Love And Learn

 

Hey you

you Want these colours shine so bright

But shadows cast across your eyes

For such a light

Be true

You want this birdy sing its song

But you´ve had enough before it´s begun

With the hookline

 

You know you tried far too hard

To change my ways right from the start

 

And we love and yearn

For being loved in return

And we love and yearn for more

And we love and learn

Our lesson it´s our turn

To be the one

We´re meant to be

 

You said

you want me to be all myself

But you just started to sort and shelve

Me in your way

This time

We shouldn´t feign ignorance

We shouldn´t join in the dance

Now is not the time

 

We know we tried all too hard

To change our ways right from the start

 

And we love and yearn

For being loved in return

And we love and learn

our lesson it´s your turn

To be the one you´re meant to be

 

I´ll keep the secret—oh , yes, I´ll keep it

Right in the midst of me

 

And we love and yearn

For being loved in return

And we love and learn

A lesson it´s your turn

To be the one you´re meant to be

 

The Gardener

 

I´m a gardener

Digging in the mould

Searching for a clod

That is all real gold

 

I´m a gardener

I trench the earth

I will dig it up

For all one is worth

 

With these hands so bare and keen

I will search for the unseen

 

I´m a gardener

Oh what a grind

I will try hard to

To make a find

 

I´m a gardener

My feet on the ground

I´m patiently waiting to be found

 

That´s what it takes

With these hands so bare and keen

I will search for the unseen

 

In the dark beneath my feet

Lies a lump of gold indeed

That´s what I believe in

 

That´s what it takes

 

With blind faith in the unknown

Straight on through the undergrowth

That´s what it takes

 

 

Catch a Cloud

 

I found out

something weird about the clouds

Travelling round

I can see them though

I won´t get hold

of any of them

 

I found out

People are like clouds

Being kind of proud

Of their restless minds

They slip out of sight

I am like this

I have to admit

 

I cannot wait

To jump up and catch a cloud

I cannot wait

 

Among the crowds

I looked around I look around

But I can´t make out

What this weird game is all about

 

I am like this

I have to admit

 

I cannot wait

To jump up and catch a cloud

I cannot wait

I cannot wait

To jump up and catch a cloud

I cannot wait

 

Catch a cloud

 

I cannot wait

To jump up

and catch a cloud

 

Suitcase

 

I wonder how I got here

At the corner of your street

Into your small kitchen dear

I´m wide awake you sleep

Me and my old suitcase

I am sure to go

On the table left the ring

Well you never know

 

For a moment

Just a moment

I´ll be back and stand at your door

I will stop and see

That all we needs still here

And I see what we´ve become

was growing for so long

 

Oh I slam the door

You´ll never get hold of me

Pass the hallway head for more

The car´s here, the key!

 

For a moment

Just a moment

I´ll be back and stand at your bed

I will stare and see

That everythings still here

And I see where we´ve belong

Was waiting for so long

 

Hear the engine roar

Who´s the lucky one

I act like I have done before

If I can´t drive

I´ll run

For a moment

Just a moment

I´ll be back again to carry you

 

I will stop and see

That all we need

Is to be free

 

I´ll be here

Just here

No fear

straight on we go

 

 

Traveller

 

Planted a tree in my mouth

It´s birds winging out

Are willing to take me South

Placed a spring in my chest

and Its waters

it whispers

Come follow us to the West

I was the one being born

When mummy and daddy where already torn

 

I´m a breathing human being

I no longer care

That I ´m sleeping with my head on the floor but with Stars in my hair

 

Thinking "why not go North"

I saddle my mind

As I´d saddle a good old horse

Actually it doesn´t matter where

The main thing is

Travellers never care

Alright

I was the one being born

When mummy and daddy where already torn

 

I´m a breathing human being

I no longer care

That I ´m sleeping with my head on the floor but with Stars in my hair

 

Where is my father Where is my mother

Where are the others Where are the others

 

I´m a breathing human being

I no longer care

That I ´m sleeping with my head on the floor but with Stars in my hair

 

Breathe in  Breathe out….

 

 

Happy Birthday

 

It must have been on a Monday morning

When I was sitting by my birthday cake

I felt so lonesome, tired and yearning

While the world outside

Was wide awake

 

I was staring

At the candle lights on top of my cake

I was thinking “oh what a strange thing it is to be born…”

When the door bell rang

 

Happy birthday Happy birthday

 

There was a man outside

From the “NEW SOCIETY”

Handing me over a parcel

I signed

but he was gone before I could have asked him

To stay for a little while

 

Happy birthday Happy birthday

 

The pioneer of a perfect world?

Can this be true?

I wish you a happy birthday

I wish you a happy birthday

 

Back at my worn-out kitchen table I sat down

And stared at my mysterious gift

I had been born one day without being asked

When I opended the wrecking paper I shivered

All over happy birthday to me and the globe

 

Happy birthday Happy birthday

 

The pioneer of a perfect world?

