It's too late 03:49
lyrics
buy track
It’s too late There must be a thousand songs about love and how it ended The struggle to keep things on the move and how it stranded But there is always room for some more, so I open up the door Hope that someone’s coming in for a new begin It’s too late, now you’re gone, no regrets for the things that I’ve done It’s too late, broken dreams, looking back it’s never what you think that it seems Close the door and turn away from the past, this affair was never to last It’s too late, turn around and start all over before it´s too late And then all the movies, books and art with bad romances The tears and the pain and sorrow, the lost chances But that is fiction, this is real and I’m sure that I will feel That I lost the fight again. Is it over then? It’s too late, now you’re gone, no regrets for the things that I’ve done It’s too late, broken dreams, looking back it’s never what you think that it seems Close the door and turn away from the past, this affair was never to last It’s too late, turn around and start all over before it´s too late It‘s never has been an easy thing, and I hate all that fuzz about love Living together is so hard to do but staying alone ’s not enough Close the door and turn away from the past, this affair was never to last It’s too late, turn around and start all over again Turn around and start all over again Turn around and start all over Before it´s too late

Who do you think you are 03:29

Who do you think you are? Over and out, I said it quite loud, you didn’t seem to understand Didn’t catch it that our love just went away Again and again, you know exactly when too much would be too much I just won’t miss your lying touch a single day I knew that I would never end up crying I’m feeling so strong now I know you’re lying Who do you think you are? Messing up my life Telling those lies without tears in your eyes Spreading bad news and stick a knife in my back How do you think I feel? Be treated like a fool Knew I was right all the way long So come and tell me: who do you think you are? Take it or leave it, there’s no more you can see, believe me, this is it So don’t rob me of the memories of better days Take your clothes, your shoes, CDs but leave my dignity behind You’ve taken enough in all your mean and wicked ways I knew that I would never end up crying I’m feeling so strong now I know you’re lying Who do you think you are? Messing up my life Telling those lies without tears in your eyes Spreading bad news and stick a knife in my back How do you think I feel? Be treated like a fool Knew I was right all the way long So come and tell me: who do you think you are? I knew that I would never end up crying I’m feeling so strong now I know you’re lying Who do you think you are? Messing up my life Telling those lies without tears in your eyes Spreading bad news and stick a knife in my back How do you think I feel? Be treated like a fool Knew I was right all the way long So come and tell me: who do you think you are? Who do you think you are Who do you think you are

Faults & Failures And every time l want to tell you About the failures and faults we've made It suddenly seems that you're changing subjects As if I’ve been talking in a different way l must admit that you've got the talent You've got the gift to deny everything Sometimes l am wondering who is telling the truth Or is my memory just fading away How many faults are we allowed to make How much disillusion have we been forced to take So many fights, so much struggle All those arguments have drifted away No dialogue, no conclusion A monologue is spinning inside my head Empty illusion, just confusion A last passion l can't forget I’m staring into an empty mirror And don't recognize the reflection l see How many faults are we allowed to make How much disillusion have we been forced to take So many fights, so much struggle All those arguments have drifted away No dialogue, no conclusion A monologue is spinning inside my head Empty illusion, just confusion A last passion l can't forget I’m staring into an empty mirror And don't recognize the reflection l see How many faults are we allowed to make How much disillusion have we been forced to take How many faults are we allowed to make How much disillusion have we been forced to take

Six o'clock 04:26

  Six o’clock (Roel Klinkhamer) Six o’clock and the town is quietly awaking Six o’clock, I roll over on my other side Far too early to get up for living Didn’t sleep more than just an hour or two And I want to stay here close to you… Six o’clock, hear the birds are singing to the sunrise With a shock I remember this will be the day That you going away for a long time And I’m just not convinced you’ll return I’m a fool, there’s no need for concern Got to give you room enough to do the things you like Parts of us so different, we need our separate lives Waving at the airport and fighting against tears Waiting for you till you’ll be back here Six o’clock, time again to have my lonely dinner Miss you so, for I need your presence here to share Just to tell you how I spend the whole day working And there have been some moments I forgot But I must admit there haven’t been a lot Six o’clock, hear the birds are singing to the sunrise With a shock I remember this will be the day That you come back here after such a long time And I’m finally convinced you’ll return There has never been a reason for concern Got to give you room enough to do the things you like Parts of us so different, we need our separate lives Waiting at the airport and welcoming you home Stay a while with me before you go again, you go again, go again

