The man you wanted to be 03:52
lyrics
buy track
The man you wanted to be Do you remember when you were just a boy And life was easy, only laughter and joy You didn’t think about the times that would come You felt so safe, protected, living along When you were young, when you were still in your teens Life seemed so complicated, hiding in dreams And being older seemed attractive and cool Not being bothered or live up to the rule Now you're becoming the man you always wanted to be You get up in the morning, you look in the mirror and See the man you fancy and you’re feeling so free For you’re becoming the man that you so desperately wanted to be But growing older, you just seem to relax There is less worry about eating or sex You grow a belly and you think it looks nice You are your best friend and it is no surprise That you're becoming the man you always wanted to be You get up in the morning, you look in the mirror and See the man you fancy and you’re feeling so free For you’re becoming the man that you so desperately wanted to be But it’s a world in which you have to be young You must be healthy and you have to be strong And no excuses, no, you ought to be lean And no-one’s nice to you, the world is so mean While you're becoming the man you always wanted to be You get up in the morning, you look in the mirror and See the man you fancy and you’re feeling so free For you’re becoming the man that you so desperately wanted Becoming the man you always wanted to be You get up in the morning, you look in the mirror and See the man you fancy and you’re feeling so free For you’re becoming the man that you so desperately wanted to be

Every face tells a story 04:09
lyrics
buy track
Every face tells a story A metaphor is saying so much more than thousand words could do So I compare your look with the writing of a book to say how much I love you And I know, it’s unusual to do But I go for the book about you If you show your features on every page Every face tells a story and yours I'm reading like an open book Every wink of your eye writes a line in the sky And I melt inside when you give me that look Every move writes a novel and your moves are like a thriller to me Every twist of your lips, every curve of your hips Makes me love you more I turn the page and read about the rage, the anger and the shame The burning love, that’s hovering above though no-one seems to blame In a book, you can lose sense of time But your look is betraying the crime When I took it down from the shelf I did know Every face tells a story and yours I'm reading like an open book Every wink of your eye writes a line in the sky And I melt inside when you give me that look Every move writes a novel and your moves are like a thriller to me Every twist of your lips, every curve of your hips Makes me love you more See the look in your eyes Feel the warmth of your breath Touch the skin of your cheeks and then It’s for sure that I know that I won’t let you go Every face tells a story and yours I'm reading like an open book Every wink of your eye writes a line in the sky And I melt inside when you give me that look Every move writes a novel and your moves are like a thriller to me Every twist of your lips, every curve of your hips Makes me love you more

Let me out 03:09
lyrics
buy track
Let me out Want to be a free man, not a look-at-me-man Want to be more inside-out, and ask for what I need Want to be your good friend, without kissing your ass Someone to rely on, to give you what you need Need an opportunity to get me through the motions Got to get me my share of those energy explosions Here I'm hiding in my shell, I just can't get it open So I'm looking for a way to let me out Want to write a good song, something you can sing along But only if the lyrics are words you understand Hear what I am saying, listen while I'm playing Know me by my music, but only if it reaches you Need an opportunity to get me through the motions Got to get me my share of those energy explosions Here I'm hiding in my shell, I just can't get it open So I'm looking for a way to let me out Need an opportunity to get me through the motions Got to get me my share of those energy explosions Here I'm hiding in my shell, I just can't get it open So I'm looking for a way to let me out I'm waiting for someone to let me out I'm longing for the day you let me out!

New wheels 03:26

New wheels I'm walking down the road, it's a very dark night I've got my keys in my pocket and I'm strolling, don't feel right The rain is pouring down, I'm soaking wet right down to the bone My car broke down at the other side of town, I just got to get home And get myself Some new wheels, I wonder how that feels A set of new wheels, a shiny piece of steel, the excitement that I feel To buy some new wheels, I wonder how that feels A set of new wheels, I don't want a second-hand, get me one for forty grand My feet are aching, I'm feeling cold It ain't the first time it let me down, the damn thing's too old Tell you what I'm gonna do when I get home I take a good night sleep and when the bargain's cheap, guess what I’m going for I want Some new wheels, I wonder how that feels A set of new wheels, a shiny piece of steel, the excitement that I feel To buy some new wheels, I wonder how that feels A set of new wheels, I don't want a second-hand, get me one for forty grand Still I'm walking down the long and dark road There's no-one here this time of day Still I'm roaming and strolling my way back home It just ain't fair, I'm only half way there Some new wheels, I wonder how that feels A set of new wheels, a shiny piece of steel, the excitement that I feel To buy some new wheels, I wonder how that feels A set of new wheels, I don't want a second-hand, get me one for forty grand

