Sweet Miss Cobra
06:27
|

sweet miss Cobra she`s lookin` so nice
but if you plan to meet her
you`d better think twice
sweet miss Cobra she`s ready to bite
and if you plan to beat her
you can`t win the fight
she would lure you to the nest
you would think it`s all the best
she would twist and twine for you
you`d think that`s all right to do
she would like to let you in
just to let you feel her skin
well listen to my warning
this could be your last morning
the snake will get to you while yawning
sweet miss Cobra .....
let her come into your life
she will win the daily strife
let her stand there in your way
she will rule your night and day
run your fingers to and fro
you`ll be dead before you know
well listen to my.....
sweet miss Cobra .....
everything is in or out
makes you want to scream and shout
all you see is what you know
what you know is where to hoe
where you are is where you`ve been
dig a hole and jump right in
well listen to my.....
sweet miss Cobra
sweet miss Cobra
sweet miss Cobra
sweet miss Cobra

Young and Beautiful
04:43
|

look into the mirror to see an older man
his eyes are gettin` dim but he`s doin` what he can
life was never easy but life was always hard
his luck was never good
never found the missing card
but if you got the looks and lack of age
you don`t need any books to turn the page
because you`ve got it made
if you`re young and beautiful
you`ve got it made
if you`re young and beautiful
bitterness is growing for all that went so wrong
and what is there to do
what is left before so long
hair is gettin´ gray there are wrinkles in the skin
he never realized what`s the meaning of within
but if you got the looks and lack.....
oh no
so you want to be a singer
well if you know how to dance now
and if you look good in a picture show
and if you look like an angel
and if you take direction from those who know
we can always fix your singing
you`ve got it made
if you`re young and beautiful
you`ve got it made
if you`re young and beautiful
you`ve got it made
if you`re young and beautiful
you`ve got it made
if you`re young and beautiful
and if you got the looks and lack of age
you don`t need any books to turn the page
because you`ve got it made
if you`re young and beautiful
you`ve got it made
if you`re young and beautiful

Edge of Existence
05:10
|
|||
I`m goin` to bed
with a song in my head
I`m goin` to bed right now
and I feel like ice-cream porridge waterflow
someone tell me where it is that I should go
what`s the use in everything I just don`t know
I`m goin` to bed
with a dog in my shed
I`m goin` to bed right now
will I fall asleep that only time will tell
is it right to be here in this place I dwell
what`s the use I might as well just go to hell
I just feel like cutting on the edge of existance
I gotta learn to speak it out loud
try to catch a flake in the distance
don`t bother with the man in the crowd
all I see is always the wrong way
what I hear is nothing to know
do you care about what to song say
or do you want me to go
I`m goin` to bed
with a hole in my head
I`m goin` to bed right now
holy roly don`t you make me fly away
I just have to say what I just have to say
don`t you want my company well it`s O.K.
I just feel like cutting on the edge ....
let me tell you all that I`m thinkin`
there`s no reason to be afraid
everybody gather around me
I just feel like cutting on the edge ....
all you see could well be the wrong way
and what you hear is no guarantee
do you care about what to song say
do you want to come here with me
if you feel the edge of existance
the only way I know to be free
try to catch the flake in the distance
don`t you want to come here with me

Foreign Country
05:51
|
|||
I was born rather young
in a country far from yours
I don`t know what I`ve done
but I can`t open your doors
I live in a foreign country
where everything is different from yours
I live in a foreign country
or is it you that`s livin` abroad
every girl every boy
all the people on this earth
they can cry laugh of joy
some will die while some give birth
I live in a foreign .....
you`re living in the middle of the world
where everything you do
and everything you say
is very important
you`re living in the middle of the world
you think you have the clue
to everything today
but you`re wrong
I live in a foreign .....
easy come easy go
save your friend where else you are
say goodbye say hello
but remember it`s not far
I live in a foreign .....
you`re living in the middle ......
I`m living in the middle of the world
and so are all of you
and everybody else
it`s very important
we`re living in the middle of the world
remember that you do
it`s nothing there that tells
that I`m wrong
I live in a foreign .....
or is it you that`s livin` abroad
or is it you that`s livin` abroad

today when we had a fight about what to do
some hard words just happened to slip out and came through
we ended up crying each one losing the game
it`s hard to be trying out the blame
but we have the gift to say "I`m sorry my friend"
before we can sleep we start all over again
I can`t leave you crying it`s so hard to be there
I`ll always be trying to care
because I love you too much to let you go
I love you too much and don`t you know
I love you too much to let you go
I love you too much and don`t you know
when I see your eyes and hear your voice
I know that I don`t have no choice
I need to feel your tender touch
I love you too much
if you ever happen to be sorry and blue
then take my advice don`t let me worry `bout you
you know like I know that you`re intended for me
and so is it always gonna be
time and time again there is no difference
time and time again for any one
time and time again there is no difference
try and try again
I know that love will win
and I`ll be where you`re in
because I love you too much to let you go
I love you too much and don`t you know
I love you too much to let you go
I love you too much and don`t you know
when I see your eyes and hear your voice
I know that I don`t have no choice
I need to feel your tender touch
I love you too much
each day we have had a fight about what to do
when hard words just happened to slip out and came through
it ends in a while because we know that it`s true
you won`t go and I`ll never leave you
because I love you too much to let you go
I love you too much and don`t you know
I love you too much to let you go
I love you too much and don`t you know
I love you too much
I love you too much
I love you too much
I love you too much
I love you too much
I love you too much