I'll never be the one to fight 03:08
lyrics

I’ll never be the one to fight Every time I look at you I wonder who you are You should look so familiar but your image comes from far Then I start to doubt you, I get insecure Though I know that it’s you, I just can’t get it through to my mind And pretend to be kind. If you say yes I’ll keep denying, if you say no, I won’t agree When it is dark, I’ll send you sunshine, when it is light you won’t see me I’m just a shadow on your pavement, a flash of lightning in your night I’ll never be the one to count on, no, I’ll never be the one to fight So I’m roaming round the house not knowing what to do Imagine what you look like, but I still don’t have a clue Things ain’t getting better, more and more confused Oh, I wish that I knew something useful to do while I’m here Let the dark disappear. If you say yes I’ll keep denying, if you say no, I won’t agree When it is dark, I’ll send you sunshine, when it is light you won’t see me I’m just a shadow on your pavement, a flash of lightning in your night I’ll never be the one to count on, no, I’ll never be the one to fight Slowly re-adjusting Healing will take time Taking the medicine And they promised me I finally feel fine If you say yes I’ll keep denying, if you say no, I won’t agree When it is dark, I’ll send you sunshine, when it is light you won’t see me I’m just a shadow on your pavement, a flash of lightning in your night I’ll never be the one to count on, no, I’ll never be the one I’ll never be the one to count on, no, I’ll never be the one I’ll never be the one to count on, no, I’ll never be the one to fight

Deaf and blind 06:32

Deaf and blind She’s walking down the road and she is crying Hardly ten and terribly afraid Home isn’t the safe place that it used to be She should have been there now but she is late I hate to see the grief on children’s faces Being young should be a joy to be She looks so lost, so lonely, so discouraged I look the other way for I can’t see Don’t want to watch these terrible things, you know Terrible things that frighten me Rattle at things inside of me, better be deaf and blind Don’t want to see these horrible things, you know Horrible things so deep inside Things I have tried so hard to hide, better be deaf and blind He’s never been a man of conversation At work his colleagues bullied him around They mocked him for his crooked teeth and glasses He crushed them at the day that he was found She told everyone that she forgave him Even with the bruises on her back Nowhere to go and finally surrendered She didn’t run - from his last attack Don’t want to watch these terrible things, you know Terrible things that frighten me Rattle at things inside of me, better be deaf and blind Don’t want to see these horrible things, you know Horrible things so deep inside Things I have tried so hard to hide, better be deaf and blind Don’t want to watch these terrible things, you know Terrible things that frighten me Rattle at things inside of me, better be deaf and blind Don’t want to see these horrible things, you know Horrible things so deep inside Things I have tried so hard to hide, better be deaf and blind Better be deaf and blind Make me deaf and blind Leave me deaf and blind Better be deaf and blind

Hole in my head 06:44
lyrics

Hole in my head You retreated from the world we once explored together Shrinking time and place and soul, it won’t get any better There’s a void in your brain, there’s a gap in your mind, driving both of us insane Wishing we were blind so we can’t see what will remain Memories lost, faces that fade, shadows that darken your thoughts I can’t forget what you always said: I’ve got a hole in my head Do you remember who I am, do you remember my name The thing we used to do together will never be the same You are totally lost, stumbling ‘round in the dark, struggling to find the light Hoping there will be some way out, out of this permanent night Memories lost, faces that fade, shadows that crouch in the dark I can’t forget what you always said: I’ve got a hole in my head But all this time you sit and watch the seasons passing by No clue, no inspiration shown, without a reason why And during this I hope and pray that things will turn out right That one day soon you’ll wake up from your eternal night Memories lost, faces that fade, shadows that darken your thoughts I can’t forget what you always said: I’ve got a hole in my head Memories lost, faces that fade, shadows that crouch in the dark I can’t forget what you always said: I’ve got a hole in my head

