Coumba Gawlo: "Pata Pata" (1998)

"Pata Pata" is a song by South African singer Miriam Makeba. The song was written by fellow southern African artist Dorothy Masuka and first released by Makeba in 1957 when she still lived in South Africa. The song was released in the United States in 1967 for her studio album of the same name. It was successful on the Billboard Hot 100, and peaked at #12.

The song is considered by many to be Makeba's signature hit and the song has since been covered by many artists. Originally written and sung in the Xhosa language, the song's title means "touch touch" in English.

The original version of Pata Pata is included in The Best of the Early Years (Miriam Makeba), a collection of 24 tracks released in 2002 by Wrasse, and the 40 track compilation Her Essential Recordings: The Empress of African Song (2006 Manteca). Makeba released a renovated version of the song, entitled "Pata Pata 2000", in her 2000 album Homeland.

In 2002, R&B guitarist Jonathan Butler recorded a rendition of this song from his album Surrender.

Mexican Superstar Thalía sang it for her 2000 Album Arrasando.

French-American singer and actress Arielle Dombasle covered the song featuring rapper Mokobé on her 2011 album Diva Latina.

- Lyrics:

Yo listen up: here's a story
About a little guy
That lives in a blue world
And all day and all night and everything he sees is
Just blue like him inside and outside
Blue his house with a blue little window
And a blue Corvette and everything is blue for him
And himself and everybody around
'Cause he aint got nobody to listen: ...

I'm blue (da ba dee...)
I'm blue (da ba dee...)

I have a blue house with a blue window
Blue is the color of all that I wear
Blue are the streets and all the trees are too
I have a girlfriend and she is so blue
Blue are the people here that walk around
Blue like my Corvette it's standing outside
Blue are the words I say and what I think
Blue are the feeling that live inside me

I'm blue (da ba dee...)
I'm blue (da ba dee...)

I have a blue house with a blue window
Blue is the color of all that I wear
Blue are the streets and all the trees are too
I have a girlfriend and she is so blue
Blue are the people here that walk around
Blue like my Corvette it's standing outside
Blue are the words I say and what I think
Blue are the feeling that live inside me

I'm blue (da ba dee...)
I'm blue (da ba dee...)

- Lyrics:

Con questa gioia che mi stringe il cuore
A quattro cinque giorni da Natale
Un misto tra incanto e dolore
Ripenso a quando ho fatto io del male
E di persone ce ne sono tante
Buoni pretesti sempre troppo pochi
Tra desideri, labirinti e fuochi
Comincio un nuovo anno io chiedendoti

Refrain

Dire che sto bene con te è poco
Dire che sto male con te è un gioco !
Un misto tra tregua e rivoluzione
Credo sia una buona occasione
Con questa magia di Natale
Per ricordarti quanto sei speciale
Tra le contraddizioni e i tuoi difetti
Io cerco ancora di volerti

Refrain

Qui l'inverno non ha paura... io senza di te un po' ne ho
Qui la rabbia è senza misura... io senza di te, non lo so
E la notte balla da sola... senza di te non ballerò
Capitano abbatti le mura... che da solo non ce la farò

Refrain

- Lyrics:

If you don't take me to Paris on a lover's getaway
It's all right, it's all right
If I'd rather wear your t-shirt than a sexy negligee
It's all right, it's all right
Every dinner doesn't have to be candlelit
It's kinda nice to know that it doesn't have to be

Chorus:
Perfect
Baby every little piece of the puzzle
doesn't always fit perfectly
Love can be rough around the edges
Tattered at the seams
Honey, if it's good enough for you
It's good enough for me

If your mother doesn't like the way I treat her baby boy
It's all right, it's all right
If in every wedding picture my daddy looks annoyed
It's all right, it's all right
Don't you know that all the fairy tales tell a lie
Real love and real life doesn't have to be

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:
Oh, you don't mind if I show up late for everything
When you lose your cool it's kinda cute to me
Hey, ain't it nice to know that we don't have to be

Repeat Chorus

Oh, It's good enough for me
Yeah, you're good enough for me
Oh, you're good enough for me

Men At Work: "Be Good Johnny" (1982)

"Be Good Johnny" is a 1982 song by Australian band, Men at Work, from their first album, Business as Usual.

