HOUSE OF LOVE

RED RIVER WHERE DO YOU FLOW?
I SAW BLOOD DISAPPEAR
INTO FOREIGN SOIL
I SAW WASTED LIMPS, WASTED HOPES
ON THE FLOOR

RED LIQUEUR TEARS ME APART
I SEE HATE AND REVANGE EVERYWHERE I GO
I SEE WASTED LOVE, WASTED LIFE
ON THE FLOOR

MY DOOR IS WIDE OPEN FOR YOU
MY HEART IS WIDE OPEN AND WAITING FOR YOU

RED RIVER, CROSSING THE LAND
I SAW BOMBS EXPLODE AND FEAR RAISING HIGH
I AM GOING ON BOARD OF A BOAT TO FLOAT
IN THE SEA

HELP ME CHANGE YOUR MIND
LET ME HELP YOU THROUGH
LEAVE BEHIND THE FIGHT
COME ON TO THE HOUSE OF LOVE

Roter Fluss, wohin fließt du? Ich sah das Blut in fremder Erde versickern. Ich sah verschwendete Gliedmaßen, verschwendete Hoffnung am Boden. Roter Schnaps zerreißt mich. Ich sehe Hass und Rache wohin ich gehe. Ich sehe verschwendete Liebe, verschwendetes Leben am Boden. Meine Tür ist weit offen für dich. Meine Herz ist weit offen und wartet auf dich. Roter Fluss, der du das Land durchquerst. Ich sah Bomben explodieren, die Angst emporschnellen. Ich gehe an Bord eines Schiffes, um im Wasser zu schweben. Hilf mir deine Gedanken zu verändern. Lass mich dir helfen. Lass den Kampf hinter dir. Komm in das Haus der Liebe.

DON'T CRY

CLIMBING UP MOUNTAINS IN THE SPRING
SLIDING BACK DOWN ON SNOWFIELDS
HOMEMADE STRAWBERRY JAM ON OUR CHEEKS
WE WILL BE DANCING IN THE KITCHEN

DON´T YOU CRY MY BABY
DON´T YOU CRY TONIGHT
HARD TIMES ARE LYING AHEAD
WE TAKE IT AS IT COMES

DON´T CRY MY BABYDON´T YOU CRY TONIGHT
DON´T YOU CRY MY BABY
YOU´LL BE FINE AND THE
FUTURE IS LOOKING BRIGHT

WE FOLLOW THE STREAM FROM THE SOURCE TO THE SEA
I´LL BE TELLING YOU STORIES FROM WHEN I FIRST SAW YOU
THERE IS SPACE IN THE HAMAC FOR US ALL AND
WE WILL LISTEN TO YOUR SONG

Im Frühling die Berge hinauf wandern, und über Schneefelder zurück hinunterrutschen. Mit selbst gemachter Erdbeermarmelade auf unseren Wangen werden wir in der Küche tanzen. Weine nicht mein Kind, nicht heute Nacht. Schwere Zeiten kommen auf uns zu. Wir nehmen es so wie es kommt. Alles wird gut und die Zukunft liegt leuchtend vor dir. Wir folgen dem Fluss von der Quelle bis zum Meer. Ich werde dir Geschichten erzählen über unsere erste Begegnung. In der Hängematte ist genug Platz für uns alle und dort werden wir deinem Lied lauschen.

PATIENCE IN SHORT SUPPLY

WHY DID YOU SAY YES
WHEN YOU FELT LIKE SAYING NO?
WHY DID YOU STAY
WHEN YOU FELT THE URGE TO GO?
WHY DID YOU SHUT UP?
TO HAVE THE PEACE RESTORED?

YOU THINK YOU ARE TOO OLD
WHEN YOU LOOK IN THE MIRROW.
YOU PICK THE CLASSIC BLACK
WHEN YOUR MIND SCREAMS BRIGHT RED.
YOU BLUSH WHEN A MAN
TRIES TO BE NICE TO YOU.

I TRY TO DEFINE REALITY
AND WE ALL FIND THE PATIENCE
IN SHORT SUPPLY

WHEN YOU HAVE AN IDEA
YOU ARE HOLDING IT BACK.
YOUR POINT OF VIEW IS HIGHLY INFLUENCED BY
YOUR MOTHER, YOUR BROTHER.
I DO BELIEVE IN YOU.

