The outskirts of town In the dank floors of our basement dirty Rita taught us games to play I´ll kiss yours, boys, if you likewise kiss mine but before we start you´ll have to pay Martha lived behind the mirrors of her mind her midget mother played the high-class game Walter stumbled thru´the words he could never find Ronnie always reached out his dirty hands for fame now - hear the rain fallin to the ground it´s the only sound in the outskirts of town hide - in the rooms of a lost-and-found all the hopes and the heartaches from the outskirts of town Jenny´s always been the heart of the party one sweet night I tried to make her mine sticked my tongue in her ear, but she quickly ran away when she told it to her mother I jumped the loser´s line Martha never found back from the maze of mirrors she and her mother left this life without a sound Peter jumped the gun, hit the hard times and faded away so I made up my mind and left the outskirts of town I left this tiny world tiny homes, tiny boys and girls knowing there´s a new horizon lucky, I was still alive - nearly executed as an outskirts´ misfit Solo running away, running away, running away, running away, running away, from the outskirts of town (repeat)

MORVAN sun is rising in the morvan, a world so old, a world so new we step outside, we close the door and take a walk in the morning dew the old oak trees in the morvan they sing their songs for you and me all we say and all we do, there´s always one more place to see I´ll take it all with me, we´ll dive into this old, new world, let it out, let it all out, let´s shine on to eternity! it´s true I´m worried now, I won´t be worried long it´s true I´m worried now, I won´t be worried long sane, sane, sane, I guess, now´s the time to start all over again it´s true I´m worried now, I won´t be worried long it´s true I´m worried now, I won´t be worried long sane, sane, sane, What if what I did was all in vain? somebody opens a door, won´t be a slave anymore Once when I started I went down to town concrete walls risin´up all´around drunken gods with the light in our eyes what went wrong? where are they now? sun is sinking on the morvan, a world so old, a world so new riding on to Avalon, we did survive, - just me and you

Father 05:49
lyrics

FAther Early in the morning on a rainy day in June longing for a glimpse of love in the house of lonely rooms feeel my inner garden watch them flowers grow bitter tears and salty years hem in my stony road kids are coming home from school glad they´re still alive nights of fear come much too soon in father´s empty eyes tried hard, couldn´t find it in the house of empty souls tried hard, couldn´t find it in the house of rock´n´ roll home is where the heart is,but where´s my heart tonight no embrace no tenderness, I always had to hide kid so weary so confused sadly turns away Listen to the saying every dog must have its day Really needed someone to stand right by my side I wanna know if I get my things right goin´, right goin´tonight Solo Father, can you see me, standing in the light, Father can you hear me on your radio tonight Feel how you have tortured me, father, hear me cry Feel how you mistreated me in that house of empty eyes Father can you see me stumblin´on in fright Father give me one more drink, I´m so thirsty, I´m so tired See my friends they play with me, standing by my side I wanna know if I get my things right goin´, right goin´tonight Son I know, I know you, Son I´ve seen you cry Son, my days now fade away, father did it right Father can you see me standing in the lights I´m so sure I get my things right goin´, right goin´ tonight!

Queen´s land 04:35

queen´s land you hold the card I spy the number twenty-four - much more than a slumber I was the train you were my station steam-powered by emotional starvation so where, where´s the answer keep on dancing, but I never was no dancer getting darker, hour by hour end of the age of steam power do you remember anemones adorned the stairways up to your throne the throne I built you stood too high in the clouds too high to reach you for a face in the crowd the king retired and the make up queen has pawned her crown for some worn-out jeans she´s in the kitchen fixing the old man´s tea dreams of trains coming home to the station queensland , kids on vacation I´ve been starving, you´ve been starving too I hold the card you spy the number might be the end of a slumber? same old station same old train what´s lost can it be regained ? Oh love might be the answer let´s dance, yes I´ve always been a dancer It´s getting brighter day by day Warm winds take the clouds away Anemones beautiful flowers will brighten our day will brighten our hours the throne has vanished and I´m sighing out loud as I spy your face in the crowd I see you dancing in your worn-out jeans the king´s retired and so has the queen and no more cards, no more numbers to be seen though we remember twenty-four we stay out on that dancing-floor and keep on dancing, dancing the night away