Born to die 04:30

Born to die Now have you ever wondered where it’s all about Where is the entrance and where can we get out Roaming through time and space not knowing where to go Is there a plan, a scheme, a blueprint we don’t know It can’t be we are born to die No meaning in between just born to die I can’t believe that we’re just born to die No mission in between just born to die Sometimes it strikes me that it seems as everybody knows just where to go And I’m the only one that’s stumbling in the dark without a clue And in the haze someone will catch your eye, your heart, your mind and stays with you Is that coincident or fate, is that one of the things we’re going through It can’t be we are born to die No meaning in between just born to die I can’t believe that we’re just born to die No mission in between just born to die I read the book, I looked it up I tried my best to get a grip on this I even asked a priest: he told me things about beyond but left me in the dark Between my birth and death the time moves on not in a line but spiralling up and down I hope I’ll find the answer soon or else my live is spent in useless emptiness It can’t be we are born to die No meaning in between just born to die I can’t believe that we’re just born to die No mission in between just born to die

Senses 04:56

Senses Look at the sky: the clouds are gathering again Predicting the rain, it will be pouring down Feeling the heat, the sun is burning on your head Vibrating the air at the end of the road Senses fool around with people, taste of colours, smell of landscapes Touched by sound and sight of noises, all confused but there is hope Street parades of coloured horses, fireworks and the circus in town Just enjoy the unexpected forces: life is too short to be blue Climbing the ice, white-blue is blinding your eyes Sucked in by the cold the shrinking starts Hear the waterfalls are roaring, rainbows in the air Mist of colours, moisture faces deep down below Senses fool around with people, taste of colours, smell of landscapes Touched by sound and sight of noises, all confused but there is hope Street parades of coloured horses, fireworks and the circus in town Just enjoy the unexpected forces: life is too short to be blue Senses fool around with people, taste of colours, smell of landscapes Touched by sound and sight of noises, all confused but there is hope Street parades of coloured horses, fireworks and the circus in town Just enjoy the unexpected forces: life is too short to be blue Street parades of coloured horses, fireworks and the circus in town Just enjoy the unexpected forces: life is too short to be blue

Taken for the fool I am I thought we had a deal, a sort of understanding But recently I feel our bonding needs some mending How blind I must have been, not a second I had seen You cheated and you lied and you pushed my love aside Now I’ve been taken for the fool I am and I didn’t see it coming Taken for the fool I am, I should watch my back to counter your attack Taken for the fool I am and I didn’t hear it humming Taken for the fool I am, I should watch my back to counter your attack Taken for the fool I am It looked like an affair, the ones we love to read of For better and for worse while distance sneaked upon us You knew that it was over but you didn’t say a word You cherished the illusion and you knew that it would hurt Now I’ve been taken for the fool I am and I didn’t see it coming Taken for the fool I am, I should watch my back to counter your attack Taken for the fool I am and I didn’t hear it humming Taken for the fool I am, I should watch my back to counter your attack Taken for the fool I am It’s a corny story without a happy end but I’ve got to tell it now I don’t care if you listen, I tell it anyhow Love the one you trust and not the other way around Now I’ve been taken for the fool I am and I didn’t see it coming Taken for the fool I am, I should watch my back to counter your attack Taken for the fool I am and I didn’t hear it humming Taken for the fool I am, I should watch my back to counter your attack Taken for the fool I am

Boy band She wants to be a boy band, all on her own I must admit it sounds silly but she wants to do it all alone She wants to travel the world, Be a sensation as it’s never been shown She wants to be a boy band, all on her own I don’t suppose you know her, but her name is Mary-Sue She’s always been a silly one, not knowing what to do But recently I talked to her and she revealed her plans It had to do with music and with singing songs and dance She wants to be a boy band, all on her own I must admit it sounds silly but she wants to do it all alone She wants to travel the world, Be a sensation as it’s never been shown She wants to be a boy band, all on her own I tried to talk her out of it but knew it was in vain When Mary-Sue has sat her mind on something don’t complain She even found a manager to get her gigs around the globe For of course she didn’t need a band to join her walk down the rope And even though in disbelieve I went to see her show My God, that wasn’t Mary-Sue, the girl I used to know She met with all her promises, and boy, I was surprised For it was steamin’, rockin’, rollin’, beatin’ and parental guidance advised She wants to be a boy band, all on her own I must admit it sounds silly but she wants to do it all alone She wants to travel the world, Be a sensation as it’s never been shown She wants to be a boy band, all on her own (Now listen carefully I want to tell..) She wants to be a boy band, all on her own I must admit it sounds silly but she wants to do it all alone She wants to travel the world, be a sensation as it’s never been shown She wants to be a boy band, all on her own All on her own, all on her own, all on her own
