The heart is a bloom
Shoots up through the stony ground
There's no room
No space to rent in this town

You're out of luck
And the reason that you had to care
The traffic is stuck
And you're not moving anywhere

You thought you'd found a friend
To take you out of this place
Someone you could lend a hand
In return for grace

It's a beautiful day
Sky falls, you feel like
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away

You're on the road
But you've got no destination
You're in the mud
In the maze of her imagination

You love this town
Even if that doesn't ring true
You've been all over
And it's been all over you

It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
It's a beautiful day

Touch me
Take me to that other place
Teach me
I know I'm not a hopeless case

See the world in green and blue
See China right in front of you
See the canyons broken by cloud
See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out
See the Bedouin fires at night
See the oil fields at first light
And see the bird with a leaf in her mouth
After the flood all the colors came out

It was a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
Beautiful day

Touch me
Take me to that other place
Reach me
I know I'm not a hopeless case

What you don't have you don't need it now
What you don't know you can feel it somehow
What you don't have you don't need it now
Don't need it now
Was a beautiful day

To the best thing in your life
There are things you don't appreciate
At all
So it's best that you don't try
Holding back the time
Are you ever, gonna be
Quite satisfied



Postcard from heaven
Go to where you belong
Never find the perfect situation
Till you know where your from
If you ever, say goodbye
No regrets, I won't ask why
And I wish you all the best love
In the world
Should you ever, change your mind
Holding back the sunshine
Why you ever, gonna be
Quite satisfied



Postcard from heaven
Go to where you belong
Never find the perfect situation
Till you know where your from

Carl Mikael Bellman, 1740-1795

So trollen wir uns ganz fromm und sacht
Von Weingelag und Freudenschmaus,
Wenn uns der Tod ruft: Gute Nacht,
Dein Stundenglas rinnt aus.
Wer heut noch frech den Schnabel wetzt
Und glaubt ein großer Herr zu sein:
Paß auf, der Schreiner hobelt jetzt
Schon grad? an deinem Schrein!
Scheint das Grab dir tief und dumpf sein Druck,
A la vot, so nimm noch einen Schluck
Und noch einen hinterher,
Gleich noch zwei, dreie mehr,
Dann stirbst du nicht so schwer.

Wer nach des andern Liebster schielt
Und hält sich noch als Nobelmann
Paß auf! dem Spielmann, der dir spielt,
Springst du ins Grab voran.
Und du, der blind vor Eifersucht
Zerschmiß einst jedes Glas im Saal
Wenn dich der Tod im Bett besucht
Lang lebe dein Rival!
Scheint das Grab dir tief und dumpf sein Druck
A la vot, und nimm noch einen Schluck
Und noch einen gleich dabei
Und noch zwei und manchmal drei
Dann stirbst du sorgenfrei.

Was hilfts, wenn du vor Wut ausspuckst:
Der Tod ist keiner Münze feil
Bei jedem Schlückchen, das du schluckst,
Schluckt schon der Wurm sein Teil
Ob nied'res Pack, ob hohe Herrn,
Am Ende sind wir Brüder doch
Dann leuchtet uns der Abendstern
Ins gleiche finstre Loch.
Doch scheint das Grab dir tief und dumpf sein Druck
A la vot, und nimm noch einen Schluck
Und noch einen hinterher
Und noch zweie, dreie mehr
Dann stirbst du nicht so schwer.

Youth of Today
Amy Macdonald

Maybe if you were some spearheaded guy
I would listen to what you have to say
But you're just some incapable figure
Thinking you're bigger than me, but you're not
Yet you don't know a thing about the youth of today
Stating your opinion making it ring in my head all day

And you say,
"My children weren't the same"
"My children's children they're the ones to blame"
And you say,
"In my day we were better behaved"
But it's not your day no more...

And we are the youth of today
Change our hair in every way
And we are the youth of today
We'll say what we wanna say
And we are the youth of today
Don't care what you have to say at all

And maybe if you had a true point of view
I would listen to you
But it's just your one sided feelings
They keep getting in my way
And you don't know a single thing about the youth of today
Stating your opinion making it ring in my head all day

And you say,
"My children weren't the same"
"My children's children they're the ones to blame"
And you say,
"In my day we were better behaved"
But it's not your day no more...

