Fame
Can have strange effects
Money
Can have strange effects

I ask myself
Is it a sin
To be flexible
When the boat comes in

Open the window and out go ideals

Drink
Can alter you
Girls
Can have strange effects, too

We all know boats don’t last
We all know cars are fast

There’s something beating here inside my body
And it’s called a heart
You know how easy it is
To tear it apart
If I lend it to you
Will you keep it safe for me
I’ll lend it to you
If you treat it tenderly
There’s something beating here inside my body
And it’s called a heart

There’s a sun shining in the sky
But that’s not the reason why
I’m feeling warm inside
The answer isn’t classified, it’s my heart
From the moment I started
I tried to be goodhearted
Yes I tried my best
And more or less
I spoke from my heart

There’s a lot to be learnt
And you learn when you heart gets burnt

Hearts could never be owned
Hearts only come on loan
If I want it back
I will take it back, I’ll take my heart
But I will try my best and more or less
I will speak from my heart
Yes I will speak from my heart
Speak from my heart

Death is everywhere
There are flies on the windscreen
For a start
Reminding us
We could be torn apart
Tonight

Death is everywhere
There are lambs for the slaughter
Waiting to die
And I can sense
The hours slipping by
Tonight

Come here
Kiss me
Now
Come here
Kiss me
Now

Death is everywhere
The more I look
The more I see
The more I feel
A sense of urgency
Tonight

Come here
Touch me
Kiss me
Touch me
Now
Touch me
Touch me

There are flies on the windscreen
There are lambs for the slaughter
There are flies on the windscreen

Come here
Touch me
Kiss me
Touch me
Now
Touch me
Touch me

My little girl
Won’t you come with me
Come with me
Tell me

Is there something to do

I’m going crazy with boredom
Come with me
Tell me

Grey sky over a black town
I can feel depression
All around
You’ve got your leather boots on

I can’t stand another drink
It’s surprising this town
Doesn’t sink
You’ve got your leather boots on

Your pretty dress is oil stained
From working too hard
For too little
You’ve got your leather boots on

You’re feeling the boredom too
I’d gladly go with you
I’d put your leather boots on
I’d put your pretty dress on

Come on and lay with me
Come on and lie to me
Tell me you love me
Say I’m the only one

Experiences have a lasting impression
But words once spoken
Don’t mean a lot now
Belief is the way
The way of the innocent
And when I say innocent
I should say naive
So lie to me
But do it with sincerity
Make me listen
Just for a minute
Make me think
There’s some truth in it

Promises made for convenience
Aren’t necessarily
What we need
Truth is a word
That’s lost its meaning
The truth has become
Merely half-truth
So lie to me
Like they do it in the factory
Make me think
That at the end of the day
Some great reward
Will be coming my way

People are people
So why should it be
You and I should get along so awfully

So we’re different colours
And we’re different creeds
And different people have different needs
It’s obvious you hate me
Though I’ve done nothing wrong
I’ve never even met you so what could I have done

I can’t understand
What makes a man
Hate another man
Help me understand

Help me understand

Now you’re punching
And you’re kicking
And you’re shouting at me
I’m relying on your common decency
So far it hasn’t surfaced
But I’m sure it exists
It just takes a while to travel
From your head to your fists

I am happy
That I have you
Even though you’re not here now
I know somewhere
You are dreaming
Though it’s definitely not of me

It doesn’t matter
If all this shatters
Nothing lasts forever
But I’m praying
That we’re staying
Together

I am warmed
By your friendship
Even when you’re far away
And I’m happy
In the knowledge
We may never see the day

When I kiss you
And you kiss me
Don’t pretend you miss me
The worst kind
Of diseases mind
Is on filled with jealousy

If we should meet again
Don’t try to solve the puzzle
Just lay down next to me
And please don’t move a muscle

I will thank you
Most of all for
The respect you have for me
I’m embarrassed
It overwhelms me
Because I don’t deserve any

Take a look at unselected cases
You’ll find love has been wrecked
By both sides compromising
Amounting to a disastrous effect

You hear stories of old
Of princes bold
With riches untold
Happy souls
Casting it all aside
To take some bride
To have the girl of their dreams
At their side
But not me
I couldn’t do that
Not me
I’m not like that

I couldn’t sacrifice
Anything at all
To love

I really like you
I’m attracted to you
The way you move
The things you do
I’ll probably burn in hell
For saying this
But I’m really in heaven
Whenever we kiss
But Oh no!
You won’t change me
You can try
For an eternity

I wouldn’t sacrifice
Anything at all
To love

Now I’ve got things to do
You have too
And I’ve got to be me
You’ve got to be you
So take my hand
And feel these lips
And let’s savour a kiss
Like we’d savour a sip
Of vintage wine
One more time
Let’s surrender
To this love divine

But we won’t sacrifice
Anything at all
To love

I want somebody to share
Share the rest of my life
Share my innermost thoughts
Know my intimate details
Someone who’ll stand by my side
And give me support
And in return
She’ll get my support
She will listen to me
When I want to speak
About the world we live in
And life in general
Though my views may be wrong
They may even be perverted
She will hear me out
And won’t easily be converted
To my way of thinking
In fact she’ll often disagree
But at the end of it all
She will understand me

I want somebody who cares
For me passionately
With every thought and with every breath
Someone who’ll help me see things
In a different light
All the things I detest
I will almost like
I don’t want to be tied
To anyone’s strings
I’m carefully trying to steer clear
Of those things
But when I’m asleep
I want somebody
Who will put their arms around me
And kiss me tenderly
Though things like this
Make me sick
In a case like this
I’ll get away with it

There’s a new game
We like to play you see
A game with added reality
You treat me like a dog
Get me down on my knees

We call it master and servant
We call it master and servant

It’s a lot like life
This play between the sheets
With you on top and me underneath
Forget all about equality

Let’s play master and servant
Let’s play master and servant

It’s a lot like life
And that’s what’s appealing
If you despise that throwaway feeling
From disposable fun
Then this is the one

Domination’s the name of the game
In bed or in life
They’re both just the same
Except in one you’re fulfilled
At the end of the day

Let’s play master and servant
Let’s play master and servant

Let’s play master and servant
Come on master and servant
