Now Or Forever
04:48

pacing slowly, trying to leave no truthful traces behind
I bend my neck to avoid their eyes that tell me: girl, you’re not that kind.
the world’s weight upon one little girl’s shoulders, oh but hey, how much can one girl take?
I hold my breath to illuminate the priest saying: if any man knows a reason why these two should not be married, may he speak now or forever hold his peace.
but of course there is no one, of course there is no one to save me
and of course no one speaks up, of course no one speaks up for me
and everyone holds their peace
oh the aisle seems long, oh so long, I wonder how many feet have walked this way
I smile ‘cause smiling has always done the job, just like my hands that touch you and now fold to pray
for better or for worse we seal the curse, two mouths that speak and a heart that skips a beat
a cold bit of silver over my finger and a hot bit of tears over the world!
I do what needs to be done, I do what needs to be done today
but I hope I will wake up, yes I hope I will wake up some day
and hear someone speak up for me

du bringst mir Blumen mit von deiner Lieblingssorte
ich sag: dankeschön, ist lieb von dir
es applaudiert in dir
du schaust mich an und siehst mich nicht
ich hör dir zu doch höre nichts
ich bin kirschblütentaub
du hüllst mich ein in dich
kirschblütentaub
hoch oben im Kokon für dich
pro Tag ein Fest
ein Flügelschlag pro Nacht
blindlings und –rechts mach ich mich anschmiegsam
hab noch nie geschlafen
ich singe und tanze und dreh mich für dich
doch mich dabei nur im Kreis
ich bin..

Don't Know
06:08
|
|||
|
I don’t know what to do, don’t know what to say
I don’t know what I want don’t know what to pray for
I don’t know what to look at or where to turn to
I don’t know where we come from or where we go
the only thing I know is I adore you
the only thing I care for right now is peace
here we go again
staring at the table…
here we go again
with promises and maybes…
if we could only find
the exit signs
and disembark
if we could only be
finally free
no more tears and shards

Perfect Combination
04:38
|
|||
|
I make a statement
and you look at me in disbelieve
– what, did I say something wrong?
you go: "oh my god,
tell me are you me?
you always say what I think!
we are soul mates made from the same soul
must have met in a former life
girl, you and I are the perfect combination
because you’re a witch, and I am a weirdo,
seems like we were born to be together
I think I’m gonna marry you in two or three years“
– and I heard your spoken words
I heard them oh so loud
but promises like this should better not be allowed
‘cause in the freaking end everything turns out differently
'cause some things
are not meant to be
and among those things
is you being with me
some things
are not to come true
and among those things
is me being with you

Statue You
05:34
|
|||
|
you’re staring at the stage
spreading a sense of concentration
and I am jumping around you in circles
trying to somehow catch your attention
but you don’t do the slightest move
and I won't get by with just watching you
then suddenly you turn to me
oh god, I think you’re the most beautiful person I've ever seen
I know it sound pathetic, way to poetic, but I cannot help it – that is just the way I feel
and then you do this thing with your lips, you make me tip and make me say: come home with me!
I fell in love with your statue you!
late night car ride, your hand making friends with my thigh
rising to the 18th floor where you would take me high
is this some kind of light I see or just an ordinary sunrise
I never wanna go to sleep, never wanna close my eyes
but who are you, yeah who are you?
I really try to see through to you
I fell in love...

Lucky One
04:45
|

You’re the lucky one who made it
always right on time
You’re the lying one who said that
one day he’d be mine
I’m the stupid one to believe you
and save you from your tears
It’s not like you have ever cried before
it's just what most men fear
Over and over I tell myself
this has to come to an end
But then again I just can’t help it
I need you as my special friend
You say that you’re glad I’m here and
that you couldn’t do without
It’s not like we have met before but still
You leave no doubt
- but the difference is:
I…
I love you
I unfortunately do!
Promises are always vague and
you put nothing major at stake
Nevertheless I back you up
you're the last one I’d ever forsake
Your bones are soft, your skin is rough
you transparently smile at me
I’m not sure, I'm just not sure
of what I sense and see
Meet me, meet me, come to the surface
prove that you exist
I’m so goddamn afraid there’s nothing to be proven
but still I cannott resist
To create more and more and more of you
on the easel in my mind
I set you up as king, as god, as the
best of all mankind
- but the difference is:
I…
I love you
I unfortunately do!

Up'n'Old (la pascalesse)

these children playing in the yard with me
their light behaving makes me see
what I will have to let go of when I grow old
that is why I’m never gonna do what I’m told!
my parents tell me: dress up nicely
like that people will take you seriously
but I like my slacks way too much
that’s why I’m always gonna be wearing such!
my teachers always pointed out the good in me
they said: girl you could really be
something if you didn't talk constantly
but hey, chatting is exactly what makes me me!
I know I drive the old folks mad when I
am on the pavement with my bike –
but common, I’m not gonna hurt anyone
mais le trottoir is just way more fun!
I’m never gonna grow up and old
never gonna do what I’m told
never ever gonna say no thing that I don’t really mean!
I’m never gonna grow up and old
never gonna do what I’m told
I will never hush, I will never hold back of what I’ve got to say!
never gonna grow up and old
what I’m told..
I will never say no thing that I don’t really mean!
„Pascale, tu es vraiment une superbe fille,
mais il faut que tu fasse quelque chose avec ta vie“
Merci beaucoup pour cet information
Mais quesque vous voulez de moi? Une transformation?
I don’t know what it is, I just don’t like to lie
instead I blurt everything out quite loud
my friend calls it „la maladresse”
mais moi je l’appelle simplement la „Pascalesse“
I remember my granddad being so happy when I used to play the violin, on his birthday or on Christmas or maybe even in his dreams
and believe me it’s not like I ain’t diggin’ that thing –
I mean, it’s a real nice violin
but my family was maybe hoping it could be something for the future,
like, I could become a violin tutor
with a job and a steady income
so that my lifestyle wouldn’t cause them insomnia
but one thing has never been said out loud
maybe today is the day where I tell the crowd:
why would I wanna study classical, if instead I can go shoobidoobidee….
I’m never gonna grow up and old...
