    This Digipak version comes with a beautiful 16 page booklet that includes all the lyrics and an illustration for each track.

    No.2 is City Weezle's lastest offering after a long Haitus
    taken due to disbanding in 2010.

    It's the fruit of years of work,
    The album was written and recorded in various beautiful
    and precarious places from the backwaters of Ireland to the metropoles of France
    and Japan over a 4 year period.

    The Album is Entitled "No.2"
    to understand the meaning of the title one only has to refence peepee as No.1
    Yet it's also their second full length LP to date.

    The album offers 8 tracks and can be thought of as a Cassette or
    Vynil having 2 different sides with 4 tracks on each.

    The First side can be considered the European side as it doesn't include the bands usual swing rock grooves and the tracks
    have different European themes and sounds.

    The Second side can be considered the American side as the tracks have a more of an American sound from a melvinsy tune to a bluesy tune to a twisted beach boys tune to a Swingy tune.

    This album is a statement that City Weezle is a band capable of evolving and exploring different sounds as they look forward to
    Getting back on track and hitting the stage again with a great live show and coming back as soon as possible with another LP
    of new and exciting material.

    One is advised to read the lyrics as they add to the experience but it's not neccessary to understand the Funny depths of this music.

    The goal of this Album is to keep you entertained with a fun, sharing, abundant and giving energy.
    Balls out! caution to the wind! Let City Weezle Rock you!
    Enjoy No.2! (responsibly with precaution.)

about

Initially there was just the Intro music that was written on guitar
Composed after watching the movie "Hollow Man"(2000) several times
Which certainly had an influence on the colour of the Intro Cadence.

The music for the rest of the track was written with a movie vibe in mind
It could probably be described as Megadeth meets Oingo Boingo(or maybe not).

At that stage the track was entitle "Film Music", and given the super hero kind of vibe off the track,
The southpark Character "Captain Hindsight" was considered as the subject matter and title for the track
But realizing that the plagarism would be too much, we sought to find a pointless super hero.

Within the walls of Clonmel in Tipperary,Tommy(T-dawg)Buckley came up with the name "Introspective man",
from there Simon(Frontman,Lyricist) Came up with what he would consider to be his best lyrics to date and so
"Captain introspective" came to life and he's been overthinking things ever since.

lyrics

Sitting around drinking cups of tea,
contemplating my complexity,
Introspecting my intricacy,
Well how Complex is my personality?
Well it’s as complex as a complex personality could be,
Or is it? you see I question me
To define my own reality. Is it a question of morality?
No! It's just a question of who I am but who am I?
I know I'm not a bird,Not a plane,
Not quite mad but quite insane

Chorus
Question's begging answers
Begging questions begging
Answers begging questions
Begging answers begging doubt.

That question certainly leaves an inkling of uncertainty.
Oh who should I be? What should I do?
Well tell me what do you do when you haven't got a clue?
I'm thinking of number 1 whilst taking a number 2,
Thinkin' o' you! That's really me in the third person you see it's always about you!
And by saying it's always about you I really mean it's always about Me!
I'm Captain Introspective with the power of self analaysis,
I'm the master of my own disaster which is this mental Paralysis

Chorus(repeats)

I'm Flying high tonight
My own thoughts are My Kryptonite

Maybe Just Maybe I'm crazy about myself
Maybe Just Maybe I'm God it can't be nothing else

Well excuse my introspection
But it's a mirror of self reflection
That gives me this auto erotic erection
I'm thinkin of it but I might be thinkin'
of it a little bit too much
It's hard,It's Hard!
And it's growing upon my inspection
Why It's right here under my nose
But I just can't seem to put my finger on it
It's just the wit of a nitwit
who can't Stand the thought of his own thoughts
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
