ALL
I KNOW
- paroles et musique Anneli Drecker
I wasn't ready for this
You left me here on my own
So, this is where I stand
I wasn't ready for this
The bright days all suddenly
turned dark
Walking here all by myself
Wondering what went wrong
Was it what I said or didn't say ?
How did I get in this mess
In being so alone
All I know is that you
disappeared
I wasn't ready for
this
You left me here on my own
I wasn't ready for this
To house a cold, eclipsing heart
Ooh, a cold heart
Walking here all by myself
Wondering what went wrong
That I couldn't know of
Didn't see
All those dreams now nullified
Why did they stop to glow ?
All I know is that you
disappeared
A cold heart... a cold heart
Everywhere I turn and go
I see the ghost of you
Memories haunt my ever troubled
mind
How I wish for this to end
Find peace and start anew...
All I know is that you
disappeared...
SEXY
LOVE -
paroles et musique Anneli Drecker
I know your kind, I know your score
One foot in sea and one on shore
I
see you now, I feel you now
And I just want you more and more
Must be
love
Sexy love
Oh, diorific plastic shine
Oh, won't you kiss these lips
of mine ?
I see you now, I feel you now
Oh, honey, won't you be so kind
Must be love
Sexy love
Must be... love
Sexy... love
All this lifetime
What's it for
If not for us to
share anymore ?
All this lifetime
What's it for
If not for us to share anymore ?
All this lifetime
What's it for
If not for us to share anymore ?
All this lifetime
What's it for
If not for us to share anymore ?
Anymore
Must be love
Sexy love
FIRE
ALARM - paroles et
musique Anneli Drecker
I've been ignoring you
Oh, why
Looking the other way as you pass me by
I've been exploring truth
Sometime
Finding out what went wrong
Why you
made me cry
But if this fire-alarm should start
I'm gonna run to you
We'll find the exit, climb the stairs
Into the sky so blue
And if this
building now should fall
I will be crushed with you
It's just a reflex
after all
But I wanna be with you
I've been ignoring you
Oh, why
Looking the other way
As you pass me by
I've been avoiding you
Oh, why
Everything's amber-lit
Since we said goodbye
But, if this fire-alarm
should start
I'm gonna run to you
We'll find the exit, climb the stairs
Into the sky so blue
And if this building now should fall
I will be
crushed next to you
In case you should forget to ask : I'm still in love
with you,
Aaahhh!!!!!
WHO
ON EARTH - paroles
et musique Anneli Drecker
Far away, the sky is turning
grey
Although the sun is shining above right here
No, I won't let the fish eat
you...
and of course I know it
wouldn't do !
But you're too little to
understand that
Say, who on earth can guide us
Help us stear this boat on
shore ?
The stream might drag us under
Soon we'll hit the waterfall
Say, who on earth can save us
From the thunder in our hearts ?
I swear to you, no matter what
They won't tear us apart
Far away, there is a clear new
day...
but it's gonna rain first in
our heads
Let's take the car down on the
highway
And park it down by the bay
Dip our toes into the water
Say, who on earth can guide us
Through these misty, curving
roads
And lay their hands upon our
shoulders
Point out where to go ?
Say, who on earth can save us
From the thunder in our hearts ?
I swear to you, no matter what
We'll never be apart !
Who eavesdropped behind my
chandeliers...
The trolls have all popped out
Everything is here
Easy-peasy lemon time
Tout va bien chérie
I'm a concubine, I'm a concubine

basée
sur le poême "A song" de Abai Kunanbayev, ajout de mots par
Anneli Drecker, musique Anneli Drecker
Oh, my heart
Why did we part ?
Life has lost it's bloom
I am sunk in gloom
I've been such a fool
I've been oh, so cruel
Sleep has gone
Grief has made me wan
I'm stopped from woe
And my head hangs low
How can I go on ?
I am woebegone
Oh, this hurt
Longing
Hoping you'll send word
All my thoughts are blurred
Broken is my heart
Oh, why did we part ?
Hiding when I'm not dreaming
Hiding when I'm not dreaming
TUNDRA
(MANAIGA) - Paroles Lawra
Somby et Anneli Drecker, Musique Anneli Drecker
Two people of
youth were flying
Two people with futures were competing
Over the great white tundra
They got carried away
Blinded by speedbrush
Captured by the forces
Of the magic trollsled
Over the great tundra
To the tundra
On the tundra
They went

