Give Me a Tune
02:13
|
|||
|
Since the day that we have met
You keep telling me I’m sweet
And that you want me there forever by your side
Well, you’re a really cool guy
And I’d like to call you mine
But you must know how a woman runs inside
If you give her a kiss
She will kiss you back twice
Give her a squeeze
She’ll squeeze you back tighter even
Give her a tune
And you’ll hear her heart sing
But don’t you even think of ever
Treating her mean
If a woman is exciting
She can start a real fighting
If she thinks she isn’t treated as she should
Any time, when blue or lonesome
A pretty dove may turn a monster
And you’ll have to deal with her fire-breathing mood
Give her a kiss
And she will kiss you back twice
Give her a squeeze
She’ll squeeze you back tighter even
Give her a tune
And you’ll hear her heart sing
But don’t you even think of ever
Treating her mean
Since the day that we have met
It’s only you that I think about
And I want you there forever by my side
If you think you’re equal to it
Here’s my hand and let us do it!
And may our love be always our guide
Give me a kiss
And I will kiss you back twice
Give me a squeeze
I’ll squeeze you back tighter even
Give me a tune
And you’ll hear my heart sing
But don’t you even think of ever
Treating me mean
Don’t you even think of ever
Treating me mean
Don’t you even think of ever
Treating me mean!

Dream Has Gone
03:51
|
|||
|
Dream has gone, it’s a morning of a casual day
I care for no one, and no one ‘s ever heard of my name
The city’s walking, jumping, flying, rushing outside of my home
I’m going for a ramble all careless and all alone
Heat of concrete, traffic with its racket and scream
Homes along the streets are the reeves in the stream
I‘ve been walking here feeling free and loving nobody, too
Until one day I wonderfully bumped into you
Heart feels tense!
Blood hails storm!
Fighting it doesn’t make sense!
Bang! The picture froze with all heat, motion and light
Zap! The bow-boy shot me, and shot outright
I’ve got a hole in my heart now and through this hole there started to burst
Upbeat melodies and swinging rhythms and bouncy verse
What has happened, was it a chance or the fate?
I’m sold on you, and pulling back - it’s too late
Alas, composed simplicity, alas, my icy “can’t-care-less”!
At once my heart is spirited and life became a radiant mess
Heart feels tense!
Blood hails storm!
Fighting it doesn’t make sense!
Heart feels tense!
Blood hails storm!
Fighting it doesn’t make sense!

He's a Cat
03:11
|
|||
|
He easily takes whatever he wants to
He's soft and smooth like a night in July
But those velvet paws hide the sharpest claws
He’s loose, he’s hot, he rules, he rocks
He's a cat!
He's dressed in stripes
He knows of his importance
He's got emerald eyes
And his tail is pointed straight into the skies
He's a cat!
Poems and tales resound his praises
While he's doing whatever he wants to
Hold the cream, it’s nothing to him
He's into heat and meat and women!
He's a cat!
He's dressed in stripes
He knows of his importance
He's got emerald eyes
And his tail is pointed straight into the skies
He's a cat!
He's a cat!
He's dressed in stripes
He knows of his importance
He's got emerald eyes
And his tail is pointed straight into the skies
He's a cat!

My Way
02:56
|
|||
|
Every time it comes to taking some critical decision
You get social, parental or brotherly advice
To fit your life into a reasonable, decent and secure framework
With a common way of thinking, with a common way of acting
With the profits calculated and the challenges foreseen
But if you strive for something more, for something different
This simply won’t work
It’s boring to just conform and obey
No worries, and everything is okay
But no fun! I choose to sway, I’m gonna make it my way!
The future is uncertain
You don’t know where you may get
But at least your life won’t be reduced
To wailing and regretting
‘Bout not acting, not trying
Not letting out your voice
I know, it’s bloody insecure but
It’s my choice!
It’s boring to just conform and obey
No worries, and everything is okay
But no fun! I choose to sway, I’m gonna make it my way!
It’s boring to just conform and obey
No worries, and everything is okay
But no fun! I choose to sway, I’m gonna make it
It’s boring to just conform and obey
No worries, and everything is okay
But no fun! I choose to sway, I’m gonna make it my way!

