THE TWISTED LOGIC OF LOVE
From the album The Twisted Logic Of Love
It hurts me, consumes me
But we are powerless to cope
With the cruel logic of love
I love you; you love her
And you don’t leave me any hope
Twisted logic of love
And I need your loving,
Why do I need your love?
Can’t blame me, can’t blame you
Because there is nothing we can do
It’s the twisted logic of love
I love you; you love her
And she’s in love with someone else
Evil logic of love
And I need your loving,
Why do I need your love
I Breath in, breath out
I want to scream and shout
But that’s not the solution
Where is my resolution?
Breath in, breath out
I’m lost, so lost in doubt
Betrayed by an illusion
I’m drowning in confusion
Because I need your loving
Why do I need your love?
WHERE WILL I LAY MY HEAD
From the album The Twisted Logic Of Love
We have seen a million rising suns
Over golden fields
From this room yeah
I have heard the chorus of the dawn
Waking up the land
From my room yeah
But now, they took everything I loved
Took everything we owned
Took our home
And now gone are the fields of hay
They took everything away
Where will I lay my head?
I have heard the beating of the drums
Quickening my heart
From my room yeah
I have seen the cruel burning flames
Swallowing the night
From my room
And now, they took everything I loved
Took everything we owned
Took our home
And now gone are the fields of hay
They took everything away
Where will I lay my head? Where will I lay my head?
I have heard the screams and seen the pain
Tearing up my soul
From my room
I have said goodbye to my old friends
Looking one last time
From my room
And now, they took everything I loved
Took everything we owned
Took our home
And now gone are the fields of hay
They took everything away
Where will I lay my head? Where will I lay my head?
TI CHINJA (LET’S CHANGE)
From the album The Twisted Logic Of Love
If anybody cares for those who live beyond despair
Hear the story of my brothers unfold
They believed change was in sight
They believed it was their right
And they voted for “chinja”. How bold!
Because all of those who dared
Believing change was in the air
Were hunted, tortured and raped
Some were beaten to the bone
Some were burnt inside their homes
And for many there was no escape
But the time has come for changes
And it’s there in an outstretched hand
Hear the cries of people suffering
And children of this devastated land
Chinja - Ti chinja – Ti chinja – Hey hey
Chinja - Ti chinja – (n)di zhozho – Hey hey
And shame on those who help preserve
These ruling psychopaths
While they prosper on sorrow and pain
Shame on those who sell them guns
Shame on those who hide their funds
Tyrants must pay for their crimes
Does anybody care for those who live beyond despair
While they’re hunted, tortured and die
For their right to decide who’s to rule and preside
Let the past step aside, step aside
Because time has come for changes
And it’s there in an outstretched hand
Hear the cries of people suffering
And orphans of this devastated land
Chinja - Ti chinja – Ti chinja – Hey hey
Chinja - Ti chinja – (n)di zhozho – Hey hey
Chinja - Ti chinja – Ti chinja – Hey hey hey hey hey hey
Chinja - Ti chinja – (n)di zhozho – Hey hey
TOMORROW AT THE BREAK OF DAY
From the album The Twisted Logic Of Love
Tomorrow at the break of day
When all is quiet in the land
You know will steal away
And I’ll take the winding trail
Where you once led me by the hand
You are never far away
I’ll cross the meadows and the woods
The golden field where we once laid
How I long to be with you
And when I’ll reach the mountain ridge
I’ll watch the lights across the bay
Just like we used to do
And you’ll be waiting patiently
You are always a part of me
I’ll walk alone with my heavy heart
To me the day will be like the night
You once told me to be brave
I’ll reach your home when all is dark
Come straight to you with a candlelight
And place wild flowers on your grave
THE THINGS I DREAD
From the album The Twisted Logic Of Love
The night is closing in behind my walls
As darkness prays upon the fears of tormented souls
Lying on my wooden boards
A dreamless sleep is all I need and longing for
As I wait, my heart is drumming in my head
I lie awake and think of all the things I dread
The floor is creaking in the corridor
Some heavy breathing filters through my bolted door
Where are you when I need you most?
You knew just how to chase away these awful ghosts
As I wait my heart is drumming in my head
I lie awake and think of all the things I dread
A shadow moves along the curtain folds
Now I’m in trouble if I lose my self-control
Someone’s screaming down the hall
It must have woken all the things that creep and crawl
As I wait, my heart is drumming in my head
I lie awake and think of all the things I dread
WASTED LOVE
From the album The Twisted Logic Of Love
It comes in waves to wound and injure
More than you will ever know
I wonder why, I wonder how and days go by while
I remember when you were my life
My one and only love
I ask myself once more
Did I waste my love? Did I waste my love?
