I love to watch you sleeping in the morning and catch your dreams as they run through your hair... so subtle... I smell them from your body, I trace them on your skin, Sweet dreams that I had never ever seen. Sleep a little more... just another minute, Five instead of four, Nine instead of eight. Sleep a little more While your coffee's waiting, I've never seen before Such a pretty lady. I love to kiss you gently in the morning and feel your breath so close upon my face... it's tender... And I am so much happy to be your only one, I'm happy to be yours and to belong. Sleep a little more... just another minute, Five instead of four, Nine instead of eight. Sleep a little more While your coffee's waiting, I've never seen before Such a pretty lady. You are my sweetest girl... You are my beloved... You are my sleepy girl... my little lady... Sleep a little more... just another minute, Five instead of four, Nine instead of eight. Sleep a little more While your coffee's waiting, I've never seen before Such a pretty lady. Sleep a little more... Sleep a little more... I love to watch you sleeping in the morning and catch your dreams as they run through your hair... so subtle... I smell them from your body, I trace them on your skin, Sweet dreams that I had never ever seen.

Whenever the weather’s cold, Whenever the weather’s hot, Whenever you’re young or old You breathe. Whatever you want to see, Whatever you wish to be, Whatever occurs to you And me Love like you have never loved, Live like you have never lived... Laugh because you’re... Dance because you’re still alive... Wherever the wind comes from, (Where the wind comes from?) Wherever you’ll find your home, (find your home...) Wherever you’ll fight someone Alone Wherever your time will flee, (time will flee) Whatever you’ll never be, (you’ll never be) Whenever you sing this song With me Love like you have never loved, Live like you have never... Love like you have never loved, Live like you have never lived... Cry because you’re... Fight because you’re still alive... Laugh if you have tears to cry And love if you can hate, Cuz one day you will die And never ever Breathe the air you’ve never had... The dreams that drove you mad Will disappear in someone’s eye. Love like you have never loved, (Like you’ve never loved before!) Live like you have never lived... (Like you’ve never lived before!) Laugh because you’re... (just because you’re...) Dance because you’re still alive... still alive still alive still alive still alive still alive still alive still alive still alive

Make You High 04:20
lyrics

No reason but hunger, No time but the now, Somehow you were stronger So you laid me down. No power to stop us, cuz now we will run The almighty chorus Of two melting to one. I’m taking your passionate bends Lest I will die without them. So I’ve got no other choice but to Make you high. I’ve been waiting for you all the time, I’ve been trying hard to make you mine, Accepted craving glances As my chances multiplied. I traced your every desire, And when at once you caught the fire We got so close we shared it And enjoyed it every day. No questions, no answers, No moral pretense. No devious extensions, No after-offense. We're passion and beauty, We're lustful desire. It won't be diluted, We will never expire. I’m taking your passionate bends Lest I will die without them. So I’ve got no other choice but to Make you high. I’ve been waiting for you all the time, I’ve been trying hard to make you mine, Accepted craving glances As my chances multiplied. I traced your every desire, And when at once you caught the fire We got so close we shared it And enjoyed it every day. Everyday... I am the one that you always wanted, I am the one that you could never get. Yet I'm the hunter and you're the hunted, I am the one that you'll never forget. Gonna make you high, gonna make you high... gonna make you high, gonna make you high... I’ll make you high like no one ever did before I’ve been waiting for you all the time, I’ve been trying hard to make you mine, Accepted craving glances As my chances multiplied. I traced your every desire, And when at once you caught the fire We got so close we shared it And enjoyed it every day. I am the one that you always wanted, I am the one that you never could get. Yet I'm the hunter and you're the hunted, I am the one that you'll never forget. I am the one that you always wanted, I am the one that you'll never forget.

Right Here, Right Now 06:05

right here... right now... right here... You tell me that the sun has come, You tell me that the clouds will always run, But when you die then everything Won't mean anything. You tell me that the sky is blue, You tell me that its color's real and true. I know it's black from high above Right here, right now. Nothing's real, save everything you feel And the rest is just a test you've gotta take. Time has no value, it's so precious though, You've got none of it right here, right now. You are a human being, your life is just a dream, You were born to walk the way you've never seen. All that you need is untouchable though, you try to seize it each time you're here and now. Right now! You told me that your love is true, you tell me things I heard and always knew, you'll tell me something new when it Won't mean anything. I told you that the moon would come, I told you that the sunshine would be gone. And now I say it once again right here, right now. Nothing's real save everything you feel And the rest is just a test you've gotta take. Time has no value, it's so precious though, You've got none of it right here, right now. You are a human being, your life is just a dream, You were born to walk the way you've never seen. All that you need is untouchable though, you try to seize it each time you're here and now. here and now here and now here and now here and now Hidden in the future, buried in the past you are in the present that will always last. Nothing's real save everything you feel And the rest is just a test you've gotta take. Time has no value, it's so precious though, You've got none of it right here, right now. You are a human being, your life is just a dream, You were born to walk the way you've never seen. All that you need is untouchable though, you try to seize it each time you're here and now. Here... now... All that you need is untouchable though here... now... your life is a dream...

