narrow streets 03:27
lyrics
buy track
If you’re not here to listen Tell me what’s the point in playing alone If you’re not here to read my notebook What’s the point in writing songs I don’t see the point in trying to gaze at sunlight When the window is always closed Why should I paint my wall with colors If the skies are always filled with clouds There’s no point at all, it’s been so tricky I see no point at all, we better let things flow Streets are getting dark Streets are getting narrow Streets are taking you far away from home Tell me something I don’t know If you’re not here to see me Tell me why should I get dressed up a lot If you’re not here to see my pictures What’s the point in drawing alone I don’t see the point in trying to gaze at moonlight When the window is always closed Why should I paint my world with colors If your eyes are always filled with clouds

happiness in a piece of cherry cake 04:02
lyrics
buy track
Woke up, everything was messy, I’ve been drinking all night long Think I’ll stay all day on my sofa, cause I’m pretty sure you’re gone Shouldn’t say that again, you shouldn’t take it so hard I’ve been walking all around the city, cause I don´t know where you are Audrey Horne was dancing in the diner when I turned my TV on Like a spider in my web, I couldn’t move or say a word Trying to figure it out; I wonder if you’re upset I’ve been walking all around the city; guess I follow all your steps It feels like winter in July, I’m so tired of tricky games Far from the sweetness of your eyes, it’s where everything begins Small things that I found (all the things that I found) Keep fooling around (always fooling around) In the coffee shop where we found Happiness, in a piece of cherry cake Happiness, hidden in a piece of cake Bull-headed, I always make the same mistake; never let it go I know it’s gonna be a losing game; better let you know I’ve been knocking my head, on the wall of your starry eyes And got lost walking through the city, but I don’t care it’s all right

almost with you (but not yet) 03:27
lyrics
buy track
Ginny said that she’s been running all her life, trying to touch the sky While Mickey said that he’s been standing up all night, trying to say goodbye… He said Here I am! I’m almost with you, but not yet And there you are, standing on your golden pedestal But here I go, I'm trying to reach you but I can’t… not yet Ginny felt that all her troubles came to an end, she’s flying above the world While Mickey felt that he’s still carrying all the weight, lost in time again... He said Here I am, I’m almost with you but not yet There you are, standing on your golden pedestal But here I go, I’m trying to reach you but I can’t… not yet Can see it in your eyes, See it in your veins, Feel it when you shout Now everything is wrong, it looks so cool, but it’s not I always find myself, trying to reach you… but I can’t

a secret love 03:28
lyrics
buy track
A secret love is like a lost flower Waiting in vain, full of pain Secret love Is like an unknown star Close, yet so far In the deepest dark Is this the blues, that feeds my soul Is this the song of my hidden love Lonely hearts Of the poor wretches Breaking their chests To get out of jail A secret love is like an open wound Turns into a scar, in my gut

pop dreams 03:42
lyrics
buy track
What a fool, looking for a lost train I hit the streets, while my legs are freezing cold Anytime, I’ll grow up I know there must be something out there to be found Touch the sky, feel the breeze Something happened, now I’m down on my knees Climbing up, jump so high My head is shaking, and I have to shout it out Pop Dreams (always coming back to) Pop Dreams (camping in my head) Pop Dreams (searching for another) Pop Dream I hear the call, foolish words around me Same old notes, but nothing behind them Take it slow, don’t go out I guess there must be something in here to be found Touch the sky, feel the breeze Something happened, now I’m down on my knees Think it twice, you should stay I know this minor chord will blow your mind away Then I saw, clearly what I had to say Open up your mind, it’s “just like heaven” Think I see, clearly what I have to do Come on grab a beer and fool around While dealing with my deepest fears

so entangled 04:21
lyrics
buy track
Every time when you’re in town I feel sick and I get older Every time you split my heart It feels so right; seems like I’m younger When you show up, I kind of lose control You show up, I always look above You show up, and my life turns into madness Every time you knock on my door I get chills; it feels so creepy Every time you sail away It feels so cool; seems like I’m dreaming But then you smile, I kind of lose control When you smile, I have to look above If you smile, then my life gets so entangled It’s like a summer rain, running down my shaky fingers You’re like a missing chord; hard to hear it It’s like a winding road, I always take the wrong direction And I feel like autumn leaves That’s how my life gets so entangled I’m now so entangled, that my mind blows up

you have the rhythm 02:24

He has the rhythm, he makes me laugh He puts bad weather, always aside He loves me so much, he is always there With him my problems, will go away He has the rhythm He takes me high, he turns me around He has the power to synchronize You have the rhythm baby When you rock me, when you roll me We have the rhythm baby You have the rhythm baby When you rock me, when you roll me We have the rhythm baby

the leader 03:05
lyrics
buy track
I will be I’ll be the leader of a revolutionary war I was born to be the king of hope and save your souls No one else Could see the ice is melting and the skies are fading out (But) I shouldn’t be so proud You will find That all my words are stunning, and they brighten up your life I will guide you all through fields of joy and days of pride Now I say That you should leave your stuff and follow me to where I go Oh man, you can’t say no Far from the ground (It’s where) I feel so good I feel so high In my cloud (That’s when) I feel so strong, enough to break your cuffs I swear I’ll break your cuffs I swear I’ll break your cuffs

sunday 03:17
lyrics

Sunday before dusk, the day is just about to die Blue turns to black and the moon is now the sun Walking down the streets In quiet nights, I´m so free Sunday, it´s a sunny sad day Like a bitter sweet prayer A stranger in my own weird land Like a camel in the rain Monday before dawn, when the night is running out Black turns to blue and the sun is now the moon Running down the streets In busy days, I feel a slave Monday, it´s a cloudy happy day Like a bitter sweet prayer A stranger in my own weird land Like a camel in the rain

winds of change 03:10
lyrics
buy track
I saw you shopping in a second-hand store I saw you waiting for the subway to come I just thought that you were so different I just thought there’s something we’re missing Then I saw you drinking beer with your friends I saw you hugging that guy on the square I just thought that you were so different I just thought there’s something we’re missing But I know, one day you’re gonna win I see it in the people I meet along the street And now these winds of change, never blew so well I couldn’t see my future But now I feel the winds of change I saw you talking to that guy without home I saw you standing at that building's front-door I just thought that you were so different I just thought there’s something we’re missing But I know, one day you’re gonna win I see it in the people I meet along the street And now these winds of change, never blew so well I couldn’t see my future But now I feel the winds of change

someone 02:14

When I look inside of me I see you watching over me in my dreams Your heart is my heat Your smile is everything Like a silent slow-motion film Without actors only smiles and tears You took my hands And you, forever in my head So far away from me I feel alone in a lonely street And the light returns at dawn And in the day I will look for someone I take your hands And I would tell you so much And you… And I…

the nightmare 03:06
lyrics
buy track
Rising over the grass I see my widow falling down Roses cover my hands I feel an emptiness along my way This mess is spreading all over the world Shaking all over my place Looking out my window And I'm drowning in this empty feeling I can't just fight it alone All these winters; a slap in my face This nightmare is leaving me alone I'm spinning clockwise moved by the wind Change is happening all over the world Changing all things in my way Just looking out my window I'm drowning and I’m spilling over
