Everything is perfect
Before I step away
If I open my eyes
I'll see that I'm just dreaming

I'm just dreaming

I get up and I get down
Sometimes I stay in sometimes I go out
If I'm here then I'm not with you
Come back to me and I'll come back to you

Distance is nothing it's nothing to me
Distance is nothing but it's all I can see
No need to worry for when the distance is gone
I'll be yours

Aeroplane

Released May 19, 2022.

I think I’m falling for you, I think I’m falling  
I think I’m falling for you, I think I’m falling, think I’m falling for 
you

Eat me, eat me
Eat me like you eat an orange
Eat me, eat me
Eat me like you eat a pear

I will devour you, seeds and all
A sugary taste in my mouth
Stinging my gums, making me whisper
A bitter taste in my mouth

I think I’m falling for you, I think I’m falling 
I think I’m falling for you, I think I’m falling, think I’m falling for 
you

Delicious, firm, fleshy, hearty
Juicy, memorable, nutritious, rich
Ripe, round, smooth, soft
Sour, sticky, sweet, zesty

I Think I'm Falling For You

Released May 19, 2022.

Stinky, sweaty, dirty, flirty 

When you’re working, you’re working it out
I see you dripping, dripping all about
When you’re lifting, lifting all that metal
All of these moves boil me like a kettle

Well it’s hard, hard for me to see
A person with such incred physique
Now I’m ready, ready for some more
Give me all your eyes, and I will surely give you more

Stinky, sweaty, dirty, flirty 

Oh you're so stinky
Oh you're so sweaty
Oh you're so dirty
Oh you're so flirty

Stinky Sweaty Dirty Flirty

Improvisation with Ashiq Jahan Khondker on keys, and myself on voice and drums in April 2022. Bass added in Jan 2023.

From the album Saalestrasse, released 27.02.2023


Nobody loves you like I do
Nobody loves you like I do
They may throw you flowers
They may take you to fancy places
But I cannot compare

Nobody loves you like I do
No oh oh

Nobody loves you like I do

Nothing to give 
Nothing to take
My one only flaw
And I make some cake

But it seems all just in vain
Do you hear these words
Am I just going insane
Nobody loves you like I do
Nobody loves you like I do

Tell me once again
Nobody loves you like I do
Oh oh oh
Nobody loves you like I do
Oh oh oh

I’m so broke that I can’t even afford cheese
I’m so broke I’m over begging on my knees
But you see there’s this glimmer a little tiny star
Baby it’s you and together we can far, so far, far, far

Nobody loves you like I do
Oh oh whooa oh
Nobody loves you like I do

(Instrumental)

All of this will just seem like my words are floating away
Each time I come closer to you I fear I shall not chase you away
But now baby don’t you see
It’s just the sky and the stars and the sun and the moon for me
And for you, I’m all you need

Cause nobody loves you like I do
Oh oh oh 
Yeah nobody loves you like I do

Nobody Loves You Like I Do

Days Of The Week

From the album Saalestrasse, released 27.02.2023


Space, I need space
Space, I need space 
Give me some time, to be by myself
Cause space, I need space

Space, I need space
Space, I need space
Can’t get my thoughts clear, when you’re all around
Cause space, I need space

I need the time 
To process the surprise and shock
It’s hard for me
But for you it seems not

A little less contact
For a little while
Maybe a few days, maybe a week
Maybe some more

I Need Space

From the album Saalestrasse, released 27.02.2023


Invite me to a bar
Don’t invite me to a bar
Invite me to a party
Don’t invite me to a party
Invite me on a holiday
Don’t invite me on a holiday
Invite me to the disco
Don’t invite me to disco

Don’t invite me to a bar
I don’t drink, I don’t smoke, I don’t sit, I don’t stay up late
Don’t invite me to a party
Chit chat bores me, normies annoy me, just want to eat the cake and leave
Don’t invite me on a holiday
Trains and planes give anxiety, I don’t need that variety
Don’t invite me to disco
The playlist hasn’t changed since 1980

Don't Invite Me

Single released February 20th, 2023.
From the album Saalestrasse, released 27.02.2023.

