SEVEN TIMES
I’ve been married for 7 times
For 7 times a wolf has mauled my wife
I’ve had to bury her for 7 times
This strange coincidence won’t break my life
I don’t give in to superstition
But isn’t there a reason for suspicion?
Possibly fatality is the answer
Does anyone know?
I don’t care, in fact, what was the colour of the cat
That just crossed the road in a frightening step
But why is then my heart so hasteful
See shivers running down my spine
I don’t give in to superstition
But isn’t there a reason for suspicion
Possibly fatality is the answer
Does anyone know?
I don’t give in to superstition
But isn’t there a reason for suspicion
Would You be my Number Eight?
Would You say “Yes”?
Would You say “Yes”?
Would You say “Yes”?
I don’t care, in fact,
If You say “Yes”
I don’t care, in fact,
If You say “Yes”

Kā Citi Dzīvo

KĀ CITI DZĪVO
Tavs mūžam zaļais akmens dārzs
Ir sācis palēnam kalt
Noguruši vecāki un Tavas meitenes balss
Grūstoties starp pasažieriem
Tu izkāp no autobusa
Nokļūstot pieturā, kur bija runāts satikties
Laiks ir apmācies
Un diez vai tas skaidrosies
Tas liek šaubīties, vai kāds vispār ieradīsies
Un ja Tu vari atļauties
Tad uzaicini viņu uz kino
Un parādi savai meitenei
Kā citi – citi dzīvo
Tu tikai mazliet nokavēji
Nepaspēji un pavisam aizmirsi
Ka visas neaizņemtās vietas var tikai aizņemties
Lai arī debesis ir vilka krāsā
Lai arī cēloni ir grūti konstatēt
Tu skaties viņas stikla acīs, redzot logu, no kā rītdien lēkt

Corrosion

CORROSION
Here come Your always-responsive friends
Those are the symptoms of just another fit
Clench your fists, try to push them out of Your bed
But the brigade just sits on the edge quietly smiling
Your bedside table fills with remedy
White, yellow, light blue, orange, red and green
Who would have imagined a life so colourful
Who would have thought one more moment so meaningful
And through the eye-lids
Through finger apertures
The corrosion creeps into you
Despair devours You
The only way to overcome
Is to use a battering-ram
Be a torpedo that’s
Loaded with delight
Who knows will she someday get to read your letters
That you write each night before to fall asleep
Scared that tomorrow can come not for You
And the disease will use the darkness to fall on You
You write in your letters what haven’t you done yet
For the very last time haven’t tightly embraced her yet
While you search in the sky for a guiding light
It’s just a puddle reflecting Your sky
And through the eye-lids
Through finger apertures
The corrosion creeps into you
Despair devours You
The only way to overcome
Is to use a battering-ram
Be a torpedo that’s
Loaded with delight

My Holiness

MY HOLINESS
Here is my hand for You
Hold it tight if You want
To get on the other side
You need a boat no more
I can walk on water, girl
With You in my arms
My Holiness, my light
Is going to erase Your fears
Just let my hands lay on Your skin
You need the sun no more
I am the true sun for You
I am for You
But I need an open scar
To save the sense
Of who I am
As the scars skin over
Everything will be forgotten
My smile will be untrue again

THE SNAIL & THE HARE
Step onto Your boat, jump onto Your train
Leave Your home hundred miles away
While pictures change as days go by
There’s an aching that overtakes Your mind
Hey
Carry home on Your back
Like a snail
Hey
Enter vast of life
On one way rail
You’re confused and can’t find Your space
Homesick sight turned backwards to a place where it was safe
Here comes another New Year and brings You tears
The world is small, so don’t be scared
You won’t get lost, we all are near
Hey
Focus on what’s forwards
Like a dazzled hare
Hey
Home is on Your back
If You’re gone astray

FERNFAHRERTRAUM
Volke von Flieder, such ein Gewand dir
Das deiner Schőnheit nicht verbirgt
Mach einen Schritt das der Glanz deiner augen
Űber die ganze Welt hin erstrahlt
Atme die Kűhle, die Frische des Morgens
Setz einen blauen Falter ins Haar
Űber die Wiese im Tau komm zum letzten
Zum letzten Mal komm leise zu mir
Nie werd’ ich dich wiedersehen
Nie mehr werde ich dich spűren
Nie mehr wirst du mich verfűren
Nie.. Nie.. Nie mehr..
Taufeuchte Gräser und glitzernde Spinnweben
Samml ich behutsam von deiner Haut
Verdreh mich noch einmal den Kopf mach mich schwindlig
Von violetten Schwaden berauscht
Flűstre ins Ohr mir, weshalb heute Morgen
Deine Wangen so nass sind vom Tau
Lass mich zum letzten Mal dich betrachten
Fűr immer wirst du mein Lieblingstraum sein
Nie werd’ ich dich wiedersehen
Nie mehr werde ich dich spűren
Nie mehr wirst du mich verfűren
Nie.. Nie.. Nie mehr..
Ewigkeiten.. Bis Morgen frűh..
Die Nacht wird vergehen, Entfernungen schwinden
Un d es verzieht sich der Diesel Geruch
Es dämmert der Morgen, ich schliesse die Augen
Und dann träum’ich meinen Fernfahrertraum

The Wonderful Fair

THE WONDERFUL FAIR
If all the birds stop singing
And Your neighbour teams his horse
If it’s getting hard to breathe now
You can already feel this curse
If Joseph sells his brothers
And animals overcrowd the ark
Oh, then kneel down, poor man
Entreat for little mercy
Entreat for mercy
Cause here comes
The fair that profits and violates
The fair that trades and annihilates
Even the vault of heaven flakes off
Every little being flees from foe
Just take a look ahead of You
And Your heart will jump as a doe
A fearsome figure slips through the smaze
Wrapped in slime and mystery
And at his side is marching
His faithful one-legged dog
One-legged dog
Whose master -
The fair that profits and violates
The fair that trades and annihilates
Beware the wonderful fair!

