I just can’t fight it that lack is so much stronger always been taught myself and it felt like crime
Blue suede shoes and fancy ties on
I used to drag ‚em like a crown
I confess I always wanted to be a clown I just can’t help myself
I can’t deny it the nights were gettin‘ longer and I always have lost myself no lights there to shine I thought I can ride it been always playin‘ wrong now don’t wanna betray myself and keep my own line
Blue suede shoes and fancy ties on
I used to drag ‚em like a crown
I confess I always wanted to be a clown
I just can’t help myself
I just can’t hide it can’t do it any longer
always been caught myself and wasted my time
I just can’t fight it that lack is so much stronger always been taught myself and it felt like crime
Blue suede shoes and fancy ties on
I used to drag ‚em like a crown
I confess I always wanted to be a clown
I just can’t help myself
Blue suede shoes and fancy ties on
I used to drag ‚em like a crown
I confess I always wanted to be a clown
I just can’t help myself
I just can’t help myself
I just can’t help myself
reality has changed
A colored plastic water-gun, with Flower-Pictures labelled on
keeps us innocent.
„Let us bake bread together“ Thomas says
He wears that worn out apron with the inscription „Ibanez“ He puts away his lap steel, a plan grows in his head „Time to create a tasty and fluffy loaf of bread!“
„Give us today our daily bread“ Thomas` mantra resounds While he blends yeast and water till the flour drowns
He adds salt and affection on to his kneading stone
God bless the Man that bakes his own!
Now Thomas, listen to the old woman’s wisdom in your head and let it rise inside you and spread
(It says: ) Love doesn’t sit on a bank like a rock-
It has to be made like bread
It has to be made like bread“
Now don’t say our Thomas is the bread and water type
He stirs in milk and honey, patience and delight
the process seems so easy- the family goes mad
From Thomas kitchen raises a smell of freshly baked bread!
They say „You can take a man`s money but you can’t take his bread“
„You gotta know which side the bread is buttered on
and you spare yourself the regret“
Take plenty seeds and cinnamon and leave the scent to soar an aroma so delicious you gotta ask for more!
Now Thomas, listen to the old woman’s wisdom in your head and let it rise inside you and spread
(It says: ) Love doesn’t sit on a bank like a rock-
It has to be made like bread
It has to be made like bread“
Now, Thomas can craft sweetness and savoury delights, too maple dripping juices, a rainbow of sensations to chew,
the best of all worlds from the oven, honest food for soul, music to your tastebuds, a broken heart made whole.
„No more store bought bread for us“ Thomas disciples swear „Leave out on Kelloggs cornflakes, peanut flips and Jelly Bears Don’t touch Nestles junkfood- this rubbish never letz you thrive“
Let Thomas` heartfelt scrumptious bread keep you happy and alive!
Now Thomas, listen to the old woman’s wisdom in your head and let it rise inside you and spread
(It says: ) Love doesn’t sit on a bank like a rock-
It has to be made like bread
It has to be made like bread
I got 1.500 Bucks in my pocket to make a night I won’t forget.
I got a white shirt, blue jeans, a big belt buckle
and my whole damn body is set
There are four-inch-blades under my arms
like James Byron Dean who’s smoking a spliff.
I got a black tie, gold chain, my blue suede shoes on
and a sticky little Rock and Roll quiff.
I wanna pick that, dig that, rig up, never a fool.
You wanna flash me, lash me, mash me, you’re start’n‘ to drool.
It’s much too late for goodbye,
with a lotta dope on a non-stop flight,
and I admit, I’ll always be – pretty and cool.
I got a nice little horse from my stable in my 57 chevrolet.
She is a rip tide, big sight, ready for a love fight
and always has her hands on my hay.
I got a million dollar home, where I’m livin‘ alone,
cause there ain’t nobody cooler than me.
Its got green grass – more or less, enter with a gold pass,
in my pool you see infinity.
I wanna pick that, dig that, rig up, never a fool …
I wanna pick that, dig that, rig up, never a fool …
Quattro, cinque, sei, in che modo e mio senso
perché, chi ne sono non lo so.
