LUST FOR LIFE
Music: Hansen/Lyrics: Hansen

Comin' out of misery, back to the old energy, takin' part in our daily show.
Think of what has been before, made a move and slammed the door.
Future will remain in the unknown.
Face the face of the race, try to understand
Why are we here and what do we want,
The answer is easy, let's spread it around.
Loud and proud, we're gonna say it now.
Live - Life - Easy
Live - Life - Easy
Many things to think about, bring me up or bring me down
A lot of things I hardly understand.
What is good and what is fair, problems solved, but I don't care
Sometimes it's just getting out of hand.
Face the face of the race, try to understand
I know that you know that we can be strong
If we pull together we can get along.
Loud and proud, we're gonna say it now
Live - Life - Easy
Live - Life - Easy
Let us fly away, let us praise the days
When the lust for life is stronger than the fear.
Though we shiver and shake and we sometimes need a break,
It's the lust for life that never disappears.
Loud and proud, we're gonna say it now
Live - Life - Easy
Live - Life - Easy
 
 

HEAVEN CAN WAIT
Music: Hansen/Lyrics: Hansen

Too many people, too much trouble, too many problems in the morn.
Another sunrise in the rubble, another ship sunk by the storm.
Some little angel tries to tell me that it's over,
It's just a bad reflection from above.
The load upon my shoulder makes me stronger, even bolder,
Oh no no, I haven't had enough.
Heaven can wait 'til another day,
Cause there ain't no reason to leave.
The world is a stage where we all can play.
Another fine reason to live, and heaven can wait, heaven can wait.
Each day a new reason to give up, each day another reason to sigh.
A hundred thousand ways to live up, a hundred thousand ways to try.
Hey, little angel, don't you tell me that it's over,
You're just a bad reflection from above.
The load upon my shoulder gives me reasons to get older
Tell the boss I haven't had enough.
Heaven can wait 'til another day,
Cause there ain't no reason to leave.
The world is a stage where we all can play,
Another fine reason to live, and heaven can wait, let it wait.
Heaven can wait, let it wait, let it wait, let it wait.
Our eyes are closed but they should be open wide,
Let's listen to the voice that's calling from inside,
Let's stay alive and move on, on our way.
And heaven can wait, heaven can wait.
Heaven - can wait
'Til another day.

SPACE EATER
Music: Hansen/Lyrics: Hansen

You know who I am, I show you a land
Where you can be free, can get your relief.
Space is all yours, desires come true,
Love of your life waitin' for you
I got no time for wasting all my day,
Come on and follow, follow me away.
Spaceeater - you're losing control
Spaceeater - and I own your soul
I'll make you happy, ain't no lie,
Come eat my space, you're gonna fly.
Let me control your senses,
And lose your mind, your worries inside.
I got no time to stand and waste my day,
Come on and follow, follow me away.
Spaceeater you're losing control
Spaceeater and I own your soul
A little bit, a little bit, a little sip, a little hit
You're drowning in a lusty whirl, be superman or wondergirl.
Oh, we fly away on supersonic dreams, we ride on universal starshine,
Through space.
I got no time to stand and waste my day,
Come on and follow, follow me away.
Spaceeater

MONEY
Music: Hansen/Lyrics: Hansen

I don't need no money, I will stick to my ideals.
You better get some money, you better get yourself a deal.
I won't change my habits and I throw it all away.
No, no, you better keep it all together for another day.
Money - uh, yeah
It only makes me sick and makes the people turn to fools.
It only gives you power and power makes the rules.
Don't wanna be an asshole that sits on dollar bills.
Ha, ha, ha, I know you'll take it no matter how you feel.
Money - uh, yeah
Nothing you will get for free, illusion or reality,
The mirror of your dreams is made of cash.
It drives me wild and drives me crazy,
Makes me fat and makes me lazy.
Anything you want, anything you need
Anything you want, anything you need
If I had a little money I would feel okay.
It is money that rules the world, it is money that lights the day,
It is money that makes it work, it is money that makes you live!
Money, money, money, money
Give me money - everybody wants some.
Everybody needs some.
I want more, you want more, we want more, they want more.
Nothing you will get for free, illusion or reality,
Anything you want, anything you need
Anything you want, anything you need
You can have a little more but still won't feel okay
It is money that rules the world, it is money that lights the day,
It is money that money that makes it work,
it is money that makes you live!
Hey, hey - - - Money - yeah, Money - yeah,
Money - yeah, Money

