Something is wrong
02:55
|
|||
something is wrong
in my friendly neighborhood
something is wrong
must be something that's not good
there were strange lights
and the voices in the night
and from that night
something something isn't right
a good friend of mine
who used to play guitar in band
is now someone
whom I just can't understand
he's working now
for some occult company
he's wearing a tie now
and a made-to-measure suit
what'll happen next?
will he try to eat my brain?
I have to expect it
cause he's probably insane
a wooden stack
or silver bullet in his head?
each way it would be (a) mercy
cause he is already dead
people I knew
who were as fine as you and i
greeting me now
with empty words and empty eyes
talking about
the deadly boring mindless stuff
or just standing there
like waiting for some orders from above
tu-tududu-tututu-tududu
I know some night they'll come to me and 'll try to get me too
tu-tududu-tututu-tududu
I'm searching for solutions but I really don't know what to do
I'm seeing these creatures around me
resembling the humans they used to be
emotionless, without their own goals
like robots under aliens control

Hounds of love
04:10
|
|||
clamant clang, they're running
hu-hu-hu
hounds of love they're running
hu-hu-hu
day and night they're running
hu-hu-hu
tireless they're running
hu-hu-hu
they've got your scent and they'll follow you
give them an inch and they'll take an ell of you
you shouldn't play with them, they will see it through
you should beware of them, it's best thing you'd do
oh can't you see the great hunger in their big eyes
hungry for love they're chasing their fleeing prize
oh can't you see how sharp are their big big teeth
and their big ears, they can hear you heavily breathe
but they are running and running for very long
with the pitch black despair that is running along
they'll never satisfy that great hunger they bear
feeding on nothing more than just scare and fears
running running wild always misunderstood
maybe you are the one who can tame them for good
are you the one who's brave and can stand their glare
are you the one who can see that love cause it's there
hounds of love
my hounds of love
give them warm-hearted smile and they'll follow you
give them a bit of love maybe that will do
maybe they'll lie and cuddle right on your side
watch fondly over you with their eyes open wide

Girl, you are dynamite
02:16
|
|||
girl, you are dynamite
and maybe it's the way to my heart
girl, you are dynamite
one look from you and I'm falling apart
all the other girls that are sitting shyly
they don't have your eyes that look so slyly
I know you're up to no good
but I would take this risk of course I would
cause
girl, you are dynamite
you're firework of pure energie
girl, you are dynamite
you are the one who's fitting to me
the other girls are waiting for a prince to save them
but it could become a problem
cause all the princes yearn for you
and whine about the cruel things you do
girl, you are burning sun
but kind of I can't take my eyes off
girl, you are burning sun
this shine of which I can't get enough
so you are shining hot and free
but it's not to much for me
you can't boil away my blood, you'll see
cause I'm as deep as deepest sea
girl, you are dynamite
you blast away my melancholy
girl, you are dynamite
and you remind me how I should be
for so long I watched from the side
but now I found in you my guide
you're the melody and I'm the chords
and together we will rule the world
girl, you are dynamite
and maybe it's the way to my heart

Into the sun
02:51
|
|||
to the sun
ride further into the sun
chasing after a mirage
we ride into the sun
the air is trembling
at horizon
over sandy hills
the desert sun is rising
thirst for life
as the thirst for water
and with every step
the air is getting hotter
there's no shadow to
be in hiding
sun is burning
light is blinding
there's no sweat left
on our skin went red
crazy thoughts are flaring up
in my exploding head
is there still a chance
that we can survive?
is there still a chance
that we can stay alive?
we see the mirages
where our wishes thrive
but they dissapear
each time when we arrive
na-na-na
na-na-na
na-na-na-na
na-na-na

Hard times
02:58
|
|||
the small birds
are fleeing to the south
they know that
the winter brings the cold
these hard times
you say they're not for love
the feelings
alone are not enough
but you can trust me how I feel
see it in my eyes now
and these words are just for you
read them from my lips now
you're the only on my mind
see it in my eyes now
an arrow went straight through my heart
can you see it's bleeding now
the flowers
are deep below the snow
the ice wind sings
the only song he knows
this longing
it's growing from inside
I want you
with every part of mine
and you can trust me how I feel
see it in my eyes now
and these words are just for you
read them from my lips now
you're the only on my mind
see it in my eyes now
there's my blood to warm your soul
can you see it's freezing now

