No Strings Attached

no strings attached
just take off and get away
keep the shadows at bay
your wings are intact
no strings attached
so why do you stay at home
feeling all alone and sore
you take refuge in misery
is there a way out of here?
Use that broken voice
and let yourself be heard
in that gruesome noise
what is there to lose?
Now you know just what to do
get up from your bed, don't stay
be of use for anyone
who happens to come your way

You're the One I Like
03:41
|

|
I've got a crush on you, my love
Do I dare to tell you?
There is a lot at stake this time
I'd better hold my brakes, for sure
You're the one I like
The one I want to be with
You're the one I like
So perfect for me
Oh, what a girl! And I will see you in the evening ...
Oh, what a girl! And I will feel you late at night ...
I spot a shooting star, and you know what I will ask for
Oh, what a girl! This time the things went right
It's early morning and I see you there beside me
Your face looks so calm and pleased
A tremor I see, then your eyelids open gently
Then you look straight at me ...
You're the one I like
The one I want to be with
You're the one I like
You're so perfect for me

We Ain't Different
02:38

Kill your desire to kill
Why do you go all in
Kill your desire to kill
Why do you go all in
Leave your weapons behind
No one is gonna win
Kill your desire to kill -
The only way from sin
Cause all I want is to live on, live on
And all you want is to live on, live on
We ain't different, we ain't different
Ain't any difference, from what I can see,
So why point that gun at me?
We ain't different, we ain't different
Ain't no difference between you and me
So why drop that bombs on me?

My Apologies
01:53
|
|||
|
I love me and I love you
Apologizing for being too rude
A mistake of mine I deeply regret
Why did I blame you? Sorry for that!
Never did I for a moment
Thought things would go wrong
And I would sing about it in a song
If things could take a better turn,
I am the first to wish
Another time we'd laugh at it, I think
I'm sorry, I am
For what I've done
Do you think that we can
Start all over again?

I want to belong
But now it won't be long
until my voice will be heard

human behaviour
we could have asked for more
at least some kind of decency
stupidity, here we go ...
human behaviour
what kind of thing is that
you've got to see through it all
to really find something good
Your Highness, Your Majesty
Sweet Jewel of Travesty
sit on the throne on loosely ground
deserting his people, he's a sinking fool
this war you have, you've got to stop
everyone wants you to buzz off
Putin the blame on others,
putin the blame on us,
he is putting the blame on others
putting the blame on us
a no-brainer, he is insaner than ever before
invading, calculating, soon, it's time for you to go!

Bitter Fruit
03:13
|
|||
|
How do I make a new beginning?
How do I start anew this time?
Gone down the drain, but feeling sorry
for myself don't make ends meet
Came out as wasted, when I was tasting
the bitter fruit
I'm so frustrated, I just can't take it ...
this bitter fruit
But don't feel pity 'bout me
So fortunately for me
there is a whole basket of fruits
To pick one is a matter of truth

We stand with you, Ukraine
Day and night we're cry out:
"No more war!
United, we stand with you!"
Invading forces land on you
Why, and on what grounds?
You defend your people's human rights,
and let everyone to think for themselves
You're a victim of a ruthless man
reading outdated history tales
Isolated with his thoughts
he is at war with himself as well

Sing Out!
04:10
|
|||
|
sing out, sing with pride in your hearts
sing out, with tones that reach deep into us
speak out, speak out your mind and heart
put your darkness to rest deep in the light
so i can see you, so i can see who you are
so i can see you, so i can see who you really are
let me see, let me see, see who you really are
now I can see, I can see clearly who you are

Bake a Cake

If only I had something to say,
that made you feel more easy
in my humble company ... what would it be?
It's better not to strain too much,
but to relax and please you
Now we do this ... then later, a kiss?
So, what do we do?
Bake a cake, now!
A chocolate dream
We bake a cake. Wow!
Whip the cream!
We bake a cake, now
With strawberries on
We bake a cake now, cake now
A chocolate dream!
Our bellies are so full now
We're in chocolate heaven
A tasty cake we did, we both feel like kids
But how would the world look like
if everyone always felt content
with what they had?
... so boring and sad!
Make another one!
We bake a cake, now!
With blueberry jam
Make a cake, now
Whip the cream!
Bake a cake. Wow!
Yummy yum!
Bake a cake now, bake now,
with blueberry jam

Come as You Are
03:04
|
|||
|
Break the spell of fear
Let the shackles fall and tear down the walls of shame
There is no one here to blame
In this awful mess, I come to rest
I feel your presence grow steadily
Deep inside my breast
Lifting the veil of lies, I beg for peace and rest
Relieve my pains and take my worried soul
In your beloved arms
Come as you are, I won't put anything on your shoulders
Come as you are, we will be anything but strangers

Happiness Is Sharing
03:44
|
|||
|
Happiness is sharing love to everyone around you
Happiness comes when sharing what you've got
Don't blame yourself when things don't go the way you wanted
Things just go the way they do
I have no reason to complain, really,
But it would be nicer with you in my life!
Love is sharing,
Love is sharing,
Love is sharing everything you've got

Magic is for real
Know your life is magic
One gift is enough
Give your heart and soul
Wintertime is long
Light up every corner
of my tired mind
with your childlike joy
When you are finding peace and joy,
hold high that flame for everyone,
and meet my eyes in gratitude
for the year that came and went,
and see ... just see...
... that magic is for real
Know your life is magic
Illuminate my mind
Give your heart and soul
You bring magic to my life, you are the light,
you Christmas lights
Magic is for real
Know your life is magic
Light up my mind
Give of your heart and soul

stomp your feet
or clap your hands
feel your breath
just feel alive
there is a time to live
and a time to die
now we've got an opportunity
there's a celebration to come
you better keep on going
you better move on
you know, this will last for a while
so we better move on
There is a Christmas coming up
despite all the crap
have some food to eat
and some gifts to unpack
a Christmas is coming
despite all the crap
think of those who suffer
and a thank to all that we've got
now stomp your feet
clap your hands
feel your breath
feel alive
you've got a mystery box
open and see
what it contains
what will it be

I Love Ayla
03:55
|

|
Ayla, I love Ayla
She is my friend
She is my heart
I found my love near a brown oak tree
She sat and laughed, watching stars in the daytime
Supposedly, a bit skeptical first,
I reached out my hand at her, offering pecans
To her, I was the sign that came along
She knew, I was the sign that brought her love
Now, I am her star
Yet, not very far away from her
I reach her paws instantly
Now, that I’m her star

Fooled by the Dead
01:41
|
|||
|
You meet with the people from the stars
But all they say is pretty far out
Far from what is really your concern
It's all fluffy stuff, like the unicorns
Fooled by people of the stars
You were fooled by people of the stars
You meet with the souls of the dead
Their wisdom is clear but they have no heads
Their tinkling words put you to sleep
It may look so, but it wasn't any deep
You were fooled by the souls of the dead

J. O. is a very special friend
he likes my squirrel music
our friendship never ends
one time he send a squirrel doll
in a package over sea
and some acoustic guitar string, too
as a present for me
and he has bought all my music
on Bandcamp - have you heard!
Yet, I don't know much about him
I think he has a beard
He celebrates the squirrels
as being a superior race
and he watch some science fiction shows
but not the one that I like most
J. O. is a very special friend
he likes my squirrel music
our friendship never ends