I TRY TO DEFINE REALITY
AND WE ALL FIND THE PATIENCE
IN SHORT SUPPLY

WHEN YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE SHOUTING
ALL WE HEARD WAS A WHISPER.
AND YOU PRETENDED TO LISTEN
BUT YOU DIDN´T REALLY CARE.
AND YOU WANTED TO STAY FIRM
BUT IN THE END YOU GAVE IN.

I TRY TO DEFINE REALITY
AND WE ALL FIND THE PATIENCE
IN SHORT SUPPLY

DEAR FRIEND

I´D LIKE TO BLAME YOU
FOR EVERYTHING
I CAN NOT GET HOLD OF YOU
WHAT KIND OF FRIEND YOU ARE,
WHEN YOU ARE NEVER NEAR
WHEN I NEED YOU SO
DO I ASK FOR TOO MUCH WHEN I WANT TO TALK TO YOU?
ARE YOU FRIGHTEND TO LOOSE YOUR HOLD? I AM
DO I HAVE TO LIVE WITH MEMORIES FROM THE PAST
WHILE WE ARE STILL YOUNG?
YOU ARE WHERE I AM
STILL YOU ARE NOT NEAR AND
I DID NOT SLEEP LAST NIGHT
THEY KEEP WATCHING YOU
WHAT YOU DO
WHEN YOU ARE MEETING ME
I´D LIKE TO BE STRONGER BUT I AM NOT ALLOWED
TO SHOW YOU MY LOVE
DO I ASK FOR TOO MUCH WHEN I WANT TO TOUCH YOU?
ARE YOU FRIGHTEND TO FALL IN LOVE? I AM.
A LOVE AFFAIR WITH YOU IS WHAT I WANT
WHILE WE ARE STILL YOUNG

THINGS ARE NOT GETTING BETTER

THINGS ARE NOT GETTING BETTER
SINCE WE ARE APART
I WISH YOU WOULD CALL ME
AND TELL ME WHERE YOU ARE
I FEAR TO HEAR YOUR SWEET, YOUR SOFTLY SPOKEN WORDS
THEY ARE DRIPPING INTO MY MOUTH LIKE HONEY
I SWOLLOW THEM DOWN
AND OVER THE TICKLE IN MY THROUGHT
I KNOW IT WON´T WORK OUT
BETWEEN YOU AND ME

THERE´S A CRACK IN MY HEAD WHERE I SEE HAPPY CHILDREN PLAYING
I KNOW IT´S NOT REAL SO I COULD GO CRAZY FOR A WHILE
NOW THERE´S A CRACK IN MY HEART

IF I LIVE IN SILENCE IF I LIVE IN FEAR
YOU ARE NOT GONNA FIND ME
YOU WON´T BE NEAR
I FEAR TO HEAR YOUR SWEET, YOUR SOFTLY SPOKEN WORDS
THEY ARE DRIPPING INTO MY MOUTH LIKE HONEY
I SWOLLOW THEM DOWN
AND OVER THE TICKLE IN MY THROUGHT
I KNOW IT WON´T WORK OUT
BETWEEN YOU AND ME

THERE´S A CRACK IN MY HEAD WHERE I SEE HAPPY CHILDREN PLAYING
I KNOW IT´S NOT REAL SO I COULD GO CRAZY FOR A WHILE
NOW THERE´S A CRACK IN MY HEART

IF YOU WOULD COME TO SEE ME
IT WOULD EASE MY PAIN
I WISH YOU COULD LOVE ME
DESPITE THE THINGS I HAVE DONE
I FEAR TO HEAR YOUR SWEET, YOUR SOFTLY SPOKEN WORDS
THEY ARE DRIPPING INTO MY MOUTH LIKE HONEY
I SWOLLOW THEM DOWN
AND OVER THE TICKLE IN MY THROUGHT
I KNOW IT WON´T WORK OUT
BETWEEN YOU AND ME