Un‘, due, tre, dammi, dammi la tua voce
Quattro, cinque, sei, con la mia non trovo pace e se,
e che non lo sentiro
Che fortuna che ne siamo
e ne siamo come andiamo
e n’andiamo sempre dritto
e non cambiamo mai
Che fortuna che ne andiamo
e n’andiamo come siamo
noi che siamo sempre dritto
sempre dritto fin‘ in giu
Un‘, due, tre, scalda, scalda la mia mano
quattro, cinque, sei, fin che non mi sento strano e poi,
questo sogno se ne va
Un‘, due, tre, chiudi, chiudi i miei occhi ,
Quattro, cinque, sei, che non vedo, non mi tocci e poi,
questo peso cadera
Che fortuna che ne siamo , e ne siamo come andiamo
e n’andiamo sempre dritto e non cambiamo mai .
Che fortuna che ne andiamo e n’andiamo come siamo.
Noi che siamo sempre dritto , sempre dritto fin‘ in giu .
Noi, che andiamo sempre dritto
, Noi, che andiamo dritto
,
ma e ’na fortuna che n‘ andiamo sempre dritto
, noi, che andiam dritto
,
ma e ’na fortuna che n’andiamo sempre
Un‘, due, tre, fammi, fammi questo ballo
,
Quattro, cinque, sei, che non si vede il mio mallo
mai!
Se il mio verso sfumera
Che fortuna che ne siamo…
in darkness and cold its easy to fear
My mind is wondering, reflecting inside
perceiving the sound of new year`s light.
Day by day by the end of the year
preserving rich memories of moments so dear
Anguish and sorrow become harder to hide
Our perception is nothing but a trick of the light.
Breath by breath by the untrodden year
quiets the mind in the now and the here
When humor and patience conspire inside
the old moment`s lost and a new one arrives.
Time after time in frustration and tears
stay true to your laughter stay true and sincere
While life as we loved it is nowhere in sight
Remember you `re human: so shine alight
Night by night towards the end of our time
in the presence of spirits and beings divine
Mind ist a cloud – just passing us by
Consider your heart it`s the infinite sky!
Breath by breath by the untrodden year
quiets the mind in the now and the here
When humor and patience conspire inside
the old moment`s lost and a new one arrives.
Deep love and affection will always mean so much.
Keep on caring for each other, give a friendly wink or smile,
Be honest and true and don’t ever let your loving ones get out of touch.
That’s what it’s all about
in my castle in a sky, in my castle in the sky,
that’s what it’s all about.
Listen to the elders, lend a helping hand,
say a word of comfort and be kind to everyone,
Be a grateful son, a loving dad, a good reliable friend.
Go on and gain your wisdom and get rid of all what’s gone.
That’s what it’s all about,
it’s my castle in a sky, it’s my castle in the sky.
Make sure ya life is full of joy n always keep your soul of love, love, love,
In my castle in a sky, in my castle in the sky.
ooh, in my castle in a sky, my castle in the sky,
my castle in the sky …
about the people and what makes me feeling blue
Is what I see of what some do
for to have some fun, but I ain`t got a clue
So tell me please, what am I supposed to do
to be somone who`s quite like you?
I read it on a paper’s side
A Bag Pipe Band appears tonight
They wrote „It’ll take your breath,
You must have seen!“.
So I picture me sitting in a row
In the very front, for the worse to go
If this is he’ll, I thought,
I’d be right in between.
Should I rumble thru the streets in stinky
silly suits and a purple binky
If I’d had not left a rest of stance in me?
Or jump out of a plane instead
but why on earth should I be that mad?
It’s cold up there and it’s windy, pardon me!
That’s what I could do,
it might be fun, now that’s for sure
but I don’t know, ‚cause now that I think
I could rather bang with a hammer on my hand
And here’s to you: I guess that’s what I rather do
I heard of some, and that’s phenomenal
Who paints for me an animal
That gives me strength and leads me thru‘ the night
And if it isn’t so, we’ll then my dear
Remember good what you ‚bout to hear
You then just don’t believe with all your might
That’s what I could do,
it might be fun, now that’s for sure
but I don’t know, ‚cause now that I think
I could rather bang with a hammer on my hand
And here’s to you; I guess that’s what I rather do
I could talk to my neighbour she`s on telling the news
about everyone’s bad who don’t follow her rules
And all of them one day shall burn in hell
I’m desperate now and after all
I put a saying on my wall
Though I haven’t got a clue what it wants to tell
That’s what I could do,
it might be fun, now that’s for sure…
Coda)
My story’s told, now just look at me
I’m no better man and that’s plain to see
But I do think, in our pants we should not pee
So I make a stand and swear on eternity
No matter who am I supposed to be
For as long as I know it ‚d be always me
Like back in the summer – of 1975
On vacation – we drove a Hippie Van
6 weeks all over Europe – The dearest time I ever had
In Summer 75
75
it was hot all along the Atlantic coast – we wore tie-dye shirts
we had long hair – and there was music everywhere
we drank French wine – and we ate French baguettes
We played guitar – and smoked hand-rolled cigarettes
In Summer 75
75
Now that I‘m old and gray – and time has left its mark,
I am dreaming of Summer 75
I put on an old record – and I open a bottle of wine
the music of the 70s – brings back the good times
I look at the old photographs and I feel fine
The party is long over – but memories come to mind
Of Summer 75
looking for adventure, a story from outer space,
I’m gonna see you now!
