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. WEEKEND LOVE

The sooner it will be the better
Gonna have to see you right away
It's been a long time since the day I met her
I can't handle being without her one more day
Gonna get the feeling that I'm going insane
Feel so stupid using these old cliché's
You better hurry up Baby, I ain't lying
We're down to nothing but a waste of time
Still remember everything she said
Make no promises and make no debts
All I want is just a one day weekend love

She sips her wine without a flinching
She's in control of it all the way
Looks so good, pretending that she's listening
By the time I fall asleep, she's gone away
She's got no mercy on a jealous heart
And she said it all right from the start
Make no promises and make no debts
But I love that lady, I got to confess
I want more than just a one day weekend love
All she wants is just my one day weekend love
I want more than just a one day weekend love
All she wants is just my one day weekend love


3. WHEN THE LADY SMILES

When the lady smiles,
You know it drives me wild
Her lips are warm and resourceful
When her fingertips,
Go drawing circles in the night
Then the mood is soft and sensual, hu-u
And I love it, yeah I love it
It's the answer to all my dreams
Every time it feels like the earth is shakin'
It doesn't matter, a glass is fallin',
I hear it shatter,
Maybe it's raining, faster and faster, shadow dancin'
Together oh I, I'm a bettin' on the game of love
Oh oh oh I, I'm bettin' that love is gonna come out
When the walls no longer shout, back at me
And I'm feelin' proud

When the lady smiles,
She holds me in her hand
As a matter of fact,
She could always let me down
But when the lady smiles,
I can't resist her call
As a matter of fact,
I don't resist at all
'Cos I'm walking on clouds
And she is leadin' the way

My friends tell me,
She's the beast inside your paradise
I guess you've heard it all before
A fallen angel,
That has got you hypnotized
And that always needs some more, hu-u
And I love it, yeah I love it
She's done nothin' to mislead me
'Cos every time we meet,
The earth is shakin'
It doesn't matter, a glass is fallin'
I hear it shatter , maybe it's rainin'
Faster and faster, shadow dancin'
Together oh I, I'm bettin' on the game of love
Oh oh oh I, I'm bettin' that love is gonna come out
When the walls no longer shout, back at mea
Nd I'm feeling proud

When the lady smiles,
She holds me in her hand
As a matter of fact, she could always let me down
But when the lady smiles,
I can't resist her call
As a matter of fact,
I don't resist at all
'Cos we're walkin' on clouds
And she is leadin' the way

Oh no, oh no, oh nooooo....


4. HOLD ME NOW

Dreaming 'bout the future and drinkin' on the past
Thinkin' 'bout the things that been forgotten
Tryin' to remember and tryin' to forget
That my life is empty without you
Sayonara, close your eyes now little girl
'Cause tomorrow hides a whole different world

Hold me now, you gotta guide me through the night
Hold me now, make my ice-cold blood turn warm

Talkin' 'bout our friends in love
Our friends with broken hearts
The one's I always keep forgiving
That funny angel shot a poison pointed dart
Tonight I wanna keep on living
For your love, close your eyes now little girl
'Cause tomorrow's hidin' a whole different world

Hold me now, you gotta guide me trough the night
Hold me now, and make it last forever
Hold me now, be my guide just for a while
Hold me now and make my ice-cold blood turn warm


5. THIS WHEEL´S ON FIRE

If your memory serves you well
We were gonna meet again and wait
So I'm goin' to unpack all my things
And sit before it gets too late
No man alive will come to you
With another tale to tell
But you know that we shall meet again
If your memory serves you well

This wheel's on fire, rolling down the road
Best notify my next of kin, this wheel shall explode

If your memory serves you well
I was goin' to confiscate your lace
And wrap it up in a sailor's knot
And hide it in your case
If I knew for sure that it was yours
But it was oh so hard to tell
And you knew that we would meet again
If your memory serves you well

Wheel's on fire, rolling down the road
Best notify my next of kin, this wheel shall explode

If your memory serves you well
You'll remember you're the one
That called on me to call on them
To get you your favors done
And after every plan had failed
And there was nothing more to tell
You knew that we would meet again
If your memory serves you well

This wheel's on fire, rolling down the road
Best notify my next of kin, this wheel shall explode


6. JOE

Wake up in the morning, glad to be alive
My heart's on fire and I'm shaking
All I want is a little peace and quiet
Stop me from going crazy yeah
Stumble to the kitchen
Flashin' back on last night
Gotta get to work, I'll never make it
I was hungry for action
I saw her standing there
Looking like a bomb in a basement, Yeah
She said: Hey there stranger, wanna walk into my life?
Treat a woman right, get in on tonight

Do you want to?
And I want and I want you to give it
Give it all you got, give it all it takes
Give it all you got and don't fake it

Anything you want, I never get enough
Give it all you got
And Joe you better stop all you're thinkin'
Stop thinking 'bout tomorrow tonight
Joe, you better stop all your dying
Stop dying to get home alive

Faster than a bullet, hotter than a gun
Like a shootin' star, I've been chasin'
I was ripping off her jacket, magic in my hands
She told me to relax and embrace her, Yeah

She said: Cool it little sinner
Got a big appetite, treat a woman right
Never get enough of your never ending love


7. GOTTA SEE JANE

Red light, green light
Speedin' trough the dark night
Drivin' trough the poundin' rain
I gotta see Jane
Windshield, wiper splashin', splashin'
Callin' out her name
Just gotta see Jane

I left her arms to find my way
To find a place for me in the world outside
I wasn't alive, I could not survive
The frantic pace
The constant chase
To win the race
Turned my heart cold inside
I gotta find what I left behind

Red light, green light
Speedin' through the dark night
Drivin' through the poundin' rain
I gotta see Jane
Freeway, byway
Tearin' up the highway
Runnin' up a world insane
Just gotta see Jane

