Riding Home
03:00
|

|
I’m riding on a train
Riding on a train back home 2x
Riding, riding home 2x
I didn’t buy a ticket
Didn’t buy a ticket home
It’s a free free ride
A free free ride back home
Doesn’t matter if I get there
As long as I’m riding home 2x
I’m trying hard to convince you
To take this free ride home
Sure would like to take you
Back on this track right home
Now that I have found you
Gonna take you home
Sure that I can show you the right way home
Take my hand and join me for a ride

Through With You
03:02
|
|||
|
I won't take it any longer
It's driving me mad
Now I'm feeling so much better
All this time it's been upside down
It felt so bad
It made me frown
So here's to you I'm back in town
For you
So here's to you and your silly insinuation
I don't care about your reputation
I’m through with you
I've been a hypocrite
It's taken some time to see that
I hate to admit
I'm no better than the rest
All this time
I've been playing along
These silly games
How could it be wrong
But now I see
That's just how it had to be
So here's to you and your silly reputation
I'm through with you
And your constant agitation
I'm through with you

Can Of Worms
03:38
|
|||
|
Sun is shining, I'm feeling good
Want to keep on riding, if I only could
No thoughts in my head
Just a rocking song on the radio
I'm tapping along, it's got a nice steady beat
The lyrics ain't great but nice to repeat
I'm on the move
I'm as careless as I can be
This ride is a leap of faith
Away from all that I know
Sun is still shining I'm feeling good
I just keep on driving through an endless wood
No destination
I'm just a careless easy rider
No worries on my mind, no quarrels with you
I left you behind, what else could I do
I'm on the move
I'm as careless as I can be
This ride is a leap of faith
Away from all that I know
There's a can of worms
Don't take of the lid
There's a can of worms
Don't take of the lid
Beware of the grid
Invisible to me and you
It's a can of worms
I want to keep it under the hood
Sun is still shining I'm doing okay
Want to keep on driving, let me go astray
As long as I'm on the move
It keeps me from looking under the hood

Hit And Miss
03:00
|
|||
|
Morning creeping through the curtains
I'm trying to postpone my day
Turning over once again
The memories from yesterday
Slowly seem to fade away
In the doze of a morning dream
In the promise of a bright new day
Never thought that it would come to this
It was just a matter of hit and miss
Never in my life I could have known
This is the way that it would go
You can plan whatever you want
Everything going just fine
Then a storm comes along, messing up all your plans
No matter the precautions you take
No matter what’s at stake
Life will go it’s own peculiar way
I’m holding on to my routine
I need to have some certainty
The past few days have been a blast
Now it’s over, it seems unreal
When I look into the mirror
There’s a face that looks familiar
But how can it be the same
When everything else has changed

Two Different Worlds
03:35
|
|||
|
I can't believe that this is happening
But I sure can't deny what is going on
I need to get some grip on my worrying
I need to find a way out of here
What can I do to make you chose my side
What can I say to make you see I'm right
You seem to live on the other side
If we see the same thing you see another thing
You and I we need-to-get some understanding
We need to get it right somehow
What can I do to make you chose my side
What can I say to make you see I'm right
Whatever that we do
Whatever what we say
We seem to be living
In two different worlds
You can't believe what is happening
From your point of view I'm insane
You need to get some grip on your complaining
You need to find a way to deal with me
There's nothing we can do to make us chose a side
There's nothing we need to say, we both are right
Whatever that we do
Whatever what we say
We seem to be living
In two different worlds

Ordeal
03:05
|
|||
|
I felt so good, everything was fine
But now the walls are closing me in
The sky is falling down
My mind is on the brink of collapse
What can I do, where can I go
I can’t escape from what’s going on
I need to face it at the risk of going mad
It’s an ordeal, a hard ordeal
It’s a matter of surrender
It’s an ordeal, a hard ordeal
It feels as if I’m lost forever
Will I be back, will I come back for once again
I’m feeling sick, I’m feeling scared
There’s a sense of disaster ahead
I can’t avoid it, it needs to take place
Can I allow it, can I handle this with grace
My heart is pounding, I’m trembling all over
I let it happen, I might just pass away
I reached a point of no return
It’s an ordeal, a hard ordeal
It’s a matter of surrender
It’s an ordeal, a hard ordeal
It feels as if I’m lost forever

Wheels Keep Spinning
03:35
|
|||
|
I'm moving along, got the roads in my head
My bike is shining bright
I'm singing a song, but maybe instead
I should be thinking about tonight
The band will be playing
I need to get it right
The weather is great, I did not hesitate
I decided to go for a ride
I will practice the song, get the solo right
When I'll get home I grab a guitar
But now I feel the sun in my face
When the curtain will fall
When the show is over
In the abys I know so well
I have to find me a life
I have to find myself again
Now I'm on the road
And the wheels keep spinning
Everything has fallen in place
Now I'm on the road
And the wheels keep spinning
I'm on the way and yet I feel at home

