about

from A Classic Guide To No Man's Land, Germany
Non Credo's very first release, from 1988

lyrics

Cautious, chosen words of rhyme
Precious, stolen bits of time,
spent in trying to define
his need

Blankly staring into space
Shadows dancing 'cross his face,
minding only that he makes
no move

He's forgotten, time stands still
All the words stopped up his quill
Paper can't catch the spill
of thought

Has the clock stopped?
Is it shifting gears?
Have the pipes blocked?
After all these years?
Has the clock stopped?
Has the clock stopped?

Constant dripping in the sink
Is it the sound of thoughts you think
Feels as though you haven't blinked
in days

Countless rings 'round the coffee mug
Nervous dreams drowned by drugs
Wonder if you pulled the plug
too late

The hand drops to take it's turn
His pen has left the page to burn
A Camel, he has to learn,
can't write

Has the clock stopped?
Is it shifting gears?
Have the pipes blocked?
After all these years?
Has the clock stopped?
Has the clock stopped?

Non Credo Los Angeles, California

Non Credo is the duo of Joe Berardi and Kira Vollman. Their enchanting songs and evocative moods draw from all styles, from contemporary experimental forms to Saturday morning cartoons to film scores to pygmy war chants. Be prepared to get seasick, be beaten up, thrown in jail, fall in love, contract an STD, have your heart broken, your wallet stolen, get shanghaied, hog tied and crucified. ... more
