Kívánom

Ez egy kisváros, itt ébredtem fel
Egy azon helyek közül, ahonnan egész életemben menekültem volna
Ne ítélj el
Ha a szörnyekkel küzdesz,
Vigyázz, nehogy eggyé válj közülük,
Vigyázz, nehogy eggyé válj közülük
 
Megfontolt vagyok
Világos, hogy már túl késő
Eleget éltem már ahhoz, hogy csapdába eshessem
Ez nem jó így
Ha a szörnyekkel küzdesz
Vigyázz, nehogy eggyé válj közülük
Vigyázz, nehogy eggyé válj közülük
 
Egy jobb jövőt kívánok magunknak együtt
Egy országbanm, ahol nem szennyezi vér a földet
Kevesebb bűnözést és gyűlöletet kívánok
Nem tudom, kik az én népem
Nem tudom, kik az én népem
 
Most itt vagyok
Ugyanabban a csónakban
Már kijutottam,
De visszahúznak
Képtelen vagyok oldalt választani
Ha a rossz emberekkel keveredsz,
Felfalnak a disznók,
Felfalnak a disznók
 
Egy jobb jövőt kívánok magunknak együtt
Egy országbanm, ahol nem szennyezi vér a földet
Kevesebb bűnözést és gyűlöletet kívánok
Nem tudom, kik az én népem
Nem tudom, kik az én népem
 
Nem tudom, kik az én népem
Nem tudom, kik az én népem

I Wish

It's a small town where I wake up
One from wich I always wanted to escape
Don't judge me
If you fight against the monsters
Beware not to become one of them
Beware not to become one of them
 
I'm conscious
It's clearly too late
I've lived enough to step in a trap
It's no advantage
If you belive that the monsters are real
Beware not to become one of them
Beware not to become one of them
 
I wish for a better future for us toghether
In a country without blood on the ground
I wish for less crime and less hate
I don't know who my people are
I don't know who my people are
 
Here I am now
In the same boat
I'm out
But they pull me in again
I can't choose side
If you mix with the bad crowd
Then the pigs will swallow you
Then the pigs will swallow you
 
I wish for a better future for us toghether
In a country without blood on the ground
I wish for less crime and less hate
I don't know who my people are
I don't know who my people are
 
I don't know who my people are
I don't know who my people are

Music

Versions: #1
Let's leave in this unusual world
The noise of mechanical excavators
Which build what?
Let's silence the melancholics
With our own rhythmic and our joy
 
Music
And which everyone starts to sing
And let everyone get carried away
Close to each other, tight
Close to each other, entwined
{Close to each other}
 
Music
Let the orchestras begin to play
That our memory starts to dream
And let our thoughts travel
Let go of our bodies and float
 
{Close to each other}
 
Music
We're too weak to kill each other
We're too alone to hate each other
We're not so well to add more
We're too nothing to tear each other apart
{Each other}
 
Music
Lay our guns at our feet
Let us send our armies home
Let's throw down our shields
Let's snap our fingers, beat time with foot
{One two three four}
 
Music
Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet music
Hmmm
Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet music
Hmmm ...

All

[Verse 1].
With our nose glued to the screen, we can no longer see the big picture.
It is in people's eyes that we become giants.
We let time flow in quicksand
Without seeing, of course, the most important
But nothing is lost for all that
 
[Chorus]
All together we are better when the sun rises
All together we are better to dream
All together we are to embrace the truth
All together we are better to walk
La la la...
 
[Verse 2]
You can freeze time and shorten the distance.
Doing it while singing, it takes all its meaning
The one that brings to life, the smile of a child
Which reminds us so much of the most important
And this is where it all starts
 
[Chorus]
All together we are better when the sun rises
All together we are better to dream
All together we are to embrace the truth
All together we are better to walk
La la la...
 
[Bridge]
All together we are better when the sun rises
All together we are better to dream
All together we are better the truth rises up
All together we're better to move forward
 
[Chorus]
All together we are better when the sun rises
All together we are better to dream
All together we are to embrace the truth
All together we are better to walk
La la la...

Yet you love me.

It's true that me, I am a girl
and you are a boy
and that is why we don't see anything
the same way.
Yes, I know that it's true.
Me, I always dream of finding myself
alone with you,
and you, you want to co conquer,
to be acquainted with everybody at once.
Yet you love me,
and I can't live without you.
 