Human Woman
03:32
|
|||
|
I’ve been a happy creature, bold and never shy
Until I met this handsome guy
He seemed to me as gorgeous as a rock-n-roll king
And I got stunned, couldn’t speak out a thing
Oh, I wish I had a power to make him look my way
To come up close, to make him stay
But I couldn’t find my tongue, man it’s not fair!
And I just left thinking in despair
Oh, what am I to do, now
Being just a human woman
What am I to do, now
Being just a human woman
When I get the blues
I go and buy me some pretty shoes
So, the shoes were bought but it didn’t change a thing
Night and day, day and night I was thinking of him
When finally feeling I can take it no more
I came to the joint where I saw him before
I stopped by the bar, took me a brandy
The couples were dancing, alone I was standing
Thinking of how he used to swing and sway
When suddenly I saw him coming right my way
Oh, what am I to do, now
Being just a human woman
What am I to do, now
Being just a human woman
When he asked me for a dance
I almost fainted, but managed a “yes”
And so we danced, and the music was hot and loud
We jumped and jived util the lights went out
And he saw me home and asked me out next night
And everything at once became just right
And ain’t nothing I couldn’t do now
Being just a human woman
Nothing I couldn’t do now
Being just a human woman
When he needs someone to hold him tight
When he needs someone to kiss him good night
When he needs someone to make his day bright
You know, know I’ll always be there by his side!

Well, you’re in trouble when the dude you love is handsome and way too cool
You’re in trouble ‘cause you know that pretty soon he will be dumping you
She couldn’t bear to see him go
She couldn’t bear to see him go
But it’s okay now
She just don’t care now
The day he left was like a nightmare, all bad enough to break one’s back
All the birds stopped their singing and the sun changed from yellow to black
She couldn't bear to see him go
She couldn't bear to see him go
But it’s okay now
She just don’t care now
The days are full of joy, the nights are filled with peace
The world is friendly from the stars above to summer breezes
And the life is cool and exciting to live
It’s got love and light and fun and something to believe in
The days are full of joy, the nights are filled with peace
The world is friendly from the stars above to summer breezes
And the life is cool and exciting to live
It’s got love and light and fun and something to believe
Good thing we can move on in life and have the blessing to forget
And when reflecting of that time it’s funny, but still a little bit sad to think
That though you hated to see him go
You really hated to see him go
You are okay now
You just don’t care now
She couldn't bear to see him go
She couldn't bear to see him go
But she’s okay now
She just don’t care now
Easy as ABC

That's How It Is
02:15
|
|||
|
From the moment we’re born
We’re captured by the system
We are methodically adjusted
Ruled over and guided
To accept it, to respect it, to comply with it ‘cause “that’s how it is”
But to take a look around
And to see how things are going
How we’re killing our planet
To hear that planet groan
And it becomes completely clear there’s something serious we all have missed
But every day the sun comes up
Even if all we see is clouds
And the oceans never fail
To wash against the distant shores
It’s obvious enough
That despite all of our doubts
The stars above keep shining
And the life around us keeps its course
We are born into this world
Rich in questions, short of answers
What to do with the complexity
Of factors that surround us
Why do we live, why do we hope, why do we love, why do we dream and pray
I believe there is a reason
Though we surely don’t get it
I believe there’s a chance for us
To change the present settings
If we don’t fail to use our brains and our hearts, I hope we’ll find the way
But every day the sun comes up
Even if all we see is clouds
And the oceans never fail
To wash against the distant shores
It’s obvious enough
That despite all of our doubts
The stars above keep shining
And the life around us keeps its course
But every day the sun comes up
Even if all we see is clouds
And the oceans never fail
To wash against the distant shores
It’s obvious enough
That despite all of our doubts
The stars above keep shining
And the life around us keeps its course

It Happens
05:01

It happens
That even the most cheerful person needs a break
Sometimes it happens
That your whole entire life seems like a fake
What a stupid disposition
Sheer Holy Inquisition
What’s the cause of this self-torture?
Guess it’s just the human nature
I am walking through the city
Tall buildings are all around me
I am walking through the city
The sky is too far above me
I’m walking through the chaos
Of faces and fortunes, I watch them
But all I want to see
It’s the deep blue sea
Feel it heal my soul
Wash my blues away
It’s funny
How you get some creepy blues you can’t explain
Like as if it were sunny
And then suddenly the skies burst into rain
For the sky to clear up you’re waiting
Maybe smoking, maybe eating candy
Maybe thinking of some cosmic matters
Till your mood turns for the better
I am walking through the city
Tall buildings are all around me
I am walking through the city
The sky is too far above me
I am walking through the chaos
Of faces and fortunes, I watch them
But all I want to see
It’s the deep blue sea
Feel it heal my soul
Wash my blues away
For the sky to clear up you’re waiting
Maybe smoking, maybe eating candy
Maybe thinking of some cosmic matters
Till your mood turns for the better
I am walking through the city
Tall buildings are all around me
I am walking through the city
The sky is too far above me
I am walking through the chaos
Of faces and fortunes, I watch them
But all I want to see
It’s the deep blue sea
Feel it heal my soul
Wash my blues away

