LYRICS

This heartache
It takes too long now
It's time to make a giant step forward
This heartbreak
It leads to nothing else
But the same old sad songs
With the same old sad words
All over again
All over again

This heartache
It takes the long road
It ain’t the right track, no
It just takes you back to
Heartbreak
Not a romantic place
All you see there in the mirror is mistakes
All over again
All over again

All I’ve got to do is find somebody else
Someone with a different style
Send all disappointment straight to hell
And carry on with a smile

This heartache
Just say so long now
Your life is ending before you know it
The day breaks
The birds repeat their songs
But birds ain’t stupid they just don’t want to belong
To no one, to no one, to no one

This heartache

Send all disappointment straight to hell
And carry on with a smile

HEY

Hey, I just woke up and discovered I found a way
A way to love you without being so afraid
To keep on living without wanting you to stay around
And to listen to all the worries
And the thoughts that bring us down
No it’s better not to hurry, it’s okay

We had our share of disagreement and despair
Now it’s time to leave the capsule if we dare
I think I love you more than ever
I really care about our love
So turn these strings into wings
And start the engine and take off
And fly into the future and just sing

(You’ll find a way, don’t be afraid)

Hey, I just woke up and discovered I found a way
A way to love you without being so afraid
To keep on living without wanting you to stay
I think I love you more than ever
I really care about our love
So turn these strings into wings
And start the engine and take off
And fly into the future and sing

Hey

WATER

Once we were bright as water
There was plenty of
There was no other one
We were swimming upstream
As an unbeatable team
No doubt

Bit by bit
The color started changing
There was still plenty of life
No need for rearranging
And the cat crept in
And the cat crept out
We were playing our songs out loud
Then the doctor came in
And the doctor went out
We started living in doubt

Water
Water
Water

Now we live like sister and brother
Trying to grow our love
On very little water
Now the drought has set in
We feel the pain in our limbs
We’ve got to find a beginning again
No doubt
So let new water run in
We have been running out of it
We’ve got to finally begin again

So let new water run in
We have been running out of it
We’ve got to finally begin again

Water
Water
Water
Water
Water
Water

SOMETHING NEW

A new affair begins
I am putting on new wings
It feels good to start from scratch
Feel the joy of a new catch
All the lamps light up
Kisses filling my cup
Newness kills what should have been
I have lost now I can win

It’s a new season
There ain’t no reason
To believe in what has been
I love to hope, I hope to love you
Let’s kick off with something new

I see your eyes happily shine
Reflecting into mine
I want to freeze the state we’re in
I’d like to stop where we begin
Because in time all will change
The course of things will rearrange
All high hopes and sweet dreams
They’re just temporary themes

It’s a new season
There ain’t no reason
To believe in what has been
I love to hope
I hope to love you
Let’s kick off with something new
With something new, something new

It’s a new season
There ain’t no reason
To believe in what has been

Yes I will get over it soon
I just have to wait until time goes by
I’m still under the spell of the moon
But tomorrow there will be clear blue skies
I’m not gonna blame it on you
You did what you could and so did I
I know our love has been true
And it makes it harder to say goodbye

You are gone, I will go
You are gone, I will go
You are gone, I will go

Yes I will get over it soon
I just have to wait until tears subside
I decided to wait until noon
At noon there will be clear blue skies
I’m not gonna blame it on you
You did what you could and so did I
I know our love has been true
And it makes it harder to say goodbye

You are gone, I will go
You are gone, I will go
You are gone, I will go
You are gone, I will go
You are gone, I will go
You are gone, I will go

Go with the flow wherever it is I’ll go
I only have to exist that’s all
It’s all about surviving alone

Now that I gave up on our love
There are trains of possibilities
Stopping at my station
It’s the consequence of
The impossibility of infatuation

You are gone, I can go
You are gone, I can go
You are gone, I can go
You are gone, I can go
You are gone, I can go

You are gone, I can go

Go, go, go, go
Go, go, go, go

COUNTING TO TEN

I want to feel the change of seasons
I want it all I want it still
I want to grab before I’m leaving
I’m on the hunt for a last great thrill
I won’t hang on now
I’ve got to leave this place
Got to open up again
I’m not too fond of just repeating
Or simply do some remembering when
I’ve got to travel like I was a young kid
The more you tell me about being zen
I’ve got to know and feel what moves me
I’m sick and tired of counting to ten
I’m sick and tired of counting to ten

Slow it down

Live it now

Be sweet be sweet
You drown too fast
Breathe in breathe out
Hands and forth
Heading south is leaving north
Just look around
Hold it now
And hold your tongue
And lift your brow

Just slow it down

Just look around
Hold it now
Hold your tongue
Lift your brow
Slow it down live it now
Be sweet be sweet
Don’t drown too fast
Breathe in breathe out
Hands and forth

