Truth is true
There was a miscommunication
just a case of "What do you mean"
But folks were getting angry
needed to let off steam.
Don't think there is no choice
There's always a way out.
Make sadness pretty!
And shyness blue.
Truth can not hurt you,
as long as you know what you do.
The writing's on the wall
Read & heed the call.
"Truth is true",
that's what the judge said
when he turned his blind eye.
Truth is not a lie
but a reason to live,
Though I couldn't say why.
Why
Pull it through
If I can make it
You can make it too
Truth is true -
if we lose that honey
what can we do?

Starfather
Starfather, show me what is real
the seal of love is broken,
and the forest turned to steel.
The oracle's getting better
at predicting how I feel.
Precious freedom,
gone with the wind.
Starfather, is it true what they say?
No return to love and play,
no sacrifice, confession or pray.
Moonmother, shine on me
I know the goodness in your heart
has been embedded
from the start
into the world

Like twin fawns

Like twin fawns
If I went to Malaysia
would you go with me?
Into the jungle,
or the deep blue sea?
I wish, I remember
How it was, like twin fawns
that was us.
Oh no,
I admit it,
I was the masterthief
Who stole your heart
or that's what you
made me believe.
If I end up in China
Will you look me up?
And climb that mountain,
'till we reach the top?
There is a doorway
I got the key -
Right here in my hand:
I give it back
to you,
so you can see,
there is love
on the other side.
Like twin fawns
among the lillies.

Lyrics:
Demon of love
1 september 2017
Always the love that charms,
my baby.
As it is, money can't mean that much.
Take what you can use,
Leave what you won't choose.
Things that matter:
Tender trap,
Beauty of ages
into which we can tap.
Give me ways to charm
Keep this boat a-sailing
Keep your eyes on the road
Don't say this is forever;
Don't think we can't go back...
As long as we can remember
The demon of love,
lives in the desert...
I wanna live there too
This started out as a test to revisit an old freeware VST called Tunefish4 - https://www.tunefish-synth.com/ but the project soon grew into a proper song.

With you every step
03:15

I'll be with you every step of the way
Come what may
Rising like a cloud on a mountain
if it turns
you know you're there
spinning up & down
this town
what passes here
will come around
as long as it takes
I'll be with you every step of the way
Come what may
Nothing 's gonna get us down
when we drive
around this town
All is said & all is done
Check your filter
to look in the sun
in the shade
readymade
I'll talk with you
whatever you say
night & day
Whatever will come out of the blue
to become true
for the hayppy few
Easy come & easy go
win some loose some, get on with the show
One step back from the railway track
baby please
I'll be putting out a warrant on you baby
You'll be back before you know
Kindness has away of laying
the law unto itself
spinning up & down
this town
what passes here
will come around
one step back from the railway track
so long
bye bye

Peace Machine

that my friend
was a rookie mistake
in the end
the boogieman
got to you
I know you know
Bed-ins
are lost on cynics
whatever they wanted
you to believe
Yesterday
where is the window to joy?
where is the peace machine
where is the engine of life?
where is the halo of love?
Lord, Teach me how to dance
find a way
to romance
Your goth attitude
and swamp logic
my stiff upper lip
and reservation
could be matched
semi-detached
Lord oh Lord
where is the peace machine
where is the engine of love?

Chinese Whispers

Chinese whispers
Chinese whispers
Japanese tears;
Misunderstanding
That lasted years.
What did I know
on my island of blue
All that happened,
I wish I knew.
They left me alone -
in the cruel jungle
but in the end
I asked for the order
to give up my gun
I did was I told
Misunderstanding,
as I have been told.
Chinese whispers
Japanese tears;
In the school of nature
I learned to live.
Dark is the day,
Dark is the night.
When will I step
out in the light?
