Keep me in your heart tonight – May the stars keep shining bright – I hope this night will not slip away – Wishing it could last another day – Sit with me – here for a while – Tell me stories from when you were a child – I will listen - I will take time - Just to heal your aching heart – You will always have my song – You will always have my song – I could be here forever with you Let the seasons just come and go – And I will sing to you while you sleep – And give you words & my soul to keep Sit with me – here for a while – Tell me stories from when you were a child – I will listen - I will take time - Just to heal your aching heart – You will always have my song – You will always have my song – You will always have my song – You will always have my song - Keep me in your heart tonight – May the stars keep shining bright –

Don't Give It Up 03:50
lyrics
buy track
I TRIED TO CONTROL WHO I AM. I'M MORE THAN YOU WANTED ME TO BE. EACH TIME I LAY BARE WHAT'S WITHIN I KNOW THAT IN YOU, LOVE, I CANNOT CONFIDE. THIS IS SUCH PRECIOUS TIME. I JUST CANNOT GIVE IT UP. I GOT TO SLIP INTO MY TIME. LIVE IN THE PRESENT. STEP OUTSIDE & BREATHE. DON'T GIVE IT UP, NOW. DON'T GIVE IT UP, NOW. DON'T GIVE IT UP. GIVE WHAT'S IN YOUR HEART.

Life As It Should Be 03:18
lyrics
buy track
I woke up in the dark, It's hard to see how week I am. Through this emptiness I'll let you drive For a while. Well I had to let it go I thought I was on my own but I guess I'm going to stay While the melody remains In my head Turn that music on Let it fill All our holes. Let it make our lives As they were Meant to be... Well I had to let it go I thought I was on my own but I guess I'm going to stay While the melody remains In my head Life as it should be...

For All I Know (You Take My Breath Away) 04:43
lyrics
buy track
I saw you on Monday Loved you on Tuesday Wednesday broke my heart Thursdays madness Made my Friday dark Saturday: youre back I think youd know by now Your beauty makes me shiver I cannot hold it back For all I know, you shake my world. And the summer In your misty eyes Melts the ice in mine. I think youd know by now Your beauty makes me shiver I cannot hold it back For all I know, you shake my world. Theres a moon trying to copy all your features Theres a wind trying to blow away this love Ill stick to this tune While youre eyes are on me For all I know: you take my breath away.

My Robots Love Me 03:54
lyrics
buy track
It occurred to me some time ago That your love just wasn't going to last There was something wicked in your smile. So I planed it all right from the day one, And I started working right away To be ready when the moment comes... I tried to make you love me, girl I tried to make you understand I tried to sync your heart with mine But you were busy wandering round. Now even if you run away and break my heart in two I don't mind You see: My Robots Love Me It took me some time to figure out How to replicate your face and arms, The heat in your cheeks, the way you laugh. After many months the job was done, So I went to bed and prayed to God For His Alchemy to wake them up... I tried to make you love me, girl I tried to make you understand I tried to sync your heart with mine But you were busy wandering round. Now even if you run away and break my heart in two I don't mind You see: My Robots Love Me I woke up in the middle of the night Heard a little breathing down the stairs You know, I could not believe my eyes... Now I've got an Army just like you Just to keep me warm when you're away, You couldn't tell the difference yourself... I tried to make you love me, girl I tried to make you understand I tried to sync your heart with mine But you were busy being admired. Now even if you run away and break my heart in two I don't mind You see: My Robots Love Me

Love me back again I need you to love me back again You know, it's only been 2 days Since you took all that love away but if i don't have you again I just might go insane ooh... Hold me once again Why don't you hold me once again? I only had you 19 days but it's like you never been away It seems like I never really lived without your angel face... ooh... Love me back again... Love me back again... Come into my arms I want you to come into my arms I wanna feel your trembling shape crumbling down beneath my weight for there's a halo of forever down your precious skin... ooh... Love me back again Love me back again... ooh...

