1.
what's going on, dude?
your machine is so rude
it's not in the mood
it aint gonna boot
2.
droning like a skep
it breaks step by step
oh poor old chap
this hardware is crap
Refrain:
oops - harddrive failure
why do you call me an untrue disk?
in pleasure we did wallow
is our relation on a risk?
will you still love me tomorrow?
3.
no backups in addition?
that was no good decision
i'm having now a vision
there is no more partition

1.
Einst traf ich die Frau ohne Maske
Sie hatte ein klares Gesicht
Das Meine konnt' sie nicht sehen
Ich zeigte es ihr nicht
2.
Ich liebte sie mehr als mein Leben
Sie hat mein Herz gerührt
Meine Liebe konnt' sie nicht sehen
Ich hab sie zum Paket verschnürt
3.
Die Zeit hat viele Falten
Die oft mit Tränen bedeckt
Die Meinen konnt' sie nicht sehen
Ich hab sie vor ihr versteckt
4.
An irgendeinem Morgen
Ich weiss nicht mehr den Ort
Es war wohl durch ihren Zauber
Da war meine Maske fort
5.
Und es war Licht statt Schatten
Und es waren Narben statt Wunden
Doch all das konnt sie nicht mehr sehen
Sie war mit meiner Maske entschwunden
Hab beide nie mehr gefunden

1.
Once I met the woman with no mask
She had a clear face
Mine she could not see
I did not show her
2.
I loved her more than my life
She has touched my heart
My love she could not see
I tied it up like a packet
3.
Time has many crinkles
Often covered in tears
Mine she could not see
I've hidden them from her
4.
Once in a morning
I don't remember the place
It must have been her magic
When my mask was begone
5.
And there was light instead of shadow
And there was healing instead of wounds
Still she could not see it anymore
She had vanished with my mask
Never found again either of them

a:
easily said, oh so freely
you'll always be special to me
it echoes in the weeks of silence
like a ghost in the canyon
bouncing off of lonely walls
like a pebble tossed carelessly
landing upon my doormat
as forgotten as i am
i am content in it, finally
chalking it up to youth
the usual fickleness
caused by spring time rut
oh but let him not be so foolish
as to return with empty hands
whimpering for love lost
Bridge:
there is only the old oak door
for those who claim to remember home
but who do so only
when the hearth of another has gone cold
while the pebble remains
still and cold upon my stoop
i am not the doormat
for a careless, wandering foot
b:
as to think the first welcome remains
with so much dust shaken from his heels
in the great, passionate
rushing departure to chase
some flippant, flitting, flighty thing

1.
Green grow the lilacs, all sparkling with dew
I'm lonely, my darling, since parting with you
My heart is still bleeding, my love is still true
To change the green lilacs to the red, white and blue
2.
Last night in deep slumber I dreamed I did see
Last night in deep slumber I dreamed I did see
My own precious jewel sat smiling by me
My own precious jewel sat smiling by me
3.
And when I awakened I found it not so
And when I awakened I found it not so
My eyes like some fountains with tears overflow
My eyes like some fountains with tears overflow
4.
Once I had a sweetheart and now I have none
Once I had a sweetheart and now I have none
She's gone and leave me, She's gone and leave me
Gone and leave me to sorrow and moan
5.
I wrote love letters in rosy red lines
She sent me an answer all twisted in twines
Saying "Keep your love letters and I will keep mine
You write to your sweetheart and I'll write to mine"
6.
I passed my love's window, both early and late
The look that she gave me, it makes my heart ache
Oh the look that she gave me was painful to see
For she loves another one better than me
7.
Once I had a sweetheart, but now I have none
She's gone and leave me, I care not for one
Since she's gone and leave me, contented I'll be
For she loves another one better than me
8.
I ventured through England, through France and through Spain
I ventured through England, through France and through Spain
All my life I will venture the watery main
All my life I will venture the watery main
9.
Green grow the lilacs, all sparkling with dew
I'm lonely, my darling, since parting with you
My heart is still bleeding, my love is still true
To change the green lilacs to the red, white and blue
Change the green lilacs to the red, white and blue

