EUROPEAN SINGLE


1. THE WILDFIRE (IF IT WAS TRUE) (RADIO EDIT)

Well there's something in the way
She said I hate you 'cause you breathe
It's not the first time that i heard it
But this one is out of reach
I got my mind set on destruction
And if it will strike me hard
Will you remember me

Oh it's in the way you set your life
On your alarm and hit the snoozer
You waste your life expectancy
You throw away your hopes and dreams
The night will never end, it'll stay forever
Well the dark will eat you up inside

So I smile and shed a tear
And said when will you go away
She said who cares you're not
Entitled to ask those things today
Don't let the salt get in your eye
Don't let the ghost get in your heart
There were sweet memories
In the corner of my mind
They were telling me to throw up
All the things that I want to hide that

We're having fun in the daytime
We'll chase the stars in the nighttime
And we'll take the sun in the morning
We just don't care if they see us fall
If it was true

Well today I bought the paper by myself
And cried 'cause everyone was happy
And on the streets well they where dancing
To some kind of Puerto Rican music
That we would hate
But we would just move along to

So if you're driving in your car
And hear this song on radio1
Well I know that it sound silly
'Cause you don't have a car
But I just read it in a book
That these things happen in the fictive world

So I smile and shed a tear
And said when will you go away
She said who cares you're not
Entitled to ask those things today
Don't let the salt get in your eye
Don't let the ghost get in your heart
There were sweet memories
In the corner of my mind
They were telling me to throw up
All the things that I want to hide that

We're having fun in the daytime
We'll chase the stars in the nighttime
And we'll take the sun in the morning
We just don't care if they see us fall
Just don't care
Just don't care at all
If it was true

Well there is something in the air
That makes it difficult to live
The way we lived back in the days
When we had all the time to kill
It's just the wildfire burning
There's no way to put it out
Just a wildfire spreading
Through my days and throug my nights
Don't ask no questions
Don't ever tell no lie
I´m so tired of explaining
Every minor detail of my life

We're having fun in the daytime
We'll chase the stars in the nighttime
And we'll catch the sun in the morning
We just don't care if they see us fall
We're having fun in the daytime
We'll chase the stars in the nighttime
And we'll catch the sun in the morning
We just don't care if they see us fall
Just don't care
Just don't care at all
If it was true


2. GOOD MORNING, HERR HORST (RAC MIX)

I've been walking down the street
With a tambourine on my feet
I'm holding every beat steady and low
Well if it would've been me
I would have turned into the factory
And chase that little girl black and blue

Now I'm bleeding
And I'm freezing
And I'm crying once again
For Monday glass
For Monday glass

So if you see me on the street
Don't ask me about my passing days
Just slip another coin
And walk away

Lalalalalalalalala...

I once had a love of mine
With a different heart
In another time
I blew that all with pills and alcohol

I once had a child of mine
With a different heart
In another time
I blew that off with booze and lack of soul

Now I'm bleeding
And I'm freezing
And I'm crying once again
For Monday glass
For Monday glass

So if you see me on the street
Don't ask me about my passing days
Just slip another coin
And walk away
Yeah slip another coin
And walk away

Lalalalalalalalala...

2. WITH OR WITHOUT LOVE

You´ve got me crying
You´ve got me hiding
Girl you´re from the dandelion world
You´ve got him smiling
You´ve got him dying
Screaming for you tonight

With or without love

Take me for granted
Take me in sand and
Take my hand my machine girl
You´re the last wanted
You´ve got me counting
Counting my bitter days

With or without love


3. A HARD DAY'S NIGHT

Like a log!

It's been a hard day's night, and I've been working like a dog
It's been a hard day's night, I should be sleeping like a log
But when I get home to you I find the things that you do
Will make me feel alright

You know I work all day to get you money to buy you things
And it's worth it just to hear you say you're gonna give me everything
So why on earth should I moan, 'cause when I get you alone
You know I feel okay
When I'm home everything seems to be right
When I'm home feeling you holding me tight, tight, yeah
It's been a hard day's night, and I've been working like a dog
It's been a hard day's night, I should be sleeping like a log
But when I get home to you I find the things that you do
Will make me feel alright

Owwww

So why on earth should I moan, 'cause when I get you alone
You know I feel okay
When I'm home everything seems to be right
When I'm home feeling your holding me tight, tight, yeah

It's been a hard day's night, and I've been working like a dog
It's been a hard day's night, I should be sleeping like a log
But when I get home to you I find the things that you do
Will make me feel alright
You know I feel alright
You know I feel alright...


4. SPIT ON YOUR LOVE
