Tough Mean Little Lady
03:54
|
|||
|
I know this woman, she's a natural beauty
She's a stunner without even knowing
When you see her
It will knock you down and out
When her green eyes gaze at you, you will feel so alive
When she's dancing she touches the sky
And her hips make me feel nauseous
When you see her
You'll understand what I mean
When her lips start talking to you, you will feel so alive
She ain't aware of what she does
She's just a tough mean little lady

Why Don't You
03:13
|
|||
|
Something inside me
Is telling me that I should
Know this is nonsense
That you're out of your mind
But I refuse to see
There's something in it for me
What can I do
I'm just trying to be a friend to you
Where can I go
When everything I need is not here
Why shouldn't you
Why wouldn't you
Why don't you
Why can't you
Why don't you
Why don't you listen to me
You're fooling yourself
You keep thinking that we
Are the cure for this sick world
Are the comfort we need
Why can't you see
That all we do is hide and flee

A Bad Day
02:32
|
|||
|
I will skip today
If that is okay
I’d rather stay in bed
Get some peace in my head
No way that this day
Will bring me some kind of relief
What can I do
To stop the rain
Where can I go to
Should I go back to Spain
No way that this day
Will bring me some understanding
If only I knew how to get rid of my worrying
If only I knew how to turn this mess into bliss
I’m feeling depressed
Can’t find me some rest
I’m losing ground
That I once found
No way that this day
Will bring me some peace of mind
Where will this lead to, will it be better
Anything better than today
Can it get worse, worse than today

Going Home
03:55
|
|||
|
I'm driving away
I just can't stay
I gotta leave this place behind
It's time to move on
Ain't gonna cry no more
Ain't gonna moan again
Ain't gonna write a letter to you
Ain't gonna take the time
To think about
To scream and shout
About what you have done
No messing around
No adventures again
I gotta change my ways
It's time to move on
I'm gonna take the shortest way
Home again
No diversions, no delay
I'm going home straight away
Ain't gonna cry no more
Ain't gonna write a letter to you
Ain't gonna take the time
To think about
To scream and shout
About what you have done

New Melody
03:35
|
|||
|
There's this melody
Very strange to me
Touching me seductively
A harmony
Unknown to me
Yet it seems to be so familiar
It reaches the core
The heart of my being
There's a certainty
A complexity
It's kind of overwhelming
I can't resist the lure
Christal clear and pure
It reaches the core
The heart of my being
It moves me
It thrills me
It sort of overtakes me
It scares me
It provokes me
Yet it feels so familiar
I'm holding on to my owns songs
The harmonies that I know
I'm afraid of what will happen
When I will follow that melody
So strange, so familiar in a way

Change Your Mind
03:08
|
|||
|
The life we know is hardly worth living
We try to find a way
To get us through the days without thinking
Maybe there’s a better way
It can happen to us little baby
If we don’t play this game
But you don’t care or think about it baby
You think we’ll always stay the same
But I don’t care
If I can’t ease your mind
I don’t care
If you will never change your mind
You act so strong
Trying not to show it
That you don’t understand
You don’t fool me, I can look right through you
You’re more than just a one night stand

Raging River
03:06
|
|||
|
Standing on the side of this raging river
Trying to keep my feet on the bank
But I can't keep the water from rising
I will have to take a step or two back
I never thought this little stream could be like this
We used to swim here and take a dive
Now I know it can come alive
And sweep us into an abyss
Rain and thunder, the darkest skies
I wonder where it all will lead to
I lost the feeling of being safe
At the same time I'm feeling so alive
This raging river is shaping the land
It has the power to grind it down
We like to think that we're in control of things
In fact we're like the sand being shaped
Rain and thunder, the darkest skies
I wonder where it all will lead to
I lost the feeling of being safe
At the same time I'm feeling so alive
We better try to make the best of it
We better keep in mind what we are
We better keep this raging river in mind
When we're thinking we have made it

