1. RADAR LOVE

I've been drivin' all night,
My hand's wet on the wheel
There's a voice in my head
That drives my heel
It's my baby callin',
Says: I need you here
And it's a half past four
And I'm shifting gear

When she is lonely
And the longing gets too much
She sends a cable
Coming in from above
Don't need a phone at all

We've got a thing that's called Radar Love
We've got a wave in the air,
Radar Love

The radio's playing some forgotten song
Brenda Lee's "Coming On Strong"
The road has got me hypnotized
And I'm speeding into a new sunrise

When I get lonely,
And I'm sure I've had enough
She sends her comfort,
Comin' in from above
Don't need a letter at all

We've got a thing that's called Radar Love
We've got a line in the sky,
Radar Love

No more speed, I'm almost there
Gotta keep cool now, gotta take care
Last car to pass, here I go
And the line of cars drove down real slow

And the radio played that forgotten song
Brenda Lee's "Coming On Strong"
And the newsman sang his same song
One more radar love is gone

When I get lonely and I'm sure I've had enough
She sends her comfort, coming in from above
We don't need no letter at all

We've got a thing that's called Radar Love
We've got a line in the sky
We've got a thing that's called Radar Love
We've got a thing that's called,
Radar Love


2. BACK HOME

Goin' back right through the city
Through the country, rivers so pretty
People wonder why I'm going back home
Just the place where I belong

Back home, back home,
Back home, back home

Well I'm a round the world rambler
Just a fortune gambler
It's always good to be back home

'round and 'round, the world goes 'round
Got my friends in every town
From border to border, every place I've been
I've gotta be back if you know what I mean

Back home, back home,
Back home, back home

Well I'm a round the world rambler
Just a fortune gambler
It's always good to be back home


3. GIPSY RHAPSODY

We yearned from the fire till morning and then we fall down
Falling asleep, a-hearing no sound
Just let me sleep, oh gipsy guitar
Loved all the food in dishes, in silver and gold
And some of their wishes are looking sincere
Waiting for you, waiting for me

And the air is covered in haze that drips on the wall
And if you look into the crystal ball
You should be happy to see me happy, oh yeah

Look around, come on and join me
Oh, play around, come on and join me
Play around, come on and tell me
You got no time for pleasure at all

And the air is covered in haze that drips on the wall
And if you look into the crystal ball
You should be happy to see me happy, oh yeah

Look around, come on and join me
Dance around, come on and join me
Oh play around, come on and tell me
You got no time for pleasure at all


4. SONG OF A DEVILS SERVANT

Call my name and I'll be there
To serve your majesty everywhere
No instruction is too much for me
Execute his order, like in a bad dream
Ah, ah, ah,...

There's no use to run and hide
For his eyes are open wide
And when he finds you
Those eyes will burn into your soul

I sold my life, without thinkin' twice
But instead of fortune he gave me lies
I'm facing hell to eternity
The only way out is suicide for me
Ah, ah, ah,...


5. I SING MY SONG

Through the windy foggy weather
I'll come to you no matter
How long it will take

Then I'll sing you mellow songs
About times, how it was
How we drifted upon our love

Oh I sing my song, on and on
And take you with me
In a dreamy course
I sing my song, on and on
And take you with me
No one can change our course

And you lead softly to faraway
Where seldom a glimpse will play
And then suddenly we'll fling away

There's a burning thing called fire
Makes my heart desire
So I sing my song to you
There's a burning thing called fire
Makes my heart desire
So I sing my song, on and on

So I'll sing you mellow songs
About times, how it was
How we drifted upon our love
We were floating on silver water
To find rainbows, cutting hearts
Oh, in the trees

Oh I sing my song, on and on
And take you with me
In a dreamy course
I sing my song, on and on
And take you with me
No one can change our course

And you lead softly to faraway
Where seldom a glimpse will play
And then suddenly we'll fling away

There's a burning thing called fire
Makes my heart desire
So I sing my song to you
There's a burning thing called fire
Makes my heart desire
So I sing my song, on and on


6. LANDING

When daylight and nighttime feel the same
It's time for your mind to play a game
Close all your eyes and touch the air
Reach for a hand that must be there
You know how it fools you
And you know how it is
To be one of those people
Who don't know what they miss
You can hide away from reality
And escape

Yesterday I felt it
And the first thing I thought
Never let go
I held it as close as I could
When it didn't grow like it should
And then, after hours, I opened my head
I found myself back on the floor near my bed
Nothing has changed, it was all the same again
The same again

When daylight and nighttime feel the same
It's time for your mind to play a game
Close all your eyes and touch the air
Reach for a hand that must be there
You know how it fools you
And you know how it is
To be one of those people
Who don't know what they miss
You can hide away from reality
But you can't escape


