"SLOW TRAIN TO NOWHERE" (2003)

ON THE BEACH

I’m waiting on a telephone

To ring a song so blue

A simple song that rings along

M y flesh and bones for you

For all the broken hearted

Make everything all right

But I lost my mind in the sun

I’m working hard, so very hard

Not to hear the news

But to think of her with her lover boy

I wonder what she feels

She could be just perfect

She could be all right

If only she knew how to smile

On the beach, nothing to do

On the beach I’ve got the same old feeling too

And if not about me, then all about you

I’m too old for rock’n roll,

I’m ready for the blues

And the sun goes down

But I’m still around

And it’s so good to be with you

Oh silver moon come shining over the water soon

And I’ll be in the mood for your love

BIG BOY CRY

I can’t stand not knowing where you are

And if you can’t come down, than please get out of town

So I could lay my head in total rest tonight

On a pillow full of life, some memories never die

This girl feeds me, she fill the holes in my head

Have you ever seen a big boy cry

So take a train, my love, for you can’t face it all

A long black train, my love, that never comes around

And that’ll be all there was, an empty hole of love

A history drifting off from a day that wouldn’t laugh

I’M NOT HIDING ANYMORE

I can sit on your floor

Without checking out your door

I start breathing more and more

I’m not hiding anymore

You cannot fool me with your freeway

You cannot fool me with your heyday

I will no longer run in vain, babe

I’m not hiding anymore

This is my game, runs through my veins

Returns again and again and again and again

Now look up to the sky, babe

Is there something more to see then clouds, babe

I’m not saying there’s only rain babe

But I’m not hiding anymore

I’m sick and tired walking sideways

No salvation came with wild days

Oh, there ain’t no such thing anyway

I’m not hiding anymore

And now you say you are in pain, babe

That all your actions are in vain, babe

I guess I shouldn’t talk this way, babe

But I’m not hiding anymore

MR. BIGSHOT

To talk like you is to be like you

Is to feel like you

In a way we could have the same dream too

Any day I’m in mindless wondering

I do my thing

In this dream we would think the same way too

I’ll be judgeless to what you’ve done to me

And I’ll be chainless, I’ll be me

And   in a way I’ll be free

Hey, hey mr. Bigshot dance for me

It rains on you and it rains on me

It rains for long

It’s the same rain falling on everyone

On the ambassador, on any celebrity

But don’t get me wrong,

It’s the same rain falling on everyone

Across the little bridge

Over the small canal

It’s the borderline to this little city of mine

I look at them and they look at me

I could be all right

But it’s the right place at the wrong time

AMSTERDAM

Oh woman, I know what you need

You don’t wanna be free

Love is simple and love is sweet

But it was never gentle to me

So what about this man, willing to die

Would he go lean on a friend

What about this monkey, imprisoned in mind

He takes the train to Amsterdam

Oh Amsterdam, you’ve always been

A complete stranger to me

Whenever we meet you are perfectly sweet

But you suck the heart out of me

The busking grows ugly, competition is strong

The streets ain’t for dreaming no more

So to hell with your statues, to hell with this song

This ain’t what I’m living for

And the hookers they’d all love to spit in my face

The dealers call me a whore

But I have to be chained by your sweet embrace

Until I can’t breathe no more

I’m taking the subway and I’m thinking of home

The children must be sleeping by now

And I run for the bullets hiding in your guns

I fear the wrong side of the law

Well I must admit we had a good time

But I was fucked up and down

And I thought of you worth to be written in rhyme

Carved in the Merry-go-round

But now is the time that I’m leaving you

The pleasure never was mine

I look over my shoulder back in my car

And I see your pretty lights shine

CRAZY

I’m gonna sew you, babe, let the courtroom swell

Ain’t no one in there, babe, who’s gonna wish you well

I’ll walk out in celebration. Yes, you will be surprised

How all the friends we had together will be on my side

Crazy (out of your mind)

I’m gonna sew you, babe, I’ll go all the way

I’m gonna take the children, take them down to Spain

Gonna buy me a caravan, live on a mountain high

I’ll be drinking in the village, every single night

Crazy (out of your mind)

