FOOL'S GARDEN - DISH OF THE DAY (1995)
Who you wanna be
The owner of the moon
The soon forgotten hero
With the never fading blue
Who you wanna be
When you realize you're failing all the time
Who you wanne be
Where you wanna go
When you leave your past behind
When you move yourself in circles
And there's nothing left to face
Where do you wanna go
When you feel there's nothing left for you to do
Who you wanna be in a world of sad and loneliness
Who you wanna be, you're full of all the emptiness
Who you wanna be when the moon is on the way
And all ...
Men got a ticket to the life to come
You will not tame the lame today
He man, what do you want to take along
Don't you know the price you pay
For you're creany thoughts, you're pretty gods, you'd give yourself away
Who you wanna be
Where you wanna go
Mister lame, don't tell me what you see
I am a content man in a modern world and that's all I wanna be
So why should I go to a place I never wanted to belong
I don't wanna be in a world of sad and loneliness
I don't wanna be a fool of all the answers
I don't wanna be no shadow in the rain
...
Who you wanna be in a world of sad and loneliness
Who you wanna be when you're full of all the emptiness
Who you wanna be when the moon is on the way
You're an ordinary man
You've changed the world around you
Is it better now?
No starving anymore
Is it better now?
Your helpless little fingers
They've never been as calm as now
Your trembling is over
It's better now
If there was a light in the dark
I would try to wake you up
Could I look into your eyes
While another baby cries
Forgive me
I see the children in the playfield
You had to leave your place
Your silent accusation
They took away your face
Your little life was over
Before it ever had begun
Your little wings were broken
You never reach the sun
If there was a light in the dark
I would try to wake you up
Could I look into your eyes
While another baby cries
If there was a light in the dark
I would try to wake you up
Could I look into your eyes
Would you take my alibis
Forgive me
Everybody knows it
Repression is the way
You're not the child next door
You're much too far away
If there's a light in the dark
I will try to wake you up
Can I look into your eyes
Will you walk for me your smile
But there's no light in the dark
So I won't try to wake you up
I couldn't look into your eyes
In this world of alibis
Forgive me
I'm sitting here in a boring room
It's just another rainy Sunday afternoon
I'm wasting my time, I got nothing to do
I'm hanging around, I'm waiting for you
But nothing ever happens and I wonder
I'm driving around in my car
I'm driving too fast
I'm driving too far
I'd like to change my point of view
I feel so lonely, I'm waiting for you
But nothing ever happens and I wonder
I wonder how, I wonder why
Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky
And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon-tree
I'm turning my head up and down
I'm turning turning turning turning turning around
And all that I can see is just another yellow lemon-tree
I'm sitting here, I miss the power
I'd like to go out taking a shower
But there's a heavy cloud inside my head
I feel so tired, put myself into bed
Where nothing ever happens and I wonder
Isolation is not good for me
Isolation I don't want to sit on a lemon-tree
I'm steppin' around in a desert of joy
Baby anyhow I'll get another toy
And everything will happen and you'll wonder
I wonder how, I wonder why
Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky
And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon-tree
I'm turning my head up and down
I'm turning turning turning turning turning around
And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon-tree
And I wonder wonder I wonder how, I wonder why
Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky
And all that I can see, and all that I can see
And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon-tree
Hello, who are you?
