Abenteur 02:57
We set off on a sunny day We were trying to run away There is nothing to be afraid of Everything we do shows we're brave I wanna know what is in my hand Oh tomorrow they will understand I couldn't stand still You couldn't stand still He couldn't stand still We couldn't stand still She couldn't stand still It couldn't stand still They couldn't stand still We all couldn't stand still I couldn't stand still Foolish people do stupid things I fly over seas with my wings Clever people tell clever lies I wish I were also that smart to try Happiness far away On and on we chase along

How we like to try How I try to try This is my simple mind I don't wanna ask why I know it will be fine How we like to try How they like to like These are their simple minds I don't wanna tell why Cos I know it will be fine

Stupid Star 02:29
Hey superstar Driving in expensive cars Stupid accent stupid tone Disguised in designer clothes Hi superstar I heard you returned from mars But who was the one Whom I met every day I say come on fellas hey hey hey Everyone has gone astray Ok hey hey hey What you say they will obey Ok let's celebrate Cos everybody thinks you're right Satisfied on the stage Listening to the young girls (boys) scream I wanna know what you have Making all the fellas swing They live just for you Ok let's celebrate

I'm having such a good time Do you know You can join me anytime you please As if i were riding in a boat I can smile but don't have to say “Cheese” Now my wish has come true Though my dream hasn't yet come true Julian can't keep a straight face And he looks like japanese Bruno's got a lovely bass All his records i wanna steal I wouldn't think too much Cos I know it would be too much We ain't the first band on the moon But still we ain't one in the bin We don't need the curtains at all Cos we want the sunshine in

Here it comes the sun Here it comes the number one Struggling through the rain Smuggled in a non-stop train If you come Come by run It will bring us much more fun Playing puns Eating buns Doing what we haven’t done Write me however you won’t Listen to what you can’t hear Touch what you’re unable to feel Sniff what you’re unable to smell Now the drugs won’t work And the memories only hurt Sit where as I please Writing nonsense poetries What if I’ve eaten your popcorn Would it turn you on What if I tell you sunday is gone Would you blow the horn

Martin 03:07
Maybe 21st is not the right time Perhaps my expectation was a little bit high Or maybe cos I was still drunk since may Or between us there’s nothing to say To be frank I have fogotten your voice To be honest I can`t even remember your face Somehow in my heart you’ve occupied a place Every now and then you make me fall You bring me sore So by the time you come passing by I knew it was all designed I knew there’s no place where I could hide You know I can`t decide You know I can’t deny So by the time you gave my your smile And then you left me behindoh martin you messed it all up So how you took me up into the sky Let me fall and let me cry All along I’d been waiting for your call After all just a simple lie is nothing at all But you’ve decided not to call anyway Cos between us there is really nothing to say So by the time you came kissing me You know you’re confusing me Oh martin you know it’s all wrong So how you threw me up into the sky Shot me down and said goodbye

What they think that suits the norm The proper uniform So I went into the bank And gave up all the bands Spent my whole life’s savings In those so-called basic wears That’s not what I want But people always say that You can’t make cows bend their necks If they don’t wanna drink Then I walked down the streets With pride and prejudice But those with trendy clothes on Then of something else they’re fond So I went to the bank And asked them for a hand But they didin’t give a damn Cos no gun’s in my hand Not regret what I’ve done Just rue what’s given up Cos all my previous favourite bands’ve Become their favourite now
9.
I really want some happiness and sadness Could you give me some Everybody says I’m too stupid Can I accept it Take a look at the moon in the sky Shining at very him I thought about it and smiled In fact I didn’t mind Take a look at my face It’s full of tears But it doesn’t mean that I’m sad It doesn’t mean that my heart is broken I made a dream Barbecuing on the beach Everybody was equally happy They felt wary I don’t wanna be controlled I wanna fly into the night sky To say hallo to the little stars Though I smile Though I seem to have a good life It doesn’t mean that I’m happy It doesn’t mean that it’s the truth I made a dream Building sand castle on the beach As a matter of fact Everybody was only me myself Londy alone I believe everything in the dream It’s too red I don’t know how to while away Every second every minute happily

All those thick books that we read together I burnt them cos I felt cold in the summer The wind is so storng it blew up all the pages They flew round me, trapped me like three hundred cages All those things we told each other Today I can’t remember any longer I tried to run my diary get some memories But in vain cos I don’t even remember you name Something in my mind Keeps me from knowing what’s inside From time to time I ask why... Not because I wonder why I wanna fly not because I have seen the blue sky So many desires For all the things we choose in our lives Do you have time to get tired When you are just a passer by It’s time to realise it’s all designed All dishes we cooked together They tasted sweet but now they ‘ve all gone bitter Still i keep them in my refrigerator They stink so much but I eat them as appetizers All those dreams we made together Like bubbles they flew up and burst in the air Once we were naive enought to chase after them We used to fall but hey so what We’re truly happy

