DON´T LET A GOOD WOMAN DOWN If you got a woman who wants to be your wife Don´t just keep her hanging on until someone else arrives Don´t let a good woman down Dedicated woman needs a strong man by her side Something isn´t right if you still cannot decide Don´t let a good woman down Woman is a superhero filling up her calendar Mother lover businessman too many have a broken heart No don´t let a good woman down Don´t tell her white lies She´s trying her best Like her Mother did And my Mother did Like all the sister are doing right now Around the world Don´t let a good woman down

HARD AS STONE You´re in the underground So many things around you The rail tracks loud The sound breaks through Full or empty seats The others don’t seem lonely Then they vanish to the streets Giddy-up you must hurry The trip is taking you to the furthest zone In your mind you´re singing so you don’t feel alone Wish you were a stone so you could be as hard as one Wish you were a stone so wouldn´t burn under the Sun Wish you were a stone so you could sleep under the tree Wish you were a stone so you could dive into the bottom of the Sea A destination Far away from home Walk away from the station On cold hard stones If you would get lost Will you be found ´Cause some of us are soft Drowning in the crowd The trip is taking you to the furthest zone In your mind you´re singing so you don’t feel alone Wish you were a stone so you could be as hard as one Wish you were a stone so wouldn´t burn under the Sun Wish you were a stone so you could sleep under the tree Wish you were a stone so you could dive into the bottom of the Sea Hard as stone Wish I was as hard as stone, hard Wish you were a stone so you could be as hard as one Wish you were a stone so wouldn´t burn under the Sun Hard as stone, hard as stone Hard as stone Wish you were as hard as stone Hard as stone, hard as stone Stone hard, hard stone Stone hard Stone hard, hard stone Stone hard

Torn (Live) 04:20
TORN Laugh as much as you like I will still be standing With my bare feet firm on solid ground I´ve been torn to pieces Been falling to my knees I´ve been used up and been fooled around But I´m still going strong I will keep moving on Find out where I belong Not afraid of going wrong To walk to the unknown The unknown My heart can be broken but by the same token There is something burning inside that wants to be free Still I ain´t fallen and I hear life callin´ ´Cause the battle is in vain if we´ll never be free Keep on keep on laughing I will keep on trudging Need my soul recharging for this ride A little pocket money And a drop of honey For my morning tea will keep me satisfied ´Cause I´m still going strong I will keep moving on Find out where I belong Not afraid of going wrong To walk to the unknown The unknown My heart can be broken but by the same token There is something burning inside that wants to be free Still I ain´t fallen and I hear life callin´ ´Cause the battle is in vain if we´ll never be free My heart can be broken but by the same token There is something burning inside that wants to be free Still I ain´t fallen and I hear life callin´ ´Cause the battle is in vain if we´ll never be free ´Cause my heart can be broken ´Cause my heart can be broken broken My heart can be broken but by the same token There is something burning inside that wants to be free Still I ain´t fallen and I hear life callin´ ´Cause the battle is in vain if we´ll never be free My heart can be broken but by the same token There is something burning inside that wants to be free Still I ain´t fallen and I hear life callin´ ´Cause the battle is in vain if we´ll never be free

DREAMLAND BLUES Hey babe won´t you follow me Hey baby won´t you follow me To the special place Where you won´t feel blue Where the sun always shines But don´t let it dazzle on you Hey babe don´t waste your day by being down Hey babe don´t waste your day by being down Just loosen up enjoy this ride I´ll be your friend I´ll be by your side Hey babe get into the caravan Hey babe get into the caravan There´s a place for you to do the hoochie coo Laughs are all around all the good time wait for you

LOVER´S NOVELS You ´d been away All the night´n day Why do you make me wait Why do you treat me this way There´s something going on You don´t wanna come home I´m waiting around Reading the novels that I found Lover´s novels on the kitchen table You say I ain´t right But how can I be wrong When you hurt me with lies I can see it in your eyes You cannot just pretend That she is just a friend A pile of lover´s books Oh this kitchen has too many cooks Lover´s novels on the kitchen table I need you to go No I don´t want you no more Too late to make amends Now every book has it´s end I feel it in my bones Someday you´ll be alone So lonely and depraved Reading the novels that she gave Lover´s novels on the kitchen table