It's true that me, I am a girl
and you are a boy
and you and I have never
the same reactions.
Yes, I know that it's true.
You look at a girl
and you find her very pretty
so that I, already, I tremble,
I have the impression that you forget me.
Yet you love me,
and I can't live without you
 
It's true that me, I am a girl
and you are a boy
and quite often
I find it hard to see why
but I know that it's true.
I spend all my time
waiting and thinking of you
while you work
or go out with others than me,
yet you love me
and I can't live without you.
 
Yet you love me
and I can't live without you.
Oh yes, you love me
and I can't live without you.
Yet you love me
and I can't live without you.

HappySad

I had a friend who,
who never saw the sky
because he always looked in front of himself
Maybe he feared staying back
 
Then all of a sudden, every man for himself
I don't even remember why
And I feel a bit happy-sad
I cry, bursting of laughter
 
I had a friend who
wanted to go to everyone a genius
as if to suit himself
He shouldn't please the entire world
 
Then all of a sudden, every man for himself
I don't even remember why
And I feel a bit happy-sad
I cry, bursting of laughter
 
I had a friend that
i don't know if he was my friend for real
because even though he spoke mostly to himself
he wasn't ever able to be sincere
 
Then all of a sudden, every man for himself
I don't even remember why
And I feel a bit happy-sad
and I really don't get it
 
I had a friend who
I haven't seen for a lifetime, and I was wondering
if he found a bit of peace for himself
or if he still sees the world in black & white

Ballad Against The Enemies Of France

May he fall in with beasts that scatter fire,
Like Jason, when he sought the fleece of gold,
Or change from man to beast three years entire,
As King Nebuchadnezzar did of old

The Shannon's girl

The Shannon's girl lives at the end of a world
Where nothing forgives disappointed loves
And it's raining, it's raining on the grass of Ireland
And it's raining, it's raining on the lawn of Ireland
And she sings to those who smile at her
 
{Refrain:}
Don't make fun of a girl who loves you
Don't make fun of a girl who gives her heart
Don't make fun of a girl that hopes
Before time abandons her
Like a flower she gives everything
Keeping on her mad hopes
Don't make fun of a girl who gives all
 
The Shannon's girl expects everything from a promise
Made in front of the fire an evening of intoxication
And it's raining, it's raining on the secret of Ireland
And it rains, it rains on tales and legends
And she sings to those who smile at her
 
{To the refrain, x2}
Don't make fun of a girl who gives all

That innocent son

That innocent son,
such a rare gift of heaven,
that son so dear to you,
God demands from you.
 
He wants me, the father, to remain weak
before his fatherly eyes,
he wants me to shed the blood
of whom I have given life.

My fire of love

My fire of love,
however far
or near I might be,
never changing,
will always be burning
for you, dear eyes.
That flame which kindled me
is so pleased with my soul
that it never dies.
And if fate entrusts me to you,
lovely rays of my beloved sun,
my soul will never be able
to long for any other light.

Song From a Party

My paintings are lying all over the floor.
None of them are on my wall yet.
I’ll get to what I was gonna do tomorrow.
Everyone will be tired of me.
There was no rain this past summer.
Though tears did run down my face.
A speech was held one afternoon
and I stormed out afterwards.
 
From one romance to another,
I’ve gotten your names mixed up.
‘Cause I am hurt by those memories
and by my own name.
The greatest thing that’s ever happened to me
was a thunderstorm up above.
So yeah, I still feel pretty strong
despite a year of hell.
 
I learned so much about which lines to cross.
I had to draw one in the sand.
I’m still pretty heartbroken
but finally free.
I called you once back in August
but there was no signal.
I wanted to be with you so bad
but now I’ll be alone for a while.
 
Bamad left Sweden on a plane,
probably never coming back.
I’ve hardly seen the others.
Natanel now has two kids.
I often feel so alone.
It’s always sort of been like this, but
it sucks having to fold my sheets alone
without saying good night to you.
 
Of course I’ve never been romantic,
it was you who took pictures of me.
The colours are now on the trees
like the movies I saw with you.
Well, I gotta go now,
the others are waiting on me.
I sort of just wanted to say
that I miss you.

