Alles fühlt sich so fremd an
doch wir sind beide per du
du schweigst so gerne
ich hör' so gerne zu

Immer dann wenn du fort musst
wünscht' ich Du würdest bleiben
denn du kennst meinen Teufel
und du kannst ihn austreiben
... du kannst ihn austreiben

Schritt für Schritt folge ich Deinen Worten
Schritt für Schritt geh ich mit Dir mit
denn ich weiß Du kennst Gefühle
die sind mir selber unbekannt

Du machst Dir viel Sorgen
was ich nicht ändern kann
doch der Mut meiner Dummheit
bringt uns beide voran
bringt uns beide voran

Immer dann wenn du Angst hast
werde ich größer und laut
wir tragen uns beide
ganz langsam hier raus
... langsam hier raus

Schritt für Schritt folgst Du meinen Worten
Schritt für Schritt gehst Du mit mir mit
denn Du weißt ich kenn Gefühle
die sind Dir selber unbekannt

I read your book
And I find it strange
That I know that girl and I know her world
A little too well
And I didnt know
By giving my hand
That I would be written down, sliced around, passed down
Among strangers hands

Three days in rome
Where do we go
Ill always remember
Three days in rome

Never again
Would I see your face
You carry a pen and a paper and no time and no words you waste
Oh youre a voyeur
The worst kind of thief
To take what happened to us
To write down everthing that went on between you and me

Three days in rome
And I stand alone
Ill always remember
Three days in rome

And what do I get
Do I get revenge
While you lay it all out
Without any doubt
Of how this would end
Sometimes it goes
Sometimes we come
To learn by mistake that the love you once made
Cant be undone

Three days in rome
I laid my heart out
I laid my soul down
Ill always remember
Three days in rome

Let it die and get out of my mind
We don't see eye to eye
Or hear ear to ear

Don't you wish that we could forget that kiss
And see this for what it is
That we're not in love

The saddest part of a broken heart
Isn't the ending so much as the start

It was hard to tell just how I felt
To not recognize myself
I started to fade away

And after all it won't take long to fall in love
Now I know what I don't want
I learned that with you

The saddest part of a broken heart
Isn't the ending so much as the start
The tragedy starts from the very first spark
Losing your mind for the sake of your heart
The saddest part of a broken heart
Isn't the ending so much as the start

THE AMERICAN:
Bangkok, Oriental setting
And the city don't know that the city is getting
The creme de la creme of the chess world in a
Show with everything but Yul Brynner

Time flies -- doesn't seem a minute
Since the Tirolean spa had the chess boys in it
All change -- don't you know that when you
Play at this level there's no ordinary venue

It's Iceland --
or the Philippines --
or Hastings -- or --
or this place!

COMPANY:
One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster
The bars are temples but the pearls ain't free
You'll find a god in every golden cloister
And if you're lucky then the god's a she
I can feel an angel sliding up to me

THE AMERICAN:
One town's very like another
When your head's down over your pieces, brother

COMPANY:
It's a drag, it's a bore, it's really such a pity
To be looking at the board, not looking at the city

THE AMERICAN:

Whaddya mean? Ya seen one crowded, polluted, stinking town
--

COMPANY:
Tea, girls, warm, sweet
Some are set up in the Somerset Maugham suite

THE AMERICAN:
Get Thai'd! You're talking to a tourist
Whose every move's among the purest
I get my kicks above the waistline, sunshine

COMPANY:
One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble
Not much between despair and ecstasy
One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble
Can't be too careful with your company
I can feel the devil walking next to me

THE AMERICAN:
Siam's gonna be the witness
To the ultimate test of cerebral fitness
This grips me more than would a
Muddy old river or reclining Buddha

And thank God I'm only watching the game --
controlling it --

I don't see you guys rating
The kind of mate I'm contemplating
I'd let you watch, I would invite you
But the queens we use would not excite you

So you better go back to your bars, your temples,
your massage
parlours --

COMPANY:
One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster
The bars are temples but the pearls ain't free
You'll find a god in every golden cloister
A little flesh, a little history
I can feel an angel sliding up to me

One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble
Not much between despair and ecstasy
One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble
Can't be too careful with your company
I can feel the devil walking next to me.

