#52-second song

Here we go again. It's 2015 and I'm bringing back my 52-second songs! This one might grow into a proper Manticess song someday. The nightingale is, of course, a great singer who died. I did have one specific in mind while writing the chorus, but it's probably better you think of whoever comes to your mind. In other news, I'm attempting to make a video for each song.

Suddenly there was silence where there used to be her song Her feathers had been shimmering and her voice had been so strong Now the nightingale will sing no more The hand of death has locked her door Still I know her spirit will prevail When we sing the song of the nightingale

I like Rocky and Balls

I like Rocky and Balls I like Rocky and Balls So far I only know one of their songs And I like it - and that's all

I like Rocky and Balls And the way they sit in front of that wall Singing songs about a show I've never watched I just like them and I wouldn't mind if they lived across the hall

Liking them after just one song Might be a bit premature But I'll check out another one before too long And hopefully be a happy viewer

Dave's Favourite Toilet / Baby Archaeopteryx

Look around - it's Dave's favourite toilet Black on the ground, black on the walls Look around - it's such a lovely toilet He's happy about this place he found Whenever nature calls

Baby archaeopteryx Baby archaeopteryx Baby archaeopteryx Who are you going to call when your time has come?

Baby archaeopteryx Baby archaeopteryx Baby archaeopteryx Who are you going to call?

Yeah, who are you goint to call when your time has come? Yeah, who are you goint to call when your time has come?

Dinosaurs Fail to Beat Asteroid

No one saw it coming The reptiles didn't care They all just started running Until they ran out of air A new climate prevailed The raptors were annoyed All the birds sailed High above the void While dinosaurs failed To beat the asteroid

Now dinosaurs are gone From forests and lagoons Still their legacy lives on In movies and cartoons With their food chain derailed All raptors were destroyed The birds just sailed High above the void While dinosaurs failed To beat the asteroid

Die Formulierung toll bedeutet awesome

German is a language that is complex and confusing It contains such words as Sitzpinkler which can be quite amusing But if you start to look for an adequate translation Of 'awesome' you'll find a lexical gap

The dictionary says 'toll' means 'awesome' But that doesn't sound quite as cool The meaning of 'toll' used to be 'mad' and 'crazy' Sometimes when I say it, I feel like a fool

Die deutsche Sprache hat viel mehr Facetten Als die englische Sprache und ich könnte wetten Dass noch niemand eine adäquate Übersetzung Für das Wort 'awesome' gefunden hat

Die Formulierung 'toll' bedeutet 'awesome' Zumindest steht es so im Wörterbuch Doch immer wenn ich sagen möchte, etwas sei 'awesome' Finde ich im Deutschen nicht das Wort, das ich such

Dance for the Blind Aviator

He's been to many places And he fought in the war He's seen plenty of faces But that was before

His eyes got worse and his bones got old His wife got sick and his plane got sold

Now he can barely stand And he is deaf on one ear But before the end He just would like to hear

The melody that captured his soul That mended his heart and made him whole

Dreams Flow Through Berlin's Alleys

Darkness falls everywhere around me I'm convinced the light out there are fake I close my eyes; now Morpheus has found me But still the city is wide awake

I'm walking through the alleys of the capital I'm picking up the pieces of the past I'm looking for the places that I used to know My footprints in the snow ain't going to last

The border used to be right here And I'm still amazed that times have changed so fast
