Beneath the young ones on torn feet There ́s a world of defeat Loaded with sounds to stray from the answer Loaded on medicine to make me believe Power slipped Now the master’s off to sea without you Power slipped Now the master’s off to sea without you Tell me what you want from me And I’ll make you believe Forever’s never coming And I’ll always save you a seat Peel a lemon in the sky Make lemonade from the light Tell you we’ll last another life Peel a lemon in the sky Make lemonade from the light But all my words are dull lies There’s a teeth mark from our time Rarely shown the awards from the fault line I know you best when you’re talking to others Power slips and once I found you I couldn’t find you Power slips and once I found you I couldn’t find you I know you best when you’re talking to others Tell me what you want from me And I’ll make you believe Forever’s never coming And I’ll always save you a seat Peel a lemon in the sky Make lemonade from the light Tell you we’ll last another life Peel a lemon in the sky Make lemonade from the light But all my words are dull lies

Thinking of aiming the light of a star on the projects Thinking of asking a star to lead my tribe As long as I’m around you’re good Love’s the message Shocked to know Let it be known Thinking of lobbying for a home and a key to life All the kids down the street Bayonets for the hard times Hard times Really hope I don’t color your mind Crayons a bloodline of loss Christ son of Christ on the cross You’ve got heart but no use of it you said You’re lost like me But you’re welcome to stay and see me through Just want to leave it there Pull my hair Black sunday Some day we’ll get to take a walk outside One great wave Curse the sane Love the way you look Choose you before me to be saved Thinking of aiming the light of a star on the projects Thinking of asking a star to lead my tribe As long as I’m around you’re good Love’s the message Shocked to know Let it be known Thinking of lobbying for a home and a key to life All the kids down the street Bayonets for the hard times Hard times

I imagine I imagine This is how it feels when you’re nothing at all And it shows Terror take back what’s mine Go ahead love Go ahead love You’re all I have to lose Light Settle where we left birds to dive Settle where we left them Slave I imagine I imagine This is how it feels when you’re nothing at all And you know Terror take back what’s mine Terror take what’s mine When I left you were louder than me Dead set All that said all I’m saying If you blame anyone for love it’s me Stop right where you stand Should have known when to fold them Slave number one Slave number one Misery’s all there’s left where we left love I know I know Men always yield at your will It means nothing at all Seen in my head or heard Terror take what’s mine Go ahead love Go ahead love Only the mortal lose And the tide settles where we left birds to dive Settle where we left those birds to dive When I left you were louder than me Dead set All that said all I’m saying If you blame anyone for love it’s me Stop right where you stand Should have known when to fold them Slave number one Slave number one Stop

Balancing your face in the presence of others May hold the ship up for a while I’m hunting large cats from a helicopter As water slips off the balcony’s sides So if you want to get out clean and go somewhere Need a wooden Jesus there by your side If it’s blue or blue you crave You’re queuing up at the end of some line I’ve got nothing on my mind I’m hunting large cats from a helicopter Hunting large cats from a helicopter here While water slips over the balcony’s sides Press play on decay Hit me up at the right time I’ve got nothing on my mind Hunting large cats from a helicopter So if you want to go somewhere get out clean I’m not it Taste the strawberries in your dreams I’m mad Ruin me now I’ve been ahead all my life Been ahead all my life Call me cancer Call me a slave to things that wither and die I’m rated high or highest number Run a cut off finger over my lip Tear down the satellite dish Lucky odd little number So if you would like to get out clean and go somewhere Need a wooden Jesus there by your side If it’s blue or blue you crave You’re queuing up at the end of some line The end of some line So if you’d like to get out clean and go somewhere Need a wooden Jesus there by your side If it’s blueberries or pills you crave you’re queuing up in the right line

Walls block entries to what you ́re not Blue old ink a lot to say Never been hollow at heart And they say that you are my enemy But you are my life’s saviour Call me your wild desire Reaper of all your dreams And they all say that you are The Body on my bones Sky’s black stamp Black Eyelids chase a smile that I doubt Sky’s black stamp Black Eyelids chase a smile that I doubt They say that you are my enemy But you are my life’s saviour Call me your wild desire Reaper of all your dreams And they all say that you are my enemy But you are my life’s saviour And I’m your wild desire Reaper of all your dreams Sky’s black stamp Black Eyelids chase a smile that I doubt Sky’s black stamp Black Eyelids chase a smile that I doubt Black Eyelids

I’m knees deep on these on these legs I’m knife deep in your neck Solemnly swear I’d die When you leave that train will crash Curve on that smile Darling with a discount between the lines Caught with a restless word on your mind Written on the mistake you’ve made Oh let her search for the pills Hope it will fit your taste Make you laugh at life again Figures how you put a lock on the lid No need to climb a mountain to die on a hill I’m too weak for the will I’m too cheap for a thrill Solemnly swear I’ll try When you leave that train will crash Curve on your smile Darling with a discount between the lines Oh let her search for the pills Hope it will fit your taste Make you laugh at life again Figures how you put a lock on the lid No need to climb a mountain to die on the hill I’m knees deep on these on these legs I’m knife deep in your neck Solemnly swear I’d die

about

Cancer is a duo consisting of When Saints Go Machine lead singer and producer Nikolaj Manuel Vonsild and Chorus Grant lead singer and guitarist Kristian Finne Kristensen. "Ragazzi" is the first EP by Cancer.

The songs on "Ragazzi" are both radical and beautiful future ballads oozing with presence, a restless calm and out-of-this-world melodiousness which cuts through the gamut of emotions with a deeply melancholic undercurrent.

"Ragazzi" consists of 6 songs lasting well over 30 minutes. Nis Bysted, who has also worked with bands like, Iceage, Choir of Young Believers & his own band Thulebasen, produced the record alongside Nikolaj & Kristian.

The richness of sound found in "Ragazzi" arises from the energy and subtle ferocity created in recording live instruments, as well as a great wealth of detail and poetic meticulousness in the lyrics. Nikolaj & Kristian have written 6 songs that lyrically take place in the mind’s peripheral areas; where everything is at stake. The phonetics of the lyrics have shaped the music just as much as the other way around
