Reviews

Live Your Live review by Woody’s Rock Reviews2023-01-23T15:13:58+01:00

By Woody, Woody’s Rock Reviews

Although Michael Kratz is an established musician in his native Denmark my introduction to him was his last album ‘Live Your Life’ which I really enjoyed but when this double live album came to me, I wasn’t sure what to expect as a good chunk of the setlist is new to me. Some genius decided to add a reissue of Kratz’s album ‘Cross The Line’ as a bonus disc, this of course allowed me to familiarise myself with the studio recording versions of much of the setlist. Not only does this re-issue, which itself features a handful of bonus tracks, make this album value for money but it also helps people new to Kratz to get a fuller picture of his music.

I can take or leave live albums, this is mainly down to the fact I find regardless of how much I may enjoy them initially I don’t return to them often, usually this is in favour of the studio recorded versions. The live albums I do tend to return to have something strong about them that captures me and encourages me to revisit them, a great example of this is Magnum’s ‘Stronghold’ which contains amongst others the best version of ‘Back To Earth’.

So, does Kratz’s live album do that, well I’d say yes, but not because the live versions are specifically better or have more impact than the studio but because the set has a very uplifting and relaxing tone. Therefore, making it a very enjoyable listen that suits various moods, to chill out with or even trying to cheer yourself up after a hard day.

It’s extremely well produced with a crystal-clear sound. It captures the live feeling without distortions or obtrusive imperfections, the crowd noise isn’t overbearing and the sound mix is perfect. This allows for maximum enjoyment, nothing is as good as actually been there but this does give you in an insight in to Kratz live. His band are flawless and obviously extremely experienced live performers and Kratz is spot on with his rich and emotive vocals coming across with a great impact.

This is an essential listen for fans of the softer stuff, although Kratz is a new name to not just me but I’m sure many Fireworks readers he is a true master of the art of Westcoast AOR. I love stuff like this and I’m sure many others will too!

Essential Track – ‘Hypnotised’

Lyrics

Girl, I wanna tell you why
Why my world is yours, my heart is yours
’cause you make me feel alive

And I wanna tell you why
Why I care for you, like I shouldn’t do
When I really know, you’re not mine

Oh it feels so good, shivering inside me
When I see your smile, softly coming to me
And when I hear your voice saying that you need me
Tonight you’ll be here by my side

Girl, I wanna tell you why
Why I miss you so, even though
You’re right beside of me

And I wanna tell you why
Why I say to you, that I want you
I hope you want me too

Oh It feels so good, shivering inside me
When I see your smile, softly coming to me
And when I hear your voice saying that you need me tonight

Girl, I’ll make you mine, make you cross that line
You don’t need no sign to cross that line
Let me bring your heart, to a brand new start
You and I will make a brand new start
Because, you will be so fine, never left behind
You will never ever feel left behind
You need no sign to cross that line

Now I wanna tell you why
Why I look at you, the way I do
I’m blown away by your smile

And I wanna tell you why
Why I hope you do, love me to
When I sing this song for you

Girl, I’ll make you mine, make you cross that line
You don’t need no sign to cross that line
Let me bring your heart, to a brand new start
You and I will make a brand new start
Because, you will be so fine, never left behind
You will never ever feel left behind
You need no sign to cross that line

Girl, I’ll make you mine, make you cross that line
You don’t need no sign to cross that line
Let me bring your heart, to a brand new start
You and I will make a brand new start
Because, you will be so fine, never left behind
You will never ever feel left behind
Girl, I’ll make you mine, make you cross that line

Anni I dont how to say that I care
Anni I don’t know how to show what I feel
And I would like you to be shure that I’m here
I want you to know the feeling that I’m near

Way to long, on and on
You and I forgot to live along
Now it’s time for holding on again
Moving on, on and on
You and I must learn to live as one
Now it’s time for holding on again

Anni I picture you inside my mind
Bringing together things we left behind
I see you forever staying here by my side
I see us together as one of a kind

Way to long, on and on
You and I forgot to live along
Now it’s time for holding on again
Moving on, on and on
You and I must learn to live as one
Now it’s time for holding on again

Way to long, on and on
You and I forgot to live along
Now it’s time for holding on again – time for holding on
Moving on, on and on
You and I must learn to live as one
Now it’s time for holding on again, yeah

Waiting to long
You and I forgot to live along
Now it’s time for holding on again
Moving on, on and on
You and I must learn to live as one
Now it’s time for holding on again

