Bourgeois Bullshit

Don't waste your time
On bourgeois bullshit
Don't waste your time trying to fit in
Don't waste your days
With morals and rules
Don't waste your life like all the other fools

Hey, little girl
Don't buy their crap
About who you can be
About who you can see
Hey, little girl
Marriage is a trap
Hey, little girl
Don't buy their crap

Hey, little boy
Don't buy their song
About who you can be
About who you can see
Hey, little boy
Life is not that long
Hey, little boy
Don't buy their song

Don't waste your time
On bourgeois bullshit
Don't waste your time trying to fit in
Don't waste your days
With morals and rules
Don't waste your life like all the other fools

Hey, little friend
Your heart went astray
They took your soul
They ate it whole
If you escape
We will meet a sunny day
In the gutter of the Milky Way

Don't waste your time
On bourgeois bullshit
Don't waste your time trying to fit in
Don't waste your days
With morals and rules
Don't waste your life like all the other fools

Memories of Nights in Napoli [original piano improvisation. (Waltz-March-Waltz)]

I Sat Down By The River

I sat down by the river
On a - somewhat - sunny day
I watched the golden leaves
As they floated away

I sat down by the river
On that autumn day
I looked at the city behind me
It had nothing more to say

I sat down by the river
With a dream to go away
Leaving life as I knew it
Knowing bloody well that I would stay

Give me a kiss
Give me a smile
A moment of love
In that oldfashion style

I sat down by the river
On that fateful day
And for every choice I ever made
There was a price to pay

When I sat down by the river
A pretty flower spoke to me
I didn't know the language
So the message was a mystery

I sat down by the river
There were birds in the sky
I wonder when life begins
As the years are passing by

Give me a kiss
Give me a smile
A moment of love
In that oldfashion style

I Sat Down By The River [an original song]

Romanza [An original improvisation]

This Is Where I Went

So this is what I became,
this is where I went
Among cars and strangers
I live and pay the rent

So this is who I am,
this is what remains
The scent of city streets
after the summer rains

Come on baby, come on
join the cabaret!
The show is the same
each and every day
They talk of right and wrong,
but really, who can say?
Come on baby, join the cabaret!

So where is the music
and the fairy tales it told?
Where is the beauty?
Or am I just getting too old?

So where is that door?
The door to my past
Please show me the way,
time is moving much too fast

Come on baby, come on
join the cabaret!
The show is the same
each and every day
They talk of right and wrong,
but really, who can say?
Come on baby, join the cabaret!

This Is Where I Went (an original song)

A Hundred Years From Now 
by Caddigan, Brennan and Story (1914)

Every one today is going crazy,
Everyone today is going mad
Each one is trying to do something decidedly new
Just to put the rest in bad
Everyday they change the style of dancing
Everyday they change the style of dress
Oh, Boys what is it coming to?
That's a problem we will have to guess

I wonder what kind of life they'll lead 
A hundred years from now?
I wonder what's going to be the speed
A hundred years from now?
The girlies are setting a pace today
That's turning the locks of gold to grey
We're living a life of constant alteration

I wonder if they'll have a tango dance
A hundred years from now?
I wonder if men will wear short pants
A hundred years from now?
There's no solution
It's all evolution
I wonder, and wonder, and wonder
How much the girls are going to wear
A hundred years from now?

Picture this town that once was just a pasture
Picture the girls who roam'd it years ago
They were the wonderful kind
You know the kind I've in mind
The sort of girl the world calls slow
Think of a girl today out in a meadow
Raking the hay a la decolletée?
No chance not in a thousand years
The girls today are all for cabaret

I wonder what kind of life they'll lead 
A hundred years from now?
I wonder what's going to be the speed
A hundred years from now?
The girlies are setting a pace today
That's turning the locks of gold to grey
We're living a life of constant alteration

I wonder if they'll have a tango dance
A hundred years from now?
I wonder if men will wear short pants
A hundred years from now?
There's no solution
It's all evolution
I wonder, and wonder, and wonder
How much the girls are going to wear
A hundred years from now?

A Hundred Years From Now (Caddigan/Brennan/Story, 1914) [cover/version]

Kisses Recondite

There is a rose
There is day
There is a violin
A worn copy of a silent film

There was a time
The owls were there
It was a funfair night
Filled with kisses recondite

There was a love
Forever unborn
Floating in the only dance
Hidden in time by pure mischance

There was a bird
The migrating kind
His flock left him behind
His song with death aligned

In the final hour
You can hear it still
It can be heard in higher spheres
Where neglected it disappears

Kisses Recondite [An Original Song]

Cirkus Rinaldo - The Clown Before His Entrance [original piano improvisation]

Vola, Giuseppina, ma sii felice! [Original piano improvisaiton]

Love Will Last

There's a melody
From eternity
That echoes among the trees

An ancient tale
That will prevail
Carried by the summer breeze

There's a piece of art
A mysterious start
To our mutual dreams

Born from beauty
Killed by duty
A kaleidoscope of human themes

When Me and You have ceased to exist
Love itself will subsist
Love itself will last 
Long after all the lovers have passed

A place for fools
Where silence rules
And tomorrow's lovers sleep

A clown who cries
When roses die
Sorrow hidden in gaudy pockets deep

When Me and You have ceased to exist
Love itself will subsist
Love itself will last
Long after all the lovers have passed
Love itself will last
Long after all the lovers have passed

Love Will Last [An original song]

The Masquerade - An Original Fairground Barker's Chant

I know you have come
out of boredom
You don't have to be ashamed
The crowd might be promiscuous
But no one will ask your name

The girl over there
lost her true love
because she was playing a game
I don't think he ever forgave her
and now it's all the same

Don't be afraid 
of the children
Enjoy their beauty instead
as they dance their way in the spotlight
They arrived here when they were dead

If you look through the roof
for a moment
You will see a fading rose
It carries the song of forbidden love
that in heaven will be disclosed

There are more rooms inside
to discover
If you are the curious sort
Truths of the world you will witness
and your senses it will distort

I can feel
that your heart was broken
by a love much too pure and true
In the chamber of ancient music
there are many clowns like you

Well your story
has its merits
but it resembles a dream to me
Let me guess: You never had her?
Or let's say just to a degree

You know, this cabaret
is peculiar
You can never return outside
With the tears of hearts disconnected
Its gates were fortified

Over it all 
floats a rainbow
No one knows what it signifies
It emerged from a dark lake in winter
Like the Devil in disguise

Our waiting room
is crowded
by men with a longing like yours
And she is always across the ocean
and her beauty made of metaphors

From here
you have a good view
The show will soon begin
The masquerade will seduce you
into a hardened grin!

But i can't say goodbye to my love
Without crying
