"Save it for tomorrow
Just let me get some sleep in
Let me remand
I wasn't born a failure
Tonight I feel we're sinking
And I'm thinking once again

So I say goodnight
To dreams that won't be realized
I can't sleep with desperation
By my side
The memories start to fade
Now I live for better days

Last night was wrong, it's morning
So tired of these empty feelings in me
I wasn't born a failure
No more living in regret
Stop feeling sorry for yourself

So I say goodnight
To dreams that won't be realized
I can't sleep with desperation
By my side
The memories start to fade
Now I live for better days

I need to end this violence
In this place that I call home
I need to hear some silence
Silence in me

So I say goodnight
To dreams that won't be realized
I can't sleep with desperation
By my side
The memories start to fade
Now I live for better days"

Ignite - Live for better days

-D. (leer)

Am I loud and clear, or am I breaking up?
Am I still your charm, or am I just bad luck?
Are we getting closer, or are we just getting more lost?

I'll show you mine if you show me yours first
Let's compare scars, I'll tell you whose is worse
Let's unwrite these pages and replace them with our own words

We live on front porches and swing life away,
We get by just fine here on minimum wage
If love is a labor I'll slave till the end,
I won't cross these streets until you hold my hand

I've been here so long, I think that it's time to move
The winter's so cold, summer's over too soon
Let's pack our bags and settle down where palm trees grow

I've got some friends, some that I hardly know
But we've had some times, I wouldn't trade for the world
We chase these days down with talks of the places that we will go

We live on front porches and swing life away,
We get by just fine here on minimum wage
If love is a labor I'll slave till the end,
I won't cross these streets until you hold my hand....until you hold my hand

I'll show you mine if you show me yours first
Let's compare scars, I'll tell you whose is worse
Let's unwrite these pages and replace them with our own words

We live on front porches and swing life away,
We get by just fine here on minimum wage
If love is a labor I'll slave till the end,
I won't cross these streets until you hold my hand

Swing life away

"Liebes Leben, fang mich ein,
halt mich an die Erde.
Kann doch, was ich bin, nur sein,
wenn ich es auch werde.

Gib mir Tränen, gibt mir Mut,
und von allem mehr.
Mach mich böse, mach mich gut,
nur nie ungefähr.

Liebes Leben, abgemacht?
Darfst mir nicht verfliegen.
Hab noch so viel Mitternacht
sprachlos vor mir liegen."

Konstantin Wecker - Liebes Leben

In Erinnerung an einen schönen Tag. Einen nahezu perfekten. Zumindest für mich.

"Just a perfect day
drink Sangria in the park
And then later
when it gets dark, we go home

Just a perfect day
feed animals in the zoo
Then later
a movie, too, and then home

Oh, it's such a perfect day
I'm glad I spend it with you
Oh, such a perfect day
You just keep me hanging on
You just keep me hanging on

Just a perfect day
problems all left alone
Weekenders on our own
it's such fun

Just a perfect day
you made me forget myself
I thought I was
someone else, someone good

Oh, it's such a perfect day
I'm glad I spent it with you
Oh, such a perfect day
You just keep me hanging on
You just keep me hanging on

You're going to reap just what you sow
You're going to reap just what you sow
You're going to reap just what you sow
You're going to reap just what you sow"

"I her Musik wo kane is,
I merk net, dass i meine Fingernägel friss.
An riesen Stan hob i im Bauch,
Friss Pulver gegn Kopfweh, obwohl i kane brauch.

Meinen Freind dei geh i mit dem G'schichtl scho am Wecker.
I konn nix dafia, na, wos soll i tuan?
I kriag scho langsam an Pecker.

I siech nur di, wann i in da Hockn bin
I siech nur di, bei de Freind beim Koartnspün
I siech nur di, wann i vur mein Spiegl steh
I siech nur di, wann I auf a Kriagl geh.
I drah mi kaum no noch andere um
I lah nur mehr die Hölfte Tee in mein Rum.
I konn mochn wos i wü: I siech nur di...

I hob kan Hunger und hob kan Schlaf,
I stell an Rekord im Telefonbiachl-Zerreissen auf.
I hob mi seit Wochen scho nimma rasiert.
I hob mir dein Namen auf mein Oberarm tätowiert.

Meinen Freind dei geh i mit dem G'schichtl scho am Wecker.
I konn nix dafia, na, wos soll i tuan?
I kriag scho langsam an Pecker.

I siech nur di, wann i in da Hockn bin
I siech nur di, bei de Freind beim Koartnspün
I siech nur di, wann i vur mein Spiegl steh
I siech nur di, wann I auf a Kriagl geh.
I drah mi kaum no noch andere um
I lah nur mehr die Hölfte Tee in mein Rum.
I konn mochn wos i wü: I siech nur di...