A ton of steel that isn't real
It could not feel what's in the heart of me
I was so alone in a world of stone
I missed her arms, that once held me
That made me see, I was the lonely one
But now and then I was runnin' scared

And I could feel the touch of time
Turnin' the wheel of life to yesterday
When love and happiness were mine
I gotta find that world of Jane and me
Liked it used to be

Oh, I gotta see Jane, Oh, I gotta see Jane

Her love for me I pushed aside
Walked out alone
To face a world turned cold
Although I tried I could not survive
The frantic pace
The constant chase
To win the race
It's not a part of me
I've gotta find what I left behind

Oh, I gotta see Jane, I gotta see Jane


8. WHEN I WAS YOUNG

The rooms were so much colder then
My father was a soldier then
And times were very hard
When I was young, when I was young
I smoked my first cigarette at ten
And for girls I had a bad yen
And I had quite a gall
When I was young

When I was young it was more important
They'd more pain but they laughed much louder yeah
When I was young, when I was young

I met my first love at thirteen
She was brown and I was pretty green
And I learned quite a lot
When I was young, when I was young

When I was young it was more important
They'd more pain but they laughed much louder yeah
When I was young, when I was young

My faith was so much stronger then
I believed in fellow man
And I was so much older then
When I was young, when I was young
When I was young, when I was young
When I was young, when I was young


9. ONE SHOT AWAY FROM PARADISE

I wanna talk to you,
Please let me talk to you
But you don't let me in
I wanna hold you
But I don't know where to begin

One shot away from paradise
I'll be there to open your eyes

You're hidin', hidin' in your head
Layin' on your bed
You're zoning away, got nothing to say
You're hiding, you lock yourself away
Day after day
But don't you know I'm with you
It's hard to be with you

Lemme tell ya
One shot away from paradise
I'll be there to open your eyes

You're smilin', baby you're smilin'
That's when I know you're coming home
That's when I feel I'm not alone
No no

You're crying, sometimes you're crying
That's when I know we're still alive
That's when I feel we will survive
'Cause baby don't you know that
I'll be there to open your eyes
I'll be there when you open your eyes
We're just one shot away from paradise
I'll be waiting with my arms open wide


10. ANGEL

Oh, oh, fly angel fly
Angel, angeeeellll, angeeeeeelllllllll!

The one time I didn't know what to do
I had a problem with my attitude
'Cos I never had, never had
The young man blues, the blues before
Well I know it means none, none to you
Everyman's gotta walk in his own shoes
Ain't that hard, it sure is hard to see
Straight from the heart

I can't find nothing on my shopping list
I only keep hammerin' the nail I miss
I just cannot help, believin',
That heaven is a hard on
Well I know it don't mean a damn to you
The left hand guessin' what the right will do
Now ain't that, ain't that,
The way it is, as a matter of fact
Straight from the heart

While I'm floating like a swan on a waterbed
Drowning in a pond, in a pool of regret
I'm tryin' to remember not to forget
How you bring me down with your kiss of death
Angel, angel, angel, angeeeeeellllllll

I'm entertaining all the Gods for you
Buddha and Jesus and the other one too
Now ain't that, ain't that
Like apple juice, forbidden fruit
Moon jump, flyin' back to the sun
Cool burn visible for everyone
And the blood flows, don't you know
All through your body and back to your soul
Straight from the heart

While I'm floating like a swan on a waterbed
Drownin' in a pond, in a pool of regret
I'm tryin' to remember not to forget
How you bring me down, with your kiss of death
Angel, angel, angel, angeeeeeeellllllll


11. JOHNNY MAKE BELIEVE

Waitress, more wine
We celebrate, the life and times of Johnny Make Believe
He was the greatest liar, of all mankind
The biggest drunk, you ever saw alive
He was a devil, undisguised
He will be sorely missed tonight

And the next day, will never be the same
Without the beautiful Johnny Make Believe

So let's get high, laugh till we cry
Always remember, his last words
"Farewell cruel world, all you pretty girls,
Don't send me flowers, hold me in your dreams"
And then the spirit in the bottle
Took our Johnny for a ride
Come on waitress, pour us more wine
To drown our grief
For Johnny Make Believe

He tattooed my heart, branded my soul
He said: Go for true love, not for fool's gold

So let's get high, laugh till we cry
Always remember, his last words
"Farewell cruel world, all you pretty girls
Don't send me flowers, hold me in your dreams"
And then the spirit in the bottle
Took our Johnny for a ride
Come on waitress, pour us more wine
To drown our grief
For Johnny Make Believe

La, la, la, lala, la, la, la, la....


12. GOING TO RUN

I could bet on new-years eve
He'd call me up at night
From the other side of the world
Ed was always there alright
Ed's got the looks of a movie star
Ed's got the smile of a prince
He ride a bike instead of a car
I wanna be his friend

Dancing in the living room
With the ladies so nice
Like a child with a wisdom tooth
He's just a friend of mine
Ed's got the rings and the colors
Ed's got the wind in his hair
He goes a riding with the brothers
He's got a fist in the air

Going to the run, run Angel
Going to the run, run Angel
Well, heaven and hell came together that night
Only for you this time
Going to the run, forever Angel

One summer at the festival
Holding on real tight
On the back of a Harley
He took me for a ride in the sky
Ed's got the looks of a movie star
Ed's got the smile of a prince
He'd ride a bike instead of a car
I'll always be his friend

Going to the run, run Angel
Going to the run, run Angel
And his wings started to shine so bright
Like a fire in the night
Going to the run, forever Angel

Going to the run, run Angel
Forever going to the run, run Angel
Well, heaven and hell came together that night
Only for you this time
Going to the run, forever Angel
