Bed Of Roses

                  Sitting here wasted and wounded

At this old piano

Trying hard to capture

The moment this morning I don`t know

 

`Cause a bottle of vodka`s

Still lodged in my head

And some blond gave me nightmares

I think that she`s still in my bed

 

As I dream about movies

They won`t make of me when I´m dead

 

With an ironclad fist I wake up

And french kiss the morning

While some marching band keeps

Tt´s own beat in my head while we`re talking

 

About all of the things

That I long to believe

About love and the truth

And what you mean to me

 

And the truth is

Baby you´re all that I need

 

I want to lay you down on a bed of roses

For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails

Iwant to be just as close as

The holy ghost is

And lay you down on a bed of roses

 

Well I´m so far away

That each step that I take is on my way home

A king´s ransom in dimes giving each night

to see trough this payphone

 

Still I run out of time

Or it´s hard to get through

Till the bird on the wire

Flies me back to you

 

I´ll just close my eyes

and whisper:"Baby,blind love is true"

 

I wanna lay you down on a bed of roses

For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails

Oh I wanna be just as close as

the holy ghost is

and lay you down on a bed of roses

 

Well this hotel-bar`s hangover whiskey`s gone dry

the barkeeper´s wigs crooked and she´s giving me the eye.

I might have said:"Yeah"

but I laughed so hard I think I died.

 

Now as you close your eyes

You know I`ll be thinking about you

While my mistress she calls me

To stand in her spotlight again.

 

Tonight I won`t be alone

but you know that don`t mean I`m not lonely

I got nothing to proove that it`s you that I`d die to defend

 

I wanna lay you down on a bed of roses

for tonight I sleep on a bed of nails

I wanna be as close as the holy ghost is

and lay you down...

I wanna lay you down on a bed of roses

for tonight I sleep on bed of nails

I wanna be just as close as

the holy ghost is and lay you down... on a bed of roses

 

 

Chains of yesterday

There was a time when I was lonely

So insecure, thinking God am I the only?

My heart tear up and full of doubt

So much are packed inside I couldn’t bring it out

Then one night I had a dream

Out of the mirror looked a ferry queen

Touching my heart with a golden key

The lock broke open and my heart broke free

The chains of yesterday will no longer hold me down

Oh no they won’t

I forgot and let it burn

It has turned out to be this one

The most beautiful of all

Now things are changing for the better

Through ups and downs

Through any kind of weather

Life it happens here and now

I see the cause yeah

I’m gonna make it somehow

I hear voices side by mine

If I just listen I would understand

I keep my heart so open and wide

‘Cause every problem keeps the blessing inside

The chains of yesterday will no longer hold me down

Oh no they won’t

I forgot and let it burn

It has turned out to be this one

The most beautiful of all

The chains of yesterday will no longer hold me down

No, no they won’t

I forgot and let it burn

It has turned out to be this one

The most beautiful of all

I hear voices side by mine

If I just listen I would understand

I keep my heart so open and wide

‘Cause every problem keeps the blessing inside

The blessing inside

The chains of yesterday will no longer hold me down

Oh no they won’t

I forgot and let it burn

It has turned out to be this one

The most beautiful of all

Will no longer hold me down

No they won’t

I forgot and let it burn

It has turned out to be this one

The most beautiful of all

Yeah- of all

 

With the help of a Dream

Get out of this world

Away from this earth

Take the dreams in your head and flee from this life

Close your eyes and flow the way

Inside yourself, where your fantasy makes everything okay

 

They go anywhere, where no one can find you

Look for a star and try to get there

Leave your home, leave all the people

Take it out of this

At least with the help of a dream.

 

In our world there is only black and white

No place for other colours , which rude be so blight

You must create your life in your head

So your dreams will never be dead

‘Cause reality can never set as fire the lonely in your heart.

 

They go anywhere, where no one can find you

Look for a star and try to get there

Leave your home, leave all the people

They go  anywhere

At least with the help of a dream.

 

No rules, no laws , no cry, no violence, no sorrows,

only living without time, never again a broken heart

No more tears for another day in love.