Wasted love, wasted love
Was it worth the many torments?
All the lies you told so well?
Was it worth the broken hearts?
The emptiness, well time will tell
I didn’t know how much you yearned for freedom
From our gentle life
You faked your happiness for all to see
Until our final strife
Did I waste my love?
Did I waste my love?
Wasted love, wasted love
Time will ease my pain
But I still ask again
Did I waste my love? Did I waste my love?
Wasted love, wasted love
HE MADE ME LAUGH
From the album The Twisted Logic Of Love
Is love a simple accident
A mere coincidence
The hands of chance
Or was our meeting meant to be
Part of our destiny
I have no idea
But he made me laugh, I made him cry
He made me sometimes just want to die
I made him proud, he made me shine
I often felt I was on cloud nine
Is love celestial chemistry
Two souls in ecstasy
It’s a mystery
Did we meet many lives ago
I guess God only knows
Why I love him so
He made me laugh, I made him cry
He made me sometimes just want to die
I made him proud, he made me shine
I often felt I was on cloud nine
I made him laugh, he made me cry
I made him sometimes just want to die
We stood as one through thick and thin
Not always easy but we didn’t give in
WHEN ALL IS SAID AND DONE
From the album The Twisted Logic Of Love
Why go down that road one more time
You said it didn’t mean a thing
I’ve got to smile as you lie to my face
Please explain who’s bedded in my place
It was a foregone conclusion
For everyone but me
Robbed of my sweetest delusion
For harsh reality
When all is said and done
This betrayal, like a gun
Shattered my life-long dream
Poor unsuspecting fools
Living by the wedding rules
Learn that things aren’t quite what they seem
Not quite what they seem
I will try my luck one more time
To mend my broken confidence
I’ll revamp my anatomy
And find some lasting company
It was a foregone conclusion
For everyone but me
Robbed of another delusion
For harsh reality
When all is said and done
This betrayal, like a gun
Shattered my life-long dream
Poor unsuspecting fools
Living by the wedding rules
Learn that things aren’t quite what they seem
Not quite what they seem
FIRST AND LAST
From the album The Twisted Logic Of Love
You promised but a night to me
But then forgot to set me free
You wished to leave and told me so
I bit your lips and let you go
You gave me joys, you gave me pains
You made the blood rush through my veins
And when that night you said farewell
You opened up all living hell
First and last
I wonder, now that time has passed
Where you will come to rest at last
The shadow moved but darkness stayed
Within my heart; it wouldn't fade
Like ancient tales of love gone wrong
Forever in this mournful song
I walk the lonely desert sands
My sadness fills these ancient lands
And every star that hang above
Remind me of my only love
First and last
I wonder, now that time has passed
Where you will come to rest at last
First and last love of mine
I wonder, now that time has passed
Where you will come to rest at last
YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE
From the album The Twisted Logic Of Love
You’ve been away for such a long time
In foreign lands you’ve cried all your tears
You bare the scars of our broken country
But you’re not alone so master your fears
What can you do for your brothers in need?
From dawn to dusk, it’s a fight for existence
What can I say that would change your mind?
Oh, you can make a difference
I’ve lost the count of motherless children
Left on their own, they barely survive
In shanty towns a whole generation
Pays for the sins of corruption and strife
What can you do for your sisters in need?
From dawn to dusk, it’s a fight for existence
What can I say that would change your mind?
Oh, you can make a difference
Where are the doctors, where are the teachers,
Where are the farmers to feed and heal the land?
Please heed the call. Your beloved homeland
Calling you back to lend a helping hand
What can you do for your brothers in need?
From dawn to dusk, it’s a fight for existence
What can I say that would change your mind?
Oh, can you make a difference?
Yes you can make a difference
UNDER MY TOES
From the album The Twisted Logic Of Love
I could have been a nuclear physicist
I could have been an anthropologist
I could have mastered in philosophy
Cosmography, palaeontology, but I have
Idle hands, lazy bones
Grass grows under my toes
No bees, no honey
No work, no money
I could have been a Nobel price-winner
But I have talent as a bartender
Wasn’t cut out to be a politician
Don’t know the meaning of the word ambition. I’ve got
Idle hands, lazy bones
Grass grows under my toes
No bees, no honey
No work, no money
Early to bed, early to rise
Makes you healthy, wealthy and wise
Early to bed, early to rise
Makes you healthy, wealthy and wise, but I’ve got
A sailor’s life is one of constant motion
Rather be floating on a waveless ocean
A vagabond without a begging bowl
My secret goal is to be on the dole because I’ve got
Idle hands, lazy bones
Grass grows under my toes
No bees, no honey
No work, no money
But easy come easy goes
Grass grows under my toes
Grass grows under my toes
