Old
03:39

When I was old I didn't know anything
And I've been told I could have known everything
I saw the lie
That`s coming by
To make me cry
Ooo
To make me cry
Ooo
I was mature and teenage had passed me by
Asking for more but everything passed me by
Life was the plan
Do what I can
To be a man
Ooo
To be a man
Ooo
All that I know
All that I say
Comes out of nowhere every day
So if you please
Come here to me
I'll give you the keys
Making us free
When I was young I thought I knew everything
All that was done was there to do anything
I wouldn’t care
if I was there
To have my share
Ooo
To have my share
Ooo
When I was born I could have been anyone
Stung by a thorn or lifted by everyone
I had no clue
What they could do
To make me blue
Ooo
To make me blue
Ooo
To make me blue

Writing Letters
03:05
|

I'm writing letters
I'm writing words
Maybe for better
Maybe for worse
I chew it over
I turn it round
I threw it over
Without a sound
I struggle hard just to make it be clear
If I succeed you will see me here
I'm writing letters ...
I'll make it happen
Deep in my mind
I see a pattern
You'll never find
I struggle hard just to make it be right
If I succeed you will come tonight
And we will have a good time
Getting to know each other
We will have a good time
Nobody else will bother
I'm writing letters ...
I struggle hard just to make it be right
If I succeed you will come tonight
And we will have a good ....
I'm writing letters ...
I'm writing letters ...
I'm writing letters
I'm writing letters
I'm writing letters

don`t leave me alone
why do you have to go
don`t leave me on my own
I did not mean to hurt you

where will you stay tonight
it`ll be hard can`t you see
so please come back to me girl
please forgive me

I want to please you
as much as I can
yes I want to be true
regret now that you ran
now you`ll come back to me soon
please forgive me
please
please forgive me
please

Jaws of Time
03:01
|
|||
As soon as you are born they will make you feel small
They put you in a home where they leave you to crawl
They make you feel the guilt while they`re having a ball
The wonder of it all
Waiting for the jaws of time
They make you go to school so you're out of the way
You feel like you're a fool and your mind goes astray
They teach you every rule you don't want to obey
So you just gotta stay
Waiting for the jaws of time
Asking yourself
What you can do about it
Is there anything one can do
To make a dream come true
They make you go to work and they give you some dough
You feel like you're a jerk and you don't wanna go
They bribe you with a perk but they don't wanna know
You’re staying with the flow
Waiting for the jaws of time
Asking yourself…
When days you've seen gone by and you worked like a slave
Whatever you would try it did not make you brave
They stress you till you die there's no end what they crave
You end up in your grave
Eaten by the jaws of time
Eaten by the jaws of time
Eaten by the jaws of time

Naked
04:02
|
|||
Are you ashamed of being naked
Why be ashamed of being naked
Everyone’s naked
Under the clothes we look just like the ones we’re beside
Nothing to hide
Or be ashamed of
So many there people that look the same that you do
Give me a clue
All the shameful feelings
Where do they all come from
Let those shameful feelings
Go back where they belong
Sexual abusing
Lies in the mind of those who don’t know what would be right
Keep up the fight
Love is the answer
Naked we come no reason there to bother at all
Give it a call
All the shameful feelings…
Are you ashamed of being…
Say it is sinful
Wearing no clothes you will reveal what everyone knows
That’s how it goes
It’s the religion
Telling you how you should react beware of your sin
That’s coming in
All the shameful feelings…

Making it Easy
04:36
|
|||
Down by the river
All the confusion in my mind
Whirl like the water that I find
Looking for someone
Looking for something in the night
Making it easy to feel fright
All tribulations
That we experience in our day
May be for better
Helping us how to choose the way
Down at the café
Wait for a waiter to arrive
Wonder if I am still alive
Having the usual
And in the cup my favourite blend
Making it easy for my friend
All tribulations …
Every man
And also every woman
Trying to understand the world
Gotta have lots of patience
If they will understand the world
Down in the corner
Having a wall on any side
No use in trying how to hide
Climbing a ladder
Putting me high upon the shelf
Making it easy for myself
All tribulations …

Routine
02:59
|

(routine routine)
I`m working at an office from nine to five
And every night when I come home I think I`ll die
`cos this daily routine is killing me
It`s hard (so hard)
To be alone every day
(to have nobody to be with)
When I`m gone nobody seems to
(I want someone to)
Care in any way
(routine routine)
If I for once could have a girl she wouldn`t stay
She wouldn`t even come with me on holiday
And this yearly routine is killing me
I cry at night when I`m home
(I am so alone)
I`ll try to fight but I`ll lose
(I am bound to lose)
I don`t want to be alone
(I must try to break this
routine routine)
I`m working at an office from …
It`s hard (so hard) …
(routine routine)
If I for once could have …

