HOME TO JANIS JOPLIN My father killed my mother with a shovel he said he had got enough he was a doctor and we were only kids used to him playing rough We buried her a Sunday in the garden where the German Shepard lies never saw that dog, but they told me it was like my fathers favorite child My sister collected the syringes she prayed a psalm over them she was always so pretentious sweet little daddy's prey My brother cried and ask our dad is mother home with God no, he laughed, she is most certainly with Janis Joplin, my boy Home, she is home She is home with Janis Joplin My brother stopped crying and life went on lying we had the maid come extra days My father married his cousin he was tired of lonely ways my mother could never give him what that stepmother whore could give us, she would torture always when she wasn't busy ro(u)bbing him Well, I lived trough it and got away a long and winding road I met both hell and heaven and I deeply resented them both Home, I wanna go home home to Janis Joplin And Vivian opens her window to the garden at the end of the road falling into to Janis arms she was waiting for her, you know I'm standing sadly smiling on the road to my Marie Janis say I must struggle on one day they are coming back for me ! Home, I wanna go home to Janis Joplin tired of barely coping sick of all this hoping putting all my faith in ending up here crawling.. So home I just wanna go home to Janis Joplin

MERCY STREET 05:36

What's going down in Mercy Street you don't wanna hear the evidence are in my head and makes it hard to sleep the beggars and the prostitutes are nowhere to be seen There things I couldn't speak of down at Mercy Street You once lived down in Mercy Street we both where selling books we were poor, but proud men and payed the price it took the bars where always open and the cops would still say please there ain't no much of that no more down at Mercy Street Remember sweet Johanna she was hooking down at third a Swedish girl, tough as nails at least that's what I heard A month ago they found her in the river all cut up I never would go asking down in Mercy Street what's up And Daniel and Lafayette and John who drove a cab they drank to much and fucked around but nothing more than that all three of them so very nice they made us always laugh they drove them out of Mercy Street their no longer alive And maybe time must change and I'm too old for all this new 'cause all what I believed in have just vanished in the blue and people everywhere I turn are looking much to neat I guess that many more than me miss old Mercy Street They're coming now it's time for us We're taking up their space They'll take us down to Disneyland and shoot us in the face Remember what I told you and tell everyone you meet bring in the angry crowd and Take back Mercy Street !

BEAUTIFUL MARIE 05:18
lyrics

Don't know where you are, Marie in this unfriendly town I never seem to get my head around I play it sound I pass the strangers I pass the windows I pass the winter naked willows searching for the words I still not haven't heard I have so much to tell you, Marie Don't worry 'bout a thing, Marie it's OK that you cannot be what all the people crave of you to be you must be free Pass the strangers Pass the windows Pass the winter naked willows come over from your space I know there will be ways I have so much to tell you, Marie I hope you will come, Marie.. Though the roads to make it us might be more than I can ask I know what life does but if you come... Pass the strangers Pass the windows Pass the winter naked willows I'm a poet, I got hope and you are stronger than you know I have so much to tell you, Marie

MY GIRL 06:31

MY GIRL My girl is dancing naked in the streets she has betrayed me again she is smiling to my face she's talking nonsense like always She is a master of escaping consequence she got an ocean to her face my girl got everything she needs she's dancing naked in the streets She got my name written on her chest she got emerald green eyes and when she moves her burning hips she makes it all an art She's been playing around another mans feet she makes him feel at ease she's got an open mind she says she's dancing naked in the streets My girl is dancing naked in the streets she has betrayed me again she is laughing to my face she's talking nonsense like always

WAITING FOR THE MAN 07:33
lyrics
buy track
There's nothing about this day to make the night within us go away Clouds so overhanging shadows banging the air is vibrating locked up in a waiting patience on descending restless comprehending comprehend a ending where to go is nowhere but to wait The Tailor and the Jew The Poet and The Brewer The Queen is looking trough the mirror We are waiting for The Man There sun feels like a moon we cannot speak just irritated loom Sentences 'bout weather the slow fall of the feather mindlock on the seconds eyes down walls daylight falls Waiting for release hoping for a mending sat here backwards bending for the minutes in the second every watch is wrong The Tailor and the Jew The Poet and The Brewer The Dancing Queen is holding us together We are waiting for The Man And if you ever where strong for the game to lose a bit of pride for moments of divine you where tough enough to take whatever came even blame There's nothing much to say we know it all lost in every hour in this way The brewer started drinking the poet slowly shrinking the tailor moves the iron and tell a Jewish joke The Jew is laughing looking to where the queen is cooking magic out of nothing thunder in the air when will he ever be here? The Tailor and the Jew The Poet and The Brewer The Dancing Queen is on the phone to someone We are waiting for The Man Then suddenly a sound a car is coming scattering the atmosphere forget about the waiting some things more than nothing sun is up and sunny round and round it's running take the moon down for a walk tea and table talk talk Soon the brothers coming they do all the drumming and they're good! The Tailor and the Jew The Poet and The Brewer The Dancing Queen is looking gorgious We are waiting for The Man And if you ever where strong for the game to lose a bit of pride for moments of divine you where tough enough to take whatever came even blame