The song is written from the viewpoint of a 9-year-old boy who is constantly being told to be good, but prefers to daydream rather than concentrate in class or play sports. Johnny feels like he understands some of his instructions, but also that he is completely misunderstood by the adult world.[1] The lead singer, Colin Hay, uses his voice in different ways throughout the song to imitate Johnny, Johnny's mother and father, and his teacher. The song also features spoken dialog by keyboardist Greg Ham as he tries to figure out what Johnny is like. The title of the song is a reference to Johnny B. Goode.

Although the song was played moderately on US radio stations, it did not chart on the Billboard Hot 100 as it was not released in the states as a physical single, a criterion that was still used by the Hot 100 at the time. The song did chart and peaked at #3 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart in the US.

Colin Hay covered a solo version on his album Man @ Work, and this version is used as the theme song of the British and American versions of the reality TV program Supernanny.


- Lyrics:

Skip de skip, up the road
Off to school we go
"Don't you be a bad boy Johnny
Don't you slip up
Or play the fool"
"Oh no Ma, Oh no Da,
I'll be your golden boy
I will obey ev'ry golden rule"
Get told by the teacher
Not to day-dream
Told by my mother:

Be good Be good
Be good be good be good
Be good be good be good be good (Johnny)
Be good be good
Be good be good be good
Be good be good be good
Be good be good be good
Be good (Johnny)
Be good be good.

"Are you going to play football this year, John?"
"No!"
"Oh, well you must be going to play cricket this year then,
are you Johnny?"
"No! no! no!"
"Boy, you sure are a funny kid, Johnny, but I like you! So tell me,
what kind of a boy are you, John?"

I only like dreaming
All the day long
Where no one is screaming

Be good be good
Be good be good be good
Be good be good be good be good (Johnny)
Be good be good
Be good be good be good
Be good be good be good
Be good be good be good
Be good be good be good
Be good be good be good
Be good be good be good
Be good be good be good
be good be good be good
be good be good be good
be good be good be good
Johnny!

Hold the phone.
The lonely stoner mr. solo doe low.
He’s on the move, can’t seem to shake the shade.
Within his dreams he sees the life he made.
Made.
The pain is deep.
A silent sleeper, you won’t hear a peep, peep.
The girl he wants don’t seem to want him too.
It seems the feelings that she had are through.

"Young Love" is a popular song, written by Ric Cartey and Carole Joyner and published in 1956.

The original version was recorded by Ric Cartey With The Jiva-Tones on November 24, 1956.

- Lyrics:

They say for every boy and girl
There just one love in this whole world
And I know
I found mine

The heavenly touch of your embrace
Tells me no one could take your place
Ever in my heart

Young love (you're my love)
First love (you're my love)
Filled with true devotion
Young love (you're my love)
Our love (you're my love)
We share with deep emotion

Just one kiss from your sweet lips
Will tell me that you love is real
And I can feel
That it's true

We will vow to one another
There will never be another
Love for you
Or for me

Young love (you're my love)
First love (you're my love)
Filled with true devotion

Young love (you're my love)
First love (you're my love)
We share with deep emotion

Rocky Burnette: "Tired Of Toein' The Line" (1980)

Rocky Burnette was part of the early 1980s revival of the rockabilly style. He released his first album, Son of Rock 'n' Roll, on EMI America in 1979. In the summer of 1980, his single "Tired of Toein' the Line" became a Top Ten hit in the United States. The song was also popular internationally. EMI America's financial problems interfered with promotion efforts for the follow-up singles (several of which became hits in other countries), and Burnette's second album, Heart Stopper, was not successful.

In 1981, Burnette toured Europe with the final version of his late father's The Rock and Roll Trio. He also used the band on his next album, Get Hot or Go Home! on Enigma Records. It also sold poorly, and Enigma dropped Burnette and the Trio rather than release a follow-up.

Burnette worked with Rosie Flores and Dwight Twilley in the mid-1990s, and also contributed vocals and the original "Trouble Is I'm in Love With You" to Paul Burlison's 1997 Train Kept A-Rollin' . In 1996, Burnette released Tear It Up on Core Records, which went bankrupt almost immediately after its release.

Burnette continued to tour internationally, and wrote the European hit "You Got Away With Love" for Percy Sledge in 1997.