Now I wonder why they threw me in a prison cell

A fucked up man just killed his woman

Oh Lord, help me pray

Lord, I miss my children, every second of the day

And if I’ll die I’ll take them with me

Oh Lord, show me the way

Crazy (out of your mind)

BIG BAD WORLD

Your little baby is sixteen now

And she’s out there on the street

So let your tears flow freely now

Let your poor, poor mother’s heart bleed

Your little baby is sixteen now

Sixteen years they have gone by

Now hum a little lullaby

For all we know is that you’ve tried

She’s your sweet baby, she’s your little girl

And she’s lost forever in this big bad world

Now she might be on a train

And jump off in between

Two showers of heavy rain

And she might see what we have never seen

She will grow older now

Much faster then you and me

She needs a shoulder now

For she will be forever falling free

WIZZARD

I’m on a slow train to nowhere, what it means I don’t know

And if I could lay my hands upon you, I would lay my sword aside

I did rocking and rolling in no time, I made the sun come up and go down, you know

If I could twist my legs around you, we would see the moon before it shined

I’m your wizard, babe

The good thing with dying is that I won’t be born again

And all the things that I desire will be buried by my side

All your fears will turn to laughter, but oh, you lost your biggest fan

I’ll be dancing in the daytime and I’ll be back for you tonight

I’m your wizard, babe

Mercy, oh mercy

FORSAKEN

I’m stuck in this room with you and you and you and you and you

I wanna be a part of, but I don’t know what to do

It’s true; I ain’t no good

I’m a pain in the ass and I walk in your way, I’m in a very bad mood

I don’t deserve no affection, I deserve pain

It’s true; I ain’t no good

Forsaken

There are no words left, now I’ve reached the depths of inner mankind

And now I finally got there I still need much more

But that’s what I had just left behind

DONE IT ALL WRONG

(see “1992”)

EPILOGUE

Stranded in the sun

An empty bottle of wine in my hand

I’m longing for shadow

I wanna be the drummer in the band

The smile in the mirror has faded

Has come to an end

Well any way, a good thing has happened to me

I’m going out with a friend

Oh babe, I miss you

"HOME ON A HORSE" (2000)

GIMME GIMME

Always been living on the same energy

Sometimes I know it’s been too long since changes

Too long since anything different came along

Gimme gimme gimme enough of this

If I laid your anger down, would you pay my space in gold

Would you let go of me, now my golden cage got old

Too long since freedom, or anything different came along

Gimme gimme gimme enough of this

Soon you’ll be the one around my fence of all I say

Soon you’ll get me going down, down in your purple ways

Knock, knock on my beloved prison door

Gimme gimme gimme enough of this

Green grow the leaves, it’s raining. Step by if you want some

If not for the harvest party, be around if the sun comes

Too long since anything different came along

Gimme gimme gimme enough of this

Bull fighting, horse riding, flash lightning, I’ll take it all

Butterflies, cannonballs, aero planes, I’ll fly them all

Silver chains, concrete walls, iron bars I’ll break em all

Booby traps, waterfalls, cemeteries, I’ve walked them all

FREE TO ROAM

The long way up was no long way down

It’s easy to fall with someone like you around

The way you ran really knocked me down

And the hole in my heart will be forever unsung

Free to roam, rock’n roll

Free to roam, but I wanna come home

The dreaming of was better then the best

And to swallow you now would really do the rest

But that’s all behind me now, you just let me down

And there’s one thing I know now I’ve turned around…

I’ve dreamed this dream that everything turned to past

But I won’t look back, I won’t look back

I just wanna come home

WISH I HAD THE TIME

The many burdens I did carry, the many streets that I did roam

And the love, love, love people gave me. It still left me blue

The water was wasted by the gallon and all the coins in the well dried up

So I bought all the things I thought I owed. It still left me blue

I wish I had the time to see all through

I wish I had the time to start a new

I wish I had the time for you

Please, love me always…

I said; ‘Would you like to be tied to a chain and cry all day like a dog’ .

She said; ‘It doesn’t bother me, you know, I don’t care.’

I got so mad, I stomped into the woods on that Sunday afternoon.

I resolved to sit there without food in order to go back and pack my things to leave. 

In a few hours a voice was calling from the house for supper, but I wouldn’t come.