7. STAND BY ME

I don't care if you need more lovin'
More than I can give you everyday
I don't mind if you sleep all over town
If you only care for me,
Than I don't have to say

Stand by me, stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me

I don't mind if you need more money
Go out with friends and dance all night
And give your body when you're stoned and wasted
When you're with me, I want you on my side

Stand by me, stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me

I don't care if you drive my car
And go ridin' with some rock 'n roll star
You wanna make love and you tell him you're free
But when we're together, please stand by me

Stand by me, stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me


8. BUDDY JOE

Let me tell you about Buddy Joe
When he came down from Mexico
With his pockets full of gold
With his pockets full of gold

Have you something to declare
Are you sure there's nothing there
'Cos if there is, don't say
You've not been told

Oh, Buddy Joe
What have they done with the gold
Well, I don't really know

Well Buddy Joe searched all his life
Through Mexico, all the riversides
Not for the money, but for the gold
He needs to hold

Well Buddy Joe was proud as he was
Could not stand all the fuss
When they got to all his gold
He was ready to go

Oh, Buddy Joe
What have they done with the gold
I don't really know

Well you'll understand he didn't stand a chance
Everybody was shouting commands
When Buddy Joe split in a hurry
He was ready to be buried

Oh Buddy Joe
What have they done with the gold
I don't really know


9. SHE FLIES ON STRANGE WINGS (PART 1)

Lonely is the night without you
Just as lonely as the shepherd without sheep
And where flies the falcon,
In the high sweet air
Without hunting this Sprane Valleys deer

She wears softness as a gown
She spreads magic all around
Her feathers still untouched
She takes but nothing and she gives so much

She flies on strange wings
She flies on strange winds
She brings strange things
She flies on strange wings

She takes off when she desires
Silence grows on her lips
She can bring you so much higher
She spreads love on all her trips, yeah

She flies on strange wings
She flies on strange winds
She brings strange things
She flies on strange wings

Woke up this morning
And this feeling came to my head
To fly with her from sky to sky
'Cause my mind seemed to be dead
So I floated up towards her
On my mutilated wings
But all the blackness sings against me now
It's the lady of the strange wings

She wears softness as a gown
She spreads magic all around
Her feathers still untouched
She takes but nothing and she gives so much

She flies on strange....


10. BIG TREE BLUE SEA

Morning sunshine, praise the earth
Fill your glass with wine and dirt
I don't mind, I'm the big tree
I don't mind, I'm the blue sea

Paper castles, filled with words
Limbo policemen please the herd
I don't mind, I'm the big tree
I don't mind, I'm the blue sea

I'm sun, I'm warm, I'm child of the moon
Even when it's dark, I'll send the dune
Can't you hear there's fishermen laughing
The whale dips down, I hear him crying for me
I'm shade, I'm good, I'm beams in June
Even when it's dark, I'll light your room
Don't you know the clown has feelings
Talking revolution, secret meetings, who's free
Who's free, free

Morning sunshine, praise the earth
Fill your glass with blood and dirt
I don't mind, I'm the big tree
I don't mind, I'm the blue sea


11. ALL DAY WATCHER

Well in a few more hours, and millions of people
Hate their alarm clock even more than their wives
The day is beginning, you can tell by the sunrise
People get ready for a day in their lives
They're getting together in the streets of the city
Like lost computers of a shattered tribe
They're all in a hurry, to be in time
Some for promotion, some to stay alive
Yeah, yeah

I'm the all day watcher, that's all I do
I'm the all day watcher, I'm watching you

Well I shake my head and I shake my brain
And I don't understand why they're all the same
I weigh pro's and con's, against their lives and mine
But I don't know, it's beyond my frame of mind
Beyond my frame of mind, yeah

Oh, in a few more minutes, and millions of people
Hear the whistle of freedom blowing through their head
They push and they hurry and the herd starts moving
They follow the trail back home again
Where they're taking it easy with a box of beer
Watching the late late show on color TV
And life ain't easy when you're livin' that way
But sometimes I wonder, maybe it's fun everyday
Yeah, yeah

I'm the all day watcher, that's all I do
I'm the all day watcher, I'm watching you


12. BORN A SECOND TIME

When I was born a second time
There was no one who I could find who cared
Mother said my boy where have you been
My father was a man I’ve never seen .. and you

Stars where shining up above
I started to believe in love again
I want know what made me feel so shy
Words I should say died away when I saw you

Being in the situation thinking of a new relationship
Makes me feel that I'm no longer me
I'm sure enough the one I used to be it's you
Misty clouds around my head
I can't remember what you said to me
Born a second time is not enough
As long as it's not me you're thinking
