Shine a light
Take your time
Gonna find
My peace of mind
Shine a light
Take your time
Gonna find
My peace of mind
Yellow duckies, daisies, pancakes too
Ponies and rainbows, milkshaked blues
Yellow duckies, daisies, pancakes too
Kitties on synths in the space blue
Ooh… turn me on
Shine a light
Overnight
Gonna try
to make you mine
Shine a light
Overnight
Gonna try
to make you mine
Yellow duckies, daisies, pancakes too
Ponies and rainbows, milkshaked blues
Yellow duckies, daisies, pancakes too
Kitties on synths in the space blue
Oooh… turn me on
And when you think of her
she dances in the starry sky
don’t care for nothing but yourself
And when you dream of her
she slides under your covers, don’t
be scared of nothing, free your soul
Choke her between your sheets
and scream in reverse
She’s everything but everything
must come to the end
Yellow duckies, daisies, pancakes too
Ponies and rainbows, milkshaked blues
Yellow duckies, daisies, pancakes too
Kitties on synths in the space blue
Oooh… turn me on
Upside down she’s floating far from solid ground
Got to take off faster than the speed of sound
I can see the space is slowly fading in
I must find my way to rise and never die
Never die
I’m high I win the gravity of the floor
and down she falls…

Lyrics: D. D’Avanzo, E. Sterbini
Sterbus are from Rome, but their true musical spirit wanders much further afield, from the joyful power-pop of The Lemon
Twigs to the rainy Portland of Elliott Smith and certainly all the South of England's ground-soils Cardiacs and XTC.
"Solar Barbecue" marks their comeback with a new ALL-INSTRUMENTAL opus centered around funny chords, frantic paces and exhilarating arrangements....more
Psychedelia, extremely well crafted pop tunes, proggy structures, crammed with tasty chords and gorgeous melodies... Good singing, good playing. A movie for the ears. Sterbus
Canterbury, ironic lyrics, complex arrangements, consistent musicianship but always serving the songs. Brilliant italian band from Palermo (Sicily). Does humor belongs in Prog? (spoiler: yes) Sterbus
A very talented singer-songwriter from Genoa (Italy) with a gift for impeccable tunes and intelligent lyrics. Writes, produces and plays all by himself. And he loves Cardiacs. What else? Sterbus
In 2019, I was in Salisbury and attended the Alphabet Business Convention without knowing any artist. Lost Crowns was my favourite band that played there. Pablo P.
Soaring theatrical catchy rock and pop tunes that are not boring and segue and evolve linearly from one to the next. If they sound this big with DIY production, imagine how insanely huge they’d sound with big time production. Sound in the neighborhoods of Bowie, Floyd, and Cardiacs. This whole record moves me and I can’t pick a favorite song. marc_ian
