And I Wait So Long

I have a free minute
Oh I take my guitar
Then I write a song
And my worries are so far
Music is my key
To a day with a free mind
These days I am impervious
To trouble of any kind
I discover harmonies
I use chords I cannot call
But then I am not able
To move forward at all
I find a new melody
Music comes from the heart
But writing the lyrics
It is the hardest part
And then I ask myself
What do I want to say?
I don’t know
I wait for ideas
And I wait so long
And then I ask myself
How can I just explain what I think?
How can I put my thoughts into words?
I don’t want you to listen
My lyrics are too bad
Some are good but much too intimate
The harmony is nice
And the melody as well
But do my words match the songs I create?
Music is no effort
I just write it and refine
But I spend some hours
Fighting for new lines
I’m about to freak out
My brain is totally fried
The document stays blank
And there is no end in sight

Third-Beer-Melancholia

A sunny summer evening
We’re having barbeque
Many of my friends
And people I know well
Some of them are playing
Football without shoes
I’m a still observer
Today I have the blues
Now I should not stop drinking
I must prevent my ship from sinking
It is the third-beer-melancholia
We‘re making plans, but they‘ll never
Prove to be successful
It is the third-beer-melancholia
We talk about old times
But they’ll never come back
How can I look forward?
Am I the only one here
That can’t enjoy the lake?
Are they wearing masks
Or do they really feel awake?
Some of them are caring
We do not have to starve
I’m a still observer
The meat’s already carved
Now I should not stop drinking
I must prevent my ship from sinking
It is the third-beer-melancholia
We‘re making plans, but they‘ll never
Prove to be successful
It is the third-beer-melancholia
We talk about old times
But they’ll never come back
Can I look forward?

These Words Are True

May I introduce you to
My mirror-me and my best friend
Take bathroom pictures with my phone
It’s hard to handle with my nails
I’m caring, you can really trust me
I stroke Thai tigers that are drugged
Shoot photographs of hungry kids
And put them on the Internet
There is a flame and it burns the whole night
But I quit playing now, I don’t need that light
I see all the girls but I only want you
You can rely on me, these words are true
I travel, have an open mind
And different cultures I explore
I check my meals at fast-food-chains
Got Chinese character tattoos
Creativity’s my middle name,
The leaning tower I hold up
On a beach I jump with joy
Conformist or unicum?
There is a flame and it burns the whole night
But I quit playing now, I don’t need that light
I see all the girls but I only want you
You can rely on me, these words are true

I Could Say Farewell
03:24

I was young and so naive
I thought it was love - how could I just believe
It seemed to me that you were feeling the same
But obviously you enjoyed playing a game
I gave you everything that I could give
But there was nothing that I received
You chose the other guy, I saw you hand in hand
I was damn stupid and kept being your friend
I could say farewell, wish you nothing but the best
But then I would lie right into your face
So I’ll be honest which means I wish you nothing but the worst
I hope you'll never find happiness
Beyond any doubt you got everything you wanted: two guys
One for love, one for friendship - you took it for granted
I really believed that it wouldn't be a problem for me
But in fact I am filled with jealousy
I could say farewell, wish you nothing but the best
But then I would lie right into your face
So I’ll be honest which means I wish you nothing but the worst
I hope you'll never find happiness
That's the theory, but then you smile at me
And I lie right into your face
I say farewell, wish you nothing but the best
I hope you will find happiness

One Last Time

The weather is okay
Hiding under blankets - not today
Free from any self-pity
Autumn and winter will come just in time
And as they turn the music on
I cannot stand still
Then my whole body swings
While others need some time
Just a few drinks and you will see
They let themselves go
One has just to make a start
One last time we dance the night away
Before the serious side of life goes on
And one last time the indie-anthems we will sing
Summer we will leave with dignity
Familiar people to talk to
They are serious and they mean it
When they ask “How are you?”
This evening is made by the magic of rareness
Today I feel so careless
And as they turn the volume up
I cannot stand still
Then my whole body swings
While others need some time
Just a few drinks and you will see
They let themselves go
One has just to make a start
One last time...
Inhibitions are supposed to get lost
One last time...
