Today
Music+Lyrics:
Toni Vescoli
Today – here we are again
Even better than
We have been before
Hey – do you remember when
We hit the charts and then
We’ve played no more
We were so much younger and the world so clear and clean
No one had to worry ’bout burning gasoline
Life was so much easier, innocent and free
The future wide and open, great and heavenly
No weariness ’bout the future, believing just in love
We put the flowers in our hair, sailing high above
Today – here we are ….
Then one day we fell from heaven, deep into the blues
The fight against reality blew what remained of the fuse
We’ve been scattered here and there, driven wide apart
Each one of us was looking to find a brand-new start
Finally we are together, just for having fun
And we do respect each other, band on the run!
Today – here we are ….
We hope that you and us together
Can build a better time
Let’s build a better world together
Rhyme a better line
Today – here we are ….
Today – here we are again
Even better than
We have been’ before
Today!
Better Place
Baby – Come down
We gotta find us a better place
Maybe – a town
Somewhere far out in outer space
Baby – come down
We’ll never find us a better place
I might be – a clown
But you will find me in cyberspace
Believe in the future
In Hollywood
Run through the gutter
To find some food
Catching a rainbow
Lookin’ for peace
Look through the keyhole
You’d better cease
Baby – come down …
What will you find there
There’s nothing new
It’s just a nightmare
Some kind of blue
You’d better come down
We’ll find a place
There is a free town
In cyberspace
Baby – come down …
Hey Baby, we gotta go now
We better go now, we gotta go

Lyrics: Toni Vescoli
Never Be Apart
Well I think about you all night and day
And I cannot forget your special way
Of holding me tight,
Now you are out of sight,
So please bring back your delight
Well I saw him by your side through the window,
Never thought that you would make me cry
When I held you in my arms
And I felt all your charms
I was sure that this would never end
Our love will never end
Feelings, we can’t pretend
Yeah for sure it lasts forever
And we will never
Be apart ’till the end
Well, so many things I remember
And I hope our love will never die
You bring me so much fun
There ain’t no other one
Who can please you the way I do

Each Way
The sun goes down, the day goes bye
I guess it’s getting cold
I know something is goin’ on
And I don’t know what it is
It’s just a feelin’ deep inside
Like when the bells are tolled
I know something’s gonna change my life
Please tell me what this is
Each way that you go my brother
Wherever you’re going to
Each way leads you to another
May your last way lead you through
We walked together all the way
Even on stormy days
But now I feel that you are thinkin’ of
Stoppin’ to walk for a while.
I hope that you will find yourself
Somewhere in a peaceful place
A place to lay your body down
And say good-bye with a smile
Each way that you go my brother
Wherever you’re going too
Each way leads you to another
May your last way lead you through to peace

Born To Lose
I had a dream, I wrote a song
It’s getting number one
Was on the stage and all the lights
The lights been turning on
A Band was playing, I was singing
The sound was turned up loud
People having fun
And screaming twist and shout
Nightmare, wake up
That dream it wasn’t true
Was sad, so sad
And I feel myself so blue
It brings me down to see
That life can be so cruel
Back to Reality
Is not so cool
My desire burned like fire
Since I was a boy
In my heart there is just music
It fills me up with joy
Don’t need silver, don’t need gold
Just let us blow the fuse
Give me that feeling
That I’m not be born to lose
Music: Düde Dürst
Lyrics: Freddy Mangili
Show Me
You show me
Your smiling face, but I don’t know
You show me
Your sunny side, but I don’t know
How does it look inside
What do you have to hide
How many rooms are there
That you’ll never show to anyone
You don’t wanna show it – no
Even if you know it – oh
You can’t always hide it – no
You’ve got to open up your door
Let me see
Behind your face, so I will know
Let me see
Deep in your soul, so I will know
What hurts so much inside
Don’t swim against the tide
Just let me find your hidden rooms
and let me help
I don’t wanna hurt you – no
I just wanna free you – oh
Don’t need to feel ashamed
Let me help to open up the door