If you could read my mind love
What a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like an old time movie
bout a ghost from a wishin well
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
With chains upon my feet
You know that ghost is me
And I will never be set free
As long as Im a ghost that you cant see
If I could read your mind love
What a tale your thoughts could tell
Just like a paperback novel
The kind that drugstores sell
When you reach the part where the heartaches come
The hero would be me
But heroes often fail
And you wont read that book again
Because the endings just too hard to take

Id walk away like a movie star
Who gets burned in a three way script
Enter number two
A movie queen to play the scene
Of bringing all the good things out in me
But for now love, lets be real
* I never thought I could act this way *
And Ive got to say that I just dont get it
I dont know where we went wrong
But the feelins gone
And I just cant get it back

If you could read my mind love
What a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like an old time movie
bout a ghost from a wishin well
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
With chains upon my feet
But stories always end
And if you read between the lines
Youll know that Im just tryin to understand
The feelins that you lack
I never thought I could feel this way
And Ive got to say that I just to get it
I dont know where we went wrong
But the feelins gone
And I just cant get it back

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
And when she gets there she knows if the stores are closed
With a word she can get what she came for

Woe oh oh oh oh oh
And she's buying a stairway to heaven

There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure
And you know sometimes words have two meanings
In the tree by the brook there's a songbird who sings
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven

Woe oh oh oh oh oh
And she's buying a stairway to heaven

There's a feeling I get when I look to the west
And my spirit is crying for leaving
In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees
And the voices of those who stand looking

Woe oh oh oh oh oh
And she's buying a stairway to heaven

And it's whispered that soon, if we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason
And a new day will dawn for those who stand long
And the forest will echo with laughter

And it makes me wonder

If there's a bustle in your hedgerow
Don't be alarmed now
It's just a spring clean for the May Queen

Yes there are two paths you can go by
but in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on

Your head is humming and it won't go because you don't know
The piper's calling you to join him
Dear lady can't you hear the wind blow and did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind

And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our souls
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll
Woe oh oh oh oh oh
And she's buying a stairway to heaven

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
And when she gets there she knows if the stores are closed
With a word she can get what she came for

And she's buying a stairway to heaven, uh uh uh.

First time I saw her,
I wanted more than just to hold her.
I wanted to bend and fold her,
so I leant over and I told her.

Got myself a brand new girlfriend
Got myself a brand new girlfriend

So many messages to send,
got myself a brand new girlfriend
We wanna be, lapsed Catholic,
got the contraception,
haven’t got the knack yet.
We’ve tried it a variety of ways,
I’ve not slept in about 4 days.

Got myself a brand new girlfriend
Got myself a brand new girlfriend

Phone’s ringing all weekend,
got myself a brand new girlfriend
So many messages to send,
got myself a brand new girlfriend
Phone’s ringing all weekend,
got myself a brand new girlfriend

So, we went to the cinema,
we came home from the cinema
We went through the front door,
up the stairs, through the bedroom door,
onto the bedroom floor
I’ve seen her naked twice, I’ve seen her naked twice!
Brand new girlfriend

Phone’s ringing all weekend,
got myself a brand new girlfriend
So many messages to send,
got myself a brand new girlfriend
Phone’s ringing all weekend

Think I’m going round the bend
G-g-g-girlfriend, got myself a brand new girlfriend
And I think that I love her.

Words like violence
Break the silence
Come crashing in
Into my little world

Painful to me
Pierce right through me
Can't you understand
Oh my little girl

All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm

Vows are spoken
To be broken
Feelings are intense
Words are trivial
Pleasures remain
So does the pain
Words are meaningless
And forgettable

All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm

Enjoy the silence