Um mich abzulenken bohr i in mei Knia a Loch.
I nimm an Job an in Sibirien als Gefängniskoch.
I drah scho durch, I fang zum Meerschweindl-Züchten an
Und alles nur weil i an nix anders denken kann."

"Jimmy was a boy aged 17
and he was the leader of a gang.
But that was 20 years ago now he's a big shot
with lots of money on the bank.
Pam his wife is nice and beautiful
and almost as old as his daughter,
she likes expensive clothes and expensive cars
if I was nasty i'd say that he bought her.

Why do all the women always want bad guys?
Is nasty behaviour an indication for dick size?
Why do all the women always want bad guys?
Ruthlessness and success, that's the formula for good sex!

They met eachother in a discotheque
she was dancing with a boy named Ben.
Jimmy claimed he'd stepped on his snakeskin boots
and Jimmy fought for his right with bare hands.
Later in hospital Ben got the news
Jimmy was not gonna sue him
when Jimmy hung up the phone Pam just went on
caressing Jimmies tatooed skin.

Why do all the women always want bad guys?
Is nasty behaviour an indication for dick size?
Why do all the women always want bad guys?
Ruthlessness and success, that's the formula for good sex!

Jimmy and Pam had romantic nights
and Jimmy never slapped her too hard,
than he told her 'bout his tough childhood
and when he cried he touched her deep in her heart.
One night he promised he'd be hers
forever this sentimental sinner
and she didn't mind that the ring he gave her
was sticking on it's owner's finger

Why do all the women always want bad guys?
Is nasty behaviour an indication for dick size?
Why do all the women always want bad guys?
Ruthlessness and success, that's the formula for good sex!"

"Last night I had a dream that we went to disneyland,
Went on all the rides, didn't have to wait in line.
I drove you to your house, where we stared up at the stars
I listened to your heartbeat as I held you in my arms.

We hung out at the rainbow, where we drank til' half past two.
Nothing could go wrong anytime that I'm with you.
Like crashing a hotel room or leading up to that first kiss
Or searching for a high school that you know doesn't exist.

These are the things that make me free
I feel like i'm stuck in 'stand by me'
This night was too good to be true.

Today I woke up alone wishing you were here with me,
I wanted us to be something that we'd probably never be.
Today you called me up and said you'd see me at our show,
But now I'm stuck debating if I even wanna go.

Whitney, don't you understand that what I say is true?
I just want you to know I have a major crush on you.
I'd drive you to las vegas and do the things you wanna do
I'd even have Wayne Newton dedicate a song to you.

I only wish that this could be
Just dump your boyfriend and go out with me
I swear I'd treat you like a queen."

"This one's for the workers who toil night and day
By hand and by brain, to earn your pay
For centuries long past for no more than your bread
Have bled for your countries and counted your dead

In the factories and mills, in the shipyards and mines
We've often been told to keep up with the times
For our skills are not needed, they've streamlined the job
And with slide rule and stopwatch, our pride they have robbed

We're the first ones to starve, we're the first ones to die
The first ones in line for that pie in the sky
And we're always the last when the cream is shared out
For the worker is working when the fat cat's about

And when the sky darkens and the prospect is war
Who's given the gun and then pushed to the fore
And expected to die for the land of our birth
Though we've never owned one lousy handful of earth

And all of these things the worker has done
From tilling the fields to carrying the gun
We've been yoked to the plow since time first began
And always expected to carry the can."

Dropkick Murphys - Worker's Song

Für dich.

"Molti mari e fiumi
attraverserò
dentro la tua terra
mi ritroverai
turbini e tempeste
io cavalcerò
volerò tra il fulmini
per averti

Meravigliosa creatura sei sola al mondo
meravigliosa paura di averti accanto
occhi di sole mi bruciano in mezzo al cuore
amo vita meravigliosa

Luce dei miei occhi
brilla su di me
voglio mille lune
per accarezzarti
pendo dai tuoi sogni
veglio su di te
non svegliarti
non svegliarti
ancora

Meravigliosa creatura
sei sola al mondo
meravigliosa paura d'averti accanto
occhi di sole mi tremano le parole
amo vita meravigliosa

Meravigliosa creatura un bacio lento
meravigliosa paura d'averti accanto
all'improvviso tu scendi nel paradiso
muoio d'amore meraviglioso."

"Land in Sicht, singt der Wind in mein Herz.
Die lange Reise ist vorbei.
Morgenlicht weckt meine Seele auf.
Ich lebe wieder und bin frei.

Und die Tränen von gestern wird die Sonne trocknen,
die Spuren der Verzweiflung wird der Wind verweh'n.
Die durstigen Lippen wird der Regen trösten
und die längst verlor'n Geglaubten
werden von den Toten aufersteh'n.

Ich seh die Wälder meiner Sehnsucht,
den weiten sonnengelben Strand.
Der Himmel leuchtet wie Unendlichkeit,
die bösen Träume sind verbannt."
