I can’t live up to expectations
I’m only human, I go wrong
Who doesn’t jump will never fly
But those who do know they might die

Don’t turn my songs of love against me
Don’t use my weakness to be stronger
You’ve got the power, I’ve got nothing
You’ve got the knowledge, I’m the fool Read the rest of this entry »

(Another old one, only slightly modified.)

I was sitting with my baby
On a bench in the park
We were talking about this
We were talking about that
And then she asked me: “Why don’t we
Do it on the road?”
And then she asked me: “Why don’t we
Do it just now?” Read the rest of this entry »

Here I’m standing,
Wasting all my time.
It’s getting dark, its starts to rain.
My coat gets wet, my shoes are soaked.
In this dark town, in this dark town.

I’m waiting here for hours;
You said you would come
To that shabby bar right over there
And we could talk about …
In this dark town, in this dark town. Read the rest of this entry »

Refrain:
Tonight’s the night, it’s Thursday night, I’m at the bar.
I’m playing and I’m singing loud, here I am a star.
The girls do love me, I got many friends down at Roxy Bar.
So I will be here every Thursday night - I’ll never be far!

Friday night world puts me down,
Saturday I can only frown,
Sunday I’ve got to work on,
Monday I just wanna be gone,
Tuesday is so dull and dreary,
Wednesday is the same, so weary! Read the rest of this entry »

Your face is made to fascinate
Its shape so full of harmony
Smooth skin without a flaw but just
A tiny mole to break the symmetry

The eyebrows’ arches elegant
Over eyes like gems - or rather stars
The nose is straight and not too short
The cheeks fresh, the chin just right Read the rest of this entry »

Affect me
Where affection is needed
Correct me
Where correction is needed
Direct me
Where direction is needed
Perfect me
Where perfection is needed
Protect me
Where protection is needed

Neglect me
When it hurts me the most
Reject me
When I want to give you all
Suspect me
When your feelings dwindle away
Defect me
When you can’t stand me no more
Resurrect me
Resurrect me
Resurrect me
When the bottom has fallen out of my dreams

(Juni 2007)

It’s zero to one-hundred
Without turning round
No look in the mirror
Out of bounds Read the rest of this entry »

Hey, we are talking ’bout
One-hundred missed chances
and one of those was meant for you! Read the rest of this entry »

One day you’ll be taken from this world
Could be tomorrow, could be any day
You know it will happen, what you don’t know is when
Could be tomorrow, could be any day Read the rest of this entry »

It’s my everlasting nightmare
That I got to use this gun.
It’s my dire doom and fate
That I know how to use a gun. Read the rest of this entry »