Till finally, there she came out to my tree and begged me to come back.

Well I was free in solitude, till I was free to settle down

Now I’m free in matrimony. It still left me blue

WELCOME TO THE GOLDMINE

Wandering for ages, he said I’ve always tried to sing my song

I said; ‘Hey man, welcome to the goldmine. Watch the wheel goes round.

He knows so well the feeling of a spirit that is fading

I said; ‘Hey man, welcome to the goldmine. Watch the wheel go round.

If you’d see a real troubled man, take him to the source again

Lead him to the goldmine, turn him upside down

The freaky city overkill, they all come running down the hill

I said; ‘ Wow man, welcome to the goldmine. Watch the wheel go round.

And if you’re looking for an answer, take a look at all your friends here

There ain’t no one, no one here to countdown and stop the wheel go round

On a wasteland in a wasted dream, I weigh myself over and over again

Till you wait and see, wait and see, I’ll shut my mouth till the morning comes

And I can see your eyes full of stories, full of dreams, wasted dreams

I take the car with my children in the back, drive out of town

Upon a hill so that we can see the city, the city at night

Oh yes, they’re tired, but their eyes sparkle with wonder

And they asked me questions about the grown up people, dancing, drinking.

Well, I guess they pretend they are doing fine

CAPTURED

So you need no one and no one will ever need you

Than what’s the use for me now to keep your name in mind

And if you keep being hurt by love and affection

And all approach will be rejected

Than life most likely will never be kind

You seem free from a distance, free from a distance

But in the heart of the matter, captured by love

You choose to have no one, no nothing, no friend

Like Old Shatterhand riding a horse into the blind

Untill your roots rot from under the soil that you walk on

The rain here will drown you and tomorrow will be forever behind

BACK IN YOUR ARMS TO STAY

I got home on a morning late September

Many tears rolling down my face

It’s been my home as long as I remember

And I’d lie if I said it ain’t my place

I got home on a morning late September

And it seems as if it’s been just for days

For all the better moments I remember

Darling please, don’t send me away

It was my horse that didn’t want to run this way

It were my mates that I could not persuade

To let me go, let me go

Back in your arms to stay

Tell me babe, has life for you been changing

Is there still an empty place in your heart

That I could fill up to be your guardian angel

Or has someone else been tearing us apart

I can’t say that I’ve been the perfect man

I can’t tell you how sorry I am

But can you forgive me

Tell me that you can

WINTER’S ON ITS WAY

Dark glasses on, my ass on the lawn

I’m counting sparrows, it’s a black sky now

One year’s gone and one’s to come

And it ain’t gonna be my favorite one

Winter’s on its way

Wherever you’ve been, I followed you down

I must have seen the world by now

Well gone is my horse, something’s so wrong

I’m stuck in the North and I’m stuck in this song

Winter’s on its way

Let the sunlight come by millions now

A million sparkles on my tired eyes

Let the gentle waves pull me down

Pull me down to where the sun will rise to stay.

I’m bored right now and I’m singing a song

It ain’t too much, but it has to be sung

Let’s all gather in a southbound train

Helter shelter for an autumn rain

Winter’s on its way

STANDING ON A WHALE

The one forbidden thing

Is judging upon whatever you see

So kiss the snake on the nose

Three times and your apple’s for free

Standing on a whale, fishing for wittings

Don’t you feel a fool, well you are a fool

Here is a light;

‘Know who you are and you are’

So God is your spirit and your spirit is God

Lay off your symbols and lay off your sword

Make no more promises for the sake of your Lord

Take no more possessions that you cannot afford

Blues might be the key to you

To the door that keeps hidden the blue

So give me some of your precious time

And I’ll try to sing this little heaven of mine

So cry out, cry out who you are

Know who you are and you are

THE WELL

(See ' Expectations')

 FALLING FREE

(See ' Expectations')

TAKE IT

This is not a revolution, this is not a home sweet home

This is not the resurrection, this is just a rock song

So take it…..

No longer wanting, just move your ass around

No longer waiting, just turn it upside down

And take it….

