”Senses Working Overtime” (versuri/lyrics)
Melodie de: XTC

[Verse 1]
Hey, hey, the clouds are whey
There’s straw for the donkeys, and the innocents can all sleep safely
All sleep safely
My, my, sun is pie
There’s fodder for the cannons, and the guilty ones can all sleep safely
All sleep safely

[Pre-Chorus 1]
And all the world is football-shaped
It’s just for me to kick in space
And I can see, hear, smell, touch, taste

[Chorus 1]
And I’ve got
One, two, three, four, five
Senses working overtime
Trying to take this all in, I’ve got
One, two, three, four, five
Senses working overtime
Trying to taste the difference ‘tween a lemon and a lime
Pain and pleasure, and the church bells softly chime

[Verse 2]
Hey, hey, night fights day
There’s food for the thinkers, and the innocents can all live slowly
All live slowly
My, my, the sky will cry
Jewels for the thirsty, and the guilty ones can all die slowly
All die slowly

[Pre-Chorus 2]
And all the world is biscuit-shaped
It’s just for me to feed my face
And I can see, hear, smell, touch, taste

[Bridge]
And birds might fall from black skies (Woo, woo)
And bullies might give you black eyes (Woo, woo)
And buses might skid on black ice (Woo, woo)
But to me they’re very, very beautiful (England’s glory)
Beautiful (A striking beauty)

(Vocalising)

[Pre-Chorus 1]
And all the world is football-shaped
It’s just for me to kick in space
And I can see, hear, smell, touch, taste
[Chorus 2]
And I’ve got one, two, three, four, five
Senses working overtime
Trying to take this all in, I’ve got
One, two, three, four, five
Senses working overtime
Trying to tell the difference ‘tween the goods and crime
Turds and treasure, and it’s

[Chorus 1]
One, two, three, four, five
Senses working overtime
Trying to take this all in, I’ve got
One, two, three, four, five
Senses working overtime
Trying to taste the difference ‘tween a lemon and a lime
Pain and pleasure, and the church bells softly chime

”4th of July” (versuri/lyrics)
Melodie de: X

She’s waitin’ for me
when I get home from work
oh, but things ain’t just the same
She turns out the light
and cries in the dark
won’t answer when I call her name
On the stairs I smoke a
cigarette alone
Mexican kids are shootin’
fireworks below
Hey baby, it’s the Fourth of July
Hey baby, it’s the Fourth of July
She gives me her cheek
when I want her lips
but I don’t have the strength to go
On the lost side of town
in a dark apartment
we gave up trying so long ago
On the stairs I smoke a
cigarette alone
Mexican kids are shootin’
fireworks below
Hey baby, it’s the Fourth of July
Hey baby, it’s the Fourth of July
What ever happened I
apologize
so dry your tears and baby
walk outside, it’s the Fourth of July
On the stairs I smoke a
cigarette alone
Mexican kids are shootin’
fireworks below
Hey baby, it’s the Fourth of July
Hey baby, Baby take a walk outside

Young Guns – ”Towers (On My Way)”

Young Guns

”Towers (On My Way)” (versuri/lyrics)
Melodie de: Young Guns

Hello again, my dear old friend
Is it that time again? is this the end?
The beat goes on and on, with such sweet grace
But I’m just out of time, I’m out of place
I found rebellion in self destruction
I need to find a place to lay my head
I walk then I crawl, I’m thankful to be moving at all
Considering all the places, I’ve been on the way
(I’ve been on the way)
Some people build towers, I just dig holes
On my way down again,
On my way down
Hey
On my back in the gutter and I’ve seen this place before,
How do you make it look so easy when the wolves are at the door?
(Wolves are at the door)
Contrition is, a bed fellow of mine, in my defense
I’m wasted the beat goes on and on and on
I couldn’t stop it even if I tried
I found rebellion in self destruction
I need to find a place to lay my head
I walk then I crawl, I’m thankful to be moving at all
Considering all the places, I’ve been on the way
(I’ve been on the way)
Some people build towers, I just dig holes
On my way down again,
On my way down,
On my way back down,
I walk then I crawl, I’m thankful to be moving at all
Considering all the places, I’ve been on the way
(I’ve been on the way)
I walk then I crawl, I’m thankful to be moving at all
Considering all the places, I’ve been on the way

Young Guns – ”Mad World”

