One night I heard the overture
Of a gigantic opera [romantic]
Nirvana for a primadonna
But in my haste to catalogue and order
The notes slept back under the cover
[I was awake]
I could have heard a little [better later]
Things always do sound [better later]
Oh But I could not hold on [any longer]
Had to wake up and make it there
I had this tune, a cantata
Multitude of voices and drama,
The counterpoint and rhythmic elements,
The arrangement was so tiring and draining
I could’nt cope with everything
[So I made a pop song]
I could have demo’ed a little [better later]
Things always do sound [better later]
Oh But I could not hold on [any longer]
I had to find a publisher
Direct from the collective unconscious
To my single soul a piece so luscious
A music so gorgeous
To make me famous, illustrious
I sent it all to Sony, Warner,
Universal and a few other...
I waited right on for some reaction
But I admit I was not too persistent
I was so sure of my talent
[Come on, sing it along!]
I could have sung this song [better later]
Things always do sound [better later]
Oh But I could not hold on [any longer]
I had to be the precursor
Better later...

First time we looked at each other,
Looks locked up, so no one even dared to dare
What a silly situation,
Since we knew that love was in the air…
(Later)
Each time we fought over dish-wash,
Or over the kid’s educational mishmash,
Once the nasty words have taken off ,
Once the dishes were all broken…
You were there, oh boy! - I was here,
Sedimenting under tons of solid air.
For a chance to move anywhere,
One has to let go of his ego
I am thirsty, I burst, I’ll be first!
Now that we know each other so well
The fight is against indifference.
When the silence is warm and cozy,
When the looks become so easy…
You are there oh boy! - I am here,
Sedimenting under tons of solid air.
For a chance to move anywhere,
One has to let go of his ego
You are there standing - I am here,
Sedimenting under tons of solid air.
For a chance to move anywhere,
One has to let go of his ego
I am thirsty, I burst, I’ll be first!
I’m so hungry it hurts, can’t be worse!
I’m unquiet but I’m set, I will bet!
I reset! I forget! I’m your pet!

Grown Up Girl

When you sneaked into the bed In the wee hours of the morning
I refused to bow the head No more crying or denying
Finger snap, switch on the light Your face was so full of contrition
I couldn’t wait to start a fight But you had an explanation
After all, we’re a free couple, And I’m a grown up girl…
You could say that you love me
And how much you do care
You could serve a plate of “want you” too,
I’ll eat it all, just a breakfast of sunlight
Would have loved to believe in you
But not again, I’ll refrain
So you can swear all you want to me now
I swear that I won’t fall
You looked at me right in the eyes You gave a bunch of good reasons
But your words were in disguise Your lips the gates of a prison
You said for me you still burn Your heart is kinda like on fire
But when a lovely flame turns That’s when the smoke gets in your eyes
You had to appease the tingling Pour water, breathe some fresh air
Couldn’t see time was flying That’s why you’re back late in the lair
But you forget a thing to mention: Why the wind has changed direction
After all we’re an all free couple, And I’m a grown up girl
You could say that you love me
And how much you do care
You could serve a plate of “want you” too,
I’ll eat it all, just a breakfast of sunlight
Would have loved to believe in you
But not again, I’ll refrain
So you can swear all you want to me now
I swear that I won’t fall
Cos I know, cos I feel, I’m a grown up girl,
Cos I feel, cos I know
No, not again, no more pain, I’m a grown up girl,
No more pain, not again
No, no more sway, no more play, I’m a grown up girl,
No more play, no more sway
Cos, Cos I know, cos I feel, I’m a grown up girl,
Cos I feel, cos I know

What am I supposed to do now?
Yesterday I knew it so bad
And now there is nothing tomorrow
I am looking for it right now
I would like to know everything
Everything that in this world exists
I am not looking for something
I have to say I miss this feeling so bad
What am I supposed to do now?
Yesterday I knew it so bad
And now there is nothing tomorrow
I am looking for it now
Growing up isn’t pleasant at all
Even if I hated being a child
But at least I knew exactly what I’d be
And now there’s only me and me
What am I supposed to do now?
Yesterday I knew it so bad
And now there is nothing tomorrow
I am still looking for it
What am I supposed to do now?
Yesterday I knew it so bad
And now there is nothing tomorrow
I am still looking for it right now…
