You said times with me were lots of fun,
But now funny just ain't what you want.
Yeah my girl, ain't that just a little strange..
There were times you'd rather die than leave,
Now you say: hold on a second here..
Yeah my love ain't it all just a little strange..
When you say: just hold on a second here..

Little girl, lend me your hand,
Swing your sandals across the sand,
Everyone can see that we are alive,
Take the world by storm and survive,
Forge our dreams into plans.

The wind in your hair, gives away the despair,
There is nothing I can do to help you there,
The timing`s right but the times are not,
Distant choices and regret you forgot,
Tonight will be yours, and yours to spare.

This is the last time
That I will say these words
I remember the first time
The first of many lies
Sweep it into the corner
Or hide it under the bed
Say these things they go away
But they never do
Something I wasn't sure of
But I was in the middle of
Something I forget now
But I've seen too little of

Nager dans les eaux troubles
Des lendemains
Attendre ici la fin

Flotter dans l'air trop lourd
Du presque rien
À qui tendre la main

Si je dois tomber de haut
Que ma chute soit lente
Je n'ai trouvé de repos
Que dans l'indifférence

Pourtant,
Je voudrais retrouver l'innocence
Mais rien n'a de sens,
Et rien ne va

And I'd give up forever to touch you
Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now

And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
Cause sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight

And I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

I got up, washed my hair,
Forgot my meds, but I don't care,
Cuz you'll be there,
And that's what I need.

Went to work, sat on a chair,
Typed some words with faking flair,
Dreaming about what I'll wear,
For you to see,

***

Sometimes life can be so chilling,
As if I am the only one on fire,
Only one other flame can warm me,
Your sweetness brings me to life.

***

I eat my lunch and
think that I'm not
ready yet to for-
get the pain in-
side of me that
strains me from
meeting you
again.

The reflection in my
spoon looks like
a goon that's talking
upside down and
staring at the silly face,
holding it's breath for
doom that looms.

No end.
Not any time soon.
You have to live before you die.

No end.
You can't pretend.
There is no place you can go hide.

Red eyes and blue skies, black fur and yellow paint,
Mix me and match me to what you like best,
Descending, ascending, our feathers to the winds,
I'll take you where you've never been.

There's more to it than this reality,
Like the witness of our sins,
The center of our imagination,
The structure that makes us one.

Now that I protect your secrets of life,
And when I look around,
When I open my eyes into yours,
I feel your thunder rage inside.

Will the day that you see.. ..be tomorrow, or not to be.
Will the love that I feel.. ..find a reason to exist in me.

Shall you take me in your arms.
Make me warm inside, make me feel alive.

Will the people agree.. ..that you and I were meant to be.
Will the church bells ring.. ..for your beauty next to me.

Let your brown eyes cast the spell.
For I am lost again, in search of you tonight.

If words can mean so much to me,
Then you must be too blind to see,
I'm writing down the depths of my heart,
Mmmm

Oh I would lead you by the hand,
Dance you out of this shabby tent,
Romanticise if that's allright,
Mmmm

Why,
Looking the other way,
You,
Don't understand,

Turning around,
Upside down,
The fool I've been,
To be with you..

Turning around,
Confusion abound,
The other me,
Can't hide from you..

Walk on stage and do the part,
Where lies are turned into art,
Deceiving those who adore us,
Thus my masterplan unfolds.

Before the mike, before you all,
I tremble on my legs, nearly fall,
You see my paralysed mouth,
As whispers surrender my heart.

Trying to hide the truth with words,
The tears give away the drama key,
Shall I go on and pretend to be,
And deepen the wedge between you and me?

Only you can hear my soul, only you can hear my soul

Luna tu
Quanti sono i canti che hai ascoltato gia
Desideri che attraverso i secoli
Han solcato il cielo per raggiungerti
Porto per poeti che non scrivono
E che il loro sennospesso perdono
Tu accogli i sospiri di chi spasima
E regali un sogno ad ogni anima
Luna che mi guardi adesso ascoltami

Only you can hear my soul..

So lover please don't loose yourself
Don't let your promise die
Cause you don't know how
And you don't know when
There's nowhere left to hide

Lover lover talk to me
We've both been here before
Takes a lot of time to see
You need less to become more

And all this time, evening cries
With no words, no words

Learning to pretend,
That I'm in control,
I flip the channels,
Without a clear goal..

You moved on to meet,
The love of a lifetime,
And now you treat him sweet,
Like you treated me so fine..

And so I wonder, don't you ever,
About what could have been,
If we'd tried a bit harder,
To just give in..

Love,
I'd love to love again,
I'd love to kiss you again,
I miss your tendernes..

High time we made a stand and
Shook up the views of the common man

And the love train rides from coast to coast
The D.J.'s the man we love the most

Could you be, could you be squeaky clean
And smash any hope of democracy?

As the headline says you're free to choose
There's egg on your face and mud on your shoes
One of these days they're gonna call it the blues.
