The sky is dark
The wind is cold The night is young Before it´s old and grey We will know The trill of it all The time has come It´s getting late It´s now or never Don´t hesitate or stall When I call Don´t spoil The thrill of it all And before you go to sleep at night Preying shadows - do they ask you why? And in the morning through the afternoon Do you wonder where you´re going to? Every word I use Each crumpled page Strange ideas Mature with age Like leaves When autumn falls Turn gold Then they hit the ground Every time I hear The latest sound It´s pure whiskey Reeling round and around My brain Oh and all o´ that jive It´s driving me wild - The dizzy spin I´m in Everywhere I look I see your face I hear your name It´s all over the place Hey girl Though you´ve gone Still I recall The trill of it all You might as well know what is right for you And make the most of what you like to do For all the pleasure that´s surrounding you Should compensate for all you´re going through So if you´re feeling fraught With mental strain Too much thinking´s got you down again Well let your senses skip Stay hip Keep cool To the thrill of it all When you try too much You lose control Pressure rises And so I´m told Something's got the give Oy Veh High life ecstasy You might as well live I can´t see I can´t speak I couldn't take more than another week Without you - oh no So I will drink my fill Till the trill is you Oh the thrill of it all Oh the thrill of it all No I won´t forget The thrill of it all No no no no no no no.... |

You might remember
How it used to be 3 and 9 could show you Any fantasy Parti-coloured pictures Now and then 3D No cheap nostalgia Conjured up by me Back to the old days Close to home Show me some new ways I´ll carry on Whether making out or played out Three and nine make twelve I´ve a dozen reasons Lying on the shelf B feature back rows Filed away No point pretending Change is here to stay 3 and 9 to 45 Decimal romance If you´ve warmed to centigrade You stand a sporting chance I´m not so special You´re a misfit too Why must they interfere In everything we do? Should we play safe now Or go all the way? Six and two threes now More I cannot say |

Somebody told me
Just the other day That you´re leaving me We´re through Well if you knew How it hurt me so Then you´d change your mind I´m sure Don´t want to hear What´s going on I don´t care What´s new Don´t want to know About anything 'Cause all I want Is you Going out with other girls Was always such a bore But since I fell in love with you I need you more and more Don´t want to know About one-night-stands Cut-price souvenirs All I want is The real thing And a night that lasts For years. If you ever change your mind I´ve a certain cure An old refrain, it lingers on L´amour, toujours l´amour... Don´t want to learn About etiquette From glossy magazines Why should I try To talk correct Like they do In another scenes Say no more About imagery You´re starting to confuse Just make an offer Of more romance Of course I can´t refuse All I want is you Oo oo I´m all cracked up on you. |

All you cares
Now they seem Oh so far away All your fears I fear I once shared Now I know There´s a future For all of us Not so long ago I was so scared You seemed so sad I could see Through your twisted smile So unsure Always confused Pale blue eyes Gazing down From your ivory tower Through the haze All broken and bruised Then: out of the blue Love came rushing in Out of the sky Came the sun Out of left field Came a lucky day Out of the blue No more pain I don´t mind If it´s only A passing craze Throwaway lines Often ring true If I were you I would stay For a little while I you were me Would you walk out In style? |

Oh here it comes again
That old ennui I hope it won´t stay long Well it´s every-man to his own thing And every singer to his song If you´re feeling low And all upset Nothing's going right You just make a wish Like in a fairy tale And I´ll bewitch you If it takes all night There are many things That I could say To try and comfort you But I know the words you´d like to hear Are simply "I love you" Sometimes I´m up Sometimes I´m down A topsy-turvy life But only searching For the truth And I´ll find it If it takes all night long Well I myself May main concern Is what I can afford So if music be my mistress Then at least she´s Madame Claude...d´accord Ah - more champagne! To lose this pain Would be very nice So I´ll help myself to one more drink And I´ll find myself If it takes all night long |

Well this is such
A sad affair I´ve opened up my heart So many times But now it´s closed Oh my dear Every salted tear It wrings Bitter - sweet applause But when the show´s in full swing Every once in a while High stepping chorus lines Mean I´m forgetting Mein lullaby - liebchen How rich in contrast Love can be Sometimes I´m quite amused To see it twist and turn To taste - both sweet and dry These vintage years! Lovers you consume, my friend As others their wine Nein - das ist nicht Das ende der welt Gestrandet an leben und kunst Und das spiel geht weiter Wie man weiss Noch viele schönste...wiedershen And now, as you turn to leave You try to force a smile - As if to compensate - Then you break down and cry |

Here the soil is barren
Here - nothing grows But crosses They - know not what they do You - your forgiveness Falls as dew Nailed upon a wooden frame Twisted yet unbroken Open mounted a silent choir Understood, unspoken Never was there heard a sound Until the heavens opened Now the tide is turning To other-wordly yearning Through the sun´s eclipse seems final Surely he will rise again |

You - the hero So many times You've loved And didn't linger Now my finger Points at you - Another loser You - an island On your own Complete In every detail Monumental A precious jewel Or just a fool Innovator It's in your mind And blood I watch it simmer I see you're courting More despair No hope' Not a glimmer Now you're nothing But second hand In glove With second rate now Now you're flirting With heroin - Or is it cocaine' Casanova - Is that your name Or do you live there' I know my place Is here with you Tonight But not together |

You´re heard enough
Of the blues and stuff You´re pretty swell now ´Cause you´re pretty tough But I don´t have to tell you How hard it can be to get by You never bothered About anyone else You´re well educated With no common sense But love - that´s one thing You really need to get by All your troubles Come from yourself Nobody hurts you - They don´t care Just as long as you show them A really good time All the things You used to do A trip to the movies A drink or two They don´t satisfy you They don´t tell you anything new You know I don´t talk much Except to myself ´Cause I´ve not much to say And there´s nobody else Who´s ready and willing And able to know me - I guess Listen to me I´m not finished yet There´s something to tell you That I can´t forget Just have a really good time There´s a girl I used to know Her face is her fortune She´s got a heart of gold She never goes out much But boy - when she does Then you know She´s got no money Well, maybe a dime But she knows what she´s worth And that´s reason why She´s gonna make it She´s got what it takes You´ll appreciate that She´s probably late But I know And you know We all know She´ll have a really good time |

Texas That´s where I
Belong It seems to me Texas Lonesome star Shine on The big country Texas With open skies And you For company Texas Oh prairie rose How happy I should be Hey hey You can take it from me Hey hey I´ll be coming, you´ll see Hey hey Oh what a state to be in Hey hey You´re tantalising me Texas I will compose In fancy rhyme Or just plain prose Texas A song of praise to you Prairie rose Texas Though I´m not sure I can explain Your strange allure Texas Prairie rose - A crown of thorns A scented flower Hey hey I´d better leave right away Hey hey I can hear you calling me Prairie rose |