THERE´S A CRACK IN MY HEAD WHERE I SEE HAPPY CHILDREN PLAYING
I KNOW IT´S NOT REAL SO I COULD GO CRAZY FOR A WHILE
NOW THERE´S A CRACK IN MY HEART

READ MY LIPS

A LITTLE BIT OF TOUCHING THE LINE ALONG THE NECK
A TIGHT GRIP AROUND THE WAIST
A SMOOTH AND GENTLE SWING
A PAIR OF HANDS AND LUSTERN EYES EXPLORING UNKNOWN LAND
YOU STUPID BITCH WHAT´S WRONG WITH YOU
DON´T PUT ON SUCH A SHOW
READ MY LIPS
I SAID NO

A LITTLE BIT OF RUBBING
A LITTLE BIT OF MMMH..
A HAND BETWEEN LEGS
DOWN RUN THE SWEATPEARLS
SMILE AT ME YOU GORGEOUS TOY
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH RIGHT NOW
SIT DOWN ON MY LAP
AND I LIKE THE WAY YOU SMELL
READ MY LIPS
I SAID NO

WORDS LIKE BRICKS

DON´T EXPECT ME TO WORSHIP OR LOVE YOU SO TRUE
DON´T EXPECT ME TO KNOW WHAT TO DO
LET´S TAKE THE FIRST STEP AND SPEND THE NIGHT TOGETHER
AT THE BREAKFASTTABLE YOU CAN TELL ME AGAIN
WHAT YOU TOLD ME LAST NIGHT IN YOUR GIN STOKEN VOICE

WORDS LIKE BRICKS TO BUILD A WALL
WORDS LIKE ONE BIG WATERFALL
SOME WORDS ARE RIPE
RIPE LIKE A GRAPE
UNSPOKEN WORDS PUMPING BLOOD IN MY HEAD
WORDS SPOKEN IN FEVER
WORDS SPOKEN IN LOVE
MOST WORDS I HAVE SPOKEN WHEN I WAS DRUNK

I THINK OF WHAT YOU HAVE TOLD ME LAST NIGHT
YOU SAID I LOVE
I LOVE YOU SO TRUE
WITH GESTURES SO TENDER THEY WERE MAKING ME BLUE
´CAUSE YOU TOLD ME THOSE WORDS IN YOUR GIN STROKEN VOICE

WORDS LIKE BRICKS TO BUILD A WALL
WORDS LIKE ONE BIG WATERFALL
SOME WORDS ARE RIPE
RIPE LIKE A GRAPE
UNSPOKEN WORDS PUMPING BLOOD IN MY HEAD
WORDS SPOKEN IN FEVER
WORDS SPOKEN IN LOVE
MOST WORDS I HAVE SPOKEN WHEN I WAS DRUNK

I CARRY A LETTER
A LETTER FROM YOU
I COULD SPIT ON THE PAPER
I´D RATHER SPIT ON YOU
BUT YOU ARE NOT HERE AND YOU NEVER WILL BE
SO I MIGHT AS WELL CARRY ON DOING
WHAT A LONG TIME AGO I HAVE LEARNED
TO SPEAK

WORDS LIKE BRICKS TO BUILD A WALL
WORDS LIKE ONE BIG WATERFALL
SOME WORDS ARE RIPE
RIPE LIKE A GRAPE
UNSPOKEN WORDS PUMPING BLOOD IN MY HEAD
WORDS SPOKEN IN FEVER
WORDS SPOKEN IN LOVE
MOST WORDS I HAVE SPOKEN WHEN I WAS DRUNK

NOT THE END

YOU STILL MEAN A LOT TO ME
YOU ARE ALWAYS ON MY MIND
I´VE MISSED MY CHANCE TO SAY GOODBYE
THE DAY I HAD TO STAND NEXT TO YOUR GRAVE
I REFUSED TO ACCEPT WHAT HAD HAPPEND-WHAT A NIGHTMARE
I´VE COME TO A CONCLUSION
I CAN´T GO ON LIKE THIS
AND YOU ARE THE FIRST ONE TO KNOW
THE GRAVE CAN´T BE THE END
THE GRIEF MUST NOT REMAIN
SADNESS HAS TO GO
POOR LOST LITTLE SOUL
I KNOW I HAVE TO BE STRONG
I´M ALL ON MY OWN
BUT I WON´T GIVE IN
YOU´D HAVE DONE THE SAME
NOW I´D LIKE TO SAY GOODBYE
I EVEN TRY IT WITH A SMILE
YOU KNOW IT TOOK ME SOME TIME
THE BURDEN OF LIFE WEIGHTS ME DOWN TO THE GROUND

