Spring,
won’t you come again?
After all you’ve just passed by
and I want you to stay
Every time you go away I feel like everything’s
kind of dying here, dying in me
and I surely have some problems dealing with you leaving
so I wait here hopelessly
Spring
all over the place
I want you to play me
and drive me insane
Every time you look at me as if I’m something special
I just believe it, I believe it
I’ve been fooled so many times I guess I should have learned
but I just wait here hopelessly
Sometimes
I need a summer full of rain
I need a summer full of rain
but I can’t make it if you desert me
Spring
please, don’t be late
oh, would you take me, shake me, break me,
remake me again?
Every time I feel that what I really need has finally
come this way, come my way but
I’m a cat who’s just got in but then is asking you
to go out again with no shame
Sometimes
I need a summer full of rain
I need a summer full of rain
but I can’t make it if you desert me
Spring
spring
all over the place
all over the place

Something practical

I, I don’t mind
if I don’t know why
I don’t get this (nobody could)
I won’t get this (nobody would)
can’t ignore that life’s such a bore
and it ain’t the summer no,
we have to find another goal
we have to find another goal
we have to find another goal now
and it ain’t just love
and it ain’t just love alone
I, I don’t mind
if I can tell the reason why
and then just forget it
I don’t get this (nobody could)
I won’t get this (nobody would)
can’t get used to thinking it’s work
that will set you free, you know
we have to find another goal now
we have to find another goal now
we have to find another goal now
and it ain’t just love
and it ain’t just love alone
no it’s not
babe, save me please
I don’t get this (nobody could)
I won’t get this (nobody would)
I know no one’s better than you
and I aim for nothing more
until we find another goal
until we find another goal
until we find another goal, I guess
that some love could do
it won’t hurt
we have to find another goal
we have to find another goal
we have to find another goal now
something practical and affordable
the stupidest thing
stick around!

It’s Friday night
and you just ask for something
that keeps you alive
there’s no fortune in your pockets
here you die
and who can understand
the pain of a man
born in the wrong time
caught on the wrong side
born in the worst part of the world
part of the world
It’s 3 a.m.
those creepy politicians
will drive you mad
their speeches are like a bomb
in your head
but who can understand
the pain of a man
can you understand?
born in the wrong time
(I was) caught on the wrong side
born in the worst part of the world
part of the world
Here you die
Here you die
born in the wrong time
caught on the wrong side
born in the worst part of the world
(I was) born with a sad smile
(and I’m) torn between two lies
(I was) born in the worst part of the world
part of the world
Here you die
You’re here to die

I can feel a white heat that saves me from madness
from madness
I can’t take a one way that leads me to sadness
to sadness
Do you think it’s time to say goodbye?
Would you share some goodness for tonight?
Do you think one word can ruin it all?
Better take my eyes off you
better close my heart to you
Do you live for one day?
Do you live for the time to set the world on fire?
to vanish for a while?
I can feel everything slipping from my hands
from my hands
I can’t stand your own way of messing with my plans
oh, what plans?
Do you think it’s time to say goodbye?
Would you share some goodness for tonight?
Do you think one word can ruin it all?
Better take my eyes off you
better close my heart to you
Do you live for one day?
Do you live for the time to set the world on fire?
Do you live for one day?
Do you live for the time to set the world on fire?
to vanish for a while?
to get some peace of mind?
I can feel a white heat that saves me from madness
Do you think one word can ruin it all?
Better take my eyes off you
better close my heart to you
another moon, another moon
Do you live for one day?
Do you live for the time to set the world on fire?
Do you live for one day?
Do you live for the time to set the world on fire?
to vanish for a while?
to get some peace of mind?

Drive you out
03:59

Now you find yourself
in the middle of nowhere
I can’t find the right words
so I just say nothing
I will drive you out
let us leave this rotten town
where dreams stink
Now I find myself
in the middle of nothing
and I just got fairy tales
as a means to escape
I will drive you out
and I promise we’ll get lost
where does summer go
when I
I just fight with doubts
and the leaves they’ve all turned brown
and all music has been turned down
and the road is the only place
that we can call home so I drive
the reasons wear lives down
the reasons wear lives down
the reasons wore out
We just got comet tails
to hang and float away
I won’t let you down
even though I may crack sometimes
are you looking for a fool
who says stupid things to make you smile
well now you’ve just found one
at least I’m gonna try
at least I’m gonna try
at least I’m gonna try
