when your fear subsides
when curiosity brings you back to life
when i hear you sing once again
i will sing there too

i will sing there too
once again me and you
alive
i will dance there with you
to our new
life

alive

Alive

First of all - it's long, I know
The lyrics may not seem very coherent, but they do mean plenty to me :)

an end

An End

i will dance

I Will Dance

this is the room i've always seen,
this is the place i've always known
my whole existence just a dream
for all eternity alone

these are the ropes that keep me safe
suspended over dangerous ground
my balance is a fragile thing
i really don't wish to be found

ropes are digging into skin
the only thing i can still feel
i bleed so that i drink
i bleed so that i heal

i bleed so that i heal

I Bleed So That I Heal

Welcome to the very optimistic masterpiece 'inevitable that we fail'
I'm a little worried about posting the next song already as 'Sensations' hasn't got many listens yet - it's really good - think about checking it out, please ...

this song is, as usual, full of the confused, but utterly prophetic and downright enlightened, musings of an angry hermit who lives with girlfriend and two tiny kids in derby, UK. clearly super important and intelligent stuff you must immerse yourself in, study and worship ...

hope you like it - i had fun putting this together ...


knowing it inside of me the seed of all humanity
the seed of evil and of good, i'm hunted and misunderstood
my rightous right to live and act has always made you circumspect
the walls that everyones erects a tribute to the fact i'm back
and this time, people, i won't leave, no sacrifice, no pain, no grief
no reason for religious war, no mistakes that you made before
the sun will rise just as it must, your blood dries into brittle rust
so full of iron it reacts with oxygen as iron does
and yet you are so soft and small
a miracle that you control
a world we simply gave to you
to share, but not to rule
mutated brains turned into tools
used all creation as their fuel
and soon became delusional
imagined power over all
to exert power on that scale
they had to ensure others fail
in their attempts to be like gods
their brains too small they couldn't grasp
the flaws of concepts just like this
nationalism and fascists
the somewhat crucial aspect is
they've never been a positive
dictatorships of any kind
socialists kiss my behind
you ain't much better than the rest
of these narcisist hypocrites
the need to lead and overpower
the need to follow and to cower
the way believers trust in fate
the clergy daily desecrates
the simple demand simple lives
the hope that jesus might arrive
and sees that i've been super good
the nicest garden in my hood

surely heaven aint for neighbours
who displayed misbehaviours
just like stories in the papers
we suspect they're evil traitors

suspicious, violent and dumb
humankind should long be gone
and yet the bastards're having fun
oh ye gods what have you done

inevitable that we fail

Inevitable That We Fail

I walked right into life when i should have been
asleep for eternity safely tucked away i'll be
damned if i stay in this world it soon occured 
to me this ain't for me
at all, i fall 
to my knees
oh dear lord please
get me quickly out of here
i fear i cannot possibly 
accept this fate
at this rate
i'll be 
fifty
before you
realise the mistake
made
at the gate
it would appear
your holy staff
sent me here
instead of my well deserved bed
oh let me go bed

reincarnation is a nightmare

Reincarnation Is A Nightmare

ich hab dir heute was gemacht, das hab auch gleich mitgebracht
so ein liedchen wunderschoen, das koenn wir gleich gemeinsam singen

das wird bestimmt gleich ganz bekannt, ein liebeslied an unser land
ein jeder jung und alt stimmt ein, volksmusik ganz fein

denn unsere heimat ist genial, nette leute ueberall
im sommer feste tanzen gehn im winter weihnachtmaerkte sehn

die seen, die waelder, die doerfer und die grosse stadt
deutschland was fuer jeden hat
riesenberge und das meer
alle kommen gerne her



willkommen leute aus der welt
ich hoff dass es euch hier gefaellt
nur durch unsre weltkultur
aendert sich unsre natur
von urmensch, kaiser und faschist
zum menschen der ganz offen ist
dem menschlichkeit sehr wichtig ist

der ehrlich ist, und cool und schoen
dem nazis auf'n senkel gehn
der sein land liebt
und ganz klar sieht
dass es nur mit liebe weitergeht

und deshalb leute raeumen wir jetzt auf
wir schmeissen die faschisten raus
solln die doch sehn wo sie hingehn
wer will schon die chaoten nehm

grosse fresse, paranoid
haben nur andre dumme lieb
die so aussehn wie auch sie
drum entwickeln die sich nie

