Keep It Simple
03:24
|
|||
|
Keep it simple, keep it simple
'cause the world is troubled anyway.
See the sunshine, hail the moon
Enjoy what's good, but do it soon.
And beware of sinister deception
tryin' to spoil your life's conception.
Stop that creepin' round and round
get up stand straight for who you are
say it now and say it loud
I'd like to know what's it all about.
And beware of sinister deception
tryin' to spoil your life's conception.
Why you’re always wearing a frown
do you wanna drag me down
Better stop all that buzz
no need for all that fuss.
And beware of sinister deception
tryin' to spoil your life's conception.

Twisted Ways
03:19
|
|||
|
Sometimes I lie on my bed
in the middle of the night
tossing thoughts in my head
under mellow moonlight
No sleep in sight
And all the time that has passed by
and time it was a lot
time to laugh and time to sigh
I remember, I forgot
Does the word we give today still count tomorrow
or will it only cause us pain, grief and sorrow?
What do we know, what do we know, my love
Where do we go, how do we know, the twisted ways of love
Thinking about this and about that
and it drives me mad
because one thing we cannot see
what will come, what will it be
Does the word we give today still count tomorrow
or will it only cause us pain, grief and sorrow?
What do we know, what do we know, my love
Where do we go, how do we know, the twisted ways of love

No Steady Ground
02:54
|
|||
|
Runnin' 'round like a number one
better don't lose the cool
cause when everything comes undone
a closer look leaves a fool
seems like moving on steady ground
but this road might be hell bound
Climb the highest mountain
after some bad trips
drink from the sweetest fountain
after the sun has parched the lips
what is already known from yesterday
some things are better kept at bay
Whenever something is too dumb
to waste a second thought
what makes everything feel so numb
should'nt be hailed nor taught
something that turns into a dead end street
that pulls the rug out from under the feet

I'll Be Gone
02:33
|
|||
|
Stop that pushin' and that draggin'
can't stand your naggin'
stop being a constant tease
I'm beginn' please, please please
If you carry on - I'll be gone, yes I'll be gone
and you won't see me, no, you won't see me no more
I have a mother and a father too
see for educatin' I don't need you
I'm made from flesh and bone
don't need to be carved like a piece of stone
If you carry on - I'll be gone, yes I'll be gone
and you won't see me, no, you won't see me no more
You used to be so nice and sweet
a birdy going tweet, tweet,tweet
So I fell for you in no time,
After all it might 've been a crime
If you carry on - I'll be gone, yes I'll be gone
and you won't see me, no, you won't see me no more
Now it's clear, now I see
you never really fell for me
Only the reflection you had in mind
so you started to carve and grind
If you carry on - I'll be gone, yes I'll be gone
and you won't see me, no, you won't see me no more

All Messed Up
03:00
|
|||
|
I’m all messed up in a puddle of mud
and I need to stop being a helpless butt.
I need to get up and go
need to leave this crazy show
this blurred vision is a bad transition.
I'm messed up all messed up
I'm going to free my suspicious mind
That seems to be in a way too blind.
Remove the dirt wipe my windshield clear
Start the engine shift into the next gear.
What to say, what to do,
what is lie what is true?
A misty notion after great commotion
I'm a humming-top ready to drop.
Reaching the crossroad carrying heavy load
to chip away then take the other way.
I'm going to free my suspicious mind
That seems to be in a way too blind.
Remove the dirt wipe my windshield clear
Start the engine shift into the next gear.
I'm all messed up

Lazybones
03:07
|
|||
|
Sometimes I like to be lazybones,
hanging around, nothing to do.
Just staying in my homezone.
Staring out of my window, observing the zoo
that so busily passes by, like they're mad.
Then I turn around and go to bed.
Some people say I'm a lowlife,
and I'm no good cause I waste my time
they're complaining that I ain't got no drive
Hear them mocking, I'm not worth a dime
I don't care about this crazy crowd.
Leaving all of them in doubt about my whereabouts.

Who's Been Knockin'
02:52
|
|||
|
I'm sitting on my balcony
there's sunshine everything could be fine.
Wishing, hoping desperately
wondering where you could be
Who's been knocking on my door?
Is it you my love, is it you?
I've been waiting so long.
is you my love are you comin' home?
It's such a beautiful day
how can you be so far away
there are the birds that sing
and it's pulling my strings
I've been waiting for you so patiently
always dreaming about you and me.
And it would drive me insane
if all my waiting was in vain.
Who's been knocking on my door?
Is it you my love, is it you?
I've been waiting so long.
is you my love are you comin' home?

Let It Rain
03:26
|
|||
|
First we played that instrument
careful and with sentiment
but spoiled that sound of innocence
through our own ignorance
We left behind what seemed so clear
What did we do my dear?
Let it rain, let it rain
cause the rain will wash away the pain
because after rain and storm that's for sure
the days will be nice and warm
And the sun will shine
it makes us feel so fine
you and me, you will see.
We sing our songs of love and hate
while hoping for a better fate
sensing the wind that blows
smelling the smoke that billows
from a hurting heart, that burns with love.

