Wen habe ich denn da entdeckt. Wieder voll die Brit Pop und Alternative Schiene! Mal nachdenklich und verträumt, dann reißt er mit seinen Songs einen Euphorie strotzend vollkommen mit. Fantastisch...

Zur Zeit jagen und dröhnen daher "A New Heart", "Devestation", "Fuck It, I Love You" und andere einfach quer durch meine Boxen, Ohren, Herz und Seele und spiegeln sich glänzend in meinen Augen wider.

A New Heart:
I’ve been asked to write a song without a swear word or a slight
At myself or another, for my mother for my bride
A song that’ll shine on my kids and theirs to come
Something that’ll love them and watch over when I’m gone
To my ward, to my wheel-chair, to my runner’s-up drip
Will you push me will you pull when I’m too fat to see my…
Didn’t I always tell you I’d stay for 2000 years?
You’d better hope that science fiction doesn’t have good ears
You’re rubbing on my genie hurry up and make a wish
Quenched that thirst my bag is burst watch out for all my…
Flies trying to break in to my eyes like little rymes
Of hatred trying to squeeze inside all these precious lines
I see across to the hills and the bridge that wears the sun
I remember how I feel when I know you’re going to come
Running up the stairway and through the front door
Cook us dinner then we burst, take pictures on the floor
Remember when I sing my songs that opposites attract
That’s why these shavings of despair come zooming to my heart
For he is gold and magnet-red and beacon and a light
I take these flies and pick them off and catalogue the night
So put it in your eyes any way that you like
I say the words and feel your heart when I lie awake at night
I know sometimes I’m moody and you have to wear kid-gloves
I’m trying hard to better myself I’m trying to rise above
So I tried to write a song without a swear word or a slight
At myself or another at my mother at my bride
I almost got accosted by the good old negative
And even when I’m screaming love I’m swearing that it is…
Shouldn’t I just admit it that I’ve lost the race to lose
Break the record in it’s track and stop being confused
A friend to my failures and a friend to myself
Is what I’ll be when I’ve fixed the roof and everything else.

Devastation:
And you're the only person that can make me feel alone
Just withdraw your eyes and you'll hear me start to moan
I've never felt so lonely as when you're in the next room
I hope you come back in here, come back in here soon
Had your face in my eyes all weekend now you're gone
24 long miles but my car's broken down
he wont travel 3 and he cant travel 10
so when will we ever see you again
and I've been so devastated
I've never felt more betrayed
Got a spring in my eye and a light in my step
I wasn't made to feel this way
Got your hair in my hands and your legs running to me
Should I lick the bath or should I wait till Tuesday
I'm sorry for the silence I'm sorry for the noise
You know I'll make it up to you with a million steak McCoys [ Bones? ;-) ]
And how can you like me
With this head and these arms
How can this shallow freak be accused of having charm
The way the earthquakes land when I blow my nose.

Fuck it, I love You:
There's a boxfull of showergels I've left around the world
In the toilets and bathrooms I've been
Chips of my youth fallen off along the way
I've been a long time falling down.
Fuck it I love you, there you go
Three little words on a mobile phone
When are you coming home?
When are you coming home?
Don't want to be alone
Been careless with my friends
Even harder on myself
There's A few stars in the sky I've killed
Pieces of my heart broken off along the way
I've been a long way falling down.
Pretending I'm pretending that everything's ok
So many masks I'm wearing my own face
I can feel my toes burning from my deeds along the way
Before you get up you've got to go down.
Getting trounced being beaten at every turn
I record my mistakes but I never learn
Are you coming home?
When are you coming home?
Don't want to be alone .
