Sucker For Fairytales Once upon a time my heart got broken badly but instead of blaming her, I did blame love Like been cast a spell, no leprechaun, no wishing well, no fairy and no dust to bring me luck You will never catch a rainbow, when you're looking for the gold Never find a happy end, if you don't believe what's told Love is just no fairytale, or we are just too old But I am just a sucker, I am just a sucker, baby Aren't we all just suckers for fairytales Once upon a time my heart seemed to surrender as I kissed this girl and tried to wake her up Put in effort, keep on yearning, as the spinning-wheel kept turning But I never got on top Never look into the future, when you look into her eyes Never look into a mirror, when its telling only lies Don't eat fruit you get from strangers, what you give is what you get I can only say that I'm just a sucker, baby Aren't we all just suckers for fairytales Oh my god, they put a spell on you Can't get you out of my mind Oh my god they put a spell on you Kiss me now and hold me; Once upon a time I'm a sucker for fairytales; Once upon a time I'm a sucker for fairytales; Once upon a time I'm a sucker for fairytales; Once upon a time Once upon a time my reason said surrender but instead I did march of and fell in love I'm no knight in shining armor, she could only do me harm Least I could expect it to get rough You must clim to highest tower, if you want to get real high You must fight the biggest dragon, and now wish you don't get fried Don't get the “happily ever after”, when the storyteller fails But I am just a sucker, I am just a sucker baby Aren't we all just suckers? Don't call me a sucker Well, I am just a sucker for fairytales

The End of Laissez-Faire It's the end of laissez-faire, again We've come upon the same mistakes, but hey, we are just men It wasn't greed, just speculation the Greater Fool, extrapolation Bathing in the bubbles of our wealth It's the end laissez-faire, again No point in pointing fingers, we do the best we can In fact for years we did our best in making interest More interesting we took a little chance May I suggest an aneurysm of all capitalism It's like a surgeon has to cut In simply everything we've got I think it's time we stop injections You can't undo with right intentions Our state of anaesthesia has slipt into amnesia, the whole of all eurasia, injected to dysplasia, I'm suffering aphasia, now get me to fantasia It's the end of laissez-faire, again!? It's the end of joy de vivre, but still je ne regret rien In fact I don't regret a single dime I've got a gut feeling my stocks are going to climb So if you want to join me, get in line And let's dive into the bubbles, dive into the bubbles let's dive into the bubbles of our wealth

The Crash 02:15
The Crash Little Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall for some time he enjoyed that sight Little Humpty Dumpty didn't worry at all Would he'd fall, he'd be alright But it's a crash, did Humpty fall? It's a crash, he had a fall And no King's horses, no King's men couldn't help Humpty at all Oh, the crash was heavy and the ground so hard He just couldn't understand He never took a warning, only took the chance Now he head-first hit the sand Little Mrs Dumpty shed a couple of tears then she took care of the mess She had always warned him “What goes up must come down, Climb too high, ensure your crash” Well, it's a crash, he had a fall It's crash, he reached the floor And no King's horses, no King's men couldn't help him anymore

Way To Go 03:54
Way to go There's a girl in my bed, and I'm filled with regret 'cos this is not supposed to be There's a smile on her face and I'm filled with disgrace of myself, what have I done I don't know which way to go I don't know which page to turn I cannot believe I did this I don't know which way to go I don't know which page to turn This cannot be true See this girl, still undressed, and my life seems such a mess but I can't look any other way As she lays in our sheets and I'm thinking of my deeds I guess there's nothing left and nothing left to say I don't know..... Tell me love are you still there for me This ain't the first time that I fell Tell me love is there still hope for me This ain't the first time that I fell Tell me now, will you forgive me Tell me now I still can see Tell me now, then I am sorry Tell me now or set me free

Love You Anyway I want to love you Every day But you make it so hard to do When you say we are through I'm such a fool I've said I'm sorry But you seem to regret All we had But don't take it out on me There's nothing wrong you see Don't call me crazy, well I might just be crazy for you Don't leave me out in the rain when I'm shouting your name I'm not crazy, well I might just be crazy for you Don't say you didn't feel all we had, it was real Don't say you never felt loved Cos I've got some news for you You might have said we are through I will love you anyway I, I'll keep on dreaming But you, you were woken up And messed me up But don't take it out..... Don't leave me out....

