Bitte / Please Gedichte / Poems Geschrieben / Written Lange / Long Leben / Live Wasser / Water
No verse can give pleasure for long, nor last, that is written by drinkers of water.
I want to write songs and play them for people - live.
Thousands have lived without love, not one without water.
Please write music like Wagner, only louder.
When I play poker, I don't like losing the pot.
But I can't and don't ever want to write bell-yanking confetti-tossing hat-throwing poems.
I don't believe for one moment you can write well what you wouldn't read for pleasure.
It doesn't take me long to write songs.
I'm not going to write for posterity. I'm going to write to make a buck.
