Karaoke Star

I'm a karaoke star Just a karaoke star The world will never notice me 'cause I'm just second best I'm a karaoke star Just a karaoke star The world will never notice me 'cause I'm not even second best, to be honest

I'm singing songs that someone sang better than me I'm saying things that someone said before I'm no high-class beauty Got no safe full of gold And I've no illusions cause I know

We have a dream that millions dreamt already in vain Believing things 'cause someone told us to Just an average talent With no plan where to go Future holds no promise 'cause we know

We are karaoke stars Mere karaoke stars The world will never notice us 'cause we are just second best We are karaoke stars Just karaoke stars The world will never notice us 'cause we're not even second best, to be honest Yes, we're not even second best, at last

 

The Blue Danube

We had a fair chance romance and all But we brought our feelings To a fall Summer just vanished And love did the same It's not this nice place we should blame

And the blue Danube silently flows below me Got to face the truth My love just broke in two While the blue Danube Mirrors the sun above me I've to turn away cause this beauty pierces my eyes

Feeling like tourists in our own lives In every picture Red-rimmed eyes Statues and cafés tombstones and trees no such thing could hold back love's disease

The Things I Don't Like Anymore

It's the end of a winter that's been hard to bear Now the colours are getting brighter Skirts and skateboards everywhere

Now is the time I'd have called you to go outside with me Now cherry blossoms, coffee cups And spring rolls with chopsticks Are the things that I don't like anymore Without you

Roam the streets, watch the people Bite into a sweet fresh strawberry Feel the spiky grass with bare feet On a sunny afternoon

Now is the time I'd have called you to go outside with me Now cherry blossoms, coffee cups And spring rolls with chopsticks And fountains with Neptunes Are the things that I don't like anymore Without you

Now is the time I'd have called you to go outside with me Now cherry blossoms, coffee cups And spring rolls with chopsticks And fountains with Neptunes And summer dresses with high-heeled shoes And ice-cream with extra chocolate And the smell of lime trees And the sounds of a playground Are the things that I don't like anymore Without you

Magnolia

Life explodes Underneath a perfect sky The piercing cold A memory as winter dies

Magnolia A feverish blossom Magnolia You wilt as fast as you came Magnolia

Beauty shocks Its sudden birth just makes you cry Briefly unlocked The secret door to paradise

This Train

This train - it is travelling under the sun And it takes some people home Who know that there's a place where they belong It gently sways With a steady beat it chugs along Well the train is moving on Oblivious of the traveller's soul

This train - it is travelling under the moon Yes it drags me far away and hurries to a place I don't belong And it grinds With a thundering noise it tears along Well the train is moving on Oblivious of the traveller's soul

Yes it speeds And it tears me away from home While the train is moving on It's ripping up my travelling soul

I Believe in Spring

I was walking down the street while the green and the leaves of the trees were playing hide-and-seek When some shy ray touched my skin I was surprised that I found myself starting to grin

And the cherry petals are falling down like snow They remind me of crying in the winter's cold Now they touch me like a miracle

I believe in spring Mr. Legrand said: "You must believe in spring" I believe in spring Mr. Legrand said, Mr. Legrand said, Mr. Legrand said: "You must believe in spring"

In the meantime, I will dance I will skip, jump and somersault into a trance watch the colours come to life and how they make a happy picture out of sad old black-and-white

Snow

Snow's falling down and Slowly it covers All of the warmth inside me Chilling me to the bone Lets me feel alone In a crystal world

Cold - the blank frightening Hole - I try to Recall times you were beside me Telling me to be calm I won't feel the harm No more

A world of sun it waits for me Time will melt the snow Takes away the dark and cold Time will melt the snow

Game Over

You’ve got a strange affliction You think it’s wrong to do something right Out of touch, out of sight I’ve got this weird addiction I always long to be by your side But now I see a red light It says it’s ...

Game over You’ve lost your final points Now my guns are loaded And I’ll shoot the whole thing down Yes it’s - Game over You squandered your last coins Destruction’s triggered ‘cause you let me down, down, down, down, yeah

You’ve got this tiresome habit You take my heart to play ping-pong You make me cry all night long I tend to misinterpret All the signs that tell me you 're wrong But this one’s much too strong Now it’s….

Home At Last

The car's moving so fast Transporting me back to my past Driving home at last

We dash into the black night Illuminated by our headlights Rushing home at last

The car's rolling too fast Why can't I make this moment last Soon I will arrive home at last

Bright Light

I know the sun is bound to rise Every single morning it appears For my doubts I apologize I've always been a victim of my fears

In the bright light The centre of my hope You will always be near In the bright light I know that I can cope Love will conquer the fear

I know sometimes it's better to stay low There are false illusions of a better day I swim in the vague and deep pools of my sorrow where opaque water fades out every ray

I Try

You made up unspoken rules Cling too close and you close up As far as I'm far away we're love-fools You fool me with words until I break up And I'm trying, trying....

Well I try not to push you Cause to rush through would be a mistake And I try not to get too close to you Well I try not to rush through Cause to push you would be a mistake And I try not to get too close to you

This seems to be my straight access to sadness I turn away, at once you claim me back There's so much more to us, you couldn't care less we're playing tag but I lost your track

Weeds

A field full of bad plants I try to mend the fence 'Cause the field harms my garden The wrong seeds spread over My sweet peaceful orchard Will suddenly be full of weed

I'll free myself from all the bad dreams I'll free my heart from all the weeds
