Lofty Castle
A lofty castle of my own
Like Crusoe pulls up the ladder to be alone
Steerforth, he is our guiding star
Inns of molten blue; that’s our repertoire
“Fill full your cups”

I hear the squawk of corkscrew sound
Long before it’s needed for the next maroon round
I’ve laughed at my own jokes all night
How town sharpens an appetite

Trickling trust divine
“Crackling fever” free
“Unaccustomed wine”
What deceiver it could be

“Vast truths that mortals seldom” found

I heard someone fall down the stairs
False reports the tumbler was in fact truly yours
Perhaps there’s foundation after all
I’m on my back on the passage floor

Trickling trust divine
“Crackling fever” free
“Unaccustomed wine”
What deceiver it could be

“But still we held as time flew by”

Who’s that smoking right by the fireplace? It was me!
Who’s that leaning out of the window? It was me!
Contemplate their self in the mirror? That was me too!

Trickling trust divine
“Crackling fever” free
“Unaccustomed wine”
What deceiver it could be

“Drink to me only with your eyes”

Ego Riot

A song a little sad,
That I wrote "like a child's dream"
To see the men of all countries join hands.
So that wars cease so that there will never be children born in cities where the bombings have annihilated their country.

Une chanson un peu triste,
que j'ai écrite "comme un rêve d'enfant "
de voir les hommes de tous pays se donner la main.
pour que cessent les guerres afin qu'il n'y ait plus jamais d'enfants qui naissent dans des villes ou les bombardements ont anéanti leur pays. 

TROUBLE 

(LENA:  Darbuka et Coeurs) https://soundcloud.com/user-262019520
since people suffer
is what you hear ?
I will not stop there
I will raise the white flag
has arm strength
still believe

children of silence
everyday violence
yours questions are without answers
Men don't understand
you look at us with hungry eyes
a future of a day
hard to forget
when you have nothing more.



TROUBLE 

Puisque souffrent les peuples
vous n'entendez pas ?
je n'en resterai pas la 
je vais hisser le drapeau blanc
à bout de bras
à force d'y croire ( bis )


Enfants du silence
violence au quotidien
tes questions sont sans réponse
les hommes ne comprennent rien
tu nous regardes avec des yeux avides
d'un futur, d'un lendemain
difficile de faire le vide
quand on a plus rien.

Trouble

"If, after hearing my songs, just one human being is inspired to say something nasty to a friend, or perhaps to strike a loved one, it will all have been worthwhile." - Tom Lehrer
