Nobody never stays round here You really need to make a change Even when you don’t have a choice Time flies for everybody, for real And we just sit down at the living room While our stomachs are growing up While our old problems are getting old Soon we will have bills to pay Soon our dreams, they will fly away Now we don’t care about the time But what are we gonna do with our kids? Even we’re just a bunch of teenagers Once deads, our lives will get bored And we just turned on the computer But this spring is not good for some ones Sometimes we just want to throw it all away Life never made much sense at all For people made of feelings and songs
2.
Midnight and there’s people outside Drinking, eating, thinking and perhaps kissing And I can’t talk to anyone I can’t see anyone My friends live in the other side of town My lovers never used to see me I just walk alone I just sing alone The world is so small, we all know each other Why being so sad when the streets are calling you? Take my hand, let’s get some good time And maybe time to relief Time to relief I just wanna see the people I love I just wanna be with people I love I just wanna play with who I love I just wanna sing about fraternal love

You Are Free 03:20
You are what they want you to be You see what they want you to see You’re free cause they want you to be free You mean it cause they want you to be mean Because you need to represent society You need to be nice to everyone You cannot disagree with society You cannot tell the truth to someone You think what they want you to think You feel what they want you to feel You live how they want you to live You dream cause they don’t want you to see what’s real You are free to say what you think You are free to show them how you feel This is what you want to play That is what they want to hear

Lately, I haven’t been taking this so much And all this way of living’s got me on my knees Cos my legs sometimes can’t take all this pain My mind is too blurry to carry this weight And all this blue is in my body All this package keeps my soul I wonder when I’ll take all this weight off my shoulder In fact, I never needed to take medication And lately I don’t know if my health is troubled Cause now I feed my honor with fake fat Now I don’t care if people think I’m a freak And all this blue is in my body All this package keeps my soul I wonder when I’ll take off this weight from my shoulder I wonder when I’ll take all this weight off my shoulder...

Manu 04:21
Manu, how do you feel? “Quite rejected, and sad, for real In these days, the sky gets gray for me In these days, I haven’t seen the sea” But please don’t cry tonight It’s never too late to fight Sometimes I’d rather die Than trying to give a smile Manu, I’ve got faith in you Sometimes you go wrong, but I know you’re true And I know, you really love her But I know, I’m not the one who will kill your sorrow

Green Eyes 02:46
Two years and you changed it all Cause things ain’t like they used to be And I’m not lying to anyone but myself I’m not lying to her, but to myself I thought her green eyes would save me I thought her green eyes would make me go well I thought her green eyes would rescue me They’re not here, it’s been a long time It’s hard to go on with this life When you just want to turn back the time And I’m being honest to myself Honest to her, and to myself I think her green eyes could have saved me I think her green eyes could make me do it well I think her green eyes can make me dream They are not here anyway.

I was a lost soul on those streets Now I feel like everyone is mean I tried to know if I was alive But I still don’t know the meaning of these lives All those shit bands on the radio With all that bad education Are still inside this drunk youth And it’s always raining in the city of the sun I was squared between the young folks Lost in a sad beach of illusions But I still want to know where is all that fun But there’s no answer for my right mind All the traffic at the bridge With all the boredom in me (in everyone) Are still inside what we’ve been And it’s always raining in the city of the sun All the parties that make you bankrupt With all the sick people in hospital halls This is the place where they spend holidays I’m glad it’s raining in the city of the sun And that’s where we’ll be forever (2x) This is our boring fate… (3x)

We don’t know how it feels We don’t know what it means, to have a heart We look for good time We cover souls with divine pantomimes But all looks fine when we enjoy sunshine One way to go one is not turning back But I want twice as hard Until we draw the line The line is fine I got down on my knees Now I’m begging, please! We are free tonight We smile like kids Well, some ones don’t know what it is, to be a man We’re through a crooked sun Where boys become men with guns Everything is true when you don’t have a clue about the world A gossip note is cool when you don’t see that you are getting old Cause things fall apart Like my manic and I I will desire Love is what we need A game we never win Love won’t belong to life We gotta roll the dice We’re gonna lose it all and we won’t mind We’re heroes for a day But we’re a bunch of babies Fools for a lifetime None of these lines make sense for a useless mind But that’s what it is, maybe these are our lives I still want twice as hard And I will draw the line All right in time I get down on my knees I’m begging, Lord, please Just let me be! Flooding our lives It makes me leave distress Minutes are distant And we are out of time Love is like a knife I’m running of it in my whole life

Did you ever feel the wind blowing all the conversation? So let’s throw our heads on that river To wash our dirty poetry That’s the greatest dream of the day Did you ever drink the rain? Cos nothing is so sublime We are going out of this storm To shock the population Some people never dream, every day So I turn strange corners With stupid drunken fathers And useless mothers Loving bottles like babies and dolls Faking all the cold faces Looking for spaces Let’s get lost in the city And waste our poetry Until pain sets us free Cause that was the feeling of Just a dream of the day
10.
Lay down, is there something in mind? Is it what you abide? Cause lately life has no time Dream on, such a feeling inside All right in line Maybe you’ve been lazy This is what you never thought And this is what you’re dreaming of Some rays light some ones’ lives But everybody’s waiting for the morning sun Hang on, you don’t look so fine Dress up and shine Habit won’t wait a lifetime Come in, sit down now Is the road to a bounce? Or is this misery? Maybe it’s a new vision line Learning a desire This is so crazy Working, this sweat of mine An everyday fight Baby, life is crazy
11.
September never makes you change Especially when you get used to it 16 years of failures and broken promises I still try to find a reason Locked in a new old room Trying to turn back the time in your mind You can’t predict the end You can’t fight against the time And she’s not here She will never be She’s never been here Cos you don’t know her You never knew her You should never know