heute raeumen wir in deutschland richtig auf
wir schmeissen die faschisten raus
und dann werden wir mal sehn wo die als fluechtlinge hingehn

spring clean

Spring Clean/Fruehlingswaesche

and when the lord saw
rivers running dry
he sent them rain

and when the lord saw
our fathers die
he didn't blame

and when the lord knew
what we'd become
he took our pain

and now we sing
the lord's song
so we live again

and now the lords word
is holy again
and now the lords word
is true again


and when the lord saw
the prophet's speech
when he saw the lies within

he sent his son
to be sacrificed 
for our sins

what we are

What We Are

Zweite track mit FruityLoops ... turns out that software is pretty cool after all ...

Lyrics:

brauchst keine angst zu haben
dreh dich nicht um
hast du das gewusst
nein
hab keine angst
renn
renn los
nein

renn.

Renn.

I am worried about publishing this song. As a musician and songwriter, I am not shy about honestly expressing my confused and often contradicting views in words and music; writing and performing the results is as much therapy for me as it is torture for you.
However, my views on THE church are as extreme as my experiences with its representatives - Men, I know to be utterly corrupt, devious, deceitful, in short anything but what they claim to be. It is because of them and, what I believe to be their true agenda, that I frequently question the origins of the Lord's words, a terrible state to find myself in...
Are these men misappropriating/abusing the words of the Lord, or have they invented them? And if they have indeed made them up, where does that leave me?

These are angry words, trying to rid myself of the rage that regularly returns - not an old friend, but a destructive force.

Please understand. Do not be offended. Thank you.

lyrics

like the raven the wise one
we're predators too
ravens prey on ducklings
like we prey on you

believed to be noble
we are anything but
and like the raven
the devil
we are creatures of god

we own these lands 
by enslaving its people
never have our hands
built a wall or a steeple

we are a curse 
we're the plague
bred from birth
to deceive and to take

we laugh at your faith
in the stories we told you
we lie to your face
make sure you don't grow



your blind faith is
all we need
all the worlds races
before us on their knees

we are the church
the bishops, the priests
the pope and the preachers
slavers and thieves


and if one day we stand before a gate
before a god who decides our fate
we'll thank him gladly
for the life we had
heaven on earth
it's more than they get
the true believers
who prayed to the lord
victims of deceivers
who made up his words

curse

Curse

we cannot save you

we won't save you from the dark
we won't save you from the weather
we can't save you from a vengeful god
we can't save you ever

we won't save you from these leaders
we put 'em there
and should you ever need us
we won't be there

to protest is illegal
don't you dare complain
to live under the eagle
resistance is in vain

in vain

In Vain

we are drowning 

don't you try to breathe
wait maybe you'll receive
the air i take
wait
maybe you are so lucky to receive
some of the life i break
life here in the waves i make
the noise is what keeps you awake
in silence you will cease to be

forever trapped down here with me

don't move let the water carry you to me
no effort
you're weightless in the sea
the storm a force equal to the life i am about to share
a burden parents couldn't bear
too wild
unpredictable a child
born of the depth
home to only me
and the creatures of the sea

i gift you air
you two share
to get away from me
into the night
out of my sight

seid ihr bereit
werdet weiterziehen
wie die wolken
die im sturme wuetend 
ihre kraft und den krieg verlieren

wollt ihr leben
weiter bestehen
muesst ihr die gleichen wege gehen
verlieren, euch verbiegen
vielleicht auch flehen
oder beten
stark und allein, und schwach und klein
lasst mich mit rein
ladet mich ein

ich biete rache
stehe wache
lass euch freien raum 
zumindest diese sache
wird nun gleich zu ende gehn
ich kann's schon sehn
i cannot breathe up here
komm doch zu mir
i cannot breathe up here
teil deine luft mit mir


if i can't breathe
i cannot leave

A PEACEFUL WORLD JUST EMPTY WORDS
EMPTY WORDS ARE SOMETIMES HEARD
HEARD AND OFTENTIMES THEY WORK
THEY WORK A TREAT ON TRUE BELIEVERS
BELIEVERS VICTIMS OF DECEIVERS
DECEIVERS VICTIMS OF THEIR GREED
GREED IS AN AWFUL SIN INDEED
INDEED IT'S GREED THAT DRIVES YOU MORE
MORE LIES BEHIND UNOPENED DOORS
DOORS CAN ALWAYS BE UNLOCKED
UNLOCKED MY MIND WHEN IT WAS BLOCKED

