The glory days of Rock'n'Roll are gone
We're not supposed to have any fun
and if we want to get going
we need to pull the strings
No big house and no cadillac
Will we ever get anything back
We are working statistics
instead of mystics, I know
I won't miss this when I'm moving on
I'm working hard to just getting paid
While all the others are getting laid
while this sounds pathetic
It's my ethics in life
Whenever we talk about our jobs
They're telling us to go sob
we won't ever make it
at least not make money
we won't break the charts
why not take a real job
We are still on our way
don't ever look around
Can't ever take a detour
to what we ever want
Don't ever block the road to our goals anymore
Don't stop us now, don't dare to try
We want to win back the glory of Rock'n'Roll
Ok now you say that ain't right
What I am writing here just seems light
Just prove me wrong
and I'll carry on as you tell me
I wish it all would be just a bit
The way we fancied on our way to hit
But in the end we'll make it
I'm sure we'll break it all
Just don't take away my will to make it at last

When pain troubles me
Comes over my body I'm in agony
For days and days it's gone
The very next moment it comes over me
My pain stays with me
as long as you're gone, you know I believe
In you, my dearest of all
My very last hope, I'm in agony
We grow old, we grow wise
There are things we despise
But we sure are in love
Many times we might fall
Swear to god it was all
We could take, then again
There is no way out
There is no way around
The pain I once knew
Took some time 'til it went away
What will remain is what I know
What I grow to esteem
We grow old, we grow wise
There are things we despise
But we sure are in love
Many times we might fall
Swear to god it was all
We could take, then again
There is no way out
There is no way around

I love your perfect body even though you won't agree
You'll tell that you think I'm mad in fact you maybe right
No matter what you tell me I won't even care
'Cause that's the way I love you and I don't bother what you say
I love the tiny bits and pieces that are odd
I'm mad about your little imperfections
To me that's the way you work for me and always did
Compare it to an old LP of Matt Bianco
There's ups and downs and many bumpers where I could get lost
The crackles in your voice remind me of the good old days

When Tires Collapse

When tires collapse
chaos is near
you'd rather not
stay inside there
When gas is out
don't switch the light
or else you get
paralized
When someone aims
a gun at you
you'd better not
call him an asshole
When trains collide
you are inside
your chances are
close to zero
Almost every minute you can die
Just do what you want but don't ask why
When you got aches
it's possible
your time has come
no matter how old you are
When sex is intense
you are inside
your pump's on strike
say goodbye
Almost every minute you can die
Just do what you want but don't ask why
Almost every minute you can die
Just do what you want but don't ask why

Cool To You
03:38

I don’t dance, I’d rather stand in the corner
I watch the teenage girls
I sip my drink smiling back at you
The band is playing all night through
I stand there dancing with you
Everyone who knows me is assured
This must be love
Hey, I never knew I could be cool
Hey, I’m feeling better and I blame you
Hey, Tonight I fuck all the rules
Hey, it doesn’t matter if I’m a fool
As long as I am cool to you
A little chit-chat in the corner
You even asked me out
We didn't kiss but it had happened in our minds
One night without your smile
One night without the smell of your lips
One night without the way you laugh
One night
Hey, I never knew I could be cool
Hey, I’m feeling better and I blame you
Hey, Tonight I fuck all the rules
Hey, it doesn’t matter if I’m a fool
As long as I am cool to you

Listen To Me

Right now I'm on my
Height now please come around
Help me I'm dangerous
I'm scared of my thoughts
You know me better than you think
Take a drink with me and ease my mind
I know I can rely on you
Will you just listen to me tonight
Although it’s working out
I'm still feeling just not right
These thoughts of death are there
Since I've walked two feet by
You know me better than you think
take a drink with me and ease my mind
I know I can rely on you
Will you just listen to me tonight
I work on my own fears
Still I am almost in tears
These thoughts of death are gone
Since I’ve walked right ahead
You know me better than you think
take a drink with me and ease my mind
I know I can rely on you
Thank you for listening to me tonight
There's something inside of me
it's telling me to move along
I'm trying hard but still not sure
I'm giving in since I want to grow

