Track Name: Thank You For The Sun
Thank you for the sun, my love
I was trying to write a song
That shines on me when I feel blue.

I say thank you very much
Because you’ve never lost your touch
To make me feel this good.

Yeah, thank you for the stars and the moon
Every night inside my room
I see it in your eyes:
It must be love,
I believe it’s love.

Thank you for the sun my love,
Doesn’t matter right or wrong
What matters is when I’m with you.

Thank you ‘cause you made me a fool,
Thank you ‘cause today I knew:
There is a light in my heart,
And it’s never going to stop.

All the times I said:
“Sing for me my little princess”
All the time I spent
Back and forth in different places…

Thank you for the sun my love,
I was trying to write a song that shines on me…
Thank you, my love
Thank you so much
Thank you, my darling
Thank you, my love
Thank you so much
Thank you, my darling
Thank you, my sweetheart.
Track Name: What She Meant
What did you mean
When you said: “No”?
What did you mean
When you said:
“Go away and never come back again”?
Tell me, please:
What did you mean?

Why did you laugh
When I said: “I’m in love”?
Why‘re you so rough?
Are you proud of what you’ve done?
‘Cause I don’t think you’ll remember my name
But honey, it’s OK, just…
Why did you stay?

What did you mean
When you said: “Oh, nice try”?
What did you mean
When you waved your hand goodbye?
‘Cause I don’t think I'll forget that day
It’s written on my face:
What did you mean?
Track Name: Behind Doors
What should have happened, girl?
You looked so happy when I saw you
This very afternoon

The sun was shining
Such a beautiful smile
And the sparkle
You had it in your look

What does it matter if he says you look fatter?
Don't be like this, please open up that door
This house is burning down
And you're not the only one
Demanding another chance for love

You're not really looking for a place to run
You don't care enough about the pain he's done
‘Cause I know you
And I know what you went through
But you're dreaming of shadows

I'd like to kiss her
And stop this fever
That makes me feel like:
“shubi shubi daba-daba-da”

It hurts to see her
Wetting my t-shirt
I want to give you:
“shubi-dubi daba-daba-da”
Those happy days are gone
Now you must look up to the front
Try your luck 'cause you never know...
(shubi shubi daba-daba-da)

Don't think it is fair
Play on this dream again
When love's within you:
“shubi subi-daba-daba-da”

What should have happened, girl?
You looked so happy when I saw you
This very afternoon

I hear you crying right behind doors
That are closed, and I know:
This day just had to come...

You're not really looking for a place to run
You're not gonna miss me when I'm dead or gone
‘Cause I love, I say I do love you...
And you're dreaming of shadows
Track Name: Black Sheep
Black Sheep

I've missed the train
Oh, I'm so sorry
How am I supposed to feel?
My heart is drowning
No one to blame
No one but myself
But the streets won't go away
Despite the darkness, no

So I walk my lane
Across the lightnings
Yes I’m pretty well aware of what I’m saying
I’m home again, I see you crying
But the tears don’t kill the pain
You have to fight it

“Boy, your future's lost”
Is there still a chance to save my world?
I don't want to grow up
Is there still a chance to save my soul?
I don't want to know, no

I've missed the train
Oh, I'm so sorry
But I’m really not afraid of what it's coming
Are you ashamed or disappointed?
Am I guilty for the sin of being honest, sir?

“Boy, your future's lost”
Is there still a chance to save my world?
I don't want to grow up
Is there still a chance to save my soul?
I don't want to know

I've missed the train, oh-aaah
I've missed the train, oh-aaah
...And this is all my fault

“Boy, your future's lost”
Is there still a chance to save my world?
I don't want to grow up;
Is there still a chance to save my soul?
So I wanted to say to you, to you:
I don't want to know, no
Track Name: Hang Out With The Boys
HANG OUT WITH THE BOYS


I want to hang out with the boys again
Now that we married nothing is the same
I'd like to hang out with my friends someday
And have a party time, again

My girlie, sweet honey
You're my favorite, the one for me
Your loving: I love it
And when you’re next to me, it’s just glory
You’re so elegant, and so funny
And when you’re next to me, I feel floating
I love you, but I’m sorry
‘Cause inside of my heart there's a part
That wants to bring back the way it was…

I want to hang out with the boys again
Now that we married nothing is the same
I'd like to hang out with my friends someday
And have a party time, again

My girlie, sweet honey
You're my melody, the one for me
I love you but I'm sorry
'cause inside of my heart there's a part
That wants to bring back the way it was…

I want to hang out with the boys again
Now that we married nothing is the same
I'd like to hang out with my friends someday
And have a party time, again

I miss the good old days
I miss the great they were
I miss the fights, the laughs,
The nights with no end

'Cause inside of my heart there's a part
That wants to bring back the way it was
In my mind...

I want to hang out with the boys again
Now that we married nothing is the same
I'd like to hang out with my friends someday
And have a party time, again

I miss the good old days.
Track Name: Talk About It
Talk About It

Why don't you want to talk about it?
I don't remember when we last did
Why don't you want to talk about it?
You change the subject...

