How Hearts Fail
Tickle
I am stepping out the door and i am stepping on the street
Got a funny little feeling got a tickle in my feet
And I roll – into the morning
I roll – into the day
I lost my head in a fight yesterday and I lost my heart all along the way
And I roll – into the morning
I roll – into the day
I am stepping out the door and i am stepping on the street
Got a funny little feeling got a tickle in my feet
And I roll – into the morning
I roll – into the day
Refrain 2x:
Mhm I don’t need much now
Mhm long as I got you
I don’t know what´s the time my friend
When it´s getting dark, dark in my heart, well, I ain´t afraid I got a tiger in my yard
When it´s getting cold, cold in my soul, well, I afraid to make myself a fool
And I roll – into the morning
I roll – into the day
Refrain 2x:
Yeahyeahyeahyeah I don’t need much now
Yeahyeahyeahyeah long as I got you
I don´t know what´s the time my friend
Everyone I love´s got to go in the end

Fistful of Satisfaction
When you are by my side with your heart of gold
We got a fistful of satisfaction
I was looking for an answer
You were missing in action
When times are causing trouble and there is nothing but rain
You got blocks in your blood and missed all your aims
I am the answer
Let´s get lost in action
What was right, was oh so right
Must not be – right now
You are the one I want
And I know that you know
Save me at night
Make my day
You tell me right
Right from wrong
Refrain
We got to keep each other
keep each other
keep each other
keep each other
keep each other strong

Big Love
I`m goin` to see another side
To leave you here was no big deal
Though I`m worried to see no bright lights
Maybe it`s as pale as here
I know I`ll miss you anyway
Though for now I don`t want to lean
Questions I wish you had
But I know - I`m not what you want
I got my money and I left you friend
But I hope you know I`m for real
And though I´m sorry – yes I am
Refrain:
I can`t deny the way I feel
Another side keeps calling me
Giving you up was no big deal
Another side keeps calling me
I`m goin` to see another side
For me it`s time to move on
Leave my stuff, carry my bag
Just to sign a better deal
I got my money an I left you friend
But I hope you know I`m for real
And though I`m sorry – yes I am
Refrain:
I can`t deny the way I feel
Another side keeps calling me
Giving you up was no big deal
Another side keeps calling me

Harlem Heat
She is sitting at the table, black and heavy as herself
Who wants to go downtown?
Not me she says I better stay where I belong
And aren´t you scared? She asks and laughs I´d be scared
All white and I´s the only one
You better stay where you belong, I better stay where I belong
You can buy me a drink if you think that you can stay here
She said: I am pleased to meet you in the Harlem heat
You can buy me a drink if you think that you can stay here
She said: I am pleased to meet you in the Harlem heat
How can you possibly talk about black peoples poverty?
How can you possibly talk in my place if you don´t even know how I feel?
And aren´t you scared? She asks and laughs I´d be scared
All white and I´s the only one
You better stay where you belong, I better stay where I belong
You can buy me a drink if you think that you can stay here
She said: I am pleased to meet you in the Harlem heat
You can buy me a drink if you think that you can stay here
She said: I am pleased to meet you in the Harlem Heat

Second Chance
Everybody is running
The whole world is watching
Reasons are hiding
It´s impossible to find them
People are moving
Like whole cities do
Everything in nature
Is moving too
Whenever a position can´t be another
Why even bother?
Things stay as they are
Whenever a position can´t be another
Why even bother?
Slow ain´t fast
Everybodys sleeping
Still we didnt change a thing
We´ll maybe change a world tomorrow
To wake ´em up we got to ring
Whatever is on your mind
I dont really know
The whole world is watching
And i feel i got to go
Whenever a position can´t be another
Why even bother?
Things stay as they are
Whenever a position can´t be another
Why even bother?
Slow ain´t fast

I never had the chance to keep up
I never tried as hard as now
I never was the one you called
But sun follows rain
As day
Follows night

On Purpose
Half is half
And we`re not one anymore
Cause together
We couldn`t be two
I still ask myself why
And I still ask myself why
Keep up my head
While you linger in disguise
Don`t ask me to
Push you away
You did it on purpose yeah
And you did it on purpose yeah
I miss you in the morning
Feel deceived in the day
Taken a back in the evening
Refrain:
At night I forget about you
I do, I do
At night I forget about you
I do, I do
I`m gone for good
But you don`t want to know
I can`t live my life
Cause it`s not made for two
I said we are through
And I told you we are through
I miss you in the morning
Feel deceived in the day
Taken a back in the evening
Refrain:
At night I forget about you
I do, I do
At night I forget about you
I do, I do

Followed
I woke up on a Sunday evening
And I felt like I had lost something
On my way up to the districts
All the blocks I know so well
I don’t believe in hell, this is it
My dark friend, where have you gone
Now I am here, on my own
Yes! I am so alone
Refrain:
I am being followed
By someone I don’t know
Maybe you?
In some dark hollow
I could be found by someone
Maybe you?
I put some ice on my blue eyes when I see your shadow
In no mirror on no screen – yeah
My sahdow can`t be seen – yeah
My shadow can´t be seen, seen, seen
Did I sell it? How bold and busted must I have been
People feared it, so did I, I wonder why
I wonder what, what I have I done, done, done, done (so) wrong?
Refrain 2x:
I am being followed
By someone I don’t know
Maybe you?
In some dark hollow
I could be found by someone
Maybe you?