Another rainy day
Can’t get up, fighting just to stay
This man was on his way
Lived a life in honesty, he lived everyday
Remember the seconds, counting down

Now, time is running out
Living with an enemy, living in a cloud
Some days just passing by
Some days will be like yesterdays.
Keep the spirit high!
Hold on to the seconds, still counting down

(Time to live)
Every day is a new begining
(Take your time)
To live in the moment
(Everyday)
Don’t make it be for nothing
(Live your life)

One minute – had it all
Now it seems so far away, it’s written on the wall
Feet solid on the ground
A minute after happiness
His world turned upside down

(Time to live)
Every day is a new begining
(Take your time)
To live in the moment
(Everyday)
Don’t make it be for nothing
(Live your life)

Even in the passing moment of you life
Feel the glory of things you leave behind
you have marked your steps, all along the line
we remember you, we carry you in our minds

(Time to live)
Every day is a new begining
(Take your time)
To live in the moment
(Everyday)
Don’t make it be for nothing
(Live your life)

(Time to live)
Every day is a new begining
(Take your time)
To live in the moment
(Everyday)
Don’t make it be for nothing
(Live your life)

Time to live

Take your time

Everyday

Live your life

Don’t you
Don’t you know that I would climb the highest mountain just
to reach you at the top

And don’t you
Don’t you know that I would honestly be true to you
when others seems to stop

Don’t you know that I will please you
Don’t you know that I will treat you nice
Don’t you know that I will give you more
of that love you’re dreaming of…

Don’t you know that I will please you
Don’t you know that I will treat you nice
Don’t you know that I will give you more
of that love you’re dreaming of…

Don’t you
Don’t you think that we could be a happy family
with children all around

And wont you
wont you please give me a second chance to prove to you
that we are meant to be

Don’t you know that I will please you
Don’t you know that I will treat you nice
Don’t you know that I will give you more
of that love you’re dreaming of…

This time I promise you
It will be the way you choose
’cause you know I love you

Don’t you know that I will please you
Don’t you know that I will treat you nice
Don’t you know that I will give you more
of that love you’re dreaming of…

Don’t you know that I will please you
Don’t you know that I will treat you nice
Don’t you know that I will give you more
of that love you’re dreaming of…

I kind of woke in misery
Thinking how will tomorrow be
Feeling cold and lonely

Get some coffee and a cigarette
The morning hasn’t broken yet
No sun, no light, no nothing

I kick grass, hangin’ out all day
Cut a sixpack, just trying to stay on top
at least until’ we’re together

Spent alone this Saturday
Yesterday’s so far away
I see your lips on my pillow

Your fragrance hanging in the room
Reminds me that you left too soon
Call me now, I’m dying

I kick grass, hangin’ out all day
Cut a sixpack, just trying to stay on top
at least until’ we’re together
Just a thought from a clever mind
A thought that needs to be redefined
Then again, it seems to be gone forever

Caught in the eye of a hurricane
Desperate looking for another lane
Confused, so misled, on my own

Should I rely on the love of mine?
Should I expect to be left behind?
Growing doubt, going low, left alone

I kick grass, hangin’ out all day
Cut a sixpack, just trying to stay on top
at least until we’re together
Just a thought from a clever mind
A thought that needs to be redefined
Then again, it seems to be gone forever

Dizzy state of mind
Just a thought from a clever mind
Dizzy state of mind

I remember till’ the day, that I die
When I met you, you should be mine

When I look into your eyes, I can see
What it is you mean to me

Girl, I need you to be mine
Now and forever
I need you here by my side, yeah
When I look at you, I wish
I could live forever
I don’t wanna leave behind the thing we have, oh no no no

Though it’s hard for me to say what I feel
I wanna show you it’s for real

When I look into your eyes, I still see
What it is you do to me – yeeaaah ….

Girl, I need you to be mine
Now and forever
I need you here by my side, yeah
When I look at you, I wish
I could live forever
I don’t wanna leave behind the thing we have, no no

Did I ever tell you why I need you by my side?
Did I ever tell you why I cry?
Did I ever tell you, all the things I leave behind?
The things that makes me who I am – yeah yeah yeah …..