- Lyrics:

Baby I'm
Tired of toein' the line
Don't know why you wanna jump on me
Baby, baby, baby
It's makin' me cry

Baby I
I'm gonna find myself someone new
Someone who will be true
I'm no more toein' the line

I know it's over, but
I see the signs
Don't let me waste your precious time

Baby I'm
Tired of toein' the line
If you want to get rid of me
Baby, baby, baby
You're doin' fine

Baby I'm
Tired of toein' the line
I'm gonna put on my walkin' shoes
And leave you far behind

You're rollin' over
And over so divine
But you can't fix this
Broken heart of mine

Baby I'm
Tired of toein' the line
Don't know why you wanna jump on me
Baby, baby, baby
It's makin' me cry

Baby I'm
Tired of toein' the line
Don't know why you wanna jump on me
Baby, baby, baby
It's makin' me cry

Baby I'm
Tired of toein' the line
Baby I'm
Tired of toein' the line
Baby I'm
Tired of toein' the line
Baby I'm
Tired of toein' the line
Baby I'm
Tired of toein' the line
Baby I'm
Tired of toein' the line
Baby I'm
Tired of toein' the line

Miller Lite used Joe Cocker's "Unchain My Heart" for their Dalmatian campaign as the dog jumps from the Budweiser Clydesdale horse-drawn carriage to the Miller Lite truck.


- Lyrics:

Unchain my heart baby let me be
Cause you don't care please set me free

Unchain my heart
Baby let me go
Unchain my heart
Cause you don't love me no more
Every time I call you on the phone
Some fella tells me your not at home
Unchain my heart set me free

Unchain my heart
Baby let me be
Unchain my heart
Cause you don't care about me
You got me sewed up like a pillow case
But you let my love go to waist
Unchain my heart set me free

I'm under your spell
Like a man in a trance
You know darn well that I don't stand a chance
Unchain my heart let me go my way
Unchain my heart you worry me night and day
I live a life of misery
And you don't care a bag of beans for me
Unchain my heart set me free

Solo

I'm under your spell
Like a man in a trance
You know darn well that I don't stand a chance
Unchain my heart let me go my way
Unchain my heart you worry me night and day
I live a life of misery
And you don't care a bag of beans for me
Unchain my heart set me free

- Lyrics:

I'm Gonna Make A Change
For Once In My Life
It's Gonna Feel Real Good
Gonna Make A Difference
Gonna Make It Right...

As I, Turn Up The Collar On
My Favorite Winter Coat
This Wind Is Blowin' My Mind
I See The Kids In The Street
With Not Enough To Eat
Who Am I, To Be Blind?
Pretending Not To See Their Needs
A Summer's Disregard
A Broken Bottle Top
And A One Man's Soul
They Follow Each Other On
The Wind Ya' Know
'Cause They Got Nowhere To Go

- Lyrics:

You're beautiful, that's for sure
You'll never ever fade
You're lovely but it's not for sure
That I won't ever change
And though my love is rare
Though my love is true

Chorus:
I'm like a bird, I only fly away
I don't know where my soul is, I don't know where my home is
(and baby all I need for you to know is)
I'm like a bird, I only fly away
I don't know where my soul is , I don't know where my home is
All I need for you to know is

Your faith in me brings me to tears
Even after all these years
And it pains me so much to tell
That you don't know me that well
And though my love is rare
Though my love is true

Chorus

It's not that I wanna say goodbye
It's just that every time you try to tell me that you love me
Each and every single day I know
I'm going to have to eventually give you away
And though my love is rare
And though my love is true
Hey I'm just scared
That we may fall through

Chorus x 3

Lionel Richie: "Hello" (1984)

"Hello" is a song by Lionel Richie. Taken as the third single from Richie's multi-platinum album Can't Slow Down, the song was released in 1984 and reached number one on three Billboard music charts: the pop chart (for two weeks), the R&B chart (for three weeks), and the adult contemporary chart (for six weeks).

The song also went to #1 on the UK Singles Chart. It is considered by many as Richie's signature song. The tune of the second verse of the song, beginning with the words: "I can see it in your eyes", is very similar to the second verse of another song, with minor note changes, that was written much earlier by a Ukrainian musician Volodymyr Ivasyuk in 1968 and is called "Chervona Ruta".

