Lyrics

Mrs Adams

If this really makes you happy after all these years. You are naked cause there’s nothing, and nothing wrong. You are driven cause you want this, and he wants you too. There’s nothing left between us. Well then, go on. Hell, if that’s what it takes to become Mrs Adams, well the whole thing wouldn’t change anyway.

Did he sing about that Summer or about cloud 9? Did he cross the big atlantic? Well then, it’s time. Hell, if that’s what it takes to become Mrs Adams, well the whole thing wouldn’t change anyway. Yeah, if that’s what it takes to become Mrs Adams, better go now cause you wouldn’t want to stay, stay, stay, please, won’t you stay, oh stay, stay.

Should we talk about some fiction, or all unspoken words? Weren’t all these roses red enough for you? Must we cut our hearts in pieces, in order that it hurts? Is it better there or just some kind of new? Hell, if that’s what it takes to become Mrs Adams, well the whole thing wouldn’t change anyway. Yeah, if that’s what it takes to become Mrs Adams, better go now cause you wouldn’t want to stay.

Girl

Feel the weight on your shoulders gently taken aside, truth is somehow revealing, grab your senses ans pride. Maybe I‘m not that stupid, maybe you‘re not that good, maybe things could be better, where we always have stood. Guess, you‘re the girl I always waited for to come, I can‘t explain what‘s going on and on and on and on. Guess, you‘re the girl I always waited for to come, I can‘t explain what‘s going on and on and on and on.

When you tear down the curtains, so the whole world can see how we‘re laying there naked, parts of you above me. Guess, you‘re the girl I always waited for to come, I can‘t explain what‘s going on and on and on and on. Guess, you‘re the girl I always waited for to come, I can‘t explain what‘s going on and on and on and on.

Never let me go with a warm hello, never let me stay with a cold goodbye. Never let me go with a warm hello, never let me stay with a cold goodbye. Guess, you‘re the girl I always waited for to come, I can‘t explain what‘s going on and on and on and on. Guess, you‘re the girl I always waited for to come, I can‘t explain what‘s going on and on and on and on.

Couldn't Hurt You More

Really had a crush on something that once looked like you. Leave a message while I’m listening, but you can’t get through. Oh no, my, my! I don’t need to make up, I don’t have to try it, I don’t need to keep you cause I couldn’t hurt you more. I don’t need to give in, I don’t have to fake love, I need to have you cause I couldn’t hurt you more.

Build this bridge now that I’m passing to get away from you. What has changed us? It’s not hardly where we’re going through. Oh no, my, my! I don’t need to make up, I don’t have to try it, I don’t need to keep you cause I couldn’t hurt you more. I don’t need to give in, I don’t have to fake love, I need to have you cause I couldn’t hurt you more.

I am so sure now that all these things are good for you and me! It will work somehow that we both will be fine, yeah, you and me! Oh dear, wake up, wake up. I don’t need to make up, I don’t have to try it, I don’t need to keep you cause I couldn’t hurt you more. I don’t need to give in, I don’t have to fake love, I need to have you cause I couldn’t hurt you more.

Bloody Goodbye

Everything’s all easy now, slightly shake and fall asleep. Everything’s all simple now, dig a heart, yeah, dig it deep. Red on white, and nothing hurts, nothing left to talk so loud. Nothing worth to shed the words, raise your hand and shout it out loud. Cause this is goodbye, bloody goodbye, and we wave to things that could have been. This is goodbye, bloody goodbye, bloody goodbye.

I may be your problem but I am not your crime. You hear this silent bedlam inside all the time. You said that there’s no-one here left to talk, you’d carry all this all alone, you’d go if there’s a path to walk, trespassing now the lover’s zone. This is goodbye, bloody goodbye, and we wave to things that could have been. This is goodbye, bloody goodbye, bloody goodbye. This is goodbye, this is goodbye, this is goodbye.

Call me when it’s over! Call me when you’re gone! Call me when you’re lonely! Call me when you’re done! This is goodbye, bloody goodbye, and we wave to things that could have been. This is goodbye, bloody goodbye, bloody goodbye.

I Like It

I think it’s time to go, I grab my things and so, there’s someone over there who needs some time to share. Don’t ask for sympathy, watch out for what you see, when all horizons fall you won’t remember after all. And I like it, I like it like this. Yeah, I like it, I like it like this. Protect yourself from what you want, you wouldn’t like it, wouldn’t like like this, like this. And I like it, I like it like this.

When blue lights disappear, you won’t find no one here, a shadow on the floor where I stood still before. You thought it would be nice if you could take my lies, turn them into some truth, there is no chance, I’ve got to move. And I like it, I like it like this. Yeah, I like it, I like it like this. Protect yourself from what you want, you wouldn’t like it, wouldn’t like like this, like this. And I like it, I like it like this.

The sun and the moon and the stars will sing about everything that we smuggled in. Cause it’s good for you and it’s good for me that you can’t see where you’ve never been. And I like it, I like it like this. Yeah, I like it, I like it like this. Protect yourself from what you want, you wouldn’t like it, wouldn’t like like this, like this. And I like it, I like it like this.

