ТЕКСТЫ ПЕСЕН:
ALL ALONG THE WATCHTOWER
"There must be some way out of here," said the joker to the thief,
"There's too much confusion, I can't get no relief.
Businessmen, they drink my wine, plowmen dig my earth,
None of them along the line know what any of it is worth."
"No reason to get excited," the thief, he kindly spoke,
"There are many here among us who feel that life is but a joke.
But you and I, we've been through that, and this is not our fate,
So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late."
All along the watchtower, princes kept the view
While all the women came and went, barefoot servants, too.
Outside in the distance a wildcat did growl,
Two riders were approaching, the wind began to howl.
ANOTHER SAD SONG
Well I'm sitting alone
with my guitar slidly out of tune
and it's a lovely night in June.
And I try to write a song
With a happy slomo melody
like I have tried so many times before
But I can't really tell you, what is wrong
but all that comes out is another sad song
maybe it's because I slept too long
and nobody called me on the phone.
Maybe I should hit town, have some fun
to smalltalking drink to the morning sun
maybe I should buy a brandnew dress
or learn up a usefull game like chess.
No I can't really tell you,
what is wrong
but all that comes out is another sad song
maybe it's because I slept too long
and nobody called me at the phone
Maybe I should hit town have some fun
to smalltalking drink to the morning sun
maybe I should buy a brandnew dress
or learn up a usefull game like chess.
Another lonely night, turns to day
with another hair of mine, turning grey
No I can't really tell you
just what is wrong, my dear,
but still what comes out is
another sad song.
TIME IS NOW
When you're killed by your thoughts like a suicide
When you're a running for your life like in a marathon ride
When you're a longing for someone to keep you warm
When you don't know where's my hatred coming from
When it's over what will happen in case I'm dead
Go to hell - guess it's not to bad, it's not to bad
Take a shotgun, I will kill you until you die
Look inside me, try to find me and say good-bye
Is there still that need to fill
Are you there and do you care
Time is now - it's time to break the vow
Time is right - it's time to start the fight
Time is now - somewhere, someway, somehow
Break the vow - you tell me how, you tell me how
When you love it do you hate it getting into it
When you like it do you break it getting into it
When you loose it do you choose it to get used to it
When you fuck it do you suck it to get all of it
When you need it do you feel it getting trough you
If you don't get it - just hit it, you don't know what to do
Would you kill it just to chill it, get a new one
You think you rock it like a rocket and then you're done
Is there still that need to fill
Are you there and do you care
Time is now ...
When you're burning like a fire in the desert sun
When explosions hit body while you're on the run
When you're screaming like a siren deep down in the sea
When you're asking for the reason why I'm here to be
Time is now ...
BLINDED
Stupid scatterbrained
too much pressure in my vein
Shithead, silly pain
maybe I just went insane
You could be me
if you have the eyes to see
Way high in the sky
the old man sits an wonders why
Blinded
hope that you can see
All the things that I can be
I'm blinded
do you hear my call
tell me will you catch my fall
Slowpaced arrid space
Guess my life has been a waste
Wet cat in the rain
noone knows about my pain
Bullshit - waste of time
listen to your stupid lie
Everytime we say good-bye
I just hang my head and cry
Blinded
hope that you can see
All the things that I can be
I'm blinded
do you hear my call
tell me will you catch my fall
CATCH ME
I heard she drove a silvery sportscar
along the empty streets last night
hanging around with hairdos like mine
no, I haven't seen the kids for some time
Picked up her shoes from the red-brick stairway
just like a harpsichord as she moves
and back upstairs at half past two
with a paper folded outside the loo
Rain falls like elvis' tears
oh no, no sugar tonight
out on the highstreets
dim all the lights now
bright colour tears again
Baby, don't forget to catch me
don't forget to catch me
don't forget to catch me
Hold on princess, don't you think that it's time
on the platform with a drizzle in my eye
I had a friend from over the harbour
he said he stayed with a neighbourhood girl
and sometimes when it won't go right
I can hear his voice inside me at night
Rain falls like elvis' tears
oh no, no sugar tonight
out on the hightstreets
dim all the lights now
bright colour tears again
Baby, don't forget to catch me
don't forget to catch me
don't forget to catch me
Hold on princess, don't you think that it's time
on the platform with a drizzle in my eye
Baby, don't forget to catch me
don't forget to catch me
don't forget to catch me
Hold on princess, don't you think that it's time
the ticket in my hand,
the train pulls down the line
CRYSTAL COWBOY
I don't care what shirt you wear
And I don't want you to know my show?
You make me feel so nice
Get off your horse and kiss me twice
You taught me how to ride at night,
And quite alright...
My big city smile, won't last that long?
You gonna need a while, to cut my tongue
But instead we try, we say goodby
You are so cute, crystal cowboy cute
You are so neat, so street so sweet
You are a gun and I better run
And I say goodby (say good by)...
