Cheap Chinese guitar
You may own a cheap Chinese guitar or an American pre-war one
Wearing sandals, cowboy hat or sparkling rings
You may be twenty and sing the most pure rhythm’n’blues and soul
Or maybe playing avant-garde in your seventies
Maybe you can tell by heart
All the latest trending bands
Or you may only listen to
The good ole kings
Ok here I am with you
I don’t mind what you need if you
Make my soul sing along again
You may travel all around the world once a year or maybe more
Or you may hardly leave the town you’re living in
You may be familiar with the modal scales and use them all
Or maybe you don’t know the name of the note you’re playing
Make a living out of this
Or even be a millionaire
Most of the time you spend your little money
Ok here I am with you
I don’t mind what you need if you
Make my soul sing along again
It’s all right if you only sing barefoot over Persian rugs
If it makes your song ring true
I don’t care what drugs you take or who’s the god that you adore
If it makes your song ring true
I hope my own song rings true
Ok here I am with you
I don’t mind what you need if you
Make my soul sing along again
If you make my soul sing along again

Meteor showers

Meteor Showers
Moon over the hill of the ancient tower
Best days of the year for meteor showers
In the stifling heat of night
Look for a cove in the darkness
Far above
There’s a bunch of stars about to fall
The midnight wind starts combing the ocean
Sounds like sighs of relief thick with emotion
I feel grateful that I’m here
After a year full of sadness
Far above
There’s a bunch of stars about to fall
The Perseids will be pretty hard to see
With the waxing gibbous moon
Best time is right before dawn
There’s no place I’m going to
Moon over the hill
Do the healing
Shine over me
I really need it
Floating in the endless sea
Into the trail of the comet
Far above
There’s a bunch of stars about to fall

Bloody black soul

Bloody black soul
Looks like a quiet man
But don’t make no mistakes
Seems to be in no hurry to start
The band is waiting on the stage
Then he takes his glasses off
After asking for a shot
Holds the microphone with his hand
And counts from one to four
He’s a creature of the night with a bloody black soul
He sings the blues like nobody will
He’s a creature of the night with a bloody black soul
He really knows what hides in a thrill
He put a spell on you
And the place is getting hot
To make you dance like only the damned do
The ceremony must go on
Flicks the curls out of his eyes
And points a finger at you
Squeezes your heart and then distils
A liqueur that will be you cure
He’s a creature of the night with a bloody black soul
He sings the blues like nobody will
Look at him whisper and shout and howl and growl
And now it’s time to go to the bridge
And now he’s singing The Coasters’
Young Blood
With a malicious grin
As he scratches his gut
And he’s been loving you too long
To stop now
And swears begging on his knees
He’s a creature of the night…
He’s gonna make it all roll,
make it all roll, make it all roll.
They call him the Love man
Bloody black soul
Mr. Pitiful
Bloody black soul
Now it's time to go home
Bloody black soul
I said it's time to go home now baby
Bloody black soul
I wanna thank you
Bloody black soul
May you have a nice death...
Bloody black soul
I said hoo!

It ain't an easy thing

It ain’t an easy thing
She wakes up, the room is bare
Puts some make-up on her face
Combs her hair to go outside
It ain’t an easy thing to be done
It ain’t an easy thing to be done
It took a whole life to reunite
What should’ve never been divided
To take down the guitar from the wall
It ain’t an easy thing to be done
It ain’t an easy thing to be done
But once the light of love
Has shone so bright
Darkness will never be the same
Let the quiet rain
Gently wash
Her pain
Away
She can’t conceive he’s gone
And nothing can be done
Kids are climbing the stairs
To wash her pain away
Away

Thank you for being there
You’ve always known things about me
That I didn’t know myself
You have never lost your faith
Thank you so much for being there
Thank you so much for being there
Every time I talk to you
You find a way to make me laugh
That’s the best thing you could do
Thank you so much for being there
Thank you so much for being there
And in my darkest night
You were watching my sleep
So I could hear your voice when I awake
I wish that I was half as brave as you
But you make me do my best
To be like you deserve
You know I’ve never been good with words
But I’ll take this off my chest
Thank you for being always true
Thank you so much for being there
Thank you so much for being there
Thank you for being there

