BUSKING IN BERLIN (a lyric)
Storm clouds on the horizon,
No red sky tonight,
The wind blows away the magic,
Of a starry, starry night.
Melissa cries for Candy,
Candy dreams of John,
John is suicidal,
On how it all went wrong.
Larry plays the old guitar,
Kate the mandolin,
And Finn plays the accordion,
They’re busking in Berlin.
It’s a game of names and fortunes,
A game played out in time,
A game of life that ends in death,
A mountain we must climb.
And John’s looking out for Sally,
Candy’s dreaming on,
Melissa took an overdose,
She does not belong here.
Larry plays the old guitar,
Kate the mandolin,
And Finn plays the accordion,
They’re busking in Berlin.
Candy is the blinkered one,
John has the broken heart,
Larry’s getting on with life,
Melissa fell apart – she fell apart, she fell apart
Finn, she won a battle,
Kate, she lost a war,
Candy is still dreaming of,
What are we fighting for?
Storm clouds on the horizon,
No red sky tonight,
The wind blows away the magic,
Of a starry, starry night.
Larry plays the old guitar,
Kate the mandolin,
And Finn plays the accordion,
They’re busking in Berlin, they’re busking in Berlin.
This is another older song I’ve just added to the ZOOLON AUDIO SoundCloud page (I’ve loads more to add over the coming weeks). Busking in Berlin is a simple acoustic demo; after this I’ll post more electronic stuff. Anyway, most people seem to like this one. Here is the link so you can listen if you want;

I found your piece rather interesting.
Just an old acoustic number. Haven’t a clue how the lyric came to be
wonderful! a big thumbs up! wht does “blinkered” mean?
Thanks. ‘Blinkered’ means, not facing the truth in a situation. Sometimes I think we are all guilty of that. Not me of course!
I’m totally blinkered then. 🙂 Hope you are having a great day!
Horrible day. My website collapsed but I’ve cured it now. The flash widget I was playing with cost me customers but thanks for the sentiment. Trust your day is better than mine.
Wishing you a great evening and a better day tomorrow. All is well here!
Intriguing music line: sad, reflective. I read the lyric first, and kept thinking of Peter Gabriel’s “World without Frontiers,” which I think put a certain melody in my head, so upon hearing yours my brain keeps going, “Hang on, that’s not Gabriel!”
So my brain has put you on the same level as Peter Gabriel. Hope you don’t mind. 🙂
The link wouldn’t work but I know the song from car journeys to holiday places when I was a kid. ‘Adolf builts a bonfire, Enrico plays with it’ stayed in my mind. Scary line.
It is indeed.