Without you

[Verse 1]
I've gone through religions and astronomy
And found nothing1, but I miss being by your side
Sometimes life plays out like a joyful symphony
But if I never hear those three words
 
[Chorus]
Then I have nothing
Nothing weighs on the scales
I'd rather live just one day with you
Than always without you
You'll hear my heart cry out for you like an addict
It would rather beat just one day with you
Than always without you
 
[Verse 2]
Time is the only precious thing I have to give
But for your sake I'll waste it all
I can teach you a million love songs by heart
But without love those songs are for nothing
 
[Chorus]
When I have nothing
Nothing weighs on the scales
I'd rather live just one day with you
Than always without you
You'll hear as my heart cries out for you like an addict
It would rather beat just one day with you
Than always without you
 
[Bridge]
Say that you miss me too
Say that you also stay up nights
Say that you need me too
When there are many billions of us here
But they're all vainly casting lots
I don't know how I'll survive that, if you go
 
[Chorus]
When I have nothing
Nothing weighs on the scales
I'd rather live just one day with you
Than always without you
You'll hear my heart cry out for you like an addict
It would rather beat just one day with you
Than always without you
 
[Outro]
When I have nothing
You'll hear as my heart
It would rather beat just one day with you
Than always without you

Melody Without Sun

Today is the end
The last episode
Of many we stopped watching
 
This time I'll let
Moments to speak
The ones I wanna forget
 
Maybe it's today or never
It feels like forever
Better to know
There's an afterwards
To feel it's a sign
 
I'm everything you say about me
Everything I made of you
Every night I got lost
Every melody without sun
 
I can't stop
Being who I am
A part of you
 
When what you wish
Just doesn't happen as you expected
It's hard to see it
 
Without you, nothing is the same
Hope I always see you
And not to think
 
I'm everything you say about me
Everything I made of you
Every night I got lost
Every melody without sun
 
I can't stop
Being who I am
A part of you
 
It's both of us
I can't understand
What I feel for you
 
A part of you
It's both of us
I can't understand
What I feel without you
 
I'm everything you say about me
Everything I made of you
Every night I got lost
Every melody without sun
 
I can't stop
Being who I am
A part of you
 
Everything I made of you
Every melody without sun
I can't stop
Being who I am
I can't stop
Being who I am
 
A part of you
I'm a part of you

Dull Heart

One morning you said 'I love you'
But your heart wasn't there
Maybe I'll capture everything in a memory
To believe I never lost you
 
I want and I hope
For you to call me at midnight
I believe and I hope
Wind help us to fly
 
I already know
I'll survive
Having this dull heart
 
I already know
I won't lie
Just want you by my side
Even though I shouln't
 
I already know
I'll survive
Having this dull heart
 
I already know
It won't come
The love I've been waiting for
I still wait for you
I still wait for you
 
I look for signs in your secrets
And I see the fire bringing us down
It's an open ending scene
A whirlpool sucking us in
 
I want and I hope
For you to call me at midnight
I believe and I hope
Wind help us to fly
 
I already know
I'll survive
Having this dull heart
 
I already know
I won't lie
Just want you by my side
Even though I shouln't
 
I already know
I'll survive
Having this dull heart
 
I already know
It won't come
The love I've been waiting for
I still wait for you
I still wait for you
I still wait for you
I still wait for you

Önmagam vagyok

És az utca arra késztet, hogy senkivé váljak
majdhogynem senkivé
És a város arra késztet, hogy lázas ritmusát kövessem,
lázas ritmusát
De mikor újra egymásra találunk,
mikor este hazaérkezik,
elég egyetlen pillantás
 
És újra önmagam vagyok,
az egész égbolt az ujjaim hegyén van
A világ alattam,
mint a legelsõ alkalommal
Önmagam vagyok
Hallok, érzek és látok
Önmagam vagyok
 
És az utca újra rámkényszeríti egyhangú életét,
egyhangú életét
A városban elkallódom, elfeledkezem önmagamról,
asszimilálódom
Igen, asszimilálódom
De mikor újra egymásra találunk,
mikor az égbolt besötétedik,
elég egyetlen pillantás

Mégis mi értelme?

