Is hate winning? Loneliness is a scary thought I wish we’d never fought Now it seems that all is over Feels like the worst hangover I’ve fought for you, I’ve tried You’ve given me no chance The love has died The love has cried I never thought our love would end But now I cannot pretend Two souls on different journeys We are miles apart Too bad and so, so sad Because in the beginning Our love was pure art „Strangelove“ is on the radio And it hurts like Hell Thinking about our past Will it be back, I can't tell I’ve fought for you, I’ve tried You’ve given me no chance The love has died The love has cried (speaking) Darling, I’ve always loved you And always will Now I have to accept the fact That you have changed It is with pain in my heart That I have to watch us part 2) I WAS 20 I was 20 Everything seemed to be All right with the world Lots of parties, many friends Being happy We took it for granted Next day I woke up On the radio they told us we had to fight Suddenly, nothing in the world seemed right People were protesting The first bullets flew over their heads But these warning shots Soon became mortal blows Why has this happened? Can anyone tell me? Yesterday we only wanted to be happy Today the only thought is to survive I realised that everything had changed Happiness from the day before Seemed so distant to me But I never gave up They tried everything to drag me down I always thought of them with a frown Now the fighting is over They say nobody has won The peace accord is in place And people are clapping their hands Is it worth clapping? Why don't we tell ourselves That there is nothing to celebrate? Even though people Are not dying any more Scars will be in our souls Forever and more Why has this happened? Can anyone tell me? Yesterday we only wanted to be happy Today the only thought is to survive 3) IMPOSSIBLE TO ACHIEVE She was so beautiful A work of God's art, I might add So many sleepless nights Her silhouette in my third eye Was it the right time to make a move? My friend told me that She was out of my league I thought about giving up But she would come in my dreams She'd say that I was the one for her Those words were a symphony to me So next day I told myself What have I got to lose? Was it my exaggeration? Or possible liberation? Losing seemed horrible Winning seemed unbelievable But for once in my life I found enough courage I hoped it wouldn't hurt like a knife There she was Like the most beautiful gazelle Even the courageous Dante Would say: Ti aspetta l'inferno (Hell is waiting for you) Was it my exaggeration? Or possible liberation? My determination was hesitant But my heart could not wait To be or not to be It seemed so important to me And then a thunderbolt struck me Straight into my anxious heart I saw her kissing Another girl in the park Was it my exaggeration? Or possible liberation? It seemed impossible It was incredible For me it was indescribable Disappointing, unbearable And Dante was right L'inferno mi ha aspettato (Hell waited for me) 4) WE MET ONLINE We met online I know, it sounds unnatural But life is unpredictable And it seemed so believable Who would have ever thought It would happen to me? Not knowing her face was The mystery I always longed for She was so bright and eloquent I was just happy and wanted more More of those beautiful moments Without everyday torments It was my personal renaissance For my heart a beautiful dance We met online I know it sounds unnatural But life is unpredictable And it seemed so believable One day she said She’d be online no more That the whole thing Became to her a bore What was I to do? Everything crumbled down Scorn was not natural to me I said to myself That was how it had to be We met online I know it sound unnatural But life is unpredictable And it seemed so believable I was hoping she’d come back That I’d see her avatar in green It never happened I dreamt how it could have been But she never came back Never again... We met online I know it sounds unnatural But life is unpredictable And it seemed so believable 5) NEVER AGAIN SHE DARED Action, the director said The actress felt so bad It was not what she hoped for Out of her career she wanted more She was everybody's object of desire Art, perfection, where were they? Was she just another product Even for the director, hey? She said All I’ve ever wanted to be Is an actress in love with art Lights, object, envy That is not my part. Little did she know That art had fallen so low It was all about money, fame Parties, red carpets, name She felt disgusted These people were Not to be trusted The circus was in town On her face a frown She said All I’ve ever wanted to be Is an actress in love with art Lights, object, envy That is not my part. Her disappointment was enormous There was nothing remotely humorous She had nothing to give Felt it was time to leave Twenty years later She was happily married Acting career buried Two children, husband cared Acting? Movies? Never again she dared. Never again she dared... 