The song is particularly memorable for the line "Hello, is it me you're looking for?". In an interview broadcast in the UK on Channel 4's Top 100 Number One Hits, Richie said he had been thanked by a large number of normally tongue-tied men who had proposed marriage after a slow dance to the song.


- Lyrics:

I've been alone with you inside my mind
And in my dreams I've kissed your lips a thousand times
I sometimes see you pass outside my door
Hello, is it me you're looking for?

I can see it in your eyes
I can see it in your smile
You're all I've ever wanted, (and) my arms are open wide
'Cause you know just what to say
And you know just what to do
And I want to tell you so much, I love you ...

I long to see the sunlight in your hair
And tell you time and time again how much I care
Sometimes I feel my heart will overflow
Hello, I've just got to let you know

'Cause I wonder where you are
And I wonder what you do
Are you somewhere feeling lonely, or is someone loving you?
Tell me how to win your heart
For I haven't got a clue
But let me start by saying, I love you ...

Hello, is it me you're looking for?
'Cause I wonder where you are
And I wonder what you do
Are you somewhere feeling lonely or is someone loving you?
Tell me how to win your heart
For I haven't got a clue
But let me start by saying ... I love you

Peter Gabriel: "Biko" (1986)

"Biko" is a protest song by British rock musician Peter Gabriel. The song was included on Gabriel's third album, Peter Gabriel (1980). It is about Steve Biko, a noted black South African anti-apartheid activist. Biko had been arrested by the South African police in late August 1977. After being held in custody for several days, he was interrogated in room 619 of the Walmer Street prison in Port Elizabeth, Eastern Cape. Following the interrogation, during which he sustained serious head injuries, Biko was transferred to a prison in Pretoria, where he died shortly afterwards, on 12 September 1977. Gabriel often plays the song at the end of concerts, encouraging the audience to join in the singing, and eventually leaving only the drummer on stage. The album version of the song is bookended by a recording of the South African song “Senzeni Na?” as sung at Biko’s funeral.

"Biko" was first released as a single in 1980, when it reached #38 on the British charts. A live version, recorded in July 1987 at the Blossom Music Center in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, was released later that year, reaching #49 in the UK. This version was included on the soundtrack of Cry Freedom, a 1987 film about Steve Biko. "Biko" was also featured prominently in "Evan", the next-to-last episode of the first season of the American television show Miami Vice.

One line of the lyrics reads "Yehla Moya" which in Xhosa means "Come Spirit".


- Lyrics:


September '77
Port Elizabeth weather fine
It was business as usual
In police room 619
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Yihla Moja, Yihla Moja
-The man is dead

When I try and sleep at night
I can only dream in red
The outside world is black and white
With only one colour dead
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Yihla Moja, Yihla Moja
-The man is dead

You can blow out a candle
But you can't blow out a fire
Once the flames begin to catch
The wind will blow it higher
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Yihla Moja, Yihla Moja
-The man is dead

And the eyes of the world are
watching now
watching now

Roxy Music: "Jealous Guy" (1981)

"Jealous Guy" is a song written and performed by John Lennon which first appeared on his 1971 album Imagine. It is one of the most commonly covered Lennon songs, with at least ninety-two recorded cover versions, the most notable being Roxy Music's version, which reached number one in several countries three months after John Lennon's death.

According to wikipedia, following Lennon's death in 1980, Roxy Music added a cover version of the song to their set while touring in Australia, which they recorded and released in March 1981. This attracted some criticism at the time as it was suggested that they were cashing in on the success of Lennon's work following his death. The single was released by Polydor with "To Turn you on" as the B-side, with catalogue number "ROXY 2". The song was the only UK #1 hit for Roxy Music, topping the charts for two weeks in March 1981. Its B-side, called "To Turn You On", appeared on the 1982 album "Avalon", although it was slightly remixed. "Jealous Guy" featured on the compilation "Bryan Ferry & Roxy Music: The Platinum Collection".


- Lyrics:

I was dreaming of the past, and my heart was beating fast.
I bagan to lose control, I began to lose control.
I didn't mean to hurt you. I'm sorry that I made you cry.
Oh no, I didn't mean to hurt you. I'm yust a jealous guy.
I was feeling insecure you might not love me anymore.
I was shivering inside, I was shivering inside.
I didn't mean ...
I was trying to catch your eyes, though that you was trying to hide.
I was swallowing my pain, I was swallowing my pain.
I didn't mean ...