Patronage 02:43
Beauty you may have it on your face But you haven’t goty enough grace To be a million welcomed babe Sorry I think you’re far too vain But you haven’t goty enough brains To be a paerson that I respect Flowery and complicated writing Is a sign of intellectual strength No comment on all everyday happenings Is a prerequisite to be cool Oh I’d better shut my mouth Speaking freench to those who don’t know it Is a way to show that you’re superior Let’s roll our tongues without necessity So all of the people will think we are well-educated

I Know 04:28
I’ve got a house but its not my home I’ve got some friends but I’m still alone I’ve got a dream but it won’t come true This I know I know the stars twinkle every night I see the clouds bloccking all the light I know that we can’t be together even if we want I know I know And so the sunset sunrise I’m used to And all the days and weeks and years I’ve gone through The weather is too much too cold here I’d rather stay there for the rest of my life I’ve got some clothes but I still feel cold I’ve tried to try but they still says no I feel so lonely all the time but there’s no one to hold I p ushed the door but it’s too be pulled I went along and became a fool I went to buy the trumpet I’d been saving for But it’s sold it’s sold it’s sold

Jim 02:18
Though you’ve got a girlfriend I still wanna hold your lovely hand I feel a bit guilty And I know she will be mad at me Sunday afternoon you don’t have to work But you have to go and see her kiss her I wish it were just my hallucination Oh jim Could you just indulge me It seems Instead you will ignore me Sunbeams They couldn’t help but laugh at me I left you a message And now you know that i fall for you Now it’s gone to this stage And everyone thinks that I’m fool Will I be able to be her one day To accompany you along the way Will you ask me out in a sunny sunday afternoon

I like imagining randomly alone Sitting under a tree suddenly singing randomly Mayb ein daily life you also like doing so I also like travelling round randomly in a bus looking at the landscapes around Like having a date with the stars exploring the sky I never care about the people and things around me I have my own way to be happy In the daydream no control is needed When I see you my face gets hot I don’t wanna think of anything else You and I holding our hands flying in the sky In dhe daydream no border is needed I like going to the park running around randomly thre Staring at the sontes on the ground shouting randomly Maybe in fact you and I are the same I also like imagining travelling in a trin Coming right towards you Like you and I jumping into a spaceship visiting yours

about

Welcome to the charming pop world of THE PANCAKES; in other words, the world of a girl from Hong Kong called Dejay that writes and performs truly endearing pop music.

After being part of bands such as THE POSTCARD, GINGER BISCUITS or THE TRICYCLE RIDERS, one day Dejay decided to start making music on her own. Besides making music she also organizes gigs, writes a fanzine called “Sofa” and runs her own label, Rewind Records. Here she releases not only PANCAKES stuff but also by other bands, like French outfit CARTOUCH.

Maybe you first met Dejay through “Captain curtain”, the seven inch by THE PANCAKES that we released in our single club some months ago. Now we present her first album for Elefant, which consists in a selection of the best songs out of her two albums, originally released only for Hong Kong.

Despite being very young and having quite a brief career, Dejay has already managed to obtain certain success in her country. Her two albums have worked pretty well there, and some of her songs have been used in tv commercials and shows. For example, “Patronage” (included in this album) was used in a tv commercial for one of the most important banks in Hong Kong. Dejay herself appears on another commercial, this time for an electric company, talking about how she started making music as THE PANCAKES. She has even written some songs for a very famous and very international brand of Spanish beer!

The sound of THE PANCAKES can be defined as happy endearing techno pop, bouncy and colourful. The natural charms of her music are enhanced by that loving naïve touch only to be found in some Eastern pop bands, so we cannot help thinking of the likes of SHONEN KNIFE, specially when Dejay uses her native Chinese in tracks such as “Mood yau guy why”. We could also file her close to Uk’s SUPERCUTE (a band Dejay admires) or Elefant popsters LA MONJA ENANA. Pop effervescence for all the family.

Opening “Abenteuer” and its delightful chorus; “Stupid star”, also included in our “Elefant dosmiluno” sample; the lovingly absurd “Nonsense poetry” ... these are just some of the most outstanding tracks in the album. Though each and every one will make you smile and enjoy the world of THE PANCAKES.
