Track Name: Prelude
no lyrics
Track Name: Happy Song
I tried to write a happy song but I failed
Instead of happy it was sad
It’s not easy for me to write happy songs
It’s not that I always mourn but I’m just not the happy-song-singer one

A sad song can touch your heart
A sad song can heal your love
A sad song can make you happy
A sad song can carry out all sicknesses
And bring back to your lips another smile

I tried to write a happy song but I failed
Instead of happy it was sad
Don’t know if it’s got to do with my skills
But the chords in minor
They rather reveal how I feel

A sad song can touch your heart
A sad song can heal your love
A sad song can make you happy
A sad song can carry out all sicknesses
And bring back to your lips another smile

I tried to write a happy song but I failed
Instead of happy it was sad
Somebody said a long time ago:
What’s the use when you cry
and nobody knows?
So sing as loud as you can
Track Name: Little Heart
Oh my little heart, my honey-bucket trap
Drain your swallowed miserables
And keep motoring inside my chest

You laid in the chill so many winters
Yet when the sun errects widely reflect
Your splinters all the beams that have bursted you before

Oh my sweet heart, so many times
I’ve put a pumpgun straight to you, straight to you

No question of authenticity
But rather of immunity
No question of authenticity

Lalalalalaalaalalaa

Oh my little heart, my honey-bucket trap
Drain your swallowed miserables
And keep motoring inside my chest

You laid in the chill so many winters
Yet when the sun errects widely reflect
Your splinters all the beams
That have bursted you before
That have bursted you before
Track Name: One Night
The birds may sing and the sun may shine
But I wont be happy till I call you mine
Everybody seems to be so satisfied
But I walk alone among the empty street lights

I stay awake all night thinking of you
'Cause if there is someone you love but you can’t show it to
Ther is no worse thing than the emptiness in your arms
And you just imagine if you could have a chance

One night with you in my arms, I’d be charmed

When I walk with you in the sun of the day
There are no more things that we need to say
You can come closer and I come close to you
Is this still a dream or have dreams come true?

And you ring my doorbell in the mid of the night
You said you can’T sleep ‘cause you think of me all the time
And I took you in, deep in my heart
And we have decided
That we never be apart

One night with you in my arms, I’d be charmed
Track Name: Raised by the Sky
I was raised by the sky
I was raised by the moon
Golden gates and tender harmonies
And fallen angels in a flickering light

So close your eyes and see me in gloom
I saw a soul naked of life
So close your eyes and see me in gloom
I saw a soul so naked of life

I have been an embedded soul
I have seen the dragons fly
A diffusing light came into my mind
I have seen planets collide

So close your eyes and see me in gloom
I saw a soul naked of life
So close your eyes and see me in gloom
I saw a soul so naked of life

Have you ever given up all hope to survive
Have you ever felt alive
Have you ever given up all hope to survive
Have you ever felt alive
Have you ever given up all hope to survive
Have you ever felt alive
Have you ever given up all hope to survive
Have you ever felt alive
Have you ever felt alive
Have you ever felt alive
Track Name: You and Me
You and me we built a house in the tree
We made it on our own our last resort to seek
We have made it of planks of wood
And even if they wanted they could not take us home
You were the cowboy and I the indian chief
We slept in tents told horror stories

But we were growing older and time changed everything
I still remember how I felt that spring

We have played with the old leather ball
Jumped over fences, ran on the neighbor’s lawn
In front of our house we’ve painted the asphalt with our hands
We’ve been so bold

But we were growing older and time changed everything
I still remember how I felt that spring

Now I feel like half a pair of shoes
Don’t know if you hear this but this song it is for you
And even if you’re pissed I want you to know
That I miss you and the times we’ve been so close

But we were growing older and time changed everything
I still remember how I felt that spring
Oh we were growing older and time changed everything
I still remember how I felt that spring
Track Name: This Life
The sun set in the west
We settled for a rest
At the waterside of a lake so deep and wide
Hope, hope that it will never change
But you know it’s really unsure if it stays all in one place

And the wind it whispers carefully
Have no fear it won’t disappear unless you treasure it in your mind
I, I am so moved into you
And as sure as kisses do know
There’s two lovers side by side

I just found out it’s a beautiful life
So tenderly your hand lies in mine
I just found out it’s a beautiful life
We were a part of this wonderful night

The stars were the only witnesses to our love
Just the waves they swayed to our motions
Stay, stay for a little while sweet moment
You are so golden as we unite

I just found out it’s a beautiful life
So tenderly your hand lies in mine
I just found out it’s a beautiful life
We were a part of this wonderful night

I just found out it’s a beautiful life
So tenderly your hand lies in mine
I just found out it’s a beautiful life
We were a part of this wonderful night
Track Name: The Lover
We were sitting at the bank
Wind and waves and wine were our friends
We spoked and loved and you heard me sing
Only the moon saw us kissing