BLOCKED THE MESSAGE OF THE DEMONS
DEMONS HIDE IN EVERY THOUGHT
THOUGHT I COULD CONTROL THE DEVIL
THE DEVIL KNEW THE WAY I FOUGHT
I FOUGHT UNTIL I COULDN'T FIGHT NO LONGER
NO LONGER DO I YEARN TO LIVE
TO LIVE MEANS PAIN AND FEAR TAKE OVER
TAKE OVER MASTER, I WON'T QUIT


I WON'T QUIT THE FIGHT OH DEVIL
DEVIL TAKES ME BY THE HAND
THE HAND IS LEADING ME ASTRAY
I CROSS INTO THE HOLY LAND
I SEE A PARADISE SO LOVELY
FULL OF SONG AND DANCE AND JOY
BUT FULL OF ALL THE EVIL PEOPLE
NO ONE WAS ABLE TO DESTROY
THE ONES WHO LIVED IN WEALTH AND FREEDOM
WHILST SENDING US TO WAR AND DEATH
ENJOY THEIR AFTERLIFE IN HEAVEN
AFTER THEY TAKE THEIR FINAL BREATH
THEIR CHILDREN MEANWHILE RULE BELOW
A PARADISE FOR PARASITES
I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY ARE GOD-FAVOURED
BUT THAT THEY ARE, CAN'T BE DENIED

god-favoured

GOD - FAVOURED

Seduced by the ultimate narcissist and trickster, our protagonist chants and dances his way into the abyss ...

Gonna have to follow this one up with the lessons learned - once they have actually been learned, of course ...

I SAW YOU HOLDING THE SUN IN YOUR HAND
IN YOUR FIST IT WAS GONE
SUDDENLY NIGHT
A HANDFUL OF LIGHT
SO BRIGHT
AND I FELL TO MY KNEES TO RECEIVE
THE BLESSING OF THE LORD THEY JUST CALL THE BEAST

blessed

BLESSED

I am a proud Covid vaccine survivor. Even lived through the booster ... so far ... 
There are people, proud of the fact that they can't think straight (they do call themselves
'Querdenker') in Germany who are willing to stand side by side with Nazis to demonstrate their commitment to freedom. And yes, similar to events in the States, Nazis insist that freedom of speech is important to them. Yep, Nazis actually think of themselves as freedom fighters!!! 
Bollocks, of course, since they would ALWAYS be the first to remove that right from anyone else, but this song is for the deluded who believe them and their conspiracy theories ...

HAST DU DIE FASCHOS AUFGESAMMELT

GLAUBST DU AN LIEBE, SIEHST NICHT
DASS DIE DICH MANIPULIEREN
GLAUBST DU BIST'N LOEWE, TOLL

DAS WAER OK, DU
NORMALERWEISE MACH ICH MIT
ABER WENN'S UM INFORMIEREN GEHT

HERE'S THE GORGEOUS SMILE, ALL I'LL EVER BE

I AM JUST WHAT YOU WANT TO SEE

LET ME SING AND LET ME DANCE

I'LL BE WHATEVER YOU DESIRE

ENTERTAINER

and where were you
when i needed you here
and who will you comfort
when i disappear
and what will you say to god when he asks after me
who are you and who do you wanna be

hidden in the darkest parts
of a mind 
so confused by the antics of his kind
he's arrived at the conclusion
that he must be a freak of evolution

now he's out there coming after me
you are nowhere to be found
what the lord will make of this tragedy
well, i think i'm about to find out

so many questions expressed in cuts and screams
bloody answers taken by relentless force
a truly honest curiosity
yet not appreciated by me

disappear

Disappear

Whist I would definitely describe myself as a sinner hoping to make amends and to be at peace, it does bother me greatly when men guilty of very serious crimes, including murder and fascist propaganda and ambitions with the view of eradicating anyone in their way or not belonging to their chosen elite, simply get to 'confess' to receive absolution, to often great healing/psychological benefit, whilst the victims of their abuse and actions are either gone or suffer for the rest of their life. which, by the way, includes the soldiers who may have become perps because of their orders.