Heading south is leaving north

Just look around
Hold it now
And hold your tongue
And lift your brow

LOSING EVERYTHING

Losing everything
It’s so far away yet so close
The more I cling to what’s dear to me
The less I can control
It’s allright, it’s allright, it’s allright, it’s allright, it’s allright

Losing everything
It’s so far away yet so close
A big welcome to the hard days
I’ve got to go through this I suppose so
Let’s go now, let’s go now

I’ve got to face the night and it’s allright
Go

Losing everything
It’s so far away yet so close
The more I cling to what’s dear to me
The less I can control
It’s allright, it’s allright, it’s allright, it’s allright, it’s allright
Let it go now, let go now, let go now, let go now, let go now

LOVE IS COMING

Love is coming
It’s coming my way again
Love is coming my way
I know it’s coming
It’s coming my way my friend
Love is coming my way

Is there anybody going to the party?
I heard it’s a good one
I think I better go now and get started
Before I reach the end

Love is coming
It’s coming my way again
Love is coming my way
I’m sure it’s coming
It’s coming my way my friend
Love is coming my way

Is there anybody going to cure my heartache?
I know it’s a tough one
I think I better go before the day breaks
And try to be my best friend
And say goodbye to the past once again

Love is coming
It’s coming my way again

STANDING ON THE SHORE

Here we are

It’s still on
Now we know
Love ain’t gone
Dance with me
It ain’t wrong
Join me now
Sing this song

We've been standing on the shore way too long
We've been standing on the shore way too long

There you stand
Wild and free
Innocent
Wanting me
I can't wait
For our embrace
Patience now
Has lost its grace

We've been standing on the shore way too long
We've been standing on the shore way too long

(I don’t wanna be saved, not anymore)

LET'S BELONG

I love you
I’ve loved you my whole life long
Can’t let go off of you
Letting you go feels wrong

Because because of you

I write all these sing-along songs
Life is tough I know
But together we’re mighty strong

So let’s belong, let’s belong, let’s belong

I love you
I’ve loved you my whole life long
Can’t let go off of you
Letting you go feels wrong
Because because of me
You write all these sing-along songs
Life is tough I know
But together we’re mighty strong

Let’s belong
Let’s belong

Let’s belong

Let’s belong
Let’s belong
Let’s belong

Let’s belong
Let’s belong
Let’s belong (oh my sweetheart)
Let’s belong
Together we are mighty strong
Let’s belong
Belong belong
Let’s belong
Let’s belong
Together we are mighty strong

PREPARE FOR LANDING

Lifting the arms standing on one leg
Get forgetful
In love of the life I never ever lived
Take it away now
Erase and forgive

The roaring thunder slowly rolls away
The sound of the rain promises a new day
Rubbing the belly till I’m safe and sound
Prepare for landing setting foot on ground
Lifting the arms standing on one leg
Get forgetful don’t look forward don’t look back
In love of the life I never ever lived
Take it away now erase and forgive
Dive into nothingness into something real
Disconnect now you never know what it will reveal
Now the day has come to slow things down
Find some sunshine before the leaves turn brown

Now the day has come to slow things down
Find some sunshine before the leaves turn brown

PUT IT IN A BOX

Throw in the towel
Cancel trips
Stop investments
Close all curtains
Call it a day
You did your best, man

Bad vibrations
Can’t compete
With the good ones
Freeze your memories
Forge them into one
And put it in a box

Tear down the tower
Block the entrance
And burn incense
The past is certain
Analyzing it
Makes a lot of sense
But don’t you think so much
You’re wasting all the time that rests
Rest your head now
Just put the present to the test
And put it in a box
Put it in a box
Put it in a box
Put it in a box
Put it in a
Put it in put it in

In a box now
In a box now
Put it in a box now

Put it in a box now

Bye Bye bluebird

You blew my mind But now you’ve flown
I turn the page now
I close the book
And put it in a box

THE STARS ABOVE

That’s all for now

Time to close down
The sadness in your eyes
About to fade

It’s over now
No kings, queens or crowns
No new empire
No vows to be made

It’s time to move on
And praise our love
Pray to the stars above

If our love is real
There will be room to heal
The pain of losing you will soften in the end

But for now keep some distance
I’ve got to train my resistance
And see how to be just good friends

It’s time to move on
And praise our love
Pray to the stars above
It’s time to move on
And praise our love
Pray to the stars above
The stars above

HAPPY MAN

It’s so fine
It’s the final
It’s the last goodbye
There’s nothing left to say or deny
All questions have been answered
Fear and hate have evaporated
That’s why
I wave goodbye to all my fellow patients
There ain’t no need for any congratulations
I just turn around and travel back
To where it all began
And that’s in your arms
In your arms I was a happy man
In your arms there was no where or when
or what, who, how or why

It’s the final
It’s the last goodbye
No tears to shed or reasons to cry
My heart has surrendered
Successfully reanimated
That’s why
I leave the stage and get dressed for a new era
I’ve been a refugee hiding for the terror
I now turn around and travel back
To where it all began
And that’s in your arms
In your arms I was a happy man
In your arms there was no where or when
or what, who, how or why
In your arms I was a happy man
In your arms there was no where or when
or what, who, how or why

