Made Our Mind Up

Words & Music by Thomas Budsa

We’d been holding back our love, but fooling around was not enough.
Well, I knew about your friend, still I reached out for your hand
I could see in your eyes all the love you felt but had to disguise

Everything you did confirmed to me that it wasn’t me who was guilty

Baby, we made our mind up for love.
Baby, we caught the stars from above.

Then one night I held you near and you said you knew you had to appear
From that day on we were one. Now we know that we have not been wrong.

Maybe your old friend is crying. Maybe he is just denying.

Baby, we made our mind up for love.
Baby, we caught the stars from above.

Made our mind up for love, made our mind up for love
Made our mind up for love, up for love, up for love
Made our mind up for love, up for love, up for love
Love, love

Feel My Love

Words & Music by Thomas Budsa

Take me higher
Closer to the fire.
Touch me with emotion.
Dive into my ocean.

Feel my love, feel my love tonight.
I’ve been waiting in the candle light.

Hold me tighter.
I want to stay beside ya.
Break in through my fortress.
Save me from darkness.

Feel my love, feel my love tonight.
I’ve been waiting in the candle light.

Keep In Line

Words & Music by Thomas Budsa

It struck me right away that fortune favors fools
To have the final say, don’t try to break the rules
You cherish an illusion, don’t let on anything
But that’s no match for you. That’s no match for you.

You say you wanna leave. You’ve waited for so long.
But what can you receive from something that is wrong
You cherish an illusion, don’t let on anything

Better keep in line. I know what’s on your mind
Better take your time. One day your sun will shine.
And you will be delighted to see that all your dreams come true.

You cherish an illusion, don’t let on anything
I gotta tell you:

Better keep in line. I know what’s on your mind
Better take your time. One day your sun will shine.
And you will be delighted to see that all your dreams come true.

Rock You On The Radio

Words & Music by Thomas Budsa, Oliver Herb

It seems like yesterday when I was seventeen.
I left the school behind, I had another dream.
It was Rock’n’Roll that I couldn’t get out of my head.
So I proved myself like my mama said.

I will go my way, I wanna be somebody
And I’ve got some friends, we’re gonna take the chance.

You will hear me on the radio.
We will rock you tonight on our show.

Sitting in my hotel room I hardly understand,
I’ve been around the world playing with my band.
And we live the live, having fun - wine, women and song.
And we do the best to rock you all night long.

I will go my way, I wanna be somebody
and I’ve got some friends and were gonna take the chance.

You will hear me on the radio.
We will rock you tonight on our show.
We will rock you tonight on our show.
You will hear me on the radio.

Oh, turn your radio on and listen to my song.

Deep Inside

Words & Music by Thomas Budsa

I don’t know what has happened in the last years.
We have changed but it’s all the same.
I am older and maybe in some way wiser But it’s still the same old game.
Every day I keep fighting for a chance
And at night I drive around.

I go dancing and I have one night affairs
But real love just can’t be found.

Deep inside I’m dreaming of a good time with you.
Deep inside I’m dreaming of a good time with you
And I know it could come true.

I’ve been hurt but I’ve learned to heal myself
On my way through fire and ice.
There’s no reason to give up
‘cause I feel young but sometimes I realize.
Every day I keep fighting for a chance

And at night I drive around.
I go dancing and I have one night affairs

Deep inside I’m dreaming of a good time with you.
Deep inside I’m dreaming of a good time with you and I know it could come true.

Dirty Woman

• Words and Music by Stefan Erndt, Dirk Meiners*
  

You’re creeping round me like a cat watching every move I want to make.
You look for trouble, that I bet, looking forward to every rule to break.
A lonesome creature that’s what you are, hungry for some love you never get.
You never show me your real face ‘cause you’re cold blooded.

Dirty woman, you live a lonely life. Dirty woman, you’re such a witch.
Dirty woman, your hate cuts like a knife.
Dirty woman get out here, get out of my life.

You’re never honest, that’s your way.
You’d even sell your mother for a little respect. That’s what you’re doing.
Frozen feelings, no words to say. Is that the show you do expect?
You’re never trying to change your mind ‘cause you think you’re always right.

Dirty woman, you live a lonely life. Dirty woman, you’re such a witch.
Dirty woman, your hate cuts like a knife.
Dirty woman get out here.

