I was well and truly out of love with love. The deeper you go the longer it takes to get out when the walls cave in. I wrote Ready for Anything in 2001 when I first moved to Berlin, damaged but ready to rock…..

Deep and meaningless – Baby be mine – Let’s take it easy – Let’s waste some time
Not an invitation to walk up the aisle…. except for whatever kind of aisle you might find in a darkened room where nobody gives a damn and the alcohol has already started to blunt your judgement
Let’s taste the bitter end before we even start – C’mon baby break my spine – you can’t break my heart
I dont need to be a fortune teller to know that this sordid little encounter is going precisely nowhere
I’m ready for anything that you’re thinking of – I’m ready for anything – Don’t call it love
because that’s the one place I do not want to go to in a hurry
No coming back for more – No second time – I’m gonna rip out all the wires that go from your world into mine – Been stabbed in the back so many times you can see right through to my bones Don’t expect no sympathy – no happy home
i already gave my happy home to someone who trashed it
One of 13 songs from the album (also titled “Ready for Anything”) – which my band Kathy X recorded back in 2004 – it took us 4 days, in the depths of winter in Northern Poland. Yeah, typical of our rockstar lifestyle. For monthly updates on my recordings, shows, and tiny adventures join my MAILING LIST