In your arms I was a happy man
In your arms there was no where or when
or what, who, how or why
In your arms
In your arms I was a happy man
In your arms there was no where or when
or what, who, how or why

ENDLESS REFRAINS

I saw you in hurt
I saw you in pain
Tangled up in words
Endless refrains
It’s all digits
At the end of the line
For good or for bad
For rise or decline

A new heart
A new mind
Over with sadness
This loss of time
Let’s make some room
Open the space
There’s nothing that equals
The end of the chase

I saw you in hurt
I saw you in pain
Tangled up in words
Endless refrains

It’s all digits
At the end of the line
For good or for bad
For rise or decline

We need a new heart
We need a new mind
Get over with sadness
This loss of time
So let’s make some room
Open the space
There’s nothing that equals
The end of the chase

(Let’s make some room
Open the space
There’s nothing that equals
The end of the chase
I saw you in hurt
I saw you in pain
Tangled up in words
Endless refrains)

YOU BLEW MY MIND

I was lost in time
I was lost in reason
I was lost in heartlessness
I got lost in rhyme
I fell out of season
I lost the east
I lost the west
I wasn’t centered
But obsessed
Until you blew my mind

I look into your eyes
And all I see is freedom
It seems such a stupid thing to sing
And now the past is all lies
I’m in your garden of eden
Songs about heartbreak are now passé
You danced to Raspberry Beret
You really blew my mind

You blew my mind
The waiting is over
My heart won’t need a chauffeur or a guide
Because you drive..
You…

Now here we are
The rest is useless
There ain’t no meaning
There ain’t no law
I see a falling star
But I ain’t got no wishes left
I have known highs
I have known lows
But I have known no one
Who’s blown my mind
Like you do

ESCAPE LANE

I fear the profane
I curse everything
That looks sacred and secular
I'll go insane
If I don't take the escape lane
To the place where it occurs
Can the light turn to green again?

I hold my breath
My lungs collapse
I want to scrutinize
What's going on inside
I've been wrapped up
In myself and in the view
I have developed on my life
Can the light turn to green again?

I'm moving on
I see the sun
But my feet
They don't recognize the ground
I'm singing this song
But my heartbeat's pushed
By another type of sound
Can the light turn to green again?
Can the light turn to green again?

Green again
Green again

GOING ON

Where are you now my love?
Are there stars or stones above?
Have you lost your memory?
Do you remember history?

Has all been completed?
Has time come for sweetness?
Has it all
Has it all been done?

Is there a way to forget?
Is it a waste to regret?
I know there still are some tapes
Some videos
Still in good shape

Has all been deleted?
Has all anger been defeated?
Has it all
Has it all been done?
Has it all
Has it all been done?

Embrace me in the sun
The race has been won
The race has been won
And the same race can only be run once
Embrace me
Embrace me

Where are you now my dear?
Have you found another stratosphere?
Are there any mouths to feed?
Any new ideas..
Somebody you..
Need to feel better?
Is there still heavy weather
Going on
Going on
Going on
Going on?

BORN IN THE SUMMER OF LOVE

In the summer I can breathe
In the sun I can believe
In the summer I can sleep
Between islands between seas
In the summer
In the summer

In the summer I can see
See the wood for the trees
In the summer I can sweep
Sweep the dust away
From behind my eyeballs
In the summer
In the summer

All set for love
No thinking of a burden
He was born in the summer of love

In the summer I can breathe
In the sun I want to believe
In the summer I can sleep (in the summer)
Between razors between leaves
In the summer (I can)
In the summer (I can)
I can breathe

He was born in the summer of love
In the summer
Begin the summer
In the summer
Begin the summer
In the summer

RED CAR

I’m driving as fast as I can
I’m a fast driver
A man on the chase
I’m trying to lose your nasty face

A red car is chasing me
A red car is part of my dreams
I’m trying to get rid of it
So it seems

You’re a good girl
How was I supposed to know?
You’re such a good girl
But why didn’t you show it to the world
What were you afraid of?
Show it to me girl
Or were you not made to love me?

Good girl, good girl
Such a good girl, good girl
Such a good girl, good girl
Such a good girl, good girl

A red car is chasing me
A red car is part of my dreams
I’m trying to get rid of it
So it seems

You’re a good girl
How was I supposed to know?
You’re such a good girl
But why didn’t you show it to the world
What were you afraid of?
Show it show it show it show it show it
Show it show it show it show it show it….
Show it to me girl
Or were you not made to love me?

GRAND AND HUMBLE

Come in a way you really feel
Come in a way that is ideal
Come in a way
That makes all liars stumble
Come in a way that’s really real
Come in a way that shows appeal
Come in a way
A way that’s grand and humble
Grand and humble

Come in a way you wanna be treated
Come in a way no one can beat and
Come in a way that makes all pain left crumble
Come in a way that’s really real
Come in a way that shows you healed
Come in a way
A way that’s grand and humble

Come in a way
Is it coming our way?

