Juggling 03:02
lyrics

Juggling I don’t know what I’ve got I don’t know what I want A new pair of shoes It helped before I’ll show you what you’ve got I’ll show you what you want It is more than a pair of shoes I only give you clues Cause I’m not sure if it is the right thing Cause I’m not sure if it is the right thing Cause I’m not sure if it is the right thing I was here before And the shelf is full I am stuck again But it won’t be the end I’ll show you you’ve got I’ll show you what you want I will juggle words For you but it will hurt It is a fact and a common cause Ask the judge it he can remove the claws What we once read We can’t forget It word is spoken It can get a thread Run till you dead, then limp till you can run again Fool yourself into normality It feels like yelling, yelling as loud as you can into a landscape full of snow…..

Trunpike He never seemed to be around But he was always there all the time When he raised his eyes He looked in half puzzled way but all quiet and kind He would often leave as if He had no idea of where he was going And no intention of ever coming back One hand in a pocket and a bundle on his back You never knew his state of mind His mask could show smiles all the time You could drink with him all night And when the dawn was back you would feel bright He would often walk in as if He had no idea of where he was coming from He was never early nor was he too late One hand in a pocket and the other at the gate He would often leave as if He had no idea of where he was going And no intention of ever coming back One hand in a pocket and a bundle on his back He would often walk in as if He had no idea of where he was coming from He was never early nor was he too late One hand in a pocket and the other at the gate Meet him at the turnpike maybe for a little hike, Meet him at the turnpike Meet him there Meet him at the turnpike hey, you seem to be alike, Meet him at the turnpike You are alike Meet him at the turnpike maybe for a little hike, Meet him at the turnpike Meet him there Meet him at the turnpike hey, you seem to be alike, Meet him at the turnpike Ohh,ouohh Without you he is lost inside Hey, you are much alike You should go there, without breaking stride Without breaking stride Meet him at the turnpike maybe for a little hike, Meet him at the turnpike Meet him there Meet him at the turnpike hey, you seem to be alike, Meet him at the turnpike You are alike Meet him at the turnpike maybe for a little hike, Meet him at the turnpike Meet him there Meet him at the turnpike hey, you seem to be alike, Meet him at the turnpike Ohh,ohh,ohh Without you he is lost inside Hey, you are much alike You should go there, without breaking stride Without breaking stride

Bike 03:03

Bike Do you remember the first time, riding your Riding your little bike Some days of her lifetime, are burned in Deep in her memories Glittering light between the leaves She’s a silly girl full of dreams You can not, you can not erase them and if you would There will always be a hole The trees are standing in line, in front of her In front of her childhood house Glittering light between the leaves She’s a silly girl full of dreams And it happens to her, if the air smells the same! That this happy day is returning to her mind. And it happens to her, if the air smells the same! That this happy day is returning to her…. Returning to …………….her mind Instrumental Hey, she is falling! Hey, she gets up again! Nobody is holding anymore She’s a silly girl full of dreams

Futile Crush 03:39
lyrics

Futile crush What gets you out of your bed? On a lazy day It’s not your mum, it’s not your dad Who keeps you moving down? The dead end streets of your town It’s not a king, it’s not a clown It’s better to… It’s better to have a futile crush, Then never be crushed at all Even love that’s torn apart, is better than no love at all Without a goal, the days are grey; you better start to look around… Who commands a coin to land On the proper side It’s not magic and it’s not pride What is the power behind the gear? Turning in your head It’s not a carrot and it’s not bread It’s better to… It’s better to have a futile crush, Then never be crushed at all Even love that’s torn apart, is better than no love at all So what keeps you moving on? Is the jingle of your Lonely heart

Wall 02:39
lyrics

Wall We’ve got a lot of options We’ve got a lot to do Time is running fast and it is too late to unravel the past We don’t need to worry what we eat today, But we need to hurry, before we turn grey Is there a higher meaning Related to our being But is there something remaining Or are we just complaining We can bend our fortune If we don’t miss the chance Well, I will paint the Chinese wall I is my inner call When I hear myself it is all clear to me now I will paint the Chinese wall I hear my inner call I better get started now….. But I don’t know how It is my inner call to paint the Chinese wall, it is my inner call to paint the Chinese wall I need a master plan, maybe build up a team And I need ladder that is for sure, a ladder that for sure If you want to choose the colour, you’re welcome to join in But if you can’t decide, you better run and hide Well, I will paint the Chinese wall I hear my inner call I’m sorry you’ll have to find yours alone Well, I will paint the Chinese wall I hear my inner call I’m sorry you’ll have to find yours alone

Drowning I never looked into your eyes Now I did it once, it feels like I had known you before Beauty can only be seen at certain times!

Evolution 04:30

Evolution You have a pure heart Ohh, I knew it from the start You reached out for more My heart got sore It is hard to understand, it is like teaching creationism to an evolutionist You did everything all right You gave me a kite We tried to let it fly And it got too high Happy endings are only happening, in the movies we saw on my couch You have a pure heart I knew it from the start There are many things to learn And even more to forget It is hard to understand, it is like teaching creationism to an evolutionist It is hard to understand, it is like teaching creationism to an evolutionist I’m not trying to ease your pain, because I can’t You will make it through somehow at the end I’m not trying to ease your pain, because I can’t You will make it through somehow at the end

Stories 02:29
lyrics
buy track
Stories He needs to meet people, he needs to be talking About the stories he’s been undergoing And he can’t keep on listening If someone tells a story too He’s afraid in the night time, he’s afraid in the day That he can’t tell the people that are crossing he’s way Please hold on and listen to what he says There’s no hurry today You may know this feeling of having it on the tip Of your tongue and you already see the clip Of what you have to let out next Maybe a story of a funny request If he ever stops talking that much It is because the man dressed in black like a judge He tells him about his father in law And that he knows how to play the musical saw

Dream 03:22

Dream I had this feverish dream, about me and a girl making love underneath a Christmas tree Ohh. This feverish Dream, smells like apple pie, It returns once in a while Like a magic boomerang She interrogates me about: How can she find her way with a compass Working like a watch I tell her I can’t, I’m not an engineer Then I ride away into the sun like lucky Luke Instrumental Ohh, this feverish dream starts to fade away Ohh, this feverish dream starts to fade away Still she interrogates me about: How can she find her way with a compass Working like a watch What if I knew, what if I, what if I knew without irony Extinguish the light, Extinguish the light that once blew out of her mind U u uhhh U u uhhh, uhhh (3x)

Actress Actor 03:18
lyrics

Actress/Actor There are people who talk sense But too much reason demands That’s why they eat many Vitamin pills To get strong and to build up their skills Beyond any reason I did what I did I am sorry my dear, I feel like shit Shit may turn into fertilizer It takes some time and we will be wiser when we met that day / It was ok and we wrote our tales together on a wall Although it seems to be a happy song Don’t get me wrong, don’t get me wrong It is not possible to cry all the time Awkward to hang around and wait for a sign Hey I was an actor / Hey I was an actor in your Hey I was an actor / Hey I was an actor in your tale Beyond any reason you did, what you did You lost the tread and tossed it in a pit I’d rather hit the string than taking crack And tomorrow I will be back on track Hey you were an actress / Hey you were an actress in Hey you were an actress /Hey you were an actress in my tale Hey it is not tragic; I hope you can feel that magic Hey it is not tragic, I hope you still can feel That magic, hey it is not tragic, I’m not here to pray, I am only here to say, it is not tragic I hope you can feel that magic, I not here to pray, I am only here to sing

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