One Day You Will Return

I guess you’re oh so right, leaving everything behind. Don’t look into this light, it will slowly turn you blind. You never wanted this to happen, it’s not your fault. One day you will return and save this place, this will be near. Don’t mind if everybody else will give his best to keep you far away from here.

This place where you were born is a rotten piece of dust. What keeps you here is torn, you got the news but lost your trust. You never wanted this to happen, it’s not your fault. One day you will return and save this place, this will be near. Don’t mind if everybody else will give his best to keep you far away from here.

Strange robbers took the green, paint the earth in red and grey. Too much that you have seen, there’s no way for you to stay. You never wanted this to happen, it’s not your fault, no, no. You never wanted this to happen, it’s not your bloody fucking stupid war. One day you will return and save this place, this will be near. Don’t mind if everybody else will give his best to keep you far away from here.

We Should Be Dancing

What if no one told you you are beautiful? Would you end up angry, would it make you dull? There’s a graceful halo shining overarm, you don’t cause no trouble, you are safe from harm. Grabbing seconds, getting minutes, saving hours, collecting days, kill those weeks and drink them up, hold your breath but never stop. And we should be dancing like we’re not afraid to fall, we should be dancing cause we’re not afraid at all, at all.

I am here to tell you that you are beautiful. Will this make you happ, will this soothe your soul? We might be wrong, we‘ve always been, we close our eyes, we‘ve never seen. The things we found were brown and green, flying high and inbetween. We should be dancing like we’re not afraid to fall, we should be dancing cause we’re not afraid at all, at all.

That’s what we’ve got, and it’s a lot, that’s what we’ve got, and it’s a lot! That’s what we’ve got, and it’s a lot, that’s what we’ve got, and it’s a lot! We should be dancing like we’re not afraid to fall, we should be dancing cause we’re not afraid at all. Grabbing seconds, getting minutes, saving hours, collecting days, kill those weeks and drink them up, hold your breath but never stop. And we should be dancing like we’re not afraid to fall, we should be dancing cause we’re not afraid at all, at all.

She Smiles

She is off, cause she is late, she’s gotta do the job she hates. And she goes there every day, yeah she goes there every day. She’s got to be the way they like, she’s got to hide away the spite. But she does it every day, yeah she does it for the pay. Because she’s convinced that she’ll end the past, she’s convinced that she’ll fit the cast. But in the end she smiles the grey away, in the end she shines just like a ray, and when you guess she can’t go on with this, she goes on every day.

There’s a plan that she won’t tell, and there’s a dream that she won’t sell. But she keeps it every day, and there’s no need to weigh. Because she’s convinced that she’ll end the past, she’s convinced that she’ll fit the cast. But in the end she smiles the grey away, in the end she shines just like a ray, and when you guess she can’t go on with this, she goes on every day.

Blue Wheel Turning

It’s a blue wheel turning, it’s a red cross burning, it’s the rumour outside and the silence inside, and it’s a blue wheel turning. It’s a blue mind reminding, mouth that’s sending, an unknown tune on a lovely june, and it’s a blue wheel turning. It’s a strange man remaining, cloud that’s raining, iit’s a wet face drying, woman trying, and it’s a blue wheel turning. And the sea silently goes home, drunken men go to sleep, the married ones clean up the mess, only lonely women weep.

It’s a merry-go-round, unbearable sound, it’s what I’ve heard before in the room next door, and it’s a blue wheel turning. It’s eight years lasting, elder man asking, life that floats on a different road, and it’s a blue wheel turning. And the sea silently goes home, drunken men go to sleep. The married ones clean up the mess, only lonely women weep.

See how they leave with their boats! See how they leave all behind! See their wives longing for dawn! See how they slowly turn blind! And the sea silently goes home, drunken men go to sleep, the married ones clean up the mess, only lonely women weep.

Hope That We Once Had

We’re not as big as we would like to be when eloquent words just help to heal the pain. We’re not as strong as we all aim to be when all our blood is stuck in the brain. And it feels so bad, so it must be wrong, and it feels so wrong, so it can’t be right. We’re not as cool as we intend to be when we wave goodbye to the trains we didn’t catch. But we’re not as cold as we all try to be when we fight the draw on a 90 minute’s match. Cause it feels so bad, so it must be wrong, and it feels so wrong, so it can’t be right. So, let’s take our flags to Wednesday market place, we sing a song for the ones we love so bad. The glow returns onto your pretty face, we’ll sing a song for the hope that we once had.

We’re not as blue as we pretend to be when nothing sticks and all things fall apart. We’re not so dark when there’s enough to see, and when a morning ray still hits us in the heart. Cause it would feel so bad, so it must be wrong, and it feels so wrong, so it can’t be right. So, let’s take our flags to Wednesday market place, we sing a song for the ones we love so bad. The glow returns onto your pretty face, we’ll sing a song for the hope that we once had.

We’re not so small, and we’re not so weak, and we’re not that blue, cause we’re not so bleak. So, let’s take our flags to Wednesday market place, we sing a song for the ones we love so bad. The glow returns onto your pretty face, we’ll sing a song for the hope that we once had.
