BABY BLUE EYES
I will burn into flowers
Shroud up my love and let me go
In your gun-metal eyes
Linger the crimes I paid you for
I will bare-knuckle box
They pretend you’re no longer there
Am I to shy to stop ?
A sleazy detail of the case
Your campfire lit face
Glows like a ghost into the dark
I hear a broken bell
Is it a spell, is it my heart ?
Baby Blue Eyes - Has gone away
So silent on a summer day
Baby Blue Eyes – Your name of love
Is written with mine on the bole
Baby Blue Eyes – Far in the sky
Lights up and juggles with the stars
Baby Blue Eyes – With a clock’s tick
Can turn my poison into milk
Heaven is for Saints
And waters are made to drown in
A message have been sent
And flies in the quick of the wind
Don’t blame the troubadour
When rosy ladies bend as one
When prayers beg for more
Rubbing their wings upon the sky

THE LOOK

THE LOOK
Strephon kissed me in the spring,
Robin in the fall,
But Colin only looked at me
And never kissed at all.
Strephon’s kiss was lost in jest,
Robin’s lost in play,
But the kiss in Colin’s eyes
Haunts me night and day.

HIT THE BLUE
Wanna tell a little tale
Tiny story from the sea
About a boy, a roving blade
Called Johnny
Whisky Johnny was his name
The coolest cat I’ve ever seen
He had a smile upon his face
So jolly
He was poaching on a dream
He was dreaming of a love
Of a love under the breeze
Roll and go !
“Hit the blue
Never look back
Take a ride beyond the tide !
Hit the blue
The whale is mine !”
Said Johnny before he died
“Give you silver, give you gold
A solace in your solitude
If you leave my whale alone ! ”
Said Johnny
“‘Pity upon me, my Lord
Take me home under the sea
I offer you my drowning song
Let it be !”
He was poaching on a dream
He was dreaming of a love
Of a love under the breeze
Roll and go !
Over the sea
Over the land of the free
The whalermen are singin’ to me
The story of Whisky Johnny

BEHOLD THE BOY

BEHOLD THE BOY
From the house, mother calls my name,
Oh the glory when you dance in the rain !
Water drops from flowers and from trees,
God above shades His eyes and looks at me.
Father puts his pipe back in his mouth,
I crack a smile just to keep from crying out.
The sky is white as the belly of a boy,
Like vomit, memories choke in my throat.
Behold the Boy - Behold the Boy
Home is a stranger tonight
Behold the Boy - Behold the Boy
I tip you the wink he’s allright
With a heart of wind - and a song to sing
He swings in between dreams
Behold the Boy - Behold the Boy
Come and celebrate with him !
I touch your lips, the hurt is not enough,
Your thorn-spiked head slowly moves into the sun.
« Weep my child, your tears adorn the ground,
The sweetest song is also the saddest one ! »

IN YOUR HOUSE

IN YOUR HOUSE
In a world without a sky
Where shady boys take a shine
The lanscape is movin’
And your heart
Beats away
From mine
More than the dark to the light
More than the fist to the fight
More than anything I need
You were mine
My bliss
And my cry
In your house
At the end of the world
There is no light
And no love to get hurt
In your house
At the end of the world
There is no roof
To get under shelter
My little brook in the grass
You sparkle, gentle and bright
Lull my lover to sleep
He’s alone
And he’s gone
To the bad
I ride a storm to get high
I rest in the folds of time
I walk without you now
But I love

BABY JANE

BABY JANE
There were jokes, there was laughter, always
Many people and days
It’s all over today
Baby Jane dances like a rag doll
Nothing could bring her down
She’s allright
Floppy dress and wigs to walk around
You get off the ground
Get ready for the fray
Blow a kiss, peek-a-boo and be yourself
Forget the pain and the rain
Be allright
And a sun will rise up here one day
Fish-belly pale on sundays
No more lonely days
Baby Jane dances like a rag doll
In the land of Nods
She’s allright
Blue lace and bad memories
Broken dreams in a world of fairies
Broken dreams and the Queen of Hearts
Have lost her pride
But her tears are like candy
And her lips are so rosy
Don’t tell anyone a day she’ll die...

BIG BANG BOY

BIG BANG BOY
Like a rainy day
Along the shore
Like a bird of prey
Nailed to a door
Like your hands caressing her
With “love” and “hate” across your fingers
My world is so blue...
Like a week so long
Waiting for you
Like a pain so strong
Nothing to do
Like a soldier on the run
Skinny dipping in a river
My world is so blue...
Colour me with love - Hit the road alone
Let me tie your weary shoes
Wed a little storm - My melancholy joy
I will light a star for you.
Ain’t no coffin for my sorrow
Big Bang Boy.
Like a bridal bed
Empty and cold
Like a lonely grave
A moon-dark moor
Like a gash across my soul
When I’m the knife as well as the wound
My world is so blue...
Colour me with love - Hit the road alone
Let me tie your weary shoes
Wed a little storm - My melancholy joy
I will light a star for you.
Ain’t no coffin for my sorrow
Big Bang Boy.