If Only
03:54

You could have been the one
If only I could turn back my clock
You could have been the one
But you're not, you're not, you're not
You're everything that I could wish
You're even better than I imagined
But it ain't gonna be, I have to settle for that
It ain't gonna be like that
I never believed that I would find you
If only I could turn back my clock
And now that I found you, what can I do
You're way out of my reach
You're everything I could ask for
You're like an angel from the sky
But it ain't gonna be, I sure do see
It ain't gonna be like that
And in a way this is how it should be
In a way I'm as happy as can be
This stage of life has already been closed for me
It seems
I don't need to play my cards
I don't need to show them to you
Life is not like winning a game
There is more to it than that
I don't want to drive you away
I want to keep you here
So I can see you, talk to you
Be with you
For as long as it will be

Keep On Rocking
03:59
|
|||
|
Some things go wrong, they go another way
Than you thought they would go someday
And sometimes everything that you do is fine
At least, that's what you believe for a while
But it's all a matter of perception
And growing older will change your interpretation
Of the way that you see
The way that you see what is happening
So keep on rocking
Yes you better keep on rolling
Keep on rocking
Keep on rocking and rolling
Sometimes you might think that you can do no wrong
And sometimes you feel you can lose it all
So you better keep on going, not knowing all along
What it will mean in the long run

You lost your mummy and your daddy
Your appearance's getting shabby
You lost some of your strength
You can lose your hard earned wealth
You lost some of your hair
But please, don't you dispair
There is still plenty to grow
So don't you feel low
You can lose your sight
But there still will be light
You lost your wife
But you still have a life
You can break your heart
All over again
It all seems unfair
But no reason to dispair
It ain't over 'till the fat lady sings
It ain't over so you can still spread your wings
It ain't over, although the pain still stings
It ain't over 'till the fat lady sings
You have lost your friends
You need to start all over
You try to fix what never mends
You have to let it go
You will lose this fight
You will lose what makes it right
You will lose your senses
It's your modus operandi
You will lose it all
In the end you lose it all
It seems so unfair
But no reason for you to dispair

Sorry that it's over
I needed to get away
I've been waiting too long
It was time to move on
Waiting far too long
I know, it has been dragging on
Now it is better
I feel relieved
The weight is of my shoulders
There's another time, another space
Somewhere across the line
Between the way it was
And how it will be
(We'll see)
In a way it's all the same
So it appears to be
But for someone who is looking real close
There's a world of difference
So now you know I had to go
Leave you in the mess
The mess of a life
A life you need to leave behind

Her Vicious Mean Way
03:37
|
|||
|
Well my baby gets me thinking
Well my baby gets me thinking alright
Well my baby gets me thinking
Yes, she's keeping me awake all night
She got this vicious mean way
To keep me thinking about her all day
Yes she moves her cute ass in a innocent ingenuous way 2x
She strolls around in the house
She strolls around in a wicket way
Yes she's making me think of her all through the day
When she would leave me for another man
I would beg her to stay the best that I can
Yeah she could turn me into a desperate man
She got this vicious mean way
A wicket way about her
She got me worried all day
I need her to stay with me

Gone

I have always remembered my very first love
I have never forgotten that girl
I suppose she never had a clue
I kept it a secret, what else could I do
She was a stunner and I was a silly boy
So what else could I do
But I have always kept that girl in my heart
Some years ago I googled her name
I found her, what can I say
An exception to the rule
Her beauty had still remained
In a way it made me happy
That she still was
The girl I once loved, the beauty that I remembered
It was kind of reassuring
A connection to the past
But now she has passed away
And it hurts in an awkward way
It feels as if I lost her again
And now it will be forever
It's raining so hard
Another wound for my heart

New Kind Of Love Affair
03:20
|
|||
|
I never thought that I would see her again
We've been apart for such a long long time
And I thought of her sometimes
Forgot about her many times
And then I realised how much she still meant to me
She is the one that fits the bill
She is the one for me
The only one who won't stand in the way
So we met again, the attraction has remained
We're so much older now, wiser now
So it still won't be the same
I never had thought that it would be so good
I never had thought that this would happen
I always had thought it was not meant to be
Now she has proven me wrong
It ain't no big deal
For the first time no craziness
This feels so much better
Better than it ever has been
It ain't no fancy love affair
This isn't hard to bare
A new kind of love affair
