2018 - POETIC THOUGHTS
With deep love from my Golden Cage
Poetic thoughts – no more, no less
A past life – let us turn the page
With deep love from my Golden Cage
Once I was young but grew in age
From happiness to inner stress
With deep love from my Golden Cage
Poetic thoughts – no more, no less
THE NINETIES
In many ways it was a very interesting decade that has brought all of us a lot of wealth and progress. Personal Computers became affordable for everybody, the internet connected us to people from all over the world and introduced us to every available information, Social Media platforms began to fill the emptiness of our lives and we should not forget even the most beneficial invention of all times started during the nineties: our mobile phone – just a cable free phone at the beginning and meanwhile a small smart portable computer from which our modern life and welfare depends on for it opens us doors to still unknown freedoms.
This last decade of the century also had a lot of different musical possibilities to offer that we don’t want to miss nowadays. The rise and fall of unnumbered boy-bands and girl-groups like Take That, Backstreet Boys and the Spice Girls bewitched our feelings; the first rappers made Hip-Hop chart-friendly, created bad boy heroes which annoyed our parents; techno, rave and house music united the thrilled youth on the dance-floors all over the world.
Janet Jackson brought us more or less radio-friendly sexual beats for the ears, Whitney Houston enlightened us with one of the most successful movie soundtracks of history and we could watch her fall from grace and predicted her doom; Michael Jackson made us face the dark side of wealth, before he got lost in a world of scandals and two unsuccessful marriages, nevertheless he rewarded – or cursed, depends on our views – us with three successful records and the news about his fatherhood.
Not only the music industry created one new trend after another, the film industries did the same, especially Hollywood compulsively changed which led to new unimaginable TV and movie experiences. Series and blockbusters were produced, more expensive and more extravagantly than ever before. The film companies started in the digital age. Movies like Titanic, Jurassic Park, Schindler’s List and the beginning of the Star Wars franchise first three episodes documented this progress. At the same time the TV shows and series changed the society. Sexual temptation was no more a taboo, thanks to Baywatch (for example) and more and more people gathered together to watch reality talk shows as well as the return of the Star Trek franchise.
Everything got more realistic and influenced our lives as never before – at least as far as I can give an opinion on it. Of course I cannot say how the decades before worked for those who experienced them. I know the Eighties and the last years of the Seventies because I was there, but still too young to recognize how those decades might have influenced me and all the other ‘survivors’. However, I do remember the Nineties.
May it has been the internet, the media news or whatever, we suddenly got aware of many problems and diseases. We started our mission to ‘heal the world’, to make our planet get a better place to live. We stood together as one world when the two German nations united, when the cold war broke away from our daily life; we laughed out loud when the President of the United States of America almost fell from grace thanks to a sexual affair he had in the Oval Office. In many states around the world homosexuality became legal and human rights spread out to women rights and children’s rights. The world changed to the better.
Certainly not everything was good, it never is, however the negative events of this decade has not settled permanently in my mind. I still can remember the devastating Earthquake in Los Angeles, 1994, or the burning Asylum Homes in different German cities, 1991. Apart of those small negative experiences, the worst should come after the decade ended. During the Nineties the world was still good!
