Who do you love
Would you like who you were
If you met them someplace
would you recognize the lines
on a stranger´s face
oh Would you know yourself
as good as i know you
who do you love
Yeah who do you love
Would you write me a song
If I had your faith
Would you give me the money
If I had your smile (if I took what you want, Demoline)
Oh, can you trust yourself
when you don´t trust nobody else
who do you love
Yeah who do you love
Who do you love
Would you laugh if i told you
I don´t need nobody else
Would you laugh if i told you
i don´t want nobody else
Would you like yourself
If you knew what you had
But who do you love
Yeah who do you love
Who do you love

Give What You Take
Lalalalala
I´ve been looking for a love
Pretty soon i guess i´ll fuck things up
But right now i´m gonna laugh
there´s a light in your eyes
that fills me with life
You´ve got to give what you take
you´ve got to give what you take
Lalalala
There´s a rhythm in you that makes me wanna dance
Makes me wanna dance
A loving in you that makes me wanna fly
makes me wanna fly
I´ve been looking for a love
Pretty soon i guess i´ll fuck things up
But right now i´m gonna laugh
there´s a light in your eyes
that fills me with life
You´ve got to give what you take
you´ve got to give what you take
Lalalallalala...

Some kinda angel
in the night-time bars
the hours go slowly
the life-lines fade fast as the music plays soft
and the band falls apart
and Jane needs some excitement
her boyfriend stands tall
for nothing at all
as he bores her to bed
in the morning light
i was fading fast
those moonshine visions
were gaining their grasp and the highway blues
had pulled me down to my knees
and you, were some kinda angel
you took me aside
said hey nevermind
i'll make you feel better
and the morning came
you said i will never understand
why the midnight lies are never planned
and which dream is yours
and which is mine
i said hey don't you feel alive
when the night time holds ya
and there's nothing that you want
no place that you can't go
nothing that you need
no one you cannot touch
i said yeah..gimme something new
gimme something new

All your tears
Where´s the magic that you wear
That keeps you safe
and keeps you feelin free
Whose arms have held you
that you don´t know who you are
anymore
Is that music taht you hear
a distant sound from a distant year
Yeah somethin changed
and you lost your defence
and now its gone
something changed my friend
yeah something CHANGED
all your tears hace come at once
and now your lost
Whats the sense in moving ground
a hard sun is never hard to find
Just clode your eyes
turn your face to the wind
and youll be fine
Whres the magic that you wear
taht keeps you safe
and keeps you feelin free
whose arms have held you
that you don´t know who you are
anymore
Something changed my friend
yeah something changed
all yout tears have come at once
and now your lost...
yeah now your lost

Yer feet
I was drunk when I met you
I was drunk when you walked out the door
and i rolled around the night
to find you
but i guess you never knew
yeah you needed something solid
you could hold
like a dog that came when you called
like a coatstand that siteout in the hall
But you don´t need me
Its your feet you dont need
always facin back the way you just came
i dont love you anymore
i dont need you
im just keepin the score
you said life is to short to be bored
all this crawlin around the floor
wont get you what you want
its just a waste
and you dont need me
So i look at every woman
just too see if theres something there
for me
and i look up every moment
just to know if im missing something
sweet
and i need somethin solid i can hold
like a dog that comes when i call
like a brick i can throw against the wall
but i dont need you
yeah i dont NEED you...

Caught beneath your heel
Open your eyes
stand against the wall
Tell me what you see
tell me what your lookin for
im caught beneath the wheels
caught beneath your heel
ill be your lover or your friend babe
but i will not be a fool
Maybe its your pride
the midnight in your eyes
that tricks you into thinkin
that you got nowhere to hide
But this time you must know
yeah this time you must know
ill be your lover or your friend babe
but i will not be your fool
Just tell me what you see
yeah tell me what you see
Im caught beneath your heel babe
an its you that must let GO
just tell me what you see
yeah tell me what you see

Keep it all hid
you keep it all hid
like your waiting for the guillotine
to fall
you keep it all hid
like your waiting
for someone to save you
and you lean against the wall
like you just learned how
and you tell me that you know me
but i dont know why
so i just laugh
Yeah you keep it all hid
dont it make you feel alone
you keep it all hid
dont it make you feel tired
You used to smile
now you just stare at your knees
sometimes honey i wish i was
better company
and so do you
But you keep it all hid
yeah you keep it all hid
you keep it all hid
dont you babe
Did you ever really know
Did you ever really give
Did you ever take the time
did you read between the lines
no you waited fo me to try
Yeah you keep it all hid
you keep it all hid
you keep it all hid
dont you babe
you can keep it
yeah you can keep it
you keep it all hid

Baby´s coming home
Baby´s driving too fast
she says she´s got to get away
Yeah she needs somewhere
where the sky is wide
and she wont feel afraid
Baby´s driving out late
she says that she just feels so lost
She´ll be back when the sun comes up
and she can´t see the stars
Soon you will be walking down
Roosan St again and you will feel alright
You´ll be dancin on the line
Dancing because you feel alive
Yeah that´s right
Yeah that´s right
Baby´s coming home
Baby´s driving too fast
and she dont wanna know which way
Yeah she´s read enough ROCK & ROLL
to know that it´s right now that counts
Baby´s driving too fast
but she dont really understand
Why she´s got everything she needs
but nothin she really wants
Soon you will be walking down
Roosan St again and you will feel alright
You´ll be dancin on the line
Dancing because you feel alive
Yeah that´s right
Baby´s coming home

To whom should I write
where are you now
have you travelled too far
and how are your dreams
have you got what you need
and whom do you smile on
did you walk out the line
did you take what you wanted
did you take what was right
and whom do you fly with
when you break out the day
Whom do you cry with
whose wings do you steal
to whom should i write
whose smile do you ride on
when you're walking alone
and whom do you think of
when the night is your home
is there nothing that breaks you
no thought for the dead
and whom should i think of
when closing to door
yeah whom should i think of
which smile should i ride
to whom should i write

This road I´m travelling
There´s a place i know
Whree you can´t lok down
It makes me feel alive
Yeah it makes you feel alive
This road I´m travelling
It don´t mean no good
Except to make me feel alone
Yeah make me feel alone
Try so hard
Yeah you know i try so hard
Just to make yuou feel alright
Yeah make you feel alright
But you got to roll away
Yeah you gotta
Yeah you got to roll away
You got to roll
I take my chanses
I take them every day
But they don´t do no good
No it don´t do no good
Feel like rolling
Moving on down the line
I got to see what´s out there
I got ot take what ´s mine
But you got to roll away
Yeah you got to roll
Yeah you got to roll away
You got to roll
You give what you get
You give what you give
And it don´t make no sense
No it don´t make no sense
Feel like rolling
Moving on down the line
I got to see what´s out there
I got to take what´s mine.
