What Do You Want From Me
03:34
|
|||
|
Early morning wake up call
Shower toothbrush shave
Now get dressed and get things done
Like a robot slave
What do you want from me
I am not that small
Am I your everything
Do you care at all
Do your job and never ask
How are you? Thanks I‘m fine.
Now back to the major task
Don‘t waste any time
What you you want from me...
Virtual friends in internet
They don‘t give a damn
When you‘re lying in your bed
You‘re your only fan
What do you want from me...
I won‘t be your robot slave

A Perfect Life
04:53
|

|
Tattered and torn is how I feel today
Kisses of wine cool beer and champagne
Stains on the wall what have I done last night
Where are you now? Do you feel alright?
We‘ve done it for years
Drowning our fears
In liquor and beer
We‘re used to it but sometimes it makes us mad
Time after time we are happy or sad
You will never understand how it feels to be your man
You will never get it, that‘s why sometimes I use my flat hand
To show you I love you so
I‘m still your man
But you left me again
And I‘m falling apart
I don‘t know why you don‘t know we live a perfect life
All that hitting don‘t mean nothing just another strife
I know once more you‘ll walk through that door
With a bottle of wine saying everything‘s fine
We‘ll drink and kiss and you‘ll be mine

More Than I Expected
02:27
|
|||
|
Dark night, dancefloor
Suddenly you look across the room
Long legs, blue eyes
My knees get soft, I‘m hot, my heart goes boom
Before I know what‘s going on you stand right next to me
Is this real or is it fantasy?
You don‘t even say a word while you just smile at me
Then you turn and kiss me endlessly
And I never even thought I‘d catch your eye
This is more than I expected
That‘s the best that happened in my life
I just close my eyes and let it be
Is it real or is it fantasy
Is this just a dream?

Face The Night
04:12
|

|
Friday night and the time is right for some action on the back of this horse
So get back in the saddle this will be your night and you‘re gonna make them want you of course
So you spend the next two hours in your bathtub and another one in front of your open closet door
You are right in the middle of your time of your life and tonight you‘re gonna get your score
Face the night, let it guide you let it take control
Face the night, all you wanna do is rock‘n‘roll
Face the night, seems like noone‘s gonna stop you now
Face the night, it‘ll take you up and down, down to the ground
Tommy is heading for a pack of cigarettes while Maria puts her make-up on
John drives by in his muscle car, somebody plays his favorite song
Mary‘s excited about the gossip news, Michael‘s tuning his brand new guitar
Later you‘ll all meet in the club, indeed, where everybody‘s gonna sing along
Face the night...
You find yourself in a diner for some break, far too high to know what you should take
All you wanna do is party all night long
Beautiful and young and bright, boy, you‘ve got to face the night
Who would have thought that a night like this could be over by the light of dawn
So welcome to the punch line boy, tomorrow you‘ll feel so outworn
But the crowd‘s still getting higher and everybody‘s out of control
It‘s all so much fun and you‘re still not done, nothing‘s gonna get you tonight

How We Want To Be
05:00
|
|||
|
Here we are fools, made by our rules
Day in day out don‘t moan or shout
We‘ll never lift our mask, just all alone we may ask
Is this how we really want to be
Strong, proud, alive, oh how we try
so hard to ease the meaning to please
Don‘t show you‘re different, just lie
And in the end we‘ll all die
Is this how we really want to be
Ask yourself about the sense and the shape you‘re in, too
Take a breath, deep inside we‘re all individuals
Is this how we want to be...

Pieces Of My Heart
04:28
|
|||
|
Is it real or is it fake? Have you made this big mistake?
But how could I do without you? What if I were in your shoes?
This is you, this is me, this is everything we see
All the love, all the pain that are driving us insane
We‘re falling apart, let‘s make a new start
Collecting the pieces of my heart
Erase and rewind the tape in my mind
That‘s playing the song of a broken life
So let‘s put that crap away and let‘s talk how we‘re gonna stay
Well that‘s the next best thing to do, cause you‘re still a part of me and I am still a part of you
This is me...
And the love we had will never feel the same
No the love we had will never feel the same
It just makes me want to run away

