On The Move
04:22

I heard me saying that I like to take it cool
But not too deep down I really know the rules
On the move, and that's ok boy
Well it’s just that I’m
having trouble just to wait for it
I’m told I’m saying I really am a fool
But what I meant to say was : I still ain’t outta school
On the move and that’s ok boy
Well it’s just that I’m
having trouble just to wait for it
Lighten’ it up and start a fire and a
Let it go
I don’t want to speed it up and not
Spoil it, over boil it, or annoy it, oh no no.
I really have the feeling that somehow I have improved
That I have learned to know the golden rule
On the move, it’s ok boy
Well it’s just that I’m
having trouble just to wait for it
I really am at ease when I take it as it comes
When I finally manage just to ride along
On the move and that’s ok boy

Map For A New Day
03:01
|
|||
|
As I look into the light of a new day
with my thoughts still so much astray
when I’m trying to make some sense
of all the things I think need doing
Mapping out a new day
I try to line it up
to figure out what is brewing
A few plans here and there
don't push it too much
Better follow it's mysterious ways
I try to map out the ways of a new day
As I bathe myself in this new born cycle
as I try to enter in it’s flow
It ain’t always easy to go along
if I want to go the opposite way
Mapping out the ways of a new day (2x)
SOLOS
There is no other understanding
of a new day's map than this
Keep your eyes wide open
the path to follow comes straight from your heart
you can't miss
Mapping out the ways of a new day (2x)
As I look into the light of a new day
with my thoughts still so much astray
when I’m trying to make some sense
of all the things I think need doing
Mapping out a new day
What i need to be doing
Mapping out a new day
Of all the things i think need doing
Mapping out a new day

Up In Smoke
03:55
|
|||
|
We are here playing
and all is going well
The band is sounding great
things are groovin' you can tell
Then Maria's call is heard
she's attracting so strong
time out for connecting
a little break you know
Oh Maria won't you hold the line
don't let it go
Up in smoke (it goes) On a cloud they go
Why don't you tell me something
while you're here with me
So you've got to get lost to
find creativity
I understand you don't need to connect
with anything around
Hey this is the planet where we act
where we hang around
Hey King of connections (up there in smoke)
don't let it go
Up in smoke (it goes) On a cloud they go
You understand it all (you think)
in a better way
You open up while you closed the gates
and now you can't find the key
Why don't you come back down to planet earth
i've heard it's great
Hey brother if you're cutting off
i say: you turtle you
Come on and let's stick together
get off your cloud don't let it go
Up in smoke (it goes) On a cloud they go

All Day & Night
04:01
|
|||
|
It was yesterday at night
just when i came home
it invaded me all right
way down to my bones
Something really special
It really shook me down from my tree
I just felt really happy
it got me in it's hold all right
i really 've got to work on it
to feel like this
all day and night
Don't you come think sometimes
how we've created a world
That seems to go backwards
ain't that absurd
It's is a sad sad happening (out of bounds)
But it's worth it just to take part
Chorus
In the not so early morning
when i wake up
i have my bowl of fruits
and the sun is up
Life is nice and easy
and everything seems all right
I just feel really happy
it got me in it's hold all right
i really 've got to work on it
(2x)
to feel like this
all day and night

I Don't Care
03:33
|
|||
|
I don’t care what the people say
I don’t care what the people think.
i’m wrong that’s the truth
I don’t look when i cross the street
don’t care about the cars
i am lying, that’s the truth
all these things often show up in a straight line to confuse
so you brew some intuition and you’ve got to let it loose
góodbye iquisition it’s me who’s gonna choose
i don’t lie to choose
I am lying but want to tell the truth
and the truth is always wrong
what a mess i’m getting in
If i tell you that i love
do you think that i’m a drool
who is lying, but speaks the truth
what i’m feeling ‘n where i go is strange and still the same
If there’s only one choice looming and i still cannot decide
still it’s me who gets the choice to do it right
Out gone fishing in a rowboat on a lake
caught some big ones
am i lying, what’s the truth
I say: Roll ‘em, smoke ‘em fellows
put another line out, yeah
am i trying to tell the truth
Fifteen captans in a rowboat are trying to steer me wrong
Which part of me i’ll put to use
for trying to get them all along
i won’t lie for fools

