Hungry Soul (live)
03:46

In the last days of summer
When the winds are closing in
When the falling rain is drumming
Onto where I hide within
Still got a hungry soul
Still got a hungry soul
Still got a hungry soul
Still got a hungry soul
When the trains are almost leaving
And the whistle starts to blow
And the kisses we’re receiving
And the wishes that we throw
Still got a hungry soul
Still got a hungry soul
Still got a hungry soul
Still got a hungry soul
Hold your hand and feel it beating
Is it really time to go
Who says summer must be leaving
When you got a hungry soul
Still got a hungry soul
Still got a hungry soul
Still got a hungry soul
Still got a hungry soul

Did you wake up from a dream
In this lonely lonesome night
Did you come home from a scheme
That was never in your mind
Did you lost what you once found
Somewhere down along the way
Did it end where it began
Four wheel spaceship
Ready for the next trip
Up into the orbit
To where our hearts fit
Four wheel spaceship
Do you tremble from the cold
That you found somewhere outside
Does you soul once clean and bold
Hide behind a robot mind
Does your heart once hard at pound
Flutter faint and bitterly
And does it have to be like this
Four wheel spaceship
Ready for the next trip
Up into the orbit
To where our hearts fit
Four wheel spaceship
Reaching high above our heads
Landing deep down in our souls
Finding home in foreign lands
Four wheel spaceship
Ready for the next trip
Up into the orbit
To where our hearts fit
Four wheel spaceship

Cannot Live (live)
03:37
|
|||
|
Can a smile turn darkness into light
And a little while separate the wrong from right
Can the only thing that counts be today
And can a wall slowly turn into a way
I cannot live without you anymore
There is no life without you
I cannot live without you anymore
There is no life without you
Can a friend become more than you'd expect
And a drop of time have such a great impact
And can the blues suddenly turn into soul
And can a diamond be made out of coal
I cannot live without you anymore
There is no life without you
I cannot live without you anymore
There is no life without you
Can a word become a melody
Like every water that runs into the sea
Can every you be just for me
And can this prison finally set me free
I cannot live without you anymore
There is no life without you
I cannot live without you anymore
There is no life without you

Carry On (live)
05:00
|

|
I see fires burning
I see creatures dying
Hear them crying, hear them crying
I see smoke rising in the air
Suffocating, understating
Understating
Carry on sweet chariot
Over the heather
To the sea
Carry on sweet chariot
There’s a place
For you and for me
I see the flood coming near
See the fear, the fear, all the fear
I hear them drowning in the water
The water, the shroud
Carry on sweet chariot
Over the heather
To the sea
Carry on sweet chariot
There’s a place
For you and for me
I see the bombs multiplying
Supersonic, ironic, ironic
See them high up in the air
Coming down, coming closer, closer
Carry on sweet chariot
Over the heather
To the sea
Carry on sweet chariot
There’s a place
For you and for me
Carry on sweet chariot
Over the heather
To the sea
Carry on sweet chariot
There’s a place
For you and for me

Lonely Days (live)
06:01
|
|||
|
Lying awake, thinking of you, missing you
Reflections of time, some seem almost true
Yes, we were so close, so close together, together
And I knew, oh I knew some things are forever
Because
Lonely days slowly go by, go by
Because
Lonely days slowly go by, go by
Oh, I wish that we never left ourselves alone out there
What has become of us, sometime, somewhere
I can still feel you, feel your breath in my ear
And I'm still saying these words I wish you could hear
Because
Lonely days slowly go by, go by
Because
Lonely days slowly go by, go by
I wanna see you, feel you, I wanna kiss you again
Wanna see you, feel you, never miss you again
Because
Lonely days slowly go by, go by
Because
Lonely days slowly go by, go by
Because
Lonely days, oh too slowly, go by
Because
Lonely days, oh too slowly, oh too slowly
Go by

Gone With The Wind
03:04
|
|||
|
Do you think that you can catch me
Don’t you look, don’t you squint
Don’t you know that you won’t fetch me
Cause I’ll be gone with the wind
Gone with the wind
Gone with the wind
Gone with the wind
Gone with the wind
Never take things for granted
Look these nights are full of sin
It doesn’t matter what you wanted, you wanted
It might be gone with the wind
Gone with the wind
Gone with the wind
Gone with the wind
Gone with the wind
And don’t you step up in my way
Realize how things have spin
Hide away in your dugout
Hide away from the wind
Gone with the wind
Gone with the wind
Gone with the wind
Gone with the wind
Gone with the wind
Gone with the wind
Gone with the wind

Moments (live)
05:29
|

|
You might say that we’re forsaken
You might call it all in vain
You might say thats it‘s all taken
And in the empty there’s no gain
But all these moments still remain
All these moments still remain
All these moments, all these moments
All these moments still remain
You might say that there’s no meaning
In these pictures of the rain
And under any blue skied ceiling
Lingers the bitter old refrain
But all these moments still remain
All these moments still remain
All these moments, all these moments
All these moments still remain
You might ask where was that sun
When you stumbled into pain
Our days where long and gone
And they might never be the same again, again, again, again
But all these moments still remain
All these moments still remain
All these moments, all these moments
All these moments still remain