2016 - With LOVE from the GOLDEN CAGE
(Version 1)
Sent with love from a golden cage
The mind of someone underage
From a boy with a loving heart
Who’s longing for his skills to start
No acting in film or on stage
But his words will cover your page
Intelligent and perhaps smart
From the golden cage…
One day he left his home in rage
To escape what should have been his stage
He tried all to find his own part
May it be easy or damn hard
Adventurous life fills the page
Sent with love from the golden cage
(Version 2)
Family values
Forced into an unloved life
No chance to break out
They chose, they decided
What my life would be about
They locked me inside
They said it’s the best for me
‘Cause I’m underage
Sad will be my words, but sent
With love from his golden cage
(Version 3)
They tried to prepare me for entering the stage
Gave me no choice, trained me from a very young age
I fought in despair, I fought day in, day out
My skills are given with love from the golden cage
Parents can be cruel, they had made their decision
It doesn’t matter that they woke up hateful rage
They never understood what my rage was about
And my future would never be on their stage
However, I managed my path with precision
My skills are given with love from the golden cage
Forgotten the times where we all fought very loud
My skills are given with love from the golden cage
1992 - PARADISE FOR EVERYONE
It is winter now
And everywhere is snow
Children are building snowmen
Christmas Eve in front of the door
A Christmas tree is covering the floor
And the children are excited
Merry Christmas and a happy new year
May be peace and freedom be everywhere
Let there be paradise for everyone
1992 - AROUND THE WORLD
Around the world
Let me fly with you that’s all I wanna do
Around the world with you
Let me go with you that’s all I wanna do
Around the wild wide world with you
Around the world
To see new places that’s all I wanna do
Around the world with you
To meet new faces that’s all I wanna do
Around the wild wide world with you
1992 - GHOST SHOW DANCE
(Ghost Story, unfinished musical)
Little ghosts are dancing everywhere
Because the big band’s playing there
Ghost-Show-Dance
Little ghosts are running in the hall
And they’re dancing through the wall
Ghost-Show-Dance
Ghost kids are happy
Ghost kids act sappy
Bring joy to every party
The big ghosts aren’t dancing everywhere
They prefer sitting around there
Ghost-Show-Dance
The big ghosts are dancing in the hall
Or resting up on the wall
Ghost-Show-Dance
Ghost kids are happy
Ghost kids act sappy
Bring joy to every party
1992 - WAKE UP! STAND UP!
(Ghost Story, unfinished musical)
Wake up! Wake up
Come on, start your show
You, there in the bed
Stand up, stand up
Come on, stand up now
The sun is shining
And the moon is gone
A new day has won
Outside in the burning sun
You can have much more fun
Well…
Wake up! Wake up
Come on, start your show
You, there in the bed
Stand up, stand up
Come on, stand up now
1992 - ROCK ME DUCK
Well you were down in the jungle club
Sweet atmosphere in that heartbreak pub
You asked me if I would dance with you
I said yes and put your hand on mine
There was nothing else to do
And so we danced the whole time
We wanna rock, we wanna roll
We wanna rock and roll
Rock, rock, rock me duck
Roll, roll, roll me duck
You are the rock and roll duck
She held my hand and told me her name
Daisy like the girlfriend of my comic star
Until midnight we were hot like a flame
And the burning adventure wasn’t far
We both had crazy feeling and couldn’t see
That was made only for you and me, baby
We wanna rock, we wanna roll
We wanna rock and roll
Rock, rock, rock me duck
Roll, roll, roll me duck
You are the rock and roll duck
1992 - HELLO I LOVE YOU
Hello, I love you, do you love me too
Will you stay with me and be my baby
Hello, I love you more than my life
And would like to marry you, baby
Tell me, will you become my wife
Because I love you endlessly
Hello, I love you more than a pearl
And would love to make love to you, baby
Would you like to have a boy or girl
Because I love you endlessly
Hello, I love you I wanna scream
So darling will you marry me tomorrow
You in white, me in black, what a dream
Don’t look back; we are out of the sorrow
1992 - GOODBYE
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye my friend
Here in this land I sing this song to wish you goodbye
Our lives have to go on and on, my friend
This time with you had been so wonderful
And I hope we can see each other again
This goodbye is breaking my heart
Please, don’t forget my name
This goodbye is nothing but pain
Please, never forget me
Now I have to walk away
But with me, you have a home forever
You gave me a meal, a drink, a bay
So that I’ll never forget you
This goodbye is breaking my heart
Please, don’t forget my name
This goodbye is nothing but pain
Please, never forget me
I wish you every luck in this world
You made my life complete
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye my friend
My luck conquers your need
1993 - CHRISTMAS WITH YOU
Christmas is a wonderful time
Children are learning their rhyme
The calendar hangs on the wall
On the street we’re greeting all
And children build snowmen
It’s time for the lord and his fans
Tall and small are fighting with snowballs
And children are writing their wish letter
So summer time cannot be better
When the winter is sunny
Everybody will be funny
And feels oh so good
Because the day of god
The white city looks true
It’s Christmas with you
Christmas with you
Everybody is excited and works hard
Christmas time is the time of love in our hearts
We have to clean our home
And nobody would like to be alone
When outside is a wild snowstorm
We will cook our cookies in a Christmas form
When the winter is sunny
Everybody will be funny
And feels oh so good
Because the day of god.