Could it be 03:03

Could it be Could it be that it’s all a mistake Someone’s laughing ‘bout the fuss that we make Could it be that it’s all just a dream Then let us dream on Let us dream on What do you see, open your eyes The day is fading, the night lies waiting What do you say, tell no lies Ears stopped hearing when truth’s disappearing, so Should it be the way it always has been No-one noticed what we told we had seen Should it be us against the rest of the world Then let us dream on Let us dream on When do you know right from wrong The right time is here while the wrong place appears Why do you care, feel so strong When caring is living and feeling forgiving it all Could it be that it’s all a mistake Someone’s laughing ‘bout the fuss that we make Could it be that it’s all just a dream Then let us dream on Let us dream on

Dreams 04:42

Dreams Sleeplessly lying, eyes open wide, spending the night watching the ceiling Suddenly a black hole appears, pulling in d the fears that kept you awake And you wonder what’s going on Sleeplessly lying, eyes open wide, spending the night watching the ceiling Suddenly a black hole appears, pulling in d the fears that kept you awake And you wonder what’s going on Dreams, am I in your dreams, wake up and please let me go Seems that I’m in your dreams, wake up, for I don’t want to know Wondering through the landscape of her mind, finally you find what looks like the exit Then the walls start closing in on you, don’t know what to do, which way to run And you wonder what’s going on Dreams, am I in your dreams, wake up and please let me go Seems that I’m in your dreams, wake up, for I don’t want to know All the obscure aspects of your nightmares filled with fears Make me love you even more, although they’re drowned in bitter tears Dwelling in each other’s mind to touch each other’s soul So twisted, troubled, torn, tormented, oh nothing goes too far Now you can face the darkness of the night, really sleeping tight, you don’t have to worry In your dreams you’ll never be alone, never on your own anymore For you know what’s going on Dreams, now you’re in my dreams hold tight, I’ll sure let you stay Seems that you’re in my dreams feels right, let’s keep it that way Dreams, now you’re in my dreams hold tight, I’ll sure let you stay Seems that you’re in my dreams feels right, let’s keep it that way Let’s keep it that way

Animals Seven red elephants Running through deserted cities Massive elephants Shatter empty elevators But who wants elephants today But who wants elephants today Twenty-two crocodiles Walking through burning bushes Several different crocodiles I saw… I saw them dancing But who wants crocodiles nowadays But who wants crocodiles nowadays Down, down in the basement Hear the sound of fire burning Down, down in the basement Hear the animals scream, hear the animals scream Hear the animals scream, hear the animals scream… Leopards in agony Climbing up sky-scrapers Streams of hungry leopards Try to eat the dusty clouds But who wants wild animals now But who wants wild animals now So you see animal action on every screen So you see animal action on every screen Down, down in the basement Hear the sound of fire burning Down, down in the basement Hear the animals scream, hear the animals scream Hear the animals scream, hear the animals scream Down, down in the basement Hear the sound of fire burning Down, down in the basement Hear the animals scream, hear the animals scream Hear the animals scream, hear the animals scream

More love 03:44

More love You make me feel, so damn real, that I hardly can breath You gave to me reality, now you know that ain't so easy But I'm afraid it won't be forever Will it ever stay a while, long enough to learn to smile Afraid I will blow it once again Just like all the times before, didn't dare to ask for more love Lived in a dream, or so it seemed, didn't know what's right or what's wrong Until you came, days were the same: black, dull, empty and lonely But I'm afraid it won't be forever Will it ever stay a while, long enough to learn to smile Afraid I will blow it once again Just like all the times before, didn't dare to ask for more love They come and go, lovers who don't know, that I'm so desperate to keep them Ain't there a way, I can make them stay just a little longer than the last one But I'm afraid it won't be forever Will it ever stay a while, long enough to learn to smile Afraid I will blow it once again, just like all the times before, didn't dare to ask But I'm afraid it won't be forever Will it ever stay a while, long enough to learn to smile Afraid I will blow it once again Just like all the times before, didn't dare to ask But I'm afraid it won't be forever Will it ever stay a while, long enough to learn to smile Afraid I will blow it once again Just like all the times before, didn't dare to ask for more love

