Storyteller
(w+m: mats regen)
Enter my plane and I will bring you to Avalon
Turn up the gain and I will write you an artrock song
Today is the day I’m gonna tell you a tale
About the princess Amaze and the love she’s looking for
Enter my space and I will build you a private moon
Your friend’s meeting there in a wild west star saloon
I think today is the day you’ll need to listen to tales
Changing time and place to find a world you’ve seen before
There will be times you’ll need a storyteller
Who takes a rest at your front door
Be prepared, he is a dream sea sailor
And on that sea there are no laws
You’ll gonna hit the stars
You’ll gonna meet the seven dwarfs
You just have to do the start
Enter my train and I will bring you to Neverland
The ticket’s for free and the railway never ends
There ‘ll be no late-news today to blow this moment’s away
The tales are gonna stay and be your friends when you’re alone
There will be times you’ll need a storyteller
To keep your inner child alive
‘cause today’s world prefers the biggest sellers
but selling dreams is not alright
You’ll gonna hit the stars
You’ll gonna meet the seven dwarfs
You just have to do the start
Dream apart
The way is not too far
There comes a time you’ll need a storyteller
Who takes a rest at your front door
Be prepared, he is a dream sea sailor
And on that sea there are no laws
You’ll gonna hit the stars
You’ll gonna meet the seven dwarfs
You just have to do the start

The watcher and the child
(w+m: mats regen)
Deep in the forest between oak tree leaves
There hides a girl who’s still awake when you sleep
Her night is her secret
She floats through the streets
And she watches over her trees
Darling, please don’t forget to pass my house
When eyes are closed, I need someone who can see for me
A watcher to entrust my peace
I’m sure that you once heard her voice singing sweet
Tree’s lullabies that you imagined in your dreams
But I know her secret
and she knows my soul
so she watches over my home
Darling, please don’t forget to sing our song
With opened eyes, you need someone who can dream for you
A child that loves the things you do
To explain it is always wrong
These things are stranger than a song

Spring Snow

spring snow
(w+m: mats regen)
verse 1
spring snow’s an achievement of our present
and our present is more pleasant when we get a cold
kings know how to turn a revolution
and lead the crowd into confusion that makes them clean his roads
bridge 1
when the picture on your own familiar screen’s in a bad quality
take your hand on your receiver
they tell you secrets that you’ll never know
they tell another story
here comes another story show
chorus
the only truth is in your heart
but a scientist has found a key...
no,no-
I’d never trust that story
Create yourself a piece of art
You’ll sell it to your biggest enemies
no,no-
I’d never trust that story
I’d never trust that story show
Verse 2
Old mum pushed a sword into her neighbour
She’d enough of his behaviour and his rotten shoes
The whole class put the blame on little poppit
‘cause she’s a mate of little hobbit and all the other fools
bridge 2
when the jingle to the picture on your screen’s the charming melody
your whole family’s in a fever
await the secrets that they’ll never know
await another story
here comes another story show

(w+m: mats regen)
verse 1
they borrow their sorrows
from newspapers' headlines
but it's not a trust fund
they won't pay them back
verse 2
the devil had travelled
a long way to heaven
but when he arrived
he just saw it was wrecked
bridge 1
and I feel the deal has failed
I'm not the dog who wags his tail for everyone
chorus:
I only dive into another crowd
to get in touch with faces of my town
just for tonight there are some people
who can catch me when I fall
will they catch me when I fall
and wave me away?
verse 3
the skinheads are skinned
but they shout their sad rhymes
their moms are so shocked
but still cook their meals
verse 4
the actor's director's
a serious inspector
the bullets he shoots
in his films were so real
bridge 2
and I feel the deal has failed
I'm not the dog who wags his tail for everything
chorus
I only dive into another crowd
to get in touch with people of your kind
chorus
will you catch me when I fall
and carry me away?

Cows
(w+m: mats regen)
the cows are flying low
their milkflakes fall like snow
and they seem to grow
the spoilsports won the game
a newsman went insane
I forgot his name
I’m losing touch
I’d like to kiss the screens
I’d like to lick a tambourine
I know you changed the winning team
A shortcut is a Watergate
I sleep but I accelerate my car
It seems I’ll come too late
I’m losing touch
I went to face the plague
Full of other late night drags+
Or is it all a fake?
I’m losing touch

spacecake
(w+m: mats regen)
we check our new invention
we've called it space car
its clever built construction's
made to reach the stars
we're lifting off the ground
touching the clouds
drunken angels blaming us
for burning down their towns
hotel room supper waits
but we do not appear
until now noone had noticed we're not there
chorus
mayday!
we're going to sink in a spacecake
our master is leading us into disaster
mummy!
I've got an ache in my tummy
could you leave the light on tonight?
we choose a new direction
it's getting too quiet
we thought to hear a goggle box
that plays good tunes tonight
our map is leading us
into nowhere
we've never seen this place before
of course we do not care
did you see the shooting star
that crawled with elephants?
let's wish we'd never have to go to bed again
chorus

The Only Friend

The only friend
(w+m: mats regen)
Hey!
Where have you been today?
You did not come out to play
My road it seems so silent now
Without your breathless voice
You never talk to people
But they always talk ‘bout you
Maybe you’re afraid of them
And ran away from here
You have got an unusual face
Act in unusual ways
Ran up and down the street
Without any person to meet
‘cause Ché’s your only friend
Hey!
I remember yesterday
When all the people stood and stared
At you sitting on the kerb stone’s edge
Crying out a lot of tears
I know that I am not to blame
But I can’t help it, feel ashamed
That I didn’t understand a word
Of all the things he screamed
he has got an unusual face
Acts in unusual ways
Ran up and down the street
But there was no person to meet
‘cause Ché’s his only friend
I’d like to see him run again
His laughter sounds so innocent
I’d like to hear him laugh again
Now only engine’s noise out there
All the silence leaves me scared
I’ve lost a piece of home today
I hope his friend will care ‘bout him

our blanket skies Germany
some years ago this odd but gentle troubadour and storyteller who is aka "our blanket skies" went out for a long walk and didn't even write a postcard. For once he wrote a few new tunes in the meanwhile and is looking forward to present them to you as soon as he's finished the dishes. ... more