Épp úgy mint a te szíved,
Az enyém sem ígérhet semmit
Az enyémet is megrémiszti a szerelem,
de elõfordulhat, hogy szeret téged
Mégis mi értelme elrejteni?
Mégis mi értelme elmenekülni elõle?
 
Semmi mást nem tudok nyújtani,
csak amit szemeimmel látok
Nem akarsz szenvedni,
de mondd, ki nem szenved?
Mégis mi értelme elszalasztani?
Mégis mi értelme elsétálni?
 
Meghúzódni a magányos tornyod legtetején
sötétségbe burkolódzva
teljesen egyedül, teljesen egyedül
Mivelhogy nem vagyunk kifejezetten boldogtalanok,
Képesek vagyunk elfelejteni, hogy az nem azt jelenti, hogy boldogok vagyunk
teljesen egyedül, teljesen egyedül
 
Csak a csillagokat tudom felkínálni neked,
és semmi mást
Hogyha mégis szenvedést kell okoznunk egymásnak,
azt az élet akarja úgy
Mégis mi értelme egyedül maradni?
Mégis mi értelme egyedül leélni az életet?
 
Csak a csillagokat tudom felkínálni neked,
és semmi mást
Hogyha mégis szenvedést kell okoznunk egymásnak,
azt az élet akarja úgy
Mégis mi értelme egyedül maradni?
Mégis mi értelme egyedül leélni az életet?
Teljesen egyedül.

Crossword

You left me wandering another night
Only because of a few words out of their place
And I have a feeling I’m going round circles
Only with the lies that I tell myself
You know, I feel like I’m in a dream
With me running, out of breath
And I push away another risk of suddenly falling asleep
Keep in mind these words
She tastes like beer and wasted occasions
Like the last days of summer spent smoking
Without anyone to wait
I search for words and find the wrong ones
Like in crossword
I lost you in a breath of autumn wind
And I still grope around for you in the dark
What is it
Hey, yeah
That’s not for me?
Hey, yeah
And thinking back to it, in the end it seems to me like it’s nothing
But at this point you don’t get out of it like out of a dead end
Who knows why we’re giving each other the worst
Maybe we’re out of time, out of time
And I always remember the things I should forget
And I always forget the things I should remember
And I talk too much and I don’t know how to listen to you
I’ll leave, but without being noticed
And I know well the direction to losing myself
To shake my thoughts off
The lights are about to go on
The shadows rush to hide
She tastes like beer and wasted occasions
Like the last days of summer spent smoking
Without anyone to wait
I search for words and find the wrong ones
Like in crossword
I lost you in a breath of autumn wind
And I still grope around for you in the dark
What is it
Hey, yeah
That’s not for me?
Hey, yeah

I imagine

(Nana nanana)
(Nana nanana)
(Nana nanana)
(Nana nanana)
 
Oops, there are no more flowers on the balcony
Drat! They wilted in my hands
Oops, it wasn't the right season
But the spring will return
Oops, I dreamt that there were a lot of us
To repaint the walls of our towns
And leave the marks of our hands
Not just on our touchscreens
 
I can't help it, it's just the way I am
It's stronger than me, I believe
The 'believe no more', the 'don't believe'
That's not for me
 
Everything begins with an 'I imagine'
In a corner of your head
A dream that suddenly takes shape
That nothing can stop
Tell me what you imagine
Sing it at the top of your voice
Pass the message on to your neighbour
Hey!
Me, I'm ready
 
Lalalalalalalalala
I imagine
Lalalalalalalalalala
I imagine
Lalalalalalalalalala
I imagine, I imagine
Lalalalalalalalalala
Tomorrow I imagine
 
Oops, I have imagined a world
Where people hug each other
To do the most beautiful round dance
A dance between you and me
Go! There is always something to do
Even in the middle of the living room
On our screens, our hands in the air
To start a revolution
 
I can't help it, it's just the way I am
It's stronger than me, I believe
The 'believe no more', the 'don't believe'
That's not for me
 
Everything begins with an 'I imagine'
In a corner of your head
A dream that suddenly takes shape
That nothing can stop
Tell me what you imagine
Sing it at the top of your voice
Pass the message on to your neighbour
Hey!
Me, I'm ready
 
Lalalalalalalalala
I imagine
Lalalalalalalalalala
I imagine
Lalalalalalalalalala
I imagine, I imagine
Lalalalalalalalalala
Tomorrow I imagine
 