Grand and humble

Come in a way
It is coming our way
Come in a way that radiates
Come in a way that eliminates
Come in a way
That makes all your walls tumble down

SURRENDER

I hate this waiting
I’m afraid of latency
I was delayed
From the first moment on, you see
I need tons of time
And I don’t have the time
I have been waiting for a woman like you my dear
Come out of the shade
My sky’s turned blue
And if you need some time
Just take it
I know what it is

Always intrigued
By the books and the stories I know
Stories of gold
Always struck
By fiction and songs about love

But instead of this waiting
I could walk and feel weightless
Wade into your water
Get wet and act shameless
I could stop wondering
Wondering, wondering
What it is

I could walk to the stars
Hand over my heart to yours
Just because
I could be naked untouchable
Tender and tough
Surrender

Surrender
Surrender
Surrender
Surrender
Surrender
Surrender

Here I sit in this waiting room
I know it by heart
Writing my songs of gloom
As I did from the start
I described every fact
And it didn’t show me how to act

I should walk to the stars
Hand over my heart to yours
Just because
I should be naked untouchable
Tender and tough
Surrender

Surrender
Surrender
Surrender
Surrender
Surrender
Surrender
Surrender
Surrender

AWAY FROM HURT

I noticed it in time this time
I slid it back under the door
I locked my unlocked heart away
Away from hurt

I saw you coming closer to the fire
I saw the silhouette on your jaws
I saw the claws that made me hurry away
Away from hurt
Away from hurt

Like a yo-yo you kept on dangling in my way
Now it’s time to bring the hangman in
For it’s Judgement Day

I found myself saying good morning to myself
I looked under the carpet
Double-checked every drawer and little shelf
To be safe from hurt

Away from hurt
Away from hurt

I noticed it in time this time

HEALTHY MAN

And there she came to me
In a flash of serenity
Her braces twinkling
Her feet above the sea
Her hair so brilliantly
Shining down on me

All dressed up in innocence
Her smile so willingly
Truer than a movie star
She’s pointing right at me
An arrow at my heart
Is she my reward?

And I became a healthy man
Since that day, since then
I’ll never see the sea recede
As long as she
As long as she

She looked like a miracle
A long forgotten dream
A wish that had turned old
A page remained unseen
A song that I had sold
Long ago

Well she really came to me
She jumped up from the backseat
And threw away the mirror
And got down on her knees
Begging me begging me begging me
Begging me please
To be hers

And I became a healthy man
Since that day, since then
I’ll never see the sea recede
As long as she
As long as she

SUBLIMINAL

It’s so subliminal my love
It makes me keep on thinking
It makes me keep on singing
It’s so impossible to care
When my mind keeps me
From breathing solid air
I need it now
I need winds to keep my arms
From holding too tight
I need wings to release me
From all what might

It’s so subliminal my love
It keeps me from believing
It keeps me from receiving
Give me oblivion to go on
My body needs some leaving
Solid ground
I don’t need that now
I need a lot of light engineers to do the final take-off
I need experts in water
To wake up
To wake up my love

Do you want some
Of my heart?
Do you need some?
It will be singing
Wanna taste some
Of my heart?
Please taste some
Come on and taste some

(I need it now
I need wings)

Singing Singing

Give me oblivion to go on
My body needs some leaving
Solid ground
I don’t need that now

STAY ON THE ROAD

Enough
I can turn night into day
I can even steal away
From your shade
And stay on the road

Enough
I’m heading for the harbour
To rest my head
Enough
I’ll stay by the water
To keep fires wet
I’ll stay on the road

Stay on the road
On the road

Let it go
Cause tomorrow won’t show up today
Need I say
Enough

BYE BYE

It’s clear
I must get away from here
I’m not cool
I should find a new frontier
Clear the way for a clean cool hot summer
Where there is no room for you
I’ll pour some ice
On one of my black virtues
And I’ll tiptoe so slowly
Away oh so slowly
Out of the blue
Where everything will fit again
I’ll dance and sing
And I will not remember when
You came into my life
Bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye

HIPS OF THE YEAR

Honey, take your lips of the gear
We’ve got to slow down, the border’s too near
Your crying makes me weak
Your constant dying is a mean mean streak
Your beauty ain’t free
Slim waist-line, the hips of the year
You’re far too fine to be criticized, my dear
Body body
Massage for the blind
You’re the devil dressed as the queen of design
Your beauty ain’t free
Do you know you’ve got problems to solve
Loads, heavy loads
Or would you rather be eaten by wolves
Wolves in sheep’s clothes
I love you, but I’m your enemy
You raise your army to terrorize me
And my white flag is blinding your handsome eyes
Can I ever stop waving
Waving goodbye?
Goodbye

WEIGHTLESS

I wish that I was free

I wish that I was weightless
But I’m afraid that that ain’t me
I haven’t flown for ages

I will do that tomorrow
I will do that tomorrow
Will do that tomorrow?
I can’t do it today

My wildest dreams they have been chained
All pictures they have been counted
But I don’t feel quite as a saint
I just haven’t finally found it

I will do that tomorrow
I will do that tomorrow
Will do that tomorrow?
I can’t do it today
Will you be there tomorrow
Will you leave today?

