Out

i'm so alone tonight
my bed feels larger
than when i was small
lost in memories
lost in all the sheets
and old pillows

i'm so alone tonight
miss you more than
i could let you know
miss the outline
of your back
miss you breathing
down my neck

To Get

oh, they're all out
to get you
once again
they're all out
to get you
once again

insecure
whatcha gonna do?
feel so small
they could step on you
called you up
answering machine
when the human touch
is what i need
what i need
is you
i need you

You

looked in the mirror
i don't know
who i am anymore
the face is familiar
but the eyes
the eyes give it
all away

here they come again
they're all out
to get you
once again
they're all out
to get you
once again

Revolution

to the marxists and the police
to the junkies in the streets
to the gangsters in our towns
and the others underground
to the prostitutes and whores
to the self-admiring bores
to the drinkers in a drought
and the writers steeped in doubt
to the bailiffs and their bills
to the child whose thoughts could kill
to the veteran who fights
all his demons late at night
to the bloody and unbowed
fanatics and their vows
all the taxes we don't want
to the idiot savant

there's a revolution in my heart

In The Heart

to the indier than thou
to the stadiums of crowds
to the vultures circling near
a new kingdom of fear
to the skinheads and the Sikhs
to the rich and the elite
to the serious dilettante
to the idiot savant

there's a revolution in my heart

This One's

i feel so far away from love
'cause i can never get enough
like a kid with his hand in the highest jar
and if i came back from the grave for a while
would you, could you make a dead man smile
i'd wear you on my arm like a brand new scar

my oh my oh my i've had a few
my oh my oh my this one's for you
my heart is on its sleeve
i need you to believe
that the dark times will fade

For You

so crack the shell of the hardest heart
slip inside when they're caught off guard
kill all the urgent lies that stain their blood
and if you think that you know everything
don't give me this chance to sing
i'm not a fool, a fool to lighten up

my oh my oh my i've had a few
my oh my oh my this one's for you
my heart is on it's sleeve
i need you to believe that
the dark times will fade

and i can't stop staring at you
and your expression looks a little confused
this little story will end so well

Siempre

cómo decir que me parte en mil
las esquinitas de mis huesos
que han caído los esquemas de mi vida
ahora que todo era perfecto
y algo más que eso
me sorbiste el seso y me decían del peso
de este cuerpecito mío
que se ha convertío en río
de este cuerpecito mío
que se ha convertío en río

Me

me cuesta abrir los ojos
y lo hago poco a poco
no sea que aún te encuentre cerca
me guardo tu recuerdo
como el mejor secreto
que dulce fue tenerte dentro

hay un trozo de luz
en esta oscuridad
para prestarme calma
el tiempo todo calma
la tempestad y la calma
el tiempo todo calma
la tempestad y la calma

Quedará

siempre me quedará
la voz suave del mar
volver a respirar
la lluvia que caerá
sobre este cuerpo y mojará
la flor que crece en mi
y volver a reír
y cada día un instante
volver a pensar en ti
en la voz suave del mar
en volver a respirar
la lluvia que caerá
sobre este cuerpo y mojará
la flor que crece en mi
y volver a reír
y cada día un instante
volver a pensar en ti

Ladies & Gentlemen...

PETER VON POEHL

Going To Where

i fell just before
i don't know why
just couldn't walk anymore
something in my way
now my steps are smaller
a little smaller
than before

so i will go to where
the tea trees turn to wine
i'll be just fine
it takes a believer
sometimes

The Tea Trees Are

so i will go
to where the tea trees are
climbing over question marks
need to straighten some out
take them off my shoulder
put some space between

so i will go to where
the tea trees turn to wine
i'll be just fine
it takes a believer
sometimes
