Lucky Seven 03:24
lyrics
buy track
When I was a little boy And music came to my world It gave me a lot of joy The thoughts in my mind unfurled I wanted to play each song And maybe I'd be a star It didn't take very long To get me my first guitar Lucky Seven They called it Lucky Seven I was just eleven I played my Lucky Seven Feeling like I was in heaven I listened to my radio To find something that was cool Knocked out by that audio That came out of Liverpool Lucky Seven …. I joined an electric band And learned how to play the bass And soon I did understand I'd come to the right place Lucky Seven …. Lucky Seven …. Lucky Seven Lucky Seven

My Kind of Art 05:58
lyrics

I'm hopelessly out-dated Way out of fashion But this is my kind of art This is my kind of art I don't expect that everyone will like my song And I don't think that everyone will sing along But that's the way I do it I don't expect that you're in my community But I'll be glad if you will prove me wrong I don't expect that everyone will be my fan And I don't think that everyone knows what I can But that's the way I do it I don't expect you'll understand my messages But I'll be glad if I'm not your bogeyman I'm hopelessly out-dated ... Does it have hit potential Are the kids gonna like it Is it radio ready How would I know It's just my kind of art How would I know It's just my kind of art I don't expect that everyone will notice me And I don't think that everyone would want to see But that's the way I do it I don't expect that people will not disagree But I'll be glad if you will let me be I'm hopelessly out-dated ... Does it have hit potential … Does it have hit potential … How would I know It's just my kind of art How would I know It's just my kind of art

Everyone`s throwin` dogs at me I`m a man Everyone`s shooting down their ladies Into the toilet Don`tcha know I`m a man And I`m evil in mind On the door Going on board on the Fleetwood Mac All on board Driving the road in a Tiger Jack On the road And I´m a man a man A lonely bulldog`s eye-man (solo) Everyone`s diving in my thumb I`m a man Everyone`s op`ning down Their northern crying berries Don`tcha know I`m a man And I`m evil in mind Evil in mind

Please won`t you carry me wife now She`s lying on the floor Take her to the burial contractor `cos she`s not so living anymore I think she`s dead She didn`t answer what I said Please won`t you carry me wife now I hit her with a chair There are flies all over her head now And it`s smelling everywhere There`s something wrong Gotta find out before long If you don`t do it The same`s gonna happen to you So carry me wife to the graveyard That`s the only thing you`ve gotta do I don`t think it`s too hard So please won`t you carry me wife now She`s lying on … Please won`t you carry me wife now I hit her with a … Gotta find out before long

Pick Out the Best Bits 07:02

How did Marx get his fee Did he plant it in a tree And Howard Hughes where was he Did he know what was due to be Let me know about money hustlers laid-backs I wanna hear about Tories Labour Whatever is their name I`m asking how do you pick out the best bits yeah How can you tell what is right or wrong yeah How do you pick out the best bits yeah How can you tell what is right or wrong yeah How do Jew spell your name Is Christianity in sane Does Buddha go with you in the game Did Mohammed do it all in vain Won`t you tell me `bout Krishna Mormon Hindu I wanna hear about Rasta Baptism Or any religion at all I`m asking how do you pick … Let`s hear about salvation starvation frustration Reputation emulation dissipation Peas on earth And all of you may kiss your ass And I don`t care `cause I don`t know a thing what it`s all about how do you pick out the best … Have you heard about Elvis the Pelvis Satchmo Goodman Beatless Fretless Fender Gibson Punk Floyd New Stones computers disputers Or the flavour of a tune by Mozart How do you pick out the best …

I'm gonna check it out Check it out later Check it out Check it out later But first I'm gonna do This and this and this and this This and this and this Check it out Check it out later Check it out Check it out later You ask me to buy your wonderful course And I’m gonna be ahead of it all I don't wanna get away with remorse And soon you have talked me into the fall But when I get the goods in my home My inspiration is gone I'm gonna check it out … You ask me to try that app of the year You know that my inspiration will flow Convincing me that fulfilment is near And nobody knows how far it will go But when I get that app in my phone My inspiration is gone I'm gonna check it out … Where is the time we're waiting for Where is the time that went before Where is the time we're waiting for Where is the time that went before Where is the time we're waiting for Where is the time that went before Where is the time we're waiting for Where is the time that went before I'm gonna check it out … I'm gonna check it out … This and this and this and this This and this and this and this This and this and this