PERFECT ACTRESS

I WATCH THE PERFECT ACTRESS HOW SHE FOOLS THE AUDIENCE.
I KNOW I SHOULD NOT BE OFFENDED, THAT YOU FEEL
THE URGE TO MOVE ON.

YOU HAVE GOT DAYS WHERE YOU DON´T KNOW WHAT TO SAY
OR WHERE TO GO, SO UNBEARABLE IN YOUR HEAD,
IN YOUR CHEST AND IN YOUR SOUL,
HOPE TOMORROW CHANGES ALL, AND YOUR HEARTBEAT WILL BE STRONGER.

I CAN FEEL THE TENION WHEN I ENTER THE ROOM.
TOO MANY EXPECTATIONS AND NEVER QUITE ENOUGH ROOM FOR THE

DAYS WHERE I DON´T KNOW WHAT TO SAY OR WHERE TO GO,
SO UNBEARABLE IN MY HEAD, IN MY CHEST AND IN MY SOUL,
HOPE TOMORROW CHANGES ALL
AND MY HEARTBEAT WILL BE STRONGER.

WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE GIRL, THAT YOU SAY YOU WILL NEVER FORGIVE.
YOU ARE TRULY NOT SO PERFECT AND YOU KNOW GIRL YOU ARE FOOLING YOURSELF.

YOU HAVE GOT DAYS WHERE YOU DON´T KNOW WHAT TO SAY
OR WHERE TO GO, SO UNBEARABLE IN YOUR HEAD,
IN YOUR CHEST AND IN YOUR SOUL,
HOPE TOMORROW CHANGES ALL, AND YOUR HEARTBEAT WILL BE STRONGER.

Little pleasures

I do the shopping and I wash the car,
dinner has to be ready and my temper has to be steady.
I hang up the washing, take the rubbish out,
read the story at bedtime fort he children out loud.
Don´t get me wrong,I am not complaining,
I have got my little pleasures!
I sit down with a coffee in the afternoon,
grab a magazin in the livingroom,
it is the famous and rich I can´t wait to see.
The jetset has taken a seat next to me.

Oh, she looks lovley in that dress.
Upps, I can see her naked breast.
If she is taking a few days off,
couldn´t I replace her on the catwalk?

My mother comes by and has a chat with me,
she tells me how she suffers from her bad, bad knee.
I know my duties when my husband comes from work.
He needs some attention and he wants some sex.
Don´t get me wrong,I am not complaining,
I have got my little pleasures!
I sit down with a coffee in the afternoon,
grab a magazin in the livingroom,
it is the famous and rich I can´t wait to see.
The jetset has taken a seat next to me.

Oh, she looks lovley in that dress.
Upps, I can see her naked breast.
If she is taking a few days off,
couldn´t I replace her on the catwalk?

MISERY

Misery you have come my way
Misery you have come
Misery
I love you but you don´t love me the way I am

I know, I must not be so sad
But I am
And all I do is cry

Winter will be mine
Winter will be mine
Winter will be mine

Misery, you have come my way
Misery, you have come
Misery
I told you that I love you
And you did not

Now the world seems so dark and grey
And I know
I have to walk away

From every place I know
From every place I have been
From every place that reminds me of you

Real Diamonds

Haven´t you noticed that I try to please you so?
Too early to go to bed, on one of our evenings on the beach.
We sat down for a beer, drinking and talking for a while.
I moved my chair towards the sea and sat there in silence.
I thought about Nerudas poems and felt a little jealous,
because of the passion and depth of feelings he has gone through.
And while thinking about all that, I saw somthing most beautiful.
When the moonbeam gets cought in the wave, I could not be much more happier.
Real diamonds are floating on the surface and all my sorrows gently drown in the sea.
Haven´t you noticed that I am so in love with you?
You are covered in dirt and dump of your life.
Your fists are holding on tight to the dark side of life.
Life sometimes is a wild and rough storm.
Let me be your shelter where you can hide.
Together we wait fort he sun to raise again, while we can not say goodbye to the stars.
When the moonbeam gets cought in the wave, I could not be much more happier.
Real diamonds are floating on the surface and all my sorrows gently drown in the sea.