Clarity 04:10
lyrics
buy track
did I ever tell you everything will be ok? yeah, everything will flow? was I ever unaware of all the dangers on the road? well, let me say that I´m not so sure ´cause all of my faith has left me again but yet there´s a chance I can get that clarity in your face is it wrong if I declare my brutal need of you? how does it sound to you? when confussion spreads its wings and my perfection falls apart I realise that i´m not alone... ´cause all of my faith has left me again but yet there´s a chance I can get that clarity in your face

Monster Love 03:38
lyrics
buy track
Don’t blame it on me: your skin is so fresh. I wanna do with you this puzzle of flesh. However you may roll just roll over me, ‘cause every time we touch you set my soul on fire. Such a Monster Love, such a monster love. What you’re doing to me It’s monstrous. it’s monstrous. And I love it so. I wanna bite your waist, go mad in your smell I’d live inside of you until the world ends. I wanna sign my name on your belly and legs ‘cause every time we kiss you set my soul on fire. Such a monster love…

Funny Way To Die 03:19
lyrics
buy track
all the beauty from the gods all the terror that surrounds us, tonight, it gathers in the corner of your mouth to break me down. all the blackness of despair all the bliss of fallen ages, right now dwell inside the nucleous of your smell your smell of home love is a funny way to die... all the fragments of desire all the meanings of the rainbow unite. I´m counting out the stars that keep you apart. I said love´s a funny way to die...

I cant let you go I cant let you go. blow out, little girl, all of those candle lights all of those candle lights close your eyes and fall into my deepest thoughts into my deepest thoughts. anyone

I can't forget you, I can't forget you, love Tried so hard I can't forget you Because you - know me well and my eyes always tell, And through them, You will know: I can't forget you. • I - just can't be found I - just can't be found I guess I'm lost I just can't be found Because you - know me well and my eyes always tell, And through them, You will know: I can't forget you.

A Walk In The Park 05:26
lyrics
buy track
Uuh… ripples on the lake, no Ripples on the lake, no ripples on the lake, No ripples on the lake at all. Crows are quieter than ever Swans are diving into dark… Uuhh… A body’s on the grass A body’s on the grass A body’s on the grass A body’s on the floating grass Rain is falling on his dry clothes Death is just the way that he imagined. The Man on the hill looked like He was waiting long ago He said: did it hurt? And William said Oh, Not at all Not like old age, or these SAD bones, Or the feel that everything is leaving us… The Man on the Hill took a little something from his coat. He put the Golden Cricket In his hand before he spoke: “Eat this up, and let your past go. It’s the price to pay to live again…” William took the Cricket in amazement He weighed up Hell and Heaven in his hands “Shall I live forever with no memories, With no echoes of the ones I loved? No”. Uuh… Blackness taking over Blackness taking over Blackness taking over Blackness taking over now And a fading voice from nowhere Said “You’ve chosen Hell in Repetition” William chose the stillness Of the memories in his mind. The laughter of his mother, And the shape of his old love. and forever among ghosts he hears Father calling him to dinner…

Elephant & Castle 04:13
lyrics
buy track
Before you wake up I will go for a ride because i found out i dont know who I am so Ill take a walk outside and wait for my faith to show up. one million miles and were just about to start the streets from a bus, it looks like theres a design. I dont care if my dreams come true as long as I dream here with you elephant & castle, a chess that we call life, I cant foresee the movement of my heart. your streets and my illusion, thats bigger than your name, everything I want is in her face. Open your eyes, I am back, little child weve gone so far just to know what we had remember what the poet said: theres only a journey, not a place. elephant & castle... everything I want is in her face

One Moment 04:21
lyrics
buy track
There you were losing your faith again - Dancing around your life with your little steps Waiting for your moment to begin -- Open up your heart -- and just - don't be afraid, This is your moment in time Get off the lost & found 'cause there's a A brand new world waiting -- just for you it will - spin you around -- let your - soul take flight -- So if you are - looking for a way out Give yourself a prayer, don't worry your head Life's not easy when it's upside down -- Let the skies open -- the rain will wash troubles away This is your moment in time Get off the lost & found 'cause there's a A brand new world waiting -- just for you it will - spin you around -- let your - soul take flight

Death Machine 04:52
lyrics
buy track
some/body made a death machine it was amazing… a shot in a naked arm and the trip began: a trip into silence and the purest dark and a mute desire… everything we love it would slowly fade away… so / everyone bought a death machine, (that sweet resurrection dream) but, eventually, we got hooked to it ‘cause it reminded us all the vertigo, the forgotten thrills of a simple breeze on our skin…
