Dream Rider 04:10
DREAM RIDER (Mona Mur) Say your real name now Show your real face as I show mine Time to reveal it Time to reveal it I try to believe it trying to breathe it Into my body I could be fading Into the sea Like a leech sucks on my brain Beautiful beautiful Like a light so shiny and vain Exquisite beautiful There’s a leech that sucks on the world Burning her before time Heaven waits on the southern shore It calls for me it waits Should we not leave from here Like a leech sucks on my brain Many years from now I Try to reveal the deal Way too lazy To get by Way too far Too far out Like a light so shiny and vain We might as well leave from here Dream Rider Dream Dream Rider Outsider Dream Dream Rider Dream Rider Outsider…………… Outsider…………………. Outsider

Shades 02:40
SHADES (Die Gedanken machen die Dinge) Die Gedanken machen die Taten Und die Taten machen frei Die Gedanken machen die Dinge Die Dich leiten, nach Dir schrei‘n Die Gedanken machen die Taten Und die Taten machen high Hab' Dir meinen Wunsch verraten Bald ist's vorbei Die Gedanken machen die Dinge Die Gedanken machen die Taten Gedanken machen Spiele Ich sag's damit das klar ist Die Gedanken machen die Taten Und die Taten machen frei Kleiner Schatz Du bist dismissed Jetzt weißt Du wie das ist

Motörhead If you like to gamble, I tell you I'm your man You win some, lose some, all the same to me The pleasure is to play, makes no difference what you say I don't share your greed, the only card I need is the Ace of Spades The Ace of Spades Playing for the high one, dancing with the devil Going with the flow, it's all a game to me Seven or eleven, snake eyes watching you Double up or quit, double stake or split, the Ace of Spades The Ace of Spades You know I'm born to lose, and gambling's for fools But that's the way I like it baby I don't wanna live for ever And don't forget the joker! Pushing up the ante, I know you gotta see me Read 'em and weep, the dead man's hand again I see it in your eyes, take one look and die The only thing you see, you know it's gonna be the Ace of Spades The Ace of Spades

SCHIELDWALL I've been walking /on my own Righteous pledges overthrown All my life / skull and bone Owned myself and nothing s going’ to smash that shelf Down the ocean, up in smoke Hatred, envy, greed and hope For a bullet and a boot I ‘ve forsaken all my brood Do you like it ? Do you like it ? A knife/ A sword/ A drum /A club A knife A sword A drum A club A knife A sword A drum A club My sword was too short But my time hasn t come A knife A sword 8 drummers and A club A knife A sword A whip A gun A knife A drum A fist A gun A knife A drum A fist A gun O so beautiful and shiny It’s your duty my beauty I've been walking down that lane Broke my oath, caused much pain Hear them whine and see them bleed Is the only thing I need Do you like it ? Do you like it ? For a bullet and a boot I ‘ve forsaken all my brood Do you like it ? Do you like it ? A fist A blade My dagger came too late A fist A blade My dagger came too late A word a sword a fist a gun A knife A drum A whip A gun A word A thought A knife A sword A gun A blade my dagger from the shade from the shade A fist A runt Much heat to heal A seeed A wheel A word Will heal And rain will fall A whizz A snail A rant A fist A seed All hail A knife a sword a whip a gun A knife a sword a whip a gun ……Walkin on my own All my life skin and bone When I crawl towards the sun They will see I m not the one Didn t you like it ?

Warriors 04:30
BURY MY HEART Spent my life life among the warriors Have received their major brain Have been armed by wailing foresters Rush inside and mind the rain I ve been riding with the warriors Have been buried in the moors Have conceived another warrior Have been swearing to the force Clear your mind and concentrate We’re heading towards the final shore Stuck in front of Heaven’s gate Another lap once more Stabbed to death for wealth and glare Our souls are on the run Riding on a midnight cloud Our blades will meet again Our blades will meet again Spent my life life among the warriors Have received a major brain Have been armed by wailing foresters Rush inside and mind the rain I ve been riding with the warriors Have been buried in the moors Have conceived another warrior Have been swearing to the force Riding on a midnight cloud Upwinds towards the final beach Travel where my tears will take me Our blades will meet Our blades will meet I ll bury your heart I ll bury your heart I ll bury your heart

VENUS AND MARS Venus and Mars Sharing their fate Kingdoms have come Kingdoms decayed I let you down Revealing my crown ‘Till the morning wait Then I ‘ll open the gate oh so tender and clean Just a beautiful scheme Angels so soft Tore down the siege Angel of scorn Slick like a leech Only you waste my time Orgies and fame Straight from the Stars From Venus and Mars A faint sweet smile Just a moment in time Just so tender and keen Taking over the scene I ll be shadow and flame Fiery island to reign People speak for themselves Dream a dream and nothing else.

Rake 03:30
RAKE (by Townes van Zandt) Well, I used to wake and run with the moon I lived like a rake and a young man I covered my lovers with flowers and wounds My laughter the devil would frighten The sun she would come and beat me back down But every cruel day had it's nightfall I'd welcome the stars with wine and guitars Full of fire and forgetful Well, my body was sharp, the dark air clean And outrage my joyful companion Whisperin' men how sweet did they seem Kneelin' for me to command them And time was like water but I was the sea I wouldn't have noticed it passin' Except for the turnin' of night into day And the turnin' of day into cursin' I was takin' my pride in the pleasures I'd known I laughed and said I'll be forgiven But my laughter turned 'round eyes blazing and said My friend, we're holdin' a wedding I buried my face but it spoke once again The night to the day we're a bindin' And now the dark air is like fire on my skin And even the moonlight is blinding Now the dark air is like fire on my skin And even the moonlight is blinding

Your Eyes 04:03
YOUR EYES Your eyes Always take me softly by surprise, my love Even star’s fading Morning’s much too mean to set me free From your ever wicked startling eyes From your oh so wicked eyes Until the end of time They never ever fail to hypnotize Oh these tricky treacherous eyes Your lies. You are so cold Like the frozen sea To me So cold Touch me softly Sag’ es leis‘ I have seen these treacherous eyes Oh Darling Even star is fading Morning’s just so far away from the sea It’s too much for me Your lies.