Wanna Live

Words & Music by Thomas Budsa

Well, I’m walking on thin ice.
Breaking in I realize that I gotta change my way.
What’s the price I have to pay?
Have I really gone too far or have I lost my guiding star?
There is only one way back or I’m gonna break my neck.

Wanna live in love. Wanna give enough.
Wanna live in love. Wanna give enough, enough, enough.

Well I tried to be someone that I never was, that’s gone.
I just can’t betray myself and the clock shows five to twelve.
Oh, I hope it’s not too late. Listen, I won’t hesitate.
And I’m gonna make them see, what’s about the real me.

Wanna live in love. Wanna give enough.
Wanna live in love. Wanna give enough, enough, enough.

Watching And Waiting

Words & Music by Thomas Budsa

Baby, I’ve been watching. Baby, I’ve been waiting,
Come on, forget about your fears.
Baby, look into my eyes now, you don’t have to hide now.
And I’ll wipe away your tears.

I see you siting in the corner with your head hanging low down.
He only took you for a while.
You try to hide the pain that he has caused you
And you’re laughing at me now
But I see through your unnatural smile.

Baby, I’ve been watching. Baby, I’ve been waiting.
Come on, forget about your fears
Baby, look into my eyes now, you don’t have to hide now
And I’ll wipe away your tears

I know he broke your heart in two, girl, so I pick up the pieces
No, I would never let you down.
I’ve seen him with another woman and I’m sorry to tell you
That he will never turn around.

Baby, I’ve been watching, Baby, I’ve been waiting
Come on, forget about your fears
Baby, look into my eyes now, you don’t have to hide now
And I’ll wipe away your tears.

Holding On To Love

Words & Music by Thomas Budsa

Where do you go when you’re feeling low? Do you need a place to hide?
What will you say if you can’t pay, when bad luck is on your side?

Will you blame the others and say it’s all their fault
Or will you sell your soul to get a piece of gold?
But don’t we reap what we have sowed?

I keep holding on to love. (holding on to love)
I keep holding on to love. (holding on to love)
This is what I’m dreaming of. (what I’m dreaming of)

So I’m still holding on to love. (holding on love)
Some people say that God is love. I think they’re right.

Where do you go if she says “No”, when a word cuts like a knife?
What will you say if you’re betrayed? Will you hate her for the rest of your life?

Can you set her free if she wants to go away?
Or will you hold her back and somehow make her stay?
But it all comes back to you one day.

I keep holding on to love. (holding on to love)
I keep holding on the love. (holding on the love)
This is what I`m dreaming of. (what I’m dreaming of)
So I’m still holding on to love. (holding on to love)
Some people say that God is love. I think they’re right.

I Care For You

Words & Music by Thomas Budsa

We were alone. I couldn’t start the fire.
You were so close. I had a great desire.
I tried to touch you but I couldn’t raise my hand.
That was a moment I’ll never understand.

Then I had to go and I had to leave you there.
Again I couldn’t show you that I really care.
I care for you.

We’ve known each other for a very long time.
And once you loved me I couldn’t make you mine.
And sometimes I, I dream of you,
Of making love, babe, just the whole night through.

Oh why, tell me why, does love have to end.
Baby I, I want more than just being a friend.
I care for you

I’m a No One

Words & Music by Thomas Budsa

I’m a working man, not an engineer
I live far from home, but I’m happy here.
Cause I’ve got my friends and my old guitar.
We play rock n roll, maybe you think I’m a star.

I’m a no-one but I love my life.
Just a no-one. (Just a no-one)

Well, I’ve got no girl. I don’t care at all.
Cause I know for sure that my time is gonna come.
So I live my life with open eyes.
Try to reach my aims doing the best before I die.

I’m a no-one, but I love my life.
Just a no-one. (Just a no-one)
Just a no-one. (Just a no-one)

Well, I like to laugh but sometimes I cry.
I’ll be moving on; I won�t sit around and sigh.
And if something hurts I take my guitar,
Play my rock n roll, maybe you think I’m a star.

I’m a no-one but I love my life.
Just a no-one. (Just a no-one)
Just a no-one. (Just a no-one)
Just a no-one. (Just a no-one)
Just a no-one. (Just a no-one)
A no-one.