I’ll be your Odyssey
but only if you invite me

I’ll be your lightning bolt
a shock you’ll never know

I’ll be your floating bird
bobbing over waves and surf

I’ll be your railway
straight and arrow take you there

I’ll be your humble bee
drinking honey’s all I need

I’ll be your rubber plant
keep you fixed and never sad

I’ll be the one you call 
when your lock’s busted at home

I’ll be your Odyssey
but only if you invite me  


I’ll be your Odyssey
but only if you invite me

I’ll be your right on time
but only if you say you’re mine

I’ll be your Odyssey
but only if you invite me

I’ll be your everything
but only if you’ll be my everything


Counting the faces 
Counting the glances
Counting the ice cubes
Counting the glasses

Counting the stripes
Counting the shoes laces
Counting the lights
Again, counting the faces

Odyssey

Single released February 15th, 2023.
From the album Saalestrasse, released 27.02.2023.

Can’t be awake
Can’t be asleep

Can’t be awake, can’t be asleep today
Rain down on me and wash my thoughts away

You’re so cute 
I want to squish your face 
I want to squish your face 

You’re fucking so cute 
I want to squish your face 
I want to squish your face

Don’t give me those eyes
Don’t give me those sighs
Don’t give me those licking those lips
Anticlockwise 

Waiting for the sunrise
Waiting for the right time
Waiting for the coffee to cool
Waiting for the brain to slow down

Waiting for the switch again
Waiting for the summer rain
Waiting to taste the sweat
The time is time is time is time

You're So Cute, I Want To Squish Your Face

Taken from the ambient album Star Gazing, which is a series of improvisations from May/June 2014.

My Hands Are Galaxies

Released May 19, 2022.

Push you out of a lemon
Squeeze you out of my time 
Push you out of my life
Squeeze you out of a lime  

Becoming a seed
Hardening my shell
Citrus in time, Make me your lime 
Gona make your lips swell

Lemon squash, lemon squash

Are you a gift, from above
Are you mine, perfect time
If I breathe, will you fall
If I breathe, can I see you at all  

Gloria
Time Traveller
Stuck in time
Stuck in line

Hands will melt, through themselves
Reaching out, figure it out
I will breath, you will fall
I will breath I cant see you at all

ooh ahhh, ooh ooh oh ahhh
ooh ahhh, ooh ooh oh ahhh

Can you see, through my TV
Through to your coloured fantasy
It's just a glance, no romance
Mindless dancing in the city

Too horny to sleep, I keep grinding my teeth
Just come around and we can for hours
Gotta put my love into someone
Before I become a zombie

Breath in my hand
Falling through sand
I'm gona to make it
Cause you're gona take me

My beats are real cause I'm the real deal
And I'm the real deal cause my beats are real
And I don't wanna have to have to get into it
Cause you don't really know what you're dealing

Just get up, to your feet
This is how the people you meet
Sing along, dance along
This is not a selfish song
Hungry now, hungry then
You can't even begin to pretend
What's the point, of a song
If you can't even dance along
 
My head’s on fire feeling desire
My head’s on fire feeling desire
If I’m not burning don’t comfort me
Part a little impression now from what I can see 

There's been disco there's been hip hop
All these thoughts will never stop
You fool around, you miss a beat
Slipping in and out of the street
What's the point, of a song
If you can't even dance along

My head’s on fire feeling desire
My head’s on fire feeling desire
If I’m not burning don’t comfort me
Part a little impression now from what I can see 

My head’s on fire feeling desire
My head’s on fire feeling desire
It’s time oh baby hit me again
Well we don’t need each other oh just pretend

Head's On Fire

People don’t wanna dance
They just want cheap romance
Bring me in from out of town
And I will surely bring you down
