It’s in everyone of us To think of the time that hurts Drifting in a nonsense world The tale will remain unheard What I need ... is lost What I need ... is already gone But it’s all I got Winded, at the end of dawn Sweeping the dust of my heart All I need ... is lost All I need ... is already gone But it’s all I got (Chorus) I don’t believe you I don’t believe you I don’t believe you I don’t believe you In the streets of despair (I don’t believe you) In the streets of pain (I don’t believe you) Where your dead soul dance (I don’t believe you) I don’t believe you

Louise Loves 02:32
Louise looks at the sight Of a vanishing star in the sky She feels deadly apart In this world of art A Californian ride Would do her good to warm up her soul She held a clue in her hand But she don’t give a damn anymore Louise lies in the sand And wonders where the good dreams have gone Hope of freedom and love Buried with the plans of a better world She’s about to lose her mind She’s about to lose her time She has given up the fight But she’ll be fine Louise loves at first sight She knows the magic will fade in a while No need to question why For she knows it won’t forever last

She's So Rad 04:07
Great time to hand up the guns And weed out the hoes for my little bird Things went to far yesterday I cleared all my contracts On the cross I swear Daphne, she’s not one of us Light-years from our universe Feeling lonely has been our weight But now the Big Wheel Is gonna change its plans (Chorus) She’s so rad, she’s so rad She’s so rad, yeah she’s so rad She works in a Library That she owns from her family There, no gun shots, there, no blood stains Just feel the love, every man needs to share (Chorus) She’s so rad, she’s so rad She’s so rad, yeah she’s so rad She’s so rad, she’s so rad Daphne, I swear I’m afraid I’ve never been used to such love affair It’s the most terrifying of all the things we’ve been through My 44’ baby, stay close to me, in case of emergency Too late to hand up the guns Fate knocks from the moment I repent I felt nothing, I saw her face Then came the noise, then came the pain

How many people are going to pass away ? How many people are going lose their faith ? How many people are going to pass away ? How many people are going lose their faith ? I sit and watch the world from my window pane I can’t remember when the things began to change Long time ago I knew an age of gold Another universe but now the dream has gone (Chorus) I’m so cold you know There’s no good you know I’m so cold you know There’s no good you know How many children are going to pass away ? How many children ? We all just have to pray (Chorus) I’m so cold you know There’s no good you know Watch the scene and draw me a magic poem God is on the phone And he says : « There’s a world for everyone, A world for everyone, Keep the faith my son You’re so cold, I know »

Love is on the street And still I can’t believe it’s real That she did this to me Love is on the street I don’t feel any sympathy She treats me so badly Please recollect what we used to be It belongs to you and me Love is on the street Here, there and everywhere I see Ironically, ignoring me Love is on the street It definitely makes me sick Cause they’re all loved, not me That man sharing with you memories It’s not how it’s supposed to be Bring me back to the place we used to meet The one that belongs to you and me Love is on the street Forgive my being sarcastic For my baby left me One by one she wiped our memories Then she crossed my name on the list I’m afraid I’m no good company Since love has abandoned me

I got myself locked in the city Trapped is my body and soul, under the Lady’s hold Family and friends gone long ago I missed the last train, going to nowhere I got myself lost in the city I'm a passionate one, you were right from the start Each time I could I took the chance (oh yeah) To make my way out of there to the greenest grass lands Through my window, life unfolds True to what God planned for us all Following the celestial code While we are waiting for a call Gone the bliss, I feel cloudy Like a mind needs comfort after a brutal lift I’ve been on top, now I’m falling But my memory’s so strong I’ll keep it real for I’m not bound to the ground (Waving goodbye) No I won’t be … I got myself locked in the city Trapped is my body and soul, under the Lady’s hold Through my window I see trees Yellow and blue my heart is green Through my window I see hills Beautiful places with no one in

All Around 03:10
You can have me On a slack tide when the instant freeze Won’t you catch it ? I will Take your chances Buried in the limbos of my dreams Won’t you try it ? I will And after all the different times Outside your gold mind Love is all around And after all the different times I should have died Time is nothing Mind the signs of my melancholy Won’t you call me ? I will And after all the different times Inside the goldmine Love is all around And after all the different times I should have died And after all the different times Outside your gold mind Love is all around And after all the different times I should have died

I Feel Free 03:01
In the city of Angels On a dirty good road I sold my soul to the devil I’m a man on the run So I chose to depart For a suitcase of gold I never lied to the mantra But now I’m tired to run All is fine down the dead-end street It’s cold and calm, a plain mystery I couldn’t tell why I’m in such a peace Ain’t afraid to meet the beast (Chorus) I feel free, there she stands on the road I feel free, I pretty sure she wants my soul Slowly she moved on closer Gave me a parchment of gold At the very bottom of it I saw my name That I signed with my blood She said: «I must admit I’ve something to confess And its’ a feeling that’s hard to express Why don’t we give a try to our romance And lose ourselves in a passionate dance ?» (Chorus) I feel free, I guess that just a kiss I feel free, a little kiss is no big deal Then I’ll be free I feel free, the demon fell in love with me I feel free, I just can’t believe it I feel free, she decided to set me free I feel free, I feel free, I feel free, I feel free

I’m strolling around in Old Town Followed by grateful fellas They just can’t help but admire The grace of my Victorian style I can hear the crowd from my room Calling and crying for the moon That’s right I’m fascinating I came to this poor world gifted (Chorus) Oh can’t you see that I’m in love with me ? Don’t be afraid, my lovely friend, my comrade I’ll make them pay for the things that they said I may feel uncomfortable Cause I don’t belong to your world I never give up ‘cause I’m strong And I don’t give up when I’m wrong I can handle angry people Who think they can beat me on my own ground Each time they lose and I win Who can hold a candle to me ? (Chorus) Oh can’t you see that I’m in love with me I’m glad you came, my little friend, how to tell ? You’re the sunshine of my quest At last you came, my beautiful friend I guess you may know my name I may feel uncomfortable Cause I don’t belong to your world Each time you lose and I win Who can hold a candle to me ? (Chorus) Oh can’t you see that I’m in love with me ?