Why don't you want to share your feelings?
I'm sure it won't be such a big deal
You know that I have always been here
Trust me please dear
I want to know what's going on
Oh, my love!

How long will I stand, how long?
Oh, lord, and where did I go wrong?
How long will I stand, how long?

Why don't you want to talk about it?
I don't remember when we last did
Why don't you want to talk about it?
You change the subject...

I know you're gonna feel so lonely
You’re going’ to regret this badly
If you try to ignore the feeling
If you try to pretend you don’t care
How long will you stand, how long, how long?
How come, dear, you never called?
How come?
Oh, not even once...no
Talk about it...
Talk about it...
Why don't you want to talk about it?
Let’s talk about it.
Track Name: Raise The Dead
RAISE THE DEAD

We have come to raise the dead
'Cause we need them back again
It is time to raise the dead
'Cause we need them back again

We have come to wake you up
'Cause we want to know the truth
We are missing you a lot
And we want it’s true.

No matter where you are, will never be that far , oh no
It’s not a false alarm, and we’re running out of time

We’ll be waiting in the parks
From the morning till it’s dark
In the company of stars…

We have come to raise the dead
'Cause we need them back again
It is time to raise the dead
In our hearts and in our heads

You left us long ago, and you’re welcomed to return, yes
In a minute it’ll be gone, please say goodbye this once

Would you write us, would you call
If you want us to be strong?
‘Cause your silence’s like a wall…

They say “It's not your time yet, then you'll have to wait your turn”
I say: “I don't know why tonight the sky's so beautiful”
I know the meaning but I don't recall
Is not what you picture, I just need to talk about how I feel:

We have come to raise the dead
'Cause we need them back again
It is time to raise the dead
'Cause we need them back again

We have come to raise the dead…
Track Name: All The Sweet
How many times I’ve felt mysteries over my head?
How many times I've guessed the way you could see through this bend?
So many gone to waste
Sleepless when you're not awake
How many times I've tasted overprotection?

I won't hear your cry
And no matter how hard you try
I won't hear your weep
Save the tears inside your mind
Don’t you realize?
You’re still pleased and satisfied
Don’t you see you’re weak?
Every night I watch you grow old
But I’ll walk you everywhere you go
‘Cause I’m overprotective

How many times I've felt so very close to the end?
How many times I've searched the way to pretend that I don't care?
But I'm your friend, and I'll do everything I can
To show your way out of this fancy shell ... and step ahead
There's a stormy weather here
And I'm afraid you won't see anything clear.

I won't hear your cry
And no matter how hard you try
I won't hear your weep
Save the tears inside your mind
Don’t you realize?
You’re still pleased and satisfied
Don’t you see you’re weak?
Every night I watch you grow old
But I’ll walk you everywhere you go

All your dreams are lies oh-oh-oh
All your dreams are lies, lies
And to be precise, oh-oh-oh
All your dreams are lies tonight.
Give me this love of mine…
I want this love of mine…

You're overprotected.
Track Name: The Local Policeman
THE LOCAL POLICEMAN

The local policeman
He said to me this evening
“Do not tell no one
Whatever you’ve been listening”
And I don't know what to do
'Cause I feel so screwed up by you

Please give me your name and your driving license card
I'll write down your numbers and I'll learn your face by heart
yeah
I don't think it’s luck and I’ll be standing where I was
Are you trying to scare me, sir? You’re not a man to trust

The local policeman
He said to me this evening
To not trust strangers
Is funny that you're saying this
Well I 'm sure of what to do
'Cause I am so fed up with you
Do I know this feeling?
It's deep inside my skin

Try next time with someone
Who will be more of your size
You feed my neurosis so my neurosis has raised
When you grabbed my head so rude and put me in the car
Hundred feelings lost then carried on my broken heart
“You released the fire now it is your time to burn”

The local policeman
He said to me this evening
“Do not tell no one
Whatever you’ve been listening”
And I don’t know what to do
‘Cause I feel so screwed up by you
Do I know this feeling?
It’s deep inside my skin

The local policeman
He said to me this evening
The local policeman
But I don't care
Track Name: Push On A Heart
Well she made the first move
I was quite slow and it took me by surprise

Now I'm filled with this blue
Got to carry on and bury it deep inside

“Did you have enough?” she said
“Well, I’m half dead, though I won’t surrender”

There’s a heart beneath the skin
If you listen closely you’ll hear it sing

Go from happiness to selfpitiness
Push the heart till breaks
if love's a game
l don't wanna play
no
I don't wanna play

Well she left me so bruced
I could see the stars falling from the sky

What am I supposed to do?
Nowhere to go, this is no man’s land

Better take those knives out from your eyes
I’ve known your game for a long, long time

I won’t leave without you
It is really hard for me to say goodbye

Go from happiness to selfpitiness
Push the heart till breaks
if love's a game
l don't wanna play
no
I don't wanna play

Go from happiness to selfpitiness
Push the heart ‘till breaks
Push the heart away
Push the heart again
Push push push!
Push push push!
