lyrics

This engineer
has got the magic in his hand
Turning sea into land

Fails into succes
Rags in to riches
Stars into reach

Steel into bridges
Steel into towers
Steel into plows

Nobody around
the welfare row

Stone into buildings
Sand into glass
Making it all affordable to the mass

Trees into matches
Tears into cash
Headaches into pill boxes
Ready to ship across

Glaciers into bottles
Cows into cans
A Mortgage on your mother
Or sleep in a van

Beaches into posters
What if you can
Each engineer ‘s got the magic in his hand

But you can’t bring her back to me
Engineer us a future, please

High tide will lift up all boats
Except the ones that carry your loads (x2)

Images into realness
What if you can
Each engineer ‘s got the magic in his hand
But you can’t bring her back to me
Engineer us a future, please

Nine And ½ is fresh, funky, danceable and sometimes a bit weird. Classic pop songs with groovy guitars, contemporary beats and Brazilian sexiness.

Their debut album 'Vai Baby Volta' will be released on April 29 2022. ... more