U2: "Mysterious Ways SONG" (1991)

"Mysterious Ways" is a song by Irish rock band U2 and the eighth track from their 1991 album Achtung Baby. It was released as the album's second single on 25 November 1991. The song began as a improvisation, with the band only liking the bass part that bassist Adam Clayton composed. The band struggled to build a song from it, with vocalist Bono and producer Daniel Lanois arguing intensely during one songwriting session. Progress was made after guitarist The Edge introduced a new effects pedal to his guitar playing in the song. "Mysterious Ways" features a danceable beat, funky guitar hook, and conga-laden percussion, as well as mystical lyrics about romance and women.

According to wikipedia, the song received praise from critics after the release of Achtung Baby, which many calling it one of the album's standout tracks. The song was also successful as a single on the music charts, including several Billboard charts. It reached number one on the Modern Rock Tracks and Album Rock Tracks charts, and in the US, it peaked at number nine on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, the fourth-best mark for a U2 single on the chart.


- Lyrics:

Johnny take a walk
With your sister in the moon
Let her pale light in
To fill up your room
You've been living underground
Eating from a can
You've been running away
From what you don't understand...
Look

She's slipping
You’re sliding down
She'll be there
When you
hit the ground

It's all right, it's all right, all right
She moves in mysterious ways
It's all right, it's all right, all right
She moves in mysterious ways
O-o-oh

Johnny take a dive
With your sister in the rain
Let her talk about the things
You can't explain
To touch is to heal
To hurt is to steal
If you want to kiss the sky
Better learn how to kneel
On your knees boy

She's the way - She turns the tide
She sees a man, inside the child
Yeah

It's all right, it's all right, all right
She moves in mysterious ways
It's all right, it's all right, all right
She moves in mysterious ways
Love
It's all right, it's all right, all right
lift my days, light up my nights
Love

One day you will look... back
And you'll see... where
You were held... how
By this love... while
You could stand there
You could move on this moment
Follow this feeling

It's all right, it's all right, all right
She moves in mysterious ways
It's all right, it's all right, all right
She moves in mysterious ways
O-o-oh

Oh love
Oh love, lover
Move you
Spirit move
Baby love me
Move
Baby love me
Move you
Baby love me
Move with it
She moves with it

if my days, light up my nights

Rolling Stones: "You Can't Always Get What You Want" (Live - 2006 - Saitama; Japan)

"You Can't Always Get What You Want" is a song by The Rolling Stones released on their 1969 album Let It Bleed.

Written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, it was named as the 100th greatest song of all time by Rolling Stone (magazine) in its 2004 list of "500 Greatest Songs of All Time."

"You Can't Always Get What You Want" was recorded on 16 and 17 November 1968 at London's Olympic Sound Studios. It features the London Bach Choir opening the song, highlighting throughout, and bringing it to its conclusion. Jimmy Miller, the Rolling Stones' producer at the time, plays drums on this song instead of Charlie Watts. Al Kooper plays piano and organ and also played the French horn intro, while Rocky Dijon plays congas and maracas. Nanette Workman sings backup vocals, but she is credited as "Nanette Newman".[citation needed]

Although Jagger and Jimi Hendrix were good friends at the time of the song's release[citation needed], the line "I sang my song to Mr. Jimmy" is a reference to Jimmy Miller. The story about Jagger meeting a drifter named Jimmy Hutmaker is apocryphal[citation needed]. The rest of the line says "and he said one word to me and that was dead"; at that time the Stones and Miller used "dead" to refer to something they really liked[citation needed], so when Jagger sang the original song idea to Miller, his response was "dead!". The song's meeting place for Jagger and Mr. Jimmy is the Chelsea Drugstore, which opened in London in 1968.

Of the song, Jagger said in 2003[citation needed], "'You Can't Always Get What You Want' was something I just played on the acoustic guitar - one of those bedroom songs. It proved to be quite difficult to record because Charlie couldn't play the groove and so Jimmy Miller had to play the drums. I'd also had this idea of having a choir, probably a gospel choir, on the track, but there wasn't one around at that point. Jack Nitzsche, or somebody, said that we could get the London Bach Choir and we said, 'That will be a laugh.'"

