    The debut of a promising newcomer. Roofman breaks with the cliché of the singer-songwriter. The music takes precedence over everything. Recorded with his friends Rhett Shull, Philip Conrad & Pim van der Meulen in our legendary studio in Hamburg. With Johan Scheerer as producer, the way of the album was clear. It's about music, about sound, about art. No soft-washed 2:30 standard mush.

lyrics

You’re licking your empty beer-can
with your eyes open wide
and then you’re riding through my neighborhood
with flowers on your bike

You say you don’t wanna live like them
You say you don’t wanna live like them

You’re singing songs from your good old days
and they’re echoing out of the alley
and then you’re riding through my neighborhood
in the middle of the night

you say you don’t wanna live like them
you say you don’t wanna live like them

you say it brings you down all day,
those with their suitcases while they’re on their way.
and that the way you’re stuck is a better way
to stay alive, in these crazy times

You’re the Rainbow Junkie
and when you light up a cigarette
The fire twinkles in your eyes
when you say that I won’t regret it.

you say you don’t wanna live like them
you say you don’t wanna live like them

you say it brings you down all day,
those with their suitcases while they’re on their way.
and that the way you’re stuck is a better way
to stay alive, in these crazy times

you say it brings you down all day,
those with their suitcases while they’re on their way.
and that the way you’re stuck is a better way
to stay alive, in these crazy times
