I CAN'T IMAGINE MYSELF (Caesar Gergess/Sly Wysiwyg) I can’t, I can’t, can’t I can’t imagine myself I can’t imagine being you I can’t imagine myself I can’t imagine being you I CAN'T IMAGINE MYSELF I CAN'T IMAGINE BEING YOU Hey ! Who do you think you are? Hey ! I’m better than you by far I can see it in your eyes The way you despise Who’s got a crush on you The lies you disguise With your suits and your ties One day will tell on you Woah ! I CAN'T IMAGINE MYSELF I CAN'T IMAGINE BEING YOU Hey ! Who do you think you are? Hey ! I’m the one who’s a star Your style is obsolete I’m wise I’m cool and neat I’m going to step on you You feel so incomplete You lie you steal and cheat You think I’m stuck on you Woah! I CAN'T IMAGINE MYSELF I CAN'T IMAGINE BEING YOU I can’t, I can’t, I can’t, I can’t, I can’t

FORBIDDEN PLEASURES (Caesar Gergess/Romain Curtis) Here we are, once again On the dancefloor, sipping drinks Drinks are soft potions of sex Mix the mix, feel the effects The Dj spins, the substance soars The head heats up and spins some more Bodies shake, twist and move Move closer ‘til close is close Feel my hand, touch your skin Sweap the sweat, lick your chin Uninhibited and obscene Get down on me love supreme Are we being watched, I don’t care The more they watch, the more you dare My hands release your lovely head I am warned out and nearly dead I WANNA LOVE YOU BUT I’M LOST IN FORBIDDEN PLEASURES I WANNA GIVE YOU LOVE BUT I’M LOST IN FORBIDDEN PLEASURES Here we go and dance some more Another drink and more is more I twitch and bounce on demand Electric bolts numb my hands Morpheus prince of sleep Pulls me down until deep is deep Time goes by, you’re with someone else Then we wake up in different beds I WANNA LOVE YOU BUT I’M LOST IN FORBIDDEN PLEASURES I WANNA GIVE YOU LOVE BUT I’M LOST IN FORBIDDEN PLEASURES

IT’S AMERICA (Caesar Gergess/Sly Wysiwyg) They brag a man has walked on the moon Well was it real or made in Hollywood? Hey Armstrong did you do it or not? Did the FBI dictate the lie? Norma Jean died in her bed Was it homicide or did she do it herself? Hey John did you want her dead? Was she just a trophy on your shelf? Second Amendment, grab a gun Shoot a man for hate or fun Choose a death from East to West Will you be poisoned, fried or gassed? With all the lies you’ve asserted lately You’ll realize that you failed so badly Will it ever gonna change? IT’S AMERICA IT’S AMERICA IT’S AMERICA Across the world the U.S. dollar rules Raising wars between sheeps and wolves Shaping it all the American way Globalization is the game Close encounters of the third kind Flying saucers above L.A. ‘I’ve been abducted’ the Americans say Have the aliens gone out of their mind? With all the fears you’ve created lately You’ll realize that you’ve failed so badly Will it ever gonna change? IT’S AMERICA IT’S AMERICA IT’S AMERICA

NOBODY KNOWS (Caesar Gergess/Sly Wysiwyg/Chris Liverpool) Lights fade out on a Sunday dawn And outside one can feel the sun Warming up the world and the human beings Zombie-like I trudge outside the disco My temperature is no longer the same Cooling down I feel it freezing my veins I see myself from above lying down In the gutter face to the ground NOBODY KNOWS THAT I HAVE BEEN WHERE ANGELS FEAR TO TREAD NOBODY KNOWS THAT I HAVE BEEN TO HELL AND BACK AND THIS WORLD NO LONGER FEELS OR LOOKS THE SAME NOBODY KNOWS Am I dead? I really do not know Sidewalk people can’t help stopping by I see myself kissing some handsome prince As he hopelessly tries to breathe life into me In the ambulance I haven’t flatlined yet Oxygen fills my lungs very fast I float solemnly as I drift into void Bereft of all my consciousness NOBODY KNOWS THAT I HAVE BEEN WHERE ANGELS FEAR TO TREAD NOBODY KNOWS THAT I HAVE BEEN TO HELL AND BACK AND THIS WORLD NO LONGER FEELS OR LOOKS THE SAME NOBODY KNOWS Is it over yet? I wonder if it ends The same way to everyone in agony and pain They say the Heavens lie at the Tunnel’s end An iridescent haze unfurls before my eyes Groping in the dark towards the otherside I cut the cord and disconnect Though it’s hard to realize Then suddenly I feel a strong magnetic field Unexpectedly it sucks me back And spits me once again into life NOBODY KNOWS THAT I HAVE BEEN WHERE ANGELS FEAR TO TREAD NOBODY KNOWS THAT I HAVE BEEN TO HELL AND BACK AND THIS WORLD NO LONGER FEELS OR LOOKS THE SAME NOBODY KNOWS NOBODY KNOWS