Now I wish that you were here
In the heydays of this autumn
I would explain you about my fears
I would tell you how I’ve caught them
And I would say tomorrow
I would say tomorrow
I would say tomorrow
Will be the day
Will you be there tomorrow
Will you leave today?

ONLY FOR A MOMENT

Nothing’s changed
Everything remains the same
No arrangements to be made
I’ve been caged
The bars they won’t give in tonight
In spite of my rage

It’s only for a moment
It’s only for a moment
It’s only for a moment of time

It’s just a question of time
It’s just a question of time
It’s just a question of time for me

Nothing’s changed
Everything remains the same
No arrangements to be made
I’m deranged
And the walls they won’t give in tonight
In spite of my rage

It’s only for a moment
It’s only for a moment
It’s only for a moment of time
It’s just a question of time
It’s just a question of time
It’s just a question of time for me

For me and you
For me and you
For me and you
For me

Nothing’s changed
Everything remains the same
No arrangements to be made

SLOW MAN

I’m holding the bad news
Miles away from the light
Burying the darkness

In the coldest of my nights

I don’t wanna fight

I cherish your perfume
In the body shop of my mind
I can never hurt you
As long as I am blind

I am too much in love
To rescue me
To rescue you
Rescue me

You are the brightest moment
In my entire life

It didn’t bring us home yet

It just shut out every other light
I don’t wanna fight

I thought it was a good omen
To dream of you all night
But what if I’m just a slow man?
What if I’m just messing with the time?

I am too much in love
To rescue me
To rescue you
I am too much in love
To rescue me
To rescue you
I am too much in love
To rescue me
To rescue you
Rescue me

HOW TO DRAIN THE SWAMP?

Text: R.A. Treffers
Music: R.A. Treffers

How To Drain The Swamp
Forgetting ain’t easy
Expelling all the love you’ve lived for
How To Drain The Swamp
Burning opportunities given
Blowing up the main square ain’t easy
How can I smoke you out of your holes
And put you on the mantle shelf
Give you a place in my heart
A place that’s easy
A place where you can rest the rest
Of the days ahead
A place to remember
A place from the past

How To Drain The Swamp
Obessions are like insects
When you chop off the head
The body keeps on teasing you
How to drain the swamp
When sadness can only sweeten
When a wound is a flower
That grows in every season
How can I teach you what I’ve learned
Now that schools are out forever
I’m preaching in a church
Without believers
A church where I confess
I didn’t do anything but my best
A church to sing in
A church to believe in
When war is over
The earth still smokes
I see you swaying with your guns
While all excitement is long gone
Baby please please go
Now watch me close, baby
Here I go
Flying high on broken wings
While other birds joyfully sing
Old winds won’t blow again

When love is a house of terror
Outworldly imagery
Is all we had love
How To Drain The Swamp
When peace talks are based on errors
How to retain the grains of love, love

HEART SURGERY

Each time we try
To make up and reconcile
I pray it’s the last time we try
Each time we decide
It would be better to hide away
I pray it’s our last goodbye

Why do the love birds still fly?
They’ll never die as long as you’re around
Each day I pray
To be freed from thought
But no God can cut you loose from me
And the days linger on
I sing song after song
I’m in my room
Waiting for heart surgery

Why do the love birds still fly?
They’ll never die as long as you’re around
Why do our cars still collide
While there is no other car in sight?

Each time we try
To break up and say goodbye
I am cast by an unbreakable spell
I saw the devil in your eyes
And I wisely stepped aside
Now I got lost on your highway to hell

SINGLE NIGHT

This is not a single night
A space between two guiding lights
This is not a good old time
Where younger days still brightly shine
This is not a simple night
Where angels sing by riversides
This is not an easy ride
A road that leads me through the night

I know what you want
I know who you are
I know where you want to be right now
I know where you go
I know how you know
I know why you beg the sky for snow

This is not a starry night
No lucid blinking in our eyes
This is not a milestone, no
No blessing to preserve our soul
This is the most exciting night
But I don’t know it yet
I’m just asking for a light
Someone saw the lightning strike
Clear and absolute
As if someone had to die tonight

I know what you want
I know who you are
I know where you want to be right now
I know where you go
I know how you know
I know why you beg the sky for snow
I know what you want
I know who you are
I know where you want to be right now
I know where you go
I know how you know
I know why you beg the sky for snow

NAME

I know your name
I know that cursing it would be a shame to do
You’re in a frame
A timeless one
I don’t know where to put it
Although you rule my world
I know you’re not the one and only girl

