lyrics

Wake up

The child saw oil-soaked water birds
Countless chicken head first
Dissection bound in a kind of merry-go-round
Such a harrowing sight for the eyes of a child
On the first color TV in the early 70’s

The child thought now that they know
They won’t let me reap what they have sown
Pass on poison in a cup and let their own child sup it up
Enough is enough is enough
Isn’t it about time to wake up

The child saw oil crisis twice
Learned about carbon dioxide
Walked through acid rain
And watched local forests die

He marched against Castors and nuclear disasters
Way before coming of age in the mid-80’s

He was driven to tears by the slaughter of baby seals
To avoid depression he joined collective suppression
To look over the rim of a death cup
Whatever held us up

People can’t you hear the ticking of the clock
Isn’t it about time to wake up
To look over the rim of a death cup
Whatever held us up
We are more than just a part of the live stock
Wake up, wake up
Enough is enough is enough
Wake up

about

Anthony's Garden Munich, Germany

Singer-songwriter Joerg Mair counts on the wisdom of a pure folk-song reduced to its essentials. Dealing with love and hate, personal and global crisis, the lyrics are the driving force of every song.

His Trio „Anthony’s Garden“ (Wolfgang Peyerl - drums, Markus Angeli - upright bass) runs in the folk-tradition of Stephen Stills, José González, Bon Iver, Nick Drake or Ry Cooder.
