Change your world (I)
03:53
|
|||
|
I took a flight and came to see you
Trying to break loose
Breathing hope of a new life
I looked for someone true
I took a flight and came to your house
Not a word was spoken
Now every time I see you are falling down
I want to rush to you
But we don’t want to change your world
It would be so useless
We don’t want to make things worse
You don’t need no resolution
We don’t want to change your world
But are you strong enough?
We don’t want to make things worse
All you need is consolation
In the end
You’re afraid of everyday life
Always in a bad mood
You’d rather be protected by a lie
Than hurt by the truth
But that day you fell on the floor
That day you drank a little more
I’m sure you knew what you were doing
In that liquor store
We don’t want to change your world
It would be so useless
We don’t want to make things worse
You don’t need no resolution
We don’t want to change your world
But are you strong enough?
We don’t want to make things worse
All you need is consolation
All you need is consolation
I took a flight and came to see you
Trying to break loose
Breathing hope of a new life
I looked for someone true
I looked for someone true
I looked for someone true

There’s something i’ve been missing
All my live
Something about my loneliness
I’m glad to see that I am not the only one
Something about my melancholy
That kind of feeling
Drives me crazy
So don’t deprive yourself
Of being happy
Don’t deprive yourself
Of being cool
Don’t deprive yourself
Of being fool
Of being sweet kind and lovely
Don’t deprive yourself
Of being pure
Of being who you want to be
Don’t deprive yourself
Of being happy
I tell you this because
All the things we’ve done
Might be gone
I know how hard that was for you
I know the absence
I know the blues
The feeling that the night will never end
That kind of loss makes me angry
But we’re all in the same boat honey
So don’t deprive yourself
Of being happy
I tell you this because
All the things we’ve done
Are gone
Don’t deprive yourself
Of being cool
Don’t deprive yourself
Of being fool
Of being sweet kind and lovely
Don’t deprive yourself
Of being sure
Of being who you want to be
Don’t deprive yourself

Real Lady
03:40

Some people see you as a real lady
But now you’re living with a child honey
Isn’t it funny ?
When he’s screaming like a baby
Easy
Easy
Easy
You want to take your leave
There she goes to a bar with your car
Yes she's found a place
Spending all the money
You gave to her
Yesterday
Sitting on a highchair
With her long black hair
Remember what she said...
Now she’s flying to the stars
Full of scars
Staring into space
Spending her time drinking wine
A foot in her grave
Sitting on a highchair
With her long black hair
Remember what she said:
“I’m a real lady who screams
Now I need a change of scene”
Some people see you as a real lady
But now you’re living with a freak honey
Isn’t it funny ?
He only wants you for your body
Easy
Easy
Easy
You want to take your leave

My dad has gone away
02:59
|
|||
|
No more fears
And no more cries
Just remember what he looked like
My dad has gone away
The little jokes
The little smiles
I used to see his face
His scars
My dad has gone away
At the deadline
I’ll wash my tears away
See him running through
The countryside
Looking for a place to hide
Running through
The countryside
Looking for a place to die
My dad has gone away
My dad has gone away
At the deadline
I’ll wash my tears away
No more dreams
And no more lights
Just remember he was my father
Oh my dad has gone away
The little jokes
The little smiles
I used to see his face
His scars
My dad has gone away
Finally
We did nothing to make him stay
Finally
We did nothing to make him stay

Look at the ceiling
04:11
|
|||
|
It’s four in the morning
And I could not sleep
Haven’t been sleeping so much lately
I look at the ceiling
I look at the ceiling
I could not sleep
Because i’m seeing
You are sitting
In the livingroom
Looking at the ceiling
At the shadows of the past
Looking at the ceiling
But they never give a sign
Looking through
All that you’ve done
All we’ve lost
All it’s ongoing
I look at the ceiling
I look at the ceiling
Now I miss your sense of humor
Your sweetness
In the dark hours
I look at the ceiling
Dreaming of the happy times
Looking at the ceiling
But they never give a sign
It’s four in the morning
And I could not sleep
Haven’t been sleeping so much lately
I look at the ceiling

They say we can not win
If we do not play the game
Do you mind if I lose
And if I live this way ?
I don’t get enough time to waste
Playing that game
I only wish i’ll never send my love
To hell
To hell
I’ll never send my love
To hell
I’ll never send my love
A million miles away from here
Somewhere we haven’t been before
Does she hear all my blues
Walking along the shore ?
I don’t get enough time to waste
Moaning all day
I only wish i’ll never send my love
To hell
To hell
I’ll never send my love
To hell
I’ll never send my love
To hell
I’ll never send my love to hell
To hell
I’ll never send my love

Deep end
02:10
|
|||
|
It’s the same old story
We were thrown in at the deep end
Don’t make up stories
Thrown into the world too early
I am a castaway
Lost in the sea
Whashed up on the sand
Eaten by the ocean
I was cut off from our land
The same old song
You were facing death with your own fear
Don’t make up stories
Losing ground under your feet
Born in a family
Who wiped away my tears
My father used to take care of me
Heal my broken heart
Heal my broken heart
Heal my broken heart

Familly life

Have you ever seen my father?
Have you ever seen my mom ?
Have you ever seen my brother?
Have you ever seen them all?
If you see them
Tell them I miss them
If you meet them
Tell them
I love them
Have you ever seen?
Have you ever seen them all?
Have you ever seen
Have you ever seen
Them all?

Everybody knows that
You did on purpose
From now on
You will never be the same
But i have always known
Life is not all roses
When this world
Comes slowly to an end
Guess we never thought
About
A passion that might kill us
That’s why
We have died so many times
We have died so many times
In the silence of our crime
Everybody said
You did nothing
To make him stay
From above
You will never feel ashame
But I have always known
I’ll see you in the rainbow
While this world comes slowly to an end
Guess we never thought
About
A passion that might kill us babe
That’s why
That’s why
We have died so many times
We have died so many times
We have died so many times
Without knowing
With no sign
Without worrying
Without mind
In the silent of our crime

Too close to the sun
02:56
|

The rain is falling
I’m walking on a seafloor
See all those million tears
I can’t drop anymore
When your wings were burning
I saw flames
From the shore
Dad
Tell me
You did it for fun
You flew
Too close to the sun
In case you wouldn’t know
The reason of the fall
Memories come rushing
I can’t dwell in the absence
If only someone else
Could break
That defeaning silence
When I was a boy
Worried
Waiting for you behind the door
Dad
Tell me
You did it for fun
You flew
Too close to the sun
You flew
Too close to the sun
In case you wouldn’t know
The reason of the fall

Like father like son

You’ve got the eyes
You’ve got the same long face
You’ve got that smile
You’ve got those finger’s bend
You’ve got the soul
You’ve got the style it takes
You’ve got everything he gave to you
The same name
The same grace
Look at that nose
Look at that big forehead
That’s why people said
Like father like son
Like father like son
Like father like son
Like father like
Everybody knows where
You come from
Like father like son
You’ve got the same tenderness
Same sense humor
Hiding a sweet darkness
You make the same jokes
You give the same strokes
I’m sure you really like going out
You’re a spitting image of him
He loved you more than anything
That’s why people sing
Like father like son
Like father like son
Like father like
Everybody knows the day he’s gone
Everybody knows what he's done
Everybody knows where you come from
Like father like son
Like father like son
Like father like son