The ugly man 04:36

The ugly man There comes the ugly man, look at his face Mistake of nature, of the human race Look at the ugly man, his body, his mind They're all mixed up, he's really one of a kind Look at him walking with his face to the wall See the fear in his eyes, he’s afraid of us all There is the ugly man, he feels so alone Afraid of company, he stays on his own He goes to ugly bars to find him a bride One that won't notice that he’s ugly tonight Look at him dancing with his face to the floor With his body so crippled, keeps his eyes on the door Why does he have to be beautiful To be noticed and loved This world is no place for the ugly man So he wants to get out, 'cause we don't hear him shout Look at the ugly man, he walks down the street Bumps into the ugly girl he was hoping to meet Now they're an ugly couple, proud of their love Making fun of the world, rising up, stand above Look at them dancing, cheek to cheek, all night long See the love in their eyes, feel desire so strong He doesn't have to be beautiful To be noticed and loved This place is perfect for the ugly man So he wants to stay in, wants the dream to begin I'm the ugly man, take me as I am I’m the ugly man, love me if you can I'm the ugly man, take me as I am I’m the ugly man, love me if you can I'm the ugly man, take me as I am I’m the ugly man, love me if you can He doesn't have to be beautiful To be noticed and loved This place is perfect for the ugly man So he wants to stay in, wants the dream to begin

I’m still fighting What is that UFO doing out in the yard The table’s moving and there’s doubt in my heart What if it’s true what they say about Mars? What if we’re out in space just a big farce? Don’t know wrong, don’t know right, I’m still fighting Don’t know wrong, don’t know right, I’m still fighting Who knows the truth please now raise your hand I keep out looking for the one who understands Don’t know wrong, don’t know right, I’m still fighting Don’t know wrong, don’t know right, I’m still fighting There is a woman who can heal, it is said And she can cure you just by touching your head She does her surgery by grabbing into your chest Tears out your heart and then she pulls out the rest Don’t know wrong, don’t know right, I’m still fighting Don’t know wrong, don’t know right, I’m still fighting Who knows the truth please now raise your hand I keep out looking for the one who understands Don’t know wrong, don’t know right, I’m still fighting Don’t know wrong, don’t know right, I’m still fighting There is a man, he can move things, they say Without touching, he just thinks them away And then that girl who claims she lived here before Travelling in time is just stepping through a door Don’t know wrong, don’t know right, I’m still fighting Don’t know wrong, don’t know right, I’m still fighting Who knows the truth please now raise your hand I keep out looking for the one who understands Don’t know wrong, don’t know right, I’m still fighting Don’t know wrong, don’t know right, I’m still fighting Wrong, right, fighting Yes, we’re just wrong, right, fighting

See & Look & Watch Don’t ask me how I feel All I feel is wild, untamed confusion Powerless to find a sound solution Leave, please don’t hang around All I need is silent isolation No distraction, no consideration, let me be See & look & watch what I am doing Study all my movements while I walk Start a thorough background investigation, but don’t talk Watch & look & see how I am eating Judge me by my ways of getting dressed Hear my voice that’s ringing while I’m singing, give me rest Sleep, sleep might sooth the pain Dreamless nights of endless tossing turning Try to bear the burden that is burning Dark, deprived of all the light Still there’s hope for better times appearing Deep inside a hesitating cheering, don’t let go See & look & watch what I am doing Study all my movements while I walk Start a thorough background investigation, but don’t talk Watch & look & see how I am eating Judge me by my ways of getting dressed Hear my voice that’s ringing while I’m singing, give me rest It’s no wonder they say that it hits us one day And the question’s not if, but just when We all long for some peace get some rest, feel at ease And we don’t need much company then Get away if you can See & look & watch what I am doing Study all my movements while I walk Start a thorough background investigation, but don’t talk Watch & look & see how I am eating Judge me by my ways of getting dressed Hear my voice that’s ringing while I’m singing, give me rest

It's about time 05:14

It’s about time Got to get some time to figure out what's on my mind I don't know why I feel so insecure so I'm leaving Days and weeks pass by, they slip away, I don't know why Can't get a grip on things no more and so I'm leaving I don't know where I'm going to end up, haven't a clue, but I don't care It's just a need, I've got to do this It's about time, I need more space, I need more time To fight the darkness in my mind that made me blind, I need the Time, to find the soul I thought was mine To get in balance with the rhyme that feeds my mind, so give me time Just 12 month in the year, only seven days in a week I wish that I could make the time go slower and slower Sold my watch and clocks, don't read the papers, watch tv Don't want to know what's going on outside my fortress, my home I don't know where I'm going to end up, haven't a clue, but I don't care It's just a need, I've got to do this It's about time, I need more space, I need more time To fight the darkness in my mind that made me blind, I need the Time, to find the soul I thought was mine To get in balance with the rhyme that feeds my mind, so give me time It's not a question of impatience, it's not a matter of regret It's just the last attempt to find some time, the time I've never had But hardly gone I feel the pressure of having time enough on my side So still I'm having that fight, it's about time I don't know where I'm going to end up, haven't a clue, but I don't care It's just a need, I've got to do this It's about time, I need more space, I need more time To fight the darkness in my mind that made me blind, I need the Time, to find the soul I thought was mine To get in balance with the rhyme that feeds my mind, so give me time
