La Danza De Las Horas
04:24
|

|
¡Levántense! ¡muévanse!
...Va a comenzar
2 y 3 ¡siéntense!... para comer
¡Párense! ¡túmbense!... para morir

Viva Lo Imposible!

Perdido en el tiempo
Ya no me encuentro
Sólo pienso
Sólo recuerdo
Vivo dormido
Como despierto
Tengo sueño
Ahora me duermo
No ver nada
No ser nadie
Ya no quiero
Expresarme
En este viaje
Ya no te veo
Al otro lado
No existe el tiempo
Aliento negro
Artro en los dedos
Ahora quiero
Parar el tiempo
Cada minuto
Olvido, me muevo
Es cansado
Estarse quieto
Ya no viajo
Ya no sueño
Es posible
Ahora te veo
Aquí me quedo
Ahora lo entiendo
Es imposible
Perder el tiempo

Tortilla Estatal
02:01
|
|||
|
Tenga cuidado por favor
Yo sólo busco lo mejor
Quiero tortilla estatal
No se equivoque embaucador
Está usted hablándole a un señor
Deme tortilla estatal
Y todos juntos a cantar
Trala lara la la la la
Quiero tortilla estatal

Choquetín
02:39
|
|||
|
Patino con las palabras
Choco con las miradas
Esquivo cualquier insulto
Hay chispas si me asusto
En la gran feria choquetín
Donde van todos contra mí
Persigo a la sonrisa
Que todo lo amortigua
Giro hacia la calma
Las fichas no se acaban
|

El Halcón Milenario
03:30
|
|||
|
Vuela el halcón milenario
De viaje interplanetario
Apurando el combustible
Llegarán al extrarradio
Un espía en la cantina
Saca a bailar a Chewbacca
La guerra de las galaxias
El imperio contraataca
Ahora acecha el enemigo
Le persiguen por el barrio
Lanzaderas del imperio
Han solo ya está borracho
Nunca podrán alcanzarle
Ni robarle el contrabando
La fuerza del lado oscuro
No llega al hiperespacio
|
||||
6. |
Timba
03:00
|
|||
|
Tengo los ojos que van a saltar
Rojos de sangre cansada al mirar
¿Dónde me lleva esta gente? ¡piedad!
¿Y si de paso vamos al hostal?
Esto es lo que me ha pasado
Pues de timba me han llevado
Ni un minuto he descansado

Mas Allá
02:18
|
|||
|
Una bocanada
Como una patada
No me hagas de lado
No me dices nada
Más allá me siento
Más que acà
Nada más que dejarlo pasar
Es lo que quiero
No me veo gente
No sé que hago aquí
De esta parte a un tiempo
¿Qué hago aquí?
No sé, no sé, no sé
Quiero, quiero, quiero
No sé, no sé, no sé
|

Se Inundó El Local
04:02
|
|||
|
No puedo ensayar
Se inundó el local
Pero menos mal
Si puedo nadar
Y a una amiga
Voy a invitar
A hacer top-less
Sobre el marshall-talmus
Dile al albañil
Que no venga ya
Es mejor así
Aún hay que probar
A hacer surf
Con las guitarras
Y a pescar desde el timbal
|
||||
10. |
El Peine De La Tortuga
02:31
|
|||
|
Voy silbándole a los pies
Muevo a la gente
Dando vueltas sobre mí
¡Corre, toma tu premio
El peine de la tortuga!
Atrapado con tu luz
Mato a la gente
Dando vueltas sobre ti
¡Corre, toma tu premio
El peine de la tortuga!
|
||||
11. |
Bolsillo
03:38
|
|||
|
Sácalo ya
Lo tienes que tener
Ponte a palpar
Dentro lo tendrás
Ábrelo
Llénalo
Y déjame que busque yo
|

Qué Poquita Cosa
02:25
|
|||
|
Tiene unas piernitas
Como las cuerdas de una guitarra
Tiene unas manitas
Que parecen una araña
¡Qué poquita cosa!
Tiene una sonrisa que la esconde de las miradas
Tiene unos ojazos
Que le ocupan toda la cara
¡Qué poquita cosa!
|
||||
13. |
Me Presta
01:55
|
|||
|
Voy al aeropuerto
Quiero irme a mi tierra
Qué calor que tengo
Esto no me presta
¡No me da más!

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Since in 1989 Guillermo, Murky, Jaime and Manuel adopted, in a specially lucid moment, the name of the hopeless policeman out from the book “A Confederacy Of Dunces” (Patrolman Mancuso!), this -lucidity- has been one of their main characteristics. They’ve been aliens to any movements or hypes which have occurred around them in this time, and have done a coherent, everascending work, until they have reached a point where, although keeping their reknown simplicity and impudence, they finally get to nonchalantly reflect an iconoclastic, determinedly different sound. They still are magnificent and perverse (more than ever!), though they are less clumsy now; but that’s the only considerable change, because they still build up bright melodies on truly original songs, with a charming lunatic attitude and a broad range of ideas and influences.
After the release of the witty single “El Halcón Milenario” (“The Millennial Hawk”; everybody knows now how George Lucas took advantage of the stretch of this great song to remake some effects from his famous galactic trilogy and show it again in selected screens worldwide), “Tortilla Estatal” means the beginning of a new, hopeful era in the career of PATRULLERO MANCUSO: is their third official album already, but they take the challenge with the rashness and shamelessness of total beginners, with a healthy punk philosophy which takes them to co-produce the album and design the cover for themselves (done by Murky after some original prints by Spanish/Belgian underground artist Olaf Ladousse).
In their hilarious concept of “XVIth Century Rock” you can put anything: THE PASTELS naïveté goes hand by hand with XTC’s extravaganza in a refreshing, quite eccentric, bittersweet, invigorating cocktail. “Viva Lo Imposible”, says a female-lead recitative instrumental which could easily be by labelmates BEEF: certainly, their total lack of prejudices lets wide open a lot of doors to unknown, tempting places. Their coolest lyrics reflect a peculiar sense of humour, encircled with a pure, naked of any artifices sound, and caressed by imaginative, perfect backing vocals (“Choquetín”, “El Peine De La Tortuga”).
“Qué Poquita Cosa” is surely the closest that PATRULLERO MANCUSO can get to a tender love song, but they quickly leave to the airport (“Me Presta”), and you are left with a feeling of desperately needing to listen to the whole record again. Then “La Danza De Las Horas” comes again, and you realize that everything is cyclic in this life, and that you won’t be able to hide anymore from the Patrolman. For God’s sake, you just can’t help it!
