1. SONGS ON A DEVIL'S 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,...


2. ANGELINA

Angelina, why are you lying there
And not playing with your blond curling hair
I hear no music, I see no light,
I even see no light in your eyes, your eyes open wide
Staring at me, strange as never before
Is this what you meant, when I shut the door
Oh my God why did you do this to me
I'm back my love, I couldn't be free

Angelina, it's me my love
Finally found out I can't live without your love

Angelina, and your name echoes in the air
Then silence will be long, everything's so rare
As if the world exists no more
My world has been destroyed when I shut the door
And when you're lying there, oh Angelina
I kiss your lips and I caress your hair
Oh my God why did you do this to me
I'm back my love, I couldn't be free


3. PAM PAM POOPE POOPE LOUX

When Jorma the witch raised her hand
You could hear her awful laughing
Stirring in a boiling jar
While the raven was almost starving
Then she went into the fields
And she went into the marsh
With a satchel on her back
To find the bats and to find the herbs
While the raven was sitting on her neck

Pam Pam Poope Poope Loux

Satisfied, but in her mind she was screaming
About the best trick
Ever done by a witch
And it was steaming

But then came the night of the full moon
She challenged S.W. Johanna
S.W. Johanna accepted the challenge
And said I'll show you what I can, yeah
Many days they fought one another
You know what she went through
With a smiling face Jorma returned, whispering

Pam Pam Poope Poope Loux


4. HURRY, HURRY, HURRY

You're tired of all your imitation friends
And your job of course is boring
And when you're at home and you sit before the fire
And you look into the flames, then you see
You gotta leave in the early morning
You wanna go there where your friends will be friends
And your job, a vacation trip
And the dark days, oh sunny moments
But even when I try and I try so hard to leave you here alone
It's not easy, I'm almost chained

Hurry, hurry, hurry
Before the time will run too fast
And then you'll never reach your kind and careless places
Hurry, hurry, hurry
Before the time will run too fast
And then you'll never see your kind and friendly faces

Here in the field, one by one, with our last bits of food
We're patiently waiting for the daybreak
Till something is happening that just faded away
In the completely tired minds, still the remembrance
Oh my mind aches
Maybe you're ill, but you try to rise to get a view of the scene
To see a handful of glory
Fascinated by what you've seen, you return to here
To the lost glorious ages

Hurry, hurry, hurry
Before the time will run too fast
And then you'll never reach your kind and careless places
Hurry, hurry, hurry
Before the time will run too fast
And then you'll never see your kind and friendly faces

All I need is something else inside that changes me
I wish something were happening here to me


5. MY BABY RUBY

I sit here and I'm drinking
Drinking away her name
But God knows if it will help
Until now she still remains
And every glass and every hour
Deeper I will sink
So wondering if it will help
Come on buddy, buy me a drink

Think about my baby, think about her right now
Come on give me the bottle, the bill don't talk about it now
Think about my baby, I think about her right now
The moment I knew she was living, I had to get her anyhow

My baby Ruby, she's groovy
And every time I call her name
She looks at the sky, for me no eye, oh yeah


6. JUDY

Someone needs someone
And the game is called love
Hear me, I'm loosing my mind
Judy oh Judy, I love you
Come give me a sign

Money is some thing
That can buy me much
Much, but not what I need
Seeing that light in your sweet eyes
Makes my heart beat

Life seems so easy for you
Oh, let me live too
Judy, Judy, I'm loving you

Now I left town
To follow you down
Leaving behind all I had
Following that light in your sweet eyes
Is driving me mad


7. GOODBYE MAMA

Oh boy watch it, here I am
Want the world to tell I'm coming as loud as I can
Told my boss that my job was free
Well I conquer the world indeed
And that's so fine, I make you all mine
I'm just thinking of today, there's a lot I gotta say

Goodbye mama
Na, na, na, na, na
Goodbye mama, goodbye mama
Don't stop me now
Goodbye mama

All my friends are coming with me now
Exactly doing the same, through thick and thin anyhow
There's really something I want you to do
Before the moving fever gonna get you too
Throw away your act, for really that's a fact
I'm just thinking of today, there's a lot I gotta say

