sweets & cucumbers

I's raised on rock'n'roll
on water and wine
and the pal of my bigger sista
he was a friend of mine
so we loved to play some music
in jackets and jeans
hangin' 'round in the basement
and believing in dreams
sweets and cucumbers
my life is just a number of songs
on the radio
lemon and honey
still working for no money
that's how it used to go
then we moved to NYC
big apple and dimes
and I thought I'm gonna make it
with rythm and rhymes
I had days full of wonders
distraction and grace
so I got a feeling:
I'm still in the race
sweets and cucumbers

I wonder

There was this phoney phonecall
this morning
there was this flower bouquet at the door
and I remember that I couldn't reach you
and many things more
and I wonder I wonder I wonder
'bout this tweedle-dee-look in your eyes
and I wonder I wonder I wonder
'bout your lies
I am tired 'bout your lamentations
tired of lonley long nights
take a bet that you think I am stupid
you ain't right
and I wonder I wonder I wonder...
so whatever I'm willing to give you
you just think it's your piece of the cake
so your business is even through weekends
now gimme a break
and I wonder I wonder I wonder...

America

is this America I used to know
the wings of freedom changed it's constant flow
as our fathers built this land
they shaped the future with their hands
yet I don’t know you
you’ve lost your confidence
where are you going?
it makes no sense
I don’t know you
don’t you have no seed to grow?
is this America
I used to know
does anybody have a guiding light
keep your liberty
through darkest night
after dawn will rise another day
we will survive without the NRA
yet I don’t know you…
does anybody really understand
an evil spirit spread across the land
let us grow up within a different range
and all together we’ll create, create a change
I don’t know you…

from the corner of me eyes
an illusion - paradise
in the dawning of the night
our world turns black and white
but the truth is so much worse
I don't even realize
from the corner of me eyes
but my burden's more and more
doesn't fit through any door
as I climb the winding road
I can feel me heavy load
but the truth is so much worse
I don't even realize
from the corner of me eyes
but the truth is so much worse
I don't even realize
from the corner of me eyes
am I last or am I first
I don't even realize
from the corner of me eyes
since I try the best I can
have to stay a honest man
I can feel the big temptation
all I get is cheap sensation
so this road is much too long
it ain't easy - right or wrong
it ain't easy - love or hate
all the stupid things we made
but the truth is so ...
....
so don't you tell me no more lies
I don't even realize...from the corner of me eyes...

try to fly
02:43
|

|
If we follow our dreams
for nothing but burning
this is it so it seems
we never are learning
how to build them bridges
crossing the border lines
open the cracks
let in the light
if we walk through the rain
with no more sensation
if we usually speak
on any location
our life is a river
into the ocean
there is no time
to waste for a fight
Try to fly when wings are broken
try to dive when there's no air
raise your face throw in a token
words may come as weapons that we share
if we make our fools
lead our nation
staying at home
buying all information
it's time to awake
time to understand
or we will travel into the night...

Kaj je n´coj za´n fajn večier
an fajn večier, ´na sviǝtva nuǝč!
Te miǝsǝnc sije (seje) cevo, cevo nuǝč,
da zaspat ja kni (v)mahoč!
Jaz grem klicat španiča,
da driǝvi ves (o)kup pojdeva;
čez tri hore, ravno, ravno polje,
tam čiǝr je moje(a) dakle.
Ko pod ankǝč prideva,
zavriskajva, zadrumlajva,
zavriskajva, zadrumla-drumlajva
da vsak svojo zbudiva.

livin' in a suitcase
03:31

what kinda dreams are we living for
what kinda 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
livin' in a suitcase
dreamin' of a rat face
(take) this to embrace:
there ain't no reason
ain't no reason to run
what kinda movies are on TV
what kinda news do we need to see
oh what a strange world
only a funny farm
so take a look and find your way
you won't get far unless you pray
in our strange world
in our funny farm
livin' in a suitcase...

NYC blues

It’s another day, livin’ in a box, dreaming of a job,
Pickin’ up the crumbs, gonna get me some food now all right
Oh what a night, sleeping in a doorway, don’t worry,
I won’t blame you, it is fate, I believe in the government…. Huh
They will help, yeah I know, there is welfare
And soup of the day, yeah soup of the day
What I need to live by is a cup and a lotta trains
Heading downtown, heading uptown, there is live in the subway
So where do we go, is there any shelter?
There will be another night
Do you really know is there any help there
There will be another fight
In the street there’s a limo, what a nice car
If I only could see through the window – it’s a rock star inside
Is it Bruce? Is it Mick? Noone’s really gonna give a shit
Cause the day ‘s gonna end.
We’re that kinda people that they wanna get rid of
Yeah we are…
Tell me where to go now...
Hallelujah here we come, now I get it, it’s religion, it is Jesus himself
Who will get us off the street and feed us in the name of our nation
This is all what we need, no family, no kids, no money, no job,
Only freedom and peace and gentle celebration…yeah
Tell me where to go now
Is there any shelter
Does anybody know how
Can I get some help there

meine insel
03:13

Du bist meine Insel,
wenn die Welt um mich herum in lauten Stürmen schreit
Deine Worte sind die sanfte Brise, die ich brauch
im Meer der Eitelkeit.
Wohin ich auch geh, was mich auch treibt,
Dein Herz tanzt für mich, ich weiß.
Das Land liegt weit, ruhelos
kein Anker in Sicht wie´s scheint.
Du bist meine Insel,
wenn die Welt um mich herum in lauten Stürmen schreit...
Im Stillen wandern durch weichen Sand
das Meer vor mir... silberblau.
Der Himmel über mir, ein Spiegelbild
Ich dreh´ mich um - hmmm...
Du bist meine Insel,
wenn die Welt um mich herum in lauten Stürmen schreit....
Bei jedem Wind liegt die Küste nah -
der Wellenklang gibt vor.
Poseidon lenkt den Kahn der Welt
und Venus schaumgebor´n.
Du bist meine Insel,
wenn die Welt um mich herum in lauten Stürmen schreit....

walk around
03:28

I'm a stranger ev'rywhere
Knowing I don't want to stay
I'm travelling anywhere to ev'ry land
Heading down some endless streets
I know I'm on my way
Feeling that I've got time on my hands
And I keep walking 'round
I'm ev'rywhere
I travel 'round this whole world
And I can't stop but I don't care
A rolling stone still ev'rywhere
Don't know why I've gotta go
Is it desperation
I travel day and night thru wind and rain
But I'll come home some day
I'll reach my destination
And then I'll never walk away again
And I keep walking 'round...

parting glass
03:12
|

|
Of all the comrades that e'er I had,
they're sorry for my going away
And all the sweethearts that e'er I had
They'd wished me one more day to stay
But since it falls unto my lot
that I should rise and you should not
I'll gently rise and I'll softly call,
"Goodnight and joy be with you all!"
Of all the money that e'er I had,
I spent it in good company
And of all the harm that e'er I've done,
alas it was to none but me
And all I've done for want of wit,
in memory now I can't recall
So fill to me the parting glass.
Goodnight and joy be with you all

another star was born
04:13

I had a dream...
he was a lonesome rider
she was a river girl
they met in the midnight deli
which was the center of their little world
so it had to be
it was clear to see
between you and me
there was no mistery
they felt young and free
listened to the sea
talked about trinity
founding a family
under a lemon tree
they laid down finaly
under the stars...
he was a lonesome rider
she was a river girl
and another star
was born
