GET BY
Today’s yesterday’s tomorrow
And still no sign of a change
The atmosphere full of sorrow
Makes everyone feel strange
Get by
I hear the bullets live on TV
And the echo of the street
Fear has spread around the city
And rings out in each heartbeat
Get by
Will we get by
Through the crowd in the subway station
I try to do my best to live
Looking for someone’s attention
Somebody to talk with
Get By
Cause I want to say I love you
As I feel your presence here
Do you miss me like I miss you
Do you fear like I fear
Get by
Will we get by

What For

WHAT FOR
You just focus on the bad stuff and don’t see the good things around you
You think it was better before, you always criticize what people do
You say you don’t trust in today’s youth, that there’s no respect anymore
And you spend your time doing nothing, if I ask you why you answer
What for
Nobody but you
Would treat me like you do
But look at yourself and tell me what you see
Do you have any idea why your last friends do not remember your name
Did you ever question yourself before looking for someone to blame
You can’t play with fire without being burned, you should have known it before
And now when you cry for help, nobody’s there to answer you
What for
Nobody but you
Would treat me like you do
But look at yourself and tell me what you see
More than ever
Cynic and bitter
You’re such a bore
You can complain
Dwell on your pain
I don’t ignore
That you hate yourself
More than anyone
And ever more
Is there a hope of light
Into your deep lonely night
I don’t know
Nobody but you
Would treat me like you do
But look at yourself and tell me what you see
Now it’s up to you
And nobody but you
To be at ease with yourself and let me free

Whatever You Do

|
WHATEVER YOU DO
Even if the sun don’t shine
Even if you let me down
Despite all the tears I cry
For I’m a jealous guy
I can’t get over you
Whatever you do
Cause you’re the only one I love
Even if the sky’s turned black
Since you little baby took flight
Even if you don’t come back
Anymore to hold me tight
I can’t get over you
Whatever you do
Cause you’re the only one I love
No one in the wide world
Drives me round the bend like you
No one in the wide world
Kisses like you do
In a love song I would sing I love you
But for real do you love me too
Even if you treat me bad
Even if it makes me sad
Even if we are not square
Sugar baby I don’t care
I can’t get over you
Whatever you do
Cause you’re the only one I love
No one in the wide world
Drives me round the bend like you
No one in the wide world
Kisses like you do
In a love song I would sing I love you
But for real do you love me too
I don’t know
I don’t know
You’ve been distant with me for a while
But you know
Yes, you know
In your heart
No one can love you as much as I do
Yeah, yes it’s true
No word’s strong enough to say how much I
Want you to be mine
No one in the wide world
Honey, hurts me like you do

By Your Side

BY YOUR SIDE
By your side
Time means nothing
To my eyes
I’m younger everyday
And every morning
I realize
That I never felt this way
But since you came
Into my life
Nothing has been the same no more
You do for me
What no one else did before
Linked to your soul
I’m someone special
And I’m feeling fine
In the dark of the night
You’re my heart satellite
By your side
Life is sunny
And goes by
Like an endless holiday
So far behind me
The urge to cry
Has disappeared that day
Your eyes met mine
Right in the middle of the crowd
You made a sign
I followed you
To do what we had to do
What can eclipse
Your tongue on my lips
But the following kiss
In the dark of the night
You’re my heart satellite
Lost in the space
We drift along
Locked in an embrace
You and I feel strong
Taking a trip
Down memory lane
The past ain’t got no grip
Things of life
Start again
And now I come to understand
How precious they are
By your side
Time means nothing
To my eyes
I’m younger everyday
I watch you sleeping
And at sunrise
You make each day a lovely day

For Too Long

FOR TOO LONG
You’ve been away
Away from me
For too long
There isn’t a day
That goes by that I
Don’t feel wrong
I spend my time to cry
Watching the falling rain
Though I try and I try
I cannot kill my pain
I’m trying to
Picture your life
Far from here
The things you do
The way you feel
The dress you wear
Are you happy now
Now you’ve met somebody
Somebody who knows how
How to make you forget me
I was a lucky man
A lucky man till you
Cheated me with someone
Swore you’d never be untrue
I’ve been a jinxed boy since
If only I could hide
Jealousy makes me wince
Cannot say goodbye
You’ve been away
Away from me
For too long
There isn’t a day
That goes by that I
Don’t feel wrong
I spend my time to cry
Watching the falling rain
Though I try and I try
I cannot kill my pain