I know my name
I know that wasting it would be inane to do
Life just ain’t the same
Without your madness
Everything looks pretty true
And though the truth may suit me well, my dear
I want some beauty too

I thought I knew
I thought I knew

I knew my name
I thought that life was chronological
And then you came
You put me in the greatest concert hall of love
And I faked the fame
I did as if I could sing arias

I thought I knew
I thought I knew
I thought I knew

I thought I knew
I thought I knew

I know your name
It’s something I will always recognize
I’ll remember the games
The wicked ones
And the ones that were really nice

RELAPSE IN TIME

I’ve been waiting
For a relapse in time

Been waiting to return to

I’ve been waiting
For a relapse in time

Waiting to return to

The scene of the crime
Where the lion is still sleeping
With wide-open eyes
Where the truth lies awake
In perfect disguise
Don’t go back
It’s a wasteland
It’s a waste
All that has been lacking
Will never be replaced
The cut is too deep
There’s no equivalent
To paste
Sweet days are over
They leave a bitter taste

I’ve been waiting for the moment to wake up
And leave the daydreams in my bed
As I was waiting I saw my patience grow
My chances go instead
I am still waiting for a corpse to walk
A silence to be said
Nothing is fading
And a horse won’t talk

SUNDOWN TAKE-AWAY

All it takes to take away
All hope and all despair
I could have lived another life
If you hadn’t been there

Sunrise is lightyears away
And sundown is lasting
Longer

All it takes to cut and paste
Put the facts in the right place
It takes guts to quit my love
If you don’t know how it will be replaced

Sunrise is lightyears away
And sundown is lasting
Longer
Than the day

All it takes to take away
All hope and all despair
I could have lived another life
If you hadn’t been there

Sunrise is lightyears away
And sundown is lasting
Longer
Longer
Than the day

LOVE DELAY

Won’t you take my pain away?
I’ve been waiting to get saved
I know I need some time to find back faith

But I got tired of this love delay

It’s been some time now
That you made me feel blue
Your bells they were chiming
And all I could do
Was running away from the monster I saw
Now I got lost on memory lane
In need of your love

This love delay
This love delay
Love delay
Delay
Delay
Delay…

And now I am calling you
Is that so sad?
You are calling me a fool
But ain’t you just scared?
Your friends they give you such a good advice
Don’t you dare listen
This is a dangerous life

This love delay
This love delay
Love delay
Delay
Delay
Delay…

OLD SUMMER SUN

Old poems don’t rhyme
Old mountaineers don’t climb
Old summer sun won’t shine
Old babies don’t cry
Old racketeers don’t lie
Old perfect matches don’t bring light
They don’t bring light
They don’t bring light
They don’t bring light

Old pleas don’t count
Old tunes don’t sound
Old good old love is not around
It’s not around
It’s not around
It’s not around
It’s not around
It’s not around….

Old poems won’t rhyme
Old mountaineers won’t climb
Old summer sun won’t shine

REUNION SONG

Oh baby can’t you see

There’s nobody here but me

There are no ghosts around

Oh baby can’t you see

Life ain’t bigger than what you see

And that is common ground

Can we get back seated again
Can we trade in our hate for zen
Can we rewrite our master plan?

Oh baby can’t you see
Love is blind so we can’t see
The love we haven’t found

I’d like to strike some different chords
The old ones sound so bored
There should be many new ones to be explored

Can we burn can we bury
Can we turn can we carry the urn
And hide it away forevermore?
Can we fight without worries
Can we trust that there is enough love
Worth fighting for?

Can we burn can we bury
Can we turn and carry the urn
And hide it away forevermore?
Can we fight without worries
Can we trust that there is enough love
Worth fighting for?

I’d like to strike some different chords
The old ones sound so bored
There should be many new ones to be explored

DANGEROUS WORDS

Dangerous words

There is no list

And everybody makes mistakes
I don’t want to hurt you
But I don’t play the Scrabble game
Perfectly well

Dangerous words
They fence me in
The passion’s big
The pressure’s high
I don’t deny my brain can crash
While my spider legs are in perfect control

I wish I could read your protocol
These are just faults
Faults ain’t prophetical

I wish you could read my protocol
These are just faults
Faults ain’t prophetical words

There is no list

And everybody makes mistakes
I don’t want to hurt you
But I don’t play the Scrabble game
Perfectly well

CHRISTMAS WITH ME

Are you walking down Sunset Strip?
Have you found a new relationship?
Do you want to spend Christmas with me?

When the days grow dark I start to shine
My eyes are firing off sparks at the passing time
My memories want to spend Christmas with me

Christmas with me
Christmas

Your car is driving fast but your mind is slow
You try to sell your past but no buyers show
Do you want to spend Christmas with me?

Your eyes are looking bright but your heart feels numb
You want to creep inside of the belly of your mum
Do you want to spend Christmas with me?