Yes, it's true
It's not always happiness
In our hearts, it's
A bit like a battle
And tomorrow, you
What do you do?
Imagine with me
 
Lalalalalalalalala
I imagine
Lalalalalalalalalala
I imagine
Lalalalalalalalalala
I imagine
Lalalalalalalalalala
I imagine
 
Oh tomorrow, I imagine
Oh tomorrow, I imagine
Oh tomorrow, I imagine

Castaway

Desert islands are waiting
For us to swim again
Sheets made of sand
And shared evenings by the sea
 
Lets burn dawn again
Because I'm in need of your arms around me
And winter has been longer.
 
Urban castaway
There are hidden treasures
Only you tell where.
 
Urban castaway
I'm dreaming on morse code
Your name on the horizons
 
When this storm
Is over
I'll catch you
 
Because your voice and my compass
Lead straight to my heart
My body is a little ship
Steered by your love
Both of us are naked
 
This tide gets high again
It's endless
When I find you, just say yes
Say you won't leave
 
Lets burn dawn again
Because I'm in need of your arms around me
And winter has been longer.
 
Urban castaway
There are hidden treasures
Only you tell where.
 
Urban castaway
I'm dreaming on morse code
Your name on the horizons
 
When this storm
Is over
I'll catch you

Shapes

I played it in slow-mo
For a better understanding
What's wrong with me
When I lose control
 
Pretending to be someone else
Hiding my inner self
It's hard to tell apart
Who I am as well
 
I go back to the days
When I was strong
And I didn't mean to harm you
 
I wanna go to bed and wake up
Having a story to tell
I'm gonna be the heroe I couldn't be
Defeating who I once was
 
I wanna go to bed and wake up
Having a story to tell
I know there's more than meets the eye
Easier said than believed
I have to accept it
 
Time goes by against me
I’m observing
This lie that threatens
My reasoning
 
I go back to the days
When I was strong
And I didn't mean to harm you
 
I wanna go to bed and wake up
Having a story to tell
I'm gonna be the heroe I couldn't be
Defeating who I once was
 
I wanna go to bed and wake up
Having a story to tell
I know there's more than meets the eye
Easier said than believed
 
I think I reversed everything
It’ll be my time
For tables to turn around,
Tables to turn around.
 
Someone tell me
Everything’s gonna be alright
It’s just my head
Making up these shadows
Oh, oh, oh
 
I wanna go to bed and wake up
Having a story to tell
I'm gonna be the heroe I couldn't be
Defeating who I once was
 
I wanna go to bed and wake up
Having a story to tell
I know there's more than meets the eye
Easier said than believed
 
I wanna go to bed and wake up
Having a story to tell
I'm gonna be the heroe I couldn't be
Defeating who I once was
 
I wanna go to bed and wake up
Having a story to tell
I know there's more than meets the eye
Easier said than believed

Kissing your lips

But you left
Without saying goodbye

I dream
Only you, baby
Autumn leaves
Of love

Like so many others

Why would I be the girl of your dreams, the girl you believe in?
The one who goes back home as soon as the day ends
It's too bad for you
It's not my fault
I am just that
A girl like so many others
 
Why would I be the girl of your dreams, the one who has only one love?
 
I know too well that life is short, and I've seen all it has to offer
It's too bad for you
It's not my fault
I am just that
A girl like so many others
 
You tell me that you love me
You still believe it today
Is all of that worth it?
Other people got bored before you did
 
Why do you want me to be different at any cost?
Why do you want me to be prettier or more interesting?
Look at me well!
It's not my fault
If I am nothing
But a girl like so many others
A girl like so many others
A girl like so many others

Indelible

I'll mess up a thousand times
You'll say it's not for you
But it's indelible
 
I'll throw away my memories
You'll tell me how many are useless
It's indelible, it's indelible
 
Like then, like never, cry and laugh, live and you'll know
 
Between the memories and pictures
I'll hear a voice inside of me
Between the immobile people
I'll feel your eyes on me
 
And like waves coming back
You're a pain
It's indelible
 
Like salt dissolves,
You'll leave a flavor
That's indelible, it's indelible
 
Like then, you'll wake up, laugh and cry, live here still.
 