Girl, I need you to be mine
Now and forever
I need you here by my side, yeah
When I look at you, I wish
I could live forever
I don’t wanna leave behind the thing we have

She makes me cry in the night
And I wish I could fly
Instead of live in this lie

She knows what make me sad
And she does what she can
To make it all go mad

She know, she know, she know
That this might be the end
And she don’t seem to care much
That’s not my sin

Can you make me feel strong
Can you make me be happy
Then I wanna hold you
And I wanna love you
Can you make me feel glad
Can you make me feel alive
Then I wanna please you
And I wanna kiss you

She knows what’s bringing me down
And she loves to make – make me feel like a clown
She knows that I couldn’t see
When she turned me off
And brought me down on my knees

I know, I know, I know
That she wont break apart
If I move away from here
And try to make a brand-new start

Can you make me feel strong
Can you make me be happy
Then I wanna hold you
And I wanna love you
Can you make me feel glad
Can you make me feel alive
Then I wanna please you
And I wanna kiss you

Can you make me feel strong
Can you make me be happy
Then I wanna hold you
And I wanna love you
Can you make me feel glad
Can you make me feel alive
Then I wanna please you
And I wanna kiss you

Can you make me feel strong
Can you make me be happy
Then I wanna hold you
And I wanna love you
Can you make me feel glad
Can you make me feel alive
Then I wanna please you
And I wanna kiss you

Can you make me feel strong
Can you make me be happy
Then I wanna hold you
And I wanna love you
Can you make me feel glad
Can you make me feel alive
Then I wanna please you
And I wanna kiss you

Like father, like son
To be loved by the only one
It’s a gift to believe
You’re holding on
When your father is gone

Like father, like son
He’s the one that we look upon
And the hard times will come
They all seems gone
When your father hang on

On and on you just fade away
Holding on to the dreams you made
Still believe in all the love he gave
Now it seems to fade away

Now, life will go on
Forgotten promises were left undone
You gotta live for today
At the end of your stay
Nothing’s left to portray

And soon you’ll be the one
To be loved, and to be looked upon
You’re the rock to hold on
His number one
So be a father for your son!

On and on you just fade away
Holding on to the dreams you made
Still believe in all the love he gave
Now it seems to fade away

On and on you just fade away
Holding on to the dreams you made
Still believe in all the love he gave
Now it seems to fade away

Like father, like son
To be loved by the only one
It’s a gift to believe
You’re holding on
When your father is gone

Everything is torn
I can’t believe the things I have done
The world turns upside down
With that look in your eye

As you’re lying with me
And I’m lying to you

I could run and hide
But it would not change what’s been broken inside
I would end up doing it all again
with someone new

So now you’re lying with me
And I’m lying to you

The world turns upside down
Now I’m up in the sky
I really don’t know how to feel
You should go your own way
So I can give in to this high
I think it’s time to say – Goodbye

Morning presses on
Soon we’ll feel the warmth of the sun
It’s becoming very clear
That we won’t make it through

When you’re lying with me
And I’m lying to you

The world turns upside down
Now I’m up in the sky
I really don’t know how to feel
You should go your own way
So I can give in to this high
I think it’s time to say – Goodbye

But I’m stuck in the dream
And I don’t know what to do
When you’re lying with me
And I’m lying to you

Sleeping Mama
you had to leave me, I know it hurt you so
And it was hard for me, to let you go

Sleeping Mama
We didn’t choose to let it go this way
We ran out of time, before we knew

I believe you’re telling me, I must be strong
I believe you’re here with me, to keep me carry on
No matter what I do, you’re with me all the way
And that’s how it stays

Sleeping Mama
I wish you could hear me, when I’m telling you
God I loved you so, I’m sure you know

Sleeping Mama
There’s just so many things, I would like to say
If I could bring you back to me again

I believe you’re telling me, I must be strong
I believe you’re here with me, to keep me carry on
No matter what I do, you’re with me all the way
And that’s, and that’s how it stays

I know – you see me
You know – I see you too
I know – you see me
You know – I see you too

I believe you’re telling me, I must be strong
I believe you’re here with me, to keep me carry on
No matter what I do, you’re with me all the way
And that’s how it stays

I remember when you set me free
I recall it wasn’t ment to be
But I don’t know how
We could have stayed together

I remember how you cried that night
I wish I could have been there just to hold you tight
But I don’t know how
Things just when on and on and on ….

