01. I've Changed My Mind

I've Changed My Mind

downstairs to the valley
or upstairs to the alley
i've changed my mind twice a day

left or right or straight on
to the top or to the bottom
i've changed my mind twice a day

priests or golden helmets
roman gods or devils
i've changed my mind twice a day

i'm in a sticky situation
a total lack of concentration

sinful or pathetic
ugly or aesthetic
i've changed my mind twice a day

existence and contention
non-existence, intervention
i've changed my mind twice a day

thanks for mitigation
or ist it simulation
i've changed my mind twice a day

i'm in a sticky situation
a total lack of concentration
i'm in a sticky situation
a total lack of concentration
i'm in a sticky situation
a total lack of concentration
i'm in a sticky situation
a total lack of concentration

downstairs to the valley
or upstairs to the alley
i've changed my mind twice a day

left or right or straight on
to the top or to the bottom
i've changed my mind twice a day

i'm in a sticky situation

02. Happy

Happy

me, i'm alright
if you stay here we'll collide
i don't wanna take any freight
you think i'm gonna be happy - oh yeah
out of sight the tears may flow
and you're flying somehow low
i don't mind if you have to go
you think i'm gonna be happy - oh yeah

in my mind i feel alright
i am mean and you're polite
yeah yeah - yeah yeah

banging out to the bones
if you stay here all alone
put a cushion upon the phone
i think i'm gonna be happy - oh yeah
everyone out of sight
i am out of reach and you're untied
you might feel it`s far alright
you think i'm gonna be happy - oh yeah

in my mind i feel alright
i am mean, your so polite
yeah yeah - yeah yeah

i don't care for sorrow
if i notice that it's soon tomorrow
you know i'm somehow
gonna be happy - oh yeah
oh no - this gentle pride
keeps me singing out loud all night
i don't mind if you start to cry
i think i'm gonna be happy - oh yeah

in my mind i feel alright
i 'm not mean, you're not polite
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
yeah yeah
yeah yeah
you think i'm gonna be happy - oh no
oh silly jerk
gotta push me out of my work
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

03. You're So Impatient

You're So Impatient

see you walking to the station
with a suitcase in your hand
well i had no expectations
i just want to be your friend

you can't get enough
the pictures in your mind
twinkle as stars
we're quite different, but
i do really understand
you are so impatient

see you walking to the airplane
with a suitcase in your hand
well i had no expectations
i just want to stay your friend

erase all the bad
ideas that come up
if you start thinking
we're quite different, but
i do really understand
you are so impatient

up and coming words
have been told too much
do you remember ?
we're quite different, but
i do really understand
you are so impatient

04. Kaleidoscope

Kaleidoscope

hey hey you've gotta get away if you want me drowned
i know you've got things to say so won't you come down
please don't tell me anything you should have known
please don't ask me how i feel i don't give a damn

haven't you got some hope
looking through my kaleidoscope
haven't you got some hope
looking through my kaleidoscope

I've never known anything like that in my hole life
sometimes it's hard to understand what goes on in my eye
even if i could answer you but i wouldn't be able to do that
because there's something going wrong and i know it is bad

haven't you got some hope
looking through my kaleidoscope
haven't you got some hope
looking through my kaleidoscope

05. Guilty

Guilty

Sometimes I mention one of the stories
you told me about which isn't true at all
You always told me about my nightmares
I would walk in my sleep and cry out and raise my hands
to look for the blood
and look for the mud
I do not beleive
that I'm supposed
to to feel like a ghost
I do not beleive
what I have done
how did it come
I do not beleive

I feel guilty for that lie

I move to a farm a few miles beyond from
my little town so let me rest in peace
You always told me about my nightmares
I would walk in my sleep and cry out and raise my hands
to look for the blood
and look for the mud
I do not beleive
that I'm supposed
to to feel like a ghost
I do not beleive
what I have done
how did it come
I do not beleive

I feel guilty for that lie

07. Are Things O.K. Now?

Are Things O.K. Now?

i feel sort of awkward writing to you
cause i guess you are pissed at me, or something like that

it must have been anything I should have known
i cannot understand that, i suppose i'm alone

can't you forgive me for whatever it was
you know you could write it to me and explain what it was

all i can do is write you and hope
that you are not ripping up my letters, or are you?
all i can do is sit down and wait
that you are not setting all my letters on fire!

i feel kind of hazy talking to you
i suppose you won't talk to me, or aren't you?

it must have been something I ought to know
i just can't understand that, so leave me alone

will you forgive me for whenever i'm wrong
you know you might tell it to me or damage my song

all i can do is write you and hope
that you are not ripping up my letters, or are you?
all i can do is sit down and wait
that you are not setting my letters on fire!

could you forgive me for whatever it was
you even could write it to me and explain what it was
will you forgive me for whatever it was
you even could talk to me and explain what it was

are things ok now ?
are things ok now ?
are things ok now ?

