........the times you run again we're using just guns Can you tell me something brother why not throw them away Wants up, goes down Why not take us up there instead of bringing us down ....... the times will stop before you gather your flock now won't you tell me something tell me how blind can we be ........ we're all the same don't you know we all want the same things Brother tell me something how 'bout peace, love and understanding ........ do you like your games do you think that you're a wise man I'd like you to tell me something do you really need to be below us

For your ways of working these ain't the right times So you're feeling big but you never even look back So you need a big change maybe become yourself again All your evil deeds have left us all burned out The times are a changing Aquarius is rising Do you really think we don't know what you're hiding You think you got a future you see it all straight and now it's a habit your sidestepping in the shadow You're sitting it out in your ivory tower and you're wondering why everybody's thinks you're telling lies But the times are a changing Aquarius is rising Do you really think we don't know what you're hiding But the times are a changing Aquarius is rising Do you really think we don't know which way it is you're riding You start crying and you start to lie again it won't get us fooled this time You're still hanging on trying to look strong on the lookout for an advantage It's easy to see through it ain't nothing new It's the way you people behave You're like a cat in a dream and treason's the scheme The way you people behave it's a crying shame It's the age of Aquarius coming along It's the age of Aquarius coming along.......

And you're leaving after all 'cause they got you wasted If you have to pay the toll so that you can avoid it You just believe in something else need something real you're gonna take a walk Some try to blame you for it for their own misfortune See them turning grey and ignore all the warnings You just believe in something else something bigger and better and you're gonna take a walk Now that you're walking you won't want to slow down And you hear them talking hear those voices all around You feel you're flying and you have gotten rid of the lying throw your head back and let your heart feel the truth You called the bluff in a sense, now it's you, you're up for bats You want to give and you want to try to do it all on the strength of love And you don't mind giving more than you ever expect back You're on your track No looking back….

I was kind of bored and my girl was on my back She wanted to go out just to go somewhere and back The car had broken down and the bicycle got flats Wouldn't mind to carry her but i got pain in my back Said: lets go to the bus stop with a basket full of food And some other funny stuff that will make you feel good That's right we're going out to the countryside She kissed me on the lips and said Oh honey you're the best thing any girl could wish She wanted to make love to me, i said that ain't right babe if we do we won't picnic till tonight Why stay at home When we can have a picnic in the country for a day Why stay at home When we can have a picnic in the country for a day At last we found a nice place somewhere out of town It took us just 3 hours of riding buses 'round We walked for an hour but we really didn't care We was on a picnic was gonna do it with some flare We put our basket down and sat under a tree Then she told me that she loved no one else but me That's right we're going out to the countryside I kissed her on the lips and said oh honey you're the best thing any man could wish I wanted to make love to her and she said: oh no honey if we do we won't picnic till tonight Why stay at home When we can have a picnic in the country for a day Why stay at home When we can have a picnic in the country for a day Why stay at home When we can have a picnic in the country for a day Why stay at home When we can have a picnic in the country for a day Dark clouds suddenly showed up i saw the raindrops falling in our cups Lightning was striking all around i was saying to myself, oh well A tipical day out in the countryside It kept on raining all through the night till the green river was fifty miles wide So we sat in our basket with spoons in our hand and rowed the thing back home across the flooded land Well if i learned a lesson this is what it will say: Always take a boat with you out in the country for a day Why stay at home when we could be out in the country today Why stay at home when we should be out in the country today Why stay at home when we could be out in the country today Why stay at home when we should be out in the country today Why stay at home The country's full of ants today Why stay at home It's raining again in the country today Why stay at home I lost my wallet in the country today Why stay at home I sat on my glasses in the country today Why stay at home I spilled the wine in the country today Why stay at home I lost my keys in the country today

Don't you know there's a story to tell is there just another break in the spell Can you see there's a man or woman outside need to change places not hide And you keep on wondering more and they keep on moving so slow Try to defend themselves from coming down from the shelf Let them step into the light so they can see their future bright 'cause it's all they need to do Have you found the struggle inside when it's all that comes in from the other side did you feel like opening your eyes and feel integration in life Have you shivered too much when you got very close and could touch Were you trembling too strong for all of the fears it might gowrong Let them step into the light so they can see their future bright 'cause it's all they need to do All they need to do All they need to do All they need to do Did your teeth rattle coming in from the cold did you feel the warmth from the stone Have you seen the sun rising up did you get to drink from the cup And you're part of a story to tell all of the things that you felt And you're in for a brand new day and you'll be riding away Let them step into the light so they can see their future bright 'cause it's all they need to do Let them step into the light so they can see their future bright 'cause it's all they need to do All they need to do All they need to do All they need to do….

