In these bodies we will live, in these bodies we will die
Where you invest your love, you invest your life
In these bodies we will live, in these bodies we will die
Where you invest your love, you invest your life
Samoa wechselt über Datumsgrenze
Der Pazifikstaat Samoa und die neuseeländische Inselgruppe Tokelau sind westwärts über die Datumsgrenze gewechselt. Um Mitternacht begann auf den Inseln der 31.Dezember - der 30.Dezember fällt in diesem Jahr aus. Auf diese Weise sollen Zeit und Datum an die der Handelspartner in der Region angepasst werden.
Mit dem Sprung über die Datumsgrenze ist Samao nun der Staat, der weltweit als Erster das neue Jahr begrüßen kann: Schon um 11.00 Uhr MEZ am Silvestertag werden die rund 200.000 Einwohner die Sektkorken knallen lassen.
Lying in my bed, I think of you
That song goes through my head, the one we both knew
In each line lies another line full of sacred sound
But you're outside where the companies dream and the money goes round
Lying in my bed,
Watching my mistakes,
I listen to the band they said that it could be the 2 of us
The snow might fall and write the lines on the silent page
But you're outside making permanent love to the nuclear age
Two silhouettes by the cash machine make a lovers dance
It's a tango for the lonely wives of the business class
Lying in my bed
Watching my mistakes
I listen to the band
Lying in my bed
With nothing much to say so I listen to the man
He said that it could be the 2 of us
I heard you call from across the city through the stereo sound
And so I crawled there sickeningly pretty as the money went round
Lying in my bed watching my mistakes
I listen to the band
And the drums beat in my head
Pianos chime the sound in this prison of the house
And as the illness comes again can you hear me through the rain
As I listen to the band?
As I sing the silent song
Mime each lonely word
Please listen to the man he said that it could be the 2 of us
Alone but not lonely, you and me
Alone but loaded.........
He's gone
You've lost
Stay behind
and count the cost
You try
You lose
You don't fall in love by chance
You choose
It's a decision made over time
Should you take a risk and start to climb the steepest hill only to find halfway there you've been left behind?
Choosing to love is risking a lot and trying to change and to give all you've got
But don't pretend it comes out of the blue
You take a chance and see it through and if it's refused what can you do?
Continue hopefully? Start anew?
Lick your wounds
Buy your booze
You won't get drunk by accident
You'll choose
Don't blame him
for refusing your bid
He didn't decide to love
You did
Learn the lesson
Take the blows
You didn't fall in love by chance
You chose
Play the sad songs
Sing the blues
You don't fall in love by chance
You choose
Just running scared,
each place we go.
So afraid that he might show.
Yeah, running scared,
what would I do
If he came back, and wanted you?
Just running scared,
feeling low.
Running scared.
You loved him so.
Just running scared,
afraid to lose.
If he came back,
which one would you choose?
Then, all at once,
he was standing there.
So sure of himself,
his head in the air.
My heart was breaking.
Which one would it be?
You turned around and walked away with me.
I can't get no sleep
The devil, you and me
I trust the days
I'm sceptic about the night
I can hear the cold silence speaking to me
And whilst I'm listening the world collapses in slow and mortal motions
The lake of luck lost its water
The desert's growing
The sand takes control of the animals
The nature is slowly changing
I stand at the former banks of the river
Where once the water ran from the lake to the sea
Now death finds his new home
I'm still lying in bed waiting for the end of the night
Still wasting time until this nightmare is over
I'm shivering and eating my finger nails
Losing sleep
Losing self-consciousness
I declare war to the world
I start sending my troops to killing fields
Fighting against the evil possibilities and never ending fear of life
Hey, I'm still waiting for the next day
I promised to wait and love
To live and go on
Finding myself in every good thing in life
Now I can hear steps behind the door of my bedroom
