love on trial

our love is on trial
they put our love on trial
i don’t have an alibi
our bodies are evidence
if our love is on trial
i am not guilty of this crime
i acted in self defence
i aint gonna do no time
I’m pleading innocence
if our love is on trial
you got no evidence
that crime is not my style
I’m plead self defence
can i get a witness
can i make a denial?
you don’t have no proof
this whole case is futile
if our love is on trial
if our love is on trial
you said love is the law
where is the smoking gun
aint no bullet in chamber
it weren’t aimed at anyone
you got no motive for this crime
’you got no proof of what i done
you be my judge and jury
you said they throw away the key
’but i’ll take you down baby
on my judgement day
i put you under cross examination
see what part you had to play
ihey put our love on trial
i don’t have an albi
our bodies are evidence
if our love’s on trial
i am not guilty of this crime
i acted in self defence
i aint gonna do no time
i pleaded innocence

i dig you the most
oh well i think you’re a gas
so strictly for laughs
well i might a pass at you
when you’re around i act like a fool
you’re so hip and i’m so uncool
some crazy scene,
way out I mean ,
like somewhere over the moon
then you change your tune
say goodnight too soon
then you are gone you’re a ghost
you’re so unreal you’re so unsquare
well I dig you the most
but you’re never there
baby you’re nowhere
to be found around me
but i dig you the most anyway
i blame the bossanova
bluebirds flying over
that i dig it the most with you
it’s such a crazy scene
pretty baby
way out i mean ‘kemo sabe’
like somewhere over the moon
your so unreal your so unsquare
like i dig you the most
but you’re never there
it’s so unfair
that your nowhere
around me.

this city is burning

'this city is burning'
when i awoke this morning
sunlight streamed thru my window
the sky was blue
the sky was blue
outside my window
the church bells the church bells rang
the bells were ringing
outside my window
this city is old
the streets have no name
somewhere there is a garden
somewhere there is a garden
this city is burning
this city is burning
when i woke up this morning
sunlight streamed thru my window
the sky was blue
the sky was blue
when i woke up this morning
the church bells rang
outside my window
the bells were ringing
the bells were ringing
this city is burning
behind a high wall
a wall of concrete and stone
behind a high wall
there is a garden
this city is burning
the flames rise high
into the sky
into the blue sky
there is a rose
a rose in the garden
a red red rose
the name of the rose
is the death of love
this city is burning
this city burns all night long
the flame leap high into the sky
i have been to that garden
perhaps it was in a dream
i saw the red red rose
the deal of love
the death of love
i saw the red red rose
when i woke up this morning
flames reached high itno the sky
this city is burning
this city is burning
this city is burning
the flames reach high into the sky
the name of the rose is the death of love
who will be spared by morning
they read their holy books and they pray

this will never change

footsteps in the sand
along an endless shore
streets of concrete and clay
the tide will wash all this away
night must turn into day
good friends will lose their way
the show goes on the rain must fall
thunder clap and curtain call
crowded hours in shopping malls
the silences in long dark halls
the time will come for me and you
streets and sidewalks disappear
the hope we shared the love the fear
the loudest drum will beat slow
the minutes pass the rivers flow
time and tide will close the show
good friends will turn away
who knows where they will go
the show goes on the rain must fall
thunder clap and curtain call
crowded hours in shopping malls
the silences in long dark halls

when robots kiss
when robots kiss
they use a higher logic
they dream of immortality
the give machine head
that sound is the march of history

invisible

take a look at my life, there's no mystery, then i think of all the promises made to you and me. sometimes i think i'd like to be, invisible to you and to me…all the colours fade to grey minutes turn to hours and the hours drift away...sometimes i think i'd like to be invisible to you and me...
all the colours fade to grey minutes turn to hours and the hours fade away, when i don’t know where to look i always look away…
take a look at my life, there’s no mystery, sometimes i this i’d like to be sometimes i’d like to be…when i don’t know where to look i always look away or I talk some small talk when they say
sometimes i think i’d like to be invisible to you and to me sometimes i think i’d like to be invisible to you and me. sometimes i think i’d like to be…

There was a revolution in the streets below
We saw it on TV.
She said. 'isn't anybody out there, anymore?' Then,
'what's this whole world coming to?'
'Or, do you think, it's something we can never know?
Should we just sit back and watch the river flow? Never
question the meaning of existence.
Because it's something we can never know?'
Or do you think
It's something we can never know.
Qualities of life don't get analysed on TV
and the best things are impossible to find.

the laws of physics

the laws of physics
so i come home to an empty house,
nothing stirs not even a mouse
my girlfriend left me
she went home to her mother
the dog went with her
the cat got a better offer
and i’d love to get even
but according to a sage
when you look for revenge
you just dig two graves
so i’ll just let the
laws of physics apply
bugs will crawl, birds will fly
and the moon will roam
thru the night sky
smoke will rise, rocks will fall
lovers will kiss gutter crawlers will crawl
yes the laws of physics will always apply
and girls will always make boys cry
yes girls will always make boys cry
for i feel like I’m watching myself on tv
even tho this violates the
general principle of relativity
but I’m sure that einstein
who was a very clever guy
would have to admit,
that according to probability and
as sure as you go to
a black hole when you die
girls will always make
boys cry,
boys cry, boys cry
so in this tv show i’m watching
i come home to an empty house
nothing stirs not even a mouse
my girlfriend left
she said she went to her mother
but the guy who picked her up
sure didn’t look like her brother
the dog went with her
the cat just hightailed it
and i’m the only living thing here
oh well i guess that’s not very fair
to the moths and the spiders
and the microbes inside us
they live and die and
maybe have their own dreams
but excuse me if i don’t
break out the box of tissues
and I don’t shed a tear over
their tiny little issues
for i am centre stage
in my own melodrama
and the web of intrigue
that is some spider’s karma
as she plays life and death with a moth or a fly
well, i’ll just have to let
the laws of physics apply
for the laws of physics clearly state
there is a principle you cannot violate,
it’s pure and simple, who knows why,
it’s an eternal truth
like the value if pi
for the laws of physics
will always apply
and girls will always make
will always make
boys cry boys cry boys cry

by half