Valentine
04:17
|
|||
|
You never walk
You‘re swaying through the spheres like feathers on a breeze
Maybe it‘s the way you talk
Each word a symphony surrounding everyone who is standing near
Don‘t let‘s waste our time, say yas and be mine
Valentine, no matter what it takes
Valentine, or if my heart will break
Valentine, you shouldn‘t be alone
So let me take you to the stars
It‘s in your smile
You capture with your lips , and oh, your fingertips
So gentle and so full of sense
You‘re playing with my drum and make the world around slowly disappear
I ask you one more time, will you please be my
Valentine

Here we are now my friend, who‘s the one to depend?
It‘s your chance now to proof who is still in your groove
Lonely is how you feel, what‘s the deal for you, tell me
Maybe you should call but your wall, but your wall
Is built and they won‘t take it down
And though there‘s nobody around
You talk to the darkness and you
Feel the pain is getting strong
Forgotten today, dead tomorrow
And that voice in your head is back
Forgotten today, dead tomorrow
So you play your guitar and pretend to be a star
This makes your forget all the troubles you are in but it won‘t take you far
TV round the clock, thrilled and shocked from all the talkshows
Eating ordered food for your mood, hey what‘s your mood?
I guess we‘ll find you very soon
Moaning and talking to the moon
You‘ll tell him all your secrets
Oh it‘s so save behind your wall
Forgotten today...
From the outside you hear voices calling you
But you won‘t take down your wall
And that voice in your head gets stronger
Forgotten today, dead tomorrow

Life
04:12
|
|||
|
So you‘re telling me how it‘s gonna be
What do you know about the ways to change your life?
The strange pictures you paint will never dry
You‘d better take a look around and face your life
You‘re telling me that you‘re leaving but you don‘t know where
How can you be so assured about those things out there?
Nowhere to run or to hide
There‘s no chance for you to escape your own life
No matter where you‘re gonna go
It‘s gonna get you, so just go on with the show
You wanna show me some ways to light up my days
Come on, hey, start right by yourself and let me be
No one ever said that you deserve what you get
You‘d better take a look at you instead of me
No need to worry, he would always be by your side
Right now you know you can count on his appetite
Nowhere to run...

Signs
05:04
|
|||
|
When I was a child my life was georgeous
With friends oh so nice, we were so careless
The forrest was mine, our house was so warm
At last I did have a family I called my home
One day I started to run with nowhere to go
No schedule, no plan, just me on my own
Whatever will come and wherever you‘ll go
There‘s always a sign that you can follow
Oh, I never really meant to hurt you
I didn‘t want to make you cry
I did what every child should
I‘ll find myself so let me go
I followed the stars and my own instinct
But I‘ll never forget what you told me
Whatever may come and wherever you‘ll go
There‘s always a sign that you can follow
Oh...
Even if I seem lost or incomplete you‘re in my mind right here with me
Oh, I never wanted to offend you
Remember, you had to grow up, too
Be sure I never will forget you
And no, I never really meant to hurt you
I didn‘t want to make you cry
I did what every child should
I‘ll find myself, so let me go

I Want To Be A Cowboy
02:59
|
|||
|
I want to be a cowboy and live free on my ranch
My farm house is my castle, the city out of range
Just me and my dog Rocky and my wife Mary-Lou
Trust me this is what I want to do
I‘d own a real big rifle and keep it in my truck
The neighbours call me redneck but I don‘t give a f**k
By day I‘d ride through sunlight by night under the moon
Buy cheap whiskey for my bucks in the saloon
Oh, yippeeayeah, Texas is the place where I wanna stay
Spend my life in freedom and don‘t care if it‘s illegal what I do, oooh
Oh, yippeeayeah, wanna spend my life in a different way
Riding on my quarter horse and chewing freshly gathered straws with you
Like cowboys do
If I would be a cowboy I‘d have myself a ball
Shoot beevers for my ego which is not very small
The town hall is my second home, got caged there once a week
But this is just how I want to be
Oh, yippeeayeah...
I want to be a cowboy, you can believe me dude
To my beloved family I never would be rude
And when I‘ll go to heaven then on my dying day
They‘ll be giving me a gorgeous Texas grave
