Be Myself Again
04:51
|

|
I remember when I was nine or ten
I thought I was a man
it took another twenty years or so
when that thought came back again
no need to travel back in time
this little boy is still around and jumping
in rhythm and rhymes
I wanna be myself again
I wanna be myself again
now that I´ve saved all this snapshots in my brain
let me be myself again
sometimes it´s hard to keep
your destination clear in frame
another day a different way
and You are off the road again
stand up stand tall
bloody phrases made by the winning ones
it is never a matter of power
it is only a matter of fun
now I know
I wanna be myself again
I wanna be myself again
now that I´ve saved all this snapshots in my brain
let me be myself again

I know I’m a dreamer
but dreams may come true
I know I’m a sinner
as soon as I’m looking at you
I’m tumbling, I’m falling
like anyone else would do
but then I will call you
to let you know what I was going through
I am what I am
my personal kingdom
I am what I am
this is my soul
so love is like a raincoat
it keeps you safe and warm
no matter how steep the road is winding
it won’t do you no harm
I am what I am...

It Was Not Me
03:33

I did never say “I love you” gal
coz’ I knew this was not in my world
but it was you, gal
who was sowing the seed
I was used to run against the storm
wrapped into my coat to keep it warm
but it was you, gal
who made me bleeding
I’ve got to shut my eyes
don’t wanna see you no more
why don’t you realize
it wasn’t me…
I did never say “I want you” gal
nor did I say any other word
but it was you, gal
who lived on adream
You just wanna put it all on me
think you even do not wanna see
that it was you, gal
who’s acted so mean
I’ve got to shut my eyes
don’t wanna see you no more
why don’t you realize
it wasn’t me…

Carried Away
03:48
|
|||
|
this is another great story
about a man as blind as a mole
a man who constantly worries
about his money, his life
and his soul
he says "I´m walking behind You"
I says "Don´t hide your love in the shade"
he says "I´ve got to find me a princess"
and then he was softly carried away
softly carried away, yeah
he was softly carried away
softly carried away, yeah
he was softly carried away
and I wanted to sleep in the mirror
in this garden of sound lies my bed
and the leaves of a rose are my blanket
this was the most beautiful sentence he said
the he was turning around ready for leaving
he says "I don´t have nothing to say"
I says "I do have some questions"
but he was softly carried away
softly carried away, yeah
he was softly carried away
softly carried away, yeah
he was softly carried away
there was no time for revolutions
there was no time for friendship or love
smoke in the air, only illusions
as he had vanished into the clouds
he says "I´m walking behind You"
I says "Don´t hide your love in the shade"
he says "I´ve got to find me a princess now"
and then he was softly carried away
softly carried away, yeah

what kinda dreams are we living for
what kind of men do we still adore
oh what a strange world
only a funny farm
what sort of games do we have to play
who´s pulling the strings and who´s gonna pay
oh what a strange world
only a funny farm
living in a suitcase
dreaming of a rat face
I´m still in the race
but I can´t take it no more
I can´t take it no more, oh no
what kind of movies are on TV
what kind of news do we need to see
living in a suitcase
dreaming of a rat face
I´m still in the race
but I can´t take it no more
I can´t take it no more, oh no
living in a suitcase
dreaming of a rat face
I´m still in the race
but I can´t take it no more
I can´t take it no more, oh no
what kinda stuff do we have to buy
and what is promised is just a lie
oh what a strange world
only a funny farm
we are to live in a shopping mall
and our needs do not count at all
oh what a strange world
only a funny farm
there are no kids, no more family
hard to believe but it seems to be
only a strange world
only a funny farm
so let´s forget what we all have known
stay out of my room, just leave me alone
oh what a strange world
only a funny farm
living in a suitcase
dreaming of a rat face
I´m still in the race
but I can´t take it no more
I can´t take it no more, oh no

Home Sweet Home
03:55
|
|||
|
it's an early morning Sunday
and the British Airways runway
leads me to
a boring lift back home
so I lean against the window
just another rotten gringo
being carried through
the transatlantic zone
so I'd rather don't look back
it is time to hit the sack
it was a street of no return
that was all I had to learn
so I'd rather don't look back
four days on a semi-truck
I felt as solid as a rock
I got this continental blues
no more faces no more news
just the new kid on the block
take me back to my sweet home
across the transatlantic zone
it wasn't greener on this side
clouds of rain ate up the light
take me back to my sweet home
and the wings cut through the night
on my transatlantic flight
as I sip my orange juice
I get rid of all the blues
and we travel towards the light
in the early morning sun
our trip is almost done
so I catch a next-seat-smile
it means in a little while
any pressure will be gone
take me back to my sweet home
I can hear the engines running
so these wings will take me home

Ilalo (first version)
03:42
|

|
after all I´m still burning
with guards in the front
and the past on my back
I´m coming to You
after all I´m still learning
with the pins in my heart
and the dogs in the yard
searching the trouth
ajamba he-uh ajamba he-uh
ajamba he-uh ajamba
can´t You see we´re in motion
if You carry the light
would You keep it in sight
I´m walking behind
ajamba he-uh ajamba…
let´s fly over the ocean
would You reach out Your hand
so we wil understand
we´ve only been blind
ajamba he-uh ajamba…
so we will meet again
on top of ilaló
incarnation of men
on top of ilaló
dip Your hand into water
there is life in the blue
and it´s breathing in You
so don´t be afraid
ajamba he-uh ajamba…
take a look at each other
it is easy to see
what a life it could be
if we won´t go astray
if we won´t go astray
ajamba he-uh ajamba…
so we will meet again...

In The Jungle
02:12
|

|
after all these years
you blew in now
did you realy believe
that I was still waiting
you have lost my dear
I've stayed in the jungle
like an animal thieve
I have been on the run
so once I did know
every whisper
every smile I was
longing for
but you had to go
life was so demanding
and it took quite a while
to feel you no more
yes I stayed in the jungle...

Against The Time
05:15
|
|||
|
all my life I´ve sailed the ocean
in a tiny ship
felt that deep emotion
as I crossed an endless sea
I got used to strom and rain
as I watched the water line
and I sensed the years kept running
through the glass of mine
against the time
against the time
against the time
I´m running against the time
I have seen my old man fail
now I did the same
I have seen giants fall
in their ruins of their fame
against the time
against the time
against the time
I´m running against the time
I was learning how to steal
and the air of perfect lies
I had to learn how to love You
and some clean good-byes