They go anywhere, where no one can find you

Look for a star and try to get there

Leave your home, leave all the people

They go anywhere, where no one can find you

Look for a star and try to get there

Leave your home, leave all the people

Take it out of this

At least with the help of a dream

Of a dream

Of a dream

Of a dream

Of a dream

At least with the help of a dream

 

 

 

The winner takes it all

I don't wanna talk
About the things we've gone through
Though it's hurting me
Now it's history
I've played all my cards
And that's what you've done too
Nothing more to say
No more ace to play
The winner takes it all
The loser standing small
Beside the victory
That's her destiny
I was in your arms
Thinking I belonged there
I figured it made sense
Building me a fence
Building me a home
Thinking I'd be strong there
But I was a fool
Playing by the rules
The gods may throw a dice
Their minds as cold as ice
And someone way down here
Loses someone dear
The winner takes it all
The loser has to fall
It's simple and it's plain
Why should I complain.
But tell me does she kiss
Like I used to kiss you?
Does it feel the same
When she calls your name?
Somewhere deep inside
You must know I miss you
But what can I say
Rules must be obeyed
The judges will decide
The likes of me abide
Spectators of the show
Always staying low
The game is on again
A lover or a friend
A big thing or a small
The winner takes it all
I don't wanna talk
If it makes you feel sad
And I understand
You've come to shake my hand
I apologize
If it makes you feel bad
Seeing me so tense
No self-confidence
But you see
The winner takes it all
The winner takes it all...

 

 

 

Schrei nach Liebe

Du bist wirklich saudumm,
darum gehts dir gut.
Hass ist deine Atitude
ständig kocht dein blut!
alles muss man dir erklären,
weil du wirklich garnichts weißt.
höchstwarscheinlich nicht einmal,
was Atitude heißt!

[chorus]:
Deine Gewalt ist nur ein stummer Schrei nach Liebe,
deine Springerstiefel sehnen sich nach Zärtlichkeit!
du hast nie gelernt dich zu artikuieren,
und deine Eltern hatten niemals für dich Zeit!
ohohoh..ARSCHLOCH!

Warum hast du Angst vorm Streicheln?
Was soll all der Terz?
unterm Lorbeerkranz mit Eicheln,
weils nicht schlägt, dein Herz.
Und Romantik ist für dich
nicht bloß graue Theorie.
Zwischen Störkraft und den Onkelz
steht ne Kuschelrock-LP!

[chorus]

Weil du Probleme hast
die keinen interessieren.
weil du Schiss vorm schmusen hast,
bist du ein Faschist!
Du must deinen Selbsthass nich auf andere pojezieren,
damit keiner merkt
was für ein lieber Kerl du bist!

ohohoh...

Deine Gewalt ist nur ein stummer Schrei nach Liebe,
deine Springerstiefel sehnen sich nach Zärtlichkeit!
Du hast nie gelernt dich zu artikulieren,
und deine freundin, die hat niemals für dich Zeit!
ohohoh...ARSCHLOCH! ARSCHLOCH! ARSCHLOCH!

Livin' Next Door To Alice

Sally called when she got the word
She said I suppose you’ve heard
About Alice.

Well I rushed to the window, and I looked outside
I could hardly believe my eyes
As a big limousine rolled up into Alice’s drive.

Oh I don’t know why she’s leaving or where she’s gonna go
I guess she’s got her reasons but I just don’t want to know
‘cause for twenty-four years I’ve been living next door to Alice.
Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance
to tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance
Now I’ve got to get used to not living next door to Alice.

We grew up together, two kids in the park
We carved our initials deep in the bark
Me and Alice.

Now she walks through the door with her head held high
Just for a moment, I caught her eye
As a big limousine pulled slowly out of Alice’s drive.

Oh I don’t know why she’s leaving or where she’s gonna go
I guess she’s got her reasons but I just don’t want to know
‘cause for twenty-four years I’ve been living next door to Alice.
Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance
to tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance
Now I’ve got to get used to not living next door to Alice.

Sally called back and asked how I felt
And she said, hey I know how to help
Get over Alice.

She said, now Alice is gone, but I’m still here
You know I’ve been waiting for twenty-four years
And the big limousine disappeared.