LIFE IS A MOTHER Sense your fingers on my skin here we should place some violins send the quivers way down my spine fill my glass, don´t spill my wine the cat´s away, the mice can play now soft and tender, mice can meow hush, now baby peek-a-boo mother shall not bother you life is a mother, are you far away from home? life is a mother, if she´s hard on you, better turn her into a song , Feel the life is here to stay, while mother´s not around Real life is here to play, softly, safe and sound life is a mother, are you far away from home? life is a mother, if she´s hard on you, better turn her into life ain´t like mother, always asking "where you´ve been?" Solo life is a mother, my life is a song, don´t let mother bother you, till the next day comes along, till the next day comes along, till the next day comes along, hey mother my life is a song! Sense your fingers on my ears feel the violins are near up my spine the snake is crawling roaring like a fireball life is a mother, are you far away from home? life is a mother, if she´s hard on you, better turn her into.... life is a mother, are you far away from home? life is a mother, if she´s hard on you, better turn her into a song ,

Brighton beach (revisited) Failed to meet you in the evening now you´re out of reach stranded on my own on Brighton beach memories floatin´thru´my head as the sun goes down memories keep on spinning round oh, how the years have flown away, faster as the wind still I can feel like yesterday the warmth of your silken skin lonely - now the beach is lonely - lonely as the night lonely - now the beach is lonely - lonely as the night I knew before I would not meet you after all those years yet I feel some salty tears you went your way I went mine now the curtain falls for a play that´s been well cast by the sea all of our love has been washed away, like castles made of sand all of our memories fade to grey, ooze away in the sand all those moments lost in wonder linger on in memories the Isle of Wight, the dunes the seagulls, all our day dream fantasies morning dew and dreams of heartache heaven´s just a tear away seagulls fly the waves are roaring memories now will fade to grey now the evening sun is sinking, drowning in the endless sea and the night it is approaching all thats left are memories oh, how the years have flown away, faster as the wind still I can feel like yesterday the warmth of your silken skin lonely - now I feel so lonely - lonely as the wind lonely - now I feel so lonely - lonely as the wind

THE KAHINI BROTHERS only the wasted can remain, and still they keep it all quite sane all their life in the cold and the rain but sometimes, you know, they´re lying say hello to the Kahini Brothers, you know in this world there are no others substitutes for those other guys, they don´t know who, and won´t care why always dancing the timeless waltz, they never hear the bluebirds call, sometimes forget the leaves that fall, you know it´s autumn time say hello to the Kahini Brothers, see them dance and sing like no others, they drove around many a mile, only wanna see you smile I know I will be one of your followers, honestly, I´ll be waiting for you in the cold and the rain Hello, Mr. Kahini, did you really see all them scenes yes, we´ve seen them come and go, what about to go with the flow? we´ve always danced the timeless waltz, sometimes heard the bluebirds call, always watched the leaves that fall every autumn time I know I will be one of your followers, honestly, I´ll be waiting for you in the cold and the rain 2 minutes, Mr. Kahini, get ready, for the show I step outside my door and I walk down thru´ the hallway waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, till I get the sign to go walk up on the stage that´s built up like a cage now they´ve turned the lights so low, hardly don´t know where to go see how they rage and say: we´re waiting for the Waves today what´s it all about? uh.... give them a hand -- the Kahinis,replacing the Waves tonight substitutes for those other guys, ...you know...? Fred Kahini is one of the brothers, Ned Kahini is the other and the two they don´t bother about time I know I will be a face in your crowd eternally

Hope 07:08

HOPE I know mankind is pretty young, we haven´t yet begun to show responsibility for this earth - our good ole mum! ...yet I´d like to think there´s hope for us and those to come, with all the life on this ole earth we could live as one! all of a sudden love came our way in this Spanish town, well they say every cloud it has a silver lining, far behind at distant shores lie the night mare scenes, radiated cities, we passed them one by one whereever I go, whatever I see, I don´t like the way, i´ts scaring me, I don´t like the way that science takes, they make what never ever should have been made whatever I do, whereever I turn, I ask myself whoever will learn to use all power and phantasy to free this world (oh, it got to be freed!) and I see so many faults in the past - remember - ...hope will die the last...! and I see so many faults in the past - remember - ...hope will die the last... ...so we ask ourselves: what can we do? Is there a way, is there an answer to the question how we manage to survive, how many of us will get out here alive? this part of the country it looks quite safe, it ´s full of mountains, full of caves, maybe we find a hideaway, a shelter from the storm, a temporary stay...? whereever I go, whatever I see, I don´t like the way, i´ts scaring me, I don´t like the way that science takes, they make what never ever should have been made whatever I do, whereever I turn, I ask myself whoever will learn to use all power and phantasy to free this world (oh, it got to be freed!) and I see so many faults in the past - remember - ...hope will die the last...! and I see so many faults in the past - remember - ...hope will die the last... solo