It's maybe just somewhere i am i don't know it yet i'll be back again I'm at ease but i know there's a danger Although all is new i am no stranger I now i'm protected there is no doubt I'm feelin sure i stand my ground And i stood up i wasn't afraid i set out to defy it And i stood out i put it straight i shouted at it and defied it So strong my strength so solid my faith What could ever hurt me while i was in place So strong my strength so solid my fait What could ever hurt me i defied my demons with faith When i came back slowly as i usually do The feeling of strength had also come through I didn't really know what it was that it meant But i knew for sure i had advanced There was a shape hanging over me What was that resence what's it meant to be And i stood out i wasn't afraid i shouted at it and defied it So strong my strength so solid my faith What could ever hurt me while i was in place So strong my strength so solid my fait What could ever hurt me i defied my demons with faith These wonderful and mighty trips Are a great delight i'd rather not miss I might deal with troubles fights and wars But i usually wake up with the feeling i found the shore And i stood up i wasn't afraid i set out to defy it And i stood up i put it straight i shouted at it and defied it So strong my strength so solid my faith What could ever hurt me while i was in place So strong my strength so solid my faith What could ever hurt me i defied my demons with faith

In your eyes i see what there is for me no clouds and the deepest silent longing just peace In your eyes it's the spark keeps away the dark and you let me in that's only where it all begins In your arms there is conselation in your arms i can be waiting for your arms to reach out for me for your charms to dedicate their meaning You make love such a beautiful thing precious! You make love such a sweet experience You make love a timeless thing You and love make it all begin In your arms i sleep so deeply in your arms i awake to feel you in your arms i can't wait for dawn to wake you up again In your presence i am dreaming in your presence it all has so much meaning How i want to see you feel you, hold you, touch you again and again (...x) You make love such a beautiful thing precious! You make love such a sweet experience You make love such a beautiful thing precious You make love such a sweet experience You make love a timeless thing You and love make it all begin You make love such a timeless thing You and love make it all begin I got the feeling for you now I've got the feeling for you somehow You're all i need you're all i'm looking for Everything i've done led me to you baby You make love such a beautiful thing (….x)

Silence is golden blind-crossing lines You're into big things and want to know what it's got behind now that you can touch the line Shouting it out now time has no shame you feel like it's broadening out and save you from any blame save you, there is no blame Right off the bat the light is taking over no tension, the sought after gold Right of the bat you start feeling sober no tension, the sought after gold Silence is golden it's deepening out Silence is golden and you can tell it's alright you can tell all the time Right off the bat the light is taking over no tension, the sought after gold Right of the bat you start feeling sober no tension, the sought after gold When you're seeking out the weight of the words sticking out your head just to see what it's worth just to see what it's worth just to see

Once you told me that you loved me those days you seemed to care But now you don't want to see me it's as if i'm not even there When things were going perfect i thought you were the one But since you're just insulting i can see that i was wrong I'll close up Farrel-Smith, i'm out I've had more than enough i just cannot handle it I really ain't that tough I'll close up Farrel-Smith, i'm out oh yes she likes to play it rough When i got to close to her we lost our touch Those days of turtle doving have since long gone by and i was left just wondering if there was a reason why I thought that you were good for me but mum said you were wrong But deep down you still are wonderful although you've done me wrong I'll close up Farrel-Smith, i'm out I've had more than enough i just cannot handle it I really ain't that tough I'll close up Farrel-Smith, i'm out oh yes she likes to play it rough When i got to close to her we lost our touch When I look into your eyes these days I can't get what I see You've hidden it from sight for good And that's the way it's gonna be On paper it looked good to me but in reality no way that i can be putting up with you oh how our love has gone astray I'll close up Farrel-Smith, i'm out I've had more than enough i just cannot handle it I really ain't that tough I'll close up Farrel-Smith, i'm out oh yes she likes to play it rough When i got to close to her We lost our touch We lost our touch We lost our touch We lost our touch

I'm gonna ride on my pony in the middle of the night I'm gonna let the stars guide me to get me to my bride 'cause i ain't no fool, ain't gonna loose that girl I'm gonna bring her a nice present i'm gonna drown her in my love i've got a ring to put on her finger after she takes off her gloves 'cause i ain't no fool, ain't gonna loose that girl The first time i saw her, she set my my heart on fire The second time around, i wallowed in the mire The third time wanted to marry her. At least i had to try Now i'm riding on my pony in the darkest, weirdest night It seems that i've got lost no town or ranch in sight Let's hope i'll find my way back to get me to my bride Let's hope i'll find my way back to get me to my bride Let's hope i'll find my way back to get me to my bride Let's hope i'll find my way back oh that girl she is so nice Let's hope i'll find my way back with her the time just flies I ain't no fool The girl she is so nice she is so nice I might even think to take her to Holiday on Ice Might even kiss her and drown her in sweet lies Sweet lies Sweet sweet lies Sweet lies Sweet sweet lies Sweet lies Lies, lies, lies

