    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