Lyrics: Toni Vescoli
Lose It
You’re gonna lose it
You gotta go straight through
You’re gonna lose it, yeah!
You’re gonna lose it
There's nothing you can do
You’re gonna lose it, yeah!
You are so wild, teeth of a child
You’re gonna lose em’
You're getting strong, your hair gets long
You’re gonna lose it
Your lucky, plucky heart
Gets innocently smart
Your dreams will be fulfilled
But at the end:
You’re gonna lose it …
You’re working hard, to learn your part
You’re gonna lose it
You’re licking knob, to get a job
You’re gonna lose it
Whatever you will get
You’de better soon forget
Cause last of all
When you pass away:
You’re gonna lose it …
But there is something, which you’ll never lose
Something that no one can raze
It is your dignity that remains
Even if you had to lose your face
You’re gonna lose it
You have to check the rules

Just Another One
Just another one is movin’
Just another one has gone
Just another one has joined the “Big Old Band”
Just another one
Why so young and why so early?
Was it really just the time?
A man like him, so strong and burly
Able even the highest steps to climb
Who can tell me, where he’s gone
High up there, is there a band
Waiting for a voice so strong
Singing with the choir in heaven’s land
Hey Gene Vincent, Buddy Holly
Elvis and Jim Morrison
Brian Jones and Stevie Ray Vaughan
Korner, Brack und Harrison
Janis Joplin, Kurt Cobain
And Bob Marley I can see
Jimmy Hendrix und John Lennon
Sandra, Rolf and then Steve Lee
Just another one ….
They picked a time of going early
Before they’re getting’ grey and old
Before they’ve lost being burly
Before the fame is getting cold
Times goes bye, I’m getting older
More and more friends have to go
But even as the world gets colder
I’m getting further with the show
Singin’ songs and having fun now
With my everlasting band
Tell the Angel I’ll be somehow
Singing with the choir in heaven’s land
Just another one ….

Bye
Yeah, I’m going on, no one holds me back
And the river flows down to the weary pack
The politicians come and go
And the sun goes, down-down
And the days go by
And the weeks go by
And the months go by
And the years go by
By-hy-ye
Yeah, work goes on from eight till five
So you better not forget to dance and jive
Love flows back to you
And the rain falls, down-down
Bye-bye-bye-bye
And the cars drive fast
And the planes fly wide
And the trains pass by
All the ships grow high
Hi-hi-igh
Yeah, we’re going on, no one holds us back
While the river flows down to the weary pack
New stars come and go
And the wheel turns ’round-’round
And the cars drive fast
And the planes fly wide
And the trains pass by
And the ships grow high
Hi-hi-igh
Bye-bye-bye-bye

Are You Mary Lou?
Maybe it’s you
Maybe it’s you there
Tell me your name – maybe it’s you
Maybe it’s you
Maybe it’s you there
I’m looking for that love so true
Maybe it’s you
Maybe it’s you there
Are you the girl that I once knew?
Maybe it’s you
Maybe it’s you there
I once heard that song of sweet Mary Lou
Good Ricky was singin’: “Hello Mary Lou!”
I loved her at first sight sweet Mary Lou
To each girl I just said Hello Mary Lou
Maybe it’s you
Maybe it’s you there ……
Don’t know what she looks like, sweet Mary Lou
She must be a beauty, my Mary Lou
She lives in my dreams and she’s called Mary Lou
My whole life, I’ve looked for sweet Mary Lou
Maybe it’s you
Maybe it’s you there …..

Rainy Day
Just hangin’ round on a rainy day
No reason to react any ol’ way
Just the whole day the same game to play
Dreamin’ of Honolulu-Bay
It’s a rainy, rainy, rainy day today
It’s a rainy, rainy, rainy day today
It’s a rainy, rainy, rainy day
A rainy day – today
Please leave me here to stay
Let me enjoy the day anyway
Rainy days are past
Sunny days at last
Switch to rain so fast
And the die is cast
It’s a day just to hit the hay
To be away from any fray
Just stay away till you’re old and gray
And don’t watch out for a sunny day
It’s a rainy, rainy, rainy day today
It’s a rainy, rainy, rainy day today
It’s a rainy, rainy, rainy day
A rainy day – today
Please leave me here to stay
Enjoy that day anyway
Rainy days are past
Sunny days at last
Switch to rain so fast
And the die is cast
It’s a rainy, rainy, rainy day today
It’s a rainy, rainy, rainy day today
It’s a rainy, rainy, rainy day
A rainy day – today

