Abschied
Altes Lied
Auf offenem Meer
Auf Wiedersehen
Begreifst du nicht
Besessen
Bevor
Bitte
Bleibst du heut Nacht bei mir
Buchbacken
Darf ich bitten
Diese ungesagten Worte
Diesmal fliegen
Die Sonne ist rot
Du bist mein Aas
Du hast nie gesagt
Du küsst mich nie vor andern Leuten
Ecce homo
Die Eiligen
Erzähl mir von dir
Es schmeckt mir mein Essen
Evolution
Fall mir nicht in den Rücken
Fieber
Freudentränen
Geschichte aus einer Nacht
Gib mir nur das
Heimliche Gedanken
Heut ist mein Tag
Hunde in New York
Ich geh mit der Sonne spazieren
Ich habe die Wolken
Ich hab ein Nachtgespenst zu Haus
Ich male Herzen
Ich weiß, die Antwort
Das kleine Gedicht
Der kleine Prinz und du und ich (Melodram)
Klau nicht mein Herz
Komm, wir walzern
Liebesspiele
Mach mal bitte das Licht an
Manchmal
Meine Worte der Liebe
Nichts läuft mir weg
Rien ne va plus
Sayat Nova
Schau mich an, ich bade
Seele in Not
Ein Seemann
Die Sonne ist rot
Sonntag in Freiburg
Stark
Talken
1000 Meter-Bahn
Träumen
Vielleicht
Viel liegt mir nicht daran
Vogel, du hast’s gut
Vorsatz
Warten
Warum erzähl ich dir das
Weisst du noch damals
Wer hofft, lebt länger
Wie eine Rose
Woher weisst du
Der Wein ist aus
Wolle und Seide
Die zwei Brillen
Original Songs in English
A handout
All I want is truth
Although
Am I asking too much
And so I chose you
Any little song can harm you
Apple Swing
Ashamed
Before
Before the clowns are getting sad
Brecht, I love you
Buddy
Busy

Come, make this love song complete
Confessions of a singer: Addicted
Contenance
Cupid, I’m going to sue you
Don’t say a word
Don’t steal my heart
Do you remember
Gimme more from that blues
Give me your ship
How do I get from where I am
I adore you
I cannot come to your wedding
I don’t get myself
If you want me
If that’s what you like
I hardly know you
I have a new love
I have you here inside
I know the answer
I‘m in love with the smile of Mr. A
I’m not Caroline
I’m shy
I thought I had to lower my standards
I wander through the night
I was a boxer
I wish I hadn´t cried so much
Keep it that way
Let me write your dreams
Love, don´t you know
Medical error
My words of love
Never bury your dreams
Not quite enough in love
No word from you
Oh I’m so very beautiful
One, two
Read my lips
Right now
Sailor
Sigh in my ear
Since I know why
Sorry, I cut your safety net
So wherever
Speechless
Talking
This is the first thing
Till I find you
To a bird
We are two
Wear your red hat
Well, honey
What a curious feeling
What can I do
What Einstein said
What gold did I long for
What is tonight
What matters most
What means dead
When all of a sudden death calls
When I was in your arms
Where are you my dear tonight
Why
Why are all these noble men around me
Why can’t I see
You better seize this day for living
You call me crazy
You’d be perfect for me
You know it so well
You’ll be the last
You want to own me

19 Holy Sonnets (2023)
1 Thou hast made me, and shall thy work decay
2 As due by many titles I resign
3 O might those sighs and tears return again
4 Oh my black soul! Now thou art summon‘d
5 I am a little world made cunningl
6 This is my play‘s last scene
7 At the round earth‘s imagined corners
8 If faithful souls be alike glorified
9 If poisonous minerals, and if that tree
10 Death be not proud
11 Spit in my face ye Jews, and pierce my side
12 Why are we by all creatures waited on
13 What if this present were the world‘s last night
14 Batter my heart, three-personed God
15 Wilt thou love, God, as he thee
16 Father, part of his double interest
17 Since she whom I loved hath paid her last debt
18 Show me, dear Christ, thy spouse, so bright and clear
19 Oh, to vex me, contraries meet in one
Lewis Carroll

Dal ciel discese - 13 Sonetti delle Rime (2024)
Ben posson gli occhi mie presso e lontano 166
Dal ciel discese, e col mortal suo, poi 248
Dimmi di grazia, amor, se gli occhi i mei 42
I’ mi credetti, il primo giorno ch’io 80
I’ mi son caro assai più ch’i’ non soglio 90
La vita del mie amor non è ’l cor mio 34
Non posso altra figura immaginarmi 82
Non men gran grazia, donna, che gran doglia 150
Quante dirne si de’ non si può dire 250
Se l’immortal desio, c’alza e corregge 58

Veggio co’ be’ vostr’occhi un dolce lume 89
Vorrei voler, Signor, quel ch’io non voglio 87