Goodbye mama
Na, na, na, na, na
Goodbye mama, goodbye mama
Don't stop me now
Goodbye mama

Listen my friends what I tell you now
The world is in hands of too old a crowd
So make up your mind before it gets too late
And conquer the world yeah, any day


8. MURDOCK

Do you remember how she was looking
The day she left me on my own
Oh lord, you know how she could rock me
And you know she won't be coming home

Do you remember how she was looking
The first time we saw her nude
Cause nobody had ever seen her peach-skin
Well I just want her back, oh I just want her back

So, I hang on, hang on, hang on now
Call her number any day, any hour
Mixed up in a facer and I'm feeling blue
While I'm calling Murdock 9-6182

Na, na, na....na, na, na

Do you remember, I called you Queen Eliza
And then you smiled and ran out the door
Came back when I was sitting on the sofa
And gave me the things where I was longing for

Do you remember how you were looking
The day I came home and found out the score
The well known reason it ain't no use to mention
Well I just want you back, oh I just want you back

So, I hang on, hang on, hang on now
Call your number, any day, any hour
Mixed up in a facer and I'm feeling blue
While I'm calling Murdock 9-6182


9. JUST A LITTLE BIT OF PEACE IN MY HEART

The rainbow hides no treasure
Oh believe me it's not true
And there ain't no mixture
That will give you back your youth
No mystic machine that makes the sand turn to gold
Like there ain't no magic word
That holds you back from getting old

I catch a branch
And I break it in my hands
Like you broke my heart
Oh I still can't understand
No mysterious mixture
Can heal the wound you've made
Only time will bring peace to meand
Now I just hate

Oh I'll break up and I give it all up
No more lies, no more rainbow treasures
No more fairytales, no more games for me
It's my life, my life, a pleasure

There's just a little bit of peace in my heart
There's just a little bit of happiness I'll part

I catch a branch
And I break it in my hands
Like you broke my heart
Oh I still can't understand
No mysterious mixture
Can heal the wound you've made
Only time will bring peace to me
And now I just hate

Oh I'll break up and I give it all up
No more lies, no more rainbow treasures
No more fairytales, no more games for me
It's my life, my life, a pleasure

There's just a little bit of peace in my heart
There's just a little bit of happiness I'll part

The time rolls by, the days go by
When will I learn to stop wondering why
Despairing I'm going down on my knees
I'm begging, begging, begging, oh please

There's just a little bit of peace in my heart
There's just a little bit of happiness I'll part


10. THE SAD STORY OF SAM STONE

Look at Sam Stone boy, he's so great
Sock it, funky - groovy - uh, it's all up to date
He'd never get tired, he's always on the run
No one makes him cry, he's always having fun

Then one day someone stepped on his toes
It was pretty chick, that's the way it goes
A beautiful honey, and mad about money
Of course he just believed what she said
He gave her all the things that he had

Look at Sam Stone, boy there he goes
Used to dance around on the tip of his toes
But now it's all over, even walking hurts his bones
But girls don't you worry, there'll be other Sam Stone's


11. HIGH IN THE SKY

The time has gone
But your face baby, is still here on my mind
The tears I cried have filled the rivers,
Lakes, seas, but not the time
I hear your voice through the wind
Whispering tender, sweet sweet as wine
But remember I'm coming to that
Place where your love is still shining
Although my eyes are wet
I still see the lovely moments in the shadow of your name
And so I think of you and remember
The day He put out the flame

I'll come high in the sky
Where your love is blooming
Like a flower on a field
I'll come high in the sky
Where your love is blooming
Pure and real

Yes, the time has gone
And gone for me is the time to spent here on earth
I'll cry my tears knowing that you are waiting for me
Could it be worse
I reach my hand
While you are reaching your hand out for me


12. REMEMBER MY FRIEND

First you sit in your room and you're thinking
And you find out the ceiling isn't high
Then you jump out your window and you're falling
And you find out the floor was not the sky

Then you think it's not possible to walk on
But you feel that your feet are doing well

Remember my friend, it is not the end
When you think that it's done, that your love has gone
You're alone my friend, but that's not the end
When you think that you're done, life has begun

