ROPE
Here comes the one that broke my heart
And she’s the one that made me cry
And she’s the one that took my soul
She’s the one singing my lullaby
She’s the one I want to love
And she’s the one I want to kiss
And she’s the one I’ve never touched
She’s the one I will never miss
Comb my hair and sleep with me, my true love said to me
She’s the one that laughed at me
And she’s the one that told a lie
And she’s the one that married me
She’s the one that said goodbye
Here comes the one that danced with me
And the other, she broke her word
How could I forget the one whose name
Whose name I’ve never heard
And who‘s the one that‘s lying there? The only one that wasted my time

In My Dreams

In my dreams
In my dreams
No day stops beating
The pound of the drum
Steadily increasing
My eyelids, lashes
Touching, kissing
I wait quietly
Until I stop breathing
All that is left is deeply inside me
Aberration, confusion
And painful illusion
Cremation, intrusion
And bittersweet delusion
Elevation, transfusion
Immediate extrusion
I wait quietly
For my complete dissolution
My sleep like death
Covering me
Like a warm black hand
Smothering me
No more consciousness
Bothering me
I wait quietly
For the other in me

Whalebone
There’re strange people
Calling me day and night
Asking me things
About people I don’t know
There is a strange man
Lying in my bed at night
Wearing suit and tie
Wearing dress shoes and all
Got me a tattoo in a small shop
Above the polar circle
I watched as the winds took me
Smash me into the sea
I talked to a moving green light
In the northern sky
Didn’t see the light of day come round
For more days that you can count
I saw a one eyed man on his wedding day
And he gave me a key cut from a whalebone
I saw a bridge like a giant bow
Spanned across the water
I saw mountains look brand new
Like having just been born
I saw black waves come for me
To kick me into the sky
I sat and talked and ate with friends
Looked into an old dog’s eye

Hello Mr. Bumblebee
How’s the wife today?
Did she get her period
I’m asking, if I may
Hello Mrs Kellerfeldt
How’s your Bill today?
Did he get his tooth pulled out
I’m asking, if I may
And round the corner there‘s a slaugtherhouse
And round the corner there’s a jail
From this here tower he shot 13 men
Why don’t you come and stay?
Hello Reverend Tittenhurst
How’s the parish today?
Can you keep all under wraps
I’m asking, if I may
Hello dear Chief Cunningham
How’s your son today?
Did he have his coming-out
I’m asking, if I may

Animal
Two hands, one body
Two branches, one tree
Two heads, three minds
And all the worlds between
Two wings, one crow
Two crows, one eye
Two wings, one world
See it through your eyes
Come we live under the sea
Under stones, in shells and caves
Breathing water, weightless, inside this
Enormous animal
Two souls, one creature
Two creatures, one heart
One heart, beating
Until the moon is red
Two tongues, one word
One word, the truth
The truth, in the earth
Like this we never die

THE JESUS SONG
When I got up, Jesus had his boots on my table
Rolling a smoke, he said to me
“Listen up, son, you better believe what I say!
I made some coffee, do you like it strong?
And hey, do I smell weed in here?
Every cat and chick I know calls me J.C., by the way!”
“Back in my day I had zip, I had nothing
But the dress on my back, my sandals
And a couple of nails with my name on them!
Them homies couldn’t dig my rap
The whole ole song ’bout Love & Peace
But you know, that’s the shit, to go out and love’em!”
“I had to stage a little show back then
Coz I had to lay low for a little while
I used my influence, my old man and boy, did I blow out of town
Getting out and in again
That was more than them folks at home could take
And I thought, well Adios Muchachos, see y’all round!”
“I really love the sound of a good steel-guitar
A couple of cold ones, prop up the bar
I can really dig a miracle every once in while
I like to hover over lakes
My hairdo, beard and style.”
“Y’know, there’s times I ride the breeze
And when the mood catches me
I catch myself humming old corny songs like good old Hey Jude
Have you ever wondered where Satan’s gone?
I vaporized that li’l pathetic shit
That’s what get’s me, when I’m in the mood!”
And he put on my boots and said to my face
“I like to swap stuff, you c’n have mine
Now I gotta get out of your li’l Louisiana
Grab a car and raise some dust
Put on a real fine country station
And get on home, Sweet Home Alabama!”

What’s for Dinner?
My eyes, my eyes
I can’t see my eyes
My heart, my heart
Can you feel my heart beat?
My blood, my blood
I’m losing too much blood
Candy-wrapped gift shop
Multicoloured mirrors on my hob-nail boots
My thoughts, like clouds
Hanging in the trees
Like sea, like sand
Running from my mouth
Your hands, your hands
Like spiders in my head
Candy-wrapped submarine
Riding in a Lincoln with JFK
When was the last time I was beautiful?
When was the last time you were mine?
When was the last time that my glass was full?
Now it is empty all the time
My babe, my babe
She’s done and brought her gun
My babe, my babe
She gonna shoot me down
Oh Lord, oh Lord
Come take me in your hands
Tin-foil wrapped greyhound bus
Let’s go and find another walrus named Paul

Breathe
Your voice calls me out
Into the reeds and as I
Circle above I can see
That all our dreams have been broken
Your voice calls me out
Into the swamps and as I
Sink underground I can hear
All the words that I have left unspoken
Breathe, your voice calls me out to breathe
Your voice calls me out
Into the the woods and as I
Grow into a tree I can smell
The bitterness of herbs on your breath
Your voice calls me out
Behind the sun and as I
Burn to ashes I can feel
The black and polished peace of death
Your voice calls me out
To the child of god
And as I am still breathing I find
That I had forgotten about it

Between The Trees
Mother, son and holy ghost
And a coffee cup in the sink
There’s no clear view of the coast
Lost in fog, gone as I blink
The morning pill’s a bitter blue
The evening’s is small and white
A pot of gold, a pot of glue
A match, a stick of dynamite
I take hat, coat, walking stick
As I storm out the old front door
Time is running, tick tick tick
Until I can not run no more
Two crows in the blue bowl sky
Three more, there are five
One of them pecked out my eye
Saying nobody leaves this world alive

Sister Jones Linz, Austria
Sister Jones have been strolling nimble-footedly through Austria‘s musical landscape since 2011, dancing deftly between heartbreaking Soul Music and rock-hard, well, Rock‘n‘Roll. Writing and performing music that has been unheard of until today. Grand pop music without mainstream, strong individualism minus too much stubbornness, with lyrics reminding us strongly of Tom Waits and other dark poets. ... more