With the invasion of 1950 and the subsequent Seventeen Point Agreement, China asserted control over Tibet.
A rebellion against occupation broke out in June 1956.
The insurrection, supported by the American CIA, eventually spread to Lhasa and was crushed by 1959.
The number that have died of violence, or other indirect causes since 1950 is approximately 1.2 million.
The number of intact monasteries in Tibet was reduced from thousands, to less than ten.
Despite recent attempts to restore the appearance of original Tibetan culture, the traditional way of life is now irrevocably changed.

1.
Morning seems to come for us too soon.
Spills and sunshine when the day is new.
But when I start to open up my eyes,
I am glad to see you by my side.
2.
Summer, spring and winter disappear;
Seasons blend together through the years,
But when the autumn breezes start to blow,
You'll be there to keep me warm, I know.
Refrain:
So beautiful, you are the sweetest song I know,
Just like a memory. Anyone can see: We are in love.

1.
(Lassie, come home!) Return from the chase.
(I know where you roam.) Come back to your place.
2.
(My barn is your dome,) since good ole days,
(Of planks and of loam,) so pick up the pace.
Bridge:
Heel! And Sit! Lassie? Heel! And Sit!
3.
{Lassie, come home!} See my angry face.
{Lassie, come home!} Come back to your place.

1.
You look like an angel in dark clouds
Your voice is shaky and muffled by this shroud
The shroud of lies we knit to stay so close
I am falling and you're like a ghost
2.
hmmm hmmm
I am all you want and nothing more
I am laid up waiting on this floor
I want to feel you tearing down my door
Refrain:
Oh I will pine for you forever
You're my golden sun, my treasure
Oh oh oh oh oh

1.
If you wanna ride, don't ride the white horse.
White horse, don't ride the white horse.
(no no no)
2.
If you wanna be rich, you got to be a ...
3.
If you wanna ride, ride the white pony.
Ride, ride the white pony.

1.
All the old paintings on the tombs, they do the sand dance, don't you know?
If they move too quick, they're falling down like a domino.
All the bazaar men by the Nile, they got the money on a bet.
Gold crocodiles, they snap their teeth on your cigarette.
Foreign types with the hookah pipes say: 'Walk like an Egyptian'.
(What does he say?)
2.
The blonde waitresses take their trays, they spin around and they cross the floor,
They've got the moves. You drop your drink then they bring you more.
All the school kids so sick of books, they like the punk and the metal band.
When the buzzer rings, they're walking like an Egyptian.
All the kids in the marketplace say: 'Walk like an Egyptian'.
(The children are still annoying!)
3.
Slide your feet up the street, bend your back, shift your arm, then you pull it back.
Life is hard, you know, so strike a pose on a Cadillac.
If you want to find all the folks... they're hanging out in the site o' Splice.
They sing and dance, they mix the songs down really nice.
All the folks in the sequencer say: 'Walk like an Egyptian'.
(You still don't know it?)

1.
All around me are familiar faces, worn out places.
Bright and early for their daily races, going nowhere.
Their tears are filling up their glasses, no expression.
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow, no tomorrow.
Refrain:
And I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad:
The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had.
I find it hard to tell you, cos I find it hard to take.
When people run in circles, it's a very very Mad World.
2.
Children waiting for the day they feel good, Happy Birthday.
Made to feel the way that every child should, sits and listen.
Went to school and I was very nervous, no one knew me.
Hello teacher, tell me what's my lesson, look right through me.

1.
I'm fortune's stranger, knife in a mirror,
Changeable weather when its seeding time.
Whisper me treason, jumping and leaving,
Something that I'm working on a turning sign.
Refrain:
And I don't care at all. I build a wall.
Waiting for something is nothing at all.
2.
I'm a fire fighter, but I'm such a heavy sleeper,
Feeling for forever when its seeding time.
Time for a touchstone, tell me when I can go.
Throw me a new curveball, it's a turning sign.

