I Got U
03:00
|
|||
|
It took you so long
To get on the phone
So where have you gone
Or am I just wrong?
I’m so jealous
Won’t bite your head off
Cause it’s me who lost his head
And every evening
I’m disbelieving
You’re still lying in my bed
But I got u
I got u
And your charms
And your glance
And your gorgeous countenance
And your force
And your thoughts
And your light blue eyes, of course
And your touch
And your butt
And your bloody football club
And your hair
And your flair
And the way that you take care of me

Fwd: Spring
04:33
|
|||
|
Live life forwards
Understand it backwards
In whichever way you want
I’m getting older
As winter’s over
It all keeps moving on
And we can’t take back
What is done and past
Right here’s where I belong
And the course I took
Was like an alpine brook
That always leads me home
Our time is running out
So fast and won’t slow down
The sun is coming out
Bursting through the clouds
So sing it loud...
Forward, spring!
Don’t fall back
Clocks been set
Time ahead
Forward march!
Springtime comes
With marching drums

Kaleidoscope love
And I dance with the stars
Hold the moon in my arms
And the sun and the world
You’re long gone, astrogirl
I’ll forever be your galaxy
I’ll forever be...
And you fall from the sky
Set a light to my eye
And explore saturn’s rings
To find more branes and strings

A 000000 Times
04:25
|
|||
|
Six strings, two hands and just one head
A bridge, two knobs and one pick guard
Two pins, a jack and 20 frets
A neck, a nut and two pickups
Five chords, a stage for 30 days
A voice, a show, a studio
12 words, a verse, some spring reverb
Four lines, eight rhymes, a million times
This is all I’ve got
And everything I have
I give you all I got
And everything I have
If there’s a song to sing
I’ll give it everything I got and have
If there’s a fire alarm
I’ll grab my guitar and run
Well, first I will double check that
My girl and my dog are safe

The Beat Of Your Drum
02:53
|
|||
|
Birds sing in the trees
Kids play in the streets
Let’s go to the beach
Where the water is deep
I can feel the heat
Let’s just taste and eat
What’s bitter and sweet
Like your skin and your cheeks
Oh summertime come
To the beat of your drum
In the heat of the sun
There’s no need to run
You still shine so strong
Oh my gosh what went wrong
Saint Peter come on
Where have you gone?
It’s hopeless so I hope less
On a road that’s roadless
Receivers receive us
Some are gone summerlong
When fall comes along
And winter is done
Then spring is long gone
Summer has sprung

Summer Breeze
02:47
|
|||
|
Waiting here patiently
Summer breeze, summer breeze
At the news agency
Oh summer breeze
There is real urgency
Summer breeze, summer breeze
I am your addressee
My summer breeze
Oh I need you so
I won’t let you go
Just stop playing hide and seek
Now I miss you so
So where did you go?
I’m begging you to come back please
My summer
My summer breeze
C-c-come on sun
Sh-sh-sh-shine on
L-l-l-lately it’s too late
C-c-come on sun
Sh-sh-sh-shine on
B-b-b-baby, here I wait

The Royal Blues
02:44
|
|||
|
Summer hits back, it’s one hundred degrees
Time flies by fast, like the birds and the bees
My t-shirt’s so sweaty, you better call it sweater
I featured Tom Petty in a love letter
Here comes my girl, too good to be true
Don’t do me like that, I’m depending on you
You can’t stand constant waiting for something
Springtime has gone and summer is coming
And the sunlight comforts my limbs
I’ve been too tired to tighten strings
And I buy reach while you buy things
Gold accounts and silver linings
You’ve prepped my toothbrush since I ran into you
When I drank too much you did it, too
My head is spinning, don’t bother me!
Girl, you’re like winning the lottery
When it really matters I always lose
Defeated and shattered like my royal blues
I can’t stand constant defeat in big games
Springtime has gone and summer remains

Your photograph’s in my shirt pocket
So you’re closest to my heart
Here’s how to unlock it:
Save me from what I want
Everything I ever wanted
Is on the other side of here
Every place I ever stopped at
Will always reappear
And every place I’ve been
And every state I’m in
And every song I sing this summer
It just makes me feel
Spin like a giant wheel
Made of carbon steel
Discover my world
Dot the i’s and cross the t’s
Till there’s an i in team
Cross the river, sail the sea
Or something in between
Every nowhere is somewhere
Someday somehow
We’ve already gone there
But how soon is now?
Whenever, whoever, wherever, et cetera

Halloween Costume
03:14
|
|||
|
Candles burn and brighten up this evening
You’re like a rushing wind, oh darling please breathe in
History is all that I believe in
As every season changes the seasoning
I have had my fill of beet and pumpkin soup
Highlighted a rimshot of this drumming loop
My life’s not really thrilling that’s what I assume
Since I wear this villain halloween costume
Soon... there will be love
There will be us
They will be loved
It’s morn’ and all the candles burned out long before
You’re all I have been searching and been longing for
Sing along with every song they call folklore
As long as you don’t clap your hands to call for an encore
Somewhere in my mind I met that certain girl
It took a bit of time so let’s get personal
You get the pitch right and I sing out of tune
Just open melodyne or even autotune
The music biz which is so darn deceitful
Will soon be loved
The songs I sing I’ve stolen from The Beatles
Will soon be loved
Jar Jar Binks, the Gungans and the prequels
Will soon be loved
Even Free Jazz and hurt people who hurt people
Will soon be loved

