Best Friend Forever

I don’t want to be your best friend forever
I just want to be your lover, too.
I don’t want to be your best friend forever
I just want to make real love to you.
Like a best friend of a female lead
In a movie I feel myself beside you.
He gives advice, he talks away the pain,
Until she finally wins her big, big love.
I don’t want to be your best friend forever
I just want to be your lover, too.
I don’t want to be your best friend forever
I just want to make real love to you.
So many nights we spent together
Drinking your mud coloured bad smelling tea.
So many thousand tears I’ve been drying,
Playing the clown to take your blues away.
I don’t want to be your best friend forever
I just want to be your lover, too.
I don’t want to be your best friend forever
I just want to make real love to you.

You Don't Deliver

A good, good heart – you don’t deliver
Fun at the fair – you don’t deliver,
Love and care – you don‘t deliver at all.
Sweet taboos – you don’t deliver
Joyfulness – you don’t deliver
Sweet caress – you don‘t deliver at all.
I love you dearly, I follow you everywhere
But all I really want you don’t deliver anyway.
Whispered words – you don’t deliver
French kisses – you don‘t deliver
Hopefulness – you don’t deliver at all.
A beating heart– you don’t deliver
Surprising start – you don’t deliver
Sweet tasting lips– you don‘t deliver at all.
I love you dearly, I follow you everywhere
But all I really want you don’t deliver anyway.
Solo auf Strophe
Love on the beach – you don’t deliver
Secret dreams – you don’t deliver
Moonlight beams – you don’t deliver at all.
A midnight dance –. you don’t deliver
Sweet romance – you don’t deliver
A second chance – you don’t deliver at all.
I love you dearly, I follow you everywhere
But all I really want you don’t deliver anyway.
(I hear yoices, thea tell me strange things)

When I first saw you in that downtown joint
You stood in a beam of golden light.
And you smiled at me
And you asked me for my name.
And we crossed that night on a precious golden beam.
Golden summer days and I fell for you.
I leaned my head against your shoulder.
For I knew that you would carry us through
The days and nights and we got older.
And we spent our lives on a precious golden beam.
The golden beam took us across the land
I trusted you and you believed in me.
I played my songs, you danced and we drank.
Until this moment when you dropped your mask.
And something broke that night.
Now the years have passed and we still hold tight
To our dreams and to each other’s hands.
We make each other’s days in so many ways.
We cross every dessert in a duty white beam.
Cos something had just broke that night.

The Fire
04:54

Sometimes it seems like the world is on fire.
And I got the urge to close my eyes.
I feel like a jet dissolving in midair.
Trying to fly through a wall of flames.
But she took my hand, said:
Don’t be afraid of the fire.
The heat of the flame. It will take you higher.
The world is so wrong, it’s a demon on fire.
People lie and deceit just to feed their greed.
The world feels so wrong, it’s a demon on fire.
All the rains of the world can’t extinguish the fire.
But she took my hand, said:
Don’t be afraid of the fire.
The heat of the flame. It will take you higher.
She smiled at me and called me a fool.
Said, there is no life without burning desires,
Throw all you fears into high rising flames.
And like a Phoenix you will rise.
But she took my hand, said:
Don’t be afraid of the fire.
The heat of the flame. It will take you higher.

So many things have changed now
And I don’t think they’ve changed for good.
There is so much hate and disrespect these days
All those insults on every display.
Well, I remember times when most of the peaople
cared for each other, they tried to help each other.
They didn’t necessarily love each other,
But they tried to understand.
So come on and please let me show you
That this guy over there is your brother.
Well, here’s some good news for you, babe,
That girl beside you, she is your sister.
Once we shared our sweet blue-eyed dreams
Of a universal love and everlasting peace
When John imagined a world without any hate
And Patti spread her visions and her prayers for love.
Oh how dearly I wish we would join them now
And cared for each other like we care for ourselves.
Yeah how hard I wish we would join them now
And turn all the bad vibes into good.
So come on and please let me show you
That this guy over there is your brother.
Well, here’s some good news for you, babe,
That girl beside you, she is your sister.
What’s so funny ‘bout peace, love and understanding
Maybe it doesn’t look that cool to stop the hating and the cheating.
But if you should feel the urge to offend the fool next door
Or the old lady on the street that smells quite strange.
Please remember there’s nothing as easy as hurting someone
It’s so easy to hurt someone.
And the world gets darker every moment
You hurt someone, it’ s so easy to hurt someone.