The white city looks true
It’s Christmas with you
Christmas with you
It’s Christmas with you
How do you do
It’s Christmas with you
And I love you
It’s Christmas with you
Just Christmas with you
When the winter is sunny
Everybody will be funny
And feels oh so good
Because the day of god.
The white city looks true
It’s Christmas with you
Christmas with you
1993 - FATHER CHRISTMAS
It was Christmas in our town
A December where we had snow
And the candles were burning down
Poems children had to know
A white Christmas time
And a knocking on our front door
A view on the watch
And then she went across the floor
She opened and shouted for me
Her mouth wide open and a scream was free
Oh honey, stop shouting loud
Father Christmas is me
Without an angle team
Father Christmas is me
You see me in disguise
Father Christmas is me
Everything is all right
Father Christmas is there
I said in care
Billy was in his own room
And couldn’t stop his dream
‘Cause the time was gone too soon
So he couldn’t hear her scream
Smiling, I went in
And my wife fetched our young son
Christmas should begin
With the heavenly Christian fun
Billy came and began to cry
This three year old boy was too shy
Oh babe you must not cry
Father Christmas is me
I’m your dad, don’t be shy
Father Christmas is me
You see me in disguise
Father Christmas is me
Everything is all right
Father Christmas is there
I said in care
I put off my red disguise
And Billy saw his dad
And got his first big surprise
This eve no one was sad
The Christmas show was fantastic
But suddenly
A voice whispered through the attic
Remember Father Christmas is me
1993 - MICHELLE MY LOVE
Michelle, my love, you’re just too much
All night long, we couldn’t get enough
She was the best girl, a real treasure
For a lonely boy under pressure
Oh Michelle my love
With a throbbing heart we met for a special night
And the porter gave us our key, you hold me tight
Like two monkeys we danced happily through the room
Where you bewitched my heart, but it was gone too soon
What a feeling warmed my loving heart
Never wanna live apart, may our flame always start
Michelle, my love, you’re just too much
All night long, we couldn’t get enough
She was the best girl, a real treasure
For a lonely boy under pressure
Oh Michelle my love
You asked me soon, darling can we two go to bed
But I only said, honey, I won’t love you yet
With a throbbing heart, I watched your Daddies’ daughter
Later that night I learned you were the best ever
The best ship to sail along the seven waters
I will never let you go, we are forever
Michelle, my love, you’re just too much
All night long, we couldn’t get enough
She was the best girl, a real treasure
For a lonely boy under pressure
Oh Michelle my love
1993 - BACK TO SCOTLAND
He wanna go, he wanna go
He wanna go back to Scotland
He was born in a little town
Where the angels looked down
He was born in a little town
Where they had an auld playground
He has a desire far, far away
His flame is burning there
He’s dreaming himself back, every day
To live his exciting life there
Come on girls and lads
Come on lads and girls
Come on everybody
Let’s go back to Scotland
He wanna go, he wanna go
He wanna go back to Scotland
He likes the smell in the air
Fair Scotland – his home
Everybody is kind and fair
And no-one is all alone
Come on, my dear friend
Come back to Scotland
Come on everybody
You and me, back to Scotland
(Dedicated to my Scottish grandfather)
1993 - FELIX BAD BIG ROCK SHOW
Felix bad big rock show
And everybody says wow
It is like in our purple dream
It’s no good I wanna scream
Because it’s no good, it’s no good
You know it’s no good, no good and you know it
Come on, it’s no good, it’s no good
You know it’s no good, no good and you know it
Felix bad big rock show
Where everybody can dance
But they only play House now
So that I cannot stand a chance
To burn the dance-floor out
Because the sound ain’t loud
Because it’s no good, it’s no good
You know it’s no good, no good and you know it
Come on, it’s no good, it’s no good
You know it’s no good, no good and you know it
Felix bad big rock show
We don’t wanna gotta know
Although the kids inside are glad
But this drumming shit makes me mad
Because it’s no good, it’s no good
You know it’s no good, no good and you know it
Come on, it’s no good, it’s no good
You know it’s no good, no good and you know it
1993 - TOMORROW
Go in your warm bed and close your eyes
Dream about the sun and the blue sky
Tomorrow you can tell me your dream
And we can go out, eat an ice-cream
So boy, be kind and sleep now
Sleep until the sun wakes you
Tomorrow is a new day for us, babe
And I promise you I won’t come late
Tomorrow you get your pocket-money
And a toast with your favorite honey
Take your teddy bear in your arm
Hold him tight, hold him warm
At the weekend I will be your teddy
So boy, give a kiss to your loving daddy
1993 - BILLY JEAN
I went through the pet shop
And I looked for a new job
When I saw it in its cage
I saw its sweet black skin
Suddenly a fat man came in
And I told him that I wanna buy it
Billy Jean, is not a game
Billy Jean, is its name
Billy Jean calls my little cat
Billy Jean, is not a game
Billy Jean, is its name
Billy Jean calls my funny cat
Every day we could play together
And we became friends forever
It always travelled with me
Having each other’ll set us free
When it screamed
I knew, what it meant
Billy Jean, is not a game
Billy Jean, is its name
Billy Jean calls my little cat
Billy Jean, is not a game
Billy Jean, is its name
Billy Jean calls my funny cat
1993 - WE ARE YOUNG
You made me act like a monkey
When I saw your face I got blush
For you I wanna spend my hard earned money
When you call my name I will rush!