Yer gorra cob on In your eyes I see the sadness of your heart Yer gorra cob on By your side I feel your pain This is something that I do understand Time after time You are searching for the light Of a different story To heal your pain ‘cause you can’t get no relief Yer gorra cob on Daddy stormed and Mummy lies on the floor Time after time You’ll forget the tears you’ve cried There are different suns Quiet worlds of love to come undone Yer gorra cob on Take my hand and call me Dad for a while

Xmas Song 03:39
There's a Xmas pudding on the table tonite All the dreams will be granted Xmas trees, strings of light Snowballs and xmas socks Leading us to a magical night This is a lucky day Kids make a snow man And slide on the wild ice December 25th, perfect day For brothers and sisters, Roger and Peter Santa Claus will be with us tonite The whole family will be waiting for him But while we were celebrating It suddenly turned into something unreal Xmas tree in chimney Followed by the turkey There's a mess on the table The crib is used for a battle Stuck to the wall The ginger pudding with dentures Cherry as a rainfall Into the mouth of my Uncle The ... melting And makes the ground dirty Blasphemous words The thing is getting worse ..... is crystallizing The scene is not as expected And after all we know the song So come on and sing along Goodbye Mister Rain Goodbye Miss Cocaine Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye It's a happy new year When it comes like a punch Injured in the crush Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye And a happy new year Neighbours witnessed everything There's a mayhem on the street The xmas police's gonna take good care of it Xmas trees burn and Santa Claus blow up to the sky Families are getting edgy Everyone is fed up with it, about to lose it Goodbye Mister Rain Goodbye Miss Insane Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye It's a happy new year Jump into my plane There's a lot more to gain We wish you a merry Xmas And a happy new year Goodbye Mister Rain Goodbye Miss Complain Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye It's a happy new year Sing along that refrain Come and join our parade Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye And a happy new year

I’ve been stranded and insecure I was wearing a uniform Waiting for something to occur Out of greed, I wanted more How does it feel to rule your life ? How does it feel to rule your life ? I’ve been walking on empty streets I’ve been running a million hills I’ve been starving on boulevards Left for dead in reservoirs How does it feel to rule your life ? How does it feel to rule your life ? Hold on to your dreams Hold on to your belief Under a rain of dirty tricks You’re the only one to choose to win How does it feel to rule your life ? How does it feel to rule your life ? How does it feel to rule your life ? How does it feel to rule your life ?

Far away on an Humpty land Dolphin’s on her way on a flying tray Way through hell and the chocolate flakes To the friendly place where Captain Boo awaits They have the bestest plan to defeat the dog again For he deeds it wrong, never wrote a song Danny always wears a Danish Krown (Chorus) Venice is dream, violin gone away My tiger’s green, and Rose’s turkey’s grey Hairy light on a spotty night The witch cast a spell to steal me copyrights She brews a potion in her crappy dark mansion And Danny has always agreed her evil ways (Chorus) Money’s a dream, but it pleas you astray My tiger’s green, and Rose’s turkey’s grey Dolphin: «Ooo, tell me Boo We had a rendez-vous We chose the wrong view when Daphne went blue» Boo: «Dolphin, you should know what to do !» (Chorus) Face up your fears, and you will feel okay Bring out your dreams, and build a better day And if your love ain’t real, then Rose’s turkey’s grey

Make Believe 04:27
Tuesday the 9th of November Two Thousand Ten on planet earth This is the day I retire ‘Cause I’m old and I’m tired to wait And no one seems to care So you came back like clap of thunder Raging like an old kraken Filling the lacks with your sorrows Right through my heart the pain covertly spreads (Chorus) It’s make believe Make believe Believe me Nothing is real, I ain’t no more to give The price has been paid what do I get? Certainly not what I expect This yellow brick road is a dead end Where all your dreams & plans constantly fail (Chorus) It’s make believe Make believe Believe me Nothing is real but the sadness I feel Make believe Believe me This trap I fell into Yeah ! hell what else could I do ? Just in case you don’t know There’ll be no more «Mach Schau» Oh Lord, it’s twisting me soul But it’s all over Beethoven

I’m shaking like a leaf, as I’m walking down the street And I do believe you feel the way I feel I’m smiling nervously, trying to remembering The few tips that my Daddy taught me (Chorus) You & me, that was meant to be You & I, it’s written in the starlights And I can’t help thinking to myself, oh no I know there’d be no harm, with you by my side Cause you’re the one that makes everything fine We’ll skiffle all night long, ‘til the end of dawn And never see things go wrong (Chorus) You & me, that was meant to be You & I, it’s written in the starlights And I can’t help thinking to myself, oh no If love is just a dream, we should all remain asleep And watch our souls levitate in the sky, flying ‘round You & me, that was meant to be You & I, it’s written in the starlights And I can’t help thinking to myself, oh no
