BACK
Even in the darkest hour

Even in the darkest hour 
When the world is fast asleep 
I sit by candlelight with memories 

When the wind was oh so cold 
I used to hold you baby, hold 
I'd like to hold you in my arms just like before 

I thought I could live without you 
That it wouldn't be so hard 
But now when you going loco 
I'm left with my losing card 

How I wish the rain could fall like pearly dewdrops from the sky 
Similar to the teardrops falling from my eyes 

Quel Dommage

Quel Dommage 
This was supposed to last forever 
I used to say it's now or never 
Quel Dommage 

Quel Dommage 
I never meant to cause you sorrow 
If it's gone today there's no tomorrow 
Quel Dommage 

I could be wrong I could be right 
Oh baby, don't turn on the lights 
You look so gorgeous in the light of the moon 
Stay until noon, my love 

But in the dark you went away 
All I can do now is to pray 
It seems that all you ever left in my room 
Was me alone again 

Milan, Madrid, Chicago, Paris

Milan, oh! Madrid, Chicago, Paris 
I searched and I searched again 

I turned around to see if you were looking back 
I saw your eyes and fell in love 
I cought a glance of heaven but was thrown away 
So now my quest is search the world for you 

Milan, oh! Madrid, Chicago, Paris 
I search all over the world for you 
Havana, Berlin, Hawaii, Brasil 
I search and I search again 

My hope was running dry then finally one day 
I saw a face I've seen before 
You smiled at me but said 
I really care, I do 
But in love and married to another man 

Lychee

I'm so tired of losing 
How am I supposed 
To know when you're not talking 
And feel when you don't show 
The chain around your neck will strangle you soon 
All that you still conceal 
The gum that you chew will suffocate you 
Secrets you should reveal 

I who tried to focus on every need 
Turned into an actor 
When showing how I feel 
The chain around your neck will strangle you soon 
All that you still conceal 
The gum that you chew will suffocate you 
Secrets you should reveal 

Such a big mistake 
And don't you dare deny 
It's hidden and forgotten 
You didn't even try 
The chain around your neck will strangle you soon 
All that you still conceal 
The gum that you chew will suffocate you 
Secrets you should reveal 

She's mine but I'm not hers

There was a time when I was playing rough 
But nowadays I take it sort of cool 
Why do I feel this way 
I don't wanna be alone 
She's mine but I'm not hers 

Everytime we meet it's wonderful 
And though she only loves me as a friend 
I always want to see her 
But I hate to say goodbye 
She's mine but I'm not hers 

She's mine, she's mine 
She's mine but I'm not hers 

Now and then I meet her and her man 
I must admit I used to like him too 
But see them walk together 
It just makes me wanna cry 
She's mine but I'm not hers 

They always keep their TV on at night 
So no one in the house can hear them fight 
But I've seen the bruices 
And I know about the scars 
She's mine but I'm not hers 

She's mine, she's mine 
She's mine but I'm not hers 

Sunshine of your smile

The sun always shines 
Since we got together 
There's no cloud in sight 
It confiscates the darkness 
Sunshine, sunshine 
It burns my skin 
Reminds me of the blush 
The first time we kissed 

The sunshine of your smile 
The sunshine of your smile 

It makes me warm 
The same kind of warmth 
As your embrace 
A ray of bright light 
Reflecting like a mirrorball 
Leaves sunstains on me

A letter to Lulu-Mae

I decided one day to write you a letter and tell you how much I care 
And about how it feels when you walk beside me and the joy of being a pair 
I remember the day we got together I remember it like today 
I was struck by lightning that's why I'm writing a letter to Lulu-Mae 

You were standing on the porch as I drove up the driveway as lovely as one can be 
You would make any man so greatful of living and you choose a man like me 
Though I work all day and sometimes all evening I never had no complaints 
We've been friends though fighting that's why I'm writing a letter to Lulu-Mae 

I decided one day to write you a letter from my tent here in my platoon 
You send me a poem 
Quite hope I'll see you soon 
From your Mr. Lonely 
The one and only 
A letter to Lulu-Mae 

Sudden Death

Try to see through false-coloured eyes 
Promise to act like grown-ups do 
Is it in my genes or jeans I do not know 
Stuck in a never-ending daydream 
A well-hidden secret all those years 
It's understood I send my regards to you 

Tears of joy to tears of despair 
Scratches my back with razor-sharp nails 
The queen is gone and there's no time to speak 
Still in an ever-lasting nightmare 
The song of a ghost is following me 
A salted truth out of false belief 

It's over, it's over, I will always remember you name 
It's over, it's over, and without you it won't be the same 

This sudden death is coming 

I guess I'm just a fool

I guess I'm just a fool 
Still dreaming of you 
But the way the story ended 
What else can I do ? 

You said I was too good to you 
Too good and too sweet 
Back then you never turned 
Bitter and discreet 

Breaking up is always hard 
But this one was harder than the rest 
But in the end I hope I'll come out well 

I guess I'm just a fool 
What else can I do ? 

Friday at Rex

She showed me how to dance on the floor 
The moves I could use 
Each Friday at the Rex we would meet 
Sometimes without words 

The doorman said if you had arrived 
What colours you wore 
I wish we could have stayed all night 
And never, never stop 

The DJ played the songs we choose 
Your moves just hypnotized me 
Oh how I wish he plays another song 

She always move her feet to the groove 
And all the heads turn 
So call your friends and bring them along 
And get down on the floor 

I'm here, I'm there I'm everywhere 
When I feel the beat 
With you in the round on the floor 
And love in your eyes 

The DJ played the songs we choose 
Your moves just hypnotized me 
Oh how I wish he plays another song 

I wish we could have danced all night 
And never, never stop 

The sly seducer

The sly seducer came to town 
A time when everything was fine 
He turned this idyll upside down 
Laid sleezy hands upon what's mine 
He's dangerous 

The sly seducer, the sly seducer, the sly seducer stole my love 
The sly seducer, the sly seducer, the sly seducer stole my love 

He captures fragile guileless girls 
Vampire-teeth in virgin-necks 
And paralyses them with words 
Touch upon touch 'til it wrecks 
He's dangerous 

As the serpents touch 
The sly seducer stole my love