ANOTHER WORLD In another world there´s you and me See us raising a family No machines no noise around Just happiness and love profound Yellow roses, rosemary Pick a berry from a tree Everyone is growing no-one tearing down If you want to harvest you need to nurture the ground We´re caring cause we need to grow We´re dreaming cause we want to know If we could find another planet Together we could travel high The only thing that really matters Is that we survive These empty rooms my reality Co-existence my fantasy Cause if we could leave here now We could take off from the ground We would see this current world is upside down We´re caring cause we need to grow We´re dreaming cause we want to know If we could find another planet Together we could travel high The only thing that really matters Is that we survive If we could find another planet Together we could travel high The only thing that really matters Is that we survive There´s another world for lovers in a parallel universe There´s another world for lovers There´s another world for lovers in a parallel universe There´s another world for lovers There´s another world for lovers in a parallel universe There´s another world for lovers Alright people over there I hope you feeling good You´re doing good You´ve been safe and healthy Let enjoy the music together Let´s have a good time And here we go You can sing with me And we can do like this, oh yeah here we go Ou- ou-oo Ou- ou-oo Ou- ou-oo Ou- ou-oo If we could find another planet Together we could travel high The only thing that really matters Is that we survive If we could find another planet Together we could travel high The only thing that really matters Is that we survive

SNAKE IN THE GRASS Standing on my own land Got a full bucket in my hand Under a golden yellow Sun Picking up berries one by one Not waiting for company In the garden´s harmony But what is it´s nature Dangerous creature Snake in the grass, snake in the grass Snake in the grass, snake in the grass A stranger came in here I want it to disappear But it´s moving in Getting ready to disagree Charming can be the tongue of a snake Whispering words that are fake Bringing back a memory It was ugly it was mean Snake in the grass, snake in the grass Snake in the grass, snake in the grass `Cause some things are venomous and then you better run A nasty thing is sneaking in and making your skin crawl Oh how it bit me hard I still feel the scars Got through my skin Mine was fragile mine was thin Found myself some medicine And learned how to grow a skin This time I won’t let it sting Defend myself from suffering ´Cause it ain´t Nothing but a just another Slimy little motherfucker Looking for a someone to bite Snake in the grass, snake in the grass Snake in the grass, snake in the grass Snake, snake, snake Snake, snake, snake Snake in the grass, snake in the grass Snake, snake, snake Snake in the grass, snake in the grass Snake, snake, snake ´Cause it ain´t Nothing but a just another Slimy little motherfucker Looking for a someone to bite

ROCKING CHAIR Life´s a journey now I understand It takes time to learn to know where you stand Working hours can be so long You can be right, but you can be wrong I don´t believe in a new sensation Keep on heading in a wrong direction TV making everyone a freaking talent Steal your money poison the planet Rock my rocking chair Rock my rocking chair Oh, my friend where´s the mystery Art used to be a speciality You do your best but life´s unfair you´ll be lucky if you get your share When you´re old and you´ve lost your hair hope you won´t be lost if nobody cares I don’t want much just to be somewhere Swinging gently in the rocking chair Rock my rocking chair Rock my rocking chair Rock my rocking chair Rock my rocking chair Rock my rocking chair Rock my rocking chair Rock my rocking chair Rock my rocking chair

WEDDING DAY Past two weeks I´ve been so bored All these troubles at my door Was waiting for a lucky kick But I ended up just feeling sick My boyfriend was out of town I was looking for a wedding gown A thousand is a decent price My wedding dress no compromise So he returned took me out To the fancy city restaurant But the question never came I would say that was more than lame Waiting for a wedding day When he told me why he was away He was having a double play Two Brides-to-be one fiancé Had to run away from there From the streets of Mayfair I am calling off my wedding day I am calling off my wedding day Thought I was gonna flip What an ass, what an ego-trip He said “sorry if I´ve put you down But someday you will come around” Had to return the white gown In the shop I felt like a clown ´Cause I couldn’t see this coming Never ever I was cursing Waited for a wedding day When he told me why he was away He´d been having a double play Two Brides-to-be one fiancé Had to run away from there From the streets of Mayfair I am calling off my wedding day I am calling off my wedding day So I posted status single It is time to start to mingle Something old something new Something blue to replace you Still time for a wedding gown Ain´t no time for slowing down Get me another fiancé Who wouldn´t do anyone but me Had to run away from there From the streets of Mayfair I am calling off my wedding day I am calling off my wedding day I am calling off my wedding day

WILDFLOWER Like a little flower Floating freely on the Sea Like a little flower Floating freely on the Sea That is my soul That is my soul Like a wildflower The way I want to be Ou-ou-ou Every waking hour Seems to run away from me I wanna climb up to the tower Spend my lost moments in peace ´Cause it´s my soul ´Cause it´s my soul Every waking hour They all belong to me Ou-ou-ou Yes it´s my soul Yes it´s my soul Like a wildflower The way I want to be Ou-ou-ou Ou-ou-ou Ou-ou-ou
