When people think you have got nothing, they don t bother with you. All of a sudden, when they  realize, that you do actually have some money to spend, they change and get friendly. So don t judge anybody by their looks, as you never know what is behind their ripped clothes.

To me

A song about greedy politicians, the rich getting richer, materialism and the stupidness of people to put up with it all, plus a little bit of irony.
Better the devil is a coverversion, it was originally written in the late 80s by an english band named choy choy from Ipswitch / Stowmarket. 
I love that song. The lyrics and the arrangement I changed a bit to fit my needs. And I have the permission to perform and cover the song, personally from Mr. Davey Ruegg, back in 1998. Since then I play better the devil. So please do EN CHOY CHOY.

Better The Devil

When I was down, I could not see,
you were standing, right beside me,
I could not feel, you was next to me,
I was as wasted, as you could be.

I didn t know, why I was gone,
all I know is, that it felt wrong,
and I was glad, you came to me,
to help me out of this misery.

And then the light comes,
into my mind,
about all the good times,
that I tried to find,

In my, peace of mind.

When I was down, I could not see,
you were lying, right beside me,
I did not feel, you was next to me,
I was as wasted, as you could be.

Levon came alone in his abandonend hometown.
Remembering all those days, all those give and take,
all those paths, that he once, walked alone.
Walking down the streets Feeling all those seeds,
the longing close to his heartbeat.
Memories passing by, questions about why,
now he was here again.
Levon didn’t know, who he is, where to go, where to stay, Levon fell, fell, fell, fell apart.
Oh Baby, baby, blue
he was wearing his worn out old shoes.
Looking, because he thinks, he still got a chance,
to start once again.
Levon didn’t know, who he is, where to go, where to stay, Levon fell, fell, fell, fell apart.
he was wearing his worn out old shoes.
Looking, because he thinks, he still got a chance,
to start once again.
Levon didn’t know, who he is, where to go, where to stay, Levon fell, fell, fell, fell apart.
Levon why did you leave, I was filled with grief but these days are over now.
You cut a band, there is no other one. Levon our love is gone.

Levon Came

An old song of mine. I decided to share it with you. From 2001. Love has gone, you are glad that you are by yourself and breaking up was the only right thing to do. Time goes by, and after a long time, you meet again. You think everything stays calm, as it has been years since you haven t spoken.
You really look forward to seeing each other again. Then you meet, and out of the blue, all the bad feelings are still there, you just forgot. All the argue, fights and lies appear like it was yesterday. I do not is a song about a broken relationship. A long time ago.

I Do Not

Die Weisheit sitzt auf den Dächern unserer Stadt,
sie ziehen großes Unheil in Betracht,
eine Legende die besagt,
dass ihr den Tower gut bewacht.

Die Weisheit sitzt auf den Dächern unserer Stadt,
sie bringen das Licht und den Tagesbericht,
eine Antike die besagt,
magisch und göttlich vereht.

Ich wär so gern ein schwarzer Rabe,
Seelenbotschafter unserer Stadt,
von dem sie alle sagen,
du kannst so schön sein, das hätt ich nicht gedacht.

Die Weisheit sitzt auf den Dächern unserer Stadt,
sie führen die Götter an ihren Platz,
ein Mythos der besagt,
mit Rabenvögel  gewinnt man jede Schlacht.

Die Weisheit sitzt auf den Dächern unserer Stadt,
die Wahrheit ist, das hätte keiner so gedacht,
so schön und klug , ich wär so gern wie du,
mein Wegbereiter einer dunklen Nacht.

To introduce myself: I am an amateur musician. 
I love to play electric bass, double bass, acoustic guitar and electric guitar. I like to write, play, record  and produce my own songs. For those reasons I studied audio-engineering at HOFA College.