I never saw this girl before
I was astonished as can be
Somebody told me she said
You're just a hungry little guy
So I would like to offer me
To bake some cake for you
The sweetest one you've ever tried
A special cake for you
The one that makes you satisfied
Good-bye sadness
I'm dreamin' while you slip away
She took me by the hand
She really took me by surprise
One piece of cake was not enough
And so I helped myself
We danced inside fool's paradise
and I got drunk of all the love
Then I realized she moved her velvet body over mine
I felt like melting ice
I must admit this woman was divine
Hey, hey, madness, I'm dreamin' while you slip away
While Buddy the sweeper was singing a sad song
And Mary the singer swept the street
The honeymoon's floating over the river
Your cake is sweet
I had a heartache
All the pain was over now
She said: "Bye, bye, little babe"
It was nice to meet you
She closed her eyes and disappeared
I hope some day we'll meet again
If apple or cherry-pie
You honey-bee I love the way you bake
Your cakes are wonderful
Don't care about my stomach-ache
Good-bye sadness
I'm dreamin' while you slip away
While Buddy the sweeper was singing a sad song
And Mary the singer swept the street
The honeymoon's floating over the river
Your cake is sweet
While Buddy the sweeper was singing a sad song
And Mary the singer swept the street
The honeymoon's floating over the river
Your cake is sweet
While Buddy the sweeper was singing a sad song
And Mary the singer swept the street
The honeymoon's floating over the river
Your cake is sweet, your cake is sweet, baked sweet
Riding on a boat of time into the future
waiting for the day to go under
Inside the great big ocean
we look for the origin
We're riding, riding and we wonder
Science and progress can't open the chain
At any day we've got to get out again
We're looking for the reason for the big wheel's spinning around
Our ancestries found
Take me down to where the water flows
Take me up to where the big wind blows and
Make me melt inside of you
Take me out, come on and take me into
Take me down to where the water flows
Take me up to where the big wind blows and
Make me melt inside of you
Take me out, come on and take me into
We're passengers of time, succeeding our fathers
We're standing in a queue and we rack
Our brains over riddles, problems and solutions
At any day we reach the track
Science and progress can't open the chain
At any day we've got to get out again
All we know is that we really don't know nothing at all
Face to the wall
Take me down to where the water flows and
Take me up to where the big wind blows and
Make me melt inside of you
Take me out, come on and take me into
Take me down to where the water flows and
Take me up to where the big wind blows and
Make me melt inside of you
Take me out, come on and take me into
Science and progress can't open the chain
At any day we've got to get out again
All we know is that we really don't know nothing at all
Face to the wall
Take me down to where the water flows and
Take me up to where the big wind blows and
Make me melt inside of you
Take me out, come on and take me into
Take me down to where the water flows and
Take me up to where the big wind blows and
Make me melt inside of you
Take me
The sky's blue
The water's blue too
My baby is walking away
Out of the blue into a fuckin' day
She feels good and she feels sorry for me
She tells me "honey don't worry"
But I am so confused
My baby's walking, walking away
It don't mean nothing to me
You don't mean nothing to me, stay!
And think about the wild, wild days
Don't you feel like I feel?
About the wild, wild days
Or is it a dream is it real?
About the wild, wild days
Sitting in the middle of the battlefield
My baby is walking away
All the wounds that could have been healed
But my baby is walking away
I brought you flowers, I buttered your bread
I washed your car, don't you remember you said
Thatb you would love me till the end
And now you're walking away, walking away
It don't mean nothing to me
You don't mean nothing to me, stay!
And think about the wild, wild days
Don't you feel like I feel?
About the wild, wild days
Or is it a dream, is it real?
About the wild, wild days
It's too late, it's time for you to wake up
She don't need flowers, only diamonds and make-up
So sorry but now she's on my mind, mind
Talk about the wild, wild days
Don't you feel like I feel?
About the wild, wild days
Or is it a dream, is it real?
About the wild, wild days
Talk about the wild, wild days
Don't you feel like I feel?
About the wild, wild days
Or is it a dream, is it real?
