SEIZE YOUR DAY
Everyone's got his strength,got his weakness,
life offers more to you,
than prayer and working.
Why do you hide yourself
behind excuses?
Why don't you take your chance
and presume your own way.
Seize your day,
trust yourself,
believe in yourself,
go straight,
your own way,
seize your day.
You've got to run your world,
you've got to learn how.
Waiting to get things done,
presents no answers.
Why don't you free yourself,
clear of excuses?
Why don't you take your chance
and presume your own way...
Seize your day,
trust yourself,
believe in yourself,
go straight your own way,
seize your day.
HEAVEN (I WANT YOU)
When I look into your eyes,then I know that life's worth living,
just without you,
more or less,
there's nothing left to tell.
All the years we shared our time,
all the things we had in common,
all the crisis,
more or less,
we've nothing left to tell.
All excuses, all your plights,
all your nice ideas,
effusions of your mind,
but I'll tell you for a thousand times:
I want you going down,
just for one time.
I want you going down,
going down to the place
where you belong to.
When I woke up in your arms
and I felt myself, I'm freezing
thats unusual,
more or less,
there's nothing left that's warm.
All the years we shared our dreams,
now I know it was a nightmare,
of your loving,
more or less,
there's nothing left to loose.
All excuses, all your plights,
all your nice ideas,
effusions of your mind
but I'll tell you for a thousand times:
I want you going down,
just for one time.
I want you going down
going down to the place
where you belong to.
MELLOTRON
A simple worda litte move
a bit of a smile.
A secret place
a secret code to get inside.
We often reach that point
a mental wall
too high for us to climb.
You never know for sure
if it's worth
to get yourself behind.
All the time you'll move on
you never know how to survive
you think you'll never make it
you think you better step aside.
And all the words you want to say
are getting stuck deep inside you
and all the courage to get through
is leaving.
All I need is just
to move ahead,
but I didn't even try.
I feel like two foot tall.
MOTHER
All the warmth and the secret,where I come from,
are the things that I'm searching,
when I'm inside you,
deep inside you.
DAD
You're feeling older,then ever before
and apple-pie order,
exists no more.
But he's sending you to school,
following a common rule,
frightened by the implications,
follow by indication.
Voices whisper inside your head,
no one will believe,
'cause he's your dad.
And at night,
he came and tried,
to take your light.
And at night,
he came and tried,
to take your light.
You were not even 15,
Weaping lonesome,
there's no one to tell,
that he came
and broke the shell.
Bodies land covered with lava,
makes you feel,
like a cadavre
wish to touch the sky,
only once before you die.
Voices whisper inside your head,
no one will believe,
'cause he's your dad.
WHERE THE HAPPY LIVE
The nice and ugly,hand in hand.
Waste and velvet,
stay as friends.
The air we breath,
filled up with pain,
but no one really cares.
Show me where
the happy live -
no one is voting.
Show me where
the carefree live -
anybody there?
The peaceful and the blind
hand in hand
the weapons and soldiers,
stay as friends.
The place where we live,
filled with pain,
but no one really cares.
THESE EYES
These eyes are stones and hardlike rock and darkness
they are as blooming trees
sever with strength and green
the way they look at you
will just reflect yourself again.
These eyes are different
they change their colour into grey
these smiles are faking
they try to hide what's deep inside
These eyes are seas that flow
and foam in blue
they are as blossims soft
wide open too
and what they give to you
is beauty just before they die.
WHAT FOR
Tell me all what happens,in the name of God.
All the misunderstandings,
of the written word.
The crusader stories,
the killing,
for the true faith,
the persecution
of the jews,
all the unknown pain.
What for?
A place in heaven,
in another world?
What for?
As a final solution,
in a fight against ourselves!?
Tell me all what happens,
far away from
good and bad.
Our mental frontiers
where sense stops to explain.
Any kind of hatred,
the witch is hunting,
all the misunderstandings
which happened,
in a coloured,
christian world.
What for?
The defense of culture,
the excuse for all?
What for?
A kind of magic,
in a fascinated world!?
WAITING
I want you down,on your knees,
but feel better waiting,
'cause I want you begging,
begging for all that you did
and I want you to keep,
the prmises you made.
And all the time I feel,
it's all unreal,
with nothing left to lose.
The time has come
and you're the one who's waiting.
I'll be around,
when you call,
'cause you know, you know I'm waiting.
All I want is to listen,
listen to all what you'll say
and I want you to keep all
the promises you made.
And all the time I feel,
it's all unreal,
with nothing left to loose.
The time has come
and you're the one who's waiting.
ACCORDION
He's almostpart of a different side of life
rudely inspected
silent, fragile in himself.
He's just another fool
with his simple mind
who's not used
just to act like anyone
he's heaping up all this useless stuff
instead of working.
He enjoys living
means living in another world
quite unusual
but in keeping with himself.
He's just another fool
with his simple mind
who's not used
just to act like anyone
he's heaping up all this useless stuff
instead of working.
He's creating
strange appliances he invents
all the people
are just wondering.
When he's all alone
and he locked the door
something new
something strange
is happening there
you never would believe
that he could conceive
humankinds dream.
And so he's living
just in keeping with himself
he knows that one day
he'll fly.
THIS DAY
Swimming in a sea of light,all that I have is a single day,
that can't be changed.
Flower-power, deflored mine,
I'll be amused for a certain time
and I can't change it,
that's all that I can see.
This day,
nothing's gonna knock me down,
This day,
nothing's gonna make the upside down.
Midday's gone,
half a lifetime,
I'm moving around an apple-pie,
it's just refreshment,
Ladies, babies, having fun,
I know that I'm not the only one,
but I can't change it,
now it's time to leave.
This day,
nothing's gonna knock me down.
This day,
nothing's gonna make the upside down.
HANDSOME
He's a dream,see the manly way he moves,
see the trendy kind he suits
and his toothpaste-smile
doesn't need to be proved.
He's so smooth,
with the slimy things he tells,
and his parfume everywhere,
he will tell you all,
you want to hear.
He's handsome,
like a piece of wood,
just a smile to be understood.
He's handsome,
like a piece of wood
and the more that you see,
the more you will be amused.
He's alone
and he can't believe in you,
he is further from the truth,
what's best for him,
won't be good for you.
He's a fake
and the only things you see,
is a play for you and me,
but his simple mind,
is mostly mean.
He's handsome,
like a piece of wood,
just a simle to be understood.
He's handsome,
like a piece of wood
and the more that you see,
the more you will be amused.
BITTER SWEET
Bitter sweet,I need to know the way you feel,
things have changed,
but all the time I think of you,
I'm longing for the things we did,
with nowhere left to go,
the distance's growing further still.
When I see you there
I'm realizing,
all the time we knew,
we're sacreficing,
our love.
Bitter sweet,
I know it's time to face the truth,
we have changed,
but all the time I'll be with you,
we're silent on the the things we did,
Intimacy has gone.
When I see you there
I'm realizing,
all the time we knew,
we're sacreficing,
our love.
SPELLBOUND
An old mansitting in a bar
drinking alone
I saw him.
The smiling eyes
moving round and round
touched me.
His furrowed face
tells the story
of life - I was thinking
I was spellbound
by him - but I can't
hide my looking.
He's so happy
He's smiling
on his face.
And suddenly
he came over and
spoke to me
I was listening - and
all the time
he had this
uncertain smile
I was thinking.
He's so happy
He's smiling
on his face.