JEALOUSY IS A HUNGRY FOX

DESPERATE TO BE HEARD AND TO BE SEEN
MY BODY ACHES WITH JEALOUSY
WHY DO YOU RISE SO EARLY FROM OUR BED OF FRIENDSHIP?
CAN´T EXPLAIN IT FROM A LOGICAL POINT OF VIEW

HOW PATHETIC LIVE CAN BE
ESPECIALLY AFTER YOU PISSED ME OFF SO MUCH

A TENDER KISS FOR THOSE YOU LOVE
A KICK IN THE ASS FOR THOSE YOU DON´T LIKE
YOU WANT TO BE INDEPENDENT AND FREE
HAPPY, FRAGILE AND STRONG LIKE ME

HOW PATHETIC LIFE CAN BE
ESPECIALLY AFTER YOU PISSED ME OFF SO MUCH

YOU CONSTANTLY REMIND ME OF WHAT I WANT TO BE
YOU ARE EVERYBODIES DARLING AND TREATED WITH RESPECT
WHY PICK UP A FIGHT I CAN ONLY LOOSE?
MY JEALOUSY IS A HUNGRY FOX

This Time

This time I want to do it right
The way I feel it from insight
From this very instant on
I know exactly if it´s right or wrong
If I could sleep one hundred years
I´d place the poison on my lips
I would wait for you to come
And you will get your fatal kiss
Kowing you
You can´t resist
Afterwards you´ll be so sore
You´ll be trapped inside yourself and that´s the reason why you
cry wholehartedly

You´ll be blinded by the light and that´s the reason why you
try to escape

You´ll devote yourself again to depression and the pain oh
what a shame

Embrace Me

Today, I have got no one by my side
I understand, but it is killing me inside
Tomorrow, I won´t be alive
The sunrise will hide from my eyes
It is good to hear words of sympathy

Embrace me
Embrace me
I need to feel you that close
Embrace me
Embrace me
Words are just not enough
Embrace me
Embrace me

Yesterday, I was longing for some tenderness and a little bit of love
I was fearless and brainless
Tomorrow, I won´t be alive
The sunrise will hide fromm my eyes.
May I have a last wish?

Embrace me
Embrace me
I need to feel you that close
Embrace me
Embrace me
Words are just not enough
Embrace me
Embrace me

BACK HOME

SHE SHOULD PICK UP HER CHILD
BUT SHE MISSES HER TRAIN
SHE LIKES TO DISCUSS
NEVER CARES ABOUT TIME
SHE WALKS BACK HOME ALONE
ALL BY HERSELF
TAKING EACH STEP WITH CARELESSNESS

ALL THE PROMISES YOU MADE
YOU DID NOT BOTHER TO KEEP

WALKING HOME ALONE
ALL BY HERSELF
SHE IS THINKING OF THE CHILD
THE BABY INSIDE
WITH A BODY LIKE A STONE
A MIND LIKE A ROCK
A SOUL LIKE A FEATHER
SHE IS IN DANGER TO FALL

ALL THE PROMISES YOU MADE
YOU DID NOT BOTHER TO KEEP

HOPELESS USELESS
NO WAY OUT
NOONE WILL EVER GET TO KNOW THE TRUTH
SHE HOLDS HER HEAD UP HIGH
WHILE SHE´S WALKING IN THE RAIN
THINKING OF THE CHILD
THAT GROWS IN HER WOMB
SHE´S TRYING NOT TO PANIC

ALL THE PROMISES YOU MADE
YOU DID NOT BOTHER TO KEEP

SHE WALKS BACK HOME ALONE
ALL BY HERSELF
NOONE WILL EVER GET TO KNOW THE TRUTH
FROM HER OR FROM HER FATHER
BEING THE FATHER
