HARRI & HOURE
JACK-IN-THE-BOX 

Album type: Demo cassette
Release year: 1997
Genre: Pop Rock

These three songs were our first studio recordings. 
We got some cheap studio time because the studio owner Sammy Roiha had an idea to test some new settings, equipment or whatever. Furthermore he 
brought his drummer friend to record the live drums. 
The idea was to record some of the best songs of our year long career.

The sessions were pretty abysmal, a learning process in many ways. Harri learned that he couldn't play the bass, Houre learned that while sick he doesn't sound too good and whatnot. 

We have a box of demo tapes lying around. The sleeve notes (in Finnish) are pretty entertaining. Send us a message if you would like to obtain a copy.

Lyhyesti suomeksi: Vanha paska on paskaa.

"There's never any answers, there's only bad questions"


1. CEREAL SEA-SON

There's exciting shape in every box
Good taste is always reason to stop
There's ex-girlfriends in every box
Nice babe is always reason to stop

Now you have seen it all
There's no reason to give more
There's no reason to go on
Why should I take it more

A hole dominate it every way
I'm not part of that game
A hole dominate it by the way
I'm not actor on that foolish game 

Now you have seen it all
There's no reason to give more
There's no reason to go on
Why should I take it more

2. COPYCAT

Let me come
But prepare to surprise
Beneath the dirt and smell
Well I don't feel that well

I am but are you?
There's never any answers
There's only bad questions

This makes too much sense
And too much sense is too bad
This one is dedicated
To the one I love

Am I but you are?
There's never any answers
There's only bad questions

MISS UNWANTED

It's not your fault that you are slow
It's not your fault that god forget
It's not your fault that things go wrong
(it's not your fault) roses don't make your bed
It's not your fault that you are dumb
It's not your fault that people don't care 
It's not your fault that they don't understand
(It's not your fault) life isn't fare

Hey Miss Unwanted
Hey Miss Simple
Where's your sense

It's not your fault that you are slow
It's not your fault that you are dumb

Hey Miss Unwanted
Hey Miss Simple
Where's your sense

Hey Miss Unwanted
Hey Miss Stupid
Where's your friends
Your self-defence