So the time went by and I don’t why
I never told you why I did it
But I guess you know that it hurt me so
And I regret it, yeah

I wish you could live along here with me
I wish you could be around me to see
I wish I could do it all again, take away your pain
Believe me, but I don’t know how
I never had to give up when you set me free
’cause you were always here in my heart with me
It was you and only you, I should’ve held on to
believe when I tell you now, I don’t know how

Now it’s time for me to leave behind
The thoughts that I have kept in my mind
I’ve lived to learn
that things will only get better

As you told me, when I was a boy
Life is filled with happiness, sorrow and joy
I’m sure you see
I remember the things you told me

And I promise you now, I will live somehow
and bring the message that you gave me
Pass along those words, even though it hurts
I won’t regret it, yeah

I wish you could live along here with me
I wish you could be around me to see
I wish I could do it all again, take away your pain
Believe me, but I don’t know how
I never had to give up when you set me free
’cause you were always here in my heart with me
It was you and only you, I should’ve held on to
believe when I tell you now, I don’t know how

She’s out of time
Empty handed lovers know what it’s like
She walks the line, bending over far too many times
She pretends she can’t talk but reacts
‘Cause it hurts when she walks that’s a fact

She hits the street, early in the morning on her feet
A place to go
Just run away from all you´ve ever known
For the last time for the last time

Out there somewhere
This town is lost without you
Your leaving I’m leaving too
(Empty handed lovers know)
One down, it’s all around
This town is lost without you

They wash their hands
Empty hearted lovers they know the dance
And on the line Daddy’s working late kiss mom goodnight
For the last time

Out there somewhere
This town is lost without you
Your leaving I’m leaving too
(Empty handed lovers know)
One down, it’s all around
This town is lost without you
Your leaving I’m leaving too

Out there somewhere
This town is lost without you
Your leaving I’m leaving too
(Empty hearted lovers know what it’s like)
One down, it’s all around
This town is lost without you
Your leaving I’m leaving too

You were gone
I was feeling low
What went wrong
I don’t know

About to cry
And I really felt I’d rather die
Than see you leave
With another guy

What did I
Do to make you leave tonight
What could I’ve done to make it right
What did I
Do to make you change your mind
You know I tried to be so kind

Emptiness
No more love to come
All alone on the run

You turned me on
Just to bring me down to my knees
I feel the pain, let it ease

What did I
Do to make you leave tonight
What could I’ve done to make it right
What did I
Do to make you change your mind
You know I tried to be so kind

By now you should know my heart
You know it belong to only you
And I’ve been waiting, waiting
God, I’ve been waiting for you
I don’t know what to do
I wish you would take my heart
With you, with you

What did I
Do to make you leave tonight
What could I’ve done to make it right
How could I
Make you change your mind
You know I tried to be so kind

Look what we’re running from
They don’t know what’s about to come
They’ve been tryin’ to keep all of us
In this prison cell – it’s so obvious

But we’ve been growing in numbers
Enlightened and unafraid
And now the walls are starting to crack
Yeah, it’s time to react

This machine’s been controlling our world
But now it’s time to take it out
The truth about you will soon be unfurled
No matter how much you scream and shout

Wait one minute – the window is closing
And I’ll get us out of here
Wait one second – this party is over
I’ll promise you this:
You’ll never take us alive

You’ve been infected by greed
Yeah, it’s like a sickness – How much do you really need?
Have you got anything left to show?
No, I didn’t think so

This machine’s been controlling our world
But now it’s time to take it down
I’ve got this match and I’ll burn
Your house right to the ground

Wait one minute – the window is closing
And I’ll get us out of here
Wait one second – this party is over
I’ll promise you this:
You’ll never take us alive

Wait one minute – the window is closing
And I’ll get us out of here
Wait one second – this party is over
I’ll promise you this:
You’ll never take us alive

Wait one minute – the window is closing
And I’ll get us out of here
Wait one second – this party is over
I’ll promise you this:
You’ll never take us alive

Evil rumours hit you like a hurricane
When simple egos play their silly game
Nothing you might say, would make ‘em go away
You gotta live with it, you’re not the on to blame

I can’t believe it’s true
Although I know everybody do
I see another motive in the picture
And I just wanna cry cry …..
I cry for you

Envy people, they try to break you down
Expose you all around to be a stupid clown
The more you fight it, the more they try to bring you down
Even though it hurts, you gotta stick around

Hold on to your dreams, make ‘em go your way
In the end you know you’re here to stay

I can’t believe it’s true
Although I know everybody do
I see another motive in the picture
And I just wanna cry cry ….
I cry for you
For you, cry for you

Hold on to your dreams, make ‘em go – your way
Wipe away the fear,
hold your head up high – in the end
you know you’re here to stay
So just move on to another lane

I can’t believe it’s true
Although I know everybody do
I see another motive in the picture

And I just wanna cry cry ….
I cry for you
And I cry …..
Cry for you, cry for you, cry for you

It’s getting dark in the city
I walk around alone
I wonder why I act so silly
And ended up here, on my own