Don´t Cry
Don’t cry for me New World Order
I´d really love to join you
At least that’s what I´ve been working for so hard
I guess you are the greatest promise
I ve ever been made
Refrain:
N. W. O, I am ready to go
Wherever you want me to - I´ll be there
When I came home
It was late last night
Who was there, sitting, waiting for me?
It was you of course
With a smart smile on your face
You offered me the hand I need
And I know it is the one
The one that feeds me
Refrain 2x:
N. W. O, I am ready to go
Wherever you want me to - I´ll be there
I kept thinking for some time at least
Twenty-five long years
I know your schoolyards, I know your streets
And I am sorry but
I hate your factories
Refrain:
N. W. O, I am ready to go
Wherever you want me to - I´ll be there
(back)
Keep Waiting
I sit and watch the lights turn fuzzy
Here I`m waiting underground
But sometime he will call on me
And get comfortable sitting next to me
I waste my days with senseless thoughts
And I don`t care if can´t sleep at night
Call it exciting, call it sick
I can feel my – little finger itch
And I am not a cast away
And I don`t care what friends might say
When it`s getting dark
again I realize he is my question mark
Refrain 2x:
Uh uh I keep waiting – and I won`t change my mind – Uh uh I keep waiting
He got me hooked up on a feeling
Here I am waiting for his call
I got nothing else in mind
But my dreams of a better time
I take his hand, we go to town
Drinks in bars and kisses to come
I don`t bother about trouble
Cause it ain`t a thing about right or wrong
And I am not a cast away
And I don`t care what friends might say
When it`s getting dark
again I realize he is my question mark
Refrain 2x:
Uh uh I keep waiting – and I won`t change my mind – Uh uh I keep waiting
Still sit and watch the lights turn fuzzy
Still I`m waiting underground
But sometime he will call on me
And get comfortable sitting next to me
Refrain 3x:
Uh uh I keep waiting – and I won`t change my mind – Uh uh I keep waiting

All I Know
I am stuck in a mess i call it a day
And better change my point of view
I know this was all I knew
That I could see everything
But the meaning of the meaning of the things I do
I step back
I am thinking of you again
Refrain:
I am seeing things that I don´t want to see
I am someone that I don´t want to be
I am doing things that I don´t want to do
Get nothing for free
I am seeing things that I don’t want to see
The streets are in a mess I call them my ways
Here I go where they want me to
I know this is all I know
That I can see everything but the heart of the people that I ought to know
I step back
I am thinking of you again
(Refrain)
I am drunk and I bet this was my day
I step from the bar and I
I know everything I know is
I got a rhythm in my head
This world sometimes makes me sad
I step back
I am thinking of you again
(Refrain)
Fin:
And with each new day again I understand the decay of man
And with each new day again I understand the decay of man

Liquor Store
Going out to meet some friends
We talk about the future and
How things will go on later then
We take it easy
Dem Conquerors are running mad
They trick and trap they treat us bad
Will this go on forever then?
But we take it easy
Refrain:
Right On Right On Right On
Everything in life happens to please me
Right On Right On Right On
I am waiting for your sign
Right On Right On Right On
Everything in life happens to please me

Here I am again
Oh what have I become? Now that I am all alone?
I think it´s over when I look in your eyes for a while
And you see nothing when you look back in mine, from time to time
We took our money to the liqueur store
And felt like rebells with a long lost cause
The same old faces still young men
Taking it easy
If there´s a reason not to run and hide
You´ll find in my room tonight
And if they put me in tonight
I´ll take in easy
Refrain 2x:
Right On Right On Right On
Everything in life happens to please me

Move
I am high on something I can´t describe
This place moves me, rolls like thunder
Call it a shock or a vibe
It makes me look down
Upon the whole world
White lights / my glases shining
I am a boy, I am a girl
Refrain 2x:
Whatever you want
Try – make it work
Wherever we meet
I – feel the heat
Few are chosen
Seldom we meet
We move in streets like one in a million
But we´ve got that heat
Those who don´t know
Can´t understand
And those who know can´t tell
But give each other a hand
Refrain:
Whatever you want
Try – make it work
Wherever we meet
I – feel the heat
I am high on something I can´t describe
This place moves me, rolls like thunder
Call it a shock or a vibe
Uh – won´t you call me up
Take me outta here
Uh - we got a good thing going
Take me outta here
Refrain:
Whatever you want
Try – make it work
Wherever we meet
I – feel the heat