6) REVENGE In this hotel room In this foreign place What am I doing here? Where is my grace? She left me It was too late Why did I hope that The break-up wasn’t fate? I loved her so much And I felt so hurt My anger was destroying me It seemed like it wasn't me And I wanted revenge Blood was rushing through my veins Was it strange? Revenge? The thoughts were scary, terrible pains And I wanted revenge Was it so strange? She never looked back No mercy, no explanation In my heart there was a crack And a terrible temptation Was I capable of such a terrible deed? A terrible deed, revenge indeed Many people told me to let it go They said, revenge, no, no. And I wanted revenge Blood was rushing through my veins Was it strange? Revenge? The thoughts were scary, terrible pains And I wanted revenge Was it so strange? 7) TO BE A POP STAR To be a pop star Is it such a big deal? Their lives seem so unreal Is that how I want to feel? We see the stars in the sky We see the stars on TV Is that the reason why I want it to be me Change of style Change of place No phone number to dial No private space To be a pop star Is it such a big deal? Their lives seem so unreal Is that how I want to feel? I’ve been told it’s not for me Who are they To make such a bold claim Or am I to blame? Is it my vanity, my potential fame My insanity, Not wanting to be the same? I'm still young Don't know if I'll be the same Hidden in my heart a desire To see people scream my name To be a pop star Is it such a big deal? Their lives seem so unreal Is that how I want to feel? Is it? Please, someone tell me Is it? 8) WAS IT MEANT TO BE? The beach was empty Late at night We kissed and looked At the moon so bright She looked me in the eyes Every time it was a surprise For her stare Was unique, was rare And I ask myself Was it meant to be? Was I to blame? Was she? The honeymoon was perfection I never thought of defection Her love was so immense And it made all the sense I played the piano, she sang We didn't care if anybody rang Breakfast in bed No traces of being sad The best time we'd ever had And I ask myself Was it meant to be? Was I to blame? Was she? Then something changed She started drinking I was afraid And work was my refuge The gap between us Never so huge I thought things would change It would be again perfection But she said things in rage And I didn't have any reaction And I ask myself Was it meant to be? Was I to blame? Was she? 9) IN MY ANGER… In my anger I was foolish I didn't appreciate what I had But after the mistake I wasn't sad At myself I was mad I cheated, not proud of that How could anyone be? But there must've been a reason Why I committed this treason Why did I do it? I never knew But she kept telling me Yes, it was you The snow was falling Everything was so bright And I was hoping That I was right But how could I've been so cruel Be such a fool I hurt the woman of my dreams Now so stupid it all seems Why did I do it? I never knew But she kept telling me Yes, it was you It was too late to cry She left, never said goodbye I kept asking myself why I thought I was going to die Speaking: I didn't appreciate what I had And the mistakes had to be paid I asked for forgiveness In the moment of my sadness She wanted to hit me with her hand And now I understand 10) I THANKED THE RAIN Is coincidence really What they say it is? Or is everything part of The majestic cosmic plan? I believe it's the latter For I'm going to tell you An unusual story, so true I was walking in the rain And a woman bumped into me There was nowhere to hide So she had a coat over her head I thanked the rain And looked into the sky Coincidence or cosmic plan That she didn't pass me by? She apologised and said That the weather was awful And I said to see her again I was hopeful Taken by surprise After my words with no disguise She said that her car was near If I could wait here I thanked the rain And looked into the sky Coincidence or cosmic plan That she didn't pass me by? She offered me a ride My happiness I couldn't hide I hoped I’d get to know her better Grateful that I wouldn’t be wetter We drove off Had a lot of fun Next day, together We stared at the Sun It turned out to be The best day of my life Happy, delirious, joyful Feeling like a true man I love you, cosmic plan I thanked the rain And looked into the sky Coincidence or cosmic plan That she didn't pass me by? 11) TENANT AND LOW What a strange story Not really basked in glory It takes place in my building Hope you'll understand the meaning The owner is eager to rent One empty apartment The bank is closing in on him Paying bills? Chances slim Frustrated and nervous He’s feeling so bad Trying not to be sad I need a tenant The rent is low I hope someone will call I'll wait in the hall Anxious, waiting, Anticipating, Unemployment is hard No