I asked my daddy a lot of questions about you
And now I don’t know what shall I do
We are young and really shy
Every night our tears cannot dry
We are young and all alone
When we’re wasting our days at home
We are young and love us
We are young and restless now
Every night we have our secret show
We are young and out of time
One day our glory will shine
We are young and tease us
With your flying hair, when you came to town
You bewitched my heart so that I’ve to look down
Without you I’m standing short before a heart attack
I take my power out of your eyes, chocolate black.
I asked my daddy a lot of questions about you
And now I don’t know what shall I do
We are young and wanna leave
Our childhood to become our own police
We are young and out to live
Trying to find our own sweet bliss
We are young and love us
We are young and wanna love
Because our parents can’t give us enough
We are young and out to thrill
Someday we will say loud: Yes, I will
We are young and tease us
1993 - WHO WAS IT?
Who found my love
Who found my heart
Who has stolen my baby
It’s not crazy
Who found my love
Who found my heart
Who has stolen my baby
It’s not crazy
The picture still hangs on the wall
Close to the stars of football
She was my rose, my loving ghost
And now my heart is closed
She was my joy and I’m here toy
Like every other boy
I left my room to find my doom
And when I returned with the moon
This picture was gone
I looked up and down, everywhere
But I couldn’t find it anywhere
Now this picture is gone
Where is it? - Is it under the bed
Or behind the roses of red
Who was it? – Is it my brother
Or one of her other lovers
Where is it? - Is it in our car
Hidden behind the silver star
Who was it? –Is it my friend
Or a guy from another land
Who found my love
Who found my heart
Who has stolen my baby
It’s not crazy
Who found my love
Who found my heart
Who has stolen my baby
It’s not crazy
I cannot go home to my little room
Without this picture it will be my doom
I cannot go home because I am alone
And my parents have two hearts of stone
I have to find this picture of my bliss
Because I never stopped loving this miss
Where is it? –Is it behind the wall
Hidden behind the dusty football
Who was it? –Is it my classmate
Or a guy from a higher grade
Where is it? – Is it in the bathroom
Or in the pocket of her new groom
Who was it? - Is it my father
Or my stupid hating mother
Who found my love
Who found my heart
Who has stolen my baby
It’s not crazy
Who found my love
Who found my heart
Who has stolen my baby
It’s not crazy
1993 - MAIS OUI MON AMI
Jean, we spoke with each other
And you told me about your love
That’s how I became your lover
And now we are living above
I said, mais oui mon ami
Je dit, mais oui mon ami
You were the mate of a friend
And born in a neighboring land
German you couldn’t understand
But you took me by your hand
I said, mais oui mon ami
Je dit, mais oui mon ami
Nous somme gaie enfants
And now we’re feeling like rich lords
Tu as un pere, mais non frere
But you knew our time will be short
I said, mais oui mon ami
Je dit, mais oui mon ami
Jean, tu est mon ami
Je veux dire – oui, oui
Jean, my dearest friend
I hardly understand
1993 - JEAN DARLING
Do you wanna sleep with me, Jean Darling
Do you let me feel your body, Jean Darling
You are my greatest desire, Jean Darling
And our love is burning like fire, Jean Darling
Let me feel your body tonight
I love you oh so right

But we are more than friends
The sun is shining for you
And we can do everything together
Don’t walk away forever,
Cannot understand what I do

To live alone in our own home

Let’s make our love come true, Jean Darling
Everything we can do, Jean Darling

And there will never be another part
I need you tonight and forever
I don’t let you go, no, no, never
I love your black hair, you’re always fair
And you’re very wild with the heart of a child
So can you hear what I do
