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.
