dopo qualche cambio di formazione e una discreta gavetta di concerti sparsi per la provincia di bologna (a volte anche più in là) esce il primo album "another ball in the hole". il gruppo comincia a farsi conoscere e a girare l'Italia.
gruppo ska/rock di 7 elementi, propone sonorità originali ed aggressive, riconducibili in qualche modo al punk clashiano e alle nuove tendenze post punk della west coast americana.
dopo quasi 3 anni di fatiche esce sotto la loro etichetta "LBC records" il secondo lavoro della band: "king of the fools", autoprodotto in collaborazione con l'officina estragon di bologna.

Philadelphia
Le Braghe Corte Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Waiting for something new in my boring life
Then I saw this bird walking next to me
2 hours later we were fucking in my good old bed
So you got to give it back to me
You got to give it back to me
I fucked my life but I want it back
I was wandering downtown in philadelphia
Waiting for something new in my boring life
I met some friends in the park feeling just like me
We smoked joints and washed away the day
The song Philadelphia by Le Braghe Corte narrates the story of the singer seeking something new in his mundane life while wandering around downtown Philadelphia. The lyrics convey a sense of the character's disillusionment with his life and the need for a change. The use of explicit language and sexual references in the second verse depicts the character's desperation for excitement and the repercussions of his actions. The repetition of the line "You got to give it back to me" alludes to the notion of wanting to take control of one's life, reminiscent of a plea to reclaim what's lost.
Despite the darker undertones of the lyrics, the song's upbeat tune and catchy melodic structure effectively captures the essence of youthful exuberance and the quest for a carefree existence. The line "We smoked joints and washed away the day" is almost cathartic in its depiction of the release of pent-up emotions and frustration through recreational drug use, providing a semblance of temporary relief from the humdrum of everyday life. The song Philadelphia is a testament to the band's ability to convey the complexities of the human psyche through their art and engage listeners through a captivating aural experience.

I was wandering downtown in philadelphia
I aimlessly roamed the streets of Philadelphia
Waiting for something new in my boring life
Yearning for excitement in my monotonous existence
Then I saw this bird walking next to me
Suddenly, I noticed an attractive person walking beside me
2 hours later we were fucking in my good old bed
After a couple of hours, we engaged in sexual activity in my usual bed
So you got to give it back to me
I deserve restitution for my loss
You got to give it back to me
You are obligated to return what you took from me
I fucked my life but I want it back
I made poor decisions that negatively impacted my life, but I desire to reclaim it
Tell me not again
I implore you to refrain from repeating past mistakes
I was wandering downtown in philadelphia
Once more, I was aimlessly roaming the streets of Philadelphia
Waiting for something new in my boring life
Continuing to seek novelty in my mundane existence
I met some friends in the park feeling just like me
I encountered like-minded individuals in the park
We smoked joints and washed away the day
We partook in smoking cannabis and relaxed, forgetting about the day's troubles