chances for this poetry bard Where is art? The world is upside down It's all about money The thought makes him frown I need a tenant The rent is low I hope someone will call I'll wait in the hall He used to be much in demand Society's favourite bard And then recession Made no concession People don't listen They don't care Poetry is almost gone Turmoil, everyone is a pawn I need a tenant The rent is low I hope someone will call I'll wait in the hall 12) DON'T JUDGE ME Something went wrong Now we know that You didn't solve the problem And I created mayhem You cheated You didn't care I found you with him In bed, bare Angry as I was I wanted to retaliate And by doing so I opened the sin gate Don't judge me I'm not the only one to blame We should both admit shame Don't judge me You had an affair Later I didn't care Empty streets, Lonely girls in the bars It wasn't difficult We had sex in the cars To my surprise The anger was gone I didn't think of you Strange, but true Don't judge me I'm not the only one to blame We should both admit shame Don't judge me You had an affair Later I didn't care We were sitting in the room Looking away from each other You said it was doom I disagreed, felt relieved It was time to say goodbye I didn't need you any more You begged, really did try Too late, darling A new life is calling 13) DISTORTED WORLD Facebook, twitter The whole world is connected I disagree I think it's distorted I want a partner A friend in flesh Talking to a screen What do they mean? Vocabularies are thin To all languages Computers are a sin People in offices killing time Chatting with strangers Then charging overtime We live in a distorted world And we don't even notice This is wrong human kind What's happened to your mind? Human contact, human smile? We don't even dial I'm appalled, they never called Come online No, I'd rather dine Paid experts call it progress Maybe for mom's small princess For an old-fashioned guy like me Human touch That's where I want to be We live in a distorted world And we don't even notice This is wrong human kind What's happened to your mind? No screen, no nickname Yet I don't want anyone to blame Face to face contact, please for me The others? Let them be We live in a distorted world And we don't even notice This wrong human kind What's happened to your mind? 14) APATHY WILL NOT PREVAIL Working from nine to five How am I supposed to feel alive? The hours are long, Too many taxes to pay Why am I here? It's not a robot day The only reason I am here every day Is so many Utility bills to pay In my apartment Paintings on the wall Speak volumes to me After another day of not being me But apathy will not prevail I have never been for sale Where is love? Where is creativity? We need a new scene of nativity Jesus breaking tables Setting people free Shackles would be fables Spirit would prevail in you and me In my apartment Paintings on the wall Speak volumes to me After another day of not being me But apathy will not prevail I have never been for sale Robotic materialism Highest expression of misery Billions want money But why? It's not even funny Sad is the state Of man's affairs But this life is not mine It's theirs In my apartment Paintings on the wall Speak volumes to me After another day of not being me But apathy will not prevail I have never been for sale Fake Picasso on the wall Fake Da Vinci in the hall But I do not care Better a fake painting Than a fake being As soon as I have a chance I'll be doing my dance Others will find me strange Because they don't want to change 15) BLACK SWAN Tchaikovsky and his Swan Lake The most beautiful artistic Expression one can make Black or white Over that they still fight But your gracefulness Is contrast to their emptiness Not being one of the crowd What a great reason to be proud Black swan They say you don't belong Tell them that They are not strong Not strong enough And even less tough So many bumps So much hate The lake is crying Its black son is dying But no, it's just an evil rumour They lied to the lake Black swan, your utter beauty Something they cannot take Black swan They say you don't belong Tell them that They are not strong Not strong enough And even less tough Going with the flow No, it's not what you know Far more distinguished you are With your stunning feather repertoire The visitors admire your breathtaking grace And can't even see your face Black swan, just go on Pay no attention to Their lack of bon ton 16) COLD RUSSIAN WINTER Why this obsession with Russia? Why was I there? The Russian winter was so cold But I was not there to scold Vast spaces, so much beauty But I didn’t envy the guards on duty I kept coming back here I knew, to be near Near her, beautiful Natasha And Pоссия майка наша (our mother Russia) (English spelling should be Rossiya Mayka Nasha - more or less) It was freezing, I didn’t mind Because people were so kind Would she forgive me I