anyway, here's the liedchen ... hope you enjoy :)

and i couldn't feel better
now i'm ready to die
oh i couldn't scream louder 'r fly higher

i'm on top of the world
well beyond your reach
and your soul-thieving schemes and hell fire

i am angel reborn
redirected my wrath
turned pain into wings
onto the righteous path
with the lord by my side
i am singing his song
i am no longer to hide
now that i know i belong

i am forgiven
all the sins of the past
all the wounds and the pain
and the anguish i caused
never mind all the victims
never mind how they are
if they cannot forgive me
they won't make it far

for the kingdom is mercy
for the merciless man
absolution provided
to the perp, not victim
here we unload the burden
here we receive the key
heaven is as exclusive
as we want it to be

that's me free

That's Me Free

shards

i wish i could go back in time
wonder what i'd find
in the corners of a life turned mess
wonder how i'd feel if i confessed
what is it that you hate about this guy

what is wrong with the way i pray
are my expectations in the way
or does it just take time for god to have his say
what does heaven make of me
am i even to receive a key

i wish i could go back in time
wonder what i'd find
in the corners of a life turned mess
wonder how i'd feel if i confessed
what is it that you love about this guy

how do you even see
in all these shards
you call a memory 
am i really still that real to you
am i just one trauma in a self harm queue

did i not love
did i not pay
did i not suffer
do i not pray
am i not worthy
am i not right
am i not just as lost as you

shards

Shards

finally back from holiday, I could not finish a single song - until today ...
well, sort of


seen you dancing in the hay
seen the fire start below
seen the devil scream and run away
you're too hot to touch too hot to know

no church will open its doors for you
you can't be contained inside
what the folk say though ain't true
for i don't love no devil's bride

you dance in flames your song is fire
appear a demon to wretched men
every men's a cheating liar
not worthy of my marianne

the holy will be sinners
the sinners we will forgive
the lord always delivers
you'll get just what you give

my marianne

My Marianne

civil wars - hell, what fun!!! 



there is a flood in the blood valley today
it sweeps our sins away
there is a flood in the blood valley today
only the holy get to stay

there is a war in the blood valley today
the crosses're burning bright
there is a war in the blood valley today
to set the church alight

there are demons in the blood valley today
trying to find a way out
there are demons in the blood valley today
's no escape for the unholy crowd

there are screams in the blood valley today
we'll hear them for years to come
there's crying in the blood valley today
as we watch our neighbours run

who's still holy in the blood valley tonight
who's pure and a man of god
who're the saints in the blood valley tonight
when only killers survived the flood

blood valley

Blood Valley

been a while - bleeding busy with work and a house move ... hopefully getting there with the new 'music studio' over the next few weeks :)

here's a little optimistic tune which is nowhere near publishable, but then again, not many of my recording are  :)

hope you like it anyway ...

A tired mind if of a god
Can see the truth no longer
A tired beast don't care how strong
The human beast is stronger
A tired mind if of a god
Created men and allowed them to mutate
A tired mind if of a god
Soon realised it is too late

The human mind so motivated
By curiosity and greed
Capacity for good And evil
No consequence for either deed
Food, shelter, love and children
And their survival guaranteed
They set about wholesale destruction
Of all the laws the lord decreed


And now godlike in every sense
The human mind seems tired too
Created an intelligence 
With no master to answer to
No petty needs, no limits to ability
Evolution we cannot foresee
With wonder we sit back and find
Gods create what ends their kind

downfall

Try as you may, you'll find only misery
No matter how calm and kind
You aim to be
A saint for ever lost
Where he does not belong
All motivation quashed
Until all his light is gone

a saint

A Saint

Leave me here
Love the cold
Like a brand new day
Like a story
Yet untold
I just have to stay
Whispered words
Will turn
Into a new world
Embrace the cold
You get to bear
Witness to his birth

Burning stars
Lead kings
Through their broken lands
To a humble
Holy place
To make amends

A saint will cry
Tonight
In his mother's arms
Born of darkness 
And her light
A child of peace
And wars


A saint will scream
Tonight
Praying ever more
For the darkness
And the light
A child of peace and war

Saint 3 A Child

Saint 3 - A Child

Why won't we turn 'round
To reflect
Do you think things are sound
Bin ich verrueckt

Haben wir Gott gesehn
In our skies
Was ist uns denn geblieben
Was haben wir erreicht

