Do I dare
Disturb the universe?
In a minute there is time
For decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse.
T.S. Eliot – The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock
Do I dare
Disturb the universe?
In a minute there is time
For decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse.
T.S. Eliot – The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock
see I’m on my way / to save the day / like I always do
I think you’ll find / we are much alike / you could be me one day
but you must adjust / we need to discuss / your attitude
I’ll always say / if it’s okay / to do this or that
I’m on the phone / if you feel alone / 24/7
but don’t run around / with your frown / and tell what you feel
(written by Julius Späte & Franco Fichtner)
now, you’ve heard it all
still you’re standing tall
as if you don’t mind
never ever felt this way before
with you my wildest dreams come true
and then why aren’t we holding our hands?
so it plays out like it should
and so we waited like you said we would
now, you won’t say a word
still you’re giving up
as if you don’t care
just remember all those tunes
especially the cheesy ones
we’d play over and over again
please turn around and say you can
remember things you’ve left undone
good times come and go without
giving notice, sending doubts
we all know the pain
we’ve been through the strain
senselessly helpless, a dead end
hitting a brickwall, all hopes bent
the best memories still remain
you wish for more of the same
we’re not to extend
we have to amend
a piece of work
I think you are
delicate words
they’ll go too far
you’re not sure if
you lost your way
hear me out
I said it’s okay
it’s later than you think
and it’s so hard to say
still it’s something good, oh
there are things your father never told you
and how could he have known
of all the deep implications
fused in our very cores
he would have told you not to worry
because the rules can be learnt
and while you work on your posture
you’ll become that “better man”
the hardest game to play
the hardest game
and it can go
the hardest game to play
the hardest game
and it can go your way
don’t be loud
as part of the crowd
it’s not your play
mr. nice guy
it’s not the time
to be yourself
sit up straight
you can’t be late
money’s the thing
money’s your thing
we’d love to stay in school forever
while all the training there won’t matter
’cause there’s a world outside for worse or better
na, na, na, na, na…
they won’t hear
a thing you say
you don’t speak up
mr. good guy
thank you again
and off they go
what’s the use and
where’s your gain?