Slow Down 04:25

Slow down... Slow down... Slow down... Slow down... I want you to know There's no remedy... There is no way To stop it when it comes, To shut the door and keep it away. Take it easy, Take it in the heart... take it like a bullet that kills if it doesn't heal. Hear it coming, Then feel it inside... Fear it's coming But don't let it slip away... Slow down... Slow down... Slow down... Slow down... Slow down to somewhere somehow but still never nowhere whenever you're here. Looking for no-one, Escaping the common. Someone must have been the one. The one I want you to know I'm the blast of wind, I'm the bitter and the sweet Don't stop me when I come, Don't shut the door, don't leave me behind. Take me sincerely, Take me in the heart... take me like a bullet that kills if it doesn't heal. Now it's coming, Feel it inside... Too late to run away, But the right time to stay... Slow down... Slow down... Slow down... Slow down... Too late to run away, But the right time to stay... Slow down to somewhere somehow but still never nowhere whenever you’re here. Looking for no one, Escaping the common. Someone must have been the one. Someone must have been the only one... Someone must have been the only one... Someone must have been the only one... Someone must have been the one...

Coca Cola Cat 04:53
lyrics

Paper dolls trot over the fire, Rubber ducks fly high above, Toothpaste tubes go mad with desire While the shampoo waits for love. Ships and plains play chess with each other, Bombs erect themselves for fun, Killers tell their victims “Don't bother!” And say bye-bye before they run. All of this will never happen, It's a world you'll never see. Just impossible because it's A Surreality. Empty bottles clash as they hear the Corks proclaim a self-denial. A million lovers all of a sudden Declare their love is just a lie. Ashtrays watch the cigarettes packing And cry cuz they are prostitutes. Contact lenses blink and feel happy, They're mass product for private use. All of this will never happen, It's a world you'll never see. Just impossible because it's A Surreality. All of this will never happen, It's a world you'll never see. Just impossible because it's A Surreality. C-c-cut it out! Cut it out! I've got a Coca-Cola Cat That caught a Cocktail Rat! Rew-wind that! Re- (why?), rew-wind my mind! My mind... Don't mind if I hide behind. I find You don't believe me, but I got it today! You don't believe me, but I caught it today! I have a hare in my hair and I hear it here, It says “You're impossible! I've made it clear!” clear! “C-c-cut it out! Cut it out!” Said the caught Coca-Cola Cat and the Cocktail Rat “C-c-cut it out! Cut it out!” Said the caught Coca-Cola Cat and the Cocktail Rat “If you stick a stock of liquor in your locker It is slick to stick a lock upon your stock Or some joker who is slicker Is going to trick you of your liquor, Is going to trick you of your liquor If you fail to lock your liquor with a lock!” The Cat says: “If you stick a stock of liquor in your locker It is slick to stick a lock upon your stock Or some joker who is slicker Is going to trick you of your liquor, Is going to trick you of your liquor If you fail to lock your liquor with a lock!” Stones forget the people they saw And walls forget the lies they heard. Every one are responsible for Each need, each deed and every word. Boots and shoes walk after their owner, Human blood turns into wine. Christ returns for a week in the summer and finds no hate, no greed, no crime All of this will never happen, It's a world you'll never see. Just impossible because it's A Surreality. (C-c-cut it out! Cut it out!) All of this will never happen, It's a world you'll never see. (The Cat says) Just impossible because it's A Surreality. (C-c-cut it out! Cut it out!) Rew-wind that! Re- (why?), rew-wind my mind! My mind... Don't mind if I hide behind Rew-wind that! Re- (why?), rew-wind my mind! My mind... Don't mind if I hide behind Rew-wind that! Re- (why?), rew-wind my mind! My mind... Don't mind if I hide behind Rew-wind that! Re- (why?), rew-wind my mind! My mind... Don't mind if I hide behind hide behind hide behind Rew-wind that! rew-wind my mind! My mind My mind

Three Knights 05:17

Nowhere to look, Can’t see a thing behind my distress Nothing to watch, Nothing to touch even when I’m obsessed Nothing to wear, I cannot find where I have lost my face Nowhere to go, I never know Where the subversion will come from The raindrops will Guide me all the Way to my Three Knights That wait afar One of them will Cover my shoulders With a warrior`s cloak Another one will Wipe off my sorrows With a modest and gentle stroke The third one will wash the mud from my feet And lift me up high I’ll whisper their names As we soak in the rain And kiss them all over Again and again And I touch their Spears and know that I’m their only one Beloved Queen My Three Knights Carry me over the highest hills, My Three Knights Lead me across the deepest seas My brave Three Knights Bring me through deserts of sand and snow, Where are we going? I don’t quite know But I love them so So I let them go Wherever they want I love them so So they bring me right To my sweetest horizon I love them so Every day and night I let them know That I love them so And I touch their Spears and know that I’m their only one Beloved Queen Beloved Queen Beloved Queen Beloved Queen I’m their only one I’m their only one I’m their only one Beloved Queen Beloved Queen Beloved Queen And I touch their Spears and know that I’m their only one Beloved Queen Beloved Queen Beloved Queen Queen

