CYGNET TO CYGNET

Oh, I have seen the strong turn frail,
insufficiency turn their once proud cheeks pale
And I have seen the fruitless love of cygnets down the bay
and how the younger make their way with
a little help from their friends

And I, I have heard of how the cygnets cry,
I wonder how, how to make her cry that way
- Oh,Say can I make You shake like cygnets shake, when cygnets break?
-Can it ever be the same?

Oh,
it is still not long ago
that I believed in wages of sin an so
And She,
such a wicked androgyne
So maybe should I strike her on her chin
or should I cut her head in two...
-Yes, that´s what I ought to do...

´Cause I
I have heard of how the cygnets cry,
I wonder how, how to make her cry that way
- Oh Say, can I make you shake
like cygnets shake, when cygnets break?
-Can it ever be the same?
'Cause I, I have heard the sound
But when she leans against my shoulder I know nothing can be stronger
so I don´t see why i worry...
-I just can´t stand the thought of that sound, aww, that sound...

-But Hey, Hey, I saw her yesterday
and i never felt my heart take a leap that way
Now, I must no more waste my time
Now i´m gonna push it up her spine
I´m gonna make her weep and whine,
-All because I love her...

´Cause I
I have heard of how the cygnets cry,
I wonder how, how to make her cry that way
- Oh,Say can I make You shake
like cygnets shake, when cygnets break?
-Can it ever be the same?

'Cause I, I have heard the sound!

OPERA

Who will give a dolla’
For a really lucky fella
Who gets kissed under umbrella?

And who´s got time for fatsos
Who´s a-singing ’bout pajazzos
-Oh, is that art. Oh, is that so?

Maybe what dies aint supposed to live
Maybe you’ve given
What you had to give to me
Why You’re acting so unnaturally,
Is that your only way to be?

Now is it really fun to say
"Lets do it in a modern way"
When the longeurs is the stinkin’ same?
It’s such a massive overload
You don’t have to be wise and old
To see this boat is sinkin, ey?

Maybe what dies aint supposed to live
Maybe you’ve given
What you had to give to me
Why You’re acting so unnaturally,
Is that your only way to be?

Houp, houp, houp-la! Op-op-op-op-opera!

Now look out on the streets
There is energy and heat and
Some friends i’d like you all to meet
It’s a crowd that longs for shows
Overacting, overdoze, Extra-fancy-ganza!

So, maybe you still got some time to live
Maybe you still have got something to give to me
-But i tell You to impress me
You must improve your fantasy

Houp, houp, houp-la! Op-op-op-op-opera!

Houp, houp, houp-la! Op-op-op-op-opera!


POWER TO CHANGE

It's at last a new day, spacy clothes and feather boas are lying on the floor
wish i could buy a new face so i could walk the streets and no one noticed me at all
Ain't got no radar, Nowhere to crash If i go on like this i sure ain´t gonna last

Lord give me the power to change when i realize i turn into something that i hate
Lord give me the power to change when i realize i turn into something that i aint

And then you brought me new friends and you should know that i've been so thankful for them all
but they all took me sideways cause i never wanna to be anybodys superman at all..
no you see, I'm only human I make mistakes I'm not the devil but i sure ain`t no saint

Oh lord give me the power to change when i realize i turn into something that i aint
Oh lord give me the power to change when i realize i turn into something that i aint
Lord give me the power to change [When he realise now that you're gonna change your ways] Lord..
And look me down!

Strike me,hang me,hit me, Please!!!
I'm serious this time..!

I've got the gift to make people less afraid
its time I use it for something else then getting laid

Lord! Give me the power to change when i realize i turn into something that i hate
Lord! Give me the power to change when i realize i turn into something that i aint

Lord! Gimme the power to change!

Realize now that you gotta change your ways! Lord!

Yeah..I say Lord, I say Lord...
I say change, change...!!!!


SIAMESE CENTERFOLD

In my dreams I have seen
tales beyond the extreme,
in the land of the obscene
some find shelter.
God gave back his sanity clause
- get your friend a dress with claws
and holes to show the flaws
- Oh, he's writing another lovesong.

Pardon me, I don't wanna see,
siamese centerfold's buzzing me.
Oh no, I don't wanna know
no siamese freakshow, no.

Mummy nun, policeman stunts
clockwork writing hard-on songs
and curly tales with nothing on,
- Maybe I'm getting old.
Don't wanna know where it's done,
Don't wanna know what songs they've sung,
just wanna wake up and be happy
that I'm still young.

Pardon me, I don't wanna see,
siamese centerfold's buzzing me.
Oh no, I don't wanna know
No siamese freakshow, no

Pardon me, I don't wanna see,
siamese centerfold's buzzing me.
Oh no, I don't wanna know
What's going on below
downstairs at the siamese floorshow.