And we are the youth of today
Change our hair in every way
And we are the youth of today
We'll say what we wanna say
And we are the youth of today
Don't care what you have to say at all

And you say,
"My children weren't the same"
"My children's children they're the ones to blame"
And you say,
"In my day we were better behaved"
But it's not your day no more...

And we are the youth of today
Change our hair in every way
And we are the youth of today
We'll say what we wanna say
And we are the youth of today
Don't care what you have to say at all

A soul cake, a soul cake,
Please, good missus, a soul cake,
An apple, a pear, a plum or a cherry,
Any good thing to make us all merry.
A soul cake, a soul cake,
Please, good missus, a soul cake,
One for Peter, two for Paul,
And three for Him that made us all.
God bless the master of this house
And the mistress also,
And all the little children
That round your table grow;
The cattle in your stable,
The dogs at your front door,
And all that dwell within your gates
We’ll wish you ten times more.
A soul cake, a soul cake…
Go down into the cellar
And see what you can find;
If the barrels are not empty
We’ll hope that you’ll be kind;
We’ll hope that you’ll be kind
With your apple and your pear,
And we’ll come no more a-soulin’
Till Christmas time next year.
A soul cake, a soul cake…
The streets are very dirty,
Me shoes are very thin,
I have a little pocket
To put a penny in;
If you haven’t got a penny
A ha’penny will do;
If you haven’t got a ha’penny
God bless you.
A soul cake, a soul cake…

I watch the Western sky
The sun is sinking
The geese are flying South
It sets me thinking

I did not miss you much
I did not suffer
What did not kill me
Just made me tougher

I feel the winter come
His icy sinews
Now in the fire light
The case continues

Another night in court
The same old trial
The same old questions asked
The same denial

The shadows closely run
Like jury members
I look for answers in
The fire's embers

Why was I missing then
That whole December
I give my usual line:
I don't remember

Another winter comes
His icy fingers creep
Into these bones of mine
These memories never sleep

And all these differences
A cloak I borrow
We kept our distances
Why should it follow I must have loved you

What is the force that binds the stars
I wore this mask to hide my scars
What is the power that pulls the tide
I never could find a place to hide

What moves the Earth around the sun
What could I do but run and run and run
Afraid to love, afraid to fail
A mast without a sail

The moon's a fingernail and slowly sinking
Another day begins and now I'm thinking
That this indifference was my invention
When everything I did sought your attention

You were my compass star
You were my measure
You were a pirate's map
A buried treasure

If this was all correct
The last thing I'd expect
The prosecution rests
It's time that I confess: I must have loved you

Ich bin hier, weil ich hier hin gehör'
Von Kopf bis Fuß bin ich verliebt
Du bist mutig weil du mir Treue schwörst
Zwischen all den schönen Souvenirs

Sprich mich an,
in dem Takt,
der dieses Lied zu unser'm Hit macht
Brich den Beat,
mit Gefühl.
Du bist so schön, weil du lachst

uuhuhuh...uhuhuhuhuuhu
Mein Herz tanzt
uhuhuuu
Und jedes Molekül bewegt sich

Glaubst du wie ich daran,
Dass alles gut sein kann
Solange wir zusammen sind?
Brich das Eis,
mit dem Schritt,
Der jedes Atmen zum Wagnis macht.
Halt mich fest
mit Gefühl.
Es ist so schön, wenn du lachst.

Uhuhu...Uhuhuuhuhuhuhuhu
Mein Herz tanzt
Uhuhu
und jedes Molekül bewegt sich

Uhuhu...Uhuhuuhuhuhuhuhu
Mein Herz tanzt
Uhuhu
und jedes Molekül bewegt sich

Und jedes Positron entlädt sich

Uhuhu...Uhuhuuhuhuhuhuhu
Mein Herz tanzt
Uhuhu
und jedes Molekül bewegt sich

Uhuhu...Uhuhuuhuhuhuhuhu
und mein Herz tanzt
Uhuhu
und jede Faser biegt und dreht sich

Mein Herz tanzt,
und mein Herz tanzt,
Mein Herz tanzt.