IT'S
ALL
HERE - Paroles et
musique Anneli Drecker
If only I could open up my
heart
You would be the first to enter
Together we could reach for another day
Seek possibilities
The next thing then w'ell have to do
Is to move out
Out of reach and out of center
So no one in the world can disturb the feeling
Of being you and me
It's all here in my heart
It's all here in my dreams
All here in my heart
I could show you what you got
I could show you what you need
It's all here in my, all here in my heart
I've had to take some time all to myself
To restore and to re-enter
Been trying to break out
But I am still too scared
Of being hurt again
My friends keep telling me I must try to let go
But who are you to tell me to do such a thing
When you know that all I want
Is to have him here with me
It's all here in my heart
And it's everything I got
You know, it's all here in my heart
It's all here in my dreams
All here in my heart
You could show me what I got
You could show me what I need
It's all here in my heart
Oh, you know,
It's all here in my heart
It's all here in my dreams
All here in my heart
And it's everything I got
It's everything I need
It's all here in my, all here in my heart
All here in my heart
I could show you what you got
I could show you what you need
It's all here in my, all here in my heart
All here in my heart
STILL
WATERS - Paroles et
musique Anneli Drecker
Still waters run deep now
I've been watching you so long
I know that something's twisted
I know that something's wrong
How long ago
How long ago
How long ago
Did you consult your heart, you consult your heart
Tend it, as I
Should do too
My true and tender comfort
That is what I offer you
Mmm, it's so easy not to say that
It's so easy not to do
How long ago
How long ago
How long now
How long ago
How long now
Will you remain apart
Split your head and heart
Keep them not apart
You must consult your heart
Tend it, as I should do too
Tend it, as I wish I could
Tend it, as I should do too
Tend it, as I wish I could do...
This isn't my fault
It is a why-mode
RAINSTORM
-
Paroles et musique
Anneli Drecker
Have I not been fooled again ?
I know I must have
I thought such joy could never end
I thought I would
Keep you with me
Eternally
Now, I turn a painful red
When people pass
Avert my eyes and drop my head
Afraid they might
See what I see
My destiny
I just want the rain to come
To console me, to pour over me
There's nothing like a rainstorm
To wash away the pain
My crying in vain
Autumn leaves and butterflies
When winter's due
They all turn weak, they all just die
In multitude
Invisible
Nothing at all
My, oh my, the wind did turn
I lie awake in bed
I sweat, I toss, I burn
With agony
This emptiness
It's so meaningless
I just want the rain to come
To console me, to pour over me
They say there's nothing like a rainstorm
To wash away the pain
I just want the rain to come
To console me, to pour over me
They say there's nothing like a rainstorm
To wash away the pain
My crying in vain
My crying in vain...
Have I not been fooled again ?
SONG OF THE
SKY LOOM - Paroles
issues d'un poême d'un indien d'Amérique de Tewa,
musique Anneli Drecker
O, our mother the earth
O, our father the sky
Your children are we
And we bring you gifts you love
Then weave for us a garment of brightness
May the warp be the white light of morning
May the weft be the red light of evening
May the fringes be the falling rain
May the border be the standing rainbow
Thus weave for us a garment of brightness
That we may walk fittingly where birds sing
That we may walk fittingly where grass is green
O, our mother the earth
O, our father the sky

YOU
DON'T
HAVE TO CHANGE - Paroles
et musique Anneli Drecker
There you go
In and out again
Of my life...
It happened once before
But you should know
I still feel the same
Just be yourself
In every way you are
You don't have to change
In every way you are
Time goes by
People come and go
But we remain
The way we used to be
Well, I saw you
Walk away from love
I need you so
In every way you are
You don't have to change
In every way you are
SAFE
NOW - Paroles et
musique Anneli Drecker
Cold, as the wind slows you
down
From the edge of town
As a weakened stranger lies before your eyes
As the wind slows you down
You're chilled to the bone
As the neon lights light up the night
And I, da-di-ya
I feel safe now
Tell you why, da-di-ya
I feel safe now
Stormy skies
Lonely nights
They can wait now
Only I, mm I
I feel safe now
Yes, I do
Cold, as the wind slows you down
In this restless town
As the wind sweeps the icy ground
Tonight you are hurrying home
You're chilled to the bone
As a weakened stranger lies behind
And I, da-di-ya
I feel safe now
Tell you why, da-di-ya
I feel safe now
Stormy skies
Long goodbyes
They can wait now
Only I, mm I
I feel safe now...
And I, da-di-ya
I feel safe now
Tell you why, da-di-ya
I feel safe now
Stormy skies
Lonely nights
They can wait now
Only I, mm I
I feel safe now
Yes, I do
MY
EMILY - Paroles et musique Anneli Drecker
All I need is some time alone
Away from here, away from home
Place where I can be far away
From that dry, from that dry
Even if I seem stronger
I'm thinking of her
The way she smiled
Our summer nights
Even if it is long ago
I don't know, I don't know
All I need is some time away
Time to find some peace of mind
Even if I seem stronger
I'm thinking of her
And now she's torn away
We couldn't let her stay
The sea and the sights and the stars in the sky
I miss my Emily
She was the love in me
Her eyes, the sea
My Emily
Say you'll stay by my side tonight
And hold me tight, hold me tight
Oh, I know that you understand
Please hold my hand, hold my hand
Even if I seem stronger
I'm thinking of her
The way she smiled and now, she's torn away
We couldn't let her stay
The sea and the sights and the stars in the sky
I miss my Emily
She was the love in me
Her eyes, the sea, the stars, the sky
And now she's torn away
We couldn't let her stay
The sea and the sights and the stars in the sky
I miss my Emily
She was the love in me
Her eyes, the sea
My Emily
Out in the sky
STOP

