Monkey Business
Welcome to the crème de la crème
Where money and power unite
Be the witness of a long dispute
As greed and freedom collide
We’re not afraid of radicals
We’re not afraid of crime
We’re rushin’ into scandal
The peace bell don’t chime
We don’t want your monkey business
We don’t want to make your move
Magnify the seed of hatred
Back it up again, elude
Talk talk talk, what is on, who is out?
You’re signing your own deal of doom
On a needle bed paraglide
I’m not afraid of sentence
As long as I know who to bribe
I’m not afraid of hating you
God knows I’ll pay the price
Chorus
In need of repetition
Say it again, and again and again and again and again
The devil is real, what he breaks we heal
Either get in or get out
I’ll name you someone to detest
A body to dress up with all your protest
I couldn‘t care less for your mundane casualties
Call it freedom, if you please
If you please
If you please
Chorus
We don’t want your monkey business
We don’t want to make your move…
We’re not afraid, we’re not afraid of crime
So get in, get in, get in or get out
Feather-light
Come closer, a little bit closer
So I can see the winter is over
My head in the clouds
Nowhere left to walk through
I couldn’t hide
Only one left to follow, one
I’m feather-light on higher ground
And by your side I’m safe and sound
And I know these words might seem untrue
The table’s turning yet I know it’s you
I’m feather-light on higher ground
Dig deeper for time’s such a healer
I’m ready to be, to be a believer
And if that’s all there is I keep loving the moments to come
Holding my breath ‘til I’m gone with a song
And the walls of my earth break one by one
‘Til every piece of me will be gone
Chorus
Whenever the storm breaks you come for me
Walk with me through the shades I feel no fear
And I know these words might seem untrue
The table’s turning yet I know it’s you
I’m feather-light on higher ground
I’m feather-light on higher ground
I’m feather-light on higher ground
Little Voice
I don’t remember the day it’s begun
You said you wanted peace and then you fired a gun
I know you think your blood’s worth more than mine
Practice and theory, well they don’t align
Who am I to judge your demons and saints
Battling inside, negotiation derails
And in the end there’s just no perfect choice
The critics, all others remain unvoiced
I don’t blame you for what you’re doing
Right here before my eyes
I know there’s no denying of the little voice inside
You want my money honey well it depends
I’ll only help you if it favors my friends
In fact I’ll dominate you to the core
On a dead-end road you’ll be pushing more
Chorus
Come inside, everything’s shiny and bright
I coloured it all as you like, you see
Believe me, the papers said it was true
They kill so many more than we do
Chorus
I know there’s no denying of the little voice inside
I don’t remember the day it’s begun
Circles
I turn to you
Counting the circles around the moon
Here for a night you keep me safe inside
This life
I’ve never imagined to leave behind
Everything I have dreamed of dries up
Like raindrops in my hand
But we’re okay and for today
I hold on to what I feel
I’ve loved you so for all I know
It could be a million years
I’m standing still
Afraid to let go I don’t move a thing
I’ve made it alone
How dare you paint my cardboard heart so blue
Chorus
A million years
You know it could be a million years
You know it could be a million years
You know it could be a million years
You know it could be a million
In another life
Do you every seek where I hide
I never wanted more, I never wanted more, more
Chorus 2x
A million years
You know it could be a million years
You know it could be a million years
You know it could be a million years
You know it could be a million
No Fear
All sunny days leave for autumn
All living years turn to dust
I hoped for one thing remaining
Truly, truly us
So you can bring me down to my knees
You can fill me up with vacancy
I got no fear
You can smash my love to the ground
You can find a heart to trample on every time
I got no fear
I remember the days of hearty laughter
I was a child sunken in your arms
A state of innocence, a mirage, a dream-to-be
Lord what have we done
Chorus
Funny how everything gets stretched to tune
History seems so, so dramatic
One day when we all go black and white
One day when we turn to polaroid print
No fear no fear of dying