There is the city of the opera
There’s the city of love
A castle at the deep blue water
And the stars shining far above

And you, you are my lover you are my joy
There’s nothing I’m missing, I will be your boy
Sweet rosy lips and deep brown eyes
Oh we had such a good good time

You drove the car in the heat of the sun
The music played and we sang along
Whatever we wanted to do
We were free and we were young, too

And you, you are my lover you are my joy
There’s nothing I’m missing, I will be your boy
Sweet rosy lips and deep brown eyes
Oh we had such a good good time

At night we lay in each others arms
Smoking cigarettes and made sweet sweet love
Just as sweet as honey can be
I will never forget how that feels

And you, you are my lover you are my joy
There’s nothing I’m missing, I will be your boy
Sweet rosy lips and deep brown eyes
Oh we had such a good good time
Track Name: What Can I Do (I Love You)
I wish I was a lotus leaf whatever raining down cannot stick on me
But if this was true I would peel off all intimacies
And there was no one who completed me
What can I do I love you

I wish I was a seashell lying on the wet sand
Waiting for the tide to flood my head
But this would mean my tears blend into salty water
And I don’t wanna die as mother nature’S daughter
What can I do I love you

Mmmm, the point of resignation leaves emotional devastation
I am who I am and I can’t slip out of my heavy skin, o no.

I wish I was a waterfall falling hundred meters down
On and on and in between a roaring sound
With persistent tenderness I was stronger than a stone
But who would ever listen to my endless moan
What can I do I love you

I wish I was a raindrop enclosing you
A place where you feel comfortable and secure
I flow in eternity unless I end up as a stain
or as a blood drop running through your veins
what can I do I love you
what can I do I love you
what can I do I love you
Track Name: The Sun
Good morning oh my beautiful
I'm so glad I wake up with you
You make the day begin so bright
All I need is to see you smile

And when I look into your eyes
I swear the whole world could be mine
'Cause what I see is all I want to be

Shiny shiny shiny shiny little sun
You are the only one that I ever need


Once I have been a single heart
That wandered wildly through the world
Now I hold you in arms
Forgot the worries that I had

I love the way that you talk
I love the way that you laugh
Just one more kiss from these
Sweetest lips

Shiny shiny shiny shiny little sun
You are the only one that I ever need
Shiny shiny shiny shiny little sun
You are the only one that I ever need
That shines just for me

(trumpet solo)


Nobody knows the games we play
These little things that we each say
The secret kisses that we share
At night when we don't care

Now I am singing you this song
And I could sing it all night long
Because it's only about you
Uuh-uh-uuh

Shiny shiny shiny shiny little sun
You are the only one that I ever need
Shiny shiny shiny shiny little sun
You are the only one that I ever need
That shines just for me (x2)
Track Name: Left Side of my Chest
Without your love I’m like a summer with no sun
You make it all shine on, You make it all shine on
Without your love I’m like a bird with no feathers
You make me fly on, You make me fly on

Now can’t you see that you mean everything to me
And it all started on the left side of my chest

Without your love I’m like a child with no mamma
You make me live
Without your love I’m like a fish with no water
You let me breathe

Now can’t you see that you mean everything to me
And it all started on the left side of my chest

And now there’s nothing more I need
Since I got you I’m so pleased, oh my love

Now can’t you see that you mean everything to me
And it all started on the left side of my chest

And now there’s nothing more I need
Since I got you I’m so pleased
I’m almost down, down on my knees, oh my love
Track Name: Jimmy
Jimmy was a young rich boy he had a room full of toys
His parents bought him everything (that) he has seen on TV
Jimmy had a lot of friends invited them to their mansion
Let them play with the playstation served cola and had movies, too

Jimmy got new blue jeans, all stone-washed instead of clean
When he grew up he began to think, rethink everything thinkable

He began to wear trashy clothes his friends they all did notice
Jimmy was freaking out, no that’s not the Jimmy we used to know
So raising a question, the meaning of his life
“Well, I’ve got to know where I’ve got to go
All’s become so weird, my friends are gone I’m all alone”
Now he’s executing passion, as passion is the cause of pain – it’s all the same

He cut his hair, gave up his job, did despise all the snobs
He lead a life of renunciation, searched for answers in meditation
Neither drugs nor fasting opened up his third eye there must be something more
Behind the nature of mind

Jimmy started wandering crossed hills and willows in times of spring
Saw the birth and death of a butterfly, detected the circulation of life

He lay down on the clay, his lips formed to a smile, he was ready to die
It’s never to late to find your own fate
See, nothing is forever so we must endeavor to die in harmony just like Jimmy
Track Name: Farewell
This is not a good-bye, it’s a farewell song
But it’s not the end for all unspoken hopes
Glare at the mirror
This glitter in the eyes
But it’s not enough just to wipe the tears off

Reel through the night searching for a place,
Left the body in the gutter with disgrace
Dejected running away begging for some sleep
Just to let it behind and look free