Du, mein Herz...

MIA.

Komet

die zeit steht still, wenn du's willst, vertreibst dumpfe gedanken
heile welt, unverfälscht, bringst die erde ins wanken
hab auf dich sehnsüchtig gewartet

haut aus samt, übermannt, könnte dich andauernd streicheln
augenglanz, unverwandt, härteste herzen erweichen
so was wie dich nenn ich glück

verwegen in mein leben gestartet mit bedingungslosem urvertraun
dich ganz unverschämt in meine hand gegeben
hier bin ich, jetzt kommst du
du hast mich so gewollt, jetzt sieh zu, was du mit mir tust

ich mache dir das leben zum himmel
halte dir die schatten vom leib
werd die sterne polieren
dreh die welt nur um dich
werd dich nie aus meinen augen verliern

wenn trauerwolken dich bedrohn, schieb ich sie beiseite
geh jeden schweren schritt mit dir, werd' dich immer begleiten
wisch staub auf deiner seele

will dich nur, sorglos pur, wünsche dir hochgefühle
streng mich an, tu was ich kann, darfst dein lachen nie verlieren
himmelhoch jauchzend niemals betrübt

verwegen in mein leben gestartet mit bedingungslosem urvertraun
dich ganz unverschämt in meine hand gegeben
egal was passiert
kann dich noch nicht fassen, bin noch völlig irritiert

ich mache dir das leben zum himmel
halte dir die schatten vom leib
werd die sterne polieren
dreh die welt nur um dich
werd dich nie aus meinen augen verliern

werde dich so gut ich kann ein leben lang behüten
würde dir, wüßt ich wo, dafür einen schutzengel mieten
lasse dir so viele kometen fallen, wie du willst
damit sich jeder wunsch von dir erfüllt

ich mache dir das leben zum himmel
halte dir die schatten vom leib
werd die sterne polieren
dreh die welt nur um dich
werd dich nie aus meinen augen verliern

Herbert Grönemeyer

When I get older, losing my hair, many years from now,
Will you still be sending me a Valentine,birthday greetings, bottle of wine?
If I'd been out 'till quarter to three,would you lock the door?
Will you still need me, will you still feed me,
When I'm sixty-four?

Hmm------mmm---mmmh.
You'll be older, too.Aaah, and if you say the word, I could stay with you.


I could be handy, mending a fuse, when your lights have gone.
You can knit a sweater by the fireside, sunday mornings, go for a ride.
Doing the garden, digging the weeds, who could ask for more?
Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I'm sixty four?


Every summer we can rent a cottage in the Isle of Wightif it's not to dear. We shall scrimp and save.
Ah, grandchildren on your knee, Vera, Chuck, and Dave.


Send me a postcard, drop me a line stating point of view.
Indicate precisely what you mean to say, yours sincerely wasting away.
Give me your answer, fill in a form, mine forever more.
Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I'm sixty four?


by John Lennon/Paul McCartney

In the empire of the senses
You're the queen of all you survey
All the cities all the nations
Everything that falls your way
There is a deeper wave than this
That you don't understand
There is a deeper wave than this
Tugging at your hand

Every ripple on the ocean
Every leaf on every tree
Every sand dune in the desert
Every power we never see
There is a deeper wave than this
Swelling in the world
There is a deeper wave than this
Listen to me girl

Feel it rising in the cities
Feel it sweeping over land
Over borders, over frontiers
Nothing will its power withstand
There is no deeper wave than this
Rising in the world
There is no deeper wave than this
Listen to me girl

All the bloodshed, all the anger
All the weapons, all the greed
All the armies, all the missiles
All the symbols of our fear
There is a deeper wave than this
Rising in the world
There is a deeper wave than this
Listen to me girl

At the still point of destruction
At the centre of the fury
All the angels, all the devils
All around us can't you see
There is a deeper wave than this
Rising in the land
There is a deeper wave than this
Nothing will withstand

I say love is the seventh wave