1.
Am Brunnen vor dem Tore, da steht ein Lindenbaum,
Ich träumt' in seinem Schatten so manchen süßen Traum.
Ich schnitt in seine Rinde so manches liebe Wort,
Es zog in Freud' und Leide zu ihm mich immer fort.
2.
Ich musst' auch heute wandern, vorbei in tiefer Nacht
Da hab' ich noch im Dunkel die Augen zugemacht.
Und seine Zweige rauschten, als riefen sie mir zu:
Komm her zu mir, Geselle, hier findest du deine Ruh'.
3.
Die kalten Winde bliesen mir grad' ins Angesicht,
Der Hut flog mir vom Kopfe, ich wendete mich nicht.
Nun bin ich manche Stunde entfernt von diesem Ort,
Und immer hör' ich's rauschen: Du fändest Ruhe dort.

1.
Outside the gate's a fountain and an old lindentree;
Under its shady branches my dreams were sweet and free.
I carved in its old bark, so many phrases dear.
In times of joy and sadness it always drew me near.
2.
Today I still must wander all through the gloomy night;
'twas then that in the darkness I closed my eyes so tight.
And I heard branches whisper ss if they called to me:
Come to me weary traveler, you'll find your peace with me.
3.
The frigid winds were blowing against my face and me.
My hat flew into darkness, I did not turn to see.
Now I am many hours away from this old tree
And still I hear it whispering you'd find your peace with me.

1.
In a field of green a flower grows, like my love for you it blooms.
In a clouded sky the sun is high, shining on a rose in June.
2.
When the summer breeze blows through the trees, and the robins sing their tune,
I seem to recall a sleepy dream, scented like a rose in June.
Refrain:
Then when winter comes and the petals fall, and this lonely flower is bare,
I know come spring the weather will bring, sweet times and love in the air.
3.
Then when she arrives I will not need, a bouquet of orchids blue,
I know I will see my love recline, right beside a rose in June.

1.
Blue Moon, you saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart, without a love of my own.
2.
Blue Moon, you knew just what I was there for,
You heard me saying a prayer for someone I really could care for.
Refrain:
And suddenly there appeared before me
The only one my arms could ever hold.
I heard someone whisper 'please adore me'
And when I looked, my moon had turned to gold.

Old King Cole was a merry old soul
And a merry old soul was he;
He called for his pipe, and he called for his bowl
And he called for his fiddlers three.
And every fiddeler had a fine fiddle
And a very fine fiddle had he.
Oh there's none so rare, as can compare
With King Cole and his fiddelers three.

1.
I was guided by desire, in search of lust and fire,
Only chasing after shadows of sagacity.
When you opened once your heart, I locked up right from the start,
Disregarding all the signs of love and veracity.
My truth was frail and never strong, hardly knew where I belong;
Thought my life was free, but finally I had to see
And must agree: I got it wrong.
Refrain:
Where is my life? Tell me, is it gone, lost in translation?
Just gambled away, say, what have I done in these years of temptation?
Still on the run. No more, no more years of temptation.
2.
This house is cold and empty.
Stare in my own reflection.
Everything is fine cause I am here.
When I called your name you disappeared.

1.
Sometimes you may live among the people,
Sometimes you may sit behind your door;
All you feel is nothing but the answer.
Try to live your rich life and stay poor.
2.
Whether you like sunshine in the morning,
whether you like evenings golden light;
All you feel is nothing but the answer.
Try to live your loud life and stay quiet.
Refrain:
Whether you don't know how to explain it,
Whether you know how to comprehend,
All these little things you're loosing;
Find them again in a friend.
3.
Sometimes there's a smile for you from nowhere,
Sometimes there's a lover full of harm,
All you feel is nothing but the answer.
Try to live your fierce life and stay calm.
4.
Whether you can sense your Lords radiation,
Whether you think nothing is aroun';
All you feel is nothing but the answer.
Try to live your high life and stay down.