Sweet honey, I deeply love you
I’ve heard that you are alone, Jean Darling
Come on, let us build up our home, Jean Darling
Let’s make our love come true, Jean Darling
Everything we can do, Jean Darling

1993 - MY DADDY IS A GHOST
(Ghost Story, unfinished musical)
My Daddy is a ghost
And his small house was closed
I really loved my father
Although he married my mother
And I am his son
So we had much fun
He was always in care
And almost always fair
My Daddy built his own bay
While he worked in the USA
But I know that he loves me
Something you cannot see
So many people couldn’t understand
Why he was travelling from land to land
He’s always there in my pain
And give trust a real ghost name
1993 - TRUE FRIENDSHIP CANNOT DIE
We can laugh with each other
And make our jokes
Our friendship’s important
We are there for each other
And share our hopes
Our friendship won’t die
Because true friendship cannot die
Friends have to like each other
Friends are a bit like lovers
A friendship’s important
A whole life they spend together
Without friends, we can’t live forever
When your heart is good and fine
And you will like to give a lot of time
Your friendship won’t die
Because true friendship cannot die
1993 - THE WHOLE HEALING WORLD
Animals are no more dying
And mothers aren’t crying
Everybody loves everyone
And everybody needs everyone
Children can play on playgrounds
And that ain’t dangerous
The rainforest can live forever
We can write positive history together
Yet, we can’t always have joy
During the week I see working boys
Nobody tries to kill the world, never
So let me dream this dream forever
It is the whole healing world
To say thank you to God
We are wondering why
Just nobody can cry
Nobody wanna die
It’s the whole healing world
To say thank you to God
Try to make this a better place
For the entire human race
This is the world of my dreams
We all have to make the world get clean
We all need air to breath
So show the pollution your teeth
We all need Mother Earth
However, Mother Earth doesn’t need us
It is the whole healing world
To say thank you to God
We are wondering why
Just nobody can cry
Nobody wanna die
It’s the whole healing world
To say thank you to God
Try to make this a better place
For the entire human race
1993 - LOVE WITH YOU
When I saw you standing there
I felt love was coming over me
Would like to touch your flying hair
Kiss your smiling face
Enjoying the summer sun,
What a fun
This is love, love forever
Forever with you
This is love, love with you
Forever with you
My heart was throbbing oh so wild
When I spoke to your Daddy’s best child
This is love, love forever
Forever with you
This is love, love with you
Forever with you
1993 - THE MIDNIGHT SHOW
Everybody’s watching TV
From England to Germany
Every night they call the number
And then they will get their…
Sex and sun
Girls and fun
Men like stars
They drive it very far
In the midnight show
Sex and sun
Boys and fun
Girls as queens
What a hot dream
In the midnight show
It’s beginning right now
Hey man, come and see
How she’s gonna love me
She’s wild and gives me head
An hour later she makes me sad
Sex and sun
Girls and fun
Men like stars
They drive it very far
In the midnight show
Sex and sun
Boys and fun
Girls as queens
What a hot dream
In the midnight show
It’s beginning right now
1993 - I HATE SEX
My lovely girl is bad
And her hair is red
She cannot love me
But I want her, can’t you see
She’s hating me
I wanna make love with you
But I won’t do so now, sorry
That’s why I sleep all alone
Because she’s not here with me
I won’t make love now
Because I can’t do it in your show
If you want, you can visit Rex
Because he really loves burning sex
But remember I love you so much
And together we really could live above
Do you remember the time
When you had been mine
I hate sex, I hate Rex
I hate everything, so let me sing
I hate sex, I hate Rex
I hate everything what future may bring
