life...
A son from our scars will be born

Oh, It's just a break
To Sing Love Again
Just for me
Or maybe for you

Oh It's just a break
To Sing Love Again
Just for me
Or maybe for you

It's in the room
Where the both of our hearts live
It's you having a shower
It's me breathing inside a glass.

It's just a break
To Sing Love Again
Just for me
Or maybe for you

Oh It's just a break
To Sing Love Again
Just for me
Or maybe for you.

20:05 – His Wonderful Life

A
Your don't look so happy  
G              D
Hanging from a tree
    A
You wave with the wind
           G            D
But you're not quite as free
 
You're wearing a straight jacket
and denim pants
And your eyes can't see
The shade of who you'd been

Hello – Hanging from a tree?
Can you bury me?
Hanging from a tree?

Not looking comfortable
hanging from a tree
At night some rooks
Will nest in your entrails

Your life has been extraordinary
in many ways
'Cause you know, my friend:
your life was set.

Hello...

21:34 – The Sexy Bloody Killer

(Dm, F, Em, Dm)

Dresses like evil my new love
Strikes the victims when she comes
Shouts louder than the wind
Kills the victims that she keeps

Am
Die with me girl come upon my face
Dope with me girl come upon my face

Scares every children my new love
With that make up she makes me sick
Every night she ties me to my bed
Makes me love or something else

Am
Die with me girl come upon my face
Dope with me girl come upon my face

G
Mom, I’m a bad girl
don’t be ashamed
Am
I dress like a hustler
And I smell like hell

23:30 – The Room of Dispair

1:: C G Bm A 2:: Em G B

It was an excuse well known as migraine
As she was dressed in black velvet rain
And the chimney, it was full of poison
As they ran across the dinning room
It was the party of the cats and dogs
It the kitchen or in the yellow bathroom
And the  courtines were full of nicotine
And the lamps were blinding furiously

After dinning they put the lights off
Pretending to make it closer with complicity
Like inside a bus at three o'clock
The silence of the shouting ones.
And they had a session of plastic sex
Covering their hands with latex gloves
She did not suffer, he did not come
It's like a lover they sell by catalogue
 
They pretended to be asleep after that
Closing their eyes and forcing a smile
Breathing quietly, no moves at all,
But they were quite awake instead.

There're scary wails in the Room of Despair
While dirty minds do their dirty work

After a while they both got up in silence
But none of them knew that the other one did
Their eyes were blind, they moved by instinct
As the moon outside seemed to be drinking.
Uh, they were covered by darkness, the fatal hour,
Uh, but this cover acted as a hard shield.
They walked across the naked darkness
And they met face to face in the kitchen.

Someone put the lights on and they could see
Each one looking at the eyes of each other.
A scaring smile came to Sterling's face
A bothering sight went out Annie's eyes

Here they were, standing up naked,
The air walked slow towards the couple.
The yellow-like light coloured their bodies
And the whisper of the fridge looked like a promise.
Uh, Who saw the guns they had in their hands?
Uh, Who sold guns to these young ones?
The fingers so silent pulled on the triggers
That night was the night and we all knew.

23:45 – Bang

(Riff Thick) (Em; Em G D5/F#)

Yo'stepping out the shower
Yo'panting in the dark
Yo'pullin' on my trigger
I wanna feel your bark

I'd struggle every moment
As we fall to the floor
We're lying on the carpet
Just drowning in our blood

Just drowning in our blood
Just drowning in our blood
Just drowning in our blood
Just drowning in our blood

The moon is rotten outside
The cats are wailing crazy
My emptiness revolving
The roses in your hair

And now we feel exhausted
And now we want to fly
So deep is our embrace
Just drowning in our blood

Just drowning in our blood
Just drowning in our blood
Just drowning in our blood
Just drowning in our blood

D
Officer Coffin to Police Station
There are two corpses on the floor
They are floating in a blood pool
With eyes open, they're holding hands.

G
And in the face of the lovers 
A black smile is written across their cheeks

I look at the face of the lovers
So young and tender, full of bliss

D
Officer Coffin to Police Station
There are two corpses on the floor
Their wounds look like roses
I know they're lovers, they're holding hands.

G
I look at the face of the lovers
What a waste

D
Officer Coffin to Police Station
I wonder who called the police.

05:36 – Requiem for Sterling 

Am         C           Em       Em7 Em6
   Goodbye Love I will miss you
...
Everyday I will recall you
Didn't you know what is after death?
Will you take me with you tomorrow?

       G   D Em       E        A      E    F#m
'Cause now I feel how love has scaped from me
    F#    B            F#    D        E    Em   Bm
And how I come back to lonelyness and you agree
   G     D    Em           E       A
So don't look back in that way you do,
E F#m     F#       B           F#          D        E
Because I wanna forget you and you make it hard, so hard,
    Em     Bm
But fly so far
    C      Em      C    D
And fly so far, so far away...

Goodbye Love I will miss you
Everytime I will cry for you
Didn't you say that there's always an end?
Well I think this is ours.

Remember me when you are down.
