Compass of Nigeria
Young Man with the Sideburns, short cut jeans
Sunburned skin burned by the sea
Cheap sunglasses and long blond hair
Anchor on a wiry arm
Bootleggers, dealers, heartbreakers, and squealers
Lagos harbor ‚74
Rising sun and, it’s a waiting time
There’s a mission on tonight
(Chorus)
Diving deep down, in the African night
Crossing flashlight beams
Under the surface ,of the African sea
Compass of Nigeria
After the move in Fela Kuti’s bar
Star lager, muffled light
African vamps move in the flood light
Sore temptation doesn’t touch
Cheap cigarettes, slow talk
Blood brothers for this night
Moon rises over the nissen huts
Smell of smoke, smell of older gods
(Chorus)
Diving deep down, in the African night
Crossing flashlight beams
Under the surface ,of the African sea
Compass of Nigeria
Salvage of the compass piece by piece
By the divers in the night
Wrap the tools in the oil soaked clothes
By Lagos Island the ship does slide
On the open water there’s a heavy sea
Portable radio calms down the man
They’re hold their peace about the campaign
Back in Holland it’s Amen

On a hot summer’s night
You know my sheets are damp
Just can’t find my sleep allright
The older guys in the street
You know like.. fooling around
Living a modern teenage dream
My sister’s just around
You know. hanging out down town
Feeling just like a grown up girl
Like my father used to try
The tears my mother cried
Keeping it all together
(Chorus)
And all I ever wanted to be like…
A grown up man inside and…
Waiting for the time to come and be…
Like a
On a distant motorway
A biker find it’s way
Towards the far horizon
Through the heat there is the night
The sounds of summer outside
Just like an endless childhood play
Like an instant memory
Between dream and day
I could just find my friends and play
Like my father used to cry
The times my mother tried
Keeping it all together
(Chorus)
Like the river flows down to the sea
A grown up man to be and…
Waiting for my time to come and rise..
Like a sun
On a distant motorway
A biker find it’s way
Towards the far horizon
Like my father used to try
The tears my mother cried
Keeping it all together
Like the river flows down to the sea
A grown up man to be and…
Waiting for my time to come and rise..
Like a sun

Looking for my brother
If you ask me where I'm going on this long dirty road.
Lifes I lost, weapons were built, this story can't be told.
He came out of nowhere sometimes he's like a Kobold.
Emigrated suddenly now I miss his hold.
Tell you:
I am looking for my brother that's my skill in law.
He's my buddy like no other You never saw.
I am looking for my brother that's my skill in law.
He's my buddy like no other You never saw.
Wet busstop is killing me while I'm riding in.
Black bars wait for me but I never walk in.
Lord is with me beeing carried on a big big wing.
Finding my brother and we are back in the ring.
Tell you:
I am looking for my brother that's my skill in law.
He's my buddy like no other You never saw.
I am looking for my brother that's my skill in law.
He's my buddy like no other You never saw.

My Name is Baker I’m guarding the maker
I’m Peter I’m Edward from Lewisham London
With trumpet and drumming my weightiness is clear
Aplomb is essential for surviving, out on the streets
When you’re out of control
Range Rover riding nowhere that I’m hiding
Canned beer and sundown, sunglasses and sunburn
Camel cigarette in the corner of mouth
Desert wind blowing my red hair with sand colides
When you’re out of control
I am a nightmare a well known fighter
Charlie Watts is a shaker, Louis Bellson maker
Double bass, double drums, double drugs I will take
Having more horses than woman, my friends call it fate,
When you’re out of control

Don’t Fear a Distant Sun
When you know you have to hide
Travelling through space and time
Fire your Laser Guns at once
Feel the pressure of the...
Black Hole pulling on your strings
A voice will ring
Don’t fear a distant Sun...
Through the Supernova clouds
On the Radio the...
Sounds of the Big Bang is pouring through
With the Fear of losing you
Pressure on your Wings
A voice will sing
Don’t fear a distant Sun...
Accelerating Universe
Through the wormhole it comes worse
A distant Noise from far beyond
Radiation from the Sun
Zero Gravity
A voice will sing
Don’t fear a distant Sun...

This Wooden Crown
To turn this stone to Bread and…
turn this water into Wine’s a trick inside the head…
You’ll see this Ocean in front of you
And walk across it just like Sinners do
Yeah you talk to your Father above
You’ll take this Wooden Crown
Feels like you touch the Hand of God
Yeah you’ll be astouned…
About the way things going
In your Head, until you reach the light
Yeah it’s like Heaven above
And I’ll guess it’s allright my Friend
Feels like you reach another time
And I’ll guess it’s allright
Don’t hang on to the smallest straw
Yeah I’ll guess it’s allright my Friend
Don’t wander let the River flow inside your Head
Yeah it’s allright
Take a bite from this poisoned Fruit…
Let the Snake crawl it’s understood
Your Ivory Tower’s high above the Ground
These Words will echoing throughout the Crwowd
Yeah you talk about Sinners and Saints
Don’t fear the biggest Waves
Preach the Fisherman “Don’t be afraid”
We’ll reach the Shore allright
We’re gonna melt the golden lamb
Until we’ll reach the light allright
Yeah it’s like Heaven above
And I’ll guess it’s allright my Friend
Feels like you reach another time
And I’ll guess it’s allright
Don’t hang on to the smallest straw
Yeah I’ll guess it’s allright my Friend
Don’t wander let the River flow inside your Head
Yeah it’s allright

Like a Sun that seems to set in the morning.
Seems the dog just raised her head and started moaning.
Change the colours of my mood so often.
With a teardrop try to clean my dirty shoes allright.
All I wanted to avoid is that you could ever be lonely.
Being always on the wrong side of the street it's so cold here.
Like a horse we run allright....
Like a fire creeping through the night..
Like a secret kept inside...
Never know the reason why...
We don't know the reason why we're here.
Creating heroes to exploit our deepest fears.
Reading funny books to change our ways.
Our daily bread our holy water through our Vains.
All I wanted to be back into your arms but they're closed now.
All you wanted me to change myself in something you wanted.
Like a horse we run allright....
Like a fire creeping through the night..
Like a secret kept inside...
Never know the reason why...
We don't know the reason why we're here.
Creating heroes to exploit our deepest fears.
Reading funny books to change our ways.
Our daily bread our holy water through our vains
All I wanted to be back into your arms but they're closed now.
All you wanted me to change myself in something you wanted.
Like a horse we run allright....
Like a fire creeping through the night..
Like a secret kept inside...
Never know the reason why...

This Field of Mines
When we realize, it’s time take…
Back what was lost…
Never could decide what’s good or bad
And now we’re stuck
Seems that all the Dreams we had are vanished in the Hay…
Swept it away…
Feels like I got stones inside my Head,
But it’s O.K.
Our love is undressed
And I could care less
Feeding on the Past
I guess it’s all true… but remember,
We used to break down…
All the Walls that lay in front of our Way
We’d walk our own Road…
But now it seems that have lost our way…Lost our way…
Looks like all the Flowers in the Vase
Will lose their leaves…
Now that we’re faking up…
Almost breaking up…
It hurts so bad, it feels just like the Rain…
And all the time the silent treatment cuts me like a Knife…
Slowly just pushed inside…
All the Pain of being kept away.…
Just isn’t right…
It’s cold in these Bones of mine
I know you’re the same…
Walking through this field of mines… but remember
We used to tear down…
All the Walls that tried to keep us inside
We’d find our own way…
But now we’re lost inside our small little world…small little world.