Gingeria 07:42

I ask for coffee, but you give me tea, I talk to you, but it isn’t me You can’t believe we’re sitting under a peach tree. I pluck some fruits and have some fun, I juggle them in the Ginger Sun As you mistake them for the hours to come. The cleanness comes from mental dirt And peace proceeds from moral hurt, There are several things that no one can avert. Please, take some apricots and come Try to juggle them, just for fun, Imagine every one of them is a Ginger Sun You have your colours till you get blind And seek for more if you want to find Another world, another sky Another truth, another lie. Take them all and make a picture of your life… Fly to where the Wind comes from, Run to where the Sun will come, Find the colour of your day Before it’s gone. My world is Ginger, yours is Blue, My skies are deep, yours might be too, This universe has place enough For me and you… You look at me, but I’m not here, I talk to you, but you don’t hear, We’re beautiful, yet both belied by false compare. I might be definitely wrong, Yet I prefer to sing a song While you mistake me for your Blackhole Sun. You’ve got your colours to dye your life You’ve got your colours to dye your life Fly to where the Wind comes from, Run to where the Sun will come, Find your colour of the year Before it’s gone. (Before it’s gone) My world is Ginger, yours is Green, My skies are cloudy, yours are clean, This universe has place enough For everything… (For everything) Fly to where the Wind comes from, Run to where the Sun will come, Find the colours of your life Before it’s gone. (Before it’s gone) My world is Ginger, yours is White, We’re different, but never mind: We have our colours till the moment We get blind (We get blind)

Take Da Jive 05:53

Every essence in Limbo, Every heart in Hell Needs a Heaven above to believe That one day they will do well. Every hour is a struggle For a better life, Every second is a fight for a dream, A bar of an endless jive. Every now and then, Every now and again Passion kills the most beloved, Jealousy buries their future And chokes their liberty. Those who love give more than they can, Those who desire always take more than they can have. We wrapped our souls in morals And scared our fears away We seek for wonders worked by somebody else, But don’t take the wizard’s place. Every now and then, Every now and again Passion kills the most beloved, Jealousy buries their future And chokes their liberty. Those who love give more than they can, Those who desire always take more than they can have. All you need is love All you need is love All you need is love All you need is love Ladies & gentlemen, men & women, Every falling angel, every rising demon, Senile old and naïve youth, You walk your settled and monotonous groove. Losers & winners, Christers & whores, The one who creeps & and the one who soars, The rich and the poor, the straight and the gay, Each one of you wants to be loved every day. But you don’t wanna see, Cuz you don’t wanna be A personal miracle for somebody. (fear) You want to be happy, but you’re never enough, Because the happiest live through unconditional love. (selfishness) All you need is love, but at a low cost, All you need is love, but at a low price. Share the best part of you with someone else And don’t look forward to recompense! cuz Passion kills the most beloved, Jealousy buries their future And chokes their liberty. Those who love give more than they can, Those who desire always want more than they deserve. Your love can save the world When it becomes sincere, But until that moment Don’t even hope that It will be near. (you don’t wanna see, Cuz you don’t wanna be A personal miracle for somebody. You want to be happy, but you’re never enough, Because the happiest live through unconditional love. All you need is love, but at a low cost, All you need is love, but at a low price. Share the best part of you with someone else And don’t look forward to recompense!) Those who love give more than they can give (the straight and the gay, the rich and the poor) Those who desire want more than they deserve. (Senile freak and teenage whore) Those who love give more than they can give (Losers & winners, Christers & sinners) Those who desire want more than they deserve. (Old and young, Mother and Son) So take the jive Take da jive Your love can save the world Your love can save the world So take the jive Your love can save the world When it becomes sincere, But until that moment Don’t even hope that It will be near