Ego Power
02:55
|
|||
|
The world is ruled by some crazy men
You can guess where that will lead to
A crazy world which even makes you think
If we'll make it another day
The leaders of this world are totally absorbed
In fullfilling the laws of their ego's
They don't care about you and me
They're just trying to compensate their misery
The lack of a caring heart
All they are you can take away easlily
So everybody is their enemy
It all depends on what we do
All these people electing a fool
Deep down they must feel the same
So hungry for love, it's a shame

The Dark Side
02:36
|
|||
|
There's a side to matters that we normally don't see
We refuse to flip things over
The side where the scorpions and spiders live
That scare the hell out of us
The dark side we refuse to see
Pretending that it is not there
But if you turn it into the light
It might just be what you are missing
The contrast makes the difference
The contrast makes you feel alive
The pretty things just can't do without the dark side
We've got sides we don't want to show
Things that we keep in the dark
Keeping them in a place where the bad things will proliferate

Warzone
04:38
|
|||
|
There's a warzone in my head
I'm trying to get around
I feel that I can do it
But there's a chance that I will perish
What can I do
When the demons take control
When the light will fade away
When the darkness takes me over
This life has been okay
And I never knew a thing about it
Now I know the darkness and the light
There's a warzone in my head
There are troubles all around me
I'm trying to keep peace instead
Will it ever be okay
What can we do
When the problem can't be solved
When we'll turn over to machines
Who'll decide what we will do

I Know Nothing
02:46
|
|||
|
There"s a thing that I don't know
That I really want to know
But I won't know if you keep on saying nothing
It's a mystery right now
And I know that you know
What I really want to know, you know
I'm a curious little bastard, I'm a very nosy man
You're urging me to let it go
But I won't give in
It's part of who I am
It's been the joy of my life
How can I let things go if there's nothing in return
But I also sense the freedom
The joy of not knowing
When everything is just the way it is
Now I know that I can have it both ways
I will always try to figure things out
It's keeping my mind sharp
But I won't let it bother me
In the end I won't know a thing
And I know what you wanted me to know

Black And White
03:36
|
|||
|
The're a thousand shades of grey
But only one black and white
It depends on the mix, right
When you think only black and white
You miss all these shades
When you start to think that you are right
You might miss what's hidden
We can only see what we can see
There's a whole lot smaller than the eyes can see
We can only guess, make some presumptions
We're just tiny parts trying to grasp our existence
A thousand shades of grey
No real distinction
Only black and white we can describe

Empty Gaze
03:16
|
|||
|
Sitting on a platform
Waiting for a train
Trying to look indifferent
But inside he feels a pain
There's so much going on
There's a storm in his head
Trying to keep it quiet
It makes him feel so bad
There is no escape from the war in his head
There is no relieve anymore
The girl next to him she has no clue at all
She is happy, just been to the mall
She has no clue about the misery beside her
The boy with an empty gaze
Then her phone falls in his lab
His angry dream is broken
She tries to make him laugh
Could this be a token
He stutters a few words
She gladly takes it over
A train passing by
The words are lost
There is no escape from the war in his head
There is no relieve anymore
Will it be over
When the train hits his face
Or could the girl beside him break the spell in his brains
Words can't relieve him
Of the fear that he holds
The girl could do it only
By slapping him in the face
Kissing him on the lips

Riding On A Prayer
03:34
|
|||
|
Sunday morning, late out of bed
Making me a breakfast, taking time to read the paper
I don't want to think of Monday
I forgot about Saturday
I'm walking on a tightrope, trying to keep on going
Thinking of quitting for quite some time
But I know I'll keep on going
I'm riding on a prayer
It''s keeping me going
It's keeping me straight in line
I'm still hoping to find a better way again
To make my living easy, to find a way out of here
|

Break Away
03:39
|
|||
|
Deep down I'm feeling something better
Deep down in the dungeons of this life
Deep down I keep hearing something better
Deep down, hidden far away
What can I do
Where can I look for
What is the price
If I go deep down
I know I can't resist it
I must follow this path
No matter what it takes
Now I can't think it over
I can't find the time
Every word I utter makes no sense
Now I can't think it over
I need to find me a way
I'm in trouble and I just can't seem to break away
Break away and find me a way
I just can't stay for another day
I need to break away and find me a way