Carry on blues

Carry on blues
Carry on
Carry on and on
I hardly remember when this endless night began
I can just hope that I’ll be strong enough
Trying not to fear what I hear around
Knowing the best that I’ll get
Will be worse than what I’ve lost
Carry on
Carry on and on
Just carry on
Carry on and on babe
I’m just trying to do my best
I keep trying to do my best
Don’t know if I’m paying for my sins
Or for the sins of someone else
There’s only one choice to make
Step aside or go ahead
I’d give everything I’ve got to keep you from this
But now I’m hanging on you
I’m telling you like it is
Carry on
Carry on and on
Just carry on
Carry on and on babe
I’m just trying to do my best

Inner demons

Inner demons
Wake you up
And put you to bed
They walk with you
And watch you at rest
They don’t need to pay the rent
Live comfortably from your strength
Faithful
Won’t make you feel grateful at all
More sincere
Than you wanna hear
Discuss frankly
Your most secret fear
Remind you every now and then
That they know every mistake you made
Kindly
Won’t let you forget
Your inner demons wish you well
‘cos they know they can’t inhabit
No one else
You know they wouldn’t leave you alone
When you’re feeling low
Oh oh oh
They make you feel so low
Your inner demons wish you well
‘cos they can’t inhabit no one else
But if you spend too much time with them
You may need some professional help
And they would never leave you alone
When you’re feeling low
Oh oh oh
They make you feel so low
So low
Deadly low

Winter sun

Winter sun
Winter sun finally came
Warming up our bones
Recent rains cleared the air
Morning dew drops glow
Meet some friends and seize the day
We won’t spend too much
Let the sunshine light your face
Good to see you laugh
That’s what we need, we need,
We need a little touch of luck
Something’s different in her smile
Since she lost her job
We can’t mend this mean old world
But we still need some fun
That’s what we need, we need,
We need a little touch of luck
We need, we need,
We need a little touch of luck
Winter sun almost gone
Soon it‘ll be too cold

Love song

Love song
It’s a four letter word
I can’t get enough of yours
It’s a losing game that’s here to stay
Love is free, free is love
Is a force from above
Love is real and not fade away
Deep as the ocean
King of emotion!
Risk of explosion
Gimme that potion (number 9)
Only love can break your heart
Love will tear us apart
Strong love, warm love, soul love
And in the end the love you take
Is equal to the love you make
Violent love, dirty love, tainted love
Deep as the ocean…
Love and happiness
Everybody needs someone to love
Deep as the ocean…
Old love, true love
Satellite of love
You got to let love rule
Gimme love
I’ve been waiting so long
For the sunshine of your love
Love is all you need
Your love
I’ll make you feel my love

Sad sad day

Sad sad day
God knows I had to quit you
We don’t get what we deserve
You didn’t mind hurting me
You always had a lot of nerve
I got used to being without you
After all the years we shared
I swear it wasn’t easy
Couldn’t find any other way
But now the course of time has realigned my memories
Taking me back so long ago
You are a part of me
And it’s that love that remains
I curse the day that saw you go
Sad sad day
The way that it all happened
Still gives me chills today
All that we take for granted
In a moment fades away
I wish that all was different
I wish we could’ve said goodbye
But fate was playing sad tricks
And gave us an alibi
We are who we are and we can’t be anyone else
Is our damnation and our gift
It comforts me that you were never left alone
I curse the day that saw you go
Sad sad day

Come into my dream

COME INTO MY DREAM
Come into my dream
Let me feel you again
Won’t you do it?
To ease my mind
Won’t you let me fill your cup?
Sure we’ll have enough
Won’t you do it?
Don’t get too late
You wrote it all
And then you moved
To your universe of movies, songs and books
I was reading thru the lines
And I swear I heard your voice.
Come into my dream…
Call me tonight
I’ll go with you
Make me feel safe
Doing the things we used to do
After all the years we shared
My soul is made of you too
Won’t you do it?
I need you to sing along
Help me with this
Don’t let the world get so cold
I need you to sing, I want you to sing,
I wish you could sing along

I don’t want to take you home
I don’t want to take you home again
And I don’t want to smell your curly hair
Not again
Shining like the sun
Humming your last favorite song
’cos when I leave you I’ll go home alone
Again
Oh no!
I won’t take you downtown anymore
No more
And hear all those complaints about your love
No
I know you really care
But this won’t take me anywhere
’cos when I leave you I’ll go home alone
Again
Oh no!