Romeo & Juliet 04:46

You like to dream of something ideal, Sometimes believe it might come true All lovers want a perfect bridal Like Joe DiMaggio & Marilyn Monroe You want to be as passionate as Rhett and Scarlett, You spoony kids, romantic youths That float on the clouds She wants him to fight for her like El Mariachi, (if she’s straight enough) He wants her sexy like Catherine Tramell And both want to kiss like Lady Juliet Lady Juliet Lady Juliet Lady Juliet Lady Juliet Lady Juliet Lady Juliet And Romeo And make love like Lady Juliet Lady Juliet Lady Juliet Lady Juliet Lady Juliet Lady Juliet Lady Juliet And Romeo You like to fake some strong emotion That you saw somewhere, but never had You dramatize for your promotion Until it drives your partner mad You want to be as passionate as Ralph and Maggie, Romantic whores and drama queens That float on the clouds She wants him being cool like Gary Cooper (or maybe Tony Montana), He wants her brilliant like Sally Bowles And both want to kiss like Lady Juliet Lady Juliet Lady Juliet Lady Juliet Lady Juliet Lady Juliet Lady Juliet And Romeo And make love like Lady Juliet Lady Juliet Lady Juliet Lady Juliet Lady Juliet Lady Juliet Lady Juliet And Romeo The truth is, your love is but a trivial affair, A pure reflection of what you dare To be or not to be. The hardest part Is knowing you can never love someone because of your empty heart And day after day, and year after year You wait for your perfect dream to appear, But it never comes true if you idealize And keep on waiting for someone to come and open your eyes Like Lady Juliet Lady Juliet Lady Juliet Lady Juliet Lady Juliet Lady Juliet Lady Juliet And Romeo And make love like Lady Juliet Lady Juliet Lady Juliet Lady Juliet Lady Juliet Lady Juliet Lady Juliet And Romeo And kiss like Lady Juliet Lady Juliet Lady Juliet Lady Juliet Lady Juliet Lady Juliet Lady Juliet And Romeo And die like Lady Juliet Lady Juliet Lady Juliet Lady Juliet Lady Juliet Lady Juliet Lady Juliet And Romeo What are you dreaming of? Jack Sparrow… Who are you dreaming of? Casey Cantrell… What are you dreaming of? Frank Martin… Who are you dreaming of? Donna Quintano… What are you dreaming of? John Constantine… Who are you dreaming of? Angel-A… What are you dreaming of? William Somerset… Who are you dreaming of? Elizabeth McGraw…

I walked so long, I saw so much, you can’t imagine ‘All hope is gone’ I need a tiny drop of it to move on I fled so high, There’s no one left to turn my back on Don’t ask me why Cuz you don’t need a sincere answer I’m not afraid To lose something that doesn’t belong to me, But I won’t wait Until you come and steal my fears away. There’s something real, Like the universal law of gravitation, Something I can’t conceal In my blank and bleak smile blank and bleak smile I don’t want to live my life tomorrow, Cuz I’m so much tired of it today. Give me power enough to move on with my sorrow, Bury part of my pain in yesterday. I ran so fast Perhaps, I’ve lost some grains of future Deep in my past… But what if they were just a dead frost? I’m somewhere near When future barely draws its first breath And then I disappear To set it free Now honestly The whole world is room for my tomorrow, Yet I’ve got no place for my today My road is empty and wide or dangerous and narrow, I bet I never choose, I’m just on my way It won’t be long Before tomorrow’s gone, To live today And die in yesterday The whole world is room for my tomorrow, Because all my future’s born today. My road is empty and wide or thorny and narrow, I bet I never choose, I’m just on my way My road is empty My road is thorny My road is My road is My road is empty My road is thorny My road is My road is But it’s my only way But it’s my own way But it’s my only way But it’s my own way I walked so long, I fled so high Don’t ask me why Cuz you don’t need a sincere answer There’s something real That I can feel Something that I conceal In my blank and bleak smile I’m somewhere near I’m somewhere near I’m somewhere near And then I disappear It won’t be long Before tomorrow’s gone To live today And die in yesterday Die in yesterday Yesterday

Heavens Give a sense of freedom As I waste my loneliness To feed your dreams Memories Bring the taste of Eden As your seconds twinkle Through my stars away The Sun shines for everyone, Yet each one wants him to be his own One day you will open A way to liberate, But till that day you’ll face your fate For ones you’re love and beauty, For others you’re a foe. We’re different things for each another, Which one you never knew Moonlight Comes like milky petals From a hidden garden in a crystal bliss Freedom Has a taste of Eden Only when it’s taken with a fancy price The Sun shines for everyone, Yet each one wants him to be his own One day you will open A way to liberate, But till that day you’ll face your fate. For ones you’re love and beauty, For others you’re a foe We’re different things for each another, Which one you never knew One day I will open A way to liberate, I know my freedom won’t be late. For ones I’m sharps and star breeze, For others I’m a foe. We’re different things for each another, Which one you never knew

about

The original "Take Da Jive" album was composed and recorded between 2010 and 2011. In 2011, this album has been released on Jamendo but then a couple of years later, I quit that platform and pulled it down.

This current release features better mixes and a new master of that old original album. I haven't added anything, nor did I pitch correct or replace any parts. I was trying to preserve the original vibes as much as I could.
