Don't lay your love to waste 

Smell of golden leaves on her way back home,
Keep walking out in silence,
All those things she needs to know,
Will I be enough?

Will I be enough?
Raise your voice and shout your prayer
to this copper sky.
"Will my fire turn to dust?
Will my hope blow out to pieces,
Will my memories survive?"  
To every moment lost just wondering why,
I stand alone and lay my love to waste.  
Still recall those days when you told me

"hey, don't you know you're just a fool girl?".
Giving so much more than none can take,
Now leave this dying sunset.
Hold your breath and count to ten,
You may feel alright,
Far from everywhere, you say,
Locked up in your own shelter,
Scared to live again,  
Keep crying out your name,
Each day and night,
Don't let illusions lay your love to waste.

 

That brand new perfect tune

School did never bother me,

always on the run, 

“Study hard don’t waste your time” I knew it,

Dancing club they won’t fit my need for fun

No fads, no craze,

no rules to moan about, 

But everything was fine with me

until that crazy day,

A brand new song was playin’

And all I’ve ever wanted

from that moment ‘till today

Is chasing that sound,

playin’ around,

every day just screaming it all out, loud! 

Years went by and things have changed

but still I got that need,

Wondering what my whole life

could have been now

Hair grew longer,

no suit and tie for me,

But strings and wood became my world,

so won’t you come and see, 
And everything is fine with me

why don’t you understand,
A brand new world to live in
And though my life seems crazy

I don’t need no helping hand,
So listen to me,

making some noise,

  night and day we're rocking the house, down!

Funny, crazy lovely whiskey nights

Usual talk about life and more,

a shot of whiskey won’t bring us down,

Just the four of us good old guys and another night in town,

Down by the dining hall, can’t believe in what I see

Lovely lady stood there alone, pointing her eyes on me. 

"Gonna talk to her, check this out,
just a minute, she’ll be on board",

“Cut it out with your silly thoughts, I bet you won’t say a word”.

As I made my way to the bar and the Whiskey began to hit, Proudly showin’ her my best smile, barely standing on my feet,
I say “Don’t you know baby it ain’t no good,

spending nights on your own,

Won’t you let me show you something,
one thing that’s the best I can do.

From the spark in your eyes I saw, you were looking for love, and all night long I wanna hold you,
so tell me that you’re feeling it too.”

Things are getting nasty, and all my friends have gone away Bored, alone, and lost in thoughts, staring off to space,

Here he comes, it’s just insane, how he gets upon himself,

And my good luck, he’s almost drunk, I’d better call for help.

“Can’t you see you look crazy boy, just don’t tell me it’s alright

Got one minute to convince me,

you’re gonna be my lover tonight.

Got no spark in my eyes, you know, I’m just sick of your tales, 

So if you’re really good at something,

well show me that before it’s too late”. 

What a risible goof I made, and everybody now laughs at me,

Just one step and I hit the ground, greasy floor, it was to see.
Here you go, you can hold my hand, 

you look pretty on a second glance,

Still, you’re nice and I like your play,

so won’t you join me for some dance

“Don’t you know baby it ain’t no good,

Spending nights on your own,

Won’t you let me show you something, 

one thing that’s the best I can do.

From the spark in your eyes I saw, you were looking for love, and all night long I wanna hold you, 

so tell me that you’re feeling it too.”

The bear, the smart one, the dandy and the rockstar

Plopped down on the couch, drinkin iced cold beer,
that’s life, my dear!

My boots on the table, the TV’s near, time for some cheer

The match’s almost over, it’s five to eight, oh God I’m late!

No time for shower, my friends don’t like to wait.

This is city is too slow for a guy like me, that makes me sick

Spend most of my time on a driving seat, just let me be

The phone always ringing from nine to six, yeah nine to six

Everybody needs someone to feel the beat.

But when the music’s playing loud, it feels alright,

to  bring some noise when, people won’t see the light 

The crowd is all waiting for us to sing, that same old blues,

But when gig’s all over we’ve all got to pay our dues

My clothes look so fancy, my shoes shine bright,
they shine so bright!

Cool guy from the band this I cannot hide, no I won’t hide

The setlist down, I need more time, just some more time

But just as ev’r I’m pretty sure no one would mind

And when the music’s playing loud, it feels alright,

to bring some noise when, people won’t see the light

The crowd is all waiting for us to sing, that same old blues,

But when gig’s all over we’ve all got to pay our dues

The star for tonight puts his plaid shirt on, won’t move along

The talk of the town, he won’t sing a note, oh no no no!

He drove to the crossroads to sell his soul (yeah, sell his soul)

And a big flat tire is what he got in turn!

No more

Waking up this morning, looking all around
I don’t like what I see at all. 

Everyone is building, their castles in the sand,
trying to find their place to be
“Go ahead” they say, “smile and nod your head”,

everybody’s gonna love you

Keep on selling lies, to people who believe
that what you feel is what they want.

I don’t wanna play this melancholy game no more

I don’t wanna be the one to hide the pain no more

Maybe you should try, to be more flexible,
remember what we did for you 

Never say goodbye, to people you may need,
count to ten before you speak

Let your friends decide, what’s the best for you,
can't you see you're going crazy
Now I’m tired of waiting people who know better,
to tell me what I’ve got to do

I don’t wanna play this mind consuming game no more

I don’t want stand and wait the world to change no more

Have you ever felt so misunderstood,
when no one seem to care about you

Running up and down, I almost lost myself,
keep on movin' don't be late

Maybe this in not, the way I wanna live,
sorry I'm not gonna join you

Ain't no reason why, I should spend my time,

for something I don't want to do.

You better believe

You better believe that if you don't treat me right,
I'll put my spell on you
You better believe, and tell me no lies,

 'cause I got to know them too
You better believe I'm a mean mean woman,
you better believe it... or not?

You better be careful, I'm talking to you,
don't miss any word I say
You better be good, don't leave me alone,
you're gonna regret your ways
You better believe I got power babe,

you better believe it... or not?

You better don't know, that I'm just a good girl,
trying to get it through
You better believe that I got no fear
and always know what to do
You better believe it, or simply love me,

the way that I do love you

Les Nuits Blanches

Five o’clock I’m going home, rain just stops to fall,
Hear some children playing, running down the road.
Just wondering how, where it began, and how did I get here,
I’ve seen this place a thousand times but it all seems so unreal,
Faking smiles a poisoned soul pretends to be alive,
But everything just turns to stone,
you can’t save me from this dive.
It’s been so long, I have to tell, I don’t know where I’m going,
Walking down a crowded street, feeling so alone,
If only I refused to keep my feelings on the inside,
Maybe I could breath again, the tears I must have cried.
No memories, no love to share, no friends to call at night,
Thought it would be confortable to hide behind my pride.
Oh, tell me what I gotta do?
Maybe someday I’ll find the strength to face the world again,
Learning how to scream and laugh, and live the best I can.
Just tell me please, it’s not the end as my feelings fade away,
Dreamer’s disease that’s how they call, but I can’t feel no pain.
Believe me now, I can’t realize how did I come to this,
But I’ll trade my entire life for just one hour of bliss.