Lyrics: Vescoli / Dürst
Dear Affair
Remember at the time when I found
the woman for the rest of my life
You were horrified when I got married
against the rest of the bunch
You picked the flowers on the roadside
hung around with one-night stands
Chasing dark nights into daytime
while I went home to my wife
Yes, I remember all the wild nights
but in the end
I met my true love at the right time
and we got married just like you
And since that time we are together
bourgeois just like you
We know that there is nothing like
being with your best friend
I guess that we’ve been kind of exotic
rare birds in a time
That celebrated free love
when true love was a crime
Remember at the time when you found
the woman for the rest of your life
You picked the flowers on the roadside
hung around with one-night stands
I guess that we’re now pretty bourgeois
and we are proud of it
We know that there is nothing like
being with your best friend
I guess that we’ve been kind of exotic
rare birds in a time
That celebrated free love
when true love was a crime
A one-night stand is not forever
nor is a dear affair
But we’ve both found someone who’s worthy
of a life to share

Disco Queen
Hey you are a nice young girl
Only want to dance and twirl
Fell in love with «DJ Buff»
Love his music, can’t get enough
Fell in love with his big blue eyes
Print a poster, mega size
Now he’s in town, he’s getin’ it on
You’ll be there and you’ll be having fun
You’re a Disco Queen
Crazy ’bout the scene
«Buff» is a sound machine
Girl if you know what I mean
You were dancin’ through the night
You were longin’ to hold him tight
Waiting at the backstage door
It was «Buff» you were waiting for
Silly Disco Queen
Don’t you know what I mean
He’s just a sound machine
Girl! Don’t you know what I mean
Better look for someone real
Someone who can really feel
Not a face from cyberspace
A Musician from the human-race
You’re a Disco Queen
Crazy ’bout that scene
«Buff» is a sound machine
Girl if you know what I mean
Silly Disco Queen
Don’t you know what I mean
He’s just a sound machine
Girl! Won’t you know what I mean

Lyrics: Toni Vescoli
I Think Of You
I think of you
I am missing you
I am longing for the day
I am longing for that sunny day
When I’ll see you again
When I’ll see you again
Remember you and me
We had joy and fun
We were laughing all day long
You are in my heart and in my thoughts
And I’ll love you for evermore
Yes I’ll love you for evermore
Tell me where you are
Can you hear me
Can you feel my thoughts of love
Oh I love you so and I’m longing to see you again
To see you again
I think of you
I am missing you
I am longing for the day
I am longing for that sunny day
When I’ll see you again
When I’ll see you again

Good Years
Good years, good years
Good times are gone
And no matter how you try
They’ll never reappear
Good years, good years
Good times are gone
Enjoy the sweets
Before they disappear
Take it
As long as you are young enough
to dig it
Good Times, good Times
Time flies away
You’ll find out
Your memories are dear
So take it - Dig it
Take it
As long as you are young enough
to dig it
Good days, good days
Come back today
Bring me back that good time music
Into my ears
Good years, good years
Why can’t they stay?
Do they have to change to
Pain and tears?
Take it
As long as you are young enough
to dig it

We Like Rock’n’Roll
Yeah, long ago, Rock’n’Roll was born
People rockin’ all through the night
«Jailhouse Rock» kept them movin’ on
No matter if they’re black or white
Yeah, the Rolling Stones, Little Richard too
Elvis Presley was the King
And «Lady Jane» or «Blues Suede Shoes»
«And Your Bird Can Sing»
Flower Power, hair grow long
High heel sneakers in the streets
Smoking good old grass, everywhere
Pretty girls in satin sheets
Make love not war, hopin’ for peace
For the world, to be free
Let’s rock and roll, «Don’t Be Cruel»
And play just «Let It Be»
Rock and rolling, Rock and rolling,
Rock and rolling, we like Rock’n’Roll

Time To Say Bye
Aaaaaaaaaaaa
It is time to say bye
Better don’t ask me why
‘Cause we know, it is all in the game
Please don’t be a fool
Lets just follow the rules
There is no one to blame
So you’d better not say
That you want me to stay
That you want me to be by your side
Nothing I can do
Just to leave without you
Guess I’ll go with the tide
Aaaaaa
So you better take care
Find somebody somewhere
Someone who takes care of you
And you’ll find out quite soon
It was just a balloon
When you finally find someone new
Aaaaaaaaa
So you soon will forget
The time that we met
And your life will be fine and complete
‘Cause it’s all in the game
There is no one to blame
But something inside hurts me deep