This here is your president, he’s talking there for you

Let him hear your hands clap, let him hear your voices to

He says; ‘Don’t you hang around here and you’ll find a lot of money

in the system that I’m running. You will find some culture to

Everyone is happy here, we did it all for you

So if you wanna join us, come on there’s work to do

It’s gonna break you heart in two. So take it

Everyone’s a criminal, but that’s all right with me

I’ve always been in favorite of everything for free

So take it….

"EXPECTATIONS" (1997)

COMES A TIME, COMES A LIGHT

(see “1992”’)

THE WELL

Beautiful and blue eyed, running round in rags

Running for them bloodhounds, burning down your flag

In the wild open field no one’s digging you a hole

Come lay your head at rest now in the bunkers of my soul

Lead me down to the well of your red river

Let me suck it dry and let the Lord be forgiven

My words they all seem worthless, my tunes more weak then strong

For how much of my freedom can you buy with this song

Come let your spirit speak now, a new dawn has begun

Come father blow away now all this hatred from your son

Newborn little girl can I look you in the eyes

For all I know is nothing and all I say disguise

Come let me rock your cradle, you’re better off with lies

For the truth is far too painful and too many people died

DEAD END ROAD

I feel this journey’s ending.

All the company has gone

All the seats are empty

I’ve been on this road too long

Can’t you see I’m hiding

While the moon reflects my tears

For too long I’ve been riding

And the feeling disappears

Lead me on, help me off the freeway

It’s a dead end road………

Now the car starts bending

As I slowly turn the wheel

I watch the night surrender

But how will I know that you’ll be here

When the night will reappear

And my mind will be unclear

Could you take the trouble

Could you free my eyes from fear

MR. NEEL’S DANCE

I drove into the nightlife with just one single thing on my mind

The moon seemed full forever and the lights of the city made me blind

So I could only feel the hunger for a woman who would treat me just kind

Dry my tears, wash my scars away tonight

Oh, Cindy please, don’t call me no more

The sound of the phone hurts just like danger knocking on my door

Oh, Cindy please, don’t call me no more

You’re not the reason, you’re not the one I’m living for

So I was drifting even further away from home in my car

And in this late night movie I could barely make it to the bar

So I stared into a beer can, tried to meditate my soul into a star

Ain’t that far, ain’t that far out, my friend

The night it drew a picture that I just had to see

And I stared into a cradle, I saw a monster looking just like me

Oh, the weight of this fiction, how forever ready I’m to sleep

And this real life figure Cindy, how forever she will weep

With the stars, with the wind

FALLING FREE

Darkness surrounds us and brittle brains we are

Nothing can stop us from falling from a star

And yonder only skies, blank spots in our minds

Spirits are crying an endless aching “why”

