Acoustic & Electric Growls

(2019)

 

 

A Place In Your Brain

​

There's a place in your brain

where an ancient moon is sleeping

it has made you create a mystic road

that leads to the memories you are keeping

 

There's a place in your brain

where an old rusty bottle is waiting

it has made you get opinions on everything

and you've learned to keep hating

 

 

 Life Is Just Like A Bar Where There Ain't No Booze

​

Everybody stays at home with no job

people ain't got nothing but the blues

the clouds fall down from the sky

life is just like a bar where there ain't no booze

 

You can't even trust your shadow

because it's not your best friend anymore

the nights can hide the days

in this world full of  fear for war

 

The roosters don't crow in the mornin'

there ain't a mystical bond between wolves and the moon

people lose their paths in the fog of life

our living is just like a soup without a spoon

 

 

 Simple, Honest & Wise

 

This hypocritical mad society

has brought  anxiety in your life

you have to live simply, and be honest and wise

if you want to stay alive

 

The demands of your ego

have made your life complicated

you have to live simply, and be honest and wise

forget the troubles and the time you have wasted

 

The blues always lurks in the corner to grab you

but you know that your smile is the best medicine for your sadness

you have to live simply, and be honest and wise

so you stay away from this world's madness

 

 

 Broken Pieces Of My Wasted Time

 

Now that the night is over

and I am down to the bone

I can find the broken pieces of my wasted time

walking all alone

 

I can bring back the smile on your face

And I can follow the path of your colored dreams

wearing my dusty shoes

And walking in the forest with the moonlight beams

 

 

In This Juke Joint Of Bitter Music

 

Drinkin' in this juke joint of bitter music

thinkin' of  comin' back home again

you have no friends around

your soul is full of pain

 

Like a skeleton with a pistol in his hand

your crazy laughter is the soundtrack of the night

your mind is on ice

but you will find a shelter in the dawning light

 

 

I Can't Do Anything Right

 

 I have to be adaptable, brave, calm, decisive and easygoing

fair-minded, generous, hard-working, affable and broad-minded

but people always tell me "It was a really nice try"

I feel like I can't do anything right

 

I have to be affectionate, careful, diligent, emotional and fearless

gentle, honest, ambitious, compassionate and discreet

but people always tell me "It was a really nice try"

I feel like I can't do anything right

 

I have to be amiable, conscientious, dynamic, energetic and frank

amicable, convivial, friendly, humorous, considerate and funny

but people always tell me "It was a really nice try"

I feel like I can't do anything right

 

 

Trapped In A Fox Hole

 

You are on the street walking like an old dog

and your shantytown looks inhospitable in the pouring rain

you are playing a losin game thinking

that you will find your stolen soul again

 

Times have changed

you can't rock and you can't roll

your music done gone on that midnight train

you are trapped in a fox hole

 

 

Some Strange Truths

 

You feel like a child

but not as a useful member of society

some strange truths

have made you live quietly

 

You are smart as hell

but you don’t feel gifted in any special way

some strange truths

have taught you to pray

 

You work all the time

but only art makes you breathe in this town

some strange truths

have pulled you further down

 

 

 The Best Trip That Never Ends

 

 Come on baby

lay down by my side

our love is the best trip that never ends

and believe me nowadays such a trip is hard to find

 

Someone is always trying to tell us

trying to tell us how to live

but we have made our own choices and directions

so keep them at bay, they haven't good feelings to give

 

Now I understand

what most people wanted for me

they wanted to see me down

and living in misery

 

If you try to play by their rules

it's certain that you will lose your mind

they can't break free from their Jealousy

although their presence looks gracious and kind

 

I'll protect you baby

every kinda way

don’t believe that the love you are giving them

will come back to you someday

 

 

 A New Destination

 

It is a cold, dark night...

Your cigarette ash is flying in the air...

Mysterious lights from nowhere

are blinding your eyes...

Drunken bums in black raincoats

are the heroes of a dirty pavement...

The club is open...

you are looking for a broken tale behind the bar...

The rain just before dawn

sounds like a blues song to you...

It 's a new destination...

