Break the gates “There is no time to walk away, And there is no way to break the gates, oh, no... There is no chance to win this game; Try it in vain but you still don't have enough” “I've got time, you've got time, And we both try to do things right, But I'm not ready To let your loving come in trough my mind” “Are you looking for a gateway? Or maybe you're trying to lose some time, my love? Despite the times you said 'don't really need you' Accidentally you did come back home...” “I've got time, you've got time, And we both try to do things right, But I'm not ready To let your loving come in trough my mind. I feel fine, yeah, feel so fine But I don't want you to hurt me inside 'Cause I'm not ready To let your loving come in trough my mind, Oh, all right” “You are making this so hard, oh-oh Pretending we're still looking for tomorrow We're looking 'cause we don't know Where is it... But when the time is come you will forget your grief Sometimes you've got to give in...” “You are taking this so far, oh-oh” Let's burn out with cigarettes our houses Let's burn out every trousers “Yes, we will! So finally I'm ready to start this trip” “Now open wide and scream” “There is no time to walk away There is no way to break the gates, oh, no So you have to sing along... ...Sing this song again.”

SECRETS ARE FOR KEEPING It is your hand waving bye My lips around yours for a while... (keep the secret) This is the crime you're trying to hide You're such a killer inside your eyes (keep the secret) Whisperings in every corner, when I'm lying by your side, every night Try not to breath, try to lie, it is a pity if you have to die (keep the secret) This song will allways be just for you, believe Nobody heard this one but you, darling please... I feel'em come, outside Empty my home if you wave bye (keep the secret) Save me the words, don't be shy This is a minute for a lifetime (keep the secret) Mysteries across the mountains, seem all my dreams remain, in the rain Is it your heart beating fast? give me your hand we'll slow it down (keep the secret) This song will allways be just for you, believe Nobody heard this one but you, darling please... This song will allways be just for you, shu-shuba-shuba Nobody heard this one but you, shu-shuba-shuba Darling please, believe... Why don't we go home?

1984 02:16
1984 I take you back to 1984 Was the year I actually was born And I'd want to go back, once more I want you back, in 1984... I fell asleep in 1984 Couldn't say if I did wake up or not But if I did it would be long, long time ago So I will watch you go by, once more Oh, oh, oh, and break my heart, like you did before Like you did before.... And you can hear it on the radio You can pretend that you're not ready, no, no no But you'll be blinded by the night If you don't see what I'm trying to say... Another day will be better than today... I take you back to 1984 Was the year I actually was born And I'd want to go back, once more I want you back....

Kids playing to be men You don’t care about my feelings You don’t care indeed “You’re over reacting, dear” And now I’m in prison for no reason Come on set me free!!! It's not so hard To break my heart Into a thousand pieces Yet still beating And all that matters from now on Is that you didn't show off This very evening Dear, How can't you see I'm falling free? Lick the stars for me, honey And suck the greed Off my finger tips You don’t care about my feelings You don’t care indeed “You’re starting to scare me” It's not so hard To lock my door And throw away the key Down to the sea… Oh, I'm on my own Against the wall Blink your eyes on me, come on And break my bones Take me in your breasts Until you cut my breath Or let me bleed to death, honey 'Cause love is trust, and trust is care You were too worried about your hair Looking at your feet... My love for you is second handed 'cause you made me forget myself Let me out of this feeling, please, babe

Kill Her 02:23
Kill Her She walked away (oh-oh) And I just want to say (oh-oh) That from that very same day I want her back again I'm not coming home (pa-pa) So I'm still looking for her (oh-oh) But I finally realized That she's with another guy And no matter how hard I cry She already said goodbye, she said goodbye... I don't know what to say no, no , no, no, no I'm killing her today no, no, no, no, no, no! I'm killing her today no, no, no, no, no, no!

Las Vegas in my heart I always wanted to go to Las Vegas So drink dry martinis all day, trying to forget her Would you like to come on with me, beautiful stranger? We'll play, I will play and maybe you'll find your answer It's so sweet of you to say, But all the feelings that did remain, They went so far... So when she took me to her room She said: “you'll never, never know the truth” But I'm trying hard... Oh we had some fun, uh? Was so much fun Was it? I always wanted to go to Las Vegas So drink caipirinhas all day trying to forget her All my life I wanted to try something better Singing songs of joy: “bada-bada” Singing for my love : “bada-bada” Singing 'cause I'm broke "bada-bada" I'm singing forever It's so sweet of you to say, But all the feelings that did remain They went so far So when she took me to her room All the things that I assumed They went so far... Darling, darling, don't you please Take this so personally Is not your fault..... lie!