THE SILENCE
Music: Hansen/Lyrics: Hansen

When you're drowning, when you're freezin', when you're feeling cold
There's a light in the darkness as the elder always told.
When the winter's coming closer and the autumn's passing by,
Then the world will sink in silence and I think we all should try.
Oh, I wanna live my life in a fairy tale
Where the end is always good and never sad.
Show me the way to another world
Where the sun is always shining in the end.
And we fight back the tears, and we lose our fears.
Let the world remain in silence for a while.
Sun in our minds in a world full of ice,
Let the silence remain for a little while.
Somebody came and slammed the door took the feelin' away from our hearts;
And the horror took hold of a place in our hearts filled with love.
What is left behind the ice, behind the make up and the lies
Tell me what goes on inside our minds.
There is a hole in our sky, getting bigger growing wide
No more answer but we hold the line - - uh, yeah - - -
See and hear what we have done to us all, we wanna be free more than anything,
Do you hear what I say to you?
We will make it through, the sun shall shine.
Hear the words we say and see the light of day
We never will be free until the sun is shining for us all
Carry on, carry on and make our dreams come true
And for a little while we stay together.
Carry on, carry on, may all our lovin'stay
And for a little while we stay together forever,
Together, forever.

HOLD YOUR GROUND
Music: Hansen/Lyrics: Hansen

Come to plague me, rape and take me
Freeze me up, freeze me up.
Politician, inquisition freeze 'em up,
Freeze 'em up, freeze 'em up.
They're closing in, the iron round,
They hold the snare in hand,
To strangulate your way to live,
The norm always wins in the end.
Hold your ground, or tomorrow it will be taken.
Hold your ground, or tomorrow it will be taken.
Tomorrow it will be taken.
Law and order wall and border,
Freeze me up, freeze me up.
Automatic, democratics, freeze 'em up.
Freeze 'em up, freeze 'em up.
No parole on your housewall,
So nice and clean - our land.
And though they crash the hammer down
Resistance lives on in the end,
Hold your ground, or tomorrow it will be taken.
Hold your ground, or tomorrow it will be taken.
Tomorrow it will be taken.
They sneak around, they spy your mind,
Your unborn child's a number on their way
Into the grey.
Insanity, they steal your dreams,
They promise everything but they betray
Day after day.
Hold your ground, or tomorrow it will be taken.
Hold your ground, or tomorrow it will be taken.
Tomorrow it will be taken.

FREE TIME
Music: Scheepers/Lyrics: Scheepers

The weekend comes, I'm gonna see my baby,
I close the door and leave everything behind.
I hit the road, the sun is shining down so brightly,
Five more miles and I'm lying in her arms.
Now her motions turn me on, and I'm gonna sing my song.
Free time is one of the things that I love,
Free time is one of the things I enjoy.
The sun goes down, we're gonna see a movie.
How happy life could be without any work.
There ain't no doubt we're gonna have a party,
'Til Monday morning, noone can disturb.
Now your motions turn me on, and we're gonna sing our song.
Free time is one of the things that I love,
Free time is one of the things I enjoy.
Free time - - - we want more

HEADING FOR TOMORROW
Music: Hansen/Lyrics: Hansen

Time has passed in the modern world
Where the madmen live and speak their word.
Life in hand they deal with god
Put a trademark sign up on everyone.
God bless the children, freedom is their word.
Freedom, freedom 'til they learn to obey.
Don't fear the liars, reason is their name.
Reason, reason, play a silly game.
Where will the children go tomorrow?
Is anybody there to claim
That he understands our human game?
We can make a prophecy,
Oh we can't say what is going to be.
Where are we going, and what is our aim?
Freedom, freedom locked inside our brains
So many answers, reason is their name,
Reason, reason, the question will remain
Where will the children go tomorrow?
Hey you, where do you go? - - - - Heading for tomorrow
Hey you, where do you go? - - - - Heading for my life
Hey you, where do you go? - - - - Heading for tomorrow
Hey you, where do you go!
When we are born, tell me what is our aim?
And what will be when society fails?
We are heading for tomorrow, we don't know if we are near.
When we are gone, tell me what will remain?
And what will be when society fails?
We are heading for tomorrow but we don't know if we're near!

LOOK AT YOURSELF
Music: Ken Hensley/Lyrics: Ken Hensley

I see you running, don't know what you're running from.
Nobody's comin', what'd you do that was so wrong.
Look back and turn back, look at yourself.
Don't be afraid, just look at yourself.
If you need assistance, or if all you need is love.
There's no point in hidin', tell me what you're frightened of.
You got a friend, just look at yourself.
Don't be afraid, just look at yourself.
