Who needs a goal?

lyrics

08. who needs a goal

there’s a blanket on the horizon
for at least a month the sky’s been grey
and nothing helps, not even coffee,
i just can’t seem to feel awake
if i’m still young, then how does old feel?
bugs in my brain, warts in my face
seventy years, running ’round down here
and then you’re gone without a trace
what do i care? the world is turning
and i’m still here and i will stay
i don’t ask why, but i keep learning
without a goal, but that’s okay
who needs a goal anyway?

no matter if i join competitions
i win or lose, i’m wrong or right
and i’m getting tired of these decisions
cuz life’s a break between nothing and i don’t mind
what do i care…

I have a friend, he stopped believing
said he was through with useless rhymes
he climbed back down the stairway to heaven
got a better job and bought himself paradise
there’s a blanket on the horizon
i’ve been staring at the gray too long and now i’m blue
but somewhere higher, the sun is shining
now that ain’t being optimistic, i just say what’s true
what do i care…

Trummer Berne, Switzerland

"Es ist nicht übertrieben zu behaupten, Trummer gehöre zu den ganz wenigen Schweizer Künstlern, die Songs auf einem derart hohen Niveau nicht bloss schreiben und komponieren, sondern auch vortragen können."
Pedro Lenz.
"Trummers Songs berühren, weil sie weder belehren noch beeindrucken wollen, sondern es bei der schlichten Frage belassen: Kennt ihr das auch?“
Laudatio SUISA Stiftungspreis 2011 ... more
