Rolander - Houseboat On The Thames

Dieser Song über eine Seitensprungbeziehung ist sicher der folkigste Track meines neuen Albums. Die Parts für die virtuellen Gitarren habe ich auf meiner Akustikgitarre komponiert (auch das Solo) und dann so authentisch wie möglich umgesetzt.

Auch bei diesem Stück hatte ich Hilfe:
Richard Bellinghausen schrieb den Text.
Sony Lichtenberg singt die Hauptstimme.
Claudia Theisen singt die Zweitstimme.
Peter Müller spielt die Irish Bouzouki.

Never mind what the papers say
Call me Kimberly anyway
I’m a changeling, so what’s in a name?

Got to cross the metropolis
When I long for my lover’s kiss
Drawn along like a moth to a flame

With an artist of such quality
Collecting is a necessity
Leave my gallery and turn the key
I'm always tense on the underground

Calm down on the riverside walk
The boats shine like a string of gems
Then swaying in the boisterous light
His houseboat safely anchored and
moored on the Thames

When I jump on deck he's on the scene
The broadest grin there has ever been
Meet our feline friend called Mondegreen
A catless home is a soulless home

Calmed down on the riverside walk
The boats shone like a string of gems
Then swaying in the boisterous light
His houseboat safely anchored and
moored on the Thames

While my old man is still abroad
I'm engaged in this little fraud
He's been cheating on me since day one

Never mind what the guidebooks say
All my worries are far away
With my boatman I'm second to none

You could say his endeavour thrives
Various children and former wives
He's a master of airbrush and paint

Never mind what the scriptures say
There's a Sinday each Saturday
Why pretend when we're clearly no saints