Sunday Morning

SUNDAY MORNING
I dream of lights
Of bright colors too
Deep endless nights
I have paid my dues
I’m not afraid
Of true loneliness
Since love decayed
My heart’s been a mess
I don’t wake up on Sunday morning
I’m so tired of the Saturday night
I don’t wanna hear my telephone’s ringing
Only when I sleep I feel alright
I rewind the scene
Is what happened real
Behind the screen
The miracle pill
Helps to forget
Everything you’ve lost
Things you’ll never get
What you miss the most
I don’t wake up on Sunday morning
I’m so tired of the Saturday night
I don’t wanna hear my telephone’s ringing
Only when I sleep I feel alright

Hell At Sundown

HELL AT SUNDOWN
Deep scars
Broken bones
Million stars
Shining blood on the stones
She’s there
Gagged and bound
Her brown hair
All balled up on the ground
She’s a beautiful girl
Or rather she was
She had a lot to live for
But her destiny was
To meet the evil one
That psychotic killer
Who spreads fear in town
Who will be the next one
To see hell at sundown
Wind-blown dust
Crawling snakes
Man is just
Not welcome in this place
Rock hills
To the end of sight
Here, he kills
In the still of the night
There’s nowhere to run
Nobody to call
And the fight’s uneven
For an innocent soul
Against the evil one
That psychotic killer
Who spreads fear in town
Who will be the next one
To cross his path when he’s hunting at sundown
A woman went missing last night
Her car was found
Parked on the roadside
She vanished into the night
And Police are still searching
And the killer is still out there
And somewhere someone’s screaming
And the sky still turns blood red at sundown

Until The Break Of Day

UNTIL THE BREAK OF DAY
If my words hurt you I apologize
But let me say what I feel
Not enough truth versus too many lies
Who do you think pays the bill
I can’t think right
I lose my way
Dark is your night
Until the break of day
You and I
Maybe we are
Some kind of
Strangers in love
And love is strange
It gets you high
And when you’re up
It brings you down
Most of the good things we tried to preserve
Look at what they became
You say we’ve only got what we deserve
And no one but us is to blame
I can’t think right
I lose my way
Dark is your night
Until the break of day
And step by step
I trip and fall
I ask for help
But no one answers my call
You and I
Maybe we are
Some kind of
Strangers in love
And love is strange
It gets you high
And when you’re up
It brings you down
Have you ever felt like a stone
Always thrown back by the sea
And when the water has gone
You’re not where you want to be
I can’t think right
I lose my way
Dark is your night
Until the break of day
So fight or flight
What is the way
Dark is your night
Until the break of day

Better Than Nothing

BETTER THAN NOTHING
This might sound weird
This might sound weird to hear from me now
I disappeared
I disappeared but I’m with you no matter how
Cause a little bit of love
Is better than nothing
I send you mine
From where I am
Don’t be too sad
You know there’s no reason to cry
Cause all that we had
All that we had in mind did not and will not die
More than ever you can see
That everything’s moving
You cannot change
The course of things
But can’t you do something
Look around you
All those broken hearts
Who feel alone
They all need you
Life tears them apart
And they’re no one
Your voice can ease
Music can ease
Anybody’s pain
Every time you sing
The same feeling
Seizes me again
And again
Cause a little bit of love
Is better than nothing
It cannot change
The course of things
But there’s no higher feeling
Look around you
All those broken hearts
Who feel alone
They all need you
Life tears them apart
And they’re no one
Your voice can ease
Anybody’s pain
Every time you sing
The same feeling
Seizes me again
And again

Love Is All

LOVE IS ALL
Pictures of odd dreams
Ideational streams
A girl is walking
Northern green fields around
Suddenly she says
Mister, take me out of here, I’m dying
I don’t wanna walk no more
Cause I can’t stand walking for nothing
I hope for love
But hope brings nothing
Love is all and love is even more
Love’s the wave that takes you back on shore
Or leaves you drowned
When she disappeared
Everything became weird
I’m falling down
But never hit the ground
And it’s awesome
Mister Twister leaves my dream undone
He just woke me up too soon
I’m nobody for everyone
I hope for love
But hope brings nothing
Love is all and love is even more
Love’s the only thing worth living for
So hard to find
A secret door undiscovered for years
Leads to the room of my disturbing souvenirs
Paintings of old kings are hanged on the wall
They stare at you as if they want to seize your soul
Black magic books gather dust on the shelf
I look around me and I think to myself
That anything missing in the world we live in
Is love cause without love we’re nothing
Love is all and love is even more
Love’s the only thing worth living for
And when you’re down it’s the perfect antidote
Wouldn’t you give the dearest thing you got
For a bit of love
