about

Album "WWI - The World, The Women & I - Blues"

recorded, mixed & produced by Philipp Selisky

lyrics

Trying to quench her thirst for a pale blue night
She takes a stroll to the bleak, bleak countryside
Against her wish a sickly moon just stood and watched and grinned

Taken aback
By the length of the track
Sorely in need
Of a change of luck

She shook
Just like a leaf
In a breeze
Blowin’
So much harder
Than it seemed

And if the lack of love in the face of most
Don’t vanish soon
Well she vowed to the clowns of worries and frowns in time
To ever be blue

Not the gay and merry
But those who muse
As an ancient art
Know the tremble when she starts

To shake
Just like a leaf
In a breeze
Blowin’
The stitches
Straight from her seams

And the fear and affliction of lacking direction
And having to beggar smiles from stranger’s eyes
Well it made her a sheep and she lost her peace
Before she learned to roll the dice

As she chanced
To try her luck
As an agent
Of wondrous lust

She shook
Just like a leaf
In a tempestuous breeze
Blowin’
Her a lot of
Sweeter things
Than she’d dreamed