IF I WERE GOD
If I were God I would do
all the things I'd like to do
I would never go to work
or pay attention to some jerk
I would jump from every mountain
I would sail the seven seas
I would fly up in the sky
if God was me
If I were God I would see
all the things I never see
I would always be with you
and make all your dreams come true
I would fill your days with laughter
I would live a million years
We'd be happy ever after
They would never see our tears
Guess how wonderful it would be
if God was me
yea...
I would save the seals from dying
I would rip down all my chains
I would always stop your crying
and make sunshine when it rains
There won't be no thing as time
I would find the perfect rhyme
everyone would love this song
there won't be no right or wrong
I'd uncover every liar
talk to birds and walk on fire
print my picture in the paper
I would have my private baker
how wonderful it would be
if God was me
hmm...
how wonderful it would be
if God was me
IT'S ALLRIGHT
We are here for you
just to tell you the truth
Yeah, we know it's not new
But we're here from the start
And that'll break you apart - uuuhhh...
You've got to light a candle to be with me
'cause you know I am so high above you, I can't see
But if you put a fire in your window
I can show you where the wind blows
It's allright ...
Let's go, the wind has changed, it blows so wild
Now hit the fear and sing a song, yeah, sing it like a child
Don't you see, we are flying like batman
We are going to the promised land
It's allright ...
We're on the way to somewhere, we don't know
but the time will show us where we stand, where we can go
Don't you see we are burning like the sunball
Yeah, we like it when the rain falls
It's allright ...
SHADOWS
Moon in shadows, hiding faces in a blue-eyed dead-end-night
Broken dreams and colded heart-beats standing tender by my side
Light is fading into darkness, time to kiss your soul good night
Waiting for the everlasting, god-allmighty golden light
Where the sun burns, I will be there, once upon in former time
All the laughter, all this fighting, seem to be a part of mine
People
Oh you people
You people here I am
Take me, keep me, claim me now
Punish me - I smile somehow
Yeah, I stay, I'll never look back
I know how it feels, when red turns to black
Stars and stripes behind the window, colourful against the sky
Streetcars passing towards nowhere, watching me to say good-bye
Where the sun burns, I will be there, once upon in former time
All the laughter, all this fighting, seem to be a part of mine
I am over, high above
I'm falling like I felt in love
I am high, far in the air
Yeah, I know who will be there
O LIKE IT
Don't know what you're doing to me - but I like it
You don't know how you're teasing me - but I like it
Like it ...
You came and ripped me up inside
It's a longing I can't hide
I don't know what you do, but I think I like it
Like it
The way you make me feel inside - I can't hide it
I'm burning up but I don't know why - but I like it
Like it
Falling into million pieces
Falling into million pieces
Take me up and put me back together
Like it
PHOTOGRAPH
Picture me while I'm jumping out the window
Picture me while I'm flying over you
Picture me with a flower as my uhhhh-uh
Picture me while I'm standing on the rooftop
Picture me what do you want me to do
Picture me a looking into you
looking into you
looking into you
Photograph, Photograph
I'll never be the same
Photograph
Just for a laugh
Picture me counting raindrops on the meadow
Picture me while I'm dancing on the moon
Before, between and while and after noon
Picture me telling stories to a river
Could it be I can see although I'm blind
Picture me getting smaller by the hour
Slowly losing my mind (slowly losing my mind)
Photograph, Photograph
I'll never be the same
Photograph
Just for a laugh
Photograph, Photograph
I'll never be the same

PUPPET
What is that look up on your face,
a simple mood,
have I fallen from grace.
Don't you tell me nothing is wrong,
for just have more,
should this be going on.
Is the sky too grey,
did your milk taste bad today?
Did I fade it bad, was it something I have said,
was it something I have said?
There we go on and on again,
the same old game,
of me to blame, of me to blame.
Here I go jumping round the bed,
a stupid me,
'cause you're the king,
and I'm your puppet on a string,
and I'm your puppet on a string.
Is it so hard to understand,
this situation is getting out of here,
but maybe there's something I've missed,
a brandnew love,
that's why you look so pissed.
Did I drive you mad in my wearing that old hat,
tell me what to do,
should I paint the grey sky blue,
the grey sky blue?
I wish I could look into your head,
and read your thoughts,
they're so instead, they're so instead.
Here we go on and on again,
the same old game,
when you're the king,
and I'm your puppet on a string,
I'm your puppet on a string,
I'm your puppet on a string.
Ouhou..
Should I leave or stay,
should I kiss your blues away,
tell me what to do,
I do anything for you,
do anything, 'cause I'm not.
I'm just like your puppet on a string,
you've cupet me,
just hanging on,
now hear my song,
I'm just like a puppet on a string,
oh can't you see,
you're killin' me.
Ouhou... well I've had the thought to leave...
I'm just like your puppet on a string,
for in this game,
you always win,
I'm your puppet on a string,
I'm your puppet on a string.