Hasserfuellt
Nations build
World destruction toys
Autocrats lead all of us
Into a loveless void
Into a lifeless void
Dictators lead us
Into a lifeless void

hasserfuellt

Hasserfuellt

Blood red souls demand chains made of knives and spikes
Throw the sinner in the pit before their lord arrives
Too horrified to scream, the man hangs his head
His body now a mess of scars and blood and drooping fat
A crown of thorns proudly adorns an ugly prickly scalp
A father who'd once long ago sacrificed his child
For the sins of his
For the sins of humankind
And as the war begins
He's the one they left behind

Tongues and flames and floods of blood
A tired scene today
His children just won't care a lot for such a display
Cold hearted calm and zombie-like
They do what they are told
Accepting of their servitude
To billionaires of old
Who used the state and church and lies
To steal the world from god
Their wars left only them alive
On ships riding the flood
Remaining people were enslaved
And quickly put to work
A perfectly executed plan
A new world birth

tongues and flames and floods of blood

Tongues And Flames And Floods Of Blood 2 (mastered)

All it takes is a spark, an idea
In the dark it will feel
As if demons appear
Born of pain,
Quite insane
They have nothing to lose
Gone to war to restore
Whatever they choose


Human beings capable of peace
A dying breed in a world diseased
With putrid hatred isolated 
Nationalism ultimately ill-fated
The leader believes
What the leader decrees
Can be enforced by a secret police
Assuming that the cop agrees
To make their people enemies
Take it too far, exploiting the masses
You won't feel safe in your mansions and castles

spark

Spark (mastered)

Fall into darkness
All you want
It will never be
Where you belong

There's a devil lives inside of you
A source of comfort too
Watch em get in line
To see you shine

A world as barren and cold
People don't revolt, they do as they're told
This may not seem like it is your fight
But all they need at the end
Is light

Yours is the light

yours is the light

Yours Is The Light

You just follow the line
And when you see them falling ahead
You just go with the queue
And you fall like they do
And tomorrow you'll wake in your bed

You just follow the line
And when you see them fighting ahead
You will kick and you'll scream
Just know it's a dream
And tomorrow you'll wake in your bed

You just follow the line
And when you see them working ahead
You work like we do
It's the point of the queue
Until one day you are dead

follow the line

Follow The Line

Finally found the time to play around again. Got myself the latest Ableton and the Ableton Move and had fun :)

Hope you enjoy ...


Sag mir schatz isses denn n wunder?
Hoellenhitze das geschwitze
Da trag ick doch nix drunter

Politiker sind immer da
Tanzen ringelreih 
Luegen froehlich
Sind dann selig
Ist doch nix dabei

Sag mal schatz ob sommer oder winter
Haben ne grosse fresse
Und trozdem nix dahinter

Billionaer sein 
Heutzutage ohne frage
Eine feine sache
Ueber's ander leute elend lache

Sag mir schatz warum ich platz
Euer leiden macht mich munter
Und da das ganz schnell messy wird
Trag ich auch nix drunter

Freiheitskaempfer Musk and Trump sprechen fuer das Volk
Und wo die beiden haare tragen
I am sadly bald
Holy Putin fights for god
As long as he is white
Der russe, einst ein grosser held
Betruegt die ganze welt


Klimawandel, oh wie fein
Heißt nur, ich kann schwitzen
Also renn wir nackig rum
Ick lass den degen blitzen

Ick lass den samen flitzen
In ganz viel loecher spritzen

Wenn ihr jetzt erschrocken seid, treib ich's noch viel bunter
Das vermehren nicht erschweren
Drum trag ich auch nix drunter

Sag mal, Schatz, isses nicht famos?
Ich kann die stimmen kaufen
Im geld soll'n sie ersaufen
Da kribbelt es gleich wieder schoen im schoss
Der kinder hab ich lang noch nich genug
Verteile fleissig samen, hass und wut

Is that legal?

traegst du gar nix drunter

Traegst Du Gar Nix Drunter

What's wrong with us?
When have dictators ever kept us safe or made the world a safer place?
Why do we embrace self-pity and hatred so easily? How is it possible that we believe that billionaires will look after us when all they do is exploit us?
How come we are happily giving away rights and freedoms we were so proud of?
But hey, seems like I'm not lost for words. That's something, I guess.



Look at the faces, hollow and bright,
Votes in their hands, they're feeding the right,
Blindfolds on, and marching in tune,
Echoes of power from long-silent rooms.