In his review of the song, Richie Unterberger says, "If you buy John Lennon's observation that the Rolling Stones were apt to copy the Beatles' innovations within a few months or so, "You Can't Always Get What You Want" is the Rolling Stones' counterpart to 'Hey Jude.'" Jagger said in 1969, "I liked the way the Beatles did that with 'Hey Jude'. The orchestra was not just to cover everything up - it was something extra. We may do something like that on the next album."


- Lyrics:

[chorus]
I saw her today at a reception
A glass of wine in her hand
I knew she would meet her connection
At her feet was her footloose man

No, you can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
And if you try sometime you find
You get what you need

I saw her today at the reception
A glass of wine in her hand
I knew she was gonna meet her connection
At her feet was her footloose man

You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you might find
You get what you need

Oh yeah, hey hey hey, oh...

And I went down to the demonstration
To get my fair share of abuse
Singing, "We're gonna vent our frustration
If we don't we're gonna blow a 50-amp fuse"
Sing it to me now...

You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes well you just might find
You get what you need
Oh baby, yeah, yeah!

I went down to the Chelsea drugstore
To get your prescription filled
I was standing in line with Mr. Jimmy
And man, did he look pretty ill
We decided that we would have a soda
My favorite flavor, cherry red
I sung my song to Mr. Jimmy
Yeah, and he said one word to me, and that was "dead"
I said to him

You can't always get what you want, no!
You can't always get what you want (tell ya baby)
You can't always get what you want (no)
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You get what you need
Oh yes! Woo!

You get what you need--yeah, oh baby!
Oh yeah!

I saw her today at the reception
In her glass was a bleeding man
She was practiced at the art of deception
Well I could tell by her blood-stained hands

You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You just might find
You get what you need

You can't always get what you want (no, no baby)
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You just might find
You get what you need, ah yes...

New Order: 'Blue Monday' (Live - 1984)

New Order were an English musical group formed in 1980 by Bernard Sumner (vocals, guitars, synthesizers), Peter Hook (bass, backing vocals, electronic drums) and Stephen Morris (drums, electronic drums, synthesizers). New Order were formed after of the demise of their previous group Joy Division, following the suicide of vocalist Ian Curtis. They were soon joined by keyboardist Gillian Gilbert.

New Order combined post-punk and electronic dance, and became one of the most critically acclaimed and highly influential bands of the 1980s. Though New Order's early years were shadowed by the legacy of Joy Division, their immersion, with help from Morris D. Temple, in the New York City club scene of the early 1980s increased their knowledge of dance music. The band's 1983 hit "Blue Monday" saw them fully embrace dance music, synthesizers and drum machines, and is the best-selling 12-inch single of all time. New Order were the flagship band for Factory Records, and their minimalist album sleeves and non-image reflected the label's aesthetic of doing whatever the relevant parties wanted to do, including an aversion to including singles as album tracks. The band has often been acclaimed by fans, critics and other musicians as a highly influential force in the alternative rock, dance and rave music scenes.

New Order were on hiatus between 1993 and 1998, during which time the members participated in various side-projects. The band reconvened in 1998, and in 2001 released Get Ready, their first album in eight years. In 2005, Phil Cunningham (guitars, synthesizers) replaced Gilbert, who had left the group due to family commitments.

In 2007, Peter Hook left the band and stated that he and Sumner had no further plans to work together. Sumner revealed in 2009 that he no longer wishes to make music as New Order. Sumner and Cunningham now work together under a new band name, Bad Lieutenant.


- Lyrics:

How does it feel to treat me like you do?
When you've your hands upon me
And told me who you are
I thought I was mistaken
I thought I heard your words
Tell me, how do I feel
Tell me now, How do I feel

Those who came before me
Lived through their vocations
From the past until completion
They'll turn away no more
And I still find it so hard
To say what I need to say
But I'm quite sure that you'll tell me
Just how I should feel today

I see a ship in the harbor
I can and shall obey
But if it wasn't for your misfortune
I'd be a heavenly person today
And I thought I was mistaken
And I thought I heard you speak
Tell me how do I feel
Tell me now, how should I feel

Now I stand here waiting...
I thought I told you to leave me
While I walked down to the beach
Tell me how does it feel
When your heart grows cold
