It Could Be Me
03:36
|

|
I´m just a grain of sand, on the beach by the sea
Take care when you´re walking, don´t step on me
I´m just a grain of sand
But I could turn out to be
The finest pearl the world has ever seen
It could be me
I´m just a humble worker, here in your factory
Take care when you´re bossing, do it respectfully
I´m just a humble worker
But I could turn out to be
Your new owner when I take over your factory
It could be me
It could be me
It could be me, who´s rising
It could be me, who´s surprising
It could be me
The one you never never expected to see
I´m just one in the crowd, who´s come to watch the show
Take care when you take a seat, don´t block my view
I´m just one in the crowd
But I could turn out to be
The one that they have all come to see
It could be me
It could be me
It could be me, who´s igniting
It could be me, who´s frightening
It could be me
The one you never never expected to see

Sad Song
04:03
|
|||
|
The burning pavements, stuffy railcars, we´re laughing in June
Ice cold sodas, and clear blue waters, hot afternoons
But before you know it, Summer’s over, and the Autumn looms
The rainy weekends, dark black evenings, how I miss you
Oh this season it is cold
And how I long to be with you, will you ever know
Forget all those feelings
All the ones that I thought I’d never show
For all of these things when I’m with you
They start to show
So sad, so sad, oh so sad, it’s a sad, sad song
How I’m missing you
So sad, oh so sad, it’s a sad, sad song
The crowded cafes, turned up shirt sleeves, laughing in June
Loosened ties, and your sun glassed eyes, hot afternoons
But before you know it, Summer’s over, and the Autumn looms
The sad goodbyes, her tearful eyes, how I miss you
Oh this season it is cold
And how I long to be with you, will you ever know
Forget all those feelings
All the ones that I thought I’d never show
For all of these things when I’m with you
They start to show
So sad, so sad, oh so sad, it’s a sad, sad song
How I’m missing you...

Julia Smiles
03:04
|

The routine of life gets me down
Everyday I’m getting older and older
On my face I have a frown
Won´t go away till I’m feeling happier
Julia smiles, I’m in summer
I don’t know why she’s smiling at me
She’s got my mind, she’s got my body
Everything’s alright with me
I’ve lost the road to Damascus
I’m a dinosaur who’s out of touch
Technology just confuses me
I break everything that I touch
And she smiles, Julia smiles
Right there in front of me
There she goes, she’s at it again
Why does she do this to me?
I couldn’t climb the career ladder
I fell off at the very first strut
Wanted to be a captain of industry
I set sail and I sunk my yacht
The routine of life gets me down
Everyday I´m getting older and older
On my face I had a frown
Julia smiled
And she, well she just made me feel happier

Life Today
03:11
|
|||
|
Today, and all of my days
My life, well it’s full
And I’ll tell you something what makes me say this thing
I’ve got you as my girl
You brighten up my world
You brighten up my life today
Here I am today, the same me in the same old way
Put me near to you, and my ineptness it will exude,
For my sparkling qualities
Notice the shine to my shoes
No ideas to this name in life
Put rhyme in my pocket, and for you a song I’ll arrange
It affords a most constructive waste of my day
But I can’t be blamed
No controls to this plane in life today
Today, and all of my days
My life, well it’s full
And I’ll tell you something what makes me say this thing
I’ve got you as my girl
You brighten up my world
You brighten up my life today
My life today
Today, in life today
Living our lives, today

Stranger Things
02:48
|
|||
|
Is it me you really know?
Are there things I just don´t show?
Another side of me lies here
It´s been longing to appear
Can´t you see?
There are stranger things and they are in me
I´m not content just to be
There are stranger things inside of me
I´m gonna sing it all out
Don´t ask me cause I don´t know
Why these feelings come then go
They´ve been with me all these years
Bringing hopes that turn to tears
Do you want to hear about it?
Come on and laugh about it
I´ve been writing songs since my youth
Thinking I have a talent, thinking no I haven´t
And I´ve never known the truth
There in me
Will we ever see?
I´ve sung it all out

Everything's Fine
03:30
|

|
How´s your life?
You look uneasy when I´m asking you about your life
So you tell a little lie, you tell me everything´s fine
How´s your love?
You don´t like it when I´m asking you about your love
So you carry on your lie, you´re telling me everything´s fine
Everything´s fine
The orchestra´s playing on the Titanic, everything´s fine
There´s nothing like some music, oh, to make us feel alright
Problems arise, that´s when you hide
Oh you take yourself away, close your eyes, hope it goes away
Coming from upbringing, there you never showed feeling
You just kept it all inside, never spoke about important things in life
Something´s wrong
You´re not going to tell me you´ll just put a brave face on
Continue with your lie, oh, everything´s fine
Problems are coming, well, that´s when you start running
Oh you take yourself away, close your eyes, hope it goes away
Coming from upbringing, there you never showed feeling
You just kept it all inside, never spoke about important things in life
How´s your day?
I know it’s not going well but you will never say
You´re living out a lie, and it´s called everything´s fine
So loyal to your lie, oh, everything´s fine...
How pretty are the stars tonight, oh, everything´s fine