 

 

 The Old Blue Fence Of Fear

 

 If you want to replace your frown with a smile

you have to jump the old blue fence of fear

If you want to feel the pleasure of joy that lifts up the spirit

you have to jump the old blue fence of fear

 

The old blue fence of fear

grows when you are down

it can make you feel like a lonesome stranger

in your own hometown

 

 If you want to turn your nightmares into dreams

you have to jump the old blue fence of fear

If you have the desire to see new places and learn new things

you have to jump the old blue fence of fear

 

The old blue fence of fear...

 

If you want to feel satisfied when you help someone else

you have to jump the old blue fence of fear

If you want to be inspired from experiences that can take your breath away

you have to jump the old blue fence of fear

 

The old blue fence of fear...

 

 

 Break Out Of Your Cage

 

Break out of your cage

before your sadness puts you down

don't lose the sunshine

although you know that all good things happens after sundown

 

Blink your eyes into darkness

and you 'll see the  part you ’d like to keep

it’s time to play

collecting treasures from a trash heap

 

Don’t let anything get in between you and your madness

forgive the bees that they don't want to take your honey anymore

love your mistakes and don't trust nobody

everybody does his job through the back door

 

You don't have to run so far

to clean up the dirty days of your past

you have to forget that you were living in hell

and promise to yourself that you will make it fast

 

 

All Comes Out Right

 

When the wind screams

you go downtown

when danger is waiting at the corner

you whisper crazy lyrics to the crowd 

 

With a head full of thoughts

you feel alive in the storm of the night

things ain’t like they seem

but all comes out right

 

You want to erase your traces

and disappear completely

you'd been down many times

people have hurt your feelings deeply

 

 

Wrapped Up In Your Magic World

​

Wrapped up in your magic world

that's where I belong

when I throw my arms around you

I feel so strong

 

Wrapped up in your magic world

my inspiration is your smile

I see the streets no longer empty

As I escape from my exile

 

 

 The Blues In His Veins

 

He's created his own prison

and he can't cut his chains

his empty glass always wants a whiskey

doctors discovered the blues in his veins

 

His fears are too big for his mind

and he 's left his drunk soul in an abandoned road

leave him alone to express his feelings

the blues in his veins is about to explode

 

 

 The River

 

Tell me

what the river has done to you

you are always haunted by its waters

it always knows when you feel sad and blue

 

This river is dangerous for someone to swim in

I would not recommend anyone to cross it by boat

it knows well how to hide its secrets

chances of a sense of reality have become even more remote

 

 

Stupid Rules Blues

 

I 'll give you whatever you want babe

my soul looks like a blank check

but please, take all these stupid rules from me

and this blues from around my neck

 

 Just bring your love babe

and leave the rest behind

take all these stupid rules from me

and this blues will no longer be in my mind

​

 

One Sin In Seven Parts

(2014)

 

 

Welcome Boy

 

Welcome boy,

welcome to life

This is the craziest world you ‘ve ever been

But you can find some satisfied

 

 

In This World Of Madness

 

Someone is gonna keep you warm

But sometimes you ‘ll be alone in the darkness

You ‘ll see so many people hurting each other

In this world of madness

 

 

Your Ticket To Adventure

 

You can find your ticket to adventure

Maybe you can read the signs

But don’t believe the words of wisdom

There’s too much confusion with no confines

 

 

A Callin’ Down The Riverside

 

It’s gonna rain hard

Maybe it’s a callin’ down the riverside

But when the river makes all the rules

You have to run & hide

 

 

A Secret Place

 

You can make a secret place

To hide the memories that hunt you

But you got no time to waste

‘cause a new sweet temptation is always next to you

 

 

Dig In Your Soul

 

You can howl the blues for the captain

But I’m howlin’ these blues for you

Drinkin’ & walkin’ when the dawn begins to crack

you can dig in your soul and find what to do

 

 

The Dreamland’s Door

 

Maybe your scream is silent

And you can’t feel a thing anymore

You can go where the moon meets the stars

There’s a knock on the dreamland’s door

 

 

Somethin' Like Blues or Haunted Ballads

(2012)

 

 

Light To The Darkest Train

​

Late in the midnight hour

or early in the morning rain

I got nothing but bluesin' on my mind

it brings light to the darkest train

all aboard...

