1. Wild Child
+++++++++++++
Don't hear the phone that rings
I know the fever's coming
God knows what life will bring
This Sunday morning
Sunday morning without a warning

Don't hear the neighbour scream
He thinks my house is burning
Well, life is good to me
This Sunday morning

She is a wild child
And her love turns a man insane
She is a wild child
And the love she makes rocks the mind off my brain

Don't hear the backdoor cracked
Don't see the cops are coming back
It's burning in my bed
This Sunday morning

She is a wild child
And her love turns a man insane
She is a wild child
And the love she makes rocks the mind off my brain

She's on fire


2. But The Best For You
+++++++++++++++++++++++
In the darkness of the room
I'm leaning back against the wall
Try to walk on broken glass
A cut so deep just hurts so bad

I remember what you said
Tears were rolling down your face
And after all's been said and done
You're a women, I'm a man
Could I turn back the time again

You must know by now
I won't let you down
Whatever comes along the way
Don't you agree that one thing is true
I'm not the best, but the best for you

And I step outside the door
Blinded by a million lights
In the valley of the fools
Another day went by so fast
What in the world will ever last

There's nothing else that we have got
But our love is like a rock
Standing up against the tide


3. Does Anyone Know
+++++++++++++++++++
Is this world out of control
Say what is right, what is wrong
Do I know this world at all
I think I do, but then I don't
I'm confused by what I see
I try to understand
But it makes no sense at all
I'm confused by what I feel
I thought that our love
Was something that is real

Does anyone know
The truth we're looking for
Can't find it anymore
Does anyone know
How to make me feel
For something that is real

So many things that I recall
When we were young just flying high
Can we turn our fate at all
I wish we could, say don't you cry
I'm confused by what I hear
Girl, is seems to me
We're losing after all
I'm confused by what I feel
I thought that our love
Was something that is real

Does anyone know
The truth we're looking for
Can't find it anymore
Does anyone know
How to make me feel
For something that is real

Another day has just begun
Life goes on there's no return
How can I trust anyone
When honesty is such a dirty word


4. Stone In My Shoe
+++++++++++++++++++
I keep on dancing on the roof
Try not to fall, stay in the groove
A step too far. I'm out of place
Life beats you up some of these days

Just like a whisper there's a voice
Inside of me
It's sayin' you ain't got a choice
Well, can't you see

When your world comes tumbling down
You better find a way around

I keep on walking in the clouds
To find out what life is all about
I keep on running away from here
To learn the grass ain't greener there

Just like a whisper there's a voice
Inside of me
It's sayin' you ain't got no choice
As you can see

When your world comes tumbling down
You better find a way around
Cause noone else but you
Can find the stone inside your shoe

Keep rockin' in the street
Keep landing on my feet
Keep runnin' on and on
Still play my favourite blonde
Keep rockin' mother earth
Just all around the world
These days mean safer sex
Get my survival pack
My orgasm isn't faked
Ooh, Lord I need a break
And what's annoying, too
Is that damn thing in my shoe
Ooh, there is a stone in my shoe


5. Soul Behind Face
+++++++++++++++++++
Would you care for me
If I was deaf and blind
Would you hear my voice
If I was always quiet
Would you hold my hand
If I was going to fall
Would you cry for me
Would you know my name at all

Would you be there
If I was on the ground
Would you be my friend
If no one was around
Would you hold me close
If I was in the cold
Would you pray for me
Would you know my name at all

Would you care
Would you be there
For the soul behind the face
Would you love me for what I am


6. Oh Girl (I Wanna Be With You)
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Away for a long time but never gone
So many good times I recall
Forgive me that I've been kind of blind
I've been running away most of my life

Girl I wanna be with you
It's no one else it's only you
Oh girl I wanna stay with you
With no one else and just with you

I was lost for a long time couldn't find myself
The cry for love was the cry for help
Forgive me that I've been so untrue
The one who saved me has been always you

Oh girl I wanna be with you
It's no one else it's only you
Oh girl I wanna stay with you
With no one else and just with you
With no one else and just with you

Life's been dancing on a razorblade
I had my share of love and hate
Well, after all I found myself
Cause it's you who makes me live
It's only you who can forgive

