My Love Is Real: The Lyrics

11 January 2010 Lyrics

My Love Is Real by Joachim Uerschels
I admit he’s a better poet than I am
His words are floating through the sky and
His rhymes elaborate, his rhythms tight
Designed to make you sigh
He’s nominated for the Booker Prize
By the same people who often write
My poetic licence should expire
Unless I revoke my style
My poetic licence should expire
But this [...]

Back In The Clubs: The Lyrics

3 December 2009 Lyrics

Back In The Clubs by Joachim Uerschels

On the guestlist everyday, some things that we don’t miss, hooray
‘Cause we are

Back in the clubs x 4

When you’re being catered Chili Con Carne
From the leftovers of the Salvation [...]

Perfect: The Lyrics

20 November 2009 Lyrics

Perfect by Joachim Uerschels
verse 1
Your butt is not as famous in the world
As the butt of Kylie Minogue
And your smile may not be immaculate
Like the smile of Gwyneth Paltrow
But let me say it really
You are perfect to me
verse 2
Let’s be honest your sex talk cannot compare
To the raps of Lil Kim
And your bank account is [...]