Pardon me, I don't wanna see,
siamese centerfold's buzzing me.
Oh no, I don't wanna know
No siamese freakshow, no


Pardon me, I don't wanna see,
siamese centerfold's buzzing me.
Oh no, I don't wanna know
No siamese freakshow, no

Pardon me, I don't wanna see,
siamese centerfold's buzzing me.
Oh no, I don't wanna know
No siamese freakshow, no


I've never felt such great distress
but the lowest crime can become success.
Who else would call them lover, say?
Who else would put their back so straight?
But oh, the girl she said she came for the dancin'...

THE GLAD YEAH

I've got something inside me and i know that it´s good
and its not about the way i act or the way i look

and its not about the quantity of people who wants to sleep with me
oh no, its all in the heat that makes me feel good

and you can tell me i'm wrong, but i will still sing this song
'cause i've waited so long for the sun to come on in my marrow

and now i'm glad yeah, now i'm glad, yeah, now i'm glad
and i know that can't be bad

Yes now i'm glad yeah, yes now i'm glad, yeah, now i'm glad
and i know that can't be bad

Well i look to the left and i look to the right and then i go straight
ahead 'cause neither seems right oh boy, what do they know about the heat

'Cause it's a constant struggle to get things right while corporate jerks try to
steal my shine oh boy, so why don't we take it to the streets

And if they tell you you're wrong, you tell them i can't be wrong
'cause i'm not doing this for you, im doing it to be true to my body

And now i'm glad yeah,yes now i'm glad, yeah, now i'm glad
and i know that can't be bad

'cause now i'm glad yeah, yes now i'm glad, yeah, now i'm glad
and i know that cant be bad

You know its all about glad yeah! Yeah yeah
Now I'm glad and I know that can't be bad..!!!!


THE HOMECOMER

The Homecomer
with a sun-tan
smoking cigarettes from another land
that look so neat
and smell so sweet
Funny how the kids all dressed up and fine
are standing in a line
so the homecomer can say
they look so sweet,
mesasure them from head to feet

The Homecomer
with a strawhat
showing colour-slides of a viper and a bat
and where to go
and where it's at
Sitting drinking wine with the grown-ups by the fire
telling all night 'bout the places he's been
and the people there
Oh, the kids would love to hear
so they sneak up near

And..

I'll come home
with a mind of my own
and a rucksack full of secrets I can show
While everyone tries to picture
what the homecomer's eyes have seen
The Homecomer
is what I always wanted to be

The Homecomer
with a strawhat
finds his way without a map
on the countryside
or in London town
Looking at the children
with love in his face
telling them softly
When I was your age
I longed to be
someone like me

The Homecomer
with a sun-tan
touches his own face
with the hands of a man
somethings has changed
he's not the same
after an appointment
with a very old friend
all good days must come to an end
so he goes to bed
and he closes his eyes

And...

I'll come home
with a mind of my own
and a rucksack full of secrets I can show
While everyone tries to picture
what the homecomer's eyes have seen
A Homecomer
is what I always wanted to be

I'll come home
with a mind of my own
and a rucksack full of secrets I can show
While everyone tries to picture
what the homecomer's eyes have seen
A Homecomer
is what I always wanted to be.

TOPSY KAISER

Hail be men of action
a men who can tell
right from wrong
and he brings a brand new song
he makes a joyful sound
blessed is he who gets around

hail be laughing mankind
and the ones who dare
to cry loud too
and he knows just what to do
he knows nothing at all
blessed is he who's strong when small

only sin is to say life is
not in my hand
who said we can't make
all of them understand?
Speak it out, speak out loud
'cause you know what you want,
what you want is real
don't let anyone put labels on your hand
don't let anyone say
that's already said
we are young and at last
we all know what we want
what we want is steel.....

freedom is obeying
The dictates of your own regime
freedom is to trust that you're doing
what you must according to your lust
hail be laughing mankind
and the ones who dare
to cry loud too
and he knows just what to do
and he knows nothing at all
blessed is she who's strong when small

only sin is to say life is not in my hand
who said we can't make
all of them understand
Speak it out, speak outloud
'cos you know what you want
and what you want is real
don't let anyone put labels on your hand
don't let anyone say that's already said
we are young and at last we all know
what we want
and what we want is steel.....

Oh, freedom is obeying the dictate of your own regime
freedom is to trust that you're doing
what you must
according to your lust lust lust..
hail be men of action
oh men who can tell
right from wrong
and he who brings a brand new song
he who makes a joyful sound
blessed is she who gets around
blessed is she who's strong when small
blessed is she who gets around
don't you know we want steel
steel STEEL STEEL!!!