1.
Gimme a ticket for an aeroplane,
Ain't got time to take a fast train.
Lonely days have gone, I'm a-going home,
My baby just wrote me an email.
2.
I don't care how much money I gotta spend.
Got to get back to my baby again.
Lonely days have gone, I'm a-going home,
My baby just wrote me an email.
Refrain:
Well, she wrote me a letter,
Said, she couldn't live without me no more.
Listen mister, can't you see,
I got to get back to my baby once more, anyway, yeah.

1.
What's going on? Where's the ground?
Voices in the clouds tap on your shoulder.
Every moment keeps turning 'round
All the time flies by we're getting older.
Refrain:
Imagination is a friend when you are all alone, when you're love has gone.
And he will stay until the end, you're never on your own, there's nothing to be done.
La la la...
2.
Travel the world in your mind.
It's a universe, your private wonder.
Living in dreams of any kind.
Come on, take a trip, no need to ponder.

1.
Noch eine Kippe, die rauch ich mit dir,
Dann muss ich fort, mich hält nichts mehr hier.
Werde dir schreiben, sobald ich kann,
Bis wir uns sehen, irgendwann.
2.
Verlier nicht den Mut und pass auf dich auf.
Es wird schon hinhau'n, verlass dich drauf.
Denkste auch manchmal an unsre Zeit,
An all die Träume, die wir hatten, zu zweit?
Refrain:
Halt mich fest, ein letztes mal,
Bevor der Wind sich dreht.
Wir hatten beide doch nie eine Wahl.
Es wird kalt, wenn die Liebe geht.
3.
Dann steh ich unten und seh nochmal rauf.
Sie steht nicht am Fenster - hab ich das wirklich geglaubt?
Flammen im Triebwerk, eine Spur aus Rauch;
Doch noch ein Flugzeug in meinem Bauch.

1.
Another cigarette, smoke it with you,
Then I got to go, nothing's holding me here anymore.
Will write you as soon as I can,
Until we meet again, sometime.
2.
Keep your spirits up and take care.
It will work out, trust in it.
Do you sometimes remember our time,
All these dreams we had in common?
Refrain:
Hold me tight, a last time,
Before wind changes.
For we never had a choice.
It's getting cold when love disappears.
3.
Then standing down there and looking up once more.
She's not at the window - did I really believe so?
Flames in the engine, a trace of smoke;
Still an aeroplane in my stomach.

Refrain:
Kalte Winter, heisse Sommer zogen übers Land
Fliehende Erinnerungen, dein Lachen in der Wand
Neue Freunde, neue Liebe, Träume Hand in Hand
Fliehende Erinnerungen, dein Bild wird unbekannt
1.
Damals fehlte uns Geduld um das Leben zu verstehn
Damals fehlte viel um gegen unsre Zweifel zu bestehn
Wir waren wie Kinder die hofften es wird einmal schön
Lass die Dinge laufen, lass die Zeit vergehn
Lass die Dinge laufen, lass die Zeit vergehn
2.
Manchmal geh ich noch am Fluss entlang, wo ich einst ging mit dir
Dort am Strand, wo die Zigeuner war'n; heut ist niemand mehr hier
Damals hatt' ich Angst davor, dass ich dich verlier
Jetzt steh ich am Ufer nur mit mir
Jetzt steh ich am Ufer und frier

Refrain:
Cold winters, hot sommers came over the country
Escaping memories, your laughter in the wall
New friends, new love, dreaming hand in hand
Escaping memories, your picture becomes unknown
1.
At that time we missed patience to understand life
At that time much was lacking to stand our doubts
We were like children, hoping it will be fine one day
Let things run, let time pass away
Let things run, let time pass away
2.
Sometimes I'm still walking along the river, where I once walked with you
There at the border, where the gypsies roamed; noone is here anymore
At that time I was afraid of loosing you
Now I'm at the border all alone
Now I'm at the border and freezing

1.
The lights are going down and silence all-around,
fight is over, dusk is falling.
It's just another town, I'm feeling homeward bound.
Time to part, the road keeps calling.
Refrain:
And when you look behind, keep good times in your mind
if that's the end. We did as best we might,
we had our season, there is no reason
for regrets my friend. Who cares what's wrong or right?
2.
It's just another day on our endless way.
What do you fear? Why all the worry?
There's nothing more to pay, there's nothing more to say
apart from being sad and sorry.