What’s Going On

Words & Music by Thomas Budsa

You were singing in the rain, running round, laughing all the time
And you had a lot of plans for your own life
In your eyes there was a fire that would always shine, burning on and on
And you had such a drive to get things done

What’s going on? You don’t look the same and your smile is gone
What’s going on? Who treated you so bad?
What’s going on? What’s going on? Step by step you’re falling
What’s going on? Who made you look so sad?

Well, you never gave up and when we lost you spoke a hopeful word
You were full of energy and free as a bird
I had never seen you down while walking by, staring in the air
I couldn’t quite believe that that was you there

What’s going on? (What’s going on)
You don’t look the same and your smile is gone
What’s going on? Who treated you so bad?
What’s going on? What’s going on? Step by step you’re falling
What’s going on? Who made you look so sad?

What’s going on? What’s going on?
What’s going on? What’s going on?

Running Through The Night

Meiners, Scherhag, Budsa / Meiners

Who can blame us now for the deeds we’ve done
We’ll find the answer soon
I made a lot of mistakes. Now that you’re gone
I see you in full bloom
Ooh, how I wish you’d stayed
But with the dark I feel my visions fade

Running through the night, looking for your love
Searching for the light of hope
Running through the night, never ever stop
Searching for the light I can’t find in your eyes anymore

See you standing there with another love
It makes me feel so bad
The way you look at me. Do you think you’re tough?
You know it makes me sad
Ooh, how I wish you’d stayed
But with the dark I feel my visions fade, yeah

Running through the night, looking for your love
Searching for the light of hope
Running through the night, never ever stop
Searching for the light I can’t find in your eyes anymore
light I can’t find in your eyes anymore

So Easy

Words & Music by Thomas Budsa

You think that I’m a dreamer. You don’t see that I have changed.
Just move a little closer. You will see I’m not the same.
I’m trying to go new ways. Standstill is not my style.
My ambition has recovered. I am curious like a child.

I’m ready now to face it all.
There’s no more hiding. I’ve heard the call.
It’s so easy.

A lot of complications, too many thoughts in mind
which I had to cope with all day. Oh, they nearly made me blind.
The feeling that you have when you find your role to play
builds you up and makes you wonder how you could live that way.

An inner voice has set me free.
I’ve got a new horizon. Life can be so easy.

I’m ready now to face it all.
There’s no more hiding. I’ve heard the call.
An inner voice has set me free.
I’ve got a new horizon. Life can be so easy.

Life can be so easy, so easy, so easy.

Danielle

Words & Music by Thomas Budsa

Danielle is just a beauty. She’s got all what it takes.
Danielle can drive you crazy with movements that she makes.
And she is always smiling, so no one else can see
the tears that she’s been crying alone in misery.

Ooh, she could make your dreams come true.
Ooh, she could make your dreams come true.

Danielle has lost her lover. He broke her heart in two.
Danielle says that it’s over and knows that it ain’t true.
She’s looking for distraction and roams the pubs at night.
She needs a lot of action to heal the pain inside.

Ooh, she could make your dreams come true.
Ooh, she could make your dreams come true.

Ooh, now she’s gone away. She’s left us. We don’t know where she’ll stay.
Ooh, now she’s gone away. She’s left us. There was nothing more to say.
I hope she’ll find her way. I hope she’ll find her way.

Ooh, she could make your dreams come true.
Ooh, she could make your dreams come true.
Ooh, she could make your dreams come true.
Ooh, she could make your dreams come true.

Hiding From The Day

Words & Music by Thomas Budsa

At the end of the day I tell you tomorrow I must go away.
I ask you to stay. I look in your eyes and I see it’s okay.

Tonight’s the night. No time to lose, we don’t need no light.
Just hold me tight. I’ll take you away it’ll be alright.

We’re hiding from the day, hiding from the day, hiding from the day.

You look so good. We don’t need no drinks, we don’t need no food.
You’ve understood. I love you so much and I’d stay if I could.

We’re hiding from the day, hiding from the day, hiding from the day.

Hiding from the day. Hiding from the day. Hiding from the day. Hiding from the day.

Back On The Road

Rolf Gentner, Markus Kesenheimer, Thomas Budsa

The show is over, the roadies work hard.
Too much whiskey and cigarettes.
The road is long from town to town.
Tired eyes but no sleep to be found.
Well, I’m back on the road, back on the road.
Yes, I’m back on the road, back on the road.