I don’t know why she’s leaving or where she’s gonna go
I guess she’s got her reasons but I just don’t want to know
‘cause for twenty-four years I’ve been living next door to Alice.
Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance
to tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance
But I’ll never get used to not living next door to Alice.
No I’ll never get used to not living next door to Alice

Feel

Come and hold my hand
I want to contact the living
Not sure I understand
This role I?ve been given

I sit and talk to God
And he just laughs at my plans
My head speaks a language
I don?t understand

I just want to feel real love
In the home that I live in
?Cause I got too much life
Running through my veins
Going to waste

I don?t want to die
But I ain?t keen on living either
Before I fall in love
I?m preparing to leave her
I scare myself to death
That?s why I keep on running
Before I?ve arrived
I can see myself coming

I just want to feel real love
In the home that I live in
There?s a hole in my soul
Can?t you see it in my face
Of real disgrace
I need to feel real love
And a life ever after
I feel like giving up

I just want to feel real love
In the home that I live in
I got too much love
Running through my veins
Going to waste

I just want to feel real love
In a life ever after
There?s a hole in my soul
Can?t you see it in my face
It?s a real disgrace

Come and hold my hand
I want to contact the living
Not sure I understand
This role I?ve been given
Not sure I understand
Not sure I understand
Not sure I understand
Not sure I understand

As

As round the sun
the earth knows she's revolving
And the rosebuds know to bloom in early May
Just as hate knows love's the cure
You can rest your mind assured that
I'll be loving you always

As now can't reveal the mystery of tomorrow
But in passing will grow older everyday
Just as all that's born is new
You know what I say is true
That I'll be loving you always

Until the rainbow burns the stars out of the sky
Until the ocean covers every mountain high
Until the day that 8 times 8 times 8 is 4
Until the day that is the day that are no more

Did you know that true love asks for nothing
Her acceptance is the way we pay
Did you know that life has given love a guarantee
To last through forever and another day

As today I know I'm living for tomorrow
Could make me the past
But that I mustn't fear
I know deep in my mind
The love of me I've left behind
Cause I'll be loving you always

Until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky
Until the ocean covers every mountain high
Until the dolphin flies and parrots live at sea
Until we dream of life and life becomes a dream
Until the day is night and night becomes the day
Until the trees and seas just up and fly away
Until the day that 8 times 8 times 8 is 4
Until the day that is the day that are no more

Did you know that true love asks for nothing
Her acceptance is the way we pay
Did you know that life has given love a guarantee
To last through forever and another day

As around the sun the earth knows she's revolving
And the rosebuds know to bloom in early May
For now I know deep in my mind
The love of me I've left behind
'Cause I'll be loving you always

Until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky
Until the ocean covers every mountain high
Until the dolphin flies and parrots live at sea
Until we dream of life and life becomes a dream

Until the day is night and night becomes the day
Until the trees and seas just up and fly away
Until the day that 8 times 8 times 8 is 4
Until the day that is the day that are no more

Take on me

Talking away
I don't know what I'm to say
I'll say it anyway
today's another day to find you
Shying away
I'll be coming for you love O.K.

Take on me
Take me on
I'll be gone
in a day or two

So needless to say I'm odds and ends
But that's me, stumbling away
Slowly learning that life is O.K.
Say after me
It's no better to be safe than sorry.

Take on me
Take me on
I'll be gone
in a day or two.

The things that you say
Is it live or just to play
My worries away
You're all the things I've got to remember
You shying away
I'll be coming for you anyway

Take on me
Take me on
I'll be gone
in a day or two
                                                                      When The Evening Falls

Darling I am calling

My call sounds bittersweet

I’m captured in my earnings

You would make my life complete

I have searched the world

I mean I’ve been searching everywhere

But darling everywhere I’ve been

You weren’t there

Again I close the bedroom-door

Shaking with desire

I hope so badly you would come my way

So when the evening falls

I view a special star

If you ride now by accident

We’re looking at the firmament

Would that very star

Would it shine for you

Can you see it too?

If you were to draw near me

I know I’d fall for you

I’d find you in a crowd of millions

Tell you this for sure

‘Cause darling I am burning

A fire wild and free

I want you here

And I want you now

I want you darling

All over me

So when the evening falls

I view a special star

If you ride now by accident

We’re looking at the firmament

Would that very star

Would it shine for you

So when the evening falls

I view a special star

My love I say

So why don’t you

I feel you

Can you feel me too?

Over me- I’m over you

You’re all over over me

I’m over you

You’re all over over me

I’m over me

Can you feel it too?

So when the evening falls

I view a special star

If you ride now by accident

We’re looking at the firmament

Would that very star

Would it shine for you

Can you see it too?