It blew my mind reading in the papers,
tell me again, what’s that you say?
Is it really true and thoughtful,
your homing device led you astray
How is it the one that is ashamed
never even played,
help me drive the evil out of town.
Political value seems more important
than simply just doing what is right
How on earth can one imagine
that you really think you’re outta sight
Should you want to stick around
and bring your own country down
help me drive the devil out of town
Has anybody ever told you
that shame is a feeling that exists
That when you’re gone and it’s good riddance
you hardly will be missed
Should you ever want to think back
and wonder how we’re feeling:
we’re glad we drove the devil out of town

Get Down You Crazy Child
04:44
|

You said it's tough
you needed a break
now you're never late
A whole lot of money
and you just don't care
learn the lesson take me there
You're gonna turn down
head on
You're wanna back out
you're all alone
Get down you crazy child
All that's tough
you know it's all fake
Now you're never late
You're hanging out
you're going down slow
what you need to know
You're gonna burn out
straight on
you want the lights out
crash on
Get down you crazy child
Get down and moan
Get down you crazy child
Get down be wild and moan
Surf out my lady child
grab them skin and bones
Get down you crazy child
get down and moan
Get down you crazy child
get down and moan
Be wild....
Time's out
my lady child
time runs on foam
Back off
you crazy child
save your skin and bone
Get down
be wild and moan
Surf out my lady child
grab them skin and bones
Get down
you crazy child
get down and moan
Get down
you crazy child
get down be wild and moan
Get down
you crazy child
Get down
you crazy child
Get down

You're My Partner
02:51
|
|||
|
When I get overheated, baby I cool down
When you say I’m an asshole, I really am a clown
When you say I ignore you, I feel you all around
When you really need me near you, I am outta town
You’re my partner and baby gladly I am yours
You tell me that you miss me and then I play the fool
You tell me that you want me and so I start to drool
You tell me that you like me and I feel so renewed
You tell you want a job done and I cannot find the tools
You’re my partner and baby gladly I am yours
You look at me with eyes that mightily speak out loud
You are feeling lousy, worthless , and even down and out
Your anger is growing bigger and wildly goes astray
‘cause I wanted to leave when you wanted me to stay
You’re my partner and baby gladly I am yours
My voice is soft and flowery when I call out your name
Could you make me dinner if to you it were the same
But that provokes me feelings that somehow I am to blame
To have sent you to the kitchen one more time again
You’re my partner and baby gladly I am yours

Snowstorm
03:54
|

|
We're caught in a traffic jam
in the middle of a snowstorm
There's only one hope here
that will get us along
Politicians are no good
i thought i knew
But when i met sister Rosa
she was just so true
You can't go wrong
with sister Rosa in a snowstorm
You know she's an artist
and what she does is right
An honest loving person
to hold on to tight
It makes you star to wonder
why like her there are so few
With more like sister Rosa
we wouldn't be so blue
Chorus
The people really love her
and she is always there
A common sense and poet-like person
with a lot of healthy flair
Now one thing is for sure friend
excited my heart beats
with knowing sister Rosa
out there in the streets

Put On A smile
03:11
|

|
In the big city just wanna run away
people flying it ain't no fun
So you might think that we're all cheating
it's not the city it's in us people
Go on flying please don't run
run run run away
Honking horns shouting out loud
let's (all) be dreamers let's twist and shout
Traffic jams we're going nowhere
(let's) put on a smile come on let's care
Put on a smile please don't run
run run run away
It's not hte city it's just us
contaminating the ambience in which we trust
All our purple faces won't put things straight
if we won't bite the bait
Let's change some things
and try to do it right
Old people on the streets are going slow
Whose annoyed here what does it show
Enter first in the cue won't get you nowhere
If you pinch a tyre you go for the spare
Chorus
Driving around there's nowhere to park
for the one free spot we circle around like sharks
What about a smile relaxing your day
What a bout a smile showing us the way
Chorus