Oblivion’s appealing for nothing seems worth to try

But yes, I’m doing fine. All this lies behind

And I’m falling free

Sometimes I feel like I’ll leave it all behind

Dust on my lungs and black smoke around my mind

And yonder only skies, blank spots in our minds

Little by little I stumble to your door

Leaving the dust of my failures on your floor

But yes, I’m doing fine. All this lies behind

And I’m falling free

A million years late and a load on my shade

No fuel to create and I crash into fate

With one way to escape

It’s one step through the gates of my last dream

I drink myself to sleep, mama

HEAR THE WIND COMES ROLLING HOME

Listen, the wind comes rolling home

With stories long unknown

For a long time it has blown

Now lays down in a song

Sounds from long before the word

That came to us and cursed

All of us who heard

The beauty of the song

Hear the wind is rolling home

Watch, the sun is on its way

Forever here to stay

And we don’t have to say a word

Just sing a song

The time won’t slip away no more

A breeze to blow our ships ashore

No sign of night, no sign of war

Just the sense of sailing home

Drink the dew fresh from the lawn

We’ve been waiting far too long

Drink the dew before it’s gone

We’ve been waiting far too long

GREEN FIELDS

Sometimes you feel that it is time to get that cloud out of your mind

So search the skyline through the windshield for a saviour of any kind

And than three motorcycle boys, passing on the bridge

Outlined black on the deep red sun going down beyond

The green fields of my country

With hungry headlights and a radio station on my way

Waiting on some magic or sensation of a sweet light rain, and than…

You know a story of a boy with his new little toy

On wheels, on the ground, oh Lord give me some gasoline

That I may ride this country a million times around,

Starting right now

So this is true in stories that you read when you are young

And now it happens just before my eyes and in this song…

Three motorcycle boys……

VISIONS FROM HELL

Save this boat from sinking though the game seems done

Save our souls from shrinking though all hope seems gone

The chaos is strong and the nights are long

And there’s no one in this wilderness that could do us no wrong

If people talk salvation, than wish them they’re right

Cause even if salvation’s just a shimmering light

The dream is justified and it makes it better to fight

Then to sit on our asses and choke in the night

Bring wisdom, bring wisdom for the chosen few

That must lead the many on their way through

You can call this sickness ignorance, you can call it what you want

You can call your life a misery, well  if that’s what you want

You’ll get it for free, but ain’t it easy to see

That life is running backwards if you don’t do what you feel

Those who’re preaching liberty mean nothing to me

Cause preaching brings no guarantee if the preacher’s not free

So just be good to yourself and to anyone else

And forgot what I told here, speak for yourself

It’s hard to say anything if you see what I see

It’s hard to say anything and if it was up to me

We’d ignore what is said and we’d clean our heads

From the books that we read to live it instead

Sleep well, sleep well

May you’re dreams be free from those visions from hell

FEAR

Brittle eyes in this cruel, cruel world of action

Brittle eyes of unbelief

Brittle eyes in this fatal world of fiction

She wants to walk on water but goes underneath

A river is no river if that river’s gone dry

You’re just challenging your liver

And you know you’re gonna die

A river is no river if that river’s gone dry

Brittle eyes in this steel and concrete jungle

The engine of her life’s now put into another gear

Hidden visions she points out with her fingers

She’s just too young to smell the danger here

See the tissue on the table

See her spitting on the floor

All her senses now gone stone dead

The last twitching on the floor

Is there life in this bloodshed

Is there life in this whore

Fear     

SECTION 29

(See “1992”)

BABY BLUE

I’m lying on a sofa at a party of a friend

A lady on each side of me, a  reefer in my hand

The lady on my right says ‘I’m at your command’

“You can do what you want with me” I said; ‘Please understand

That I’m not at all after you, I’m looking for my Baby Blue”

Now crazy Celia, she’s sitting left of me

Says ‘I’ve got a big car, will you drive with me’

I said; ‘No, no, no, drive with anyone but me,

You must be thinking you’re on your way to be free

Well, who do you think you are talking to

I’m looking for my Baby Blue’

Now speedy Franklin comes and he is promising the sky

But I can’t seem to find the pupils in his eyes

He keeps mumbling I could be next to see his paradise

Well I don’t need your medical advice

I don’t need nothing from this store of you

I’m looking for my Baby Blue

Now college boy Harry says he’s got this strange idea

Baby Blue was in the kitchen, waiting with my beer

She gave it to another guy with whom she disappeared

So I kicked Harry to the floor left him trembling with fear

And stood up from the sofa saying ‘Good night to you

I’m leaving for my Baby Blue’

So I walked into the garden and the moon was shining bright

I found my Baby Blue in the shadow of the light

I caught her with a rock star, I invited him to fight

The rock star and my Baby Blue, they both died in the night

And next came a cop, he said; ‘I’m looking for you’

‘Well, I was just looking for my Baby Blue’

Twenty five days later I stood up in court

For a judge who must have won an academy award

He says; ‘this case looks clear to me, I can’t keep it short

Tomorrow you can choose between hanging and the sword’

I said; ‘No, no, no, is there no mercy left in you

I’ve done it all for my Baby Blue

Next morning I awoke between the blankets oh so clean

Baby Blue was next to me, oh my candy, oh my cream

‘No never will I kill you’, I awoke her with a scream

and half asleep she asked me; ‘did you have a bad dream’

so listen to a wise guy warning you;

‘Always keep a close watch on your Baby Blue’