I'm young
04:16
|
|||
I'm young and made of anger and thorns
I'm young and made of anger and thorns
I'm young and made of anger and thorns
my voice is built of screams and thorns
if you want pretty sight, look the other way
if you want silence, better cover your ears
if you like sweet things, you will not like this taste
if you need your harmony, run to your happy place
cause I'm young and made of anger and thorns
I'm young and made of anger and thorns
I'm young (I'm young) and all I'm up to is wrong
give up cause we will not get along
if you search for peace, you'll find violence
if you call for sanity, watch for emotional storm
if you look for patience, you'll find frustration
and if you want calm words, you'll not get what you want
cause I'm young and made of anger and thorns
I'm young and made of anger and thorns
I'm young (I'm young) and all I'm up to is wrong
I'm young and there's no place I belong
teacher, teacher, what's this lesson about?
master, master, I can't master your art
doctor, doctor, what's this sickness i've got?
brothers, sisters, I'm to wild for this world
and I'm young and made of anger and thorns
I'm young and made of anger and thorns
I'm young (I'm young) and all I'm up to is wrong
you say that I don't care but my will is strong
if you look at me you will understand
that I'm not a reflection of you
if you hear me you will understand
that your preaching is wasted on me
cause I'm young and made of anger and thorns
I'm young and made of anger and thorns
my rage burns from the day I was born
but my life is not for your judgement and scorn

Mind and soul
03:53
|
|||
you've got a heart
you've got a head
but life is strange
so be prepared
you've got a soul
you've got a mind
but they don't get along
as you will find out
so you can choose your mind
or can choose your soul
try to be wise
or try to be cool
try to be happy
or to get control
try to be balanced / fine / true
yeah-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh
get control
what a joke
yeah-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh
mind and soul
mind and soul
yeah-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh
you've got your hands
you've got your feet
they're working fine together
to fulfill your needs
but not your mind
and not your soul
they're fighting over you
to get control
so you can choose your mind
...
what a joke
and you still think that you can get it all
look inside you
and you still think that you are the one in control
so you can choose your mind
...
to be true
true to what?
yeah-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh
mind or soul
mind or soul
yeah-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh

Shining under pressure
03:15
|
|||
I am shining under pressure
I am shining under pressure
I am shining under pressure
I am shining under pressure
and I see someone laughing in the mirror
his eyes are cold like stone
and suddenly his face is disappeared
but laughing still goes on
and I see a wolf who's sitting on a hill
and howling to the moon
the sun comes up, the wolf he's went away
but howling isn't gone
I am shining under pressure
I am shining under pressure
I am shining under pressure
I am shining under pressure
sometimes life is to hard to keep your mind
sometimes life is to hard to keep your mind
sometimes its just to hard to keep your mind
sometimes life is to hard to keep your mind
but
I am shining under pressure
I am shining under pressure
I am shining under pressure
I am shining under pressure
so
I will shine, I will shine
like a diamond I will shine
I will shine, I will shine
shine this little light of mine
I will shine, I will shine
like a diamond I will shine
I will shine, I will shine
and my shine will make you blind

Endless sky
04:44
|
|||
now I'm lying on a grass field
on a sunny sommer day
wanna get rid of my worries
and to dream myself away
and I'm looking up above me
and I really don't know why
don't know why I never noticed
and I see for the first time
blue, clear blue sky
blue, clear blue sky
blue endless sky
blue endless sky
endless sky
I was soldier in a battle
where a wandering bullet flew
and it hit me in my bowel
so that instantly I knew
that today might be the last day
which I'm living on this earth
but I'm thankfull that this last view
gives this moment such a worth
blue, clear blue sky
...
and I guess that in tomorrow
I will not see it again
and I feel a bit of sorrow
that I lost my life in vain
but who knows what fate will bring us
maybe it's not over yet
maybe this wonderfull blue sky
is the place to which i'll get
blue endless sky
...

Slow ride
03:32
|
|||
yes, every man has his own way
some are the big streets, some the highways
I'm driving slow, but I feel okay
cause I enjoy the sights on the sideways
some men rise fast and fall harder
some are icemen, some firestarters
but I prefer the warmth of the human hearts
cause rock and blues is what I care for
what I care for
some like the things that are pretty
they want it all - that's pretty greedy
I never said that I'm the one who's free from blame
but I try my best to do things my way
this restless world is a battle
I'm not afraid of weapons rattle
but I keep my cool and choose my own fights
cause rock and blues is what i'd fight for
what I'd fight for
some waters're deep as they are old
some fresh and wild, young and so bold
my soul feels old but my heart is young
one part's the blues, rock's the other
some men deny being animal
and some don't know what a brain's for
I'm just a man and take the middle path
made out of flesh and I have soul
yes, we have soul
the life has a hard beating rythm
with the lyrics sparse or unwritten
but I don't mind if it still has some soul
cause rock and blues is what I live for
sometimes we're sad, sometimes happy
like men the moods have their own ways
so let us ride along the paths of life
enjoy our time and meet someday
lets meet someday