Shakin' Us Down
07:01
|
|||
|
Load up your flatbed your gonna leave tonight
There’s just too much interests here we want you out of sight.
Ah yeah just a detail here when you pay we do protect
Now your whole world just came tumbling down
when they came to shake you down
And you wonder if you have to be
the clown that has to pay
Why can't you be just left in peace
and mind your own troubles
says who that that is wrong
All the details of the money you that make ain't no secret at all
They knew how much you owe the bank they know where your kids go to school
Ah just a little detail here, they say, why don't you keep it cool
You know we're actually on your side now don't you be a fool.
And you wonder if you have to be
the clown that has to pay
Why can't you be just left in peace
and mind your own troubles
says who that that can't be right.
Next day when you wake up you find that your business has been destroyed
It seems that who is wrong violently thinks he's right
And you sit down in between what's left of your dreams
What a way to make some dough, don't they see it's so obscene
They shook you down they tore you up they are stepping on your face
They said it's you but really it is them who lost the trace.

When I asked the wise man
who I saw sitting at the side of the road
Would you be so kind to help me
could you tell me where to go
Will there be struggle
will I be fine
There is a long road waiting for you,
he said, but don’t you worry
You’ve got a ride (…x)
Trying again to find some answers
someone read the palm of my hand
What I got was the confirmation
of what I already felt
Lots of wandering
a bit of the truth
She said, but don’t you worry, oh don’t you know
You’ve got a ride (….x)
Some cold mornings when I wake up
worries are what’s in my mind
My head feels heavy and my spirit’s low
I feel I’m running out of time
Then I think back
to what i’ve been told
There’s a long road waiting for me
but I shouldn.t worry, ‘cause
I’ve got a ride (…x)

Tiptoeing
03:49
|

|
Drivin’ on the freeway mindin’ my own affairs
I ain’t in no hurry to get anywhere
Up in the distance, now is that a blue light
Another police control at 4 at night
And there they’re standing at the side of the road
I blank my mind out, try to ignore
He moved his hand, I’m not sure what he means
Just scratching his nose: it ain’t what it seems
They make me feel like tiptoeing the line
They make me feel like committing a crime
Going downtown to have a drink with some friends
Can’t find where to park my car again
Hey over there is a spot where it will fit in
the towaway guy looks at me and he grins
a uniform is already heading my way
Now would this be the right place to stay
They’re waiting for me they’re wanna tow me away
They’re gonna give me a fine that I don’t want to pay
Chorus
Tonight here I am playing music on a stage
The joint is jumping, we’re all in a daze
The crowd started singing and cheered for more
It couldn’t be any better, that is for sure
Then the door opened guess who’s comin’ in
Uniformed trouble to stop it again
They make their stand I’m not sure why that is
We’re not allowed to play on so I think I’ll just get pissed

Playing For Keeps
03:47
|
|||
|
I was raised and pampered
in a good old fashioned modern way
I was taught the rules of how we ought to play
If you stop and think about it
it's nothing really new
But somehow we forgot
this frase so really true
Shouldn't we play for keeps
did we forget
Playing for keeps means no regrets
Looking around these days
the world about us has gone wild
Nobody seems to care now
we all seem to have gone blind
Shouldn't we care for where we're living
it's our home we're blowing up
We're running on the wrong faith
we can't rely on our good luck
Chorus
We're betting on the wrong horse
we're playing it wild
Have we gone out of our minds
we're heading for the darkest night
Foolishly we push and shove
we're aiming way too high
Doesn't anybody see
we're running out of time
Chorus
Hey you guys that govern
the ones that (should) really care
None of you speak out
very few of you seem to dare
The numbers rule and money
rolls in in huge amounts
Well it's what have to eat and breathe
when nothing's left around

Good Luck
03:22

Sitting on the couch watching the tele light
the blue eye is boring me all right.
The news comes on and i wonder bout our fate
Politic Ian 's on and about to put things straight
And my head starts spinning
i don't wanna cry
But i'm getting sick again
of dear old Ian's lies
We need good luck baby,
need so much good luck.
Ian is now raving 'bout the law being on his side
he's gonna save the world and thinks he's outta sight
So i started wondering if it really is too late
to stop him in his tracks before he harvest's hate
Oh yes we could do with a change now
some fresh air and honesty is what we need
And my head starts spinning
'cause it's all a lie
All these crossing interests
of Ian and his kind.
