1. Can't feel a draught

There's something obscure going on around me
The ocean is red and pink is the stream
I look through the window but the glass is dim
I'm at my own front door, but I can't get in
I hear the wind blow but I can't feel a draught
Suddenly I feel like I fall into a shaft
There's something obscure going on around me
The ocean is red and pink is the stream
I swim through the sea without getting wet
Eat five chocolates a day without getting fat
My heart is pounding like a fist
It's all so strange but I can't resist

2. Soulfood

I feel totally in ecstasy
Stumping my feet to the beat
It's been a long time since I've had so much fun
That music really turns me on
Dancing on to the rhythm
It's one of those happy days
I jump to the left and jump to the right
And no one could ever stop me
That rhythm really makes me feel so strong
It builds me up and feeds my soul again
It helps to forget my worries
It helps to forget the stress
There are so many drugs which I can choose from
But this is the one that works the best
That rhythm really makes me feel so strong
It builds me up and feeds my soul again

3. When I'm sleeping

When I'm sleeping I can't do anything wrong
Speech has a break, so I don't have to move my tongue
Some people roll their eyes just when I open my mouth
That's one of the reasons why I went to the south
To him it didn't mean redemption
To walk to Southampton
Oh no...

4. Nothing to talk about

We spent hours talking about this and that
School, music, guy's, all sort of crap
Your shoulder was always there for me to lean on
But now it's gone
But what went wrong
We shared our fears and we got drunk on beer
Yes we've been through so much over the years
But things have changed, been rearranged
The friendship we had has somehow gone bad
We sometimes hit and shout each other
But despite our fight we're still like brothers
And now you hang out with a different crowd
And laugh at my clothes and my music's too loud
There was a time when we needed no words
We could sit in silence but still be heard
What connected us is no longer there
But if you want the truth,
I don't care

5. Kids

Wasn't itfun when we were kids
We never gave a thought about things we did
Rang peoples doorbells, then ran and hide
No responsibilities when we were kids
I wanna be a kid again, who wants to grow old
I want to break all the rules again and not do what I'm told
We never used to worry at all
Climbed walls and trees but never did fall
Spent all day laughing and running about
And pretend not to hear when our mother would shout
I wanna be a kid again...

6. Roots

Long time ago, there were living strong trees
With long sappy roots, they were living in peace
They cautiously embraced the ground
The roots loved that ground and the other way round
All over the country, there were living these trees
The wind blew softly between the leafs
The proud branches were growing to the sky
Boundless growing like mountains high
Living with the seasons in harmony
No regulations, just being free
Spring awoke softly from hibernation
Summer brought food for the next generation
In Autumn sucking up the last sunbeams
To fall asleep in winter and dream sweet dreams
Suddenly thousands of beetles in the rain
Then there was an unbearable pain
Pain in the roots, horrible sound
no more connection to the so loved ground

7. Twilight zone

A pleasent man steps up to greet you
He smiles and says he's pleased to meet you
Beneath his hat the strageness lies
Take it off, he's got three eyes
Truth is false and logic lost
Now the fourth dimension is crossed
You have entered the twilight zone
Beyond this world strange things are known
Use the key, unlock the door
See what your fate may have in store
Come explore your dreams creation
Enter this world of imagination
Strange tempting lights they seduce you right by now
Don't be afraid and let yourself go
Come on and feel free by cutting all your fears
Rely on your senses, your eyes and your ears

8. All the time...

All the time when I meet you
I'm so happy and I think you too
Didn't ask me if it all works out
We enjoy it, and that's what counts
No justification between me and you
Self-realisation is what we do
We're like a shampoo "two in one"
But stay independent, that's the fun
No justification, self-realisation...

9. Can't believe...

Sometimes I wish I could go back to that time
You'd tell me your secrets and I'd tell you mine
United forever, always frank
Can't believe that our friendship sank
More playing than learning whilst stuck in school
Anarchy seemed to be the only rule
Scratching insults to the desk
About the girl who always did best
We'd spent the day living in fantasy
Re-enacting scenes from a film we'd seen
Pretending we had supernatural powers
Simple things kept us occupied for hours

10. Close encounters

They've been watching us for years we never were alone
We are not the only one to call this universe our home
Don't look to the government, they cover up what's going on
The burn marks on the ground, those eye-witnesses can't all be wrong
It's just a matter of time before they land and say hello
Suddenly confirming and prooving to me the fact which I've always known
Will they help us with their problems, or turn us all into slaves
Will they help us to save our planet, or burn us all with their death-rays
Don't look...
Yes UFO's do exist
When they come for you don't resist

11. My guy

My guy he means rock'n'roll
All I have to do now
Is to take my own control
When he's falling down again
He always has to tell me why
My guy he means rock'n'roll
Oh my, all the time...
I say: "When you're down on your knees
You're very ruthless - you know
Come on can you tell me why?
Or did you ever say I'm sorry?
Oh no, you prefer to cry"

12. Pair of shoes

I don't know how to tell you
I no longer want to be with you
I hope that you'll understand
We can still be just good friends
No I don't belong to you
Like a pair of your shoes
No you'll never understand
My life's only in my hand
The last few years I only lived for you
I only did what you wanted me to
Your attitude really got me down
I've become tired of waiting around

13. The pickled gherkin

The pickled gherkin once had so much power
Long ago she was sweet, but now she's sour
Granny gherkin, oh wasn't she sweet
Pickled in honey all complete
She was so popular with all the fruits
She's been loved by potatoes, onions included
Granny smiled so lovely and nicely indeed
That even Mrs. Brown found her very neat
And every time when she tried to eat her
She felt sorry 'cause she was so sweat, yeah
"Oh no, oh no, I can't eat that gherkin
She looks so sweat, you know
I've got the whole garden full of gherkins
And I don't know what to do..."
"There are so many gherkins left in the field
Oh yes I know now what to do with it"
She pickled the gherkin in vinegar complete
It worked 'cause she no longer looked so sweet
Mrs. Browns idea was very witty
From now on she could eat gherkins
Without any pppppity!

14. Wake up

Please don't hang around waiting for somebody
Somebody who can't be found, wake up and look around
You think about the past times, but you're living now
Forget about the past times, it's time to let them go
There are more important things
Which can really make you sick
Think about it and you'll see
If you're always waiting you can't be free
Wake up, don't wait for help
Wake up and trust yourself