Hurry to catch the next train, down to the german’s south.
passing friendly Nuremberg, a pretzel in my mouth
and I see you now!
Do a slight turn to Australia, without the letters A and L
make a visit to the mountains to see if all works well.
and I see you now! And how! Oohoo, Oohoo!
I hear you calling with my voice,
cause my heart don’t have a choice.
That’s just what I mean, it’s the best I’ve ever seen
I’m the European, I am the European …
Hitch-hike on the highway, heading down to Rome.
A messed up Colosseum, it almost looks like home,
so I see you now!
Find a friend called Bardolino, so I swapped up east and west,
way up to good ol‘ Switzerland but wake up in Budapest, still see you now.
well, I see you now. Oohoo, Oohoo!
I hear you calling with my voice ….
Calling home from Greece while I feel the Athen’s sun
to discuss with all the gods there: „Am I Poseidon’s son?“
Make a long boat trip to „la France“ coming in from sea,
then Spain, the Dutch and Belgium too, now that’s enough for me,
I think I saw you now.
Going back to where my home is, my heart, my woman, too.
and I face the perfect living, that’s right for me and you.
Where I’m not alone,
I think I’ll stay at home. Oohoo, Oohoo!
I hear you calling with my voice ….
Seguendo la luna, è penso á tè
È buio la notte, mi manca senti´ tuo respiro
Magari anche tu ora pensi á me
È forse cosi anche tu non riesci á dormire
Lo so ché cosi, ché lo sai ché tornerò
Mi tieni, mi tiene quando mi stanco
Fammi far´ sentire ché chi sei
Mi stringerai la mano quando piangerò
Ti sento qui vicino
Vicino á me
Era lunga la notte, il sole sta per salire
Fra poco un nuovo giorno sveglierà
Passando le strade il vento mi fa capire
Forse solo un sogno conterà
È forse cosi, che la vita è solo emozione
Se è forse cosi, si accende con te
Mi tieni, mi tiene quando mi stanco
Fammi far´ sentire ché chi sei
Mi stringerai la mano quando piangerò
Ti sento qui vicino
Vicino á me
Passando un sogno, seguendo tè
Mi dice che mi manca tuo sorriso
Passando un sogno, io penso a te
dicendo che un giorno tornerò
È mi metto á dormire vicino á tè
Mi tieni, mi tiene quando mi stanco
Fammi far´ sentire ché chi sei
Mi stringerai la mano quando piangerò
Ti sento qui vicino
Vicino á me
Io ti tengo, ti tengo quando ti stanchi
Ti faccio far sentire, che chi sono
Ti stringerò la mano quando piangerai
Mi senti qui vicino?
Vicino á te, vicino á te, vicino á te
two fish in a pond
our fishlets have gone
they’re set to swim on their own
dancing on crystal clear water
leaving us behind
And the tide rolls by
and I don’t know why
you’re always by my side.
We can travel and stay
in a little swedish house
water from the well
elks passing by
an easy going couple
though the easy part`s not me
And the seasons roll by
and I don`t know why
you’re always by my side.
How do you ever
Get along with a soul like me?
How do you handle
my temper and ways?
And how can I measure
what it takes me to hold my own
and how far can I strive
away?
It took me half a lifetime
to discover how
you and me work together
and I m still puzzled now
you give me space
when I need it somehow
And the years roll by
but I don’t know why
you are always by my side
When I lose myself
in fears and fantasies
theres always a simple
pure song you set free
that widens my horizon
and liberates my soul
As the years roll by
I wonder why
you are always by my side
How do you ever
Get along with a soul like me?
