Too late


I love my friends But theres one thing I really hate. No matter what they do Theyre always too late. Too late for school, too late for a train. Too late for work, too late for a game. No matter what I say. I always have to wait.
They keep me waitin', I'm always waitin'. Too late for a train, too late for a game. Too late, too late. I love my friends. But they always want to stay. Before the partys over. They wont go away. They stay in a bar, they stay in bed. They stay up all night, its so sad. No matter what I say. They wont go away. They keep me waiting, all night long. But theyre my friends, they cant do wrong.

Calamity


Oh God, what have I done, too many whiskey. Ive had lots of fun, I didn't know his name. Good lookin boy, asked me to dance. Didnt know why, but of course I took the chance. Music everywhere, I didnt care. And it goes around and around, around and around .... Could this be love (3x). I think Im in love. He was sweet, tough, rough, cool. Gentle and handsome, and bit of a fool. He was everything, everything. Whiskey slowly took over my mind. Suddenly we were kissing outside. And it goes around and around, around and around ... Could this be love (3x) I think Im in love. He opened his eyes, they were spinning around. My heart became ice and I smacked to the ground. His hands everywhere, looking for my gold. Didnt care, giving my shot. What have I done.

Perfect lovesong


I lay back in your chair. And watch the sunrise through your window. I didn't get much sleep. So I can watch, when your eyes go open wide.
It must be love. Sometimes I think Maybe I don't deserve your tender kisses. So I push you away from me, Oh, I don't recognize myself. It must be love. For ever yours is lovely, I can tell everyone what you mean to me. Oh yes, I'm so naïve, That I don't want to hear what my mommy says. I know for sure, I can trust you, ooohowow. So I feel just as happy, Tears are not necessary. It must be love. It must be love.

Sleeping


I wake up, to see that you are gone
I cry, and close my eyes, my dreams keep going on. I want to sleep all day, I want my dreams to stay. I wake up and realize, Ive never felt so alone. I cry and close my eyes, my dreams keep going on. I want to sleep all day, I want my dreams to stay. Flying on my thoughts to heaven, disappearance of my mind.
The emptiness is so devine, when I wake up it feels like dying. So only when I sleep I will stay alive. A week later you come back. Im sleeping like youve never been gone.
I wake up and open my eyes, this time my life goes on. I show you the door. I dont need nobody anymore.
Im breathing in and feel alive, my mind has never been this clean. Im jumping in this whole new life and it will never be the same!

Dear Bastard


Dear bastard, do you think I'm blind
I didn't believe my eyes, Im sick of your games
I never wanna see you again, go home, go to mama. You ruin everything in my life, you're pathetic. My friends say: "Throw him out!"
But I can't bear the emptiness inside of me.
I can't eat, I cant drink, youre such a fucking filthy dog. I wished Id never met you, so go ahead and lie again. But you can never lie to me, so please just set me free. So dont give me that shit, ‘cause I dont care a bit. My friends say: "Throw him out!". But I can't bear the emptiness inside of me. I dont think its so strange, the things that men do, when theyre drunk. They gamble, fight or cheat, and talk about the girls, as if theyre meat. Well I dont wanna fight anymore. So when I see you, I shut my door.
So dont give me that shit, ‘cause I dont care a bit. Dear bastard, dear asshole, dear dog,
I wish you were here. When you bring me flowers
Ill forgive you...

Happy dead


Ive tried to live a happy life. Im trying to be a lovely wife. The world keeps coming after me
‘till I find you, I wont be free.But you know me and I know you. So I know you feel the way I do. No matter what it takes, Im gonna make you mine. No one can make me feel, the way you feel, so fine. Im trying to live like everyone. Im trying not to kill someone. The world turns on every day, every year. And Ill be found in a bar with a beer. I know that you are out somewhere. And some day I will find you there. The day that you make me your wife.
Will be the last day of my life. ‘cause when we have the yes-word said. I will die a happy dead.

Stronger


Im sitting here, in my dark room. And I wonder why Im here. I stare at the wall. With in my hand a cup of coffee. I walk away, with my make-up on. And I throw the coffee away. I look at myself. I've never thought I could be happy. I feel the love, its coming straight from you. I feel the warmth, its burning straight from you. Never looking back, its not easy to forget. Im stronger, then ever before. Its cold outside, my face is red. The rain is falling down. Dont care at all, because love is the flame. Run through the streets, with my hands up high, and I sing a song for us. Dont care what they say, I live my life anyway. I feel the love, its coming straight from you. I feel the warmth, its burning straight from you. Never looking back, its not easy to forget. Im stronger, then ever before.

Get sick


Get sick of all things I have to do. Get tired of all things I have to do. Every day its the same, every week its the same. Feed the pets, and clean the house again. Wash my clothes and get them dry again. Every day the same damn dishes,
Every day a meal to cook. Dont care ‘bout my house, dont care ‘bout my pets. Dont care ‘bout my love tonight, I just wanna forget. So now Im gonna drink, now Im gonna dance. Now I smoke until I think the world is in my hands. Im drinkin every beer and whiskey they have got. Im playing with the mans mind, they think Im very hot. I dance around, I scream so loud, I talk to everyone. I dont care what they say, Im having fun! Im falling on the dance floor, I stumble and get up. A man is trying to kiss me, I tell him to fuck off. Now Im feeling happy, now Im feeling free. Please shut up everyone, just let me be me!
So now Im gonna drink, now Im gonna dance. Now I smoke until I think the world is in my hands.

Daydream


Got a feeling its strange, I cant place it in my head. Or must I follow my heart, is it about you and me. Is it the passion I dont want to see. Blizzards everywhere, like a storm in my head. I cant live like this, I see in the distance, it all fly away. Wanna come out of the deep, Want to come out of the dark.
Save my thoughts. Hunters everywhere, shooting at my head. Im dreaming on a cloud, wondring where I am. When I move, I know Im going to fall. Youre standing there to catch me again
Youre always on my side, youre always on my side. You are everywhere, you are in my head
You are everywhere, you are in my head.

25


Shes on her way home, singin songs in the rain. She counts the trees, every day is the same. Wishes she was 25, Then she would know how to drive, singin in her car, Dont care about thunder and rain. She drives to school, every mornin too late There isnt a teacher, she doesnt hate Wishes she would soon get grown, Then she would live on her own She had a job, lots of money. And went out really late. She kisses goodbye, and the boy walks away. She loves him so much, she would want him to stay. Wishes she was 25, then she would be his wife Kissing and loving each other, any time of the day. My car broke down, on the way to work. Had a fight with my friend, sometimes hes a jerk Here I am at 25, I want to change my life. I never thought, I would want to be 15 again.

Never know


I never know, what to decide. Am I wrong, or is it right. I'm so afraid, to choose the wrong way
Shall I go or do you want me to stay. I never know what first to do. Put on my right or my left shoe. To paint the wall, or first the door.
Shall I brush my teeth, or comb my hair before. I can't decide, which socks to wear. Shall I sit here, or over there. These little things, drive me mad. Am I tired or am I sad. There's not one thing, I know for sure. Is this all, or is there more. Will I get drunk, or shall I drive. I hate to choose, I want it all in my life. The one thing that I know, I love you so. Though, I may not always show.