 

 

Through The Keyhole

​

You can see through the keyhole in the door

to find out the world you don't know

but you can't feel and smell the ocean

when nighttime comes and you lose the show

 

A stranger can make you break mama's rules

can make your blood run warm

but when dreamland is closed

you are alone in an electric storm

 

You don't have to tell  me lies

Just keep your mouth shut

your sweet little secrets

must stay kept only in your heart

 

 

Try Another Time

​

The night is just about gone

and it keeps raining outside

the blues is taking me by the hand

I wish the empty bottle was full like a rising tide

 

I am the  fruit of a poisonous tree

and if you try to change my ways

I tell you : try another time

‘cause my blues is not fading away yet

 

 

The Hawk Of The Night

​

Your midnight dream has lost the way

and your tracks are out of line

but you ‘ve got an answer about everything

you design, combine and shine

 

I wish you had shared your dream

with the hawk of the night

telling jokes, lies and tales

you would have spent well your life

 

The hawk of the night

Walked alone the path of its rambling life

but in your heart there was no blaze

and you couldn't see it even in the light

 

 

A Game

​

You brought the town to your feet

you killed the nightmare that almost drove you crazy

playing a game with rain and dark

moving slow,  taking it easy

 

The dwarf was right when he said

"Everyone has one special thing"

you found the endless bottle of whiskey

and it is hard to tell if  you lose or win

 

 

Big Fake Smiles

 

You hurt me so much with what you did

but I ‘ll not turn  my gun on you

I am gonna find real people to care about me

and I don't give a penny about your sweet blue

 

Everybody in my home town tells me

about the rumors you have filled their minds with

I don’t  care about your lies, I ‘ve got my life

I ‘m not a saint but I don’t  feel guilt

 

You used to tell me time and time again

"You got to find your own path Paul"

I was a loser and now it ‘s my turn to win

But you don’t  like my choices at all

 

Sometimes I wander by myself

thinking about the way you loved me

but your big fake smiles made the Summer warmer

and the Winter stormy

 

 

In Your Sweet Red Garden

​

In your sweet red garden

when you turn out the lights

everything seems so beautiful

but my dreams meets the blue nights

 

In your sweet red garden

when it comes the break of day

I can burn my bitter lyrics

but I can't drive my blues away

 

 

The Elf’s Fountain

​

In the shadows of our village

there ‘s a little shining light

they call it "the elf’s fountain"

its magical power captures the night

 

It can fill your soul with happiness

it can fill your soul with sorrow

it ‘s a crazy game of poker

if you think about tomorrow

 

Someone told me that it ‘s an angel

someone else that it ‘s the devil's child

the truth fell in love with the lie

and if you believe that you know...

 

 

Think Way Back

​

You are looking for revenge

hiding in the dark square

but I am looking for happiness

in the middle of nowhere

 

Maybe the night that comes

will make you think way back

in a room full of laughter

away from the wolf pack

 

All people are watching

but no one saw a thing

sorry for being real

and you hurt me on the wing

 

 

His Own Circus

​

To you it is all some kind of joke

but he is gonna stage a play in the wood pile

he wastes no time

waiting for her killer smile

 

He has worked hard in his mind

for his own circus in the snow

he feels the blues in his heart

and he always wants his drink to overflow

 

 

You Expect Me To Do The Right Thing

​

This may seem like a lie

but I can feel it all around

in this world of pressure

unemployment has brought madness to the people

​

can someone help stop these hard times?

 

We have no destination

and we can't face the nights

we are lost in a tune

and you expect me to do the right thing

 

The room is full of ghosts

is it time to pray or is it time to fight?

The beast is smiling in my ear

and you expect me to do the right thing

 

 

Fifteen Raindrops In An Ocean Of Blues Tales

(2009)

 

 

Let’s Do The Boogie All Night

 

I know how to rock n’ roll

Better than any man in town

You got rhythm in your feet

You are a melody that I need

​

Com’ on baby,

let’s do the boogie all night

 

You are a good lovin’ mama

And my love is deep as the river

Come a lil’ closer babe

We got to rock the night

​

Com’ on baby,

let’s do the boogie all night

 

We can be so lovin’ tonight baby

And you won’t feel bad again

​

Com’ on baby,

let’s do the boogie all night

 

 

A Voodoo Woman Can…

 

