You Never Have Any Self Doubts Do You
You never have any self doubts do you
no you made it all clear – it's not what I wanna hear.
You never have any self doubts do you
your way is always straight – nothing that we could debate.
I wonder what makes you feel so self-assured.
It is pathological and it can't be cured.
The Light so bright it shines for you.
You never have any worries do you
your days are all carefree – I'm sure that you would agree.
In your kingdom of self concern
you will reign til all is burned.
You never have any ambitions do you
you think you're without a flaw – the paradox of bourgeois
I wonder what makes you feel so self-assured.
It is pathological and it can't be cured.
The Light so bright it shines for you.
In your kingdom of self concern
you will reign til all is burned.
you never have any setbacks do you
the best is always ahead – a proscription of feeling sad.

Let's Write The Book Of Love
Let's write the book of love
well you know how it goes
it starts all bright and clear
a candle and a rose
let's walk along the path
a moonlit sky above
a moment we can share
let's write the book of love.
let's walk along the path
a moonlit sky above
a moment we can share
let's write the book of love.
Let's write the book of love
the one with (an) open end
we sure will be the stars
whatever we have penned.
We'll write it as we go
bout times we're dreaming of
the good ones and the bad
let's write the book of love
Let's write the book of love
nothing is too trite
don't worry about reviews
or pages that are white.
let's walk along the path
a moonlit sky above
a moment we can share
let's write the book of love.

Lift Me Up To Your Eye Level
Pictures at an exhibition
photos in grainy black and white
skillfullness of transposition
long walk on a rainy night.
Come on lift me up to your eye level...
Preparing a five course dinner
for a party that never ends
dieting to get you thinner
4000 Facebook friends...
Come on lift me up to your eye level...
Training for that extra power
planing the next city trip
reciting the words of Schopenhauer
listening to music that's really hip.
Come on lift me up to your eye level...

Love is just far away today
I just found this box of photographs
some made me quiver and some made me laugh
some memories have faded away
and some still linger to this very day.
All the friends that I've lost on the way
some make a living and some may be dead
memories are so diverse
and sometimes looking back can be curse.
And I don't need to worry
things are just fine
as long as I am safe today.
And I don't want to hurry
into the line
love is just far away
all the faces – names I recall
I'm in a free fall
into endless days of summer - of summer and ease
So get rid of all the memories
they lead to nothing would you pardon me please
I will keep the past in this box
keep it secure like it is stored in Fort Knox.
And I don't need to worry
things are just fine
as long as I am safe today.
And I don't want to hurry
into the line
love is just far away
love is just far away
so let's live for today
love is just far away

Sappy Together

Sappy together
So cruel
not cool
if you wanted to stress that you are out of my league
cause you wrote the book „One thousand ways to intrique“
Not fair
too square
I might be naive but I sure can foresee
that there is a way to get this to you-and-me
there is a chance that we can make this happen
and I wouldn't mind if it happens today
if you wouldn't mind I would love you forever
and then we might be so sappy together..
I swoon
too soon
I still can remember the day we first met
it's carved in my heart so how could I forget
so bright
the light
shine like a supernova in my universe
if you let me wriggle could not get any worse
Conform
so warm
I still just don't get how I could live without
my life will be better without any doubt...
there is a chance that we can make this happen
and I wouldn't mind if it happens today
if you wouldn't mind I would love you forever
and then we might be so sappy together..

You Got It All Wrong
Hi misery,
where have you been so long
between you and me
you got it all wrong.
Not willing to part
cause I'm really not that strong
You aim for the heart
you got it all wrong.
It's true that I missed you
I like the cosy feel of despair.
This time I want you to stay forever
this time I want it to last.
So will you make a promise
I think that this is just fair.
Stay Down Here Where You Belong
you got it all wrong.
All things must pass
so where do I belong
this does not have class
you got it all wrong.
You got it all wrong

At least your bird can sing
I know you love the summer season, like a
migrant bird that returns from the south
I'll warn ya' it is still spring
at least your bird can sing...
You know you will not change the weather, you can
try real hard it won't make any change
but you can spread your wing
at least our bird can sing...
We know that we'll be back together, tho we
been apart for way too long
it's so cool when you do your thing
at least your bird can sing...
so let's do our thing
oh you know what I mean
don't be prudish and don't shy away
I like to sing the whole day
so please sing along
oh you know how it goes
and I know you sing like a bird...
Who knows if we can get the rhythmn, or if we
fool around like two stoned ducks
it's so cool when we do our thing
at least your bird can sing...

She left without saying good bye
All were asleep when she was leaving
caught in their dreams of better days
but her hope was shattered
nothing left that mattered
she felt like lost in a maze
Gone the warmth
she used to feel in their arms
but she didn't want to see them cry
so she left without saying good bye.
When they awoke they didn't notice
she left her home without a word
they forgot to kiss her
will they even miss her
their dear ones flown – free as a bird.
Gone the warmth
she used to feel in their arms
but she didn't want to see them cry
so she left without saying good bye.

Like in a song by Nichols & Williams
Cmaj7 hm7 am7 em/9 am7/9
G hm7 Cmaj7 Dsus4/7
I've heard that you stroll down memory lane
kinda funny cause over here it's just the same
am9 em9
all the places that we have been to
am9 Fmaj7/9sus4
all the people that we will never run into
Dsus4/7
again
Cmaj7 hm7 am7
Let's drift into a new sunset
em/9 am7/9
like in a song by Nichols & Williams...
Sometimes it's just soothing to delve into the past
cause we all know it's just the good things that will not last.
it's not farfetched to call this amusing
but I'm trembling to all that lyrics and music
again
Let's drift into a new sunset
like in a song by Nichols & Williams...
If you still complain that your life is too short
seems like you just can not share these tender feelings I got
Let's drift into a new sunset
like in a song by Nichols & Williams...

Where Have I Gone Wrong
Tell it to me straight
where have I gone wrong
I can bear the truth
even if your list will turn out very long
don't be shy you'll be in this song
where have I gone wrong?
What's it gonna be
was it all my fault
is that what you say
sure there will be tears
as we go along
but together we will be strong
so where have I gone wrong?
I'm sorry I screwed this up
this is not what it was meant to be
this is really unpleasant to me
you are rightly upset so let's have
a glass of champagne and a toast...
Tell it to me straight
when have you gone mad
I can bear the truth
even if your list will turn out very bad
don't be shy you'll be in this song
where have I gone wrong?
where have I gone wrong?

Sorry but you are last on the list
I hear what you say
it's been a horrible day
and it's true you're right on time
don't worry there's been nothing you have missed
so sorry but you are last on the list
ooooohhh sorry but you're last on the list
ooooohhh sorry but you're last on the list
I know it's not cool
some say it's rather cruel
but there is no rule to the game
I understand that you are really pissed
so sorry but you are last on the list
You really have no choice
it's either girls or boys
so you can still choose which side you're on
so is it he or she
or is it misery
or is it him or his
you can still take a piss
I hear what you say
it's been a horrible day
and it's true you're right on time
makes no sense at all to shout or clench your fist
so sorry but you are last on the list

The Least you could do

I wouldn't be surprised.

You are a terrible loser
Dj7 D A/C# Gj7
but you can not get away with that
H7
this time.
I'm not a saint
but I 'll hold you when you faint.
I know It's an act.
And I guess you will retract.
We all know it's just a role you play
we've had it all before.
You are a terrible loser
but you can not get away with that
this time.

Don't get me wrong
I don't have to write this song
but It's a way that I can cope
before losing all my hope.
I don't know how we'll work this out
but at least we can try.
You are a terrible loser
but you can not get away with that
this time.
