Dusty Roads Only dusty roads I´m travelling Since the day I ran away from home Only dusty roads I´m travelling And I roam and roam I make my way through fields of ashes Burned down trees all along my track I make my way through fields of ashes Never looking back Dusty roads take me home (2x) I stumble on though it´s far too hot Sun beats on my head like mad I stumble on though it´s far too hot Never looking back Dusty roads take me home (2x) SOLO Dusty roads take me home (2x)

Dallas, Texas I´m not from Dallas, Texas – nor from southern USA I wasn´t born in Chicago But there´s one thing I can say Blues is with me ev´ryday Listening to Muddy Waters – made me feel like a rolling stone When I first heard John Lee Hooker Well, it cut me right to the bone (4x) BREAK & SOLO & BREAK (- “inspired”) I heard that T-Bone Walker – had stormy Mondays just like me and you And I read that Albert King Inspired Jimi Hendrix too (2x) In this times of bad luck and trouble – deep grief and misery There´s one thing I am shure of The Blues will always be – Blues eternally (2x)

feels like flying 02:53
lyrics

Feels Like Flying The breeze is blowing through trees so high The leaves are flying through the open sky My thoughts meandering and I ask myself why Why – you´re not here A place so calm and silent, hard to believe That time passes and we all are deceived By presence, past so we don´t know what will be And why – you´re not here Feels like I am flying (2x) In my looking glass the whole world is so nice Everchanging just like throwing a dice While thinking about that I still ask myself why Why – you´re not here Feels like I am flying (2x) SOLO Feels like I am flying (2x)

no time to cry 03:41
lyrics

No Time To Cry INTRO Tired from the high speed of living So tired ´cause time rushes by Cars go faster and faster Less time means we have to fly Trying to catch me a handfull of living Trying to work out what to do There are minutes, there are seconds But only a little time to use Here I am so weary, trying to get by I even got no time, no time to cry Restless searching for a meaning Looking for a vision blinded eyed Although deafened I try to listen But there are no words, no words to find Trying to catch me a handfull of living… SOLO Some say there are signs, There are signs you can find Some think that they´re clever, That they got a clever mind I try to catch me a handfull of living I try to work out what to do There are minutes, there are seconds But only a little time to use Here I am so weary, trying to get by I even got no time, no time to cry

Love Music Sittin´ in my lonely room – waitin´ for the day to come Waitin´ with my bleeding heart – and my aching soul Wind wipes away the tears – now and here from yesterday But there´s still a fear ´cause I know what we need We need more love music, in this world that we live in We need more love music, we need to care and to share We need more love music, in this world that we live in We need more love music – yes, we need more love But what would we say – if all our troubles were blown away Would it be a better day – would it be so No more lonely rooms – no more hearts to hurt No more secrets to keep when we know what we need We need more love music… SOLO Wind wipes away the tears – now and here from yesterday But there´s still a fear – that grows with ev´ry deed There are still lonely rooms – in which our hearts are hurt And the secret we keep is we know what we need We need more love music… (2x)

Opposites Attract INTRO When he says stop – she says go When he says yes – she says no Whe he sings hi dee hi She sings hi dee ho But these are words, only words So who cares Whe he smiles – she frowns Whe he´s sad – she fools around But when push come to shove Her help is far from being rough So it is – like it is And who cares INTRO SOLO When he stands still – she runs around And when he jumps – I´m shure she will sit down And when he´up the whole damn night She will sleep real nice and tight But as long – opposites attract Who cares INTRO

Secret Service INTRO (=SOLO) Never ever trust - most important must In the secret service Never sleep too tight – be better up all night Well, it drives you nervous Lock your heart in a case – so it cannot be waste For some secret purpose Always all alone – never find a home That´s the secret service Girl says – she loves you so But maybe, maybe – there is more Someday, someday – she is gone But without her – you can´t go on Pay attention in the bath – the mirror´s maybe glass Think of the secret service Never take a pill – it might break your will Well, it drives you nervous Lock your heart in a case – so it cannot be waste For some secret purpose And never love a girl - ´cause girls they rule the world And that´s their secret service SOLO Girl says – she loves you so…

Better Start To Cry INTRO As I switched on my radio – there were bad news But that didn´t strike me so - ´cause evrything´s confused Ev´rything´s confused Some hundred people killed today – but I kept cool A man said : we´ve to help someway – I thought what a fool What a fool SOLO Our lifeboat´s stuck in stormy weather – and the sea goes high We pull and pull, but it won´t get better So better start to cry Better start to cry Now I´m listening to the raindrops fall – the play our funeral march When water starts to rise up high – no one has built an arch None has built an arch SOLO Our lifeboat´s stuck in stormy weather – and the sea goes high We pull and pull, but it won´t get better So better start to cry Better start to cry

Ghost Of The Blues (using R. Wall´s ballad “Ghost Of The Blues” by kind permission - lyics by Richard.Wall) Walkin´ dusty roads forever Wanderin’ cross the Delta land A mojo in my pocket and a guitar in my hand I know poverty and hardship Dark misery and shame There´s none who´d never heard of me You surely know my name I was there at the crossroads That day the wind blew cold I watched him make the deal And the Devil bought his soul Poor boy in Mississippi Nowhere else to go but up Strumming guitar on street corners For loose change in an old tin cup That´s blues, delta blues Yeah, that´s blues ghost of the blues Some who preached my message Found glory, wealth and fame And some fall by the wayside Dying early in my name Poor boy in Mississippi Nowhere else to go but up Strumming guitar on street corners For loose change in an old tin cup That´s blues, delta blues Yeah, that´s blues ghost of the blues