Afraid of the Darkness
02:17
|
|||
I am afraid of the darkness that surrounds my soul
the wind is cold and I`m alone
I am afraid of the darkness when there`s no one there
and no one seems to care
I dream of you and your eyes
that look in mine through the night
I dream of you and your smile
but what`s the use when nothing is allright
afraid of the darkness I am
I dream of you and your eyes
that look in mine through the night
I dream of you and your smile
but what`s the use when nothing is allright
I am afraid of the darkness
it`s against my mind
oh please be kind don`t leave me here
I am afraid of the darkness when there`s no one there
and no one seems to care

Rejected
04:37
|
|||
things are not going according to plan
I am stuck in the middle of a song
all I am knowing it`s all out of hand
where`s the luck I`ve been waiting for so long
no one gives credits I know I deserve
and the words don`t come easy anymore
I never said it I don`t have the nerve
and the birds leave their droppings on my floor
I`ve been rejected
not wanted in the game
neglected
you`ll make it just the same
down in the dust-bin
you put away my mind
no trust in you is there to find
I bet your def and blind
what`s the use in doing all the things I do
what`s the use in knowing all the things I know
what`s the use in anything
I have to make up with things that I find
all around me so that is what I do
how can I break up the lock in your mind
so you`re bound to accept my feelings too
I`ve been rejected....
do you know how it feels
when no one turns your wheels
and Mr Man is the one that deals
and time wound all your heels
I`ve been rejected....
I`ve been rejected....
I`ve been rejected

Always Present Blues
05:47
|
|||
the blues is always present whatever I do
the blues is always present whatever I do
no matter what
no matter when
no matter who
let`s hear it again
the blues is always present here
the blues is always present whereever I go
the blues is always present whereever I go
no matter why
no matter where
no matter if
let`s hear my despair
the blues is always present here
the man in the mirror just stands here in my way
I try to remember what he is gonna say
my feelings are empty
my mind is a mess
the blues will hit me again
the blues is always present whenever I am
the blues is always present whenever I am
no matter in
no matter out
no matter when
let`s hear it no doubt
the blues is always present here
the man in the wardrobe just looks like he was sad
I feel like I`m missin` the things I never had
you know it ain`t easy to live in a cage
the blues will hit me again
the blues is always present whatever I do
the blues is always present whatever I do
no matter what
no matter when
no matter who
let`s hear it again
the blues is always present here
the blues is always present here

How to Be Your Lover
05:12
|
|||
you never told me how to be your lover
you never told me what to do
you never told me how to be your lover
you never told me how to do it
you never told me how to be your lover
you never told me what to do
you never told me how to be your lover
you never told me how to do it
so I just had to improvise
to be someone before your eyes
I might as well have tossed a dice
your heart turned out as cold as ice
so I don`t know
you never told me how....
I tried to tell you where it`s at
I tried to show you this and that
and you just looked the other way
and now it ain`t much more to say
so I don`t know
you never told me how to be your lover
you never told me what to do
you never told me how to be your lover
you never told me what to do
it`s so hard to find
the hole in your mind
where I can get through
please give me the clue
you never told me how....
why do you like to see me blue
I need a lover just like you
my life is going out of hand
without you I know I can`t stand
so I don`t know
you never told me how to be your lover
you never told me what to do
you never told me how to be your lover
you never told me what to do
it`s so hard to find
the hole in your mind
where I can get through
please give me the clue

Long Flight to Paradise
07:03
|
|||
it was a long flight and the going was hard
I`m feeling allright `cos I`m leaving my backyard
my woman`s beside me and everything`s fine
we sit by the tide and just watching the sun shine
living in a tropical garden
learning how to cope with the sun
even if the sun`s gonna get me
I won`t run
I won`t run
floating down the Indian Ocean
trying out the wave that`s most fun
even if the sun`s gonna get me
I`ll never run away
`cos I`m always gonna stay in paradise
(long flight to paradise)
in paradise
(long flight to paradise)
in paradise
(long flight to paradise)
we`re leaving the snow and the ice way behind
we just had to go we don`t wanna get snowblind
my woman gets tan and that`s all that we do
`cos I`m a big fan and I do just what she do
living in a tropical garden....
the geckos on the wall
won`t do no harm at all
the flowers in the sky
will bloom for you and I
living in a tropical garden....
it was a long flight and we`re going so far
but every night put my hand in the fruit jar
my woman feels good and the Mister does to
I`ll show you the wood and I`m doin` it to you
living in a tropical garden....
living in a tropical garden....
in paradise
(long flight to paradise)
in paradise
(long flight to paradise)
in paradise
(long flight to paradise)

People Must Meet
06:28
|
|||
there`s a frown on my face
`cos the human race
is going to evacuate
from the face of earth
yes I heard it today
there are men who say
that your dangerousness
depends on yor place of birth
but I don`t believe you can judge a man
from the country he lives in
or the coulor of his skin
I don`t believe you can judge a man
if you cannot tell me why
there`s a twinkle in his eye
in his eye
there`s a thought in my mind
we can see behind
and realize what`s obvious
if we really try
so I want you to come
each and everyone
to sit around the table
don`t claim you are shy
`cos I don`t believe you can judge......
People must meet with each other
and eat with each other
and sit around the table
to make sure we are able to survive
to stay alive
there`s a frown on my......
but I don`t believe you can judge.....
People must meet with each.....
People must meet with each.....
let us sit in my lawn
until night is dawn
the sun is rising in the east
and shines for ever more
if we learn east is west
we can see it`s best
to drive away the evil beast
that some of us call war
`cos I don`t want to die
I don`t want to die
I don`t want to die
