Great loves have been the inspiration for a lot of great love songs. And a lot of rubbish, too.
"So they don't love you anymore? Be grateful; they are standing aside so the right one can see you better." - Jan Hellriegel 2019.
HIGH MAINTENANCE MAN
Hot Dog
Met him in the city, the neon lights weren't shining
But tea and scones and cake were all around.
You know I wasn't looking
He wasn't looking
For lovers
But that is what we found.
He came over
We started talking
He asked me questions

I knew it had been a hard one
He'd known it tough but
The lights still flickered in his eyes.
And I was hooked

And I was done
High Maintenance Man.
You're doing what you do to drive me crazy
High Maintenance Man

High Maintenance Man.

Some things are sent to test us
To show us new and bold ways

Can you decline it
The intervention
Deep down you know it's what you're looking for.
And I was hooked
And I was stung
And I was done
High Maintenance Man.
You're doing what you do to drive me crazy
High Maintenance Man
You demand every ounce, every part of my will
High Maintenance Man.
And the road is a time bomb
Littered in debris.
Caught in the cross fire
Fake eyelashes mock me.
And through all the accolades
Blowouts and comedowns
Here I stand with my head held high
Poised and ready and reaching high
High Maintenance Man .
Hot Dog
Met him in the city, the neon lights weren't shining
But tea and scones and cake were all around.
You know I wasn't looking.
He wasn't looking
For lovers
But that is what we found.
And I was hooked
And I was stung
And I was done
And all the world
It made more sense
And everything
The Art of War.…