should soon know My hopes were high No reason to lie Rhodiola rosea gave me The strength to carry on To the place where she'd be waiting The central station Pantheon And there she was Her eyes blue as the sky And there was I Trembling, about to die It was freezing, I didn’t mind Because people were so kind Would she forgive me I should soon know My hopes were high No reason to lie Forgiveness was hard to get And I would never bet But then she smiled And all good reason applied I was forgiven But we were not even I wanted to take her so high To the end of the sunny sky Tell me I exaggerate And I don't care Those who win They must dare They must dare... 17) SMOOTH JAZZ Uptempo or smooth jazz It really doesn't matter But I admit, tired I prefer the latter The groove is divine Euge Groove is so fine Late at night When I can't sleep Slowly it makes me fall In dreams so deep So many great names Even more great songs Love is always in the air For me, I hope it's out there Smooth jazz, so sweet, Sophisticated Always makes me feel Domesticated Saxophone, Keep making me feel alive 'Cause in my life I have to strive I long for love The feeling is humiliating Love should be all around us Why are people complicating? Smooth jazz guves me hope There's still someone for me I wish I could walk down a slope Hear her say laughing „catch me“ Smooth jazz, so sweet, Sophisticated Always makes me feel Domesticated Saxophone, Keep making me feel alive 'Cause in my life I have to strive I've been waiting, Like crazy, anticipating Paralysed I have become Hoping for the groove To make me move I know there's still hope Tomorrow is another day Maybe a nice face saying Beautiful stranger, hey! Smooth jazz, so sweet, Sophisticated Always makes me feel Domesticated Saxophone, Keep making me feel alive 'Cause in my life I have to strive 18) PARTNERS IN CRIME I didn't have a dime We became partners in crime Deception, passion Her husband didn't know She'd say she was On a business trip He only cared to have a sip Different cities, various targets Banks, jewels, a great story Gold was her obsession And I enjoyed her passion Partners in crime Having such a great time Sinners in bed Never scared of being shot dead Thrills were our pills Sex was pure chills We never thought it would end Listening to our favourite band Paris, London, Florence Targets were so easy After good fun We were so busy Partners in crime Having such a great time Sinners in bed Never scared of being shot dead In Madrid people said Justice, where art thou? Then we realised To leave, time was now Life on the run, Adrenaline, so much fun Her husband still didn't know We drank wine in a chateau Partners in crime Having such a great time Sinners in bed Never scared of being shot dead We were never caught Who would've thought? Even now, from time to time We are partners in crime 19) SUCCESS IS NOT FOR US The band was on stage But the audience felt the rage Success, money, girls At a very young age They were not ready to change The agent and producer Had no empathy Money was their Only sympathy The band just wanted to play To have fun through the day They didn't ask for success And for all the mess People had big plans For the band But the members felt Like heads in sand This is not natural, they said Producers, agents never cared Machiavelli would have been proud Of this surrounding crowd The band just wanted to play To have fun through the day They didn't ask for success And for all the mess And then it happened People were shocked First the singer in rehab Then the drummer's suicide The vultures didn’t even Bother to hide Funeral, lots of roses Fans watching from a distance Success took another soul But the vultures stuck to their goal Even though there was No band any more Their unfinished CD Was in every store 20) THERE WAS A MURDER A beautiful body on the floor Motionless, close to the door A woman in her twenties Never had a chance The killer performed his bloody dance The neighbours were in denial It simply couldn't be true The victim was a witness at trial Didn't even reach the phone dial There was a murder A young life extinguished so early A courageous witness to be In a pool of blood That everybody could see The police were hesitating Why? It was so irritating The detective said They would find the killer We all hoped it would Not turn out to be a thriller This case seemed to be connected To some guy who had defected International intrigue at its best Or just a psychological test? There was a murder A young life extinguished so early A courageous witness to be In a pool of blood, That everybody could see Some people were hopeful They trusted the police Some were suspicious That there wouldn’t be peace A woman so young Helpless on the carpet So beautiful To watch was painful The following day They caught the killer Simple case, no thriller A jealous guy In the heat of passion Oh Lord, stop this madness Please, no more sadness. 