 THE MAN

Time’s just a friend of mine

Time’s not the problem, man

Time’s just something going by

Ever since the day I came

I count the days and I count the ways

To get by, to get high

Well man, that’s many ways

I’m on my way to become a man

An endless road behind me and one ahead

I’m on my way to become a man

And time is just a friend

Time’s just a friend of mine

I won’t run away, I’m doing fine

And freedom’s just a word that you can write

Endless are the days of life

And I’ll do my thing, so I survive

I won’t sit and wait  ‘till everything’s allright

I’m on my way to become a man

An endless road behind me and one ahead

I’m on my way to become a man

And time is just a friend

Hear me lie in setting up a song

Hear me lie as the prodigal son

Hear me lie that a man shouldn’t cry

Hear me cry in another sad song

Hear me cry in the morning sun

Hear me cry that a man shouldn’t die

Time’s just a friend of mine

Time’s not the problem, man

Time’s just something going by

WHAT HAVE YOU GOT IN RETURN

What have you got, what have you got in return

Here behind my window, where it’s save and narrow

I’ll cry these tears for you

Here in my kingdom,  with candlelights on

I’ll do these songs for you, but what have you got in return

Don’t switch the lights on, when you’re in the white room

And I’ll do these songs for you

And I’ll drink on your health and I’ll kill my own self

I can do this all for you, but what have you got in return

Here on this graveyard, watch with upper regard

And tell me “ what are you ?”

Have you finally found out, now you can scream your life out

And I’ll cease for you, but what have you got in return

You can clap your hands now, we could be such friends now

But is that all that we can feel

Could you express yourself now, or will you point your eyes down

Is that all that you can feel, is that what you got in return…

RED IS BEAUTIFUL

Day in day out, we have to face the rituals

Of everything we want and eveything we’ll never gain

You to be me, me to be you and everyone together too

Oh, it hurts, it hurts at dusk, it hurts at night

But it flickers, it’s giving light, shimmering at dawn

Thinking thing, you’re everything, everything but life

Troubled seas, two enemies and in between a knife

Everything is slippery, but give to me, talk to me on ice

Oh, it hurts, it hurts at dusk, it hurts at night

But it flickers, it’s giving light, shimmering at dawn

Carry a gun, point it on me… I won’t run

Carry a gun, shoot it on me…. Red is beautiful

Living in spiritual, giving in when time comes thundering

And everything gets nothing when life stops

Filling in the hidden things, ending life with red drops

Day in day out, we have to face the rituals

Of everything we want and eveything we’ll never gain

You to be me, me to be you and everyone together too

Oh, it hurts, it hurts at dusk, it hurts at night

But it flickers, it’s giving light, shimmering at dawn

Carry a gun, point it on me… I won’t run

Carry a gun, shoot it on me…. Red is beautiful

COMES A TIME, COMES A LIGHT

Tell all the ones whose days are done

Watching you with mighty scorn

You’ve done more then your dad had done

Before the day that you were born

Leave them with a mighty thorn

That’s sharp enough to cry for

Remember school is over now

And even if you don’t know how

Make sure that you will stay unbound

And if not so than otherwise

The job that keeps you occupied

Must be damned good enough to die for

Many memories to fight, many blue spots in the sky

Comes a time, comes a light, I’m gonna be allright

And if I’ll try with all my might to drag myself through the night

Comes a time, comes a light, I’m gonna be allright

And all the girls you fancy well

Try to lure you in their shell

Lighter then the sight of hell

Smaller then a prison cell

Better praise one woman well

If you wanna have someone to hide for

I’m looking at a Christmas tree

And I see myself as you see me

Oh Jesus, set my spirit free

I don’t care for what belongs to me

But all the things that I can keep

I’m willing to pay my price for

Now watch me sitting in between

The devil and the guillotine

I’ve seen more then you’ll ever see

But I still don’t drive a limousine

Guess life is hard for you and me

Gaining none of all the things that we apply for

Enviromental talk is hot

Another president is shot

I hear you masters care a lot

About all the ones the world forgot

I hear you’re worried, well I’m not

There’s many other things that I can cry for

HOW LOW CAN YOU GO

Watch the beggar on the stairs

Give a coin and he won’t care

About you busking in his home

You’ve got a million worlds to roam

While the woman waits at home

And you’ll find yourself alone

In an old East-Berlin bar

To imagine you’re a star

As low as the sky at night

Down and out in the neonlight

Of a station hall near the Berlin wall

How low can you go

Am Reichstag, auf’m Ku’dam

An dem Brandenburger tor

He plays his guts out to some tourists

To get some money for a whore

Well how low can you go

For a minute in a show

That is dangerous and unreal

Tell me how does it feel    As low………..