Between the memories and pictures
I'll hear a voice inside of me
Between the immobile people
I'll feel your eyes on me
 
I'll spend every day here, where you are
I'll leave us empty like this, if you come back
I'll spend every day here, where you are
I'll leave us empty like this, if you come back
 
Between the memories and pictures
I'll hear a voice inside of me
Between the immobile people
I'll feel your eyes on me
It's indelible, you're indelible

The wave split by the sea

The wave split by the sea
Splashes against the valley and the mountain,
It flows briefly
Into the river,
 
It flows as a prisoner
Into the spring,
It always whispers and shivers
Until it goes back to the sea:
 
To the sea where it was born,
Where she got its liquid form from,
Where after long mistakes
It hopes it can rest.

One hundred and fifty stars

One hundred and fifty stars in single file
in this damp night that tastes like marjoram
in this splendid night that tastes like mallow
one hundred and fifty stars in this hot night.
 
One hundred and fifty stars or one hundred and fifty-one
and me counting them in this lampblack sky
I count them again and again and let's do the tango
in this filthy night that tastes like mud.
 
Someone throws bombs and no one saw that coming
in this historic night without lapilli or lava
Someone throws bombs that look like toys
that kill people but spare the squirrels.
 
One hundred and fifty stars and more than a spark
in this hysterical night that tastes like chamomile
one hundred and fifty stars or one thousand and five hundred
and me counting them again and slowly falling asleep.
 
One hundred and fifty stars and a single star
in this hypocritical night that tastes like Coca-Cola
a night so friendly one can sleep in a sleeping bag
one hundred and fifty stars in the center of the sky.

Noise of nothing

Did you really believe
we would have spoken Esperanto?
Did you really believe it
or did you just hope so?
But what time1 is this
and what electricity
But what time is this
and what time will come
 
What will the weather be?
Can't you hear thunder?
Can't you hear thunder yet?
Can't you hear that sound?
It's far away but it seems to be drawing nearer
this music we have already heard.
 
Dad, there's a killer, don't let him knock at the door.
Dad, there's a fortune teller, don't let him speak.
Dad, there's a plasterer decked out in new clothes
there's the skin of an old snake
that was just hatched
and there's a loud noise of nothing
a loud noise of nothing.
 
Did you really believe
we would have spoken about love?
Did you really believe it
or did you just hope so in your heart?
Today, eyes shout to eyes
and mouths sit and watch
and ears see nothing
between Babel and the global village.
 
Dad, there's a killer, don't let him knock at the door.
Dad, there's a fortune teller, don't let him speak.
Dad, there's a plasterer decked out in new clothes,
there's the skin of an old snake
that was just hatched
and there's a loud noise of nothing
a loud noise of nothing.

The telephone weeps

(Child) Hello!
 
(Dad) Listen, is your mum nearby?
Please tell her: 'Mum, there's someone for you.'
 
(C) Ah, it's the gentleman from last time?
Ok, I'll go find her
I think she's taking a bath
and I don't know if she can come.
 
(D) Tell her, please, tell her it's important
I am going to wait.
 
(C) Tell me, have you done something to my mum?
She is gesturing to me
she is whispering to me 'Make him believe I'm not here.'
 
(D) Tell me, how is your house?
Do you learn your lessons every evening?
 
(C) Oh yes! But since my mum works
a neighbor takes me to school.
There's only one signature on my booklet,
others have those of their dads, I don't.
 
(D) Oh, tell her I suffer
I have been suffering for six years,
it's your age, my child.
 
(C) Ah, no. I am five years old.
Eh, tell me, have you already met my mum?
For she has never told me about you.
Stay on the line, eh!
 
(D) The telephone weeps when she doesn't come
When he cries 'I love you'
the words die inside the handset.
The telephone weeps, don't hang up
I am so close to you with my voice.
Will you be at the hotel Beau-Rivage for the upcoming holidays?
Do you like the beach?
 
(C) Oh yes, I love bathing
and I can also swim.
But tell me, how do you know the hotel Beau-Rivage?
Have you been to Sainte Maxime too?
 
(P) Oh, tell her my suffering
how much I love both of you!
 
(C) I love you? But I have never seen you
What's up?
Your voice is different, why?
But... you are crying, why?
 
