SIDE A

WHAT IT IS
No more competition
The Time is right, you see
Everything is pretty
Nothing is out of sight

What a lovely invitation
The word is here
Don´t hesitate
Join in and be of good cheer

Yeah, baby
Underneath the open sky
That´s where we will be
Happy together
Love is all we need

What a big sensation
When love is in the guide
We will make it
We will travel light
Everybody´s got an own position
Anywhere you can find the bliss
Everybody´s got their own field of vision
Everything what it is

Underneath the open sky
That´s where we will be
Love is shelter
Love is all we need

Yeah, baby
Underneath the open sky
That´s were we belong
Oh, come on baby
Love is getting strong


WHEN I FALL IN LOVE
You ask yourself
Where is the power coming from
Leading you day by day
So you can be clear and strong

There´s an angel standing right next to you
And it´s shure that will be true to you
In the evening everything
Is said and done

You ask yourself
What makes you see the light in the dark
Out of the bottom
Of a valley you rise up

There´s an angel giving you a little clue
And you´ll know what you´re gonna do
In the morning, when you wake up
All the work is done

When I fall in love
I´m falling deep
I can´t get enough
Cause love´s so sweet

When i fall in love
Time goes slow
A voice above says
let it go

You ask yourself
What is this seeking all about?
There is a voice inside you
Singing clear and loud -
Yeah, yeah, yeah

There´s an angel giving you trust and grace
You can feel all the love and faith
in the morning, when you wake up
All your dreams are true

When i fall in love
I´m falling deep
I can´t get enough
Cause love´s so sweet

When i fall in love
Time goes slow
And a voice above says:
Let it go - go, go ,go


GOOD GOOD FEELING
You hold the cup of sympathy
You bring sparkles to my eyes
You´re flexible, you´ve got the fantasy
For almost any enterprise

At daybreak you´re fictitious
At noon you´re so perspicious
At night you are delicious

You´ve got
All good, good feeling
And all good loving
All good, good doing, every day

The more you give, the more you get
That´s your natural law
You´re considerate so delicate
There´s nothing you ignore

I never see you vicious
Or even avaricious
No, you ain´t pernicious

You´ve got
All good, good feeling
And all good loving
All good, good doing, every day

You´re the one that makes believe
What mankind´s all about
You´re in my heart, you´re in my soul
You´re my best layout

You never be capricious
Or superstitious, I know
You won´t be sedicious

You´ve got
All good, good feeling
And all good loving
All good, good doing, every day


WE CAN SING A SONG
My people listen
For you i sing this song
Lend me your ears
So my heart is getting strong

Life is a wonder
For those who comprehend
Souls live in freedom
Like water runs unbent

The whole wide world is living
We know where we belong
When all the rivers are flowing
We can sing a song

My Baby loves me
For inner truth and faith
And i love my baby
Together we get grace - yeah, yeah, yeah

Life is a wonder
For those whon understand
We live in freedom
Our souls will be unbent

The whole wide world is living
You and i are one
When all the trees are growning
We can sing a song
When all the rivers are flowing
We can sing along

Here are the days for giving
We see the truth beyond
When all the walls are falling
We can sing a song
When all the birds are singing
We can sing along

The universal living
Is you and I in one
When all the rivers are flowing
We can sing a song


ONE WORLD
We can cross the high sea
We can fly through the sky
We can move every mountain with faith

Every wall has a door
Every spring moulds a stone
Every word we can hear with our heart

It´s all in uns together
And it´s time to release
What´s waiting to lead us to one

Cause it´s one world
We live in
Only one word
We´re giving
That´s love
Love

There is no one alone
We can win every game
When we know that there is no loser

It´s all in uns together
And it´s time to release
What´s waiting to lead us to one

Cause it´s one world
We live in
Only one word
We´re giving
That´s love
Love


COME ON!
Come on, everybody!
Right up, ti´s time to dance
Move on, out of body!
Come on, experience!

Get up, have a party!
Join in, no violence
Stand up, everybody
Get up, make love, make sense!

Come on, now i need a notion
Tell me
What is future
And what is past
Who is the first
And who is the last
Tell me
What is sight
And what is sound
Who makes the world
Go round and round
Tell me
What is below
And what is above
How does it feel
When you fall in love

Get up, have a party!
Join in, no violence
Stand up, everybody
Get up, make love, make sense!

Come on, now i need a notion
Tell me
Who´s got the beauty
Who´s got the grace
What is time
And what is space
Tell me
What is hot
And what is cold
Who is young
And who is old
I know
Trees don´t move
I just need a clue
Why is the ocean
So blue, so blue

Come on!
Right up!
Move on!
Come on!

PIRATE STYLE
I make up my face
Put my red dress on
I comb my hair, i paint my nails
The work is done
I´m feeling alright
Tonight you gonna stay with me

The clock strikes eight
I taste a nectarine
The doorbell rings, my heart beats
Like a rhythmmachine
I´m feeling alright
Tonight you gonna stay with me

They told us there´s heaven
We get it pirate style
We will go to heaven
Lay your body by my side
Come on babe!

Your eyes are dark
Your lips are red
Your smell is better than the
Nectarine i had
I´m feeling allright
Tonight you gonna stay with me

They told us there´s heaven
We get it pirate style
We will go to heaven
Lay your body by my side
All right!

SIDE B

COME TOGETHER!
We know the songs
That everybody´s singing
In places, where people meet
We know the feeling
When everybody´s swinging
In the street

Come together, all you people
Talk together!
Come together, all you children
Play together!

