I’m not grateful for my luck
because I believe
I truly believe
that my glory days are all gone
despite of your words
encouraging words
In a country I despise
but I’ll never leave
well, tomorrow maybe
For I’m sacrificing my life
trying to get home
but which one is my home?
’ Cause I was raised in the wrong country
Yes , I was raised in the wrong country
I’m not grateful for my luck
the house on the beach
means nothing to me
So I’m liberating this dirt
before I grow cold...
(and I will grow cold)
‘Cause I was raised in the wrong country
Yes , I was raised in the wrong country
I’m not grateful for my luck
and why should I be?
take a look at me
Not a member of your club
I don’t want your love
don’t give me your love
‘Cause I was raised in the wrong country
‘Cause I’m a stranger in my own family
and I will be alone forever
because of being so ungrateful.

If you guide me I will follow
I will be your shade
Through the dungeons of tomorrow
every word you say
If you guide me I will follow you
oh-oh-oh
Through the dungeons of tomorrow
“walk with me”, I heard you say
If you guide me I will follow
when I fall from grace
through the darkness and the sorrow
pains of yesterday
If you guide me I will follow you
oh-oh-oh
Through the dungeons of tomorrow
“walk with me” I heard you say
If you guide me I will follow
I won't let you down
For you are my torch, my candle
I won’t let you down
If you guide me I will follow
let me be your shade
through the dungeons of tomorrow
If you guide me I will follow you
oh-oh-oh
Through the dungeons of tomorrow
“walk with me” I heard you say
If you guide me I will follow you
oh-oh-oh
Through the dungeons of tomorrow
“walk with me” I heard you say
Oh yes you said
I know you did

Not In The Mood For Love
03:44
|
|||
|
It’s not that I don’t want it
you know it’s not like that
but if i can be honest
I’m not up to the task
I would rather have supper
and then go straight to bed
I hate to see you suffer
but I’m not in the mood for love
I’m not in the mood for love
I’m not in the mood for love
I’m not in the mood for making love
We can walk around the park
watch a movie or just talk
but baby I’m not in the mood for love
Let me tell you darling
that I had a busy day
I’m feeling really tired
Our thing will have to wait
Oh, please now don’t start crying
I tell you every time:
I still find you attractive,
I’m just not in the mood for love
I’m not in the mood for love
I’m not in the mood for love
I’m not in the mood for making love
We can walk around the park
watch a movie or just talk
but baby I’m not in the mood for love
baby I’m not in the mood for love
oh-oh-oh-oh
Why is it so important
oh-oh-oh-oh
to have it everyday?
oh-oh-oh-oh
I’m declining the offer
so what can I say?
I’m not in the mood for love
I’m not in the mood for love
I’m not in the mood for making love
We can walk around the park
watch a movie or just talk
but baby I’m not in the mood for love
baby I’m not in the mood for love
I’m not in the mood for love
I’m not in the mood for love
I’m not in the mood for making love
We can walk around the park
watch a movie or just talk
but baby I’m not in the mood for love
but baby I’m not in the mood for love
but baby I’m not in the mood for love
but baby I’m not in the mood…
I’m not!

Drink To Forget
03:25
|
|||
|
I don’t need to drink to forget
‘cause forgetting’s so easy for me
I don’t even suspect why I got so upset
guess I don’t need to drink to forget
I don’t need to drink to pretend
‘cause pretending’s so easy for me
I just got to look wild, never worried nor mild
guess I don’t need to drink to pretend
Both loves and hopes
what hurts the most
Won’t bother me at all
I guess I should be sorry
Yet there’s nothing to be sorry for
Then I may start to take the blame
for every day I spent
without regrets
I don’t need to drink to believe
‘cause believing’s so easy for me
All the gods up above, they await for my call
guess I don’t need to drink to believe
My emotions are carried away
Like the boat that is dragged by the waves
it can be so intense and then suddenly end
no, I don’t need to give it a name
Both loves and hopes
what hurts the most
Won’t bother me at all
I guess I should be sorry
Yet there’s nothing to be sorry for
Then I may start to take the blame
for every day I spent
without regrets
I don’t need to drink to forget
‘cause forgetting’s so easy for me
I never get obsessed with the ghost of the past
then I don’t need to drink to forget
no, I don’t need to drink to forget
‘cause forgetting’s so easy for me

Nomad
04:24

Closer, won't you come a little closer?
'cause life is such a rollercoaster:
You don't know what's to come
I wonder, if I get to cross that border,
will I have the chance to walk out
the day I want it so?
Homeland, I will never find my homeland
'cause I don't think I ever had one
Homeland, I'm not looking for my homeland
I'm only looking for my graveyard
I'm a nomad, such a nomad...
I just won't settle down
This far,
now that I've made it this far
I see no point and turn my head back
you know: what's done is done
Sorry, I'm not gonna say “I'm sorry”
for sneaking out this early morning
and haven't said goodbye
Homeland, I will never find my homeland
'cause I don't think I ever had one
Homeland, I'm not looking for my homeland
I'm only looking for my graveyard
Nomad, I'm always gonna be that nomad
I'm always gonna be that nomad
Nomad, I'm always gonna be that nomad
I'm always gonna be that nomad
indeed
I just won't settle down
Homeland, I will never find my homeland
'cause I don't think I ever had one
Homeland, I'm not looking for my homeland
I'm only looking for my graveyard
Nomad, I'm always gonna be that nomad
I'm always gonna be that nomad
Nomad, I'm always gonna be that nomad
I'm always gonna be that nomad
I just won't settle down...