Away for a long time but never gone
Sometimes life just takes the long way home
You're still the one I'm dreaming of
Cause when your heart is talkin'
You know it's love


7. When You Came Into My Life
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
You give me your smile
A piece of your heart
You give me the feel
I've been looking for
You give me your soul
Your innocent love
You are the one
I've been waiting for
I've been waiting for
We're lost in a kiss
A moment in time
Forever young
Just forever
Just forever in love

When you came into my life
It took my breath away
Cause your love has found its way
To my heart

You make me dream
By the look in your eyes
You give me the feel I've been longing for
Oh I wanna give you my soul
All my life
Cause you are the one I've been waiting for
I've been waiting for
So long

When you came into my life
It took my breath away
And the world stopped turning round
For your love


8. Where The River Flows
++++++++++++++++++++++++
Under suburban sky
Where life is bleeding
Where concrete skies are grey
There's plenty of room for dreaming

I still keep coming here
Follow those traces
I travel back in time
Remember all those places
Feels like I never left
The house's still standing
Down by the river where
The dreams of never ending

You find me, you find me
You find me by the river
You find me, you find me
You find me where the river flows

Under the silent moon
This industrial city
Is heartland even though
Life's been not that pretty
I still keep coming here
To that old river
To find my roots just where
The future lives forever

You find me, you find me
You find me by the river
You find me, you find me
You can find me

By the river where dreams will never die
By the river under suburban sky

By the river where dreams have never die
By the river I look through children's eyes

You find me, you find me
You find me by the river
You find me, you find me
You find me where the river flows


9. Time Will Call Your Name
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++
They're days that make you fly
They're days you wanna cry
Sometimes the walls come tumbling down
They're moments in the dark
When pain just floats your heart
And you surrender one more time

Take a walk out in the rain
With every drop that falls
You know the sun will shine again

They're days you're naturally high
They're days you wanna die
Sometimes your world goes down in flames
They're moments deep in love
But when it breaks you heart
You just surrender one more time

Take a walk out in the rain
With every step you make
You learn that life means constant change

Tomorrow's all that counts
As life goes round and round
You gotta draw the line
Goodbye yesterday
Tomorrow's all that counts
As life goes round and round
And if you keep the faith
Time will call your name

Take a walk out in the rain
With every breath you take
You feel your soul is free again


10. You And I
+++++++++++++
I lose control because of you babe
I lose control when you look at me like this
There's something in your eyes
That is sayin' tonight
I'm not a child anymore life has opened the door
To a new exciting life

I lose control when I'm close to you babe
I lose control don't look at me like this
There's something in your eyes
Is this love at first sight
Like a flower that grows
Life just wants you to know
All the secrets of life

It's all written down in your lifelines
It's written down inside your heart

You and I just have a dream
To find our love a place
Where we can hide away
You and I were just made
To love each other now
Forever and a day

I lose control because of you babe
I lose control don't look at me like this
There's something in your eyes
That is saying tonight
I'm so curious for more just like never before
In my innocent life

It's all written down in your lifelines
It's written down inside your heart

You and I just have a dream
To find our love a place
Where we can hide away
You and I were just made
To love each other now
Forever and a day

Times stands still
When days of innocence are falling for the night
I love you girl I always will
I swear I'm there for you till the day I die


11. Are You The One?
++++++++++++++++++++
Another rainy morning
People rushing by
My head is still in the clouds
I dream with open eyes
Suddenly out of nowhere
She came into my life
Like we know each other
For quite a while

In the sound of silence
Time is standing still
There's some kind of bond between us
It's giving me the chance
Do you really wonder
That we can burn the sky
It's written a thousand years ago
In the book of life

Are you the one that God had made for me
Are you the one who's always in my dreams
The one who keeps me going
When I can't go on
The one that I've been waiting for
For so long

Suddenly out of nowhere
She came into my life

Are you the one that God had made for me
Are you the one who's always in my dreams
Are you the one that God had made for me
Are you the one who's mine eternally
The one who keeps me dreaming
When I am sad and tired
Who gives my life a meaning
Till the day I die
Are you the one?
