62 + 2 lyrics by the Hanseatic musician, lyricist, composer and singer. The ones that stuck in my memory!
The first more comprehensive edition of the Voice Lyrics.
He himself says: " It would be impossible to cram into a book the four hundred or so songs I have ever written. I chose these because they stuck in my memory. And I reconstructed the lyrics from memory, because I have no proper database. Sixty-two of them, the same age I am. Only because of Václav Kopta's afterword did I add one more text and then one more poem to order. And shuffled everything around as it popped into my head. So you can find side by side the text I wrote at sixteen and the text that came to me at sixty-two. The only connection in all this is that I always write to finished music. I would be happiest if the esteemed reader perusing this little book were to put on some of that music. I know, within reason. But thank you nonetheless."
Afterword by Václav Kopta.