Paroles et musique
Anneli Drecker
It isn't black, it isn't white
So honey, let's not start a fight
It wasn't all a big mistake
It's just your loving came too late
'Cause I've had these demons inside my heart
They've been pushing me from the start
And now they're right here in your face
They've come to put you in your place
It's that radio
Too many broken-hearted songs
They make me zip, I know
I gotta stop this, I gotta stop this
It's the tv-shows
Too many sad, regretful mums
They make me flip, I know
I gotta stop this, I gotta stop this
Yeah
They make me flip, I know
Yeah
They make me flip, I know
It isn't black, it isn't white
So honey, let's not start a fight
I wasn't all a big mistake
It's just your loving came too late
'Cause I've had these demons inside my heart
They've been pushing me from the start
And now they're back, what can I do?
They tell me I'll stop loving you
It's that radio
Two many broken-hearted songs
They make me zip, I know
I gotta stop this, I gotta stop this
It's the tv-shows
Two many sad, regretful mums
They make me flip, I know
I gotta stop this, I gotta stop this
The hip hop videos
The wiggly bikini-clad bums
They make me trip, I know
I know, I know, I know that
I know we could have made it
I know, I know, I know that
Somehow we could have made it
STRANGE
LITTLE BIRD - Paroles
et musique Anneli Drecker
Strange little bird
Caught on a wire again
With her hair hanging down to her hips
Now she's glazen-eyed only because she had
To have it and feel it again
Didn't she turn
Didn't she go ?
Didn't she rise above it all ?
Didn't she learn
Didn't she see
This was not meant to be
No, no, no
I was the one who squeezed her demons with my hand
Yeah, I was the one
I thought she'd always understand
Strange, strange little bird
Didn't she turn
Didn't she go ?
Didn't she rise above it all ?
Didn't she learn
Didn't she see
This was not her destiny
No, no, no
I was the one who squeezed her demons with my hand
Yeah, I was the one
I know I thought she'd understand
Didn't she turn
Didn't she go ?
Didn't she rise above it all ?
No, no, no
Strange, strange little bird
PAINTED
BLACK - Paroles et
musique Anneli Drecker
The road is painted black
Maybe I don't want you back after all though
I said I did
It can't be just like that
Maybe I don't want you back
after all that is said and done
Do you lie?
You shine
Ain't you the
baby I know
It's time to figure out
Do you lie ?
I know, I didn't know
what to do
The road is painted black, painted black, painted black
The road is painted black
Maybe I don't want you back after all I have said and done
I know it for a fact
It is a vicious crack
And it melts my skin down
I know I know we're only waiting it out
That's how I see it now
Do you lie ?
I know, I didn't know what to do
I live on a lie
Yes, I know what I'm all about
Today is a shining
I live on a lie
Yes, I know It's the way I am until
The road is painted black...
I know I know we're only waiting it out
That's how I see it now
Do you lie ?
I know, I didn't know what to do
The road is painted black, painted black, painted black
DESIRE
- Paroles et musique
Anneli Drecker
Loving you means everything to
me
And I'm doing it baby from my ship
Let my crew help you on board
I'm their captain and I'm sure you're gonna like it
What I'll do to you
I wanted you right from the start, boy
Come on baby, feel my fire
Desire
I'm gonna prove it
Learning to be better 'till the morning
If you feel just like
If you yearn for something higher
Honey, that's all right
You're the one that I desire
So you better make a move
And shove my back against the wall
'Cause honey, you were special born
Special born for me
Let us hop upon the bump, bump bunk
Hop upon the bump, bump bunk
Ah, Desire
If you're all alone
If you yearn for something better
Honey, I'm the one
You're the one that I desire
Come on baby, feel my fire
Desire
I'm gonna prove it
Learning to be better 'till the morning
If you feel just like
If you yearn for something higher
Honey, that's all right
You're the one that I desire
ANGEL
BOSSANOVA - Paroles
Anneli Drecker et William Hut, musique Anneli Drecker
Where has my angel gone
Far across the seas
To my europa's land
I can't believe he's gone
I hope that she will see me through
I love you so
You're all that I need
Oh, then you go
Please, just stay with me
I love you so
No, don't walk away
Sleep-walker stole my night
Cute was the danger
In a stranger's land
I can't believe she's gone
I do so hope that she will see me through
I love you so
You're all that I need
Oh, then you go
Please, just stay with me
I love you so
No, don't walk away
I love you so
You're all that I need
Oh, then you go
Please, just stay with me
I love you so
No, don't walk away

Rushed in

Made them glow through the night

He came
Painted all the traps white
The monkey trap