TUMŠAS KAIJAS BALTĀS DEBESĪS
Kas spēs mums palīdzēt
Šo miegu izgulēt
Acīm pusaizmigušām
Pilnām, tukšām
Ieslēgti ērtos dzīvokļos,
Neatgriezeniskos kvadrātmetros
Skaisti ļaudis televizoros
Un nogurušie skatieni to ekrānos
Mēģina starp daudzām svešām sejām
Atrast savējās
Slapjais asfalts gaismās spīd,
Šeit kā vakar atkal pienāks rīts
Kas dienas projām dzīs
Kā baltas kaijas tumšās debesīs
Gaisma izslēgta istabā,
Tu paliec ar sevi divatā
No koridora un kāpņu telpas
Kāds iziet ārā
No burtnīcu lapām būvētās istabas
Atnāk mājās

The Great Absolution

THE GREAT ABSOLUTION
Fireworks de luxe shoot now high in the sky
The great absolution has arrived
Eyes are still looking for the biggest bowl
While legs already gallop away
All becomes holier than ever
‘Cause all becomes cheaper than ever
The great absolution has arrived
Who is not with us, will be under us
Who’s given hands, it’s time for You to grab
For 30 silver pieces the fame here is sold
Truth is rented and felicity subscribed
The beauty of You comes now almost for free
Anyone in their way, will be erased
You look holier than ever
‘Cause You give Yourself cheaper than ever
The great absolution has arrived
My sister, why don’t we stay together from now on
My sweet heart, You give me the biggest income of all
Through sunny courtyards
People floating like a dark cloud
Masses of sacred
Marching to their promised land
The streets are crowded with people in their Sunday best
Holding inflated gum gods high in their hands
One’s pale and lifeless, the other’s blood-red
So much out of breath as if he’s to explode
You whisper softer than ever
But it scares me more than ever
The great absolution has arrived
See the cross so shining in our high outstretched hands
Isn’t it just a trademark of a department store

ASLAN’S SONG
You’re waiting vainly for me
A little friend of mine
I won’t come to see You tonight
Tonight I have no
No right mood
The mood to go to see You, girl
Feels like I’m sick and tired
I don’t want to infect You
With bad thoughts
Feels like the whole world
Has joined it’s hands..
You’re waiting vainly for me
A little friend of mine
I won’t come to see You tonight
Tonight I have no
No right mood
The mood to go to hell, to see You, girl
Feels like the whole world
Has joined it’s hands
With bad thoughts
I don’t want to infect You
With any thoughts
You’re waiting vainly for me
A little friend of mine
I won’t come to see You tonight
See those big and brave men
They have killed me
The sleep lies in sand, there’s no sleep anymore
You reach out for Your crutches
Then near the window You mark Your time
Barefoot, forehead by the glass
Please don’t catch cold
Why don’t You go to bed
Sleep lies in sand, there is no sleep
What are You yearning for at the window
Sleep lies in sand, there is no sleep
Go to bed
All lies in sand, there is nothing here
Go to bed
Everyone lies in sand, there’s no one no more here

PHASIC
It seems we’re safe and happy, no things can harm us now
We don’t ask anything else, it’s already more than fair
But then on a simpliest day so easy – our worlds collapse
You feed the birds in our garden, alone and confused to despair
It’s been a year since I’m watching You from above
Our ways are parted now. Your life, Your laughter still goes on
New impressions are there and new people for Your secrets to share
Only bluebirds sing from the trees – it’s a phase You’re going through
In our spirit
We’re never alone
We’ll live longer than sun
We’ll last longer than stone
In our spirit
We’re always near
And none of us
Will ever disappear

AUSTRALIA
My day is over
The work in the morning
One more day like the others
Full with nothing at all
To fill the void
Rushes water from the ceiling
A parget falls down and
Janitor’s completely drunk
Water climbs
The sea is reaching the table
I’ve got to hurry
To save Your photographs
Just want to see You
How long You can talk with pictures
You said we’ll be going
To Australia
It’s so cold
Outside my window
Great snowflakes falling
Like fluffy ostrich eggs
It’s so dark
Outside my window
On that side of the globe
Already kangaroos wake up
Can’t fall asleep
Mind’s full of thoughts, an overflow
I want so much
With You somewhere far away
All there is
Is just a killing of time now
Until we’re going
To Australia
Dog stares at me like at fool
With koala-sad eyes
I try to tell him
You’re just a little late
Koala tells me
I’m waiting vainly
I send him away, who would have thought
Koalas are so miserable liars
It’s so cold outside my window
I wait for us going to Australia
It’s so dark outside my window
I know we’ll be going to Australia