Wasted Love 03:48
Wasted Love Let me tell you about a girl that I once really loved She gave me everything at time I thought that I was really dreaming of But another sunny day I saw her with another guy I knew all the things she said they must have been just lies She said: I'm sorry for your pain but things will never be the same again I swear I really loved you, Love, but now I'm falling for another man Is love just a funny feeling, not easy to resist And true love a different story, it might not even exist But sometimes I think of you and I hope you'll do so too Because I just can't bear the thought of wasted love Now here's the story of another woman who took possession of my dreams She said it might not feel like love but it just isn't always what it seems Let's not wast our time together, it might be al we've got I dare not admit it, oh but you can't deny it's not She said: Do you truly understand that everything we felt was meant to be Are singing songs of love, or are you singing in a different key? Oh love's such a funny feeling, not meant to be or to be understood And this love no different story, but it felt real and it felt so good So sometimes I think of you and I hope you'll do so too 'cause I just can't bear the thought of wasted love

Past Perfect 04:05
Past Perfect You broke my heart, my head while you're stabbing my back You stole my love, insane and now you handcuff my brain You broke my heart, my soul when you ruined it all You took my pride in ease left me down on my knees Can't you see that I don't want to hurt you But I hate to hurt myself a little more I never said that you and me were trouble But whatever's been the past it's history You broke my... Well I don't want to live my life the wrong way But I might not want to live your life at all Can't you see I try to do what seems to be for me and you inavoidable You broke my... Instrumental You broke my... You broke my...

She Can't Breathe When she's down and low And she tells you so There is nothing in her world, except for emptyness and hurt Please, do comfort her When she's down and out Wants to scream and shout It may not seem to make much sense, but what she needs is just a friend Please, do comfort her Everything is not what matters most my love I know, it's true I would take your place, just if I could my love I do love you But if you hold too tight she can't breathe When her love seems gone And just on and on Every single night the less you love the more the fight please, do comfort her When she's almost lost And at every cost it cannot be the easy way, the things she does, the words you say please, do comfort her Everything is not what matters most my love I know, it's true I will take the fall instead of you, my love I do love you But if you hold too tight she can't breathe She can't breathe

Don't Let Go 04:03
Don't Let Go What goes up must come down The dangers of a little learning Now you can't always be around and prevent the leaves from turning Take a look outside where grass is growing and the wind is blowing in your face Life is not without tears, you told me after I had fallen down Face the facts, face your fears On your feet, or just keep crawling Take a look outside where the sun is hiding don't you feel like riding off No, don't let go You won't let go Please don't let go And if you do please let me know, cause I'm so scared I'd might fall down What goes around comes around I guess I never saw it coming Hold me tight, let me go Learn to walk and then start running Take a look outside where the girls are playing Go ahead, I'm right behind No, don't let go you said you'd never let me You won't let go you said you'd never let me Please don't let go you said you'd never let me go And if you do please let me know - I'll let know - cause I'm so scared I'd might fall down No, don't let go you said you'd never let me You won't let go you said you'd never let me Please don't let, please don't let, please don't let go And if you do please let me know, Please let me know cause I'm still scared I'd might fall down

Anymore 04:49
Anymore She looked into the mirror but couldn't see herself Her eyes looking back, thought what the hack this is not me Painting the past on a loosening canvas Behind a mask day by day, then she said I don't want to do it No, I don't want to do it I don't want to do it anymore After forty days and forty nights She washed away, clean all this madness Now is nature playing this trick on us Or are we going down in blindnes Say: I don't want to do it No, I don't want to do it I don't want to do it anymore Free another, holy water, let her know you saw her beauty before she puts that mask on Free all the pretty girls Free all the pretty girls Free all the pretty girls 'Cos I don't want to do it No, I don't want to do it I don't want to do it anymore

Uncertainly 04:13
Uncertainly Say you'd walk through a town and you could go anyway you'd like Would you stay, would you go, would you take a hike I wouldn't know where to look, where to find the road you didn't take or took It's out of sight and out of mind What is the point you're showing? Where is the logic going? Then what the hell we're doing? There's no way of knowing where we came and where the hell we go It's suggested that at rest, when asserted not a single force, things will stay, or on their way, for better or for worse But when you know where it's at you might just as easily forget where it's been once you've seen it's out of sight What is the point you're showing? (there is no way of knowing) Where is the logic going? (there is no way of knowing) Then what the hell we're doing? (there is no way of knowing) There's no way of knowing where we came from and where the hell we go Now it's said that our universe expands like apple pie But that might sound off topic in this song I just like to state we'll never know exactly where we are Even Einstein, being right, thought he was wrong What is the point you're showing? (there is no way of knowing) Where is the logic going? (there is no way of knowing) Then what the hell we're doing? (there is no way of knowing) There's no way of knowing where we came from and where the hell we go
