IT'S ALMOST LOVE (2014)

FOOLS

hey my little girl

how I’d like to swirl you ‘round

‘round and ‘round

let’s enjoy the ride

you can sit here by my side

I’m a dreamer

and you’re the dream I wanna dream

 

when I was 21

life had just begun to show

what I didn’t know

I was feeling fine and

I had my share of sunshine oh yeah

now that’s some time ago

now all I wanna know is

“do you do you love me do you”

 

you’re a fool

I knew it from the start

such a fool you opened up my heart

you’re a fool

you’ve got yourself to blame

and we’ll never

never be the same – again

 

let’s be fools let’s believe in love

we’ll make a wish

upon the stars above

let’s be fools

and make our dreams come true

we’ll make a life

a life for me and you

let’s be fools let’s believe in love

we’ll make a wish

upon the stars above

 

fools…….

THIS TIME

the rain is coming down

it’s allright allright

‘cause everything in sight

is allright, allright

 

I love you like I should

I thought I never could

I found my heart again

you’re a friend a real friend

 

reasons for despair

they’re all gone all gone

i know where I belong

the fear’s gone all gone

 

my past is on the run

but I’m still my father’s son

I’m coming back to you

oh you oh you

 

I believe I believe I believe in love this time

this time it’snever gonna let it slip away

I believe I believe I believe in love

this time, this time it's never gonna slip away

 

I’ve been searching hard for love

in my heart there was no trace

in heaven and in space

I’ve been looking in the wrong place

 

but now it seems more clear

now that your love is here

it opened up my eyes

no lies no lies

SAY WHAT YOU THINK IS TRUE

to say what you think is true
is good for your heart
it’s an exercise for your mind
for a start

but what you think is true
it changes all the time
yesterdays guiding star
today is less divine

say what you think and do what you feel
sounds like a piece of cake


but to say about yourself
what you really mean
could in a very short time
make you less keen

and to be who you wanna be all the time
could make life with your companions
hard to rhyme

doing what you really want
it could cost you your wife
saying what you really think
it could costs your life

just to know what you really feel
could take a lot of years
but when you’re there
say goodbye to your fears

saying goodbye to fear
makes you strong
and the power that you feel
it’s gonna last long

say what you think and do what you feel
open your mind and make your life real


trying to see yourself
as you really are
will make you forgive
and heal your scar

OURS

ours is the sky

ours are the trees

ours is the water

ours are the seas

ours is our mind

ours are our dreams

 

and we know what’s going on

yeah we know what’s going on

 

oil in the water

smoke in the air

hate in the family

blood everywhere

 

and we know what’s going on

and we know what we’re doing wrong

but we just pray not to be there

when it happens

 

ours are the walls

ours the polution

ours are all the wars

ours the solution

 

ours are the children

to raise in love

watch the children

they’re a gift from above

 

yes we know that it’s true

and we know what to do

we must be brave

look deep in our hearts

to change it, to change it

we must change it

LITTLE MISS FAITHFUL

I’ve been trying to reach
my baby by the phone
I’ve been trying to reach my baby
but she’s not home

got a real bad notion
what’s going on
and what’s goin on’s
been going on and on

and I’ve tried this thing before
and I know my girl
she’s not the most
faithfull in the world

I hear somebody’s shouting
in the back of my mind
are you going to put up with it
one more time

you’ve been hoping and hoping
that this would stop
you might as well be hoping
the sun stayed up

loose your baby,
do you wannaloose your baby
when you really love her

if you choose to choose your baby
you choose to loose your mind
‘cause you know that little girl
is gonna stay just like she is
‘til the end of time

it's been going on and on
it's been going on and on
it's been going on and on
and it drives me crazy

IT'S ALMOST LOVE

it’s almost love

an almost love so true

I almost fell

I almost fell for you

 

your almost blue eyes make me dizzy

and nearly all the things you say

reminds me of a girl

I always have been longing for

in my sweet imagination

 

It’s almost life

an almost life so true

I’m nearly here

I’m nearly here with you

 

I’m almost me

an almost me so fine

just a tiny change

and I’ll be me divine

 

I almost look the way I want to

and nearly all the things I say

reminds me of a man

I always have been longing to be

in my sweet imagination

it’s almost love

an almost love so true

I almost fell

I almost fell for you

AN ANGEL OR A CLOWN

she’s not very pretty she’s not very bright
but she makes you feel good
makes you feel you’re allright

she doesn’t get many kisses
man that’s for sure
yeah it’s truly amazing
that her soul is so pure

if you want to bring her down
you can do it
just a hard word
and she's done

I saw her in a store
I was feeling real low
she melted the clock away 
I just didn’t want to go

she didn’t say anything special
she didn’t do anything special
bet she didn’t think anything special
but i was feeling at ease

if you want to make fun of her
you can do it
just a wise-crackin’ joke
and she’s done

