Tell Me, Tell Me
Hey, listen closely, don't hang up
There's something you should know
About particular circumstances
'bout yesterday night show
Miranda called me, she was sad
For you'd kicked up a row
You were in a very jealous mood
Announced once more to go
Refrain:
Tell me, tell me, don't you see
You need love
Like the air that you breathe
Tell me, tell me, don't you see
You're a fool
In love can't you see what i'm sayin'
Again and again and again
We had a date at half past nine
At club called "golden pearl"
The she got high from drinkin' wine
While i tried to comfort her
And just before you reached the bar
She embraced me feeling blue
You crushed a chair and did your stuff
While you cried: "i'm through with you!"
Refrain:
Tell me, tell me, don't you see
You need love
Like the air that you breathe
Tell me, tell me, don't you see
You're a fool
In love can't you see what i'm sayin'
Again and again and again
Love or Just Temptation
Talkin' bout your vision
of the so-called one and only girl
you never had long-term relations
you lived within a passion's whirl
you never knew
Was it love or just temptation
that's what should dawn on you
love or just temptation
Now you're crazy 'bout a woman
you've got to know in these street cafes
and you speak of love at first sight
but the doubt is already written in your face
for your're not sure
Was it love or just temptation
that's what should dawn on you
love or just temptation
If you alway go by sheer appearance,
appearance,
you will not see you self-deceptions
deceptions
Love or just temptation
I hope it will dawn on you
love or just temptation
Say: love or just temptation
that's what should dawn on you
love or just temptation
The Shelter of Love
Sitting in a lonely station
near the borderline
wond'rin 'bout my destination
and the former times
for years I tried so hard to find
a reason to hold out
but found myself in dead end streets
so that I couldn't even shout
Did you ever realize a sign
of a life that could be mine
did you ever want to give me
the shelter of love
I never planned an act of desperation
I won't challenge your remorse
whereas an executed suicide
could upset a numb disguise
melancholic moods surround me
but without complacency
those easy-going days are gone
it hurts to feel I'm on my own
Did you ever realize a sign
of a life that could be mine
did you ever want to give me
the shelter of love
A Message By Satellite
Bomb attacks and genocide
are the daily news
stirred up people, offended pride
everyone will lose
In many countries of the world
rages civil war
it's doubtful whether they still know
what they are fighting for
I've got a message by satellite
a simple message through endless nights
whatever we fought for, whatever we prayed
let's change directions before it's too late, too late
So many people in this age
are in great distress
only hunger, war and hate
no chance for happiness
I won't lose myself in gloom
but something worries me
is this just an anteroom
to dead eternity?
I've got a message by satellite
a simple message through endless nights
whatever we fought for, whatever we prayed
let's change directions before it's too late, too late
Heard some news about a place
its name was put to shame
people vanish without trace
we never know their names
The world is full of refugees
they left their fatherland
across the deserts and the seas
to escape a dreadful end
I've got a message by satellite
a simple message through endless nights
wherever you're living, whoever you are
your plane is your planet, there's just one start
China
Once you told me you would love me
like no-one before
once I took you to my heart
we believed to be two of a kind
I loved you more and more
no longer we could live apart
You break my heart like china
I never demanded anything of you
you break my heart like china
was this too much of a strain for you?
But ever since these early days
you began to lose your happy face
gradually you turned away from me
as time passed by no longer you
didn't want to lie to me
you never reached the top with me
You break my heart like china
cant'see the reason
why you wanted to leave
you break my heart like china
look at your own demands
that you can't meet
you said to me: "It always
had been the same before
but now I can't bear it no more."
you say you've got so high demands
your love is way too strong
you believe you'd better go
You break my heart like china
don't tell me this is because of me
you break my heart like china
I ask you don't try that on me
you break my heart like china
don't tell me of the men you meet
you break my heart like china
but you won't bring me to my knees