I Am With You

I won't be far tonight
Where our dreams collide
I am with you in mind
making you smile
Catch all your fears before
they wake you up
dry all your tears tonight
and cheer you up
It seems like longer
so don't upset
I'll give you comfort
you won't regret
'Cause I'm with you
In all I do
The day will come
When we return
To our life
I'm sure it will turn out right
'Cause I'm with you
In all I do

A Year

The sun is shining on my already faded haid
The silver lining on my wall reflects the light
I am almost falling asleep, gently dreaming away
I wake up late my head is humming like a fridge
I brush my teeth I make some breakfast right away
The TV's on we have some fun, like all the other days
You say you have to talk to me about some things
My mind is wondering, my heart starts racing off
Looking somewhat guilty you tell me, you are about to leave
My head starts rushing I ask when
Some weeks ahead and not for long
You will be back for Christman Eve you promise me
I think about it and I realize
it's a year
You say you'd call on monday night, so I am wondering
It's thursday morning and I still haven't heard your voice
I am running in circles seeing you lying in some hole
The other night you called, you've not even apologized
You said we have to talk you've had the time to think
Time has come to break up, you just want to be free
My head starts rushing I ask when
Some weeks ago but now you're sure
You won't be back for Christman Eve as if you've promised me
I think about it and I realize
it's been a year

Moving in with red and blue
They catch you just from falling
Going out with green and white
You'll see what you can get
Kind of home is everywhere
You'll find yourself alive
Settle down and help yourself
in Macon County
Red and blue are wondering
Why you are so concerned
keep away the eee's and stuff
you'll see what green will bring

Shoes

No, I won't walk away now
Stay with you and talk it out
I know I won't be far 'til
I pick up the phone and apologize
I will stop when tears are falling
Fight no more and bring it down
Quietly we will be sitting
'Til I break the silence with a smile
Since I love you, I need to
Feel like I wear the right shoes
When we fight I'll never be
Mad at you for long
Back in your arms again
Dry up your tears with my sleeve
Hold you so tight as if we would
fight again right away

The Heating Is On Again

Back together
Come on take me
Look out the window
Can you see our stars
It's been raining
no umbrella around
Look out the window
can you see our sun
It is warm now
the heating is on again
we're not cold anymore
the heating is on
the heating is on
Under the blanket
we have fun again
we can't look out the window
can you see our stars
It is warm now
the heating is on again
we're not cold anymore
It is warm now
the heating is on again
we're not cold anymore
the heating is on
the heating is on again

I'm not lonely
Never feeling sad
My life's working
Always go to bed in time
Got a good job
Always doing right
Get together
With my friends in time
Sex is great
Never getting dull
I feel
Like there's still
More in
My life
I couldn't claim
I don't know the way
How to grow
And still remain in time
Down to earth
While I'm moving on
I feel
Like there's still
More in
My life
I think I need to calm down
And give it all
A little more
Time
Just don't lose
The focus how
to end up happy

I Wonder Why
02:33
|
|

I grew up real save
Still remember well
What it was like
Back with my friends in the yard
We were playing games
Football most of all
Having laughs I recall
It was all real nice
Just some weeks ago
Just by accident
I was talking to one of the guys on the phone
Cannot tell if he
Recalled who I was
In the end I didn't dare to reveal myself
I wonder why
I wonder why

Travelling (Bonus Track)
03:08

Days passin' by
On our way home
Feelin' alright with you alone here
We're on a ride
Looking what else is there
Apart from life in inner space now
We're travelling in places
We want to know what else is there
It can't be anything we're in now
People alive
more than expected, did we
why don't we take a little closer look
Everything's old
new is what we are calling out
Why don't we make a little closer step

I'm here to write, perform and spread music that has its roots in pop with influences from soul, jazz and folk rock. Ever since I discovered the guitar as a means to express my feelings in 1985, I'm constantly refining and clearing the channel through which I receive, digest and send out music. I recorded "The Endless Stream Of Everything" to share my love and songs with you. ... more