Young Guns

sept. 072025

”Mad World” (versuri/lyrics)
Melodie de: Young Guns

It’s a mad, mad, mad, mad world
Feel the smoke in the air
There’s a flash of lightning and despair
But no one cares
Broken glass
Turned to sand
Every road we built to promise lands
They lead nowhere
(Ashes to ashes, dust to dust)
(When you on your own, who do you trust?)
Trust your enemies
Worship the wake
We’ll be okay
Shoot before you think
Take everything
It’s a mad, mad, mad, mad world
It’s a dream, it’s a lie
It’s a matter of fact
No more questions allowed
No more pushing back
Double think, If you like, if it helps you survive
Theres no doubt in our minds til we open our eyes
(Til we get, when there’s so much fear in the air)
We feel it, we breath it everywhere
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
When your on your own, who do you trust?
Trust your enemies
Worship the wake
We’ll be okay
Shoot before you think
Take everything
It’s a mad, mad, mad, mad world
(World, world, world, world)
(World, world, world, world)
(Yeah)
Trust your enemies
Worship the wake
We’ll be okay
Shoot before you think
Take everything
Trust your enemies
Worship the wake
We’ll be okay
Shoot before you think
Take everything
It’s a mad, mad, mad, mad world

Young Guns – ”Dearly Departed”

Young Guns

„Dearly Departed” (versuri/lyrics)
Melodie de: Young Guns

Oh dust and bones
That I have left behind
Are monuments to those I used to know
At least I know where I am on my own

I wanna be the last thing that you see
Be my dearly departed
Back to when you were the only thing
I need
Before I gave up, my dearly departed
Gave up, my dearly departed

Your sticks and stones, are all that I’ve ever known
I’m bruised but I’m not broken and I know
At least I know where I am on my own
I wanna be the last thing that you see
Be my dearly departed
Back to when you were the only thing
I need
Before I gave up, my dearly departed
Gave up, my dearly departed

None of the people who tried to could make me feel this way
I’ll gladly do my time
I found you, unbound you, and tried to explain the only way,
That I knew how to say

I wanna be the last thing that you see
Be my dearly departed
Back to when you were the only thing I need
I wanna be the last thing that you see
My dearly departed
I wanna be the last thing that you see
My dearly departed
I wanna be the last thing that you see
My dearly departed
I wanna be the last thing that you see
My dearly departed

Melodie de: Yaki-Da

Just a Dream
I’m just a dream

Fade away now. Fade away now

I’m just a drean go back to where cam from
When there’s a problem you go there
Up to the highlands doing what you don’t dare
So fa fade away and leave me here

[Chorus]
Fade away now. Fade away now
I’m just a dream
Oh oh
I’m just a dream

Would you belive in changing places
I could be you for just one day
So I’ll see. How does the World turn out from your side
It is hard living in between

[Chorus]

Are you a knight hunting for treasures
Take me along I’ll be your queen
Let me see. Who is the person on my sofa
Are you yellow or brave today

Life is a beautiful thing I know that
But you don’t know what I’m going through, No.
You never question the things you don’t see
Cause your living in a dreamworld of your own

”Don’t Stop The Music” (versuri/lyrics)
Melodie de: Yarbrough & Peoples

Don’t you stop it, don’t you stop, stop the music
Don’t you know you’ve got me mesmerized
With the beat I always fantasize
Don’t stop the music ‘cause it tends to soothe
I can tell you want to groove
Don’t you stop it, don’t you stop, stop the music
The beat keep goin’ ‘round and ‘round (don’t you stop it, don’t you stop)
Turns me upside down (don’t stop the music)
I just wanna rock you (all, all night long)
All night long (to my love song, yeah, yeah, yeah!)
I just wanna rock you (just wanna rock you)
All night long (yeah!)
I got a love song (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!)
Everything we do is right on time
The beat’s so smooth it blows my mind
Don’t stop the music, it’s so satisfying
It feels so good to me, there is no denying
Just because it’s two o’clock
Don’t stop the music
Don’t you feel like dancing and prancing?
Don’t stop the music
Don’t you stop it, don’t you stop, stop the music
You don’t really wanna stop, no
You don’t really wanna stop, uh-uh
You don’t really wanna stop, no
You don’t really wanna stop
You’ve got me moving, you’ve got me grooving
Don’t stop the music
Don’t you stop it, don’t you stop, stop the music
(I just wanna rock you) I just wanna rock you (all night long)
All night long (to my love song), oh-oh-oh-oh
(I just wanna rock you) I just wanna rock you (all night long)
All night long, hey (to my love song, love song, love song, love song, love song)
I can tell you wanna boogie
I can tell you wanna boogie
Don’t you stop it, don’t you stop, stop the music (you don’t really wanna stop, no)
You don’t really wanna stop, uh-uh
Just because it’s two o’clock, don’t mean we have to stop
Just because it’s two o’clock, don’t mean we have to stop