About the wild, wild days
Don't steal yourself away
You said it in a strange kind
I don't forget the day
Your smile is not the same now
You've drawn your hands away
I don't begrudge it to you
You've found another place
Another place is good too
But I can't look inside your face
Inside your face, now you get away
And now we shunt our train on to a siding
I see you wave your hand and disappear
You said come on and fly with me,
Fly and then we'll dive into an endless sea
And now you fly again, I couldn't fly like you
And now I'm losing you
Pathos, how the eyes gape
I've got blood in my hands
Thoughts about the promises
And all the tears that we have shed
Don't you let them use you
Be cautious when you dive
Into the world around you
You've broken all the ties
All the ties, now you get away
And now we shunt our train on to a siding
I see you wave your hand and disappear
You said come on and fly with me,
fly and then we'll dive into an endless sea
And now you fly again, I couldn't fly like you
And now I'm losing you
And when the land begins to call
The sprites they dance, the leaves they fall
The change's begun and what remains
Not even thoughts, not even names
We can remember can forget
We can achieve the highest aims
But we won't change the rules we're depending on
Now the freak of nature's holding up
The mirror to the haughty thoughts
Our brains are filled up
Don't you feel the earth is trembling to heal
The wounds we injured to her heart
The things are easy as they are
And when the land begins to call
The sprites they dance, the leaves they fall
The change's begun and what remains
Not even thoughts, not even names
And when the time begins to fade
The side-scene changes because it's late
We cannot keep, we drop the ball
For now the land begins to call
And when the land begins to call
The sprites they dance, the leaves they fall
The change's begun and what remains
Not even thoughts, not even names
And when the time begins to fade
The side-scene changes because it's late
We cannot keep, we drop the ball
For now the land begins to call, call, call
You saw her standing at the gateway
With her hands in the clouds
But the higher she is moving up
The more it gets you down
And she's waiting in the afterglow
With her eyes somewhere else
It's like she says: "Don't let it worry you"
Was it just a warning, someday you might awake
Maybe all inside of you is not enough for what you take
Was it just a warning
Someday you might awake
And maybe all inside of you
Maybe you'll fail
Somewhere out where you are standing still
And shovel dust in the wind
Someone told you'd better wait until the rain will begin
Maybe it's time for reflections and the night endless long gives
You chance enough to make believe it's going on
Was it just a warning
Someday you might awake
Maybe all inside of you
is not enough for what you take
Was it just a warning
Someday you might awake
And maybe all inside of you,
Maybe you'll fail
No longer the same train, it's reelin' on a different track
No longer the same mistakes and no more looking back
The station you're heading for is not a place for me
I couldn't see the barriers while I was standing in between
Finally
No longer the man I used to be
No longer the same ship
We were sailing on a different sea
No other apparent reason
To go down on my knees
We were runnin' way too fast
But now it's runnin' off the rails
I couldn't see the exit
Not before the moment we were bound to fail
Finally
No longer the same shit
Finally
No longer the same train
Finally
Without you, without you
Finally, finally
No longer the fool for you
No puppet on a satin string
No more excuses for nothing
No more words that I don't mean
We were planting the same tree
But we had different leaves
Now the soil is dry
Let's end up this story
For another one to begin
Finally
12. One Fine Day
Who's gonna cover me when I shiver in a frigo
In a house of steel?
And who's gonna kill the pain?
Is it me? It is me!
Close my eyes, pass the door
Woke up on a stormy, cloudy day
You can colour the grey sky, grey sky
Walk up on a stony, narrow way
Sun, one fine day
Who's gonna follow me
When I leave a little trace behind?
And who's gonna call my name
When I'll attain a new land?
Close my eyes, pass the door
Woke up on a stormy, cloudy day
You can colour the grey sky, grey sky
Walk up on a stony, narrow way
Sun, one fine day
Looking at the surface
But the beauty is inside
I see the colours change
Should I bow myself and pray
Should I be afraid of bad news
Should I move myself or stay
Turn another page now
Don't you think about your constitution
Open the cage now
Everyday's a revolution
Open the cage now
No time to weigh
I'll turn another page, one fine day
Woke up on a stormy, cloudy day
You can colour the grey sky, grey sky
Walk up on a stony, narrow way
Sun, one fine day
Who you wanna be when you're full of all the emptiness
Who you wanna be when the moon is on the way
You're an ordinary man