’cause she lives upon the mercy from above

if you say you’ve got a problem
that really gets to you
she’ll say she understands
though she hasn’t got a clue

she says she understands
’cause she doesn’t want to let you down
it just means that she cares
is she an angel or a clown

if you want to leave her you just do it
you just say go and she’s gone

’cause she lives upon the mercy from above

she’s not very pretty, she’s not very bright
but she’s a real sweet person
yeah she’s allright

and she lives upon the mercy from above

LIKE THE FIRE LOVES THE WOOD

you’ve been telling me so many times
you need to be secure
you need to be sure of my love

you don’t want my love for you to change
but baby we grow and change all the time
so if our love doesn’t change along
our love’s gonna be left behind

         I’ll love you like
        the fire loves the wood
        I'll love you like
        a singer loves the silence


complaining ’bout things
ain’t what you want them to be
but that you’ve made it all yourself
this you can’t see
putting the blame on god and society
you’ve been barking up the wrong tree

    I can see by the way you’re walking
    looking for something else
    don’t think your life is good enough
    tryin’ to fix things from the outside

if you want a life guarantee
that things will never get out of hand
I hope that you will understand
that total control
will fuck up your soul


I’ll love you like        
the fire loves the wood
        
I'll love you like
        
a singer loves the silence

GONNA MISS YOU
WHEN YOU'RE GONE

man I’m gonna miss you when you’re gone


raw as timber

exquisite as a pearl

meditating solitude

living in a whirl

looking like a hobo

but you’re style is outta sight

a peacelovin’ man

who loves a good fight

 

open as a window

closed as a clam

you’ve been like that

since time began

you’re a perfect contradiction

but you know where you belong

man I’m gonna miss you when you’re gone

 

who are you

I can’t say i know

most people like you

you make everybody grow

you despise pretentions

‘bout that you’re more than clear

as soon as you can smell it you go:

“let’s get the fuck out of here”

man I’m gonna miss you

when you’re gone

a sucker for jazz

sometimes a pain in the ass

true to your core,

always hungry for more

you’re a perfect contradiction

but you know where you belong

man I’m gonna miss you when you’re gone

when you meet your maker

I’m pretty sure he’ll smile

he’ll appreciate your visit

and keep you for a while

 

man I’m gonna miss you

I’m gonna miss you when you’re gone

CRAZY WOMAN

I’ve been fine I’ve been down I’ve been cool

I've been feeling like a genius and a fool

I’ve been hot I’ve been cold I’ve been blue

but always thought that one and one was two

 

I’ve been reading books
I’ve traveled ‘round the world

but never met a creature like this girl.

her point of view keep changing all the time

impossible to find a single rhyme

 

"I’ve been thinking red,

but i was feeling blue

so purple is the colour it should be

green’s too mellow and grey is too grey”

can’t you hear what I’m saying

ah she’s a woman.

 

I’ve been trying for a year now to find

that little golden key to her mind

but I should’ve known 
I should’ve known better

she changed

the lock on her heart and her door

she’s a crazy woman

 

she said she loved me exactly as I was

then she left me and said it was because

she wanted me to be another man

and I was much too dumb to understand

 

I never ever knew why she did what she did

I’m blank as a piece of paper

I haven’t got a tiny single clue about why

please somebody get a translator

ah she’s a woman.

 

I’ve been trying for a year now to find

that little golden key to her mind

but I should’ve known 
I should’ve known better

she changed

the lock on her heart and her door

she’s a crazy woman

 

you’re an angel you’re a devil
you intoxicate my soul

you’re an angel you’re a devil
you intoxicate my soul

you confuse me, baby you confuse me
crazy woman you’re a crazy woman

WE'LL MEET AGAIN
(Parker/Charles)

we'll meet again
don't know where
don't know when
but I know we'll meet again
some sunny day

keep smilin' through
just like you always do
´til the blue skies drive
the dark clouds far away

so will you please say hello
to the folks that I know
tell them I won't be long
they'll be happy to know
that as you saw me go
I was singing this song

we'll meet again
don't know where
don't know when
but I know we'll meet again
some sunny day - bebezinho
I know we'll meet again
some sunny day - minha querida
I know we'll meet again