How do you handle
my temper and ways?
Your deep down patience
your stoic tranquility
when my head`s like a beehive
disquiet haunting me
not a single reproach
in all these years
though you had good reasons
to be cross with me
You are always by my side.
How do you ever
Get along with a soul like me?
How do you handle
my temper and ways?
With you I can live well
thrive rather than endure
old age and recession,
torn ligaments and brittle bones
grandkids cheering at the pond
let`s take a few more rounds
and knock on wood
I know we could
be always by our sides
It’s a world of greed, ego and wasting of things,
it should panic you more than it could give you wings.
All the things that you own, won’t save you for being alone.
Living your life in wealth, but it seems,
possessions can’t realize all of your dreams.
Looking for money and gold, for this is the evil and a fault – at all!
At the end of night, you’ll be in a fight,
and all of your gain, will simply go all down the drain. This is insane,
the vision you had turns out to be sour and sad, it’s goin‘ to be mad, so bad.
Imagine you’re dead and you’re gone, can you tell me, did you have a lotta fun?
Did you spoil too much time for pushing the bends
instead of takin‘ enough time for your family and friends?
Looking for money and gold, for this is the evil and a fault – at all!
At the end of night, you’ll be in a fight,
and all of your gain, will simply go all down the drain. This is insane,
the vision you had turns out to be sour and sad, it’s goin‘ to be mad, so bad.
All or nothing at all, all or nothing all
At the end of night, you’ll be in a fight,
and all of your gain, will simply go all down the drain. This is insane,
the vision you had turns out to be sour and sad, it’s goin‘ to be mad, so bad.
At the end of your days, did you choose the right ways or have you had it all?
Si dice – sentite questa storia
Si dice – di un buffo e sua vittoria Si dice – nasconda la sua gloria In un nebbio, cui ti perderai
Si dice – ma e un vagabondo
Si dice – ribalta tutto ‚ll mondo
Si dice – e il male dall profondo E non aviccinarti mai
Si dice – ma guarda che si mente
Si dice – qui siamo brava gente
Si dice – e uno che spavente
E meglio non incontrarlo mai
Jogabogo Majoga – e un brillo d’una vita che si sconderá
Jogabo – o – o – go Majoga – come un’ ombra di un sogno di libertà
Si dice – si si mette il pantalone
Si dice – con un lancio di un cannone
Si dice – ha il viso di un buffone
Nell buio non ne esco mai
Si dice – balla con la sposa
Si dice – nei fiori tutto rosa
Si dice – mo senti questa cosa,
lei non lo abbia visto mai
Jogabogo Majoga – e un brillo d’una vita che si sconderá
Jogabo – o – o – go Majoga – come un’ ombra di un sogno di libertà
With a look, oh, that leaves no doubt and you feel this moment of truth.
Consciousness losing its weight, when color takes over your black
and though you had to surrender, you still keep trying to fight back.
Nineteen is the number you’ve been looking for all of your life.
That bird came around just in time for the rest of your life.
Dancing life in a waltz
from that hill bells that tolls for you.
With your heads thru‘ the walls,
now it’s time for the Balls
Destiny don’t strike twice in a lifetime, so they say.
But when it does, I tell you, boy, don’t pull your hands away.
Nineteen is the number you’ve been looking for all of your life.
That bird came around just in time for the rest of your life.
Dancing life in a waltz
from that hill bells that tolls for you.
With your heads thru‘ the walls,
now it’s time for the Balls
Flowers in your hair and I’m by your side
I pick the strings of my guitar
I don’t know your name
And I don’t know who you are
You’re living in my dreams
I play this song for you, but it seems
It’s just another Love song – Again another love song
It’s just another love song
For me
It’s just another Love song – Again another love song
And it’s all fantasy
I put these words on a piece of paper
With your image on my mind
Like a silhouette on the top window
Of a skyscraper
A shadow that left me all behind
You’re living in my dreams
I play this song for you, but it seems
It’s just another Love song – Again another love song
It’s just another love song
For me
It’s just another Love song – Again another love song
And it’s all fantasy
Wherever I am and wherever I will be
Whatever I do and whatever I feel
Wherever I go and whatever I see
It’s just an illusion just fantasy
It’s just another Love song – Again another love song
It’s just another love song
For me
It’s just another Love song – Again another love song
And it’s all fantasy
