Here we go!
Koi no Spy Ni Kiwotsukero (Be Careful of Love Spies) *Audio Track
[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iciqTRz8rew&feature=player_detailpage[/media]
This is off their 1994 album, "Kool Spice".
*Tidbit:
It is the band's first record to be released through King Records and features a blend of alternative rock and jazz. It's different and experimental, but that's how The Pillows have garnered so many fans in their lifetime. They always stay true to themselves, whatever the vision or sound. This is the reeeal early days for them. Original bassist, Kenji Ueda, left the band after their previous album, White Incarnation, for unknown reasons. Guest bassist, Tatsuya Kashima, would serve to be the supporting replacement leaving the original members as a noted trio band. *It's a rare gem that might be hard to find online, and is saught out by many music-lovers. But your gurl has got the hook-up for ya, of course. :announce Like I'll always say, expand your horizons... It's good to know 'different'.

"Pied Piper" is their 15th (yeah I know!) studio album's title track from 2008. The Pillows are famously loved for their lyrics they write as well, both in translation and original context. So I thought, it's kinda weird I haven't put down any of their lyrics, damn!
So let me fix that by supplying these 2 right here!

Pied Piper Lyrics
A flat, extremely boring road
you, resisting yawning
A carnival beneath the distant sky
A sound like waking up is calling out
Where should we go?
I'm sorry,
but I've decided to take you along
Sing the song you like in that mood
It seems like you've got heart
According to the bible, there are no sinners
except for me
During my youth I was struck by lightning
so I can manipulate fireworks, like this
Poison Rock'n'roll
It's too late, I threw away the antidote
I guess I'm happy
Defile the world with your footprints
along with your friends who feel the same
Where should we go?
I'm sorry,
but I've decided to take you along
What's scary? Sing the song you like
It seems like you've got heart
Koi no Spy Ni Kiwotsukero (Be Careful of Love Spies) Lyrics
I feel like I'm on the lookout
since just a moment ago; it's strange.
From somewhere, somebody is taking aim,
and the target is our hearts.
Why don't we plan to meet at our secret hiding place tonight!
Together with me, let's search for a way out of this town,
because
for the bright night to end in this way would be boring.
The very best shake is here.
The signal; right when I give it,
secretly put on an air of indifference.
And the wine; pretend to drink it,
but don't worry about a little bit of cake.
If I light a cigarette, head to the planned street!
If our feelings suddenly begin to roll along well,
forever
while being in love, let's go all the way to a world that nobody else knows about.
The very best joke is here.
Together with me, let's search for a way out of this town,
because
for the bright night to end in this way would be boring.
The very best shake is here.
There you go lovies!