The Marshalls are heavy just like your feet.
Another soundcheck back on the stage.
Playing rock n roll that’s my job, yeah.
They wanna see some exciting show.

Here I am back on the road.
Rolling on, back on the road, on the road, yeah.
Here I am back on the stage.
See me playing, I’m back on the road again.

Masses in trouble, groupies in bed.
Hi-lights or bust, spots green and red.
Nice souvenirs or damaged kit.
You do your best to make it fit.

Here I am back on the road, on the road again.
Rolling on, back on the road, back on the road, yeah.
Here I am, back on the stage.
Hear me playing, I’m back on the road again.

Searching

Words & Music by Thomas Budsa

I’m riding through the land of pain.
My horse is getting weak and no cloud brings me rain.
I’ve got no water left to drink.
Around me there is desert and every drop would sink.

I’ve got to move on. I’m the victim of my deed, yeah.
I’ve got to move on. Only death is guaranteed.

And I’m searching for the magic ring ‘cause I want to free my princess.
I’m still searching for the magic ring to come back as the new king.

I try to pick some of the fruit.
But as I reach out my hand it’s changing into wood.
There’s no road leading to a town.
I’ve travelled so far. It’s too late to turn around.

I’ve got to move on. I’m the victim of my deed, yeah.
I’ve got to move on. Only death is guaranteed.

And I’m searching for the magic ring ‘cause I want to free my princess.
I’m still searching for the magic ring to come back as the new king.

And I’m searching for the magic ring ‘cause I want to free my princess.
I’m still searching for the magic ring to come back as the new king.

Searching, searching, searching, searching.

Give Me A Sign

Words & Music by Thomas Budsa

Was it only an illusion or a long forgotten dream?
What’s left is just confusion. You handicapped my scheme.

There’s no meaning in our words now.
But this message must be sent somehow.
Well, it’s something you can read between the lines. If you feel love again, feel it again, give me a sign.
Ooh, give me a sign. Ooh, give me a sign.

When physical attraction is directing all your needs.
you’re just a bundle of reactions. In the end with a heart that bleeds.

There’s no meaning in our words now.
But this message must be sent somehow.
Well, it’s something you can read between the lines.
If you feel love again, feel it again, give me a sign.
Ooh, give me a sign. Ooh, give me a sign.
Ooh, give me a sign. Ooh, give me a sign.

There’s no meaning in our words now.
But this message must be sent somehow.
Well, it’s something you can read between the lines.
If you feel love again, feel it again, give me a sign.
Ooh, give me a sign. Ooh, give me a sign.
Ooh, give me a sign. Ooh, give me a sign.

Give me a sign (give me a sign), oho ooh oh
Give me a sign (give me a sign), my baby
Give me a sign (give me a sign), oho ooh oh
Give me a sign, give me a sign.

Till The Sun Goes Down

Words & Music by Thomas Budsa

I met this girl on a foggy day She drives me crazy, I don’t like it that way Only when it’s dark outside she gives me her loving I told her once, I told her twice
there’s something missing don’t you realize
When I want her love by day, she says: “No way”

It’s hard to understand but she needs a hideaway
Won’t take a helping hand my baby
But I can’t wait too long
I can’t wait when the feeling’s strong

I can’t wait till the sun goes down
right now I wanna touch your body
I can’t wait till the sun goes down
right now I wanna have you near me
And touch your body
And touch your body.

She walks away when the light is on
I don�t know what she�s holding on
Maybe she’s afraid I could find that she’s not pretty
There must be something that she wants to hide
She only loves me when there is no light
I can’t even see her shape and have to find her

It’s hard to understand but she needs a hideaway
Won’t take a helping hand, my baby
But I can’t wait too long
I can’t wait when the feeling is strong

I can’t wait till the sun goes down
right now I wanna touch your body
I can’t wait till the sun goes down
right now I wanna have you near me
And touch your body

I can’t wait till the sun goes down
right now I wanna touch your body

I can’t wait till the sun goes down
right now I wanna touch your body.
I can’t wait till the sun goes down
right now I wanna have you near me

I can’t wait till the sun goes down
right now I wanna touch your body
I can’t wait till the sun goes down
right now I wanna have you near me
And touch your body