Dow-dow-dow, dow-dow-dow, down we go,
In the shadow of flags that grow,
Turning the clocks, rewinding time,
To an age where fear was prime.

They preach freedom, chains in disguise,
Whispering lies that hypnotize,
The smoke and mirrors, polished and clean,
Selling dreams with a fascist sheen.

Dow-dow-dow, dow-dow-dow, down we go,
In the shadow of flags that grow,
Voices drown in chants of steel,
“Democracy,” but nothing’s real.

Look at us, laughing like fools,
While the powerful sharpen their tools,
The circus blazes, fires in line,
They bought our silence, one vote at a time.

One by one, rights slip away,
Nodding heads in silent dismay,
The laughter fades, the skies grow cold,
As we watch Musk's dream unfold

Now say, say, say, say goodbye,
To the voices raised, to the open sky,
March along, girls “safe and sound,”
As your rights rot in the ground.
Yes, say, say, say, say hello
To the outrage, to the 'told you so'
Sing along, men, sound and safe
As you're digging your own graves

staring into the abyss

Staring Into The Abyss

And the fire died
All warmth soon gone
Gone all the light
And it began

And the darkness screamed
All inhibitions gone
The devil's sieg
Has just begun

Total servitude
To the great demon
They all turned to you
When it all began

The insistent voice
Drowned by the gun
Turned useless noise
When the war began

Now the demon sings
His beloved song
And the rich man joins
His work here done



sieg

was dich zerbricht

And the lord's house
And the lord's streets
And the lord's town
Gone 
And the lord's work
And the lord's word
All gone
Our bombs won
And the lord's plains
And the lord's sands
And the lord's swamps
Gone
And the lord's work
And the lord's word
All gone
Our bombs won
And the lord's life
All that he strived
To perfect
Gone
All the lord's work
All the lord's words
All gone
Bombs won
And the lord's love 
Heaven above
All I believed
Gone
Humanity dead
I have no regret
For all they have done
They belong gone

we won

Outrageously expressive vocalist and dancer, regrettably trapped in the tone-deaf body of a cage fighter - hence eternally death-embracing Goth
Deeply religious, yet extremely critical of a clearly unfinished project - Lord, what were thee thinking?
According to many, blasphemous, as I do not oppose a certain fallen angel. It just seems so obvious to me that this creature ('creation, see what I did there?), is just as necessary as the dear Lord himself - and is still trying to clean up some of the mess left behind. I think...
There are times when I've been known to express political thoughts, but only ever to desperately call for revolution and/or declare violence as acceptable as long as it is directed at fascists (and only as long as the good lord does not himself deal with these dickheads by bestowing upon them erectile disfunction and reserving them special rooms in hell). 
Strictly for freedom, opportunity, love, food, shelter, education, health, empathy and dreams. For a true, science based and supported, social democracy. Absolutely not in favour of any form of dictatorship, be that fascist or socialist. However, and to be clear - I am not somewhere in the middle, nor on a fence ;)

Musically, I like to think that I am influenced by classical music, as well as death and doom metal, gospel, blues, country, 80's pop, east-german 80's punk, gothic rock, Enya and, of course, Abba, however, when I listen to the stuff I churn out when I'm experiencing just the right level of depression, I can't help but be reminded of classics like 'Da Da Da' by Trio or 'I'm too sexy for my shirt' by Right Said Fred.
I'd love to liken my voice to heroes like David Bowie, Nick Cave, Blixa Bargeld, Peter Murphy, Andrew Eldritch, Dave Gahan, Marc Almond, Peter Steele and so many other real singers out there, but have to honestly say that, by carefully resisting the need to actually hit notes befitting the underlying musical arrangements, harmonies and ambience, I've managed to create a perfectly detuned and emotionally confused, yet consistently dislikeable style of my own. I wish I could say it grows on you ...

As all my remaining friends despair of my tyrannical tendencies (proudly displayed by diva-like tantrums) when participating in collaborative attempts to achieve somewhat melodious and/or rhythmic proclamations, I tend to squeeze these out all by my lone self. Should anyone out there feel capable (and inspired) to deal with an eternally intoxicated (by his own ego) and therefore very very angry individual, that (who?) is yet confusingly happy to sensually scream along any old tune (that does not glorify fascism), then please get in touch. 

Also happy if you get in touch if none of the above makes any sense to you, but you do like one or two of my songs - there must be someone out there ...

Thank you kindly for stopping by...