Streets of My Life
03:39
|

As I walk the streets of my town
I watch the people pass me by
They are many, they are different
They’re short and tall and black and white
They’re of all types that you can think of
Of any stature, and any income
But for me, of course, except for my parents
There’s just one person who really matters
And I don’t need anybody else
To whistle a happy tune
Don’t need anybody else
To feel the way I do
Cause I’ve got you and that’s enough
Never to feel blue
But to feel like laughing
Singing, smiling, living a life
That is full and grand
As I walk the streets of my life
I meet people on my way
For a second, week or years
Our roads run close or are just one and the same
Some of these men are nice or fun to hang out with
Some are even friends whom you can trust
If they leave, then it’s meant to be
It may be sad, but still deep inside of me
I don’t need anybody else
To whistle a happy tune
Don’t need anybody else
To feel the way I do
Cause I’ve got you and that’s enough
Never to feel blue
But to feel like laughing
Singing, smiling, living a life
That is full and grand
I’ve got you and that’s enough
Never to feel blue
But to feel like laughing
Singing, smiling
I’ve got you, that’s why I feel like smiling
I’ve got you and I feel like smiling
I’ve got you, and you’re the one for me!

Wop-a-be, rub-a-de-do-dee, pub-a-doo-pam!
I’ve got a guy who really loves me just the way I am
That’s why I feel the world is spinning just the way I want
And everything I wish is just surely granted
I smile at him, he smiles at me
And all the things become just the way they should be
Wop-a-be, rub-a-de-do-dee, pub-a-doo-poom!
When I wake up in the morning I feel life is cool
I feel the wings, and the strength, and the goodness, too
It’s really overwhelming how much love can do
I’ve gotta share my joy, I’m gonna make it ring!
When you’ve got love, life’s a worthy thing
Wop-a-be, rub-a-de-do-dee, pub-a-doo-pam!
I’ve got a guy who really loves me just the way I am
I feel the wings, and the strength, and the goodness too
It’s really overwhelming how much love can do
Wish to the whole wide world that magic feeling, too
Cause there’s nothing, really nothing that true love couldn’t do

Say Good-bye to the Past
03:13
|
|||
|
Once I woke up in the morning feeling really sad
Because of a love-affair of mine that was about to end
It was autumn and the trees were shaking off their leaves
I sat watching them and suddenly it came to me
That it’s not the situation I should regret
If something’s over – just shake it off, and forge ahead!
For everything that goes, it makes room for the new
Be it flowers, be it leaves, be it love that’s true
You’ve got to say good-bye to the past
Don’t hold it, let it go!
Make room for the new
And it will come for sure!
You’ve got to say goodbye to the past
Just let it go!
Once and for all for you don’t need it anymore!
The next morning when I woke up, I felt completely free
Knowing every single road that was open to me
I could choose what to do, and also when and where and why
Just the thought of it made me smile
Yes, it’s not the situation I should regret
The love is over, so shake it off, and forge ahead!
For everything that goes, it makes room for the new
Be it flowers, be it leaves, be it love that’s true
You’ve got to say good-bye to the past
Don’t hold it, let it go!
Make room for the new
And it will come for sure!
You’ve got to say goodbye to the past
Just let it go!
Once and for all for you don’t need it anymore!
You’ve got to say good-bye to the past
Don’t hold it, let it go!
Make room for the new
And it will come for sure!
You’ve got to say goodbye to the past
Just let it go!
Once and for all for you don’t need it anymore!
If you gotta say good-bye to the past
Don’t hold it, let it go!
Man, make room for the new!
And it will come for sure!
You’ve got to say goodbye to the past
Just let it go!
Once and for all cause you don’t need it anymore!

Off We Go
03:45
|

|
It’s good if you live a life that suits you right
But if it doesn’t, then you’re bound to finally find
That it’s a senseless lack of fun
And everything you see around you
Is just a hollow setting of some tedious game
No joy, no sorrow, no hope for a change
The days are clones, not a single one out of the range
And you start to bark or maybe even bite
Until one morning, noon or night
You put on your boots, you come out of your door
And off, and off, and off
And off you go!
You don’t even know where!
It may be south or north or wherever
For all you care! (Yeah!)
Just pick your road and make your way
And somewhere between its curves
You’ll surely find that special something that you need most!
You’ll never know what’s for you there until you step outside
The outer world is mysterious and wide
But it’s also round, so you won’t get lost
It’s got those bridges to be burnt or crossed
It’s got its beauty to make you open up your eyes
And you’ll see the things you have never seen before
New people, places, cities, scenes and much more
The rising sun, the clear blue skies
Above some unfamiliar but becoming site
That could be the place where you belong
And on, and on, and on
And on you go!
You don’t even know where!
It may be south or north or wherever
For all you care! (Wee!)
Just pick your road and make your way
And somewhere between its curves
You’ll surely find that special something that you need most!
And on you go!
You don’t even know where!
It may be south or north or wherever
For all you care! (Yeah!)
Just pick your road and make your way
And somewhere between its curves
You’ll surely find that special something you need most!
Find that special something that you need most!
You’ll surely find that special something you need most!
You’ll surely find it!