Colored

Hey mr white man you tell him he's colored
You’re making a point of yourself being pale
Hey mr white man you tell him he's colored
You think what you found is the Holy Grail
Hey mr white man you tell him he's…
White man pink when you're born
White man red in the sun
White man scared and you're yellow
Black man always is black
Why then call him a colored man
Hey mr white man you tell him he's…
Hey mr white man you tell him he's…
White man blue when you're cold
White man green when you're sick
White man grey when you're dead
Black man always is black
Why then call him a colored man
Hey mr white man you tell him he's…
Hey mr white man you tell him he's…
You think what you found is the Holy Grail
You think what you found is the Holy Grail

it seems that I`ll never get your love
everybody says I`m wasting my time
I hope that I`ll forever get your love
although you say you`ll never be mine
I`ll put my faith in the good luck I ain`t got
I`ll put my faith in the good luck I ain`t got
it seems that I`m never on your mind
every time we meet I look in your eyes
I don`t know who`s forever on your mind
it`s hidden in your head at what price
I`ll put my faith in the good luck I ain`t got
I`ll put my faith in the good luck I ain`t got
I don`t know what you want to tell me
it`s a rather strange look in your eyes
please don`t go I know we could as well be
taking part in paradise
it seems that I`ll never get...
I`ll put my faith in the good luck I ain`t got
I`ll put my faith in the good luck I ain`t got
I`ll put my faith in the good luck I ain`t got
I`ll put my faith in the good luck I ain`t got

Fat Onions
03:43
|
|||
everyone`s happy from hour to twelve
rolling the sunlight and shower the bell
oh I`m gonna love you for ever a day
but first I`ll be hungry and get me some hay
fat onions with mustard all around
people is gloomy to hear what you eat
mama is heavy come sweat from your feet
yes green is the ladder and reach for afraid
and then I`m imprisoned by debts I have paid
fat onions with mustard all around
fat onions with mustard all around
carry the water to sleep on a fly
see what I wonder around in the sly
oh you`ll be a mother of eagle and stone
and soon you`ll see gumble
to sit back and groan
fat onions with mustard all around

Tie Your Thai Tie
03:03
|
|||
You better tie your Thai tie
And make it with your lover
Get out into the tepid night and have a love affair
You better tie your Thai tie
And be good with each other
Be sure to make it right when you are there
You travel round the world when you're going
Buying souvenirs for all your knowing
You sit back in the lounge and you're sipping your tea
I hope you know where you're supposed to be
You better tie your Thai tie …
You travel round the world with your honey
Buying souvenirs for all your money
Laid back in your hotel you just soak in the pool
I hope you know that you're somebody's fool
You better tie your Thai tie …
You better tie your Thai tie …
Be sure to tie your Thai tie now

Rockin' In the Moonlight

We were rockin’ in the moonlight
Rockin’ in the daylight
Rockin’ in one by one
We were rockin’ in the moonlight
Rockin’ in the daylight
Rockin’ in one by one
Makin’ it all the way into the sun
We were rockin’ in the evening
Rockin’ in the morning
Rockin’ in two by two
We were rockin’ in the evening
Rockin’ in the morning
Rockin’ in two by two
Makin’ it all the way to be with you
Listenin’ to rock roll music all the night
Feelin’ so good when I can hold you tight
We were rockin’ at a party
Rockin’ on our own
Rockin’ around the clock
We were rockin’ at a party
Rockin’ on our own
Rockin’ around the clock
Trying to make everybody rock
Listenin’ to rock roll music…
We were rockin’ in the moonlight…
Makin’ it all the way to be with you
Trying to make everybody rock

when I was thinking of you baby
then I said I knew baby
that I`d fall in love with you
you was laughing at me baby
but now can`t you see baby

`cos I had to set you free
you must come on to me baby
if you don`t
I still love you

I will always stay with you baby
`cos I`m in love with you
of course can`t you see ....
well I can`t break away ....
yes I`m in love with you
I`m in love with you girl
I`m in love with you

Fortyseven

A little girl with blonde hair
Her bathing suit was just a string around her waist
A little girl with blonde hair
She played around and she would sing what`s of her taste
A little girl with blonde hair
A little girl with blonde hair
When a child is born
You expect her to live a long life
Live on and gain experience
When a child is born
You'd be happy to give a strong life
With so little pain experience
When a child is born
When a child is born
A teenage girl with blonde hair
Ahead of her a future bright and hopeful lied
A teenage girl with blonde hair
She played around both day and night
She laughed and cried
A teenage girl with blonde hair
A teenage girl with blonde hair
When a child grows up
You would want her to learn a few things
To make her live a happy life
When a child grows up
She`d be glad if she`d turn to new things
So they could give a happy life
When a child grows up
And the child grew up
And her life went on
And then suddenly
Everything was gone
At the age of fortyseven
She went to heaven
If there is one I'm sure it's where she went
All her life was heaven sent
At the age of fortyseven…
A woman in her prime time
Her family and every friend was her concern
A woman in her prime time
Did she know that in the end we all would yearn
A woman in her prime time
A woman in her prime time
At the age of fortyseven…
At the age of fortyseven…
A mother a lover a sister a friend
A loving and caring and warm hearted friend
Why did it have to end this way
A mother a lover a sister ….
A mother a lover a sister ….
Why did it have to end this way
Why did it have to end this way