21) I TRUSTED YOU You said I could trust you love you, adore you Then like a piece of glass I felt pain in my heart Betrayal, hurt like a dart And you said, you I could trust Naivety was my forte Even though I shouldn't admit Never thought In my wildest dreams Adultery you would commit I always thought We'd stay together Forever, ever, wherever Naivety was not my friend I realised that in the end I was not a boy I had to be prepared Losing was part of the game And I was the one to blame For blaming you now Would have no effect Going back to the reason why No need, you could always lie I always thought We'd stay together Forever, ever, wherever Naivety was not my friend I realised that in the end Your cruelty will accompany me Devastated I will be Let bygones be bygones Can it be my new forte? 22) THEY APPROVED The thought kept me awake You and me on the lake We rowed and rowed and rowed The seed of our love we sowed The swans and geese approved How could they not? The animals wanted us To tie the knot The lake gave birth to love No more excuses, no more glove The birds were singing to us The swans and geese were jealous A distant thunderstorm Who cared? Our lake friends Were talking to us We didn't understand And didn't even demand Our chakras must've been violet Indigo children We became on the lake Crystal children, next stop? It depended If there would be a flop The lake gave birth to love No more excuses, no more glove The birds were singing to us The swans and geese were jealous The sun caressed our skin You said it was all you ever wanted The moon slowly approached On the other side it lurked Such beauty I'd never witnessed We could see both The Moon and the Sun For us it wasn't soon It was already a deal done. The lake gave birth to love No more excuses, no more glove The birds were singing to us The swans and geese were jealous 23) IT CAN NEVER BE You walk and you talk And all I want to do is mock Mock the way you talk When I met you, love at first sight Now I realise, I was not right You're not the one for me No, us, it can never be I don't want to offend you Never have I done such a thing Your posh behaviour No space even for a fling To be simple, modest That is what I'm all about The acquaintances wouldn't approve The friends would shout The heart can deceive The eyes easily become naive Beauty is a dangerous thing I’m so sorry, I have to leave People will accuse me Of being shallow Guilty as charged The first sight fool From now on A different rule To be simple, modest That is what I am all about The acquaintances wouldn't approve The friends would shout 24) YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THE GAME Tell me you didn't mean it That it was just a rant I am a celebrity I don't need your charity You think I'm shallow Parties, wine, music mellow You don't understand the game You want me to be the same You’ve never had to work Rich daddy, famous in New York I was just a lonely boy Tired of being called a dork There was an opportunity I had to take Never thought of it as a mistake And if I have to play the game I don't need your blame Support, Do you know what it is? Well, maybe just a little bit Being posh is not who I am But the rules are not just for them That dork will never come back I am new me Too bad you can't see If the break-up is an option Is there anything I can do? You throw glasses at me And care more about your hairdo There was an opportunity I had to take Never thought of it as a mistake And if I have to play the game I don't need your blame Understanding is not easy God knows I have tried Our backgrounds So much difference Do I have to add to it Your daily verbal dance (US English) I wish we could sort this out Please, don't ever shout We'll pick up the broken glass And forget all the doubt 25) FINALLY SAILING Tell me you love me I don't care Where were you When I needed you? Unbearable waiting No trace of you In love falling Constantly calling Ballads were my killer Empty room, karmic doom? Yearning for love The waves that rushed through My body meridians Were ready for love torrents Ready for romantic ambience Not for loveless torments Tell me you love me I don't care Where were you When I needed you? Then I changed my mind Hate started to prevail A toy I didn't want to be This love would never set me free Now I'm sailing Into the sunset in the offing Waiting for sunrise To remove my love demise I don't know you any more Attention you don't deserve There must be someone out there Who wants to care 26) THE OLD CLOWN I don't want to miss the station End up in another nation Duality was a friend of mine Now it's really out of line It was good for a while Acting in order to score Time has come to settle down No more space for the old clown Circus clowns would've been jealous My behaviour, a real menace Less to society, more to myself Time to store it on a shelf