Autumn Falls
03:27
|
|||
|
Dropping a line
Just make it rhyme
Making up lies
I can’t memorize
Getting it wrong
Another damn song
Paying my dues
No money to lose
Just like a fork in a world of spoons
I take a walk on this big balloon
Seasons just pass
To see them flash past
As autumn falls
And leaves fields of gold
I see how time just flies by
As autumn leaves
And rain falls in sheets
I’ll be right by your side
Dropping a brick
Gimme a kick
Bored to death
Couldn’t care less
Getting it done
That other damn song
Paying my way
In cultural decay

Ode To Oh
03:32
|
|||
|
How I used to hike along the shore
Take me back to where I was before
Singing oh...
I’m afraid of the chances I won’t take
On a scale of 1 to 10 it’s 9.8
Singing oh...
There might be light
All through the night
I might get used to it sometime
I might get up
Oh my god
I made up stories to make up my mind
And fall for it when my mind is right
Singing oh...
I am tired of the mails that I receive
My entire love belongs to you, oh my delete
Singing oh...

Forever Ago
03:28
|
|||
|
I might just pick you up
If you could break my heart
Come on and make me see
Your favourite melody
Melt all weapons, build guitars
Danger threatens, just make love
Change the course and change the chords
Wherever you go
Whatever you want
I’ll be there
Whenever or so
Forever ago
Here and everywhere
And so it all begins again
Push me every now and then
Autumn falls as winter calls
I might just pick you up
And take you back to the start

New Year's Resolutions
03:19
|
|||
|
No fireworks
No kids get hurt
No whining cats and dogs
No fire runs
No worried mums
No stupid fisticuffs
No filth and trash
No cars that crash
No air and noise pollution
No house in flames
No money waste
No new year’s resolutions
Let’s have a five-course meal instead
And then collapse into bed
Let’s have a bottle of champagne
Gingerbread and candy cane
Let’s have our friends around
When there are stars and waves to count
Let’s make it history
Just like James and Miss Sophie
Let’s have a good night’s rest
And then coffee and scrambled eggs
Let’s hope this year’s long gone
In memory of things to come

Sweets And Sadness
04:01
|
|||
|
I hope you understand
I do not want to dance
Well this ain’t no excuse
I just do dancing moves
All I have is sweets and sadness
If you don’t care that’s what we’ll share tonight
It’s so damn cold outside
You can stay overnight
Let’s talk the night away
And then let come what may
All you have is sweets and sadness
If you don’t care that’s what we’ll share tonight
You said you hated lies
I said I loved your eyes
Dylan taught us faith
And Cohen love and hate
All they have is sweets and sadness
If you don’t care that’s what we’ll share tonight
Look at how it snows
Take off your winter clothes
I’ll never do you harm
But always keep you warm
All we have is sweets and sadness
If you don’t care that’s what we’ll share tonight

Winter Sleep
01:36
|
|||
|
If death is only a door
We strode through before
Time is only a trick
But I don’t get it
Snowflakes and crystals
In every distance
Fireworks and fireflies
Light up the night
If love is only a game
That has to be played
Play it with me
Until we succeed
I made three courses
Instead of buying you roses
You make me feel
Almost unreal
If life is only a dream
And not what it seems
Do not interrupt
Don’t wake me up
Pass me a mic
To sing lullabies
Sleep in peace
Sleep winter sleep
|

Lousy Lullaby
02:27
|
|||
|
It’s getting more and more hysterical
In this extraordinary world
Need to go to bed
No talking but voice messages
No board games but obsessive apps
Need to go to bed
Everybody’s running out of time
Trying to reach the subway line
Need to go to bed
And everyone seems oh so stressed
Burned out, scared or so depressed
Need to go to bed
There’s weak light
So be quiet
To sleep tight
And we might
Sing a lousy lullaby
A lousy lullaby
For a warm and restful sleep tonight
In this cold and peaceful wintertime

Four Seasons
02:30
|
|||
|
Shimmer and shine
Summer arrives
Glitters in gold
Shiver and shake
Winter awakes
Bitterly cold
Thunder and storm
Wonder where they belong
Sunlight and rain
Again and again
Burgeon and bloom
Spring’s coming soon
Slowly awakes
Falls down and dies
So autumn-like
Green colour fades

GREGOR McEWAN Leer, Germany
"These are obscenely expertly performed songs, an essence. Maybe Gregor McEwan has never before presented his art with this kind of focus. These tunes are a sensation! All this adrenaline, this joy, this melancholy inundating the listener. This is what this kind of music should be about - and nothing else. Every time I listen to it I am exhausted. Thank you for that!" (Linus Volkmann) ... more