SHE CAME A LONG WAY 06:33

SHE CAME A LONG WAY She came a long way to find what she needs No more of your master suppression techniques She came a long way to find her way home It sure ain't a mansion but it feels like home She came a long way to find what she needs She don't need to live in your dead end street She came a long way to find her way out where even the white trash loser can feel proud She came a long way to find what she needs No more of your master suppression techniques

MANCHESTER REVISITED 05:13

MANCHESTER REVISITED I drift like a shipwreck helplessly looking for rescuing ships clinging to inflatable hope-gones clinging to your hips waves going high the grip ´round your thigh horizon blue like the story of me and you Anchor me, baby Harbor us, babe Find us the waters that's calm and safe Anchor me, baby Baby, anchor me ! Sometimes strangers treat you right sometimes they give you a glare walking the streets with you, babe really makes me scared try to be strong what's going on future is scorn hope is not yet to be born Where's this road leading do you know? I whisper to myself a new friend gives me a brandy - as if a drink would help streetlights are dim but under my brim visions of you glows like headlight on full Anchor me, baby Harbor us, babe Find us the waters that's calm and safe Anchor me, baby Baby, anchor me !! Too many people here millions it seems don't lose me in this spell too afraid to speak my name loud got no story to tell rolling all right suddenly light lifting me up wishing it never stop Anchor me, baby Harbor us, babe Find us the waters that's calm and safe Anchor me, baby Baby, anchor me ! What goes up sometimes goes on longer than you would believe to fall in your arms would be nice, babe find us a safe retreat get us a boat I'm a sailor, you know a millionaire too, but I spent it looking for you Anchor me, baby Harbor us, babe Find us the waters that's calm and safe Anchor me, baby Baby, anchor me !!! :))

OVERBOARD (live punk version) 04:17
lyrics
buy track
You haven't the slightest idea what it's all about It's just number and figures you keep pushing around If you only where a properly businessman skilled in a craft or a trade but the only thing you do properly is all the grief you make Wrong men in government Wrong people supporting them Throw these people overboard You look at the world as it's something that you righteously own but who is rockin' the boat now where are your followers gone... The passengers getting worried there's mutiny in the air A lifeboat is secretly lowered You can smell the fear Wrong men in government Wrong people supporting them Throw these people overboard I am just a stranger avoided every fight Imagine I was trying to convince myself everything is gonna be all right And standing here blindfolded on my knees a gun to my head I know it will Bang, bang goes the stranger Bang, bang your dead ! Wrong men in government Wrong people supporting them Throw these people overboard credits

GOOD TIMES 05:18
lyrics
buy track
I’ve been down like a child over life it’s a strange kind of laugh-a-like cry I could tell you a lot about how I get on but talking would bring us all down But Good Times are coming for you Good Times are coming for you - but I must warn you and you must know Good Times sure comes slow... I’ve been up I’ve been down On my knees falling hard from more good than I need It's a girl in the shade so desirably made while my time is aging away But Good Times are coming for you Good Times are coming for you - but as I said and you must know Good Times sure comes slow... I get back on my high and repent for the GoodTimes to Stone me again Please forgive me my sin it’s a clockwork within with a vision that Love is for real Good Times are coming for you Good Times are coming for you - but as I said and I must know Good Times sure comes slow...

PapaFahr Trondheim, Norway

He lives by a bootleg philosofy, where atmosphere and soul connection in studio and stage is more important than perfection and equilibrity. Playing on routing and making albums to perfection, where poetry smooth in with overrehearsed cords, is not only a vast of money, but also a vaste of mind. ... more