Before You Go
03:14
|

|
Here’s one thing to know
if you wanna go
Ain’t no way to walk back through my door
So baby if you’re sure
It’s all that’s left to do
Ain’t no coming back for you no more
This time is gonna be the last part of this show
This time it’s gonna be just get your things and go
If you just don’t know
Maybe take it slow
Take your time and think before you go
You have changed your mind
For so many times
Love me, leave me, hate me or be mine
My love is on the line
you treat me so unkind
Just make up your mind, and I’ll be fine
This time is gonna be the last part of this show
This time it’s gonna be just get your things and go
If you just don’t know
Maybe take it slow
Take your time and think before you go

A Hundred Times
03:15
|
|||
|
So she finished her coffee
put the cup in the sink
like a hundred times before.
Put her mother’s picture
in her bag on the floor
and upstairs she heard him snore.
Left a note on the table
that she just wasn’t able
and went out the kitchen door.
Threw her keys into the river
took the bus to the station
like she dreamed a hundred times before.
Found a job in an office
and a new place to stay
with a friendly girl next door.
Hung her mother’s picture
on her kitchen wall
just like she'd done before.
And she went out to a bar
and she danced with a guy
but she didn’t take him home
'cause it didn’t feel right.
Instead she bought a new copy
of her favorite record
she had heard a hundred times or more.
And she finished her coffee
put the cup in the sink
like a hundred times before.
Looked at her mother
by her side on the wall
waving from an unknown shore.
And she searched for the years
that went by and away.
Thought about her dreams
how they faded or failed.
But she knew that she was free
and it made her feel better
than she felt a hundred times before.

Kitchen Of Love
03:07

What feels so good, can't be wrong
What is so nice, should last long
So won't you come with me into my kitchen of love
So won't you come with me into my kitchen of love
I know a good ole recipe,
we can cook it up just you and me.
I got some sugar for your bowl, if you like nice and sweet.
A hot dog for your roll, it's a spicy treat.
We can cook it up, 'til the cows come home.
We can cook it up, 'til the cows come home.
I haven't had a meal all day long
now my hunger has grown so strong
So won't you come with me into my kitchen of love.
I got a spoon to stir the pot, I keep stirring 'til the meal is hot
We put some cream on top and then we won't stop
in my kitchen of love ....
I haven't had a meal all day long now
my hunger has grown so strong
So won't you come with me into my kitchen of love.

666 Suffer Lane
03:52
|
|||
|
On my way to the house of pain
in 666 Suffer Lane.
To throw my heart in the trash can
because the shit has hit the fan.
There are all those promises
I’ve never kept I‘m in your debt.
Tell me who is the other one?
The one to whom your love has gone.
It's always the same. So am I to blame.
For what went wrong in our song.
Now on my way to hell, with my soul for sale
I learned to whine and wail.
Yes I hung around wasting time
didn't meek as a lamb.
Never listened to your pleas
simply didn’t give a damn.
I couldn't see what was at stake
until it was too late.
You took your heels
I have come to terms
with my fate with my fate.

Since My Baby's Gone
02:30
|
|||
|
Since my baby's gone, there is no fun
Since my baby's gone there is no sun
She left me standin' in the pouring rain
all my beggin' was in vain.
When she went away was the saddest day.
When she went away was the saddest day.
I said something wrong that is true
now I'm all alone and blue
Altough I'm down and out
and I wanna cry and shout
and I feel so mighty low
cause my baby took all my dough
I still want her back by my side
if only I knew where she went to hide.
Since my baby's gone, there is no fun
Since my baby's gone there is no sun
She left me standin' in the pouring rain
all my beggin' was in vain.

Rose Of The Valley
02:22

|
The Rose of the Valley last maiden living here
waiting for the knight of courtesy, so dear
now she's sitting there full of despair
for she has waited all so long, but he never came along.
Life seemed much easier when she was younger
and even the sun shone so much longer.
Young lads sweetly greeting passed her way
but now it's gone, and she wants to break away
Oh Rose of the Valley blooms in the latest fashion
Heart and soul so full of passion.
Your scent is infatuating, I'm ready for dating.
So won't you come along and take a chance on me.
Rose of the Valley
won't you take a chance on me

I'll Be There
03:16
|

I’ll be there if you need a shoulder to lean on,
if you need shelter from the storm.
I'll be there.
I'll be there if you feel down and out.
Cause it seems everything went wrong.
I'll be there.
Whatever comes it will go.
Stand straight and keep the faith
in what you are.
Then time will tell a story of it all.
I'd like to share all sunshine I can catch
the warmth that fills my heart.
'cause I care.
I'd like to console you when you're sad
cause the world seems so bad.
I've got two open arms.
I'll be there 'cause you're there for me.
'cause you make me see the sunshine in this world
I'll be there.
Whatever comes it will go
Stand straight and keep the faith
in what you are.
Then time will tell a story of it all.
Time will tell a story of it all.

The Unknown River
03:45
|
|||
|
Precious thing with a steady flow
in a constant motion
with waves high and low
the bearer of emotion
you pulse and throb an quiver
you are an unknown river
A healer of cuts and wounds
a breeder of miracles and bounds
from beginning to the end
we ride your waves from bend to bend
The harder we try to keep the state
the faster is your pace
memories are left date by date
while we move to another place
you pulse and throb an quiver
yes, you are an unknown river
And while you move we could get wise
and try to understand
we also could shatter in a life of lies.
Without a bearing hand
and you pulse and throb an quiver
still are an unknown river