The last time you saw her, she was crying
You saw it and you knew in your heart
That the next day your mind would think of dying
Those tears would be the cue for you to part
Then you think it's not possible to walk on
But you feel that your feet are doing well


13. TIME IS A BOOK

If I could go back a hundred years or more
Back to the ages I adore
I put myself on a sailing boat
Sailing the seas, carrying my load
Put into ports of every new found land
The crew drops the anchor on my command
Down the boats, and we go ashore
But too bad, I know this can't happen anymore

Time is a book, a book of glory
And in a book of stories
You can't turn the page back anymore

If I could go back a hundred years or more
Back to the ages I adore
I'd become an inventor to discover new things
I'd find out flying with my own wings
I'd find out light and the electric train
And I'd find out how to make it rain
Yes, I should find out all those things
Although sometimes I was wrong
But I'd never find out a gun or a bomb


14. BACKBITING BABY

Sometimes you feel when you get hurt
Vibrations all around
It's the same when you're digging in the dirt
And there's nothing to be found
You got a feeling and the feeling gets stronger
That your whole world is falling down
Baby this can't go on much longer
Hide your smile, don't treat me like a hound-dog

Backbiting baby can you hear me
Your days are numbered now
Everybody's breathing more freely
Cause you're backbiting's over now
Backbiting baby can you hear me
Your days are numbered now
Everybody's breathing more freely
And I'll just take a bow

You got a feeling and the feeling gets stronger
This girl must leave the place
And every minute she stays longer
Oh I just can't stand her face


15. I'M A RUNNIN'

On the stroke of ten
I slipped into the van
And hid myself behind some boxes
Waitin' for the driver yeah

The first time I was lucky
For the van took me to Kentucky
The first time too I slept in a railway station

I woke up wondering you're running to nowhere
But at the same time I was here, oh and I didn't care
Oh where am I accompanied by
Good hopes, and believe me I'll get by

Yeah, I'm a runnin', well I'm a runnin'
I'm a runnin' till I can't go on
Till I find where I belong
Yeah I'm a runnin'
Oh I'm a runnin' till I can't go on
Till I find where I belong

So I ramble through the country
And most of the time
Nature doesn't care less about me
And sometimes when I'm alone
I hear my father say: Son you gotta do something
Take that advice from me now
So I drop down to South Carolina
With a little luck and a little sunshine yeah
I say, here I stay, here I pray
For happiness, oh every day

But until now I'm a runnin'
Yeah, I'm a runnin'
I'm runnin' till I can't go on
Till I find where I belong


16. 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


17. MITCH MOVER

Hello, this is a song
'Bout a guy called Mitch Mover
A strange little character
That's what he is
Keeps collecting butterflies and bees
And things like that, you know

Early in the morning when the sun goes up
Mitch Mover awakes and he drinks a cup
Of tea and he takes his botanical case
On his back, oh boy, what a chase

Butterflies and bees, they can't stand him anymore

There he goes again
Good luck and I'll see you again
Tonight when he is tired of chasing hornets
He admires a boy

At night he selects all the insects
And carefully he puts pins through their heads
Peering through the gloom, it seems as if his room
Was a biological museum

Butterflies and bees, they won't fly anymore

There he goes again
Good luck and I'll see you again
Tonight when he is tired of chasing hornets
He admires a boy

Mitch Mover, Mitch Mover, Mitch Mover


18. GOD BLESS THE DAY

In the morning dawn
When it's not all clear
All you can hear is the silence
Of a fairy-like noise far away

In the morning dawn
When it's not all clean
All you have seen is the burying
Of a fairy-like bright early day

The Lord will bless this day
And our food
And the weapons of the enemy in the neighbourhood
The Lord will bless the victory
Of every fool
With a gun, thinkin' he can change the rule

God bless the day, God bless the day
God bless the day, God bless the day

Like one says
He will bless
And we will wait
For what He'll create


19. THE GRAND PIANO

Strong rough hands seized the shiny wood
Carried her on stage and there she stood
Every time when she performed
The audience smiled or cried
But after years of cheers and fame
Her sound got old and died

Na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na

Strong rough hands seized the shabby wood
Took here there, where she would stay for good
Her study was her destiny
Children used to say
You are still a queen for us
So teach us how to play

Na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na