Utopia (live)
03:29
|
|||
|
Somewhere it goes
Somewhere the wind blows
Somewhere across the sea
Just as long as you’re here with me
For how much longer how long already
Turn that ship or keep it steady
To another pair of scars
We just sit on deck and watch the stars
And will our sail still resist
What is buried in the mist
Are we bound for virgin land
She just smiles and takes my hand
She just smiles and takes my hand
And what appears on the horizon
Some place better than we come from
For there's Utopia somewhere
I don’t care - I’m already there
I don’t care - I’m already there

The Present (live)
06:13

I’d be a captain
If you’re the stewardess
I’d be a comet
If you’re a star
I’d be a wanderer
If you the new address
I’d be some wiskey
If you’re the jar
And with all your sparkling smile
And you’re long and shiny hair
You’d be the present
In my everywhere
I’d be an ashtray
If you’re the cigarette
I’d be a moment
If you’re the time
I’d be a tire
If you’re the new Corvette
I’d be a poet
If you’re the rhyme
And with all your perfect silhouette
In this endless love affair
You’d be the present
In my everywhere
I’d be the baptism
If you’re the religion
I’d be a traveler
If you’re the fair
I’d be a cowboy
If you’re the horizon
I’d be the wind
If you’re the air
And with all your joyful soul
You giving hope to my despair
You’d be the present
In my everywhere
You’d be the present
In my everywhere

It’s hard to tell you how I feel
Cause you do not lead a life
Where the past is full of empty
And every day breaks out of ice
Maybe I just want too much
And there are many miles to chime
But there’s a goal I wanna touch
Another day, another time
Winter roses hard to find
The rain will fall, the sun will shine
Another day, another time
And do you know the feeling thou
When your surroundings just collapse
What’s holy then and now
Is covered up by lies and traps
When a face with every frown
Once familiar, well and nigh
Turns into a dreadful clown
Another day, another time
Winter roses hard to find
The rain will fall, the sun will shine
Another day, another time
For there are times your train gets stuck
But you have not yet arrived
Step outside and find a way
To release the worried mind
And you will feel the rays of life
Charming, warming, oh so kind
Full of pleasure and delight
Another day, another time
Winter roses hard to find
The rain will fall, the sun will shine
Another day, another time
Another day, another time
Winter roses hard to find
The rain will fall, the sun will shine
Another day, another time

Libertine (live)

Libertine
Stars on his mind
Libertine
Nightly they shine
Libertine
Lightly devine
Libertine
Brightly and kind
Libertine
One day you might find
Libertine
The shore of all rhyme
Libertine
In the frontline
Libertine
The well of our time

Revolution (live)
04:30
|
|||
|
Oh hideous knave, so well disguised
In t-shirt and jeans, like all the good guys
Stealing people’s thoughts to manipulate
Elections and countries with lies and hate
But the evil you’re cashing soon will return
Back to it’s sender, in fire to burn
Who saws the wind he reaps the storm
And will be swallowed just like a worm
Revo, revolution
Creepy creatures hide from the sun
Revo, revolution
A new light’s dawn has just begun
Oh greasy old man, suited so slick
With thoughts so angry, disturbing and sick
You’d rape the world to become a man
But that’s the one thing that you never can
Just like Goliath, you gonna fall
The stone lies before you, no matter how tall
You ever will grow, it will be picked up
And hurled with godly force at your top
Revo, revolution
Creepy creatures hide from the sun
Revo, revolution
A new light’s dawn has just begun
All you speakers of hatred, stop telling your lies
There’s still enough time to drop your disguise
And realize that we could be one
To deal with the scourge of civilization
Oh, you might even laugh and say it is too late
But I reply love’s stronger than hate
And soon will you find that I was right
When you will tumble into the night
Revo, revolution
Creepy creatures hide from the sun
Revo, revolution
A new light’s dawn has just begun

Sometimes (live)
04:12
|
|||
|
A way
To the big outside
Often a thought
Rarely realised
Worth the risk
To risk the worth
What will remain
After leaving planet earth
A bitter taste
Or a shiny smile
A memory
Of every single mile
Over the ice
With laughing eyes
To paradise
Sometimes a breaking wave is all it takes for you to live
Sometimes to loosen becomes the only way to give
Sometimes to almost drown teaches you how to swim
Sometimes the end becomes the point where you begin
There are quite a few sandy beaches
To where the tar rarely reaches
In mountain lakes clear rivers rise
And run into in the sea, whatever their size
Feeling easy, feeling fine
About time
Sometimes a breaking wave is all it takes for you to live
Sometimes to loosen becomes the only way to give
Sometimes to almost drown teaches you how to swim
Sometimes the end becomes the point where you begin
And the end of our little play
Is ill defined, tomorrow, today
But the clear water once tasted
Is not meant to be wasted
Sometimes a breaking wave is all it takes for you to live
Sometimes to loosen becomes the only way to give
Sometimes to almost drown teaches you how to swim
Sometimes the end becomes the point where you begin
Sometimes, ooh hmm
Sometimes, ooh hmm
Sometimes, ooh hmm
Sometimes the end becomes the point where you begin
Where you begin