I can tell you’ve been crying
And it hurts me so
And I know I’ve been lying
But I just want you to know

I know, that to me
You and I are meant to be
Not alone but together
Lets keep in mind the day we met
I see no reason to regret
(That) You and I got together

As I walk across a byway
I wonder where you are tonight
Could it be you’re heading my way?
I gotta get it right

I’ve been waiting, I’ve been watching
Every move you make
I’ve been sitting at your doorstep
Now it’s more than I can take

I know, that to me
You and I are meant to be
Not alone but together
Lets keep in mind the day we met
I find no reason to forget
Why you and I got together – got together, yeah

I know, that to me
You and I are meant to be
Not alone but together
I know, that to me
You and I are meant to be
Not alone but together
Lets keep in mind the day we met
I see no reason to regret
Why you and I got together

Well, I walk on this empty road
With my guns ready to explode oh oh
They send me out to this desert place
With no regrets and no way to retrace

But tonight, I’m not ready to die tonight
Not tonight, uh I’m not ready to die tonight

I got a family
Mum and Dad and little She oh oh
I wish it never was meant to be
This will end and we’ll never meet again

‘Cause tonight, I’m not ready to die tonight
Not tonight, uh I’m not ready to die tonight

I’m a lonely soldier, I’m a lonely soldier
I’m a lonely soldier

A drummer rolls a steady beat
While a young man is brought down to his knees
They shot him dead, how can it be
They kill for nothing, why can’t they just let him be

‘Cause tonight, I’m not ready to die tonight
I’m not ready to die tonight

I’m a lonely soldier, I’m a lonely soldier
I’m a lonely soldier

I see fraiden faces behind wicket doors
I see children lying dead on the lower floors
The silence seems so scary
A lot more that my mind can really carry

I wonder how this world was meant to be?
This world of make-believe
It’s hard to pretend to like what I see!

Just another ordinary “Scary Planet” day
Another Breaking News
It’s hard to believe the actions of the human race

We all live in this nation
Children of the world, breathing the same air
We all live in this nation
No more lives in fear, how can we not care?

For a moment, I can look upon the deep blue sky
The sky will ease my mind
But I know someone else’s sky is daunting dark

We all live in this nation
Shine a little light, brighten up their day
We all live in this nation
Too many life’s lost, we must find a way

We all live in this nation
Children of the world, breathing the same air
We all live in this nation
No more lives in fear, how can we hang on?

We all live in this nation
We don’t need to live in fear, we all need to be here!

We all live in this nation
Children of the world, breathing the same air
We all live in this nation
No more lives in fear, how can we not care?

We all live in this nation
Shine a little light, brighten up their day
We all live in this nation
Too many life’s lost, we must find a way

We all live in this nation
Children of the world, breathing the same air
We all live in this nation
No more lives in fear, how can we not care?

We all live in this nation
We all live in this nation

I don’t know what’s on my mind
I don’t know what’s left behind
All I know is what you’re leading me to see
And it feels so right

Moving closer, I’m alive
Meditation, flying high
My defense is weak, I’m a Puppet in your hand
Still it feels so right

You, you, you want me
To, to, to kiss you
Don’t say no go! (no go no go no go no)
You, you, you got me
On my knees
I’m in too deep, there’s no way out for me
I’m hypnotized by you

Trying harder to resist
Wonder why we ever kissed
Compromise myself, don’t believe in fate
But still it feels so right

You, you, you want me
To, to, to kiss you
Don’t say no go! (no go no go no go no)
You, you, you got me
On my knees
I’m in too deep, there’s no way out for me
I’m hypnotized by you

Now set me free
You don’t care about me
I’m hypnotized, I’m hypnotized

You, you, you want me
To, to, to kiss you
Don’t say no go! (no go no go no go no)
You, you, you got me
On my knees
I’m in too deep, there’s no way out for me
I’m hypnotized by you

Girl, I wanna tell you why
Why my world is yours, my heart is yours
’cause you make me feel alive

And I wanna tell you why
Why I care for you, like I shouldn’t do
When I really know, you’re not mine

Oh it feels so good, shivering inside me
When I see your smile, softly coming to me
And when I hear your voice saying that you need me
Tonight you’ll be here by my side

Girl, I wanna tell you why
Why I miss you so, even though
You’re right beside of me

And I wanna tell you why
Why I say to you, that I want you
I hope you want me too

Oh It feels so good, shivering inside me
When I see your smile, softly coming to me
And when I hear your voice saying that you need me tonight

