1.0 Jack is not a Ripper

jack is not a ripper, 

jack only goes crazy from time to time, 

takes a girl home 

and doesn't bring her away anymore, 

his garden is big, 

he is constantly working on it

the girl are always beautiful 

and from a bar out of town, 

jack thinks about 

just being friendly 

and bringing a girl home after the date

but his desire to let them

fall asleep and to bury

them in the garden is bigger

jack is not a ripper

jack is a sleeper

wakes up to play at night

2.0 Seven Days Sunday

seven days sunday 

go through laugh together 

with food and good wine

we have to do other things 

just leave be seven days on sunday 

we both together 

both of us alone 

at eat and good wine 

infant just leave 

be seven days on sunday 

stay in bed 

rarely get up unless 

you have to get out to smoke 

or because we're hungry 

to get let's go 

through be together 

celebrate seven days on sunday 

just you and me 

the two of us alone

3.0 Through my Veins ( with Sua Tamkin)

(Harvey)

through my veins

you shoot through

see you up in my heart    and stuck you there    get it out of sync    times one two three    times two three one    through my veins    through me

(Sua)

i breathe you in

close my eyes    and breathe out    hear what you say    and spread my arms    hold on tight    don't let go    find me again    in happiness and colors    my heart is leaping    it jumps pretty high    my veins are through and through    with love from you

(Harvey)

through my veins

you shoot through    see you up in my heart    and stuck you there    get it out of sync    times one two three    times two three one    through my veins    through me

(Sua)

through my veins

my heart and mind     you get stuck     in everything I have

through my veins

my heart and mind     you pull through     through everything in me

4.0 One Step too Far

i still drink the same, 

i still sit in the bar on the same days 

and wait for you

i‘m with you 

i want to find love 

when you come through the door

it’s one step too far

but its love 

with you i feel everything that was missing, 

i am still sitting here waiting 

and i drink the same as always, 

you wrote you are coming

it’s always one step too far 

but i‘ve been waiting

5.0 Ugly

how I miss you

sometimes more than usual

miss the sunday cake

miss the child being with grandma

it's ugly without you

so ugly without you

ugly ugly

today you would be 90

probably still there

sunday cake

and prostheses made of glass

it is ugly without you

so ugly without you

ugly ugly
