read my diary
02:51
|

Pick it up
from the ground
take the pages
where you found
justification.
Swallow the lines,
snort ‘em up,
drink the letters
in a cup
for a consolation.
You hold my life in your hand
You took away its innocence.
I feel bad that I wrote it.
There’s no need that you quote it.
I feel embarrassed the way I lived
In that hide-away,
paper hide-away.
For if you need some guarantee
get a little closer to my secrets, and
if you want to get rid of that mystery
Read my diary
read my diary.
We’re still persons on our own
We share secrets for ourselves
May we be one in some way
Sometimes two we should remain.

sadeyed man
05:05
|

What can I give her,
she couldn't get from another man?
Don't like to be compared with them,
don't like to condemn.
Inside me there's fire,
burning love and jealousy.
Why can't she even call me up,
I'm running wild, blind
into love's insanity.
I can't bear this feeling
to be left alone on the streets.
There are all these sad - eyed men
worrying about their girls, just like me.
I know she'll be faithful
cause she said she would always care.
But deep inside, my confidence
is shook by her absence and I ask again:
Where did you spend the last night?
and Why don't you see that I'm not alright?
and Who is the reason that you've been out of sight?
And I tell you baby I won't wait again,
I'm sick of this feeling and being such a sad - eyed man
I can't bear this feeling..

talks of tomorrow
03:41
|
|||
You could eat from the floor,
and the windows are clear
I am waiting for someone
but no one is here
I could wait for so strongly
and all is prepared
for the moment
for the moment, I know
that tomorrow begins the rest of my life
and I’m biting my nails
as it’s up to arrive,
as the talks of tomorrow
drive away the tidiness
anyway it’s meaningless
Oh oh oh oh oh
I could listen the talks
But I don’t understand
it's a language that I can’t yet comprehend
I won’t learn it until
the meaning gets real
and I will see
that I don’t need no teacher
Oh oh oh oh oh [that I don’t need no teacher]
And the talks of tomorrow are here

elsewhere
02:33
|
|||
I have been to Morocco,
Waterfalls, I’ve seen them flow
Skin as dark as ebony
And desert turning into sea
But though this place is worth to go,
A different one I care:
My heart is elsewhere
Many cities I have seen,
London, Paris and Berlin
They all are different, but somehow
They loose their meaning here and now,
Cause all the roads that I have walked
And those with whom I talked
Were not the ones I care
They made me so aware
My heart is elsewhere,
My heart is elsewhere

letters from Paris
04:39
|
|||
It is half past ten,
The train arrives,
I let the tension go.
She is waiting at the top for an embrace
There'll be time enough for thinking
and yet both we can sink into
a future no one of us knows by face.
Her existence is an ocean,
ev'ry mile is something new,
though the blue always seems to be the same.
It's the ink for all the words on
the blank papers on her desk
while outside the future beasts wait untamed.
Letters from Paris
Letters from Paris
Lettres de Paris, I will send to you
We both wandered hand in hand
and soul to soul through misty streets,
untouched by the rumours of this place.
Our innocence was frivolous,
we let the tensions go,
we both shared the undivided joy of days.
When we returned to Gare d l'Est,
we both kept silent,
and silence held back all the tears to cry.
She turned around not even waving
and while I was moving, she soon escaped from my eyes.

failure (long edit)
06:03
|
|||
All I did and all I planned
fire to ashes and stone to sand
Seems to me that all my efforts useless
Never did I give in, nor relax
a running locomotive on forgotten tracks
Seems to me my energy so pointless
I don’t need another failure
I think I learned my lessons yet
The lessons l already learned from my mistakes.

tears for Augustine
05:36
|
|||
I bury my dreams
five feet deep
Where they can rest,
where they can sleep
So long I carried them all in vain
II: I know I know I can't explain :II
I lose control down every street
could cry with everyone I meet
It feels like I'm through with it all,
II: I know I know it's all my fault :II
I grow a beard so I'm not seen
I shed a tear for Augustine
Should she be the only one I know!…?
II: I know I know I'll let her know :II
The ruins of my life I feed
to those who really are in need
And though I'll never see their faces
II: I know I know about their grace :II
I call my folks, and my message is plain
that they won't ever see me here again
So many times I tried to part from them
II: from you, the ewe, the ram, the lamb :II
And when I'm finished and I clear my brain
I'm gonna to see my dreams again
And if the soil is still too dry
a tear, another tear I'll cry
II: a tear for Augustine I'll cry :II

Amor

[he]
Ev'ry little step you take
Ev'ry single hour awake
I will keep an eye on you
and I know that you just do
[both] the same
[she]
Cupid aimed his arrow at me
right into my heart as deep as can be
By this mark you shall know me
as the one who belongs to thee
[both] forever
Forever – together – forever – and ever

Givenbirth
nothing on earth
as deep and calm
No single word
from outer world
could do you
bad and harm.
As distant as could be
as close as you to me
as joyful as a tear
as mighty as my fear
The love that grows in me
comes unconditionally
upon you long before you appear
I feel your life
I hear you sigh
Maybe you're frightened of what comes
A universe
an entire world
is what I can feel in my palms
And I will keep away
ev'ry threat that may
come close to you
when awake or asleep
To be your father [through all the flesh I see you
and no other I see a life beginning
is the only promise I could ever keep. I see my whole life turning]

White Venus
05:19
|
|||
Giddiness, my sweet giddiness,
you make me dance ‘til dizziness.
I could swear, that I caressed
a light emitted by a dream to testify.
Meaningless, oh so meaningless
seems all I’ve seen before.
I just stand still,
the earth stands still,
the breathes I hear
announce the kiss I feel.
Giddiness, my sweet giddiness,
for you I tumble out of loneliness.
The price to pay I paid by suffering I guess,
The dream is testified by Venus dressed in white.
Consciousless I’m drifting in unconsciousness,
‘til I emerge out of my virgin’s holiness.
The earth stands still,
the pain I feel,
the dying breathe of a demon killed.
Giddiness, oh sweet giddiness,
you changed and turned into happiness.
I’ll take her hand with tenderness,
the earth stands still,
the future will not end.

you are so real
05:53
|
|||
You are so real
So leaving you to me seems
impossible.
You are so real
So leaving you for me is
impossible.
Shine on, live on
Send waters to the thirsty man
who needs you.
Burn bright
and keep him warm
Whisper words of tenderness
into his ears.
Don’t listen to the wolves
Just care for yourself
You’re too important for the world
beneath your feet.
Don’t blame it on the stars
The only star is you
It will take eons to understand
what made you.
You are so real
Sometimes It’ll be impossible
to reach you.

morgen es wird schoen Vienna, Austria
MEWS has been founded in 1988 by former art students and entrepreneurs Peter Obroni and Dirk E. Schaetzler. They started to perform as street-troubadours in Vienna, faces painted black&white. After many more or less successful gigs and one EP, they decided to sign over MEWS to a young musician – who was kindly asked not to unveil his identity. ... more