Lately 05:28
Come on come on come on just give it up We give you safety if you give up your freedom Come and buy it now they're here to give you hope Don't be afraid, try it now Let them decide, don't you know they know what is good for you my friend They want to have it all all the gold in the world and they never have enough Don't you realize They're after our freedom Want to turn us into slaves Oh they've got plans for us just obey and bleed just obey and bleed Get down On your humble knees On your humble knees Come on come on come on just give it up We give you safety if you give up your freedom They know what's right for us, they can see it all Come and bow your head they don't need you to stand tall They got the civil force outside to take you for a ride it makes me wanna cry It's getting way too bad I feel like moving 'cross the border Feel like moving 'cross the border It's so frightening knowing who decide Frightening Lately I have doubts Lately I just wanna cry Who is ruling here is there anyone who's got a heart raise your hand my friend duck down Dragging us to where the future 's dark and cold You'd better be prepaired it's judgement day Lately I have doubts Lately I feel sad Too many doubts Lately I have doubts Doubts, doubts, doubts, doubts Lately I feel sad Doubts, doubts, doubts, doubts Lately I feel sad Lately I have doubts…...

Under Siege 03:41
Yesterday she told me it couldn't get no better and today it seems i'd better run 'Cause i know she's got your knives out and it's only just begun Why can't she tell just what's happened and where the mood swing did come from Judging from the looks of it when the knives are done she's gonna get a gun Under siege by a guerrilla that happens to be my wife When she carries on like this the price to pay is way too high Rainy days are coming and a storm is raging on When she gets into this mood i might as well be gone Just two hours ago we still were making love and right now it's allgone down the drain She might take me away at gunpoint and it's likely i'll be thrown under a train So what's it gonna be when she's ran out of bullets The guy that sold the cannon is gonna get the blame Don't tell me that she's thinking even bigger are we i in for some serious red rain? Under siege by a guerrilla that happens to be my wife When she carries on like this the price to pay is way too high Rainy days are coming and a storm is raging on When she gets into this mood i might as well be gone Under siege by a guerrilla that happens to be my wife When she carries on like this the price to pay is way too high Rainy days are coming and a storm is raging on When she gets into this mood i might as well be gone But still I don't want to give up maybe keep on trying I hope to find the words that once sounded like bad lies I ain't gonna give up maybe i'll keep on trying Oh yes i'll tryI'll try, i'll try, ...

Last night me and some friends had a barbeque party that just didn't end At one in the morning we took the instruments out we started jamming inspired and loud Next day from my dear neighbours not one complaint but let's see what happens when you always get up late You Wake Up with cars, cries and drills in your forehead You Wake Up with cars, cries and drills in your forehead Now that's right and let me tell you exactly when i woke up another dreaded morning For eight hours of sleep five at least were still missing when a neighbour woke me up cutting iron while he was singing A backhoe backed up beeping into my street the radio's turned up loud i just wanna go back to sleep here You Wake Up with cars, cries and drills in your forehead You Wake Up with cars, cries and drills in your forehead You Wake Up with cars, cries and drills in your forehead You Wake Up with cars, cries and drills in your forehead When i finally had managed to close my eyes and had found again those sweet angelic voices that lightened up my dreams and keep out unwanted noises The bedroom door flew open and my wife rushed in she said oh dear i'm sorry yes i know it's a sin

You're taking time to understand what your love is all about She said she ain't gonna fool you no more but she's building up a cloud Rain falls on your head each day but the hair you lost won't grow back again You can't pull out the umbrella you got 'cause the winds are way too strong She'll give you hard times again until you want to run away She'll blow your fuse She's planted a bomb and Time is ticking away time is ticking away There was no time to see through all the bad things had been done And now you feel secure and maybe just a bit too strong Boy, the shelter she'll provide is nothing but a golden cage Once she's got you trapped in there gone have them good old days She'll give you hard times again until you want to run away She'll blow your fuse She's planted a bomb and Time is ticking away and Time is ticking away Time is ticking away Ttime is ticking away Ttime is ticking away Ttime is ticking away What's the tweaking that you hear all day It's the birds nesting in your head Maybe you will run away But she just tied you to the bed You're taking time to understand what your love is all about She said she ain't gonna fool you no more but she's building up a cloud She'll give you hard times again until you want to run away She'll blow your fuse She's planted a bomb Time is ticking away Time is ticking away And time is ticking.... away, away, away,.....

Looking at the screen of my laptop while my eyes are starting to burn I just can't turn it of just now there is so much more to learn So much more that i would want to do It seems that i'm never gonna stop But i swear i'm gonna turn it off to spend some time with you It's not that i don't want to see you Just right now can't find the time It's not that i don't want to see you Just right now can't find the time Can't find the time Working in the garden there is so much weed to weed I really like to finish my job but i am lacking the speed So much more that really needs doing I won't be able now to stop But i swear i'm gonna leave it for now to spend some time with you It's not that i don't like to see you Just right now can't find the time Can't fin the time, can't find the time ..... Sitting on the terrace writing and composing Inspiration flowing strong I'll be coming in soon honey now i'm sure it won't take long So many things come spring to mind How am i ever gonna stop I really have to make an effort to be able to give it up It's not that i don't like to see you Just right now can't find the time Can't find the time, can't find the time It's not that i don't like to see you Just right now can't find the time Can't find the time
