Voices & Images (1988)
THAT SMILING FACE
All these words are not a rescue in my eyesNever sure about the love deep in your smile
Never sure if I'm right or if I'm wrong.
Never sure about the things which were going on and on
All this love just while you were standing near to me
Never sure about the time you spent with me
I can't stand the way you deal with friends of mine
Never sure if love's not just a waste of time.
Alle these words I try to find to say to you
I can't stand a thousand dreams I dream of you,
while you stand beside me,
while you move into my arms.
HELPLESS HELPLESS
I hear helpless voices callingrescues of imprisoned minds
Trash and waste, predumptious glory
falsehood kills the friendships
more and more
We are helpless helpless
We are helpless helpless
Proceed from the understanding
noone has the right to accuse
Preacher preaches the damned man story
party leaders try to fog your senses
We are helpless helpless
We are helpless helpless
NEIGHBOURS
Black men leaders cried for freedomwhite policemen shot them dead
The survivors were sent to prison
based on laws which no one understands
White man yawning, in his armchair
smiled while watching white TV.
Hundreds of people dead or injured
he never understands this hysteria.
What can we do? What can we say?
Can it be law to kill your neighbor?
What can we do? What can we say?
Can it be wrong to end it all?
Snipers sitting in police cars
cautiously stroking machine guns
Never thought of black supression,
they were paid for every hit they have.
What can we do? What can we say?
THE GREAT COMMANDMENT
Some people suppress youthey parch you and reap a disaster
Reeducation for the infants
who demanded for an innocent instance
The great commandment
shows the contempt
between the world and their
embarrassing pavement
Believe the scholars
read the readings
realize the man who says anything.
The great commandment
shows the contempt
between the world and their
embarrassing pavement
The needies believe you
they treat you
like survivors of a disaster
Reeducation for the infants
who demanded for an innocent instance
The great commandment
shows the contempt
between the world and their
embarrassing pavement
WINNER TAKES NOTHING
Beyond the basic things I wish youI will just recall you to my love
From time to time I will show this fact
preferrably to you
although everything has gone by
I was so sure that I would get you
but it was a fight against your heart
And today, the day I've met you
is the day since I can see
that there is someone
who is better than me.
STRANGERS' THOUGHTS
In the last few hundered yearssome people lost their place on earth
they never had a chance
to stay just like they were
I can't understand why should this happen here
we should accept and learn
how to live together.
These are just some Strangers' Thoughts
These are just some Strangers' Thoughts
The reason for the pain
is always based on history
the madness in some minds
has started to do this all
I can't understand why should this happen here
we should accept and learn
how to live together.
These are just some Strangers' Thoughts...
FROM AY TO BEE
The lonely day I've met youhas changed my world
I can't exist without your smile
You pushed me up
you filled my days
you realize the right things
which can help me everywhere.
Visions have incensed and destroyed
my mind
voices would only explain
I have restricted the feelings
of shame
but we can't
put back the time.
WHERE HAS THE CHILDHOOD GONE
I remember all the dayswhich have gone by
Years before now,
when I was a child.
We ran through the town,
and held our hands.
We did all the things
which we had planned.
Where has it gone
Where has the childhood gone?
Where has it gone
Where has the childhood gone?
For thousand of times
we played down in the street
We had fun while we played
hide and seek.
We ran though the town
like we'll never do anymore.
We did all the things we should ignore.
Where has it gone
Where has the childhood gone?
Where has it gone
Where has the childhood gone?
MUSIC FOR BALLERINAS
InstrumentalI ONCE HAD A DREAM
I once had a dream in my headI worked on machines
and it made me upset
I felt so alone
She nearly had filled all my days
she let me forget all the things around me
she was all I wanted
You and me were approaching
hiding from everyone
I once had a dream in my head
but I know she had gone
She quietly moved by my side
I turned around and looked in her eyes
I felt so in love
I once had a dream in my hands
we laughed at each other
and started to dance
nothing seemed to be real
You and me were approaching
hiding from everyone
I once had a dream in my head
but I know she had gone.
THEY CATCH SECRETS
They live in a worldjust for their own
and keep secrets
hopeless isolated in a group
Give me your hand
and find solutions
try to loose your distance
waiting is a tantalizing thing
Illness institutions
won't pay for them
the whole time
for someone
only suicide shows away
Give me your hand
and find solutions
try to loose
your distance
waiting is a tantalizing thing
when they
catch secrets.