Christmas with me
Christmas

I see the clock tick forward
I see it, I see it
I ought to lock the door
But I leave it, leave it open
Open

ADULT RETURN

Power plants in my flower garden
Refrain me from being too light-hearted
I built so many castles
There’s no fallow left to burn
Disbelief in the ones who made us
Misconceivement ‘bout the ones who grade us
I bought so many tickets
Except an adult return

Now it’s love that makes me yearn for more

An institute is what you’ve become
A little scary a little troublesome
The child in my heart
Comes alive in your eyes
We almost die we almost lose
Our bodies not used to be so bruised
But I’m not ashamed to say I love you
I’m sick of being so wise

Now it’s love that makes me yearn for more
Love that makes me yearn for

IN LOVE WITH LOVE

Can you help it

You’re in love with love?

Can you feel the
Deeper meaning of
Your endless longing
So impeccable
Is it really unconditional?

Can you make it
On your very own?
Do you know how
To let love alone?
It’s a mystery
You don’t want to reveal
The realm of romance
Makes your day so real

Can you ever be the one for me?
Or is the starlight
In your galaxy
Way too scattered
To reach for my hand?
Are you scared of
Someone who understands?

Can you help it
You’re in love with love?

WE SHOULD HAVE BEEN STARS

Almost Under water All ghosts In slow-mo

I must go
Or would you rather

Go below?

We should have been stars
We should have been high by now
But oceans of love couldn’t wash away the damage done
Now we’re counting scars
Counting the days that pass
In slow-mo

I run for cover
Almost cold
Almost

We should have been stars
We should have been high by now
But oceans of love couldn’t wash away the damage done
Now we’re counting scars
Counting the days that pass
In slow-mo

LOVE SHOULD BE FUN

Now all systems
Become undone
It becomes risky
To blame it on the lack of sunshine
‘Hate becomes history’, we said
‘Love should be fun’
A beautiful engine
That should run without fuel
Even a mule runs faster than we do

I carefully listen
To voices inside
Intuition should shine a light
On our stalemate
It all looked simple
Love should be fun
A beautiful engine
That should run without fuel
Even a mule runs faster than we do
Now all we have to do
Is to break the engine into two

Run without fuel
Even a mule runs faster than we do
So all we have to do
Is to break the engine into two

Into two..into two..into two...
Into two..into two..into two...
Into two..into two..into two...
Into two..into two..into two...
Into two..into two..into two...
Into two..into two..into two...
Into two..into two..into two...

PLATITUDE AND ART

Beautiful and hard
Platitude and art
Satisfactory?
The lion’s lying in my arms
Claws hardly harm me
Complementary?
Home again
Don’t close the door
That’s what a house ain’t for
The house where we make love
And we make war
Balancing on what we are
The road ahead
The depth of our embrace
Will easily erase
All that’s been said
Words blur my head
That’s what love ain’t for
That’s what love ain’t for
That’s what love ain’t for
That’s what love ain’t for
That’s what love ain’t for
That’s what love ain’t for

Words blur my head
That’s what love ain’t for
That’s what love ain’t for
That’s what love ain’t for
That’s what love ain’t for
That’s what love ain’t for
That’s what love ain’t for

FADE IN FADE OUT

Now all efforts have been made
Solutions dissipate
No use to see a use in waiting
Now everywhere we move
We’re never bulletproof
We never can get back to the first
Fade-in
Fade out
What is this love all about?
Fade in
Fade out

How can I leave you alone?
You carved your name in stone
I read it on the wall between our two hearts
All the ways we move
We always lose the groove
How can we ever dance to the first fade-in?
Fade out
What is this love all about?
Fade in
Fade out

Will we ever be aware
Of all the love and care
Of all the times we tried to save ourselves?
But now it is too late
Do you believe in fate?
Do you believe we’ll ever find the first fade-in?
All efforts have been made
Solutions dissipate
No use to see a use in fading in
Fade out
What is this love all about?
Fade in
Fade out

Fade In
Fade out
What is this love all about?
Fade in
Fade out

Fade in
Fade out
Fade in
Fade out
Fade in
Fade out

THE BELONG SONG

I often said I don’t belong here
I often said I don’t belong
I often said I won’t be
I often said I won’t be long here
I often said I’m going nowhere
I often said I’m going now
I often said I’m growing
I often said I’m growing stronger
Than anyone can bear
What I say can be done
Come what may
Say the sun shines
I often said there must be something wrong here

There’s millions of things in my life that didn’t come true
But life’s not about what you say, it’s about what you do
But ‘do what I say’ is such an awfully difficult thing to obey
If someone points a finger at me I’d rather run away
While running and hiding along and between the lines
Of what is and what should be
There’s an encounter with somebody who looks an awful lot like me
They say that’s destiny, but that’s just what they say
I rather keep on looking for the truth until I fade away

I often said I can really love you
I often said I can really love
I often said I can really
I often said I’m really fond of
The sweet dreams we share

What I say can be done
What I say can be done
What I say can be done
Come what may
Say the sun shines
I often said there must be something wrong here

