Bring Your Boyfriend
03:13
|

|
Time has passed, years have gone by,
we’re in this now, in another life.
A bit is left from the time we had
you see, it wasn’t all that bad.
We carried on in separate ways,
gained ground again in later days.
As it’s fine our lives have gotten better,
I’d like to invite you to a get-together.
‘Cause I still like you, you’re a wonderful person
and I still like you as a part of this world,
‘cause without you, we would be missing someone
so come and bring your boyfriend with you.
As I’m happy in my life now,
I don’t hold grudges anymore.
Your many good qualities reappear,
the distance of time has made them clear.
Appreciation is overdue,
yet I had no chance to say “thank you”.
As it’s fine our lives have gotten better,
I’d like to invite you to a get-together.
‘Cause I still like you, you’re a wonderful person
and I still like you as a part of this world,
‘cause without you, we would be missing someone
so come and bring your boyfriend with you.
I’m curious about your new one
and I’d be honoured to introduce my love to you!
‘Cause I still like you, you’re a wonderful person
and I still like you as a part of this world,
‘cause without you, we would be missing someone
so come and bring your boyfriend with you.
‘Cause I still like you, you’re a wonderful person
and I still like you as a part of this world,

Black Friday
02:38
|
|||
|
The city’s shining so bright, much brighter than the moonlight.
A loud and constant sound from the top down to the ground.
And everyone seems busy, such a crowd - you feel dizzy.
The long story is short, fat cats beg for your support.
Black Friday on their minds.
This overstimulation, every year a new sensation.
Per-cent’s off will guarantee, you’ll be on a spending spree.
‘Cause if you want to take the lead, there’s stuff you desperately need.
The long story’s re-run, every year the same old fun.
Black Friday on your mind.
And I’m still sitting there and it seems that I don’t care.
The Friday afternoon gets dim, my spam-box is full to the brim.
So I should hurry up but still not in the mood to join this anthill.
Guess, I am doing it my way, the weekend’s near, no more to say.
Just Friday on my mind.

As Long as We Can Dance
05:16
|
|||
|
I couldn’t get any good sleep this week
as the flat’s already hot as hell.
Dry and dying leaves and grass outside,
the hottest June by now has something to tell.
Blue sky, sunshine and no rain in sight,
a dream of summer holidays at home.
but when did we have the last white Christmas Eve?
What’s going on here in our moderate zone?
Well, that is sadly strange – we witness a climate change
but there is nothing we can do.
The markets always judge and they don’t care that much.
The ones that do are just a few.
Our risk is way too high, it costs too much to try
and would reduce the R.O.I.
So boy, there is no time to rest,
we have to feather our own nest.
And we must take our only chance
as long as we can dance!
But every latest summer marks new peaks,
more and more heatwaves we have to pass.
But this won’t change and it will pick up speed
as we enhance issuing exhaust gas.
The greatest threat to mankind and we leave our kids behind.
Is that responsibility?
There’s gonna be a lack, money can’t get us back.
How do we wanna enter history?
Let’s do our household chore right now on the dancefloor.
The party isn’t over yet!
So folks, there is no time to rest,
we have to keep our only nest.
And we must master our last chance
as long as we can dance!
That’s why we have to strive to change our way of life,
a serious emergency.
The clock is ticking fast to learn lessons from the past,
the price for inactivity.
So folks, there is no time to rest,
We have to keep our only nest.
And we must master our last chance
as long as we can!

Flawless Notes
02:43
|
|||
|
I start early to seize the day.
Focus on the head and front.
The golden goose, I’m on my way.
But who decides what I hunt?
Is this the only way saleable sound should be today?
And is this the only reason we don’t have time?
Or could it be that listeners just care no more?
The music industry obeys that new diktat:
Overproduced, flawless notes.
Perfect bodies meet the quotes.
Striving for a winning scheme.
Straight to the point, into the charts.
Dead fish swim against the stream.
But can this still be known as art?
Is this the only way saleable sound should be today?
And is this the only reason we don’t have time?
Or could it be that listeners just care no more?

Overproduced, flawless notes.

Significance
03:12
|
|||
|
In a time where one can do nothing right,
fulfilled with desperation and the inner fight:
I don’t wanna harm anyone and I don’t know if I do.
I can’t be how I want to be but now this is of
great significance! Significance!
It’s really hard to believe it’s not a dream,
plans collapse just like a house of cards and so does the self-esteem.
Maybe that’s the time to step back and remember what’s dear to me
to free myself from burdens, focus on what is of
great significance! Significance!
When darkness yields and light returns I’ll have my lesson learned
to get a good turn out of it and to treasure what’s of
great significance! Significance! Significance! Significance!