Girl, I’ll make you mine, make you cross that line
You don’t need no sign to cross that line
Let me bring your heart, to a brand new start
You and I will make a brand new start
Because, you will be so fine, never left behind
You will never ever feel left behind
You need no sign to cross that line

Now I wanna tell you why
Why I look at you, the way I do
I’m blown away by your smile

And I wanna tell you why
Why I hope you do, love me to
When I sing this song for you

Girl, I’ll make you mine, make you cross that line
You don’t need no sign to cross that line
Let me bring your heart, to a brand new start
You and I will make a brand new start
Because, you will be so fine, never left behind
You will never ever feel left behind
You need no sign to cross that line

Girl, I’ll make you mine, make you cross that line
You don’t need no sign to cross that line
Let me bring your heart, to a brand new start
You and I will make a brand new start
Because, you will be so fine, never left behind
You will never ever feel left behind
Girl, I’ll make you mine, make you cross that line

I remember when you set me free
I recall it wasn’t ment to be
But I don’t know how
We could have stayed together

I remember how you cried that night
I wish I could have been there just to hold you tight
But I don’t know how
Things just when on and on and on ….

So the time went by and I don’t why
I never told you why I did it
But I guess you know that it hurt me so
And I regret it, yeah

I wish you could live along here with me
I wish you could be around me to see
I wish I could do it all again, take away your pain
Believe me, but I don’t know how
I never had to give up when you set me free
’cause you were always here in my heart with me
It was you and only you, I should’ve held on to
believe when I tell you now, I don’t know how

Now it’s time for me to leave behind
The thoughts that I have kept in my mind
I’ve lived to learn
that things will only get better

As you told me, when I was a boy
Life is filled with happiness, sorrow and joy
I’m sure you see
I remember the things you told me

And I promise you now, I will live somehow
and bring the message that you gave me
Pass along those words, even though it hurts
I won’t regret it, yeah

I wish you could live along here with me
I wish you could be around me to see
I wish I could do it all again, take away your pain
Believe me, but I don’t know how
I never had to give up when you set me free
’cause you were always here in my heart with me
It was you and only you, I should’ve held on to
believe when I tell you now, I don’t know how

I remember till’ the day, that I die
When I met you, you should be mine

When I look into your eyes, I can see
What it is you mean to me

Girl, I need you to be mine
Now and forever
I need you here by my side, yeah
When I look at you, I wish
I could live forever
I don’t wanna leave behind the thing we have, oh no no no

Though it’s hard for me to say what I feel
I wanna show you it’s for real

When I look into your eyes, I still see
What it is you do to me – yeeaaah ….

Girl, I need you to be mine
Now and forever
I need you here by my side, yeah
When I look at you, I wish
I could live forever
I don’t wanna leave behind the thing we have, no no

Did I ever tell you why I need you by my side?
Did I ever tell you why I cry?
Did I ever tell you, all the things I leave behind?
The things that makes me who I am – yeah yeah yeah …..

Girl, I need you to be mine
Now and forever
I need you here by my side, yeah
When I look at you, I wish
I could live forever
I don’t wanna leave behind the thing we have

Sleeping Mama
you had to leave me, I know it hurt you so
And it was hard for me, to let you go

Sleeping Mama
We didn’t choose to let it go this way
We ran out of time, before we knew

I believe you’re telling me, I must be strong
I believe you’re here with me, to keep me carry on
No matter what I do, you’re with me all the way
And that’s how it stays

Sleeping Mama
I wish you could hear me, when I’m telling you
God I loved you so, I’m sure you know

Sleeping Mama
There’s just so many things, I would like to say
If I could bring you back to me again

I believe you’re telling me, I must be strong
I believe you’re here with me, to keep me carry on
No matter what I do, you’re with me all the way
And that’s, and that’s how it stays

I know – you see me
You know – I see you too
I know – you see me
You know – I see you too

I believe you’re telling me, I must be strong
I believe you’re here with me, to keep me carry on
No matter what I do, you’re with me all the way
And that’s how it stays

Don’t you
Don’t you know that I would climb the highest mountain just
to reach you at the top

And don’t you
Don’t you know that I would honestly be true to you
when others seems to stop

Don’t you know that I will please you
Don’t you know that I will treat you nice
Don’t you know that I will give you more
of that love you’re dreaming of…

Don’t you know that I will please you
Don’t you know that I will treat you nice
Don’t you know that I will give you more
of that love you’re dreaming of…

Don’t you
Don’t you think that we could be a happy family
with children all around

And wont you
wont you please give me a second chance to prove to you
that we are meant to be

