If Life could be an old Capra Movie
You’ll be Mary, me George Bailey
Let’s throw a Stone! Make a wish!
Anger and Rage would vanish
For you, I will lasso the Moon
For you, I will lasso the Moon
Life must go on, I wonder
but i’m afraid to dive in the Water
How could Clarence get his Wings?
Faraway would the Bell ring?
For you, I will lasso the Moon
For you, I will lasso the Moon
Who could fix my broken Heart
who could bring my Lover back
For you, I will lasso the Moon
For you, I will lasso the Moon
For you, I will lasso the Moon
For you, I will lasso the Moon

My Baby’s gone
gone with the Sun
My Baby’s gone
gone with the Sun
The Clouds are weepin’
in my Eyes
The clouds are weepin’
in my Eyes
i’m not cryin’
I thought I was the Only One
I thought I was the Only One
but i’m not that One
My Shoes are sinkin’
in the Mud
My Shoes are sinkin’
in the Mud
Am I falling?
I thought I was the Only One
I thought I was the Only One
but i’m not that One
Jersey comes back
in my Mind
Jersey comes back
in my Mind
How could I forget?
I thought I was the Only One
I thought I was the Only One
I thought I was the Only One
I thought I was the Only One
but i’m not that One

Hide Away

You were born in the late Sixties
as Mid-Life Crisis Remedy
Some Kind of need-to-know Basis
Fragile Leaf of Family Tree
Raised in a World of Tragedy
Built on Lies and Felony
How could you really be happy
As long as you stand in that Family ?
Forget your Illusions
You may not be Responsible
Let’s make a Decision
You can’t hide yourself away
You don’t have to clean up the Mess
Ring the Mop! Lose the Shovel
Life is a long-distance Death Race
Time hasn’t come to throw in the Towel
Forget your Illusions
You may not be Responsible
Let’s make a Decision
You can’t hide yourself away
Forget your Illusions
You may not be Responsible
Let’s make a Decision
You can’t hide yourself away

May the Third just before the Night
I was staring at the Sea
I saw your Figure by the Lighthouse
I’m sure you were looking at me
May the Third later in the Night
I was dreaming about you
I felt your Skin when you held me tight
I woke up and I thought
Forgive me, forget me
Forgive me, forget me
My Heart is cold
Two Days after the Ghost
I was surfing on the Web
When I lost the Mouse Control
and the Light Cam was turning to Red
Two Days after the Shade
I had to drive in to Town
I found a Message on the Windshield
Impossible for me to read and I cried
Forgive me, forget me
Forgive me, forget me
My Heart is cold
When you came into the Room
with a Razor in your Hand
I knew i was a Fool
to believe in Peace once again
When you came into the Room
I saw your Tears, i saw your Smile
on your Cheeks, on your Lips
You put the Razor on your Wrist and i told you:
Forgive me, forget me
Forgive me, forget me
My Heart is cold
When you laid down the Bed
You touched my Face, you slapped me
we were too close anyway
to see our Dead End
And when you laid down the Bed
You stripped and spat on my Grave
Then you showed me the Blade
You took my Cock and slashed me
Forgive me, forget me
Forgive me, forget me
Your Heart is cold

Days and Nights
You show your Tears
Social Networks
Using to complain
Little by little
Your Face is turning to Grey
Smile disappears
Sadness on your Lips
Believe me, Baby
love is not what you’re waiting for
(but) Consolation
Consolation
Should I care
or should i Cure?
I’m not your Daddy
and i ain’t your Ex
No Remedy
for your teenage Grief
Love and Mercy
Your Leitmotiv
Believe me, Baby
love is not what you’re waiting for
(but) Consolation
Consolation
No, i’m not Doctor Love
No, i’m not Doctor Love
No, i’m not Doctor Love
No, i’m not Doctor Love
Believe me, Baby
love is not what you’re waiting for
(but) Consolation
Consolation

Better Man

You told me: "You were a Liar"
You told me: "I can't forgive you, anyway"
I know, the Time as come
to be Honest and Fair
but if i'm not the One
You know you’d better go
Get away, get away, get away, get away
Try to be a better Man
Try to be better
Better Man
Try to be better
A better Man
Try to be better
You told me: "Love is not Passion"
You told me: " I need Protection," from my Man
I know i'm not Alright
but I try to be strong
Listen to your Heart
Your Skin can't be wrong
Disobey, disobey, disobey, disobey
Try to be a better Man
Try to be better
Better Man
Try to be better
A better Man
I can be better
A better Man
Try to be better
A Better Man
Try to be better
A better Man

Let’s take a Walk trough the Valley of Death
Let’s take a Walk until we’re out of Breath
and the Sun will get us Blind
and the Vultures circle around…us
Take it easy
We gonna die Together
as we promised
Do you remember?
Cold Winter Day
Pandora Beach with your Love
as you said
I was your Love and you swore
« until the End of Times »
So the End is now
Let’s take a Walk trough the Valley of Death
Let’s take a Walk until we’re out of Breath
and the Sun will get us blind
and the Vultures circle around…us
Don’t be afraid, Sweetie
There’s nowhere to go
No Escape in here
As Dylan said
« Death is not the End »
Oh, that’s right, you always hated Dylan
You’re always been Tasteless
How could you leave me for that Fool?
Now his Life is in God’s Hands
yours in mine
Let’s take a Walk trough the Valley of Death
Let’s take a Walk until we’re out of Breath
and the Sun will get us blind
and the Vultures circle around…us
Let’s take a Walk
Let’s take a Walk
Let’s take a Walk
The last Walk

Murder
on a dirty Snow
There’s a Body
It’s cold
Blood
on my shaking Hands
I’ve killed my Love
and I’m punished
Today
must be
our Wedding Day
Cheree, Cheree
My Love is gone
Your Heart is cold
like a Stone
Today
you should marry me
Today
I should marry you
but i’ve killed you
I’ve killed my Love
I’ve killed my Love
It’s an Abortion
My Child will never be
My Child will never be
Mina
Mina
My sweet
little Daughter
I’ve killed my love
I’ve killed my love
It’s an Abortion
No more Tears in my Eyes
No more
No more
only Blood on my Hands
You were the Summit of my Life
My Diamond, my Wife
Today
you should marry me
Today
I should marry you
but i’ve killed you
I’ve killed my Love
I’ve killed my Love
It’s an Abortion
Mina will never be
My sweet little Daughter
will never be

Bunny, Bunny Lee
You’re getting high, high and low
All down the line on fiction row
Bunny, Bunny Lee
Stuck inside a world of fantasy
You’re losing touch with reality, (Oh Bunny)
Open your heart!
Be my next paper doll
Open your heart!
Be my next paper doll
Mary, Mary Lou
Walking down the streets of desire,
You come and fuel my hidden fire
Open your heart!
Be my next paper doll
Open your heart!
Be my next paper doll
You are my little paper doll
You are my little paper doll
You are my little paper doll
You are my little paper doll
Open your heart!
Tell me your life
Open your heart!
Tell me your life
Open your heart!
Be my next paper doll
Open your heart!
Be my next paper doll

James Eleganz Dinard, France
What’s left of the Berlin of David Bowie and Iggy Pop?

Together, they created James Eleganz’s new album “Hotel Augusta”. It establishes James Eleganz as an artist to be reckoned with for many years to come. ... more