What Can I Say
03:39
|
|||
|
It’s not the day, it’s not the day
It’s not the place where we are, it’s not the place
It’s not her face, glorious colours
It’s the things that she says, the things that she says
They hurt me, hurt me
Cut me, cut me
What can I say, in my reply?
All of my words, they run from me and they fly
What can I do? It’s funny how,
Thought I was strong, look how weak I have become
So tell me, what can I say, what can I say. What can I say
In my reply?
She hurts me, she hurts me
She cuts me, she cuts me
And her face, glorious colours
So tell me, what can I say, what can I say. What can I say,
In my reply?

Dying
04:04
|
|||
|
Take my hand, embrace me
Make me feel that I´m wanted in life today
Cause my day is dying, still it´s the morning
I feel that everything has happened for me
And I can´t see any new things coming my way
But there was a time when I was young, I was young
Full of illusion
Who´d climb the mountain? I was the one, I was the one
I had illusion
The illusion´s all gone
Feel like I´m dying while I´m living
Feel like everything´s happened for me
The illusion´s all gone
A feeling of dying but I´m still living
I can´t see any new things coming my way
The illusion´s all gone
Never say again, never say again, never

I Am a Lord's Son
04:02
|
|||
|
Baby, when we were young
I thought your love it could be won
Not to be, you could not love me
But oh how we need to find someone
I am a Lord´s son and I know who you are
Where your dreams are and where´s your star
I am a Lord´s son and I know that today
It´s going to be a special day
Baby, life for us carried on
Friends told me you found someone
Oh looking on, people who have no one
Do we ask ourselves what can be done?
Oh, how are your days?
They´re really flying
Oh, how are your days?
Better for trying
Trying to find someone
I am a Lord´s son
Oh how are your days?
They´re really flying, flying
Oh how are your days?
Better for trying
Trying to find someone
I am a Lord´son
Someone, I am a Lord´s son

And She Needs Your Touch
04:19
|
|||
|
We all need the mixture
And she needs your touch
We all paint a picture
But with a different brush
And with a different touch
And she needs all his picture
All his colours and all his flair
And she needs too his moments
Painting with care
Moments when I´m not there
Oh I can´t be there
Picture, you´ll never be complete
You need me to make your life complete
And picture, there must be room for us all
You knew me long before he entered your door
Today please remember
No matter what is coloured
You can never paint too much
She still needs your touch
She still needs your touch
And she needs your touch
Oh I hope that she does
Cause I need her so
Never can I let her go
And she needs your touch
And she needs your touch
I hope that she does

Before It's All Gone
03:49
|

There´s a house on the green
There it´s always been
Until one day I looked it was gone
I used to play with friends there when I was young
The old man next door
Everyday out walking I saw
Until one day he passed on
I never knew his name or where he was from
Watch my children play
So tiny and young
I know come the day grown up they´ll be gone
The pull of their own lives will be too strong
So I to you will vow to bring
All that is love to every single living day
Before it´s all gone
Suddenly I looked you were gone
Words hard to say
Got stuck on the tip of my tongue
Saying them can heal someone
Words can mean nothing when we´re gone
Suddenly I looked you were gone
The house on the green
The man who lived next door
Watch my children play
And the words so hard to say
Lessons to learn
Before it´s all gone

Well Again
03:40
|

|
Life today, don´t you know, it´s amazing
Ten thousand rainbows shine,
And bring warmth to where I lay
Life today, don´t you know, it´s unbelievable
Ten thousand people come
And gather where I lay
They´ve come to ask if I´m ok
Cause I need to get better
I´m trying, to get well again
In Life today, don´t you know, it´s a miracle
The one we take for granted
Every single living day
Until it´s time to take it away
Then you will cry
“I ain´t done with living”
Scream it out loud
“Can´t you make me well again?”
And I need to get better
I´m trying to get well again
And strong again
I need to get strong again
I need to find strength
I need

Just for a Moment
03:51
|
|||
|
No sound of voices
It´s quiet here
No smell of fresh cooking
The house is bare
But just for a moment
I thought I heard you say
But no, you´ve left and gone away
No footsteps near keyholes
No opening doors
No greetings, “How are you”?
Just these cold walls
But just for a moment
I thought I heard you call
But no, you left so long ago
I will break nothing´s right it´s all wrong
I will break here´s to a life on my own
But I have to believe in me
I will stop the walls tumbling down
Build a new life here on this ground
But I´m not sure I can believe in me
I´m not sure I can believe in me
The springtime so pretty
Flowers in bloom
They´re shining like the photos
Here in my room
And just for a moment
I thought I heard you say
But no, you´ve left and gone away
Memories are all I have
In life today