Yazz – ”Don’t go”

„Don’t Go” (versuri/lyrics)
Melodie de: Yazz

Came in from the city
Walked into the door
I turned around when I heard
The sound of footsteps on the floor
Love just like addiction
Now I’m hooked on you
I need some time to get it right
Your love’s gonna see me through

Can’t stop now, don’t you know?
I ain’t never gonna let you go
Don’t go

Oh, baby, make your mind up
Give me what you got
Fix me with your lovin’
Shut the door and turn the lock
Hey, go get the doctor
Doctor came too late
Another night, I feel all right
My love for you can’t wait

Can’t stop now, don’t you know?
I ain’t never gonna let you go
Don’t go

Came in from the city
Walked into the door
I turned around when I heard
The sound of footsteps on the floor
Said he was a killer
Now I know it’s true
I’m dead when you walk out the door
Hey, babe, I’m hooked on you

Can’t stop now, don’t you know?
I ain’t never gonna let you go
Don’t go

Don’t go
Don’t go
Don’t go
Don’t go

”Stand Up for Your Love Rights” (versuri/lyrics)
Melodie de: Yazz

Stand up for your love rights
Stand up for your love rights
Do it, do it, do it, do it
Now don’t be afraid
Don’t let things stand in your way
Now you’ve reached a time in your life
When you just can’t take no more
Are you ready to leave
‘Cos you can no longer breathe
You can’t hide or disguise
What it is that you want to change
Don’t hold back
Make up your mind
Don’t hold back
Stand up for your love rights
And don’t you feel ashamed
Stand up for your love rights
Do it, do it, do it, do it
Now don’t take what you don’t want
Just take what you need
It’s your right, don’t be frightened to fight it
Take your time to choose
Yeah, when you’re ready to leave
Make up your mind and believe
Don’t you run from the truth
It’s no use, ‘cos it’s all you’ll need
Don’t hold back
Make up your mind
Don’t hold back
Stand up for your love rights and enjoy it
Stand up for your love rights
Do it, do it, do it, do it

”Bones” (versuri/lyrics)
Melodie de: Young Guns (UK)

[Verse 1]
Down under the night sky I lay and wait
Praying to whoever will listen to me
I’d fashioned my own cross, been crushed by its weight
There’s no stronger message than dirt in your face

[Chorus]
I’ve seen down the end of the road, I deal in a different story
Oh, I will never let go again
I feel it in my bones (Bones), bones (Bones)
I feel it in my bones (Bones), bones (Bones)
I’ll do this on my own, own, own, own
Bones, bones, oh-oh

[Verse 2]
They say the spirit’s willing, but the flesh is always weak
I found everything I needed right beneath my skin, oh

[Bridge]
We’re all architects of our own private hell
No one can hurt us like we’ve hurt ourselves

[Chorus]
I’ve seen down the end of the road, I deal in a different story
Oh, I will never let go again
I feel it in my bones (Bones), bones (Bones)
I feel it in my bones (Bones), bones (Bones)
I know I’m not alone, bones, bones, bones
Bones, bones, bones

Depeche Mode

sept. 052025

”Jezebel” (versuri/lyrics)
Melodie de: Depeche Mode

They call you Jezebel
Whenever we walk in
You’re going straight to Hell
For wanted acts of sin, they say
And that I’ll have to pay
But I need you just this way
They call you Jezebel
For what you like to wear
You’re morally unwell
They say you’ll never care for me
But what they fail to see is that your games are the key
Open their eyes to the beauty
Open their hearts to the fun
Open their minds to the idea that you don’t own someone
They call you Jezebel
Whenever men walk by
They say that they can tell
The longing in your eyes is real
And how you really feel
But they can’t see your appeal
Jezebel