(D) The telephone weeps when she doesn't come
When he cries 'I love you'
the words die inside the handset.
The telephone weeps, don't hang up
I am so close to you with my voice.
Tell me, listen, yes
The telephone weepsfor the last time
because tomorrow I will be at the bottom of a train.
Tell me, stall her.
 
(C) But she's going away
 
(D) Insist!
 
(C) She's gone
 
(D) If she's gone, so be it.
 
(C) Goodbye, sir.
 
(D) Goodbye, little one.

Frankenstein

Thank God, Mr. Frankenstein
here no one knows about you and me
Listen to that buzz, Mr. Frankenstein,
they are rats, right-thinking rats.
 
I don't like their truth, it doesn't seem right
and they give me that evil stare.
You'll see, sooner or later they'll come after us,
they are beasts, more than you are, more than you are.
 
Oh, I miss it so much, Mr. Frankenstein
they were going crazy with fear.
Now even you, Mr. Frankenstein
are just a pale stand-in.
 
Their truth is crystal-clear bullcrap
and they give me that evil stare.
You'll see, sooner or later they'll come after us
they are beasts, more than you are, more than you are.
 
Better go away, Mr. Frankenstein
before the city takes its [first] breath
because here come the merchants and the cunning children
as numerous and brave as rabbits,
the housewives, drifters and high society.
And everyone is chasing an ending or an eternal dream
to get away a bit from their need,
they are beasts, hungry for mediocrity.
 
Their truth is crystal-clear bullcrap
and they give me that evil stare.
You'll see, sooner or later they'll come after us
they are beasts, more than you are, more than you are.
 
All that is evil was in front of us,
all that is good was in our hearts...1

San Francisco

If you go to San Francisco
pick a flower and take it along with you.
There is a girl in San Francisco
who, if you wish, will accept it for me.
 
Open your heart in San Francisco
and you will get back the love that you give.
I have been to San Francisco
and I already know what you will find.
 
Oh how many eyes
full of smiles,
aha, wherever you look.
You will smell the scent
in the streets and in the air,
aha, of a new world—
of a new world.
 
And if you go to San Francisco
pick a flower and take it along with you.
There is a girl in San Francisco
who, if you wish, will accept it for me.
 
If you go to San Francisco
pick a flower and take it along with you—
with you—
with you—
with you—
hmmm-mmm-mmm—
with you—
with you—
with you-—
hmmm-mmm-mmm—
whoa-oh-oh-hmmm.

Kronenburg Park

Versions: #1
I don't know what pushed you this far
When I see you at the park late at night
The car lights illuminate your body
Without eyes, without a memory
 
I take it that you've never known love
Not even when you needed it most
The words that describe you are cheaper than I thought
Within a second it started raining that night
 
Get out of that world, just a second
And drive on quickly, out of that world
Get out of that world, just a second
And look around in our paradise
And don't ask for directions, because everyone has lost their way
 
Looking for happiness in Kronenburg park
At home a woman unknowingly awaits husband
She had never noticed any sign of his insatisfaction
And everything stays as is
If he drives home again
 
Get out of that world, just a second
And drive on quickly, out of that world
Get out of that world, just a second
And look around in our paradise
And don't ask for directions, because everyone has lost their way
 
And everything stays as is
If he drives home again
 
Get out of that world, just a second
And drive on quickly, out of that world
Get out of that world, just a second
And look around in our paradise
And don't ask for directions, because everyone has lost their way

Black and White

Versions: #1
He walked in the city
Late at night
Suddenly across the street
He saw them standing there
Somebody shouts 'you don't belong with us'
Knife, stab, pain
 
Think carefully which side you're on
Don't think in white, don't think in black
Don't think in black and white
Don't think in white, don't think in black
Don't think in black and white
But in the colour of your heart
But in the colour of your heart
 
Dark was the street
On his way to the square
A taxi, it's too late
It's over
Who would want blood on the back seats
Of reality
 
Think carefully which side you're on
Don't think in white, don't think in black
Don't think in black and white
Don't think in white, don't think in black
Don't think in black and white
But in the colour of your heart
But in the colour of your heart
 
Don't think in white, don't think in black
Don't think in black and white
Don't think in white, don't think in black
Don't think in black and white
But in the colour of your heart
But in the colour of your heart
But in the colour of your heart
But in the colour of your heart