I'm fighting my own demons
and I don't know If I'll win
It's such a painful struggle
that goes deep within
'Cause I don't want to let her down
like I did yesterday
then I'm fighting
my own demons
today
I nearly ruined it all
until I took the step
I was so blind and selfish,
at the edge of the cliff
now I’m leaving pride behind
and I do notice the change
‘cause I’m fighting
my own demons
today
It’s not easy
still I’m fighting my own demons everyday
She keeps on asking me
if I’m in love,
oh what a word!
and I can feel the distance
growing like one big wall
So I’m fighting now my ego
for I am sure it’s the only way
I need fighting
down my ego
today
what I mean is
that I’m fighting my own demons
everyday
I'm fighting my own demons
and I don't know
No, I don’t know

Alone Again
04:20
|
|||
|
I find myself alone again
this time, nobody will hear me screaming
Now, there's a burden I must bare.
In dreams, guilty thoughts are chasing me...
Like an angel from above, you just fell into my arms
Like a baby I hear you cry: never thought our love could die...
but yes it did...
Now I raise my glass
as I'm standing up
I propose a toast
to my shattered heart
and I say goodbye, yeah...
I'm finding hard to understand my love
How can I digest this feeling?
No, I don’t think I ever will
Tonite, guilty thoughts won't let me sleep
Like a garden without sun, where the flowers slowly rot
Like the mountains turn to sand, never thought our love could stand
a single year, but yes it did...
Now I raise my glass
as I'm standing up
I propose a toast
to my shattered heart
and I say goodbye, yeah...
Now I raise my glass
as I'm standing up
I propose a toast
to my shattered heart
and I say goodbye, yeah
and I say goodbye, yeah
and I say goodbye, yeah

I see shadows
crawling up the streets
fallen angels
each night of the week
This time it’s not my fault
There are rumors
that we’re getting worse
and we’re all frightened
victims of a curse
This time it’s not my fault
It’s someone else’s
I hear the engines
moaning on and on
this machinery
is about to stop
And when it happens
be prepared for war
but don’t come then
knocking at my door
Cause it won’t be my fault
blame it on others
All the fingers
pointing at me
it’s frustrating
so I must insist
this time it’s not my fault
This time it’s not my fault
it’s someone else’s

Goodbye Means I Love You

Goodbye Means I Love You
I remember waking up, it was snowing
so we went out to see
we discovered that the pond was frozen
such a lovely memory...
I thought we could get along now that is over
that we could keep the peace
but since the night you blew it up at my concert
I’ve got to tell you something really important:
Goodbye means I love you
Goodbye is forever
Goodbye means I love you
Goodbye and I wish you luck
I have now tremendous urge to be stronger
‘Cause I’m not used to this
I am used to running straight
to the mountains
but now it’s time to think if it was worth it
Goodbye means I love you
Goodbye is forever
Goodbye means I love you
Goodbye and I wish you luck
I am standing at this door
before I close it
‘cause I would like to speak
I can promise it won’t take long
just a moment
You’re giving me no choice
but to go through this
Goodbye means I love you
Goodbye is forever
Goodbye means I love you
Goodbye and I wish you luck
Goodbye means I love you
Goodbye means I love you
Goodbye means… goodbye.

What Happened To Myself?
03:46
|
|||
|
She always knows when I'm lying
And I would love to say
that everything’s all right
but I prefer to say nothing
I’m shutting my mouth up
like I’m a mannequin
yeah, that’s the best for me
She wants me to be straightforward
But then I get so scared
When she looks deep into my eyes
‘cause truth be told, I’m a coward
and words won’t come out
for I’m afraid to break
her only heart again
then, when is late, I’ll confess
For I know, I know
her love it shines like gold
So much that I won’t
be able to love in return
I know I won’t, but I’ll try
yes I’ll try
I hope one day she’ll forgive me
‘cause then I will stop wondering:
What happened to myself?
I once was a child
but that was long ago,
those were the ancient days
so innocent and wild
but what remains of him
has gone so far away
and you would never say
that I have become what I hate
For I know, I know
her love it shines like gold
So much that I won’t
be able to love in return
I know I won’t, but I’ll try
one last time
For I know, I know
her love it shines like gold
So much that I won’t
be able to love in return
I know I won’t, but I’ll try
one last time