You Better Be
02:59
|
|||
|
I'm thinking of the boy that I once was
About the times that seem to be over
But in a way it's telling me a story
That still is going on
You better be
You better be true to yourself
You better be
You better be the hero in that story
You better be
You better be the same as you were then
You better be true to that boy
I'm thinking 'bout the times that are over
Everything seems to have changed
But in a way it's revealing a story
That needs to be continued
I'm moving on, I'm on the way
Back to him
I'm moving on, finding my way

Secret Love
04:01
|
|||
|
When you look at me
When you talk to me
When you smile at me I'm in heaven
You've got all that it takes
You've got some serious ways
To make me feel the person I am
I will keep it a secret
I won't burden you
So you can live on without even knowing
What you mean to me
What you are to me
You keep me going
You understand what I say
You see who I am
I recognize me in you
You've got all that it takes
You've got some serious ways
To make me feel the person I am
I will keep it a secret
I won't burden you
So you can live on without even knowing
What you mean to me
What you are to me
You keep me going
Keep me flowing
Keep me sane in this crazy world
When I see you, when I look in your eyes
There's nobody meeting
Just two pair of eyes
You and I, we are one of a kind
But I know it's not the same for you
It's a secret love
It's way above anything that I can grasp
It's a crazy love, I can't get enough
It's more than you and I can take

i-World
04:15

All you see is on a screen
You're passing me by and you don't notice me
What is it that you are missing
In the world that is around you
All you need is on a screen
You're passing me by and you don't notice me
What is it that I must be missing
In that world in the palm of your hand
It is a strange thing
A weird thing
A thing I can't get used to
It is a new thing
This gadget
From a digital world that's not mine

Better Days
03:53
|
|||
|
There's still some hope
There's still some time left
I keep on dreaming of better days
We keep on wasting the time that is left
We keep on thinking that it doesn't matter
Acid rains, destructive ways
We need to find a better place
Why should we fly to Mars
(If we can't make it work right here)
Can we take responsibility
If solutions are so plain to see
Can we do what needs to be done
Can we do it right now

End To You And I
03:43
|
|||
|
There are no soothing thoughts in my mind
There are no words that I can find
There is no way that I can make you see
You have to work it out by yourself
There are no wise words left inside
I cannot help you to get it right
I cannot help you to get any further
How you have to find your way to the light
You and I are not what's meant to be
You and I don't work you see
You and I are not the way to be free
But I can't make you see
There's a life without you and me
There's a whole lotta life without us
There's more than you and I will ever know
Sooner than we ever thought
Sooner than we could imagine
Sooner than we want it to be
There's an end to you and me
Sorry that I have to say it to you
Sorry that I have to leave you too
Sorry that we never could work it out (together)

Ain't No Way Around It
03:59
|
|||
|
I have heard what you have done
Got it straight form the horse's mouth
Now I realise that you are gone
There ain't no way around it
I'm acting like a nerd
Since I heard these things from you
Just like a bird
Spread your wings and flew away
You just went away the other day
You didn't care about what to say
You didn't care to tell me
Tell me the reasons why you flew away that day
Now I hear from your rocking and rolling
From your having a ball all day
Why didn't you explain it to me
Im so confused, you see
The rain keeps on falling, falling all the day
My heart keeps on aching in a heavy way
When I realised our love was a ly
Can't deny that it made me cry
No doubt about it
There ain't no way around it
I'll have to face the reality
Let the things that you did sink in
I can't change this crazy day
This earth keeps on spinning anyway
Now I'm in a mess, feel a lot of stress
I need to get you out of my head
I need to find me a new lover straight away
Now I know what you have done
Everything you said is dragging me down
I can't fake
I can't change the way that I feel
There's no love
There's no love in my life anymore
Can't remember
Can't remember a word that you said