In the morning, in the evening
Come together!
All your lifetime, nowßs the right time
Go for love!

We know the songs
That everybody´s singing
In places, where people meet
We know the feeling
When everybody´s swinging
in the street

We know the parties
Where everybody´s laughing
You find out where you belong
We know the power
That you and me are getting
So well, that we gonna move on
Move on!

Come together, all you nations
Live together!
Come together, celebrations
Sing together!
In the nighttime, that´s the fine time
Sleep together!
All the way long, happy and strong
Go for love

We know the songs
That everybody´s singing
In places, where people meet
We know the feeling
When everybody´s swinging
In the street

We know the parties

So well, that we wanna move on

NOW AND FOREVER
I like to be in your company
I´m sure we have a good time
I feel the push in our chemistry
That´s a good sign

We´ve always been a big family
So many years went by
Together we feel the mistery
That makes me smile, makes me smile

Now and forever
We shall be friends
Hold us together
With helping hands

I take advantage of your energy
I´ve got to sing the best
And in the center of our unity
I will rest

We´ve lost and found our compass point
Our love goes pirate style
Once on the front side of a credit coin
We will smile, we will smile

Baby, for now and forever
We shall be friends
Hold us together
With helping hands

Baby, when love is so easy
Love is so sweet
Baby, please, please me
With your heartbeat

Now and forever
We shall be friends
Hold us together
With your helping hands


ALL WE NEED IS MUSIC
If you wanna be free, be free!
If you wanna be high
Take a trip to heaven - come on!
if you wanna be rich, be rich
if you wanna be true
Believe yourself - come on!

If you wanna be cool
Don´t light my fire - come on!
If you wanna be good, be good
If you wanna be glad
Just let it be - come on !

Come on, come on, yeah!

All we need is music
All we need is dance
All we need is music
All we need is dance

Come on, you´re the one

Come on, two in one
come on, all in one - come on, yeah!

Come on, come on, yeah!

All we need is music
All we need is dance
All we need is music
All we need is dance

The beginning was the Word
And the Word was God
And God was all in one
We put the Word into a melody
So we can sing along with this song
Hear the Word!

Now music comes from everywhere
We can hear it from the west
From the east and the north and south
From inside of your chest.

The groove is there for ffeling good
it moves from ear to ear
From heart to heart, from soul to soul
Til harmony is here

I can´t get no satisfaction
We don´t need no education
We don´t need another hero
All you need is love

All we need is music
All we need is dance
All we need is music
All we need is dance


LIVING IN A MADHOUSE
Sometimes we´re up
Sometimes down
Sometimes we laugh
Sometimes we frown
We´re living in a madhouse

Maybe we´re cold
Maybe not
Maybe we move
Maybe we stop
We´re living in a madhouse

Oh it´s good to see you by my side
That´s real good news
In this place there´s only one way out
Let´s dance and shout

We´re living in a madhouse
We´re living in a madhouse

Sometimes we wish
Sometimes we get
Sometimes we hold
Sometimes we let
We´re living in a madhouse

Maybe we´re rich
Maybe poor
Maybe we hurt
Maybe we cure
We´re living in a madhouse

Oh it´s good to see you by my side
That´s real good news
In this place there´s only one way out
Let´s dance and shout

Living in a madhouse
Living in a madhouse
Living in a madhouse
We´re living in a madhouse

Oh come on baby dance with me!
I wanna feel you by my side, yeah!
Uh, come on baby
Come on, come on, come on, come on!

Oh it´s good to see you by my side
That´s real good news
In this place there´s only one way out
Let´s dance and shout

Living in a madhouse
Living in a madhouse


LOVE TRAIN
If you walk afood on sandy roads
Dust will be your blues
And the signed up miles by the crossroad trax
Don´t care about your teared up shoes

You can ride a bike hillup, hilldown
The wind will find your eyes
And your spinning feet turning round and round
They could well give you advice

Take the love train
Take the love train

You can go by car on a freeway drive
There´s stop and go ahead
And the fuel you need for the next sixty miles
Make a hole in the earth

There´s still another possibility
You can fly a turbo jet
Send a telefax in computer networks
You could get lost in the facts

Take the love train
Take the love train

We can dance and sing, laugh and swing
Trust will blaze the trail
And our love is sure, nice and mature
Cause love laid out the rail

Take the love train
Take the love train

And we go, go, go fast or slow
We´re passing hills and vales
We can dance and sing, laugh and swing
Love will blaze the trail
Take the love train
Take the love train


HOW THE GYPSY WAS BORN
And God saw that this work was nearly done
a green, mighty planet circled round the sun
Silver fishes increased in the blue seas
all kinds of feathered built their nests in the trees

And God saw that everything was nice
but there had to be a creature who looked like me and you - so he realised !

So he took some earth and put it in a form
but the oven wasn´t hot enough - and the white man was born!

Walk on, walk on, you can live in the cold zone of the world
´cause you are used to it, since your birth.
I have to build another creature who looks like me and you
but one who´s not so pale - he has to get a hotter blow!

So he took some earth an put it in a form
but the ovenwas too hot now - and the black man was born!

Walk on, walk on you can live in the hot zone of the world
´cause you are used to it, since your birth.
I have to build another creature who looks like me and you
but one who´s not so dark - he has to get a special blow!

So he took some earth an put it in a form
and the oven was right now - so the gipsy was born!
Go to the top of a mountain and look, do you see this land around?
Go where you like to be ´cause you and the gipsy will be free...