LADY CHRISTINE (Caesar Gergess/Sly Wysiwyg) Lady Christine thinks she’s on top of the world Skin so pristine highlightened by grey uniforms Criticizes everything and everyone Then realizes that she is the loneliest one Too obsessed to swim against the tide To love a guy who doesn’t give a damn She looks at him with eyes that nearly bite At thirty six still untouched by a man YOU’RE NO MORE SIXTEEN, LADY CHRISTINE CLOSER TO ‘HAS BEEN’, LADY CHRISTINE WHY DON’T YOU LET GO THAT’S THE WAY THINGS ARE BAN THIS BITTERNESS IN YOUR HEART Lady Christine cares only about luxury Spends her money to tame her anxiety Expensive skincares and sexy lingerie To disguise her mediocrity This unrest is making her insomniac Vervain infusions no longer soothe her brain Now she needs three pills a day of Prozac Yet she refuses a glass of good Champagne YOU’RE NO MORE SIXTEEN, LADY CHRISTINE CLOSER TO ‘HAS BEEN’, LADY CHRISTINE WHY DON’T YOU LET GO THAT’S THE WAY THINGS ARE BAN THIS BITTERNESS IN YOUR HEART Lady Christine what’re you gonna do When it’s over for you? Why don’t you ponder on it When tears roll down at night There’s something wrong about it But still you fantasize Open your eyes and face it He’s just being polite You know well he’ll never be yours Why don’t you understand it Finally see the light You’d rather have him say it Straight in the pools of your eyes Your cash will never buy it His love is not for sale You know well he’ll never be yours

about

Caesar Gergess formerly known as Caesar Guess was the frontman of Slyguess, a band that delivered its first alternative discotronic rock pulsations in spring 2005 when three members of different Parisian bands have decided to come together for a side-project.

Caesar Gergess aka Caesar Guess (Vocals, Theremin), Chris Liverpool (Guitar, Bass) and Sly Wysiwyg (Machines, Synths) aim for a mix of guitar sounds influenced by Pink Floyd's nocturnal melodies, Green Day's craziness and The Who with electronic vibes inspired by the slick sounds of the Pet Shop Boys, the hypnotic drones of OMD, Goldfrapp's dirty disco style and Gary Numan's murkiness in order to bring out the best of a voice sounding in its low keys like Dave Gahan's voice and in its high keys reminding the vocals of Jimmy Sommerville or Marcella Detroit from Shakespear's Sister with a twist of a male Siouxsie Sioux or even a testosterone-drenched Brian Molko

The band's joint songwriting probes human behaviours and interactions of all kinds : male masturbation, deceit, loneliness, love, sex, drugs, near-death experience, the passing of time, politics and partying.

From the ironic 'gay-friendly' rapping disco of Being Gay to the sci-fi political atmosphere of It's America along with the pop format of an accurately depicted Lady Christine ; all Slyguess's songs reveal themselves as musical fragments of life highlightened by live videos carried out by the band itself.

The shy stammering experimental postulate swiftly metamorphoses into a self-produced debut album named Besides that Slyguess records in their own studio located back then in the window shop of a music instruments' boutique. That transparency creates an interesting interaction with the street, the people passing by and of course the clients which all have given at some point their own opinion, good or bad, during the whole creative process.

More than an urban Red Light District-like window, Slyguess's lab/studio also allows a constant contact with the City's moodswings and changes just as much as it broadcasts daily updates to the band's first faithfull fans.

Little time after Slyguess has entered an on-line competition on the pioneer eclectic music website that 'Garageband' was before Apple bought its name, positive feedback started pouring in from listeners and music trendsetters from all over the world who have placed songs such as Move On, Rock The Club, It's America, Nobody Knows and especially Being Gay on the top of their playlists. Likewise, American gay campus radios raised Being Gay to the status of gay disco hymn, no matter how absurd, bold and daring the song is.

'The entire composition is fantastic. Good luck with it. God Bless America' / DJ Gman from Pittston, Pennsylvania.

'A good song, very bold and imaginative arrangement, really original use of synths sounds, this track really goes somewhere in terms of its own sound' / DJ Doronx Haifa, Israel.

'It’s fresh and have a nice feeling to it. Somewhere between pop and electronic musical transition, you’ll hear the nice vocals of this great track' / DJ Lewelln from Pretoria, Gauteng, South Africa.

There is no doubt that Slyguess's sound on stage is quite similar if not better yet more powerful than their work in studio, which is already something!

The live performances have the stuff it takes to create a happening ; along with tomboy/thieves uniforms, retro-projected videos, lights and merchandising Caesar Gergess aka Caesar Guess, Chris Liverpool and Sly Wysiwyg spread a hypnotic yet highly contagious energy and a groovy stage performance that transfix the eyes, prick up the ears and uplift the spirits.

Slyguess split in 2009 for personal reasons but however the three members remained friends until today.