NOSEBLEED HOLIDAYS
Remember when I was a boy
The days were long and bright
My brother was a warrior
Under a cow-boy hat
Where is my indian brother now ?
Oh Lord, I want him back
His body was of shining gold
His braided hair was black
Sore-footed boys
Racing with the sun
How could they know
The fire from the burn ?
The juju-man is back
Stumbling thru’ the night
He carries back some memories
He brings back to me
Nosebleed Holidays
Remember when I was a boy
My indian brother said :
“For ever I’ll walk on your road,
For ever on your way !”
Stone smooth as skin
On my brother’s grave
Clad in a spring
Lay your sleepy head
The juju-man is back
Crooning thru’ the night
And he plays a sad raggy tune
He’s singing my blues
Nosebleed Holidays
Bright is the night
Long is the road to walk on
Bright is the moon tonight
Red is the blood from my nose

WHEN DERMOT SINGS

WHEN DERMOT SINGS
You catch a star and make it shine
Above the rainy trees
You lay a curse upon my heart
Where did you say you’d been ?
Road is long
From good to bad
From right to wrong
And the wise is so sad
December spreads over the graves
The day is dark and grim
A soldier’s walking down the lane
As lonely as can be
A winter comes
A winter goes
Feel the rain
It slowly turns to snow
When Dermot sings
Up there is a God to believe in
When Dermot sings
My holly pictures start to bleed
You hold your breath and close your eyes
Like a deep-sea diver
You trill a lazy gush of cries
We know it’s all over
Spread your wings
Butterfly
Swing brother, swing
Let me seize the sky

WINGS OF THUNDER
I’m a man - I’m holy
There’s a rainbow in my soul
I’m a man - I’m holy
And I know
That the Earth is sacred
And the rivers and the snow
And the moons are dancin’ on my brow
I’m a man - I’m holy
And I go where the wind blows
I’m a man - I’m holy
And I know
That I speak the language of the Eagle and the Crow
And the raindrops tap dance on my brow
Oooh
My wings of Thunder
Ooh Ooh
Hide me in the storm
Oooh
My wings of Thunder
Fly - High - High
Heaven’s high
I’m a man - I’m holy
And I’m stronger as I grow
I’m a man - I’m holy
And I know
My path is the middle way, it’s neither high nor low
And a sun is blooming on my brow

DAWN STEALER BOY
Cold is the touch of your soul
And my heart is broken with grief
Barefoot you dance in the snow
And the sky cries, shivering
You love to rove my boy,
God made you so
No care, no joy, my boy
Delusion is all you know
Dawn Stealer Boy
Moon Tamer Boy
No mortal eye could see
The shame of Thee
Is there beauty yet to find
When you smile so sadly on me ?
Do you feel blessed when they cry,
Do you use’ em as you used me ?
Your frozen world, my boy
With a thunder-fit
Will split and crack, my boy
Torn between abuse and guilt
“Tic toc”, says the clock
Tic toc, you unlock my heart
When you knock, knock, knock
When you knock, knock, knock
So cold
At my door

EVEN DOGS IN THE WILD

EVEN DOGS IN THE WILD
Somewhere deep in the night
There's a child on his own
And his pulse isn't there
And the house is aglow
With the light from outside
Well the house is aglow
There's a mattress downstairs
Full of brown peppered holes
And the horse hair is coarse
Not as coarse and as rough
As the thoughts in my head
That will never heal sores
Even dogs in the wild,
Even dogs in the wild,
Even dogs in the wild,
Even dogs in the wild…
Even dogs in the wild
Could do better than this
Even dogs in the wild
Will protect and will care
For what means most to them
Whatever means to them
Even dogs in the wild
Could do better than this
Even dogs in the wild
Will protect and will care
For what means most to them
They do better than this
ALIEN RHAPSODY
(Words and music : Egon Kragel)
Keep watching the skies
Burning wheels on high
When the stars breathe and sway
When the mountains dance, we kneel to pray
No, it won’t be long
No, it won’t be long
Keep watching the sky
Sheding tears of light
When the aliens dance away
Are we not alone ? We kneel and pray
No, it won’t be long
No, it won’t be long
No, it won’t be long

Egon Kragel Paris, France
Auteur-compositeur-interprète, il se définit comme "un chanteur en kilt". D'une voix profonde, il chante à la fois les
sortilèges de l'enfance, les marins, les amours noyées d'ombre. Parce qu'il aime le dépaysement, il vous convie à ses voyages. Normal, le kilt est écossais et la guitare andalouse.
Singer, songwriter and composer, he reveals about himself : "I'm a kilted troubadour."
