Lyrics
(for a rough English translation, see below the Spanish lyrics)

Siglo 1, segun un pringao. La tierra solita con sus plantitas,
habitantes a cuatro patas,y por supuesto sin manchar,qué!
Y de repente al creador se le ocurrió que semejante puta,
putadon, creó a ellos y ellas, ellos y ellas.
Y se juntaron y follaron hasta que crearon el mogollón,
el mogollón. Ellos y ellas. Se robaron, se mataron se escupieron.
¡Qué mal aliento! Suicidas; y traidos quizás de otros planetas,
y ¿por qué no?, tal vez sí, ¿y por qué no?

Sabes que Seguimos en las calles
Yo Tengo hambre, ya lo sé hermano,
Seguimos en las calles

Y al mismo tiempo robamos a millones y millones de niños
su derecho de papear. Os da igual, por igual,
siempre y cuando, siempre y cuando el pijo de mierda
lleve su reloj, y no marque las horas,
pues tengo miedo a envejecer, eh!,a envejecer.
Chorizos demócratas, nazis de papel, embusteros de corbata,
juegan a vivir de ti, de mí, del niños

Siglo 21, nada más que soltamos
porquería, trastos, humos, envases, productos.
Compre!, lo necesita, Compre!, lo necesita.
Y después de todo esto, ¿sabéis lo que pienso?:
que os vais a comer todos lo que se comió mi abuela.
Y ¿qué se comió mi abuela?
Y ¿qué se comió mi abuela?
¡El cipote de mi abuelo!

¡Que ay qué penita pena da!

21st Century

In the first century, according to some idiot,
the earth was alone with its plants and four-legged inhabitants,
and of course without a blemish!
And suddenly the creator had an idea,
and a whore created men and women.
And they got together and fucked
until they created this mess of humanity, men and women.
They stole, killed and spat at each other.
What bad breath! Suicidal people;
perhaps brought from other planets,
and why not, perhaps yes, and why not?

You know that we are still in the street,
I am hungry, I know it, bro,
We are still in the street

and at the same time we steal the right to eat
from millions and millions of children.
You don’t care, You don’t care, as long as,
as long as the rich piles of shit have their watches,
but can’t tell the time.
As I am scared of getting old, oh! Getting old,
Democratic pigs. Nazi paper shufflers, liars with ties,
play while they live off you, me, and the children

21st Century, We only produce
crap, garbage, pollution, packages, products.
Buy this! You need it, Buy this! You need it!.
And after all this, you know what I think?
That you are going to eat what my grandmother ate.
And what did my grandmother eat?
And what did my grandmother eat?
My grandfather’s cock!

What a pity, What a fucking shame!

Lyrics

Smoke rings are twirling
Around this place
Shadows on backdrops
Contours of an unknown face

Take me to another place
Remind me of my memories
Lost in space
Lost in time
Will you ever leave this place?
Shadows on the backdrops
Contours of my unknown face

Lost in space

Lost in time

We’re moving slowly
She’s in no race
Across a lonely open sky
It’s down to us we’ve set the pace

Running round and keeping up
Conforming to the rules
Being told that you’re a loser
To your face

Lost in space

Lost in time

Lyrics:

You took away my dreams and gave me nightmares
Made me feel alone in a crowded room
Left me standing while you were sitting
I gave you sunshine you fled to the moon

You made me promises that you knew you’d broken
Made me believe that I was wrong
You left me out here on the ocean
Drifting deeper into the unknown

You took me to a strange land and left me stranded
Trying to find my way back home
You left me out out here on an island
Wondering what it was that I did wrong

Got to find my way

Time to leave, time to believe
Free, free, now I’m free free free to be just me
Free to be just me
It’s time to leave

You took away my freedom and made me a prisoner
Locked the door and threw away the key
I was looking outside from the inside, honey
You made me feel trapped instead of free

You took me to a strange land and left me travelling
Trying to find my way back home
You left me out here on an island
Wondering what it was that I did wrong

Got to find my way

Time to leave, time to believe
Free, free, now I’m free free free to be just me
Free to be just me
It’s time to leave

dj loopez and Paul Vedant have previously worked together as Headspace, releasing The Journey album in 2002. They have also produced, recorded and engineered other artists as Funky Finca Productions. They wanted to expand into a more global sound and so began working with Manu el Santero after partying together at various Andalucian festivals. The nu-funk sound developed from 2-3 days of jamming on lost full moon weekends in a remote cabin in the Andalucian foothills. With the ethos of capturing creativity in spontaneity.

nu-funk is a unique collaboration between three artists from different ends of the musical spectrum. A tribal fusion of biology and technology.

Manu el Santero (flamenco and electric guitar, bass, various percussion and vocals) has his roots in the Andalucian flamenco scene and has played around Europe and in the US. He has also played with artists from different styles. Nu-funk is his first venture as a musician into a more electronic dance area.

dj loopez (vocals, samples and production) has a circus heritage, coming from a long line of UK performing artists. As a dj he played trance techno. He has extensive recording, engineering and production experience.

Paul Vedant (keyboards, guitar, bass, drum programming, vocals and production) came through folk, country, gospel, pop, ambient, and played in various bands in the Australian alternative scene, including Box the Jesuit and The Bird Dissolves in the early 90s. More recently he has explored the electronic dance scene.
