Salvation |
Lyrics: Stephan |
| I fall down when you pick me up, I fall down And I drown when you try to save me, I drown I’m so cold when you try to warm me, I’m cold I grow old when you make me young, I grow old Salvation – You won’t give me none Liberation – When is it gonna come I feel small when you build me up, I feel small And I stall when you start me up, I just stall I could cry when you make me laugh, I could cry And I die when you resurrect me, I die I break down when you make me run, I break down I spin around when you set me straight, I spin around I give in when you give me hope, I give in And I sin when you preach to me, I still sin |
Dark Passage |
Lyrics: Stephan |
| So long ago, so far away The lights went out but the shadows stay The music’s over but it lingers on Like the echo of some long forgotten song I try so hard to let it go But you don’t wanna know I try so hard to break away But still you make me pay The party’s over but nobody’s leaving I’m tired of sending and not receiving I’m tired of seeing you walk the floor I wish somebody would shut that door We’re on a one-way trip And we can’t turn around We’re on a sinking ship Won’t you let her go down This is a losing game And we can’t ever win Dark passage |
Gates of Eden |
Lyrics: Stephan |
| Out at sea for far too long The sail is torn and the bearings gone The beams are broken, but the coast is clear The compass is spinning, but the harbour’s near The harbour lights, they shine so bright Like the gates of Eden They shine In the desert, miles of sand The river dried up, barren land The wheels are spinning, going nowhere There’s a city in the shimmering air The resthouse lights, they shine so bright Like the gates of Eden They shine |
No Man’s Land |
Lyrics: Stephan |
| Ever since the world began Woman arguing with man Trying to keep the upper hand To keep the upper hand He tries so hard to understand Her reasoning but still he can’t Penetrate this no man’s land Into this no man’s land Into this no man’s land, boys Into this no man’s land When he says yes, she says no When he says stop, she says go And what I’d really like to know Why does he still love her so There always has been a contradiction A serious intersexual friction Between the different human genders And neither of them will surrender |
Beat the Devil |
Lyrics: Stephan |
| Bring me your worries And lay them down right here Bring me your troubles We’re gonna make them disappear We’re gonna beat the devil We’re gonna run him out of down Beat the devil We’re gonna run him down Beat the devil We’ll sell him by the pound Beat the devil We’re gonna run him down There once was a time When everything was fine There once was a time When I could call you mine |
Hey Hey Hey |
Lyrics: Stephan |
| The first time I ever saw your face My heart was beating all over the place I couldn’t keep my eyes off you There wasn’t anything I could do I said hey, hey, hey I would have loved you anyway Hey, hey, hey Yes I would The way the light shone on your hair The way you wore the clothes you wear You didn’t have to be so nice You know my heart wasn’t made of ice |
San Pedro |
Lyrics: Stephan |
| I’m gonna tell you ’bout my girl, she’s been so good to me She’s been keepin’ me out of trouble and misery She’s been working so hard, working night and day Now I’m a gonna take her on a holiday I’m gonna take my girl down to San Pedro I’m gonna take my girl down to San Pedro Exactly when we’re going now I don’t know I’m gonna take my girl down to San Pedro They got long sandy beaches and the coconut tree Jacaranda flowers swaying in the breeze We can go diving out by the reef They got colours underwater, they’re beyond belief We’re gonna fly, fly, fly away Now we’ll be dancing barefoot on the bar room floor Big old Maya Indian standing on the door And later in the evening, when the lights go out I’m a gonna show her what it’s all about |
Johnny B. Goode |
Lyrics: Berry |
| Down in Louisiana, ’cross to New Orleans Way down in the woods amid the evergreens In a little cabin made of earth and wood There lived a country boy his name was Johnny B. Goode He never ever learned to read or write so well But he could play guitar just like ringing a bell |
Jolie Rouge |
Lyrics: Stephan |
| My name is John Bartholomew I sailed with Edward England’s crew My eye was swift and my aim was true Until the day that I met you I would have made you change your name We could have made them play our game We could have been the king and queen Napoleon and Josephine Jolie Rouge, don’t break my heart, Jolie Rouge I’m going to New Providence I’m going to forge my documents I’m going to paint my starboard red And rearrange the alphabet Go down you blood-red roses now You’re just a bunch of posies now Where is the love and trust we had Why do you make me feel so bad Jolie Rouge, you broke my heart, Jolie Rouge Don’t let me down Is there a wind to fill your sail When the bloodhounds are on your trail Are you on an even keel Can you imagine how I feel I’m sick and tired of their rules And regulations made for fools Jolie Rouge, my only friend Jolie Rouge, this is the end Jolie Rouge, you broke my heart, Jolie Rouge |
