..."Being well paid for what you enjoy doing is very nice of course, a luxury that seems to elude most of us, but even this aspect started to frustrate me. On the one hand I saw it was a kind of recompense for all the times back in the eighties that we´d played sold-out tours and never been paid a penny. On te other hand, back then we´d always been cynical about capitalising on our talent at the expense of our art. Admittedly, we were younger, more idealistic and so perhaps we could afford ourselves such pretensions, but part of our reputation had been based on the idea that despite our massive potential, we´d never sold ourselves out to achieve mass popularity or taken the easy money. Ultimately, this was one element I´d been proud of, that we´d taken such an independent and forceful stance when it came to controlling our art..."

..."As I fell, fell to the ground
My head swam around and around
And I didn´t know
wich way was up or down
Hey... one cold grey afternoon
A part of me parted, parted too soon
I touched the Moon
I don´t know what to say..."

"One cold damp evening
The world stood still
I watched as i held my breath
A sillhouette i thought i knew
Came through,someone spoke to me
Whispered in my ear
This fantasy's for you
Fantasy's are in this year
My whole life flashed,before my eyes
I thought,what they say is true
I've shed my skin,and my disguise
And cold on the naked eye
Emerged from my cocoon
And a half remebered tune played softly in my head
He said
He turns smiling...and said
I realise a miracle,is due
I dedicate this melody,to you..."

*****************************************************
I CAN´T ESCAPE MYSELF...

So many feelings
pent up in here
left alone, I´m with
the one I most fear.
I´m sick and I´m tired
of reasoning;
just want to break out,
shake off this skin...
I
I can´t
escape myself.

All my problems
loom larger than life
I can´t swallow
another slice.

Seems like my shadow
mocks every stride.
Can I learn to live with
what´s trapped inside????