08. Sunday Evening

Sunday Evening

sunday evening at ten past five
i moved down to the kitchen
felt some pressure in my head,
and i started out that devastation
like a rockstar in a hotel room
i did things i never thought of

not quite aware
i didn't care
lying on the stairs
crying on the stairs
bleeding on the stairs

at ten past nine the neighbours came down
askin' me to stop this
i said ok and wondered why
i should be so noisy

not quite aware
i didn't care
lying on the stairs
crying on the stairs
bleeding on the stairs

i tried to reach the upper floor
without any intention
think i never got up there
i just can't remember

not quite aware
i didn't care
lying on the floor
next to the door
bleeding on the floor

do do do..................

09. It Won't Last

It Won't Last

the meaning of a moment
perverted over years
is just a bad occasion
to shed so many tears

all the different planets
shining bright at night
are cold, deserted places
not suitable for life
not suitable for life

you know that it won't last
stop thinking of the past
won't you take a look at yourself
and you'll find out how stupid you are
you know that it won't last
stop thinking of the past
won't you take a look at yourself
and you'll find out that dawn turns to dusk

one reason to beleive that
that we are getting old
is not to find a future
for two lost, broken souls

the story is not yet finished
so listen to the end
in fact that you are married
you may understand
i'm sure you'll understand

you know that it won't last
stop thinking of the past
won't you take a look at yourself
and you'll find out how stupid you are
you know that it won't last
stop thinking of the past
won't you take a look at yourself
and you'll find out that dawn turns to dusk

10. Éteins La Lumière

Éteins La Lumière

éteins la lumiere et va-t-en
ferme la porte lentement
tu ne peux rien pourtant
pour tout ce qui se passe maintenant
ferme les yeux doucement
tu sais pourqoui
ne me demande pas

passe devant la fenetre
et ne te retourne pas
rentre chez-toi peut-etre
ne demande pas pourquoi
meme si je pouvais
t'expliquer je crois
je ne le ferais pas

et alors qu'est-ce que t'attends
pars et laisse-moi respirer
et alors qu'est-ce qu'il te prends
pars et fous-moi la paix
ne me prends pas pour un fou
ne me prends pas pour un con
j'ai simplement besoin d`etre seule

reviens si tu veux
ca me fera plaisir
et si jamais t'a faim
je ne te laisse pas mourir
si tu te remets a gueuler
je te mets a la porte
alors, ne gueule pas trop fort

passe devant la fenetre
et arrete-toi
retourne-toi peut-etre
et regarde moi
prends moi dans tes bras
avant de partir
c'est la derniere fois

et alors qu'est-ce que t'attends
pars et laisse-moi respirer
et alors qu'est-ce qu'il te prends
pars et fous-moi la paix
ne me prends pas pour un fou
ne me prends pas pour un con
j'ai simplement besoin d`etre seule

11. Mine Shaft II

Mine Shaft II

what do you mean you are leaving
stay here, I won't let you go
sure that I pretty much withdraw
sure I don't argue no more

how does it feel when you leave me
how does it feel when you're gone
how does it feel when I'm lonely
it feels like falling into a mine shaft

but I've never complained until now
I just wanted to enjoy the world
a little bit more

I put the trash out on tuesday
I feel kind of hollow inside
like one year in a nutshell
God may be watching me smile

how does it feel when you leave me
how does it feel when you're gone
how does it feel when I'm lonely
it feels like falling into a mine shaft

and I've never complained until now
but I wanted to enjoy the world
a little bit more

how does it feel when you leave me
how does it feel when you're gone
how does it feel when I'm lonely
it feels like falling into a mine shaft

12. Good Advice

Good Advice

never ever kiss any animal
never try to catch any criminal
good advice
good advice
dont't talk too loud
don't be so proud

never dig a hole in the cemetry
it could be for yourself, ironically
good advice
good advice
never take your dreams for too serious
never say anything ridicoulous
good advice
good advice

dont't talk too loud
don't be so proud
take all those good avices and
put them on your grandpa's grave,
there at least they are safe

never put your arms around a memory
never treat a man like an enemy
good advice
good advice

dont't talk too loud
don't be so proud
take all those good avices and
put them on your grandpa's grave,
there at least they are safe

never ever vote for the communists
never never walk with the socialists
good advice
good advice

14. A La Terrasse d'un Café
(Hidden Track)

A La Terrasse d'un Café(Hidden Track)

a la terasse d'un cafe
je regarde les gens passer
et je m'imagine que leurs pas
m'emmeneraient tres loin de toi
tres loin de toi
tres loin de toi

je veux m'enfuir
je ne puex pas
les autres ne me prennent pas

tu ne veux pas
que je te vois
je t'en supplie, rappele-toi

a la terasse d'un cafe
je regarde les gens passer
et je m'imagine que leurs pas
m'emmeneraient tres loin de toi
tres loin de toi
tres loin de toi

je cherche toujours autour de moi
quelque chose qui me dira
comment t'oublier et le pourquoi

a la terasse d'un cafe
je regarde les gens passer
et je m'imagine que leurs pas
m'emmeneraient tres loin de toi
tres loin de toi
tres loin de toi
