Meltdown These empires of sleazy greed Brutality from authority Violence from heaven puts science in hell On the payroll, what did you sell If your asking me Your power breeds corruption and lies You ain’t selling me Your thoughts and prayers are just a disguise Meltdown The world has lost control again Breakdown Gotta’ break the chains again All wrapped up in your good deeds While all around you are on their knees Taking your truth from the gods in the skies As politicians tell their lies If your asking me Your power breeds corruption and lies You ain’t selling me Your thoughts and prayers are just a disguise Meltdown The world has lost control again Breakdown Gotta’ break the chains again Sometimes All we need is the air that we breathe Sometimes All we breathe is not what we need Your words, hollow Like sheep, follow The sounds, echo Your thoughts, shallow Meltdown The world has lost control again Breakdown Gotta’ break the chains again Can’t keep us down Re-wire the world Can’t drag us down Re-start the world Sometimes All we need is the air that we breathe Sometimes All we breathe is not what we need

Break Free If I could sow the seeds and make things happen Try and do some good If I could steal the keys, unlock the shackles Better bet I would And when I wish upon the stars and heavens Dreaming through me Through me, dreaming through me Dreaming through me Don’t, let it all burn down We can’t, just stand aside The world’s around you Let the wind blow though your hair Let go the ropes you are holding Break the chains and go spread your wings Not by the numbers Somewhere in-between You have the keys So go break free If I could show you things that you’ve been missing Not the bitter pill If I could rub the lamp and steal the genie Run away with me If I could make a wish upon the night sky Dreaming through me Through me, dreaming through me Dreaming through me Don’t, let it all burn down We can’t, just stand aside The world’s around you Let the wind blow though your hair Let go the ropes you are holding Break the chains and go spread your wings Not by the numbers Somewhere in-between You have the keys So go break free The world’s around you Let the wind blow though your hair Let go the ropes you are holding Break the chains and go spread your wings Not by the numbers Somewhere in-between You have the keys So go break free The world’s around you Let the wind blow though your hair Let go the ropes you are holding Break the chains and go spread your wings Not by the numbers Somewhere in-between You have the keys So go break free

Without You Without You Without You You never know which way the wind blows You never know which way that it could go I never thought the stupid games we played Could ever make our lives turn this way And in a dream I dreamt about you Such a good dream wish everything rang true And now that you have slipped right through my hands The hour glass has run right out of sand I can’t just turn back time I count the days go by Without You Without You I can’t just turn the tide I can’t enjoy enjoy the ride Without You Without You You never know when trouble comes your way You never know what’s in store today And now I stand and watch the rain fall Ask myself why I’m waiting for your call So they tell you so they say Everyone’s got games to play Wishing something, wishing dear Something strikes me when you’re near I can’t just turn back time I count the days go by Without You Without You I can’t just turn the tide I can’t enjoy enjoy the ride Without You Without You You never know which way the wind blows You never know which way that it could go I never thought the stupid games we played Could ever make our lives turn this way Without You

about

This album is a collection of songs I’ve written, some more recently and some that go back a number of years. In fact, a few were rejected by former colleagues and I was promptly shown the door for having ‘ideas above my station’. In hindsight, probably rightly so.
Being ‘shown the door’ or ’fired’ seems to come up a lot in my checkered journey though music. Asked to leave Nitzer Ebb after a number of years for not being much of a jazz drummer and having ideas that weren’t up to the standard of their legendary last album for Mute I then fired myself from the band I briefly formed afterwards, Shining, as, well, it was a bit crap. Moving on, I was never asked back to Die Krupps for being a drunken twat and trying to drive their tour bus somewhat ‘under the influence’. Later, I was politely rejected from both C-Tec and Cubanate before finally being kicked out of D.Kay.com for not being German.
Anyway, that said, water under the jolly old bridge as they say. Having managed to forge a career in all things audio related for most of my life and even though there have been quite a few questionable remixes / projects with my name attached to them and an awful lot of dodgy reality tv music (the former largely being quite forgettable and the latter I refuse to be ashamed of as the $$ are good), I thought it was time to put together an album of some of the songs that I’ve written and commit them to a release of sorts.
As I’m such a terrible singer, I decided to have some rather talented ladies (to whom I am eternally grateful) sing them for me, hence the title of this album, “Girly”.
I wrote and played most of the album, although I am thankful to Dean Garcia for adding bass and Melissa Evila, Steve White, Jamison Boaz and Moonhead for taking some of my poorly played guitars and making them sound a lot better. There may be a part two to this experiment as I have a lot of songs that simply would not fit on this release, so you have been warned.
In terms of additional thanks etc… if I’m honest, like everyone I’m sure, there are a few people I’d like to be extremely unpleasant to, both professionally and personally, but many, many more to whom I would like to say how grateful I am for their support and ongoing friendship over the years. However, I won’t do an enormous list at this juncture.
Even though, lyrically, this project is not particularly about animals (although a couple are, along with my distain for religion in general, the environment, stupid people, politicians and lost loves), I thought I would dedicate it to all the animals in the world that suffer needlessly and cruelly at the hands of a ‘so called’ civilized species. Humans are total cunts.

All that said, thanks for taking a gander.

Namaste Mother Fuckers :)
