I´M NOBODY
(based on the poem by Emily Dickinson)
I´m nobody
Who are you?
I´m nobody
Are you nobody too?
A pair of us
Don´t you dare tell
They´d banish us
Straight to hell
Don´t you know
I´m nobody
Who are you? (who are you?)
I´m nobody
Are you nobody too? (are you nobody too?)
Being somebody
A man among mice (a man among mice)
Being somebody
You sacrifice (you sacrifice)
Living your life
Under scrutiny (under scrutiny)
No warm blankets
Of privacy
You can have my fifteen minutes of fame
I don´t want it, don´t wanna be a household name
Don´t get me wrong, the fortune would be nice
But in the end I´ve seen the piper pay the price
The piper always pays the price
I´m nobody
Who are you (who are you?)
I´m nobody
Are you nobody too?
So very nice to meet you
GREAT EXPECTATIONS
It all started a long time ago
I was just a little kid
Always tried to get my way
Seems I never did
Now I´m sitting stinking thinking
Wee hours of the night
Born alone, die alone
Stumble towards the light
Searchin´ all night for a love not a fight
Hungry for inspiration
Prayin´ for more pryin´ open the door
High on self medication
Fill the hole inside my soul
With great expectations
Great expectations.
Mother Mary full of grace
Wipe that fuckin´ smile off my face
Father son and holy ghost
Wanna be the fuckin´ holy host with the most
It´s a trick that makes me tick
A fickly little trap
A bouncin´ baby boy is born
Welcomed with a slap.
People say, "Seize the day."
Kinda like graspin´ for air
Gaspin´ for air, a wing and a prayer
My god is everywhere.
Searchin´ all night for a love not a fight
Hungry for inspiration
Prayin´ for more pryin´ open the door
High on self medication
Fill the hole inside my soul
With great expectations
Great expectations.
One two learn to tie my shoe
Three four I´m out the door
Five six off to get my kicks
Seven eight master my domain
It all started a long time ago
I was just a little kid
Always tried to get my way
Seems I never did
STUPID HUMAN TRICKS
Look at me my modesty ablaze
Innner child goes wild outside the cage
Watch me burn and twist and turn a phrase
Brawlin´, fallin´, crawlin´ cross the stage
Let´s not be so obvious
Suspense will kill the curious
Blissfully oblivious
Stupid human tricks
Watch me get my kicks
Throw it see what sticks
Stupid human tricks
Look at me my modesty ablaze
Dare I preach to reach out through the haze
How I love thee let me count the ways
What happens here this is where it stays
Hairless careless life amphibious
Tortured artist poor Prometheus
Look away I´m hideous
Stupid human tricks
Watch me get my fix
Throw it see what sticks
Stupid human tricks
Stupid, stupid, stupid human tricks x 3
TAO I
The way I speak of is not the eternal way.
Names for things I´m giving, not eternal names.
The sky and earth come from a place without name.
The name is the mother of a million billion things
A secret´s not a secret when it´s not kept secret.
Things I never told you, truest of them all.
Without desire the forest can be seen.
Full of desire, only see the trees.
It´s all different, the source is the same
Looks like chaos. The culprit is the name.
A secret´s not a secret when it´s not kept secret.
Things I never told you, truest of them all.
Darkness within darkness, the gate to mystery.
Darkness within darkness, are we too blind to see?
Are we too blind to see?
Are we too blind to see?
Things I never told you...

EXPERIENCE IS THE HARDEST TEACHER
Experience is the hardest teacher
But a fool will learn from no other
Can´t take it from me
Can´t take it from his father or his mother.
Don´t know what he´s got until it´s gone.
Don´t know things are going all right till they´ve gone all wrong.
Can´t understand the blues floating in space
Til the cliché becomes touché and slaps his face.
Experience is the hardest teacher
But a fool will learn from no other
Can´t take it from me
Can´t take it from his sister or his brother.
Oldest story in the book.
Sad but true. That there´s the hook.
Tell the kids: "love yourself, be yourself, follow your bliss."
Gotta earn a million dollars to learn
That money can´t buy happiness.
They say it can´t buy happiness.
Gotta take their word for it on this.
Experience is the hardest teacher
But a fool will learn from no other
Can´t take it from me
Can´t take it from his father or his mother,
His sister or his brother,
His best friend or his lover.
A fool, a fool. I was a fool.
A fool, a fool. I am a fool.
A fool, a fool. I was a fool.
A fool, a fool. I am a fool.
Experience is the hardest teacher
Experience is the hottest teacher
Experience is the hardest teacher
But a fool will learn from no other
Oh no a fool will learn from no other.
NOT FOR PRIMETIME
This song is not for primetime
This song is not worth a dime
This song is my life of crime
This song is not worth your time
-----------------------------
Art for art´s sake fabrication
Put a face on inspiration
Here you have my speculation
My best guess extrapolation
-----------------------------
Open heart to heart
Art just for the sake of art
Everybody take part
Art just for the sake of art
-----------------------------
This boy is not for primetime
This boy is snips and snails and slime
This boy is way past his prime
This boy is taking his time
-----------------------------
Art for art´s sake good vibrations
Existential revelation
The high the low the modulations
Travel space time generations
-----------------------------
Open heart to heart
Art just for the sake of art
Everybody take part
Art just for the sake of art
-----------------------------
The closer to death you are
The easier it becomes
Art for art´s sake hell yeah
-----------------------------
This life is not for primetime
This life is an uphill climb
This life is all guts and grime
This life is just killing time
-----------------------------
Art for art´s sake fascination
Feel the world and love´s temptation
Haters call it masturbation
I am shameless it´s my salvation
-----------------------------
Open heart to heart
Art just for the sake of art
Everybody take part
Art just for the sake of art
Starlight
Star light star bright
First star I see tonight
Wish I would wish I might
Be the one to see the light
Star light star bright
Way up in the sky tonight
Come what may come what might
Tell me it will be all right
When will I see
the light
When will I know
what's right
When will I end
the fight
Star light star bright
First star I see tonight
Wish I would wish I might
Be the one to see the light
NOT WAVING, BUT DROWNING
(based on the poem by Stevie Smith)
Nobody heard him, the dead man,
Still he lay moaning:
I was much further out than you thought (X 3)
And not waving... but drowning.
Poor guy always loved playin´
Now he’s dead
Must have been too cold his heart gave way, ( X 3)
They said.
Oh, no no no, it was too cold always
(Still the dead one lay moaning)
I was much too far out all my life (X 3)
And not waving... but drowning.
But drowning...
RUDY THE RABBIT
I'm sending out sending out and SOS
Here's my song aint it a mess
I throw like a girl where's my dress
All I need now are some pouty breasts
I'm Rudy Rudy the Rabbit X 3
Catch me catch me if you can
I'm sorry sorry this song sucks
The more I play the more things get fucked up
I'm not tryin (not tryin´to) to make the big bucks
Just a little camper tryin to get bucked up
I'm Rudy Rudy the Rabbit X 3
Catch me catch me if you can X 3