Short 04:35
lyrics
buy track
When I was a little boy Living in this little town I was short Playing with my little toy Always making it go down I was short Time would pass another year So I'd make it all OK It was short Telling them about my fear They said there's an extra day It was short I thought I'd be a big star In the greatest show on earth A hero of some sort I never was a big star Cos my mind-set was too short When I was a younger dude Waiting for a lasting crush It was short Trying not to be too rude Building up the final rush It was short I thought I'd be a big star … Now that I'm an older man Trying out the best in life It's too short Doing all the best I can Living for my kids and wife It's too short

I`ve got a big red thing on my nose You think it looks nice I suppose Yes man ain`t I sweet and charming With a big red thing on my nose A big red thing on my nose I`ve got so many things in my face And my nose shines through any haze You could see me from far away With a big red thing on my nose A big red thing on my nose Ain`t I looking pretty In this suiting hair My nose shines like a great big city I`m fair I`ve got a big red thing … Ain`t I looking pretty … I`ve got so many things … I don`t like this thing on my nose

Play It Funky 05:08

My work remains hidden in the vault I assure you it isn't my fault To all of the questions the answer is no Verify if you don't wanna go If you ask me the quiz The only answer is Play it funky Come and join in the scene If you know what I mean Play it funky If your days are surreal Cos you're stuck inside the wheel Play it funky If your tooth is too sweet And you cannot eat a tweet Play it funky Don't take my advice If you cannot read my letter Life is too short to care of that Don't take my advice If you're doing it better Make up your mind to where it's at If you look like a dog And you sound just like a frog Play it funky If you don't have the soul To be inside your role Play it funky If you ain't got the time To make up with the rhyme Play it funky Don’t you know where I’m at Can’t you find me in the chat Play it funky Don't do it today If you can do it tomorrow Life is too short to waste on such Don't do it today If you don't like the sorrow Life is a gift to taste and touch When you’re all out of toast And you just can't host a post Play it funky Don't you mind who I am Cos I’m not on Instagram Play it funky

Detour To Hell 05:16

He's standing on his lawn with a gun in his hand Looking quite suspicious will I trespass his land He looks me up and down with an ominous grin Just to make it obvious he won't let me in He was born out of trouble And he's playing it double And he lives in a bubble He's on a Detour to hell A Detour to hell It' s a Detour to hell On the road to farewell He's on a Detour to hell A Detour to hell It' s a Detour to hell On the road to farewell He stands there on his lawn he's got God on his side Nothing's gonna harm the way his life is applied I feel the creeps as I`m looking into his eyes I can see that he don`t care if somebody dies He was born out of trouble And he's playing it double He grew up in a bubble He's on a Detour to… He stands there looking cool and so hard to deceive Making up his point that I will just have to leave I wonder if it`s somebody he`ll ever trust Maybe he is doing what he does out of lust He was born out of trouble And he's playing it double He still lives in a bubble He's on a Detour to… Detour to hell

Leaves of a Disappeared Morning 04:17
lyrics
buy track
Look through my eyes At the world built of music The clowns in the trees with tractable eyes Saturday`s pancake with jam on its shoulder Looks through my eyes at the world Marmalade sunshine appears in the sky Longing for someone to hold Look through my eyes at the world And you`ll cry it`s too old Leaves of a disappeared morning Read all the letters in my heart Leaves of a disappeared morning Powder the world With a shake of your heartache The tears in your eyes attack all the mice Movables fly all around in your household Feeling the powder of love Cardinal numbers appear in a line Longing for daybreak to come Powder the world by a look in your mind And you`re gone Leaves of a disappeared .... Drawing boards fly to the mist of an island Where paper is gold And jam is a car Some of the people will sit in your fountain Looking at drawing-board times Wallaby raincoats Serene is the sky Plackets in line in a row Pluperfect stagecraft and drawing-board eyes Combat no Leaves of a disappeared .... Leaves of a disappeared morning

about

Music is so much more than making hits in a factory. It’s about emotions, it can be storytelling, a way to express oneself. Some music may be easy to relate to while some music makes you wonder if it even is right to call it music. And much of it depends on what background you have. So this variety of expression is what makes music so interesting and exciting in my opinion.
Having been a songwriter for more than fifty years I have seen a huge development in how things work in the so called music industry. From being in the hands of the companies’ gatekeepers to being able to manage everything yourself. That’s a big and important difference.
During these fifty years there has been some development in my songwriting. The Beatles were a great inspiration from the beginning, of course, but time has made me try a lot of genres (whatever that is...). I always thought that I’m ”just a songwriter”, but in recent years I have begun to accept that even songwriting can be an artform. To manifest this in some way I have put together a collection of songs that reflects at least a little bit of that musical journey. Though some songs are quite old the recordings are new, so you could say it’s a mixture of now and then. I leave it to you, the listener, to determine what origin the songs may have.
As stated before I consider this to be my kind of art, The Art of Krax!
