about

Eintrag eines italienischen Zauberbuches aus dem 17. Jahrhundert. Beschrieben wird ein Ritual zur Beschaffung eines Unsichtbarkeitsumhangs. Hier wird unter anderem das Holz eines Galgens und Graberde benutzt um einen Dämon herbeizurufen. Diesem Dämon gibt man daraufhin ein Pizzabrot. Als Tauschobjekt erhält man daraufhin einen Unsichtbarkeitsumhang vom Dämon. Das Lied wird aus der Sicht des Burgherren erzählt, für den der Dämon arbeiten und Pizza liefern muss.

lyrics

Pizza Demon

Pizza Demon, bring me my wine
Pizza Demon, don't start to cry
Pizza Demon, I'm hungry and tired
The dining hall is empty and the fire door's blocked
I'm about to lose my patience and the toilet's still clogged

Pizza Demon, this ain't no game
Pizza Demon, you ain't got no last name
Pizza Demon, no go set straight that frame
There's a reason why you're working here, you twelve minutes late
I wanna talk to the manager and you smell like sulfate

You were born to serve and listen and to hear my advice
And your only occupation was to get pizza-pies

I play the Pizza-Rag!

Pizza Demon, you returned from your trip
Oh Pizza Demon, what workmanship
Now Pizza Demon, go hand me my whip
Some people crave for money, love, luck or gasoline
But all I want for breakfast is Italian cuisine

Pizza Demon, you've earned your liberty
Pizza Demon, now eat Pizza and be free
Pizza Demon, with Gorgonzola and Brie
There's nothing here that binds you more, your spirit's released
I can finally live my dream so oily and greased

You were born to serve and listen and to hear my advice
And your only occupation was to get pizza-pies

I play the Pizza-Rag!

Great Bluegrass from the Country and Western center of eastern Germany: Leipzig. Richard Limbert

Waste Coast
by CBUS

An awesome dark surfrock band from the Rhineland. That's what a depressed surfer boy must have stuck on repeat in his head. Richard Limbert
go to album
Brambles
by Alastair Gordon

An introspective, melancholic EP with strong folk vibes here. This is an antithetical mix of confessional singer-songwriter music and extroverted folk songs. If you don't like this, I can't help you. Richard Limbert