Don’t you know that I will please you
Don’t you know that I will treat you nice
Don’t you know that I will give you more
of that love you’re dreaming of…

This time I promise you
It will be the way you choose
’cause you know I love you

Don’t you know that I will please you
Don’t you know that I will treat you nice
Don’t you know that I will give you more
of that love you’re dreaming of…

Don’t you know that I will please you
Don’t you know that I will treat you nice
Don’t you know that I will give you more
of that love you’re dreaming of…

I kind of woke in misery
Thinking how will tomorrow be
Feeling cold and lonely

Get some coffee and a cigarette
The morning hasn’t broken yet
No sun, no light, no nothing

I kick grass, hangin’ out all day
Cut a sixpack, just trying to stay on top
at least until’ we’re together

Spent alone this Saturday
Yesterday’s so far away
I see your lips on my pillow

Your fragrance hanging in the room
Reminds me that you left too soon
Call me now, I’m dying

I kick grass, hangin’ out all day
Cut a sixpack, just trying to stay on top
at least until’ we’re together
Just a thought from a clever mind
A thought that needs to be redefined
Then again, it seems to be gone forever

Caught in the eye of a hurricane
Desperate looking for another lane
Confused, so misled, on my own

Should I rely on the love of mine?
Should I expect to be left behind?
Growing doubt, going low, left alone

I kick grass, hangin’ out all day
Cut a sixpack, just trying to stay on top
at least until we’re together
Just a thought from a clever mind
A thought that needs to be redefined
Then again, it seems to be gone forever

Dizzy state of mind
Just a thought from a clever mind
Dizzy state of mind

Anni I dont how to say that I care
Anni I don’t know how to show what I feel
And I would like you to be shure that I’m here
I want you to know the feeling that I’m near

Way to long, on and on
You and I forgot to live along
Now it’s time for holding on again
Moving on, on and on
You and I must learn to live as one
Now it’s time for holding on again

Anni I picture you inside my mind
Bringing together things we left behind
I see you forever staying here by my side
I see us together as one of a kind

Way to long, on and on
You and I forgot to live along
Now it’s time for holding on again
Moving on, on and on
You and I must learn to live as one
Now it’s time for holding on again

Way to long, on and on
You and I forgot to live along
Now it’s time for holding on again – time for holding on
Moving on, on and on
You and I must learn to live as one
Now it’s time for holding on again, yeah

Waiting to long
You and I forgot to live along
Now it’s time for holding on again
Moving on, on and on
You and I must learn to live as one
Now it’s time for holding on again

Well, I walk on this empty road
With my guns ready to explode oh oh
They send me out to this desert place
With no regrets and no way to retrace

But tonight, I’m not ready to die tonight
Not tonight, uh I’m not ready to die tonight

I got a family
Mum and Dad and little She oh oh
I wish it never was meant to be
This will end and we’ll never meet again

‘Cause tonight, I’m not ready to die tonight
Not tonight, uh I’m not ready to die tonight

I’m a lonely soldier, I’m a lonely soldier
I’m a lonely soldier

A drummer rolls a steady beat
While a young man is brought down to his knees
They shot him dead, how can it be
They kill for nothing, why can’t they just let him be

‘Cause tonight, I’m not ready to die tonight
I’m not ready to die tonight

I’m a lonely soldier, I’m a lonely soldier
I’m a lonely soldier

I see fraiden faces behind wicket doors
I see children lying dead on the lower floors
The silence seems so scary
A lot more that my mind can really carry

I don’t know what’s on my mind
I don’t know what’s left behind
All I know is what you’re leading me to see
And it feels so right

Moving closer, I’m alive
Meditation, flying high
My defense is weak, I’m a Puppet in your hand
Still it feels so right

You, you, you want me
To, to, to kiss you
Don’t say no go! (no go no go no go no)
You, you, you got me
On my knees
I’m in too deep, there’s no way out for me
I’m hypnotized by you

Trying harder to resist
Wonder why we ever kissed
Compromise myself, don’t believe in fate
But still it feels so right

You, you, you want me
To, to, to kiss you
Don’t say no go! (no go no go no go no)
You, you, you got me
On my knees
I’m in too deep, there’s no way out for me
I’m hypnotized by you

Now set me free
You don’t care about me
I’m hypnotized, I’m hypnotized

You, you, you want me
To, to, to kiss you
Don’t say no go! (no go no go no go no)
You, you, you got me
On my knees
I’m in too deep, there’s no way out for me
I’m hypnotized by you