Cheap Tricks

hesitation
I´d tell the whole world you´re my

Valley of Rain
I´m so desolate
now that we lay your body down
you know the sun shines on a black day
when theres no hope around
there’s a gap you left
it’s my only company
since the man came around
and you met your daddy
Refrain:
You have no worries now
and you dont feel any pain
but who can ease mine?
im in the valley of rain
yes i am
i had to cry it out
that pain was breaking bone
what am i supposed to do now
that im let all alone
the room you left
feels like youre still here
but the man came around
and you lost all your fears
(Refrain)

Disco
I ate an apple and i made a deal
I wrote a letter to myself saying how i feel
I´d load my gun if i had one
I can tell which way the wind blows, sister
A boy in miniskirt and high heels
Wrote a letter to his daddy saying how he feels
Daddy began to understand
As he drank himself to sleep with a bible in his hand
Refrain:
And its one step back two steps ahead one step aside
I hear a voice in my head
And its one step back two steps ahead one step aside
The voice says: go and find the lost paradise
I met the boy in a candystore
He said his daddy calls him son no more
He´d called the cops before he dropped
We put the bible in the shelf and locked the door
Everybody´s got something to hide
How else could we explain the fall of mankind
Me and the boy we ate the fruit
We commited a sin and we´re feeling good
(Refrain)
If you want to join us
Look out for a sign
We ll be invading
Your minds
(Refrain)

Listen to the gossip, brother
on the radio
I bet the revolution, sister
has been turned into a TV show
Is that where it ends?
That’s where we stand!
I bet you heard the words before
that they’re screaming in the streets
Words of anger, change to come
they fill a thousand sheets
Financial district in metropolis
Modern comfort’s hard to beat
a car bomb won’t cool down
neither temper, nor heat
Refrain:
Take a look at the walls
so high you cant look over them
Just dont answer their calls
tell me why should we bother and
Take a look at the walls
so high you cant look over them
Just dont answer their calls
Cause we re not at home / we re not alone
but our love shines on – love shines on
The helicopters going somewhere
on a sunny day
They are bringing bombs and coca-cola
ain’t no games that people play
I bet you saw it all before
They’re bringing up a barricade
Words of anger, change to come
I say: sorry folks – we are too late

Changing worlds and slip away she said
“sorry son, that i can’t stay
but i feel inside

a journey and

Typewriter - tell me whats new
Typewriter - Tell me the truth
Refrain:
I’ve heard this story before
But I will listen to it again
I wrote this story before
But I’ll write it again till the end

I am eating up myself – I can not sleep in a room
When there’s no bottle at hand – no: bottle of booze
Typewriter - tell me whats new
Typewriter - Tell me the truth

On the Green
When I was younger
I had to learn
some people have all the money
they have it left to burn
when i was younger
still under age
i started to sympathize
with the ‘Days of rage’
It’s beggars and hobos
along the rail
i say: it’s only their luck
their luck that’s failed
when i was younger
i had to learn
some people have all the money
they have it left to burn
Refrain:
On the green it’s a beautiful day
we’re lightyears away from getting dirty hands
on the green
we’ve been all the time
who’d say we’d lie
all the gold is mine!
on the green
I love riding my golden car
up and down the boulevard
to those who sleep on roads
i gave my worn out coats
when i was younger
still under age
i started to sympathize
with the ‘Days of rage’
When i was younger
I had long hair
and i thought society’s
really unfair
(Refrain)
Now – push it up band
how come – im such a rich man
i see the apes in the trees
and they’re cheering at me

While Hanging Out
There’s a place where we met the first time
I do recall, in my mind
Pictures of you / Standing in the taxi queue
I ain´t no trucker´s wife / but a sailor´s girl
You promised me / the whole wide world
Pictures of me / you took by the sea
I’ll be holding on / I ve been lost and found
Refrain:
Pictures of You / Watching the bears in the zoo
Down at the fair / we kissed at the marry-go-round
That’s where we met / while hanging around me and you
Pictures of me / Baby you took by the sea
You took me to the movies, well the truth is not as it seems
Pictures of you / staring in the movies of my dreams
I’ll stay up all night / and I’ll wait all day
A long distance call / will find its way
I watch the ships roll in / I’m writing letters again / To you
I’ ll be holding on – holding on – holding on…
(Refrain)

How Hearts Fail
Some people say good morning when you meet them at the bus
Some people say good evening when you meet them at the gym
Some people say auf Wiedersehen and others say goodbye
Sometimes you hear the german words, you know their speaker lies
Everytime we say goodbye i die a little
But there aint no need to run behind the bus
Every time it leaves i cry a little
And think about the good times of the past
Refrain:
Heart dont weap now
Heart dont wail
There´ll be a next time
If you dont fail
That pain is sweet we´ll
Never get out of this world alive
So don´t you wail
Sweet, sweet heart of mine
Don´t you wail
I ve passed the hours counting pages of my secret book
Wishing that it held some kind of truth
I met its writer recently in a mirror on a hook
I stared at her she stared at me we both had lost our youth
We are all as lonely as a lighthouse by the sea
Robots walk and robots talk and robots dance
I´ve given you my heart to care so please be kind with me
I want you to love me like your second skin
(Refrain)
