1.	I will drive a long way to sit down on your stairs, the sunwarmed stone below me and time passing, who cares ...
2.	Looking at the green fields with little dots of snow and friendly hearts beside me there's nothing I need more.
Ref.: That's what good friends do ...
3.	I like to sit down in your kitchen and to listen to the sound of boiling water in the kettle by the fireside.
Ref.: That's what good friends do ...
4.	Sitting at your table The dog's warming my feet and the children's laughter is ringing through the fields.
5.	You simplify my thoughts things seem to get clear put chaos into order while drinking wine and beer ...

1.	The sky is crying the streets are full of tears Bombs are raining A boy is shouting out his fear
He dies for ‘justice’, he dies for justice.
2.	The lake of tears and fears the lake of tears and fears is growing fast, much too fast. \|: It takes his breath away :\|
He dies for ‘justice’, he dies for justice.
3.	A man 2000 years ago, taught us, ' love your enemy' be his friend, be his friend!
4.	\|: These simple words :\| are so difficult for us to understand, to understand ...

1.	I want to write a real quiet love song 'cause silent words can sound very strong in a silent place. I want to listen to my steel guitar, she and me in this room and you're so far away from me. \|: Oh, please love me, like I love you.:\|
Ref.:	I can remember your last glance, when you got out of my old car, your last kiss and last embrace You told me to set you free and now you 're free as you can be, but I tell you I don't want, to be free from you. I don't want to be free from you.
2.	You've gone away to look for foreign fields, You've gone away to find yourself in foreign lands. Maybe now in Caledonia, you're sitting there and feel the gentle touch, of the wind. \|:Oh please love me like I love you:\|

1.	A raven had his home in my old roof, He came here every year in may, And stayed a while in my old roof. I decided to make him a beautiful home I decided to make it so dry and warm. I repaired my roof and put hey in his nest I repaired my roof, it was a place to rest ...
Ref.:	Waited for the raven next year But the raven never came again Waited for the raven But he never came again Waited for the raven, But my raven never came again.
2.	I had some flowers in my unkempt garden They grew up wild and beautiful Their fragrant blossoms pink and red Were playing hide and seek in their abandoned bed. I decided to make their beauty seen So I moved the flowers from where they had been To a place where they can’t be ignored In a tended bed, right by my door.
Ref.:	Waited for the flowers next year, But the flowers never came again, .....
3.	I met you in a long train night The smooth compartment light was much too bright We fell asleep embraced and warm And didn’t want to think about the things to come. We decided to be more than good friends We decided to hold each others hands We built colourful castles in the air And dreamed a lot, we didn’t care ...
Ref.:	Now I fear, you like the flowers disappear Now I fear, you like the raven fly away Now I fear, now I fear you disappear .....

I'm a loser, I'm a loser with good cards in my hand

My Mama told me I was pretty cool,
Around about the age of three
Since then I lost my being cute
Soon after my virginity

My father said 'just hurry up
and get as educated as you can
Work hard and avoid girls and pubs
Be a respectable man!'

I'm a loser, I'm a loser with good cards in my hand

My life was one big opportunity
To build a future and get rich
But I successfuly ignored the signs
I'm on the back road to the ditch

You say I lost a lot of time
'cause I learned to play the guitar
Hanging 'round just writing lines
Strumming chords in smokey bars

Bridge: Perfect set of teeth, well built,
I'm 6 foot 4 with a rugged jaw,
winning smile, silver spoon,
my dad's rich and a corporate star

And if I crawl enough and lick somebody's arse,
I could wear the bosses hat,
the bosses hat, the bosses hat

I'm a loser, I'm a loser with good cards in my hand

So please could you tell me, if I am
Just a sad loser as you say

Why I get paid by people's shining eyes
That make me happy everyday

So system would you please be so kind
And stop talking in this futile way
You're boring, you just make my day
When I hear you say (that I'm a)

a loser .....

3.	Don’t say – it was fate me met, - it Happened we walk on the same side, of The stream and we don’t know Where to sleep and dream this night.

Ref.:	A storm that cuts the corn And the branches of the trees.
1.	I sing this song for a friend of mine he died so young in bloom He fell down With a smiling face completely drunk he was. And then he passed away like a golden ear in the summerfield And then he passed away like a tree not knowing it is felled! Not knowing it is felled!
2.	Mic you loved pulsating life you often drank four pints or five In the morning light dancing home thinking 'bout the gig you'd done And then you passed away like a golden ear in the summerfield And then you passed away like a tree not knowing it is felled! Not knowing it is felled!
Ref. + Break
3.	I love this life more and more and more each day But if I have to leave one day let me upright walk, on my feet I stay! And I don't want to go But if I have to let me fall like an ear in the field And I don't want to go But if I have to let me fall like a tree that is felled A tree that is felled!
