Pilgarlic 02:36
lyrics
buy track
Pilgarlic On a sunny day in June the leaves where falling off the trees The world was drunk And so was I, one minute I forgot the seconds that Make time The less you know, the faster you decide On your silly conclusions My mind jumped bail on the lost trail to myself I won’t walk your pilgarlic I’m glad you’re listening, but this song’s for me You can have a piece if you marry me or my dog I can’t talk to you, cause I won’t be untrue Still a lot of things to tell, burning like a smoldering stone I’d rather shut up, cause I couldn’t stop That acting part is just for you Refrain viola part I’m glad you’re listening, but this song’s for me You can’t have a piece if you try to be someone else I made up my mind you can have it now If you dig out your heart with a wooden spoon, wooden Spoon, wooden Spoon

Happy my Ass 03:16
lyrics

Happy my ass I like the place where I sit, but I caught myself wanting to change it all and turn my face to other walls And take a ride Oh, I like to see the shining light, shining trough the windows bright, of the City where I live and I caught myself wanting to stay I got two legs to run away and I got a brain, a brain to make me stay I got two legs to run away and I got a brain, a brain to make me stay Well you can walk from pillar to post or stay where you are beloved ohh, ohh ohh ohh ohh Instrumental Hang over walking in a wicked park, I take a wee on a tree, sit on a bench till it’s getting dark and I caught myself wanting to stay

Bursting Blister 03:56

Bursting Blister Your first name got seven letters my surname got seven too We have much in common and what numbers tell is always true… oh ah We just meet by chance and we talk sometimes then I flow trough time When you are around I feel heat on my skin When you are around I feel heat on my skin I’m restless now and I will be till the bursting light divides dawn, light divides dawn Thoughts of you turning around in my head my body’s moving to the beat, moving to the beat In the disco heat…. In the disco heat I cooked for many other girls but I only want to cook for you ohh this is true The leaves are falling, waiting to get crushed by our feet by our feet so I propose you to take a never ending walk, a never ending walk with me I’m restless now and I will be till the bursting light divides dawn, light divides dawn Thoughts of you turning around in my head my body’s moving to the beat, moving to the beat In the disco heat…. In the disco heat

Once or twice 04:02
lyrics
buy track
Once or twice I saw you once, I saw you twice and I even talked to you, call me a superhero, I tried to be funny, but I should have been me, you came out of the lavatory, dragging toilet paper On your high heels I dug out words with a sturdy shovel It’s all about creative thinking but my ideas evaporated As my nose caught the smell of your body As my ear caught the sound of you laughing I’m a proud man, I’m not sitting down to piss, but I would change this silly habit Just for you, if that’s your wish Oh, I nearly died, ‘cause you, you left with some other man and you looked quite drunk and unsatisfied Oh, I was lucky! the bar, the bar was still there At least that was the beginning of this song!!

Commemorate 03:22
lyrics

Commemorate Try to be prepared, as the boy scouts are fanning out Adventures to find It’s quite hard to walk with an open parashute, but you won’t regret Once you stumble down, this perfect tragedy Just make sure your pockets are filled with fortune cookies Enough and to spare You never know what to expect So, I want you to commemorate The can is closed, so concentrate You’re not alone in this trade So, I want you to commemorate I comprehend it’s not easy I comprehend it’s not easy INSTRUMENTAL Please, settle up and place another bet Please, settle down, to get lost again Stray around, like children hunting doves in the park Those who wander are not lost at all Life means living with the aftermath It’s a thrill just take the pill You never know what to expect So, I want you to commemorate The can is close, so concentrate You’re not alone on this trade So, I want you to commemorate I comprehend it’s not easy I comprehend it’s not easy

Dead fish 03:22
lyrics

Dead Fish When I woke up this morning I reached out my hand I wanted to touch your soft hair But I just found One, you probably left for me Or you just lost it I tried to sell it on e-bay But nobody made a Bid, I just wondered if somebody else Could see the value it has for me It’s just a dead trace of protein Produced by your body So soft and clean Ahh, ahh. Ohhh Hey, dreaming is healthy If you just let go It increases your power, you felt it Once before I never said we have to walk on the same trail Through our lives But I would admit you to walk In parallel And we would have some fun If our trails would melt To one Time by time Ahh, ahh. Ohhh An old punk wisdom says, only dead fish Are drifting downstream I wouldn’t call you a dead fish, but you Probably Came too close to some fishermen doing Their work with dynamite And now you’re floating downstream in some Moony delirium 2x Maybe love is on an old thing Invented centuries before we were born But this is no reason To let it all fall apart To let it all fall apart

Murmuring 02:50

Murmuring Some say what they think Some do what they say It seems to be the right approach And not so tough at all There are some, running away And some, who stay for years This seems to be how it is Nobody can complain XX in a curious way XX concerned as a man Xx who’s chased by a (dog) XX and still not knowing why Some they play just their role Some are groaning loudly Murmuring pleasant things Reflecting feverish love There are some, running away And some, who stay for years This seems to be how it is Nobody can complain XX in a curious way XX concerned as a man XX who’s chased by a dog XX concerned as a man XX who’s straining at the leash XX and still not knowing why Notorious embarrassment of a spiteful glimpse

Loom of the Lane 03:10
lyrics

Loom of the Lane Eyelids open to a new day The ceiling remains grey Half wandering in dreams …They could go on and on and on Yesterday’s dishes are dirty in the sink Litterbags on the street Concrete walls …The dusty clouds are floating low I know what I will see, when I close my Eye know what I will see, when I close my eyes Words are flying through the air, yells and shouts Cursing people everywhere Thousand faces chasing through …trembling uncertainty Turned inside Turned inside, but smiling at the outside world Lost the reins And anyhow off the hook Refrain (Like) migratory birds, scattered to the four winds Dyed in the wool In-line, in-plane … we need to pull out all the stops, the stops, the stops Refrain// I know its you

about

ad hoc Winterthur, Switzerland

Striking are the unusual, but melodious vocal lines, sometimes crossing the border to prog rock, and sometimes to Country.

Die Stimmen schaffen zusammen mit Gitarre, Violine oder Mandoline eine dichte und gleichzeitig fragile Atmosphäre. „ad hoc“ singen von Geheimnissen der Liebe, von Leuten, die nie ganz fassbar sind und von der Stärke der Naivität, die auch Enttäuschungen nicht scheut. ... more
