No Flagman Ahead
05:18

we're depending – strange – coz we call it understanding
we pray and pay that the pavement's never ending
things just happen without a warning
no signs dawning, and no flagman ahead
no flagman ahead sign
no flagman ahead
lots of forecasts, reviews and rumours in the late news
trends, comments and neverending previews
there's no doubt, no error
we all know things get narrow, what's the future – is it bow or arrow?
no flagman ahead sign
no flagman ahead
lots of forecasts, reviews and rumours in the late news
trends, comments and neverending previews
there's no doubt, no error
we all know things get narrow, what's the future – is it bow or arrow?
no flagman ahead sign
no flagman ahead
I'm turning round and round, going back and forth
while I'm always looking for a new direction
I'm moving up and down, saying yes and no
there's no way to sell us permanent protection

Swingbridge

I'd like to ask you, jazz, was it meant to be a rescue?
it used to be just a suit that never dressed you
too old, too dead, now we've got the chance
to create a new cut, that invites you to dance to
the rich and the poor man, the hangman and the foreman
ding-a-ling, sing along, what's coming up to your door, man
listening to the two tabs, trying a few steps
forget the times of hanging around, you've got a pair of new legs
do you wanna call your friends now, or dance now
or do you wanna hold my hands now?
or are there any other things that you always liked to do, like
jammin' on a swingbridge
I'd like to ask you, jazz, was it meant to be a rescue?
it used to be just a suit that never dressed you
too old, too dead, now we've got the chance
to create a new cut, that invites you to dance to
or is it because of you now, I'm true now
that all the notes turn blue now
and we should do these or other things, that we always liked to do, like
jammin' on a swingbridge

(There's) Not A Lot
05:20
|

there’s not a lot, not a lot, just the passing ground
forgot here’s something above and the things around
I’m walking and reminiscing
I’ve got all that it takes, but still there’s something missing
there’s not a lot, not a lot, that we’ve got to do
we just play a few notes that are good for you
we put a high note here and a low note there
si on voit la plage, on veut la mer
there’s not a lot, not a lot, that it takes to try
if you step into a puddle, you won’t see the sky
If you want too much, c’est de trop pour moi
and if you even try, jamais assez pour toi
it’s not a lot, not a lot, that it takes I tell you
to get a higher survival value
we put a high note here and a low note there
si on voit la plage, on veut la mer
there’s not a lot, not a lot, just the passing ground
forgot here’s something above and the things around
I’m walking and reminiscing
I’ve got all that it takes, but still there’s something missing
it’s not a lot, not a lot, that it takes I tell you
to get a higher survival value
we put a high note here and a low note there
si on voit la plage, will man ans meer

watchagonnado if the sky turns blue when you leave the ways that you always walked on
so what you gonna do if all your dreams come true though you never knew what the hell to do
watchagonnado if the sky turns blue …
watcha gonna say if the world turned grey and the things don’t work that you always worked on
so what to do if dreams won’t come true though you always knew what the hell to do
watcha gonna say if the world turned grey and the things don’t work that you always worked on
so what to do if dreams won’t come true though you always thought what the hell to do

Vraiment Paris
04:49
|
|||
we used to talk about walls and economical systems
about humanimal rights and about love on long distance
s’il n’est pas l’amour, s’il n’est pas la peine
some are talking too loud mais ici n’est pas la scène
too many things been told but never been done
the word’s still on but the meaning is gone
il ne faut pas séparer il ne faut pas passer paris
you better try to make decisioins let me try to count the tree
qu’est-ce qui se passe, was geht ab, what’s happening to me these days
I’m getting lost with a smile on a stupid face
berlin sans mur, london’s out of tea – mais j’adore vraiment paris
qu’est-ce que tu veux, qu’est-ce qu’on fait, now that your dreams come true
you may ask your shrinks, mais ils sont aussi fous
maintenant la fête commence même s’il est seulement mardi
we gonna think of having a political party
qu’est-ce qui se passe, was geht ab, what’s happening to me these days
there’s no fear to get lost when I see your face
berlin sans mur, london’s out of tea, hello singapore – mais j’adore vraiment paris
we were walking through walls and economical systems
through personal fights, no respect without distance
s’il n’est pas l’amour, il n’est pas la peine
du singst so laut, mais ici n’est pas la scène

Permanent Protection
05:28
|
|||
we’re turning round and round
we’re moving back and forth and we’re always looking for a new direction
we’re asking why and how
we’re saying yes and no, there’s no way to sell us permanent protection
we’re turning round and round
we’re moving up and down and we’re always looking for a new direction
we’re asking why and how
we’re feeling down and out there’s no way to sell us permanent protection