Innocent World
05:43
|
|||
|
See the tiny, little babies,
innocent with those big eyes.
They don’t know what awaits them
as they just had life’s sunrise.
Magazines, TV and word of mouth
advertising what’s a must.
They promise you will have the best of all
if you give them all your trust.
Imprisoned in a hamster wheel
we try to match today’s norm.
The good faith of providing more
could be the silence before the storm.
We should think about the values
we teach by following the crowd.
Or strive for individual tone –
which one is gonna makes us proud?
Do we really live in this innocent world
that we play for ones we love?
Aren’t those developments just quite absurd
and we need to comprehend and rise above?
Which world we gonna leave the little ones,
where ideals grow quicker than the wealth?
Where cherry picking and using elbows
count more than feelings, bliss and health.
Is it ethically acceptable at all
to teach the everlasting growth?
Can we ever guarantee a better life than ours?
Are we so sure to take an oath?
Do we really live in this innocent world
that we play for ones we love?
Aren’t those developments just quite absurd
and we need to comprehend and rise above?
We have an obligation to help them keep their right to feel:
The beauty of a flower, enjoying fresh air after rain, …
Those moments are way stronger than all the envy that’s in vain.
Do we really live in this innocent world
that we play for ones we love?
Aren’t those developments just quite absurd
and we need to comprehend and rise above?

No Silent Rebel
05:57
|
|||
|
I am a rebel man almost no one knows.
With my own point of view – agree or oppose.
You see me working, you see me at school.
At first sight nothing special at all - with my personal rule.
I am a rebel man, not hiding it well.
Got ethical maxims, got my story to tell.
Sometimes part of factions, sometimes a lone wolf.
In this world a lot must be done – blackened by the fools.
I am no silent rebel.
A thorn in quite a few people’s eyes.
Reflect in black or white emotions.
But they can’t, can’t knock me out, knock me out.
I am a rebel man who can polarize.
Can’t let this just go on, well-aware of the price.
On one hand there are people seeing what I see.
On the other my haters tryin’ to muzzle me.
So I keep going on as I am called to my way.
The most don’t give me hearing but they’ll see it one day.
All the signs speak the language which I note and found out.
As like now there’s no future and I have no doubt.
I am no silent rebel.
A thorn in quite a few people’s eyes.
Reflect in black or white emotions.
But they can’t, can’t knock me out, knock me out.
I am no silent rebel.
A thorn in quite a few people’s eyes.

But they can’t, can’t knock me out, knock me out.

Tears
03:19

|
He did everything to win a young lady’s heart
empathically caring and humorously smart.
But she was so rude, she was so cruel,
she just used him, treated him like a fool.
And all he could see, has to let her be,
in tears.
Someone he loves lies down in bed,
the person’s ill, soon she’ll be dead.
But he cannot help, he cannot heal,
that’s how horrible he has to feel.
And all he could leave, simple and brief,
are tears.
Now he’s waiting for the rain,
he is filled with all of these fears.
For taking away his pain,
for washing away his tears.
There comes a time when he feels no pain no more,
there starts a healing of all what was sore.
And he carries on, he starts life anew,
now he has won, stopped feeling blue.
There’s no aching heart, no tearing apart,
no tears.

Much occurs way too early, unexpected and fast.
Circumstances had their time but now belong to the past
but our memories remain, your legacy lives on,
though it seems, you’re forever gone.
Unforgettable the time with our 6-strings in our hands,
tried to play and rearrange songs by our favourite bands.
Each time we jammed, you had a bunch of new ideas
but now we’re left alone in tears.
We look at our old pictures.
Somehow you’re still with us.
With certain songs there is a feeling, a strange kind of …
Like we can hear you sing along them from up above.
There’s someone missing on the isle you love
and your guitar still waits for you.
Yeah, your guitar waits for you.
La tua chitarra suona sempre per noi
da Ischia all’Austria.
Uncountable the nights when we went out for a beer
to “Casablanca” or to “Davis” for some good stuff to hear.
Dear friend, your charismatic soul is still well-known
but now we have to go there alone.
We keep your candles burning.
Somehow you’re still with us.
With certain songs there is a feeling, a strange kind of …
Like we can hear you sing along them from up above.
There’s someone missing on the isle you love
and your guitar still waits for you.
Yeah, your guitar waits for you.
La tua chitarra suona ancora per noi
e nei nostri cuori tu vivrai.
You watch us on our way
on which we’re blown by the wind.
With the same spirit and vibe, every day and every night.
One day we’ll meet again!
With certain songs there is a feeling, a strange kind of …
Like we can hear you sing along them from up above.
There’s someone missing on the isle you love
and your guitar still waits for you.
Yeah, your guitar waits for you – oh yeah, waits for you.
Yeah, your guitar waits for you.
La tua chitarra suona ancora per noi
e nei nostri cuori tu vivrai.