No fear no fear of dying
No fear no fear of dying
No fear no fear of dying
Chorus
Saving All The Love
Every day, every endless night
You’re in my prayer
You’re on my mind
It’s hard to look ahead when you’re left behind
Clasping the past but I can’t trick time
Whatever mess I make, however deep the bruise
I’ll be saving all the love for you
I cannot hesitate, singing love instead of blues
I’ll be saving all the love for you
I know it’s true there’s someone like you
And even if it’s hard to see this someone is meant for me
So it goes but nobody knows
How long before I give away
My self, my whole, my heart on sale
Chorus
Saving all the love, I’ll be saving all the love
And it’s all for you, all for you
Saving all the love, I’ll be saving all the love
And it’s all for you, all for you
I’ll be saving all the love for you
I cannot hesitate, singing love instead of blues
I’ll be saving all the love for you
Saving all the love, I’ll be saving all the love
And it’s all for you, all for you
Saving all the love, I’ll be saving all the love
And it’s all for you, all for you
Overboard
Here from where I stand this brittle land is dark
All marked with bruises and stains
I was just supposed to savor all I’ve got
But this I gently threw away
God oh please
Singing God help me please
Pull me overboard and set me free
God oh please, singing God help me please
Pull me overboard and set me free
Half a little full, a little empty
Love, I reckon either way I’ve changed
A little late, a little sorry now
Can’t lay all the blame on fate
Singing, God oh please
God help me please
Pull me overboard and set me free
God oh please, singing God help me please
Pull me overboard and set me free
Trouble
They say you get what you see
Well I’m enjoying the sight
Approach carefully, the prey’s in a flattering light
As he reaches the bar to get a vodka gin
He looks so wunderbar
I need to get him, get him, get him, get him, get him
Hey man you mean trouble
You’ll be takin’ all my love and make it double
Hey man you mean trouble
You’ll be takin’ all my body make it rumble
I love the life with a little touch of spice
You’re givin’ me excited appetite
I could lay here all day on his crème brulee skin
The taste of chardonnay
I need to get him, get him, get him, get him, get him
Chorus
I could shout it from the rooftop lately
No one’s ever moved me like
You, only you, only you
I could lay here all day
Thinkin’ how it could be
The taste of chardonnay
I need to get him, get him, get him, get him, get him
get him, get him, get him, get him, get him
get him, get him, get him, get him, get him
get him, get him, get him, get him, get him
Chorus 2x
I could shout it from the rooftop lately
No one’s ever moved me like
Be Loved
I feel love in so many ways
So many traces, warm embraces keep coming up
And if you choose to break away
I’d never ever leave the thought of you
You’re gonna be loved
However it feels now, you’re gonna be loved
You’re gonna be loved
Whatever the odds are, you’re gonna be
In the leaves that circle on the street
The bird on the trees and the morning fog I long to see
And the man who’s playing with his dog
I feel love, just love it or not
You’re gonna be loved
However it feels now, you’re gonna be loved
You’re gonna be loved
Whatever the odds are, you’re gonna be
I believe the truth’s unsaid inside
Underneath my skin and bones
His body, a fragment of my self
But there’s much more that you don’t see
You’re gonna be loved
However it feels now, you’re gonna be loved
You’re gonna be loved
Whatever the odds are, you’re gonna be
You’re gonna be loved
In The Deep
I could pretend this is love, this is what I seek
But in the end we’ll crumble
Life is too short to live half-heartedly
And so I go and tumble
But I can’t get no sleep
No I can’t get no sleep ‘til I find you
And I can’t get no sleep
No love, no fire
I shall be taken by the hand when least expected
I wanna feel right as rain with somebody
But it’s all in my head and it’s making me mad
When I only wanna be me, oh me
I can’t get no sleep
No I can’t get no sleep ‘til I find you
I can’t get no sleep
/Forget all the trouble, make joy out of pain
Forget all the lover’s the one’s got away/
I can only live and love for today
I can only live and love for today
When I can’t get no sleep
No I can’t get no sleep at all
I’ll find it in the deep
My love, my fire