It’s getting dark in the city
I walk around alone
I wonder why I act so silly
And ended up here, on my own

I can tell you’ve been crying
And it hurts me so
And I know I’ve been lying
But I just want you to know

I know, that to me
You and I are meant to be
Not alone but together
Lets keep in mind the day we met
I see no reason to regret
(That) You and I got together

As I walk across a byway
I wonder where you are tonight
Could it be you’re heading my way?
I gotta get it right

I’ve been waiting, I’ve been watching
Every move you make
I’ve been sitting at your doorstep
Now it’s more than I can take

I know, that to me
You and I are meant to be
Not alone but together
Lets keep in mind the day we met
I find no reason to forget
Why you and I got together – got together, yeah

I know, that to me
You and I are meant to be
Not alone but together
I know, that to me
You and I are meant to be
Not alone but together
Lets keep in mind the day we met
I see no reason to regret
Why you and I got together

Like father, like son
To be loved by the only one
It’s a gift to believe
You’re holding on
When your father is gone

Like father, like son
He’s the one that we look upon
And the hard times will come
They all seems gone
When your father hang on

On and on you just fade away
Holding on to the dreams you made
Still believe in all the love he gave
Now it seems to fade away

Now, life will go on
Forgotten promises were left undone
You gotta live for today
At the end of your stay
Nothing’s left to portray

And soon you’ll be the one
To be loved, and to be looked upon
You’re the rock to hold on
His number one
So be a father for your son!

On and on you just fade away
Holding on to the dreams you made
Still believe in all the love he gave
Now it seems to fade away

On and on you just fade away
Holding on to the dreams you made
Still believe in all the love he gave
Now it seems to fade away

Like father, like son
To be loved by the only one
It’s a gift to believe
You’re holding on
When your father is gone

Evil rumours hit you like a hurricane
When simple egos play their silly game
Nothing you might say, would make ‘em go away
You gotta live with it, you’re not the on to blame

I can’t believe it’s true
Although I know everybody do
I see another motive in the picture
And I just wanna cry cry …..
I cry for you

Envy people, they try to break you down
Expose you all around to be a stupid clown
The more you fight it, the more they try to bring you down
Even though it hurts, you gotta stick around

Hold on to your dreams, make ‘em go your way
In the end you know you’re here to stay

I can’t believe it’s true
Although I know everybody do
I see another motive in the picture
And I just wanna cry cry ….
I cry for you
For you, cry for you

Hold on to your dreams, make ‘em go your way
Wipe away the fear, hold your head up high
in the end you know you’re here to stay
So just move on to another lane

I can’t believe it’s true
Although I know everybody do
I see another motive in the picture
And I just wanna cry cry ….
I cry for you
And I cry …..

Cry for you, cry for you, cry for you

On my own – I was feeling good
Living life as I wanted to
Right on track – with no direction
But all that changed when i met you

Now I feel like I can touch the sky
Just need to be near you

First time I saw you I was hypnotized
So blown away by your beauty
You cracked a smile and I was paralyzed
It felt just like in the movies

And now I feel like I can touch the sky
Just need to be near you

It’s just the way you call me
That makes me feel like another man
It’s just the way you look at me
Dragging me outside

You took my hand and then we ran away
A life of passionate splendor
Well, now we’re old and I just have to say
To your love I still surrender

Now I feel like I can touch the sky
Just need to be near you

It’s just the way you call me
That makes me feel like another man
It’s just the way you look at me
Dragging me outside

It’s in the way you kiss me
That makes me smile like no one else
It’s just the way you make me feel
Dragging me outside

The boy is waiting now
In tears he wonder why
His Daddy ain’t coming home

Looking at the door
As many times before
Tears are falling from his eyes

A boy is waiting now
In tears he wonder why

So this i Christmas?
So this is what I’ve been waiting for?
If this is Christmas
Then I would rather live without
Christmas
Mmm Christmas

Then he saw one night
His mother prayed and cried
Looking at some photographs

I close my eyes to see
How it’s supposed to be
But Daddy still ain’t coming home

Christmas goes on and on
Noone should ever be alone

So this i Christmas?
So this is what I’ve been waiting for?
If this is Christmas
Then I would rather live without

I wish no children should be alone this Christmas
I wish no children should be ill this Christmas
I wish all children will be smiling and laughing
I wish all children will have a joyful Christmas

So this i Christmas?
So this is what I’ve been waiting for?
If this is Christmas
Then I would rather live without

So this i Christmas?
So this is what I’ve been waiting for?
If this is Christmas
Then I would rather live without
