DREAMS ARE TEN A PENNY - KINKADE When we were children We played in your backyard Then we pretended Whenever times were hard We built a house up in a tree And dreamed of how our life would be But now the tree has died. So I've got to say to you Jenny, Jenny dreams are ten a penny Leave them in the lost and found Jenny, Jenny dreams are ten a penny Get your feet back on the ground Owowowow. You dreamed of heroes Riding across the sea In shining armour But all you had was me While all the time you never knew All I could do was dream of you And still I do today. So I've got to say to you Jenny, Jenny dreams are ten a penny Leave them in the lost and found Jenny, Jenny dreams are ten a penny Get your feet back on the ground Owowowow.

EIN BETT IM KORNFELD - JRGEN DREWS Der Sommerabend ber blhendem Land, schon seit Mittag stand ich am Straenrand, bei jedem Wagen der vorberfuhr, hob ich dem Daumen. Auf einem Fahrrad kam da ein Mdchen her, und sie sagte, ich bedaure dich sehr, doch ich lachte und sprach, ich brauch' keine weichen Daunen. Ein Bett im Kornfeld, das ist immer frei, denn es ist Sommer und was ist schon dabei, die Grillen singen und es duftet nach Heu, wenn ich trume. Ein Bett im Kornfeld, zwischen Blumen und Stroh und die Sterne leuchten mir sowieso, ein Bett im Kornfeld mach' ich mir irgendwo, ganz alleine. Etwas spter lag ihr Fahrrad im Gras, und so kam es, da sie die Zeit verga, mit der Gitarre hab' ich ihr erzhlt von meinem Leben. Auf einmal rief sie, es ist hchste Zeit, schon ist es dunkel und mein Weg ist noch weit, doch ich lachte und sprach, ich hab' dir noch viel zu geben. Ein Bett im Kornfeld, das ist immer frei, denn es ist Sommer und was ist schon dabei, die Grillen singen und es duftet nach Heu wenn wir trumen.

I hope the day Will never come That I can't awake To the sound of drum Never let me miss Carnival The Calypso songs play a soft recall.

SAVE ME - CLOUD Save me Take me away To the moonlight The people around me Don't feel right What are we doing? Save me Take me away From the action For you are the only attraction Take me away From here. The party's on And one by one The cars arrived And the people come And I wonder If there will be anybody Here alone? An ordinary guy Tries to catch my eye Should I smile or Should I sigh? Then you walked through the door And I saw that you were all on your own. Save me Take me away to the moonlight The people around me Don't feel right What are we doing here? Come on Save me Let's get away from the action For you are the only attraction Take me away from here. We slipped away Without a single word No one saw and no one heard 'Cause we both agreed That it just wasn't worth it to stay. I went to cold and hot Should I go or not? You grabbed my hand And I couldn't stop And I laughed and you smiled As we left and drove away. Save me Take me away to the moonlight The people around me Don't feel right What are we doing here? Come on Save me Let's get away from the action For you are the only attraction Take me away from here. Starlit sky Moon on high Sure feels good to me And in my bones I've always known This is how it's meant to be. Save me Take me away to the moonlight The people around me Don't feel right What are we doing here? Save me Let's get away from the action For you are the only attraction Take me away from here. Save me Take me away to the moonlight The people around me Don't feel right What are we doing here? Save me Let's get away from the action For you are the only attraction Take me away from here. 12. UND ES WAR SOMMER - PETER MAFFAY Es war ein schner Tag, der letzte im August, die Sonne brannte so, als htte sie es gewut, die Luft war wirrend hei und um allein zu sein, sagte ich den andern, ich hab' heut' keine Zeit. Da traf ich sie und sah in ihre Augen und irgendwie packt mich das Gefhl, als winkte sie mir zu und schien zu sagen, komm setz' dich zu mir. Ich war sechzehn und sie 31, und ber Liebe wute ich nicht viel. Sie wute alles und sie lie mich spren, ich war kein Kind mehr und es war Sommer. Sie gab sich so, als sei ich berhaupt nicht da und um die Schultern trug sie nur ihr langes Haar, ich war verlegen und ich wute nicht wohin mit meinem Blick, der wie gefesselt an ihr hing. Ich kann verstehen, hrte ich sie sagen, nur weil du jung bist, tust du nicht was fhlst, doch bleib bei mir bis die Sonne rot wird, dann wirst du sehen. Wir gingen beide hinunter an den Strand, und der Junge nahm schchtern ihre Hand, doch als ein Mann sah ich die Sonne aufgeh'n, und es war Sommer. Es war Sommer. Es war Sommer, das erste Mal im Leben, es war Sommer, der allererste Mal, und als ein Mann sah ich die Sonne aufgeh'n, und es war Sommer... 13.