And you’re singing furious lyrics

On the rhythm of a train

That is rolling through the city

Gives you shelter for the rain

You allready feel the shivers

You allready feel the pain

Of a chemical obsession

That’s an endless summer rain

Throws you’re heart in the oven

And your power through the drain

How low can you go

If you live your life in vain     As low…..

SECTION 29

You say you are receiving a feeling deep inside

A holy wisdom in a vision, visiting at night

Well as far as I’m concerned this is wisdom of the wine

So I propose we’d call your vision ‘section 29’

In section 29 only spirits are awake

They don’t like alcoholics and they listen to Nick Drake

Well the last thinhg is forgiven, cause me I do the same

But let me have my liquor when I party in the rain

There’s too many things you tell me that I don’t like

There’s too many words for just one night

There’s too many things you tell me that I don’t like

Go back to what I’ve called your ‘ section 29’

Too much of the good things is too bad for the brain

Believe me I’ve seen many people drive themselves in sane

They come to you and say I am Jesus, I control your mind

Well let me call this mental sickness ‘section 29’

A rat is a noble creature, tight on its four feet

The only thing it cares about is garbage it can eat

So if you might run into one, be carefull when you speak

It won’t hear your moral complications and kills you when you’re weak

Now what was that you talked about, philosophy eased your pain ?

You shiver in your shoes for the world you’re in today

Now look at what a fool you’ve been to call your dream a name

If science won’t bring any fortune than why should you explain

Well I guess this shit will happen again and again

Go leave this place, live your life and take it as a man

You sit and talk as if someone put something in your wine

I guess it’s time we’re leaving ‘section 29’

POOR CLARISE

She sit on her terrace in a rocking chair

The light of the moon shines on her golden hair

She’s crying over losses that seem all unfair

And the radio is sending old memories in the air

Clarise just gets older

Clarise counts the days going by

Clarise now recalls what they had told her

And know she knows that all her lovers lied

She knows she gave her best years to chimeras

First class dreamers they were

And every time they lured her in her mazes

With lovesongs, poems and furs….      Poor Clarise

She was seventeen when Terry was her lover

She replaced for him his shots of heroine

And Gerald was a banker from the country

When his wife went out he called her in

And Robert was her lover who had children

But he never gave her children of her own

And no one ever made it just to stay with her

Now she’s frightened to get old all alone

Clarise has been waiting all night

In the way she has waited all her life

For someone who would just come by

To say “ Clarise, you’re beautiful tonight” Poor Clarise….

SOMETHING MISSING IN ME

She says "my life is a mess, nothing less, nothing more"

Let me sigh on her wings for a while

She tries to forget all that's said and all that's done

Let me ask her one more time

Is it a man you desire or just a dream that you lie

Is it something I could be all the time

And she answers all ceasing,

but her looks they are teasing me

Like there's something I can't see

Like it's got to be there's something missing in me

She takes what she sees without ever asking please

 I know it's just something in her way

And she grows in her grieve while she tries to believe

All men are just thieves in her game

But tonight as she can't sleep, she falls down on her knees

Praying 'Lord, send an angel on my way'

 DONE IT ALL WRONG

Many times I wonder, sitting in my chair

About everything I’ve done, though never much too long

And every time I stop to think, there’s music in the air

And it seems to me I’ve done it all wrong

I’ve gotta find me work, though I know it’s hard to find

So I get myself together with a song

Oh, I don’t wanna find me work it is twisting in my mind

And it seems to me I’ve done it all wrong

Say to me, say to me, tell me I’ve done it all right

Say to me, say to me, it’s just another mix up in my mind

The one you consider young is mostly very old

And the one you consider old is mostly young

Mixed up between both of them, my skin allready sold

It seems to me I’ve done it all wrong

Many times I”ve asked myself “tweedly tweedly dum”

Many time I’ve asked myself “ where do I belong”

The sky turns grey and you could say my feelings are getting numb

And it seems to me I’ve done it all wrong
