1. _ And You Say
(hinkel / freudenthaler)
Whenever i buy a lighter in the store
You take it away
I cannot find the ashtray anymore
Did you take it away?
Smoking is not good for me
It damages my health
If you don't give me nicotine
Well, then i ask somebody else
And you say
What you do
Is just the way that i wanted you to
And you say
What you see
Is not the way that you want me to be
Whenever i pour myself a glass of wine
You take it away
The bottle i bought today i cannot find
Did you take it away?
Drinking is not good for me
It damages my brain
I haven't had a single drop
And it's driving me insane
That you say
What you do
Is just the way that i wanted you to
And you say
What you see
Is not the way that you want me to be
Whenever i get some change from anywhere
You take it away
I'm loving my little bankbook |
2. _ Probably
(hinkel / freudenthaler)
Dan is drinking coffee
Mary's drinking tea
Betty's having breakfast
In the plastic surgery
Some say she's a beauty
Some may say she's mad
But she doesn't care what the people say
And dyes her red hair black
You don't know,
What they will say
You probably've to do it your own way
You don't know,
What they will see
Absolutely nothing |
3. _ Nothing
(hinkel / freudenthaler)
There's no picture,
I could paint to tell you what you mean to me
And no poem,
I could write to tell you what you mean to me
You're more than fire
You are more than rain
You're more than love
And you are more than pain
No, no, there's no single word
That could explain
There's no flower,
Blooming like the smile in your ethereal eyes
And no scholar,
Ever could explain it |
4. _ Emily
(hinkel / freudenthaler)
Emily's going out tonight
With a candle in her pocket and
A lighter in her right hand
Does anybody know
Why she's gonna go
She's nearly out of sight
Emily's out tonight
So familiar
How ladylike the old girl comes along
She's ninety something,
Dressed up and wide awake
A little slow but going strong
She's paid off the overdraft
For the tv she has bought in 84
She's been paying all her lifetime
But now she's gonna pay no more
Deep religious
She went to mess on every sunday morning
She's believing
In god but she don't like
The priest he's new in town |
5. _ Why Did She Go?
(hinkel / freudenthaler)
Mother's waiting in the kitchen
The elephant's waiting in the zoo
The teacher's waiting in the classroom
And i am waiting here for you
And the audience is waiting
For the show that won't begin
The artist's waiting at the backdoor
Because nobody let him in
Why did she go?
She said there's no tomorrow
How did she know?
Did anybody tell her?
I can't explain
I'm sitting in the corner
Staring at the wall
And she won't be back again
Louise was waiting for a lover
First he paid and then he came
Now she's cooking for a baby
The client wasn't seen again
Why did she go...
It's time you started
To think seriously about
Your future and your dreaming
She said and didn't leave no room for doubt
That if i took her meaning
There was no longer dreaming
It's just a perfect screaming
Why did she go...
She's back again

6. _ Rainy Day
(hinkel / freudenthaler)
The porridge's been good
The marmalade too
I take another slice of bread
The bacon is hot but i don't mind
Too long i boiled the egg
I'm still a little tired,
My bones are weak
Another day off i take
I guess the sun had the same idea
And now we have a break
It's a rainy day, a rainy day
But i love it
It's a rainy day
The water comes down
But i love you
Milkman mr miller
Is ringing my bell
Do you take a litre or two
But i don't wanna drink his milk today
I feel fine without it too
He steps into a puddle by going away
I hear him swearing at
The forecast promised high pressure today
And now he's getting wet
It's a rainy day, a rainy day...
Rosalie maclovely is waiting for a cab
In the middle of the pouring rain
Old bold head macarthur is waiting
For his hair to grow again
Once upon a time he was a curly head
But all those days are gone
And now he's looking like a fireball
When he gets into the sun
It's a rainy day, a rainy day...

7. _ Martha My Dear
(lennon / mccartney)
Martha my dear
Though i spend my days in conversation
Please
Remember me
Martha my love
Don't forget me
Martha my dear
Hold your head up you silly girl
Look what you've done
When you find yourself in the thick of it
Help yourself to a bit of what is all around you
Silly girl
Take a good look around you
Take a good look you're bound to see
That you and me
Were meant to be
For each other
Silly girl
Hold your head up you silly girl
Look what you've done
When you find yourself in the thick of it
Help yourself to a bit of what is all around you
Silly girl
Martha my dear
You have always been my inspiration
Please
Be good to me
Martha my love
Don't forget me
Martha my dear

8. _ Northern Town
(hinkel / freudenthaler)
Now she's gone without a sign
Without a warning
The voice of anybody else
Is on the answering machine
The story's ending
You have to do it by yourself |
9. _ Good Night
(hinkel / freudenthaler)
When blue ethereal winds arise
And stars begin to paint the skies
Then don't be scared
Just close your eyes
When veils of silence lay them down
And noone seems to be around
I'll be there for you, wait for you
The whole night through
Good night |
10. _ When The Moon Kisses Town
(hinkel / freudenthaler / röhl)

11. _ Why Am I Sad Today
(hinkel / freudenthaler)
The waitress is cleaning the bar
It's two in the morning
She offers some coffee to me
Turns the radio on
The caster is selling his voice to the night
The coffee gets cold in a while
The old man beside me is gone
He showed me a blueprint
Of a house he would build
With the money he never could save
His father was buried down by the sea
Once he was younger than me
Why am i sad today
Why am i on the way
Down to the border
Not over the line
Why am i sad today
Why am i on the way
Down to the limit of time
I'm sleepless tonight
Take me away from the gloom
I'm cold from the inside
The waitress has turned off the lights
There's nothing to fear
She's put on her coat and once in a while
The lines on her face disappear
Why am i sad today...
Oceans awake and walls break down
When you are there
You take my hand and
You just lead me right out of here
Why am i sad today...

12. _ The Principal Thing
(hinkel / freudenthaler)
Do you have a problem?
Do you wanna whine?
Do you feel the need for a little more time?
Do you think about a change of scene?
You should go and ask peggy
For the principal thing
Do you have no money?
Do you wanna know?
What you wanna do and where you wanna go to?
Do you have the foggiest idea what i mean?
You should go and ask peggy
For the principal thing
If you don't know what it means
It's easier than it seems
If you don't know what it means...
He's got all the keys
You only have to seize
And you know what it means
Do you know what it means?
Do you know what it means?
He was a showgirl
She's been around the world
And everybody knows
Do you feel a dizziness?
Do you wanna know?
Where's above and where's below?
Do you really love it when you're in between?
You should go and ask peggy
For the principal thing
If you don't know what it means
It's easier than it seems
If you don't know what it means...