Midsummer Fairies

Midsummer fairies dance upon the lawn,
Their music rises with the early dawn.
Sweet summer dreams are swirling through the air.
Come, take a look, you’ll find them everywhere.
Forget the darkness of the sad winter nights
Forget the trouble, don’t think of all the fights.
The summer’s here now, the sun is shining bright
I’ve got the feeling now everything’s going to be alright.
Midsummer fairies …
Mittelteil
Midsummer fairies …
Raise your spirit, come on and raise your feet
Let’s join their dances on the lawn or in the street.
Let’s taste the sweetness of an easy summer life
It’s our turn now to celebrate our lives.
Midsummer fairies …

So many people
Are telling obvious lies
With ice cold looks
In their beautiful eyes.
My confidence is shaken
People are so blind.
I pour myself another drink
I’ve got to clean up my mind
My world is on fire
Please come along
‘cos everyone’s telling me
Nothing can go wrong. (x2)
How I hope you realize
I’m not a hopeless case
I miss your sanity,
I long for your embrace.
Please come to my place tonight
I need your company.
Just come to my place tonight,
It’ll be just you and me.

Don’t tell me it’s alright,
I see the rising flames,
Don’t say you’ll watch over me
You’re a hundred miles away.
They tell me it’s in my head
They say the problem is me.
I feel so lost and dread,
I need your company.

Midway In The Journey

Well, I cannot find the right words
To tell you truly where I’ve been
No, I just can’t find the right words
To tell you truly what I’ve seen.
There was this strange uncertain feeling
It felt like falling from the skies.
I listened for familiar voices.
But there was nothing to be heard.
Her hair smelled of cigarettes she had secretly smoked
She asked: Why did you come here when you know?
She took my hands and blew my mind away.
She said: Why did you come here when you know?
The skies I’d fallen from were grey
They sucked the colours of my soul.
The skies I’ve fallen from were grey and dark.
I felt my life was fading fast.
There was this strange uncertain feeling
But I had nothing left to lose.
I listened for familiar voices.
But she sang sweetly unfamiliar tunes.
Her hair smelled of cigarettes she had secretly smoked
She asked: Why did you come here when you know?
She took my hands and blew my mind away.
She said: Why did you come here when you know?

Let’s get out on the road tonight
We’ve stuck here for far too long.
Step on the gas, let’s get out of here,
And wipe all your tears away.
I’ve got an old and true motor car.
I called it Springsteen, it won’t let us down.
Let’s push it to it’s linits, we can’t wait
Baby, don’t you hesitate.
We’ve been trying our very best
But we never ever had a chance
Two outsiders in a well designed world
No, we never ever realy had a chance.
chourus

Making money ist their true religion,
Gaining power they’re too dumb to use. .
No, I don’t think that we ever got a real chance
Don’t want their drinks, made out of other people’s tears.
chourus
Making money ist their only religion,
Telling other people what to think.
Spreading hate speech all across the world.
Come oer honey, let’s get out of here.

From The Past

Walking summer streets at night
Fleeting shadows in the light
Suddenly inside my head
A Half remembered tune is softly playing
And it’s coming from the past
Accompanied a love that was meant to last
A faced emerges from the dark.
Didn’t someone call my name?
There’s a distant smell of perfumed skin
A long forgotten feeling’s coming up again.
And it’s coming from the past
Accompanied a love that was meant to last
SOLO
Wish I knew where she was now
Wouldn’t it be fine to see her smile again?
We could listen to this half remembered tune
And imagine that our love was built to last.
And it’s coming from the past
Accompanied a love that was ment to last

The World Goes On

There’s your cup on the table,
There’s your voice in my head
Everything is like it used to be
But you are not here.
There are your favorite flowers,
I put your playlist on
Everything is like it always was.
But you are gone.
The world goes on, it’s Sunday morning
The Rain keeps falling on the lawn.
There is your face in the darkness
There are your lips, your magic eyes.
They occur just for a second
Before they fade away again.
The smell of your decent perfume
Still lingers in the air.
I try to count my fingers,
But I never get up to ten.
The world goes on, it’s Sunday morning
The Rain keeps falling on the lawn.
Middle eight
My mind is full of little scenes
Of things we did together,
I see you dancing to my songs
In the early light of dawn.
I see you running at the beach
Fooling around in high waves
The cup still standing on the table,
Lipstick tracs on it’s rim.
The world goes on, it’s Sunday morning
The Rain keeps falling on the lawn.