Can this be true?

I wish you a happy birthday

I wish you a happy birthday

 

In a box full of cotton wool I found my

My gorgeous My own gorgeous clone

 

The pioneer of a perfect world?

Can this be true?

I´m staring at you

You´re staring at me

I wish you a happy birthday

I wish you a happy birthday

 

 

Carolina´s Tree

 

I Walked around in the park

That morning out there at dawn

Walked around and heard a voice

Walked around at dawn that morning

Till I came to the old oak tree

Heard a voice

Was she talking to me?

Closer

That I can see your face

Come a little closer

You´re right in this place

 

Carolina sits on a tree

Come a little closer she shouts at me

So I started to climb the tree

I Came a little closer and she looked at me

This is Carolina´s tree

This is Carolina´s tree

 

So I started walking around

The big old trunk I could not make her out

I looked around but couldn ’t see her

her voice was still talking to me

Come climb up the tree

Closer so I can look at thee

 

Carolina sits on a tree

Come a little closer she shouts at me

So I started to climb the tree

Came a little closer and she looked at me

 

Closer because you´re right in this place

Oh you´re growing older but you´re right in this place

This is Carolina´s tree This is Carolina´s tree

 

 

All your love

 

Haunting so haunting

This dark place cannot shine

This dark place that I hide inside

it´s about to break this dark heart of mine

lonely lonely this dark face cannot smile

This dark face I have hidden is about to cry

It´s true yeah

This heart breaks in the middle every single time

I see you

 

And if all your love was still here

With me

Oh I won´t fear anything

 

Wasted it faded your tears at the end

Slipped like shining pearls through my foolish hands

I´m fearful I´m anxious I´m full of regret you´re still lingering here in a dark place in my chest

This dark face I have hidden is about to cry

It´s true yeah

This heart breaks in the middle every single time

I see you

 

And if all your love ´s still here

With me

Oh I won´t fear anything

And if all your love ´s  still here

With me

Oh I won´t fear anything

 

Haunting so haunting

 

And if all your love ´s still here

With me

Oh I won´t fear anything

And if all your love ´s still here

With me Oh I won´t fear anything

 

Sinners

 

Come on, such a highlight

So great to see you tonight

On my plate

You look slightly rotten

But I haven´t forgotten our date

 

Does it make sense?

 

Hello you look silly

With your salad

Billy eats his fill

That´s my will too

Hush hush little baby

Your sleep is quite unsteady but I will keep you still

 

Does it make a difference to think?

 

We are the sinners

Yes we are the slaves

By eating our dinners

We are eating up ourselves

 

Bowing my head so hollow

My eyes start to follow the fork into the pork

Chewing the tasteless lump but

Billy says he must throw up

Does he think too much?

 

Does it make a difference to think?

 

We are the sinners

And we are the slaves

By eating our dinners

We are eating up ourselves

We are the sinners

And we are the slaves

Of eating our dinners

And we´re eating up ourselves

 

 

Does it make sense?

Does it make sense?

Does it make sense?

Does it make sense?

 

 

Angry Sky

 

I have got a house of gold

But it´s not enough

I have bought and I have sold

All my stuff

We´re getting drunk dear

By all the junk here

 

The answer is well Hidden between the lines

I can not tell Wrong from right

There´s more to life Than this

An angry sky And so much bliss

 

I have learned my lesson well

But it´s not enough

Why does no one raise hell

Instead of acting tough

Just ask aloud dear

And count me out

 

The answer is well Hidden between the lines

I can not tell Wrong from right

There´s more to life Than this

An angry sky And so much bliss

 

You took it all for free

You took it all at once

You didn´t ask You just came

to take it all and make it yours

In the name of your golden house

 

The answer is Hidden between the lines

I can not tell Wrong from right

There´s more to life Than this

An angry sky And so much bliss

 

Ocean tears

 

These tears are rolling down my face
They´re salty like sea water
The ocean´s  tides run through my veins
I am the ocean´s daughter

And so are you
A glorious view
the sea, wave after wave
white horses wild
with manes of light
but plastic shreds as a bridle

Uuuuhhhhhhh
Have you seen it, dear
The ocean s stuffed with plastic       
at times we´re full of fear
But still we feel fantastic

Aquatic birds  lie at the cost
They die and fly nomore
The fish like ghosts
Are washed ashore
Money´s our idol

Uuuuhhhhhhh
It hurts so much
The ocean s stuffed with plastic       
At times we´re losing touch
But still we feel fantastic
Uuuuhhhhhhh
Have you seen it, dear
The ocean s stuffed with plastic       
at times we´re full of fear
But still we feel fantastic
