The River

I can see enormous flashes
I can hardly see the sky
Hard to throw myself onto
Onto the ground
Peter wants to share his memories
And Daniel tries to put it straight
The more they try to come together
The more they fall apart
I’m standing by the sea
Waiting for the storm
She saw him in the old old churchyard
She loved him more than she should do
Two pieces that once fit together
Don’t fit together anymore
I hope you close Doretta
I hope that you can feel the flow
You float along the muddy river
Until you reach the estuary
I’m standing by the sea
Waiting for the storm
I’m standing by the sea
Waiting for the storm
Yes!
I’m sitting in this boat with no direction
I can’t see the harbour by the sea
It’s shining from afar
I hope we’ll never disappear
I hope you close Doretta
I hope that you can feel the flow
You float along the muddy river
Until you reach the estuary

A Secret Like Nessie

Don't be a fool, boy
To be insecure in this lion's cage
'cause none of these folks
Will bed an eyelid
When we appear in here
We have the ability to recharge our battery
If we like our flattery we'll receive it endlessly
I told you about jessy
A secret like nessie
From that place where
He had a number of boys
And he used them like toys
He sheds no tear
He has the ability to recharge his battery
If he likes his flattery he'll receive it endlessly
Hey, what d'you think about yesterday
The days when we talked like fools in may
We were drunk paraplegic
Saw them dance them to the music
He went home the sun rose
He was wearing his nose pretty high
And i don't understand a word
And i don't understand a word
And i don't understand a word
And i don't understand a word
You have the ability to recharge your battery
If you like your flattery you'll receive it endlessly

Undergrowth

I promised to wait
Just to wait until
I'll see you again
I'm learning your most
Your most favorite song until my fingers will bleed
Will Bleed
I'm walking around
The smell of undergrowth goes straight into my head
Into my head
Into my heart
Through my eyes
Through my soul
Into my head
Into my heart
Through my eyes
Through my soul
The moon and the stars
whisper in my ear their most peculiar secrets
They're shining on you
And they're shining on me
That's what's binding us together in the middle of the night
I'm walking around
The smell of fresh air goes straight into my head
Into my head
Into my heart
Through my eyes
Through my soul
Into my head
Into my heart
Through my eyes
Through my soul

I would like to sing this song to my friends
I want them to listen and dance
It's my last chance
The next day they'll take me away
Where the people don't breathe
So I'm sinking down on my knees
Give me a slice of your peace
I take a bow and take a look behind the curtain and cry
And tumble down with a smile
Bye bye bye
Don't think
Don't think that this is a lie
They'll beat you
They'll hit you
They'll follow you wherever you go
They actually know what you know
Even before you could know
You'll feel it when they'll come
The sun will turn from yellow to red
It's time to send your children to bed
Your eyes will be wet
And I take a bow and take a look behind the curtain and cry
And tumble down with a smile
Bye bye bye
Don't think
Don't think that this is a lie

Martin Tetzlaff Berlin, Germany
Martin Tetzlaff is a Berlin-based songwriter with a strong pop sensibility and a penchant for sad
melodies.
Martin’s songs evoke a landscape both melancholy and reassuring, like a bleak landscape seen from a train window on the way home from an failed tryst.
His many self-produced recordings blend rock instrumentation with electronic elements, and range from hushed folk to bombastic power pop.