Gold 02:16
Gold You don't care about the fishes and the trees You don't care at all You don't care about the birds and the bees The only thing you care about is gold Always wanted more Always wanted more Once you said: “I'm sure I'm gonna die, and that I'm supposed to cry But I won't, I just want gold” Every day when you go home Find yourself so alone Every day when you go home Find yourself so alone But you don't care cause you have gold And that is told... You don't care about the people on the streets You don't care at all You don't care if they have enough to eat The only thing you care about is gold The only thing you care about is gold The only thing you care about is gold

MISERY AND LUCK ...And then the bomb explodes But nobody was hurt At the news they said no one was found dead But still don't understand And it rounds and rounds my head. I saw pieces of land Flying around Markets where collapsing, my friend While buildings falling down And the people who were there Lay now on their own beds Sleepless Oh, darling you can choose... Oh, you can choose, Oh baby you can try! When I see you crying, I know is something I did, So don't try to deny it: It's misery and luck... But this time: Oh, baby you can try! So when I heard the news today I felt the fire down my hands I called you home a thousand times But you do never realized And now you've got to understand I need you right now by my side And never looking back again Is misery and luck... So spit up to the sky!

Sweetheart 03:00
SWEETHEART She said: “I'm done, hon, come on” ¿How many times have I heard this song? While you still stay young You will never be alone So pretty and so dumb But in the end I'm still in love with you... She never read books, she never cooks she never wanted to take a look Because she is so beautiful “But she's just a silly girl” And no matter what they say Anyway, I'm still in love with you... 'm still in love, Amanda 'm still in love, Suzanna 'm still in love, Maria 'm still in love, Cristina 'm still in love with you... I'm getting tired of this routine Everyday's the same For you and me I was dead already when you found me Perhaps we have to try new things, Maybe it's time... Oh, darling, please! So when she met my family No one could believe (oh, no!) All my friends are asking why I choose a girl as she (choose a girl as she...) I feel so ridiculous Fell in love with a stupid girl But she's the only one I want for me... Oh, what an irony! I said: Tick-tock:Where are you from? Come on everybody gonna sing this song! La-la-looking for the dressing room And looking (looking) for a telephone No matter what they say (no way!) Every day: I'm still in love with you 'm still in love, Amanda 'm still in love Suzanna, 'm still in love Cristina 'm still in love with you 'm still in love with you! ..And ain't gonna change my mind

The Last Day 03:32
THE LAST DAY This is my last day on earth And I forgot to say goodbye I want to talk to all the children And warn them to do things right And so I'm walking through the streets where I have grown And I remember all my wishes and my dreams And situations in my car when driving home, but Now I realize what I forgot Now I realize what I forgot... This is my last day on earth And I forgot to say goodbye I want to talk to all the children And warn them to do things right And warn them to do things right... 1, 2, 3 ,4... I forgot How many opportunities I left behind ...Everything you said was right I should have kissed you when I had the chance I knew you were my lady from the very first glance Everything she said was right Everything you said was right I'm afraid of blood and I'm afraid of gold I can contemplate my life in slow motion Through the back of my head, I feel a white light in the end... Through the back of my head, I feel a white light in the end This is my last day on earth And I forgot to say goodbye I want to talk to all the children And warn them to do things right... This is my last day on earth And I forgot you to say goodnight And I forgot you to say goodnight

Henry's red compass All of the books I've read and All those stories on my bed Every cigarette breath I remember quite well Look inside of me Look and try to see Something to believe in Guess I'm losing the chord: Don't know where I belong Shiny, shiny night Show me good, show me right Trembling, trembling star Tell me why do I cry Look inside of me Look and try to see Something to believe in Guess I'm losing the chord: Don't know where I belong Is there any place to go? Well, I don't know... I Don't know my way to go But think it's the end of the road Anyway, thanks a lot This is all that I can afford So if there is a place in here for me I will try to go straight in One step further on Never stop growing old Is there any place to go? Is there any chance to blow? Is my voice enough for you to realize, To show me what is like, And keep you by my side 'till morning lights... Don't know where I belong Don't know it anymore Don't know where I come from Don' know where I anymore Don't know where I was born Don't know where I belong

In My Pocket 04:15
IN MY POCKET I've got you in my pocket Since I took off my jacket Oh yeah My heart is on your wallet, uh uh uh But you don't know how to find it There is something wrong with you And you don't even know what it is There is something wrong with you But you don't care much about it I've got you in my pocket, uh-uh-uh Since I land with my rocket, oh yeah Keep on rolling, angel You don't even know where you are There is something sure: Is that you don't even know where you are There is something wrong with you You don't care much about it.

DON’T LET HER KNOW I’M DYING I’m talking to the reverend While I’m lying in this bed, and I’m asking with all my heart: “Don’t let her know I’m dying” The reverend is saying: “Maybe she would like to know” But ain’t gonna change my mind, sir: Don’t let her know I’m dying So please don’t, mister, let her know I’m dying I beg you to attend to the last will of a dying friend ‘Cause I don’t want to hear her, don’t want to hear her crying So she won’t know That I’ll be gone Until tomorrow I’m writing you this letter I hope you’ll get it well Please try to understand me, please…. I ‘m so sorry for all this I was afraid to tell The doctor wanted to call but I said: “Don’t let her know I’m dying” So please don’t, mister, let her know I’m dying I beg you to attend to the last will of a dying friend ‘Cause I don’t want to hear her, don’t want to hear her crying So she won’t know That I’ll be gone Until tomorrow Tomorrow… But tomorrow will be too late…