EVERYTHING'S CLEAR

Everything’s right
Everything’s clear
Everything’s bright
Everything’s cheerful
Everything’s near
Everything’s quiet
Everything’s here
It’s just delightful

And I know who you are
Cause I’ve read about the stars
I’ve no fear of what will come
Cause I don’t hear your demons hum
Everything’s right
Everything’s clear
Even the night
Won’t make us disappear
Even the tears
That spring to our eyes
Are just a witness
To this blissful paradise
Everything’s quiet
Everything’s here
It is delightful

Everything’s right
Everything’s clear
Everything’s bright
Everything’s cheerful
Everything’s near
Everything’s quiet
Everything’s here
It’s just delightful

OPEN ARMS

Oh almighty
God, what have I done
Is there a way to the way this affair has begun?
Oh sweet remembrance how can I overcome?
If I open my arms would you lay down your guns?

Would you lie down next to me?
Could you just cry out loud on my chest?
Or would it be the best to say goodbye?

I was a soldier on your frontline
Now I’m in the hospital
How I’d like to reload
And shoot you off your pedestal
How come you violently love me?
Baby what you’re aiming at?
Is it the hole in my heart
Or the part that’s shiny red?
Would you lie down next to me?
Could you just cry out loud on my chest?
Or would it be the best to say goodbye?

When I caress other bodies
Memories grow too strong
My heart jumps right back
To where it belongs
I doubt if I can be any longer
Any longer in doubt
I’ll let you into my heart
To never let you out
Oh grand finale
Don’t wait another day
If I’m a man I’d grab your hand
And take all your pain away
If I’m a man oh almighty
I’d jump right through the fire
Take out the sword and fight
For every inch of our desire

Would you lie down next to me?
Could you just cry out loud on my chest?
Or would it be the best to say goodbye?

And if you cry then I will try not to frown not to protest
I will do my best to do it right

THE POISON THAT I SWALLOW

The poison that I swallow
Won’t work until tomorrow
I want you I want you
I want you to know
That the poison that I swallow
And the heartbeat that I follow
Aren’t meant to end up solo
And dance the ego go-go
The poison that I swallow
Won’t work until tomorrow
Though calmness is on furlough
All open-ends are closed
There is no such a show like our show
There is no such a soul like our soul
There is no such a soap like our soap
There is no soul like our own soul

THANK YOU FOR YOUR PROMISES

I’d like to set a few things straight
I’ve got no patience left to wait
There’s a room full of stories in the way
Our own true story has been told
You bring some new ones to unfold
And you assure me you believe in me
But it’s too late
How can I believe it’s true
After all your witty moves?
Thank you for your promises
But it’s too late
It’s too late
It’s too late
It’s too late
It’s too late
I can’t sustain
I am not the keeper of the flame
Maybe someday
Maybe someday

It’s too late (it’s too late my baby)
It’s too late (way too late my baby)
It’s too late (you’re too late my baby
It’s too late

I can’t sustain
I am not the keeper of the flame
Maybe someday
Maybe someday

OK NOW

When the year is done
It’s not done yet with the fear
Progress is fun (so funny)
But no new calendar without a tear

It’s OK now
As long as I hold you in your arms
I can play with it now

My barrel’s aimed
At the quarrels from the past
Shame on the shame (so shameful)
I can pull the trigger fast

It’s OK now
As long as I defend me against your arms
I can play with it now
Through the smoke I see our dreams implode into history

Tear the calendar of the wall
Tear the calendar of the wall
Tear the calendar of the wall
Tear the calendar of the wall

It’s OK now
As long as I hold you in my arms
I can play with it now
It’s OK now
It’s OK now
It’s OK now
It’s OK now

THE PRIME OF YOUR LIFE

In the prime of your life
There’s no finest of moments
In the prime of your life
You’re the target of every romance
Your beauty your brilliance your freedom

It’s your prime

Your radiating soul can only shine

In the prime of your life
There’s no time to spent with grandma
In the prime of your life
You’re far too high to stay in Denmark

SOON

Soon I’ll find my way
Soon I’ll find my girl
Soon I’ll find the world looks lovely
I no longer have to wait, I’m not looking for a pearl
Not looking for an image of me

Soon I’ll find my way
Soon I’ll find my girl
Soon I’ll find the world looks lovely
I no longer hesitate, I’m not looking at the world
Not looking in the mirror can’t you see
I simply disagree.
What’s far away’s not reserved for me
I only wanna be at the dock of the bay.
It’s such a beautiful place
Soon I’ll find my way

Soon I’ll find my way
Soon I’ll find my girl
Soon I’ll find the wasteland’s covered with pearls
I no longer hesitate, I’m not looking at the world
Not looking in the mirror, can’t you see
I simply disagree, what’s far away’s not reserved for me
I only wanna be at the dock of the bay it’s such a beautiful place
Soon I’ll find my way
Soon I’ll find my way
Soon I’ll find my way