She ‘s afraid that you ‘ll leave her

She got you doin’ things you never done before

A voodoo woman can make you hide

A voodoo woman can make you lose your mind

 

She don’t know what love is about

She don’t even know the night from dawn

A voodoo woman can make you hide

A voodoo woman can make you lose your mind

 

 

In Wood Alcohol Line

 

If you can’t lay your head upon your baby’s shoulder

‘cause all she wanna do is fight

Come on in wood alcohol line

And everythin’ is gonna be all right

The man on the stage is playin’ the blues

He’ s got hot rhythm in his hand

When you feel sad and blue

 

If a black snake told you your mistakes

Talkin’ just like a natural man

Come on in wood alcohol line

And everythin’ is gonna be all right

The man on the stage is playin’ the blues

He’ s got hot rhythm in his hand

When you feel sad and blue

 

If you are lost in the dark

And the blues keeps haunting you

Come on in wood alcohol line

And everythin’ is gonna be all right

The man on the stage is playin’ the blues

He’ s got hot rhythm in his hand

When you feel sad and blue

 

If in all your dreams

your soul ‘s drifting far away

Come on in wood alcohol line

And everythin’ is gonna be all right

The man on the stage is playin’ the blues

He’ s got hot rhythm in his hand

When you feel sad and blue

 

 

Dr. Lonely

 

You are doin’ your crawlin’ at midnight

And the moon is givin’ light

Your eyes’ turned cherry red

You wanna drink and walk all night

You won’t change ‘cause it’s in your blood

But Dr. Lonely ‘s got the answer

To your blues tonight

 

 

Crazy Tones

 

 Everything I do seems to be wrong

And I ‘m sittin’ here with my head in my hand

Nobody knows me

Nobody can’t understand

 

I can’t sleep at night

My eyes looks like black stones

I gave you all, there is nothin’ left

But my blue and these crazy tones

 

 

Goodbye My Good Luck

 

I washed my hands with seven herbs

For seven minutes into boiling water

But I lost all of my money

Goodbye my good luck,goodbye

 

I took the left hind foot of a rabbit

I bought myself a key ring with a slot machine (777)

But I lost all of my money

Goodbye my good luck,goodbye

 

I took a tooth from an alligator

I bought myself a key ring with a horseshoe

But I lost all of my money

Goodbye my good luck,goodbye

 

 

There Is No Place For You

 

You try to find some place where you belong

Travellin’ from town to town

But there is no place for you in this world

When your baby can’t be found

 

Now you are back on the sreet

Sittin’ in a corner all alone

You are playin’ the blues in this cold city

Hoping that some rainy day she ‘ll come back home

 

 

S.B.T.

 

I got a band that ‘s called S.B.T.

To play the blues when the days are long and sad

We close the doors and we lock the windows

We leave all troubles behind and a crazy melody is borned

 

Brothers let me sing ‘til the dawn is breakin’

And I ‘m gonna make the heaven mine

What’s the life can give me

Without music in my mind?

 

 

A Dance With Shadows

 

Got out late last night in the rain

And the blues kept fallin’ down

You know I was singin’ down slowly

In this ol’ lonesome town

 

My whiskey drinkin’ soul was screamin’:

Man, take a chain to the devil’s bar

Lord, it’s a fire that keeps on burnin’

A dance with shadows in the dark

 

 

Up In Heaven & Down In Hell

 

Up in heaven & down in hell

I wanna lil’ booze to keep me high

Blue shadow keeps on fallin’

Makes this killer cry

 

If you don’t bount some ramble train

You can bet your life on driving my blues away

You know I ‘m going up to the moon

Blowin’ my blues harp ‘til the break of day

 

 

Mr. Rob

 

Come all you rounders

that wanna hear the story of Mr. Rob

he had three women in three different towns

and he used to play with them very good

 

two days a week he used to play with Mary

two days a week he used to play with Katy

two days a week he used to play with Sophie

and one day a week he used to stay all alone

 

Mary sprinkled powder snake heads all around his door

Katy took all his money and she done him wrong

Sophie quit him for some other man

And now seven days a week he is all alone

 

 

My Lonesome Song

 

I never forget that day

When you heard my lonesome song

You told me:

Don’t let your whiskey makes you howl this way