1.
Tu es mon soleil, tous les jours, toutes les nuits
N'importe quand, ce que tu fais, ce que tu dis
Quand tu someilles, tu es silence dans les bruits
Tu es un havre, un havre de paix, ma fille
Quand tu parles, c'est comme de la musique
Quand tu danses, les anges se réveillent
Comme tu es, c'est si magnifique
Comme tu es, tu es mon soleil
Refrain:
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine...
2.
Tu es mon soleil depuis la première fois
C'était étrange, je n'avais pas le choix
Ils te jugent dure, mais moi, je n'eux crois pas
Tu es la lumière, la plus claire pour moi
Tout le monde a peur de toi et ta mystique
Quand ils parlent, je fais la sourde oreille
Comme tu es, c'est si magnifique
Comme tu es, tu es mon soleil

1.
You are my sun, all days, all nights
Doesn't matter when, what you do, what you say
When you slumber, you're silence among the noises
For you're a haven, a haven of peace, my girl
When you speak, it's like music
When you dance, the angels are awakening
Like you are, it's so wunderful
Like you are, you are my sun
Refrain:
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
You'll never know just how much I love you
Please dont take my sunshine away
2.
You are my sun since the first time
It was strange, I didn't have the choice
They judge you as hard, but me, I don't believe them
For you're the light, the brightest one for me
All people are afraid of you and your mysticism
When they talk big I turn a deaf ear
Like you are, it's so wunderful
Like you are, you are my sun

Fill:
Let's go to the swamp
1.
Throw the trouble that you keep
It will bubble, it will sleep
Aint no cryin, aint no weep
Make it dyin in the deep
2.
Start to smile, forget to frown
In a while your pain will drown
Sink your sorrow to the ground
Till tomorrow it is down

1.
There's a noisy place in the heart of the city
The boys are tough and the girls are not pretty
The moon is a face and the clouds are tall
But they can't get enough, 'cos their eyes are too small
2.
Well you stand in the middle of a nasty crowd
And the sound of the world is not the sound they shout
Someone's holdin' a fiddle, someone's talkin' about
Whom was the voice you heard when your dreams went out
Bridge:
I try to find (x3)
3.
It's just a moment you wait, maybe you think you'll do right
It's just a moment you stop instead of changin' the side
And then it's always too late to do what has to be done
And when you climb up to the top you are the lonely one
4.
There was a beat in your step there was a move inside
Through the heat of the day and the summer night
Then you were caught in a trap, in a cage of pain
But you heard of a way out of misery again

Fill:
Right on top of every wave,
Every wave the ocean makes...
1.
That's the time I remember:
Me shattered thoughts in blue and amber.
Empty hearts along the scene;
Fill them brains with cocaine.
Saw the light shine in her hair;
Was she me cure against despair?
«Handsome boy,» she say to me,
«I dont wanna pay that fee...»
Refrain:
Sexual business in the street
I wont dance to yo funky beat
I dont wanna suck yo breast
Cos yo mind forgets the rest.
2.
T'day I'm walkin long the shore.
Ocean gals at surfers store,
Lookin cool, but what it means:
Wearin nothin but their dreams.
The chinese cook, tha read my hand;
Bloody letters in the sand.
We all live in the dragons year.
What the hell am I doin here?

1
Is schon paar Tage her jetzt, dass ich sie sah
Ich sah nur ihre Augen, Sterne so klar
2
Keiner kennt ihren Namen, keiner weiss, wer sie war
Werd sie wohl nie mehr finden, war mir ja klar

1.
Been a few days that I met her
Saw her eyes only, stars so clear
2.
Nobody knows her name, nobody knows who she was
Probably won't find her again, tha's quite plain to me
