Izabo

Israeli broadcaster IBA selected the group Izabo to represent them in the 2012 edition of Europe's Favourite TV Show. The alternative band will perform the Ran Shem-Tov and Shiri Hadar song Time in Baku.

Izabo are best described as a brilliant, action packed combination of Psychadelic Rock, Disco, Punk flavoured with Arabic spices. They secured a spot as one of Israelโ€™s most successful alternative pop bands with the 2003 release of their debut album The Fun Makers.

From there Izabo went on to sign with Sony BMG, and in the same year released โ€œThe Morning Hero EPโ€ in the UK and began to take their funky sounds to an international audience. In January of 2005 The Fun Makers was released in the Benelux countries via the label Rough Trade NL, and in 2006 it was released in France via Roymusic/ Discograph. Since 2006, Izabo have been busy touring Europe constantly and showcasing their catchy disco beats at a variety of festivals including Trans Musicales, The Paleo Festival, and Eurosonic.

Their second album Superlight was released in Israel and France in 2008 with Roymusic/ Discograph to rave reviews. In October 2011 Izabo signed with the English Label 100% Records, who signed artists among Gossip, Moby and Placebo. Izaboโ€™s first three Track EP has been released in the United Kingdom this July, with their brand new album due to be released by the end of the year, in the UK, Europe & Israel.

Lyrics of Time

Time time don't let me down
You're the man in my play ground
What you say i will obey, night and day


Feel free to turn me on
Feel free to change my song
I will count and you will go on
Sing my song I say

Time time could you be mine
I will feed you songs and wine
I 'll make you lazy , I'll make you late
Wait wait wait

Wait wait we two are one
But you always take the lead
I lay down and you just run
Mind your speed i say

Time time don't let me down
Time time don't let me down
You're the man in my play ground
What you say i will obey - night and day

Feel free to turn me on
Feel free to change my song
I will cound and you will go on
Sing my song I say

Time time give me just a sign sign, Give me just the time
Why are you pressuring me? Go to Sleep
You got to give me more time
Time time why wont you just sleep - tell me how much time
why do you have to always be either black or white

Time time could you be mine
I will feed you songs and wine
I'll make you lazy, i'll make you late
Wait wait wait

Wait wait we two are one
But you always take the lead
I lay down and you just run
Mind your speed I say

Time time give me just a sign sign, Give me just the time
Why are you pressuring me? Go to Sleep
You got to give me more time
Time time why wont you just sleep tell me how much time
why do you have to always be either black or white

Time time don't let me down
Temps, temps, ne me laisse pas tomber
Tu es lโ€™homme sur mon terrain de jeu
Jโ€™obรฉirais ร  ce que tu dis, jour et nuit

Nโ€™hรฉsite pas ร  mโ€™exciter
Nโ€™hรฉsite pas ร  changer ma chanson
Je compterais et tu continueras
Chante ma chanson je te dis

Le temps โ€“ en, fais-moi juste un si โ€“ igne, donne-moi le temps
Pourquoi me faire pression โ€“ dors
Il faut me donner plus de temps
Temps โ€“ en, pourquoi tu ne do-ors pas ? Dis-moi combien de temps
Pourquoi รชtre noir et blanc ?

Temps Temps peux-tu รชtre ร  moi
Je te nourrirais de chansons et de vin
Je te rendrais paresseux, je te mettrais en retard
Attends, attends, attends

Attends, attends, nous 2 sommes 1
Mais tu diriges toujours
Je mโ€™allonge et toi tu cours
Contrรดle ta vitesse, je te dis

Le temps โ€“ en, fais-moi juste un si โ€“ igne, donne-moi le temps
Pourquoi me faire pression โ€“ dors
Il faut me donner plus de temps
Temps โ€“ en, pourquoi tu ne do-ors pas ? Dis-moi combien de temps
Pourquoi รชtre noir et blanc ?

Le temps โ€“ en, fais-moi juste un si โ€“ igne, donne-moi le temps
Pourquoi me faire pression โ€“ dors
Il faut me donner plus de temps
Temps โ€“ en, pourquoi tu ne do-ors pas ? Dis-moi combien de temps
Pourquoi รชtre noir et blanc ?
