Mrs Adams 05:00
lyrics

MRS ADAMS If this really makes you happy After all these years You are naked cause there's nothing And nothing wrong You are driven cause you want this And he wants you too There's nothing left between us Well then, go on Hell, if that's what it takes to become Mrs Adams Well the whole thing wouldn't change anyway Did he sing about that Summer? Or about cloud 9? Did he cross the big atlantic? Well then, it's time Hell, if that's what it takes to become Mrs Adams Well the whole thing wouldn't change anyway Yeah, if that's what it takes to become Mrs Adams Better go now cause you wouldn't want to stay Should we talk about some fiction Or all unspoken words? Weren't all these roses red enough for you? Must we cut our hearts in pieces, in order that it hurts? Is it better there or just some kind of new Hell, if that's what it takes to become Mrs Adams Well the whole thing wouldn't change anyway Yeah, if that's what it takes to become Mrs Adams Better go now cause you wouldn't want to stay

Girl 04:19

GIRL Feel the weight on your shoulders Gently taken aside Truth is somehow revealing Grab your senses ans pride Maybe I‘m not that stupid Maybe you‘re not that good Maybe things could be better Where we always have stood Guess, you‘re the girl I always waited for to come I can‘t explain what‘s going on an on and on and on When you tear down the curtains So the whole world can see How we‘re laying there naked Parts of you above me Guess, you‘re the girl I always waited for to come I can‘t explain what‘s going on an on and on and on Never let me go with a warm hello Never let me stay with a cold goodbye Never let me go with a warm hello Never let me stay with a cold goodbye Guess, you‘re the girl I always waited for to come I can‘t explain what‘s going on an on and on and on

COULDN'T HURT YOU MORE Really had a crush on something that once looked like you Leave a message while I'm listening, but you can't get through Oh no, my, my! I don't need to make up I don't have to try it I don't need to keep you Cause I couldn't hurt you more I don't need to give in I don't have to fake love I don't need to have you Cause I couldn't hurt you more, I couldn't hurt you more Build this bridge now that I'm passing to get away from you What has changed us? It's not hardly where we're going through Oh no, my, my! I don't need to make up I don't have to try it I don't need to keep you Cause I couldn't hurt you more I don't need to give in I don't have to fake love I don't need to have you Cause I couldn't hurt you more, I couldn't hurt you more I am so sure now! That all these things are good for you and me! It will work somehow! That we both will be fine, yeah, you and me! Oh dear, wake up, wake up I don't need to make up I don't have to try it I don't need to keep you Cause I couldn't hurt you more I don't need to give in I don't have to fake love I don't need to have you Cause I couldn't hurt you more, I couldn't hurt you more

Bloody goodbye 05:18
lyrics
buy track
BLOODY GOODBYE Everything’s all easy now Slightly shake and fall asleep And everything’s all simple now Dig a heart, yeah, dig it deep Red on white, and nothing hurts Nothing left to talk so loud Nothing worth to shed the words Raise your hand and shout it out loud This is goodbye, bloody goodbye And we wave to things we could have seen This is goodbye, bloody goodbye Bloody goodbye I may be your problem But I am not your crime You hear this silent bedlam Inside all the time You said that there’s no-one here left to talk You’d carry all this all alone You’d go if there’s a path to walk Trespassing now the lover’s zone This is goodbye, bloody goodbye And we wave to things we could have seen This is goodbye, bloody goodbye Bloody goodbye Call me when it’s over! Call me when you’re gone! Call me when you’re lonely! Call me when you’re gone! This is goodbye, bloody goodbye And we wave to things we could have seen This is goodbye, bloody goodbye Bloody goodbye

I LIKE IT I think it’s time to go, I grab my things and so There’s someone over there who needs some time to share Don’t ask for sympathy, watch out for what you see When all horizons fall you won’t remember after all And I like it, I like it like this Yeah, I like it, I like it like this Protect yourself from what you want You wouldn’t like it, wouldn’t like like this, like this Protect yourself from what you want You wouldn’t like it, wouldn’t like like this, like this When blue lights disappear, you won’t find no one here A shadow on the floor where I stood still before You thought it would be nice if you could take my lies Turn them into some truth, there is no chance, I’ve got to move And I like it, I like it like this Yeah, I like it, I like it like this Protect yourself from what you want You wouldn’t like it, wouldn’t like like this, like this Protect yourself from what you want You wouldn’t like it, wouldn’t like like this, like this The sun and the moon and the stars will sing About everything that we smuggled in Cause it’s good for you and it’s good for me That you can’t see where you’ve never been And I like it, I like it like this Yeah, I like it, I like it like this Protect yourself from what you want You wouldn’t like it, wouldn’t like like this, like this Protect yourself from what you want You wouldn’t like it, wouldn’t like like this, like this

One day you will return 05:02

ONE DAY YOU WILL RETURN I guess you’re oh so right Leaving everything behind Don’t look into this light It will slowly turn you blind You never wanted this to happen It’s not your fault One day you will return and save this place This will be near Don’t mind if everybody else will give his best To keep you far away from here This place where you were born Is a rotten piece of dust What keeps you here is torn You got the news but lost your trust You never wanted this to happen It’s not your fault One day you will return and save this place This will be near Don’t mind if everybody else will give his best To keep you far away from here Strange robbers took the green Paint the earth in red and grey Too much that you have seen There’s no way for you to stay You never wanted this to happen It’s not your fault, no, no You never wanted this to happen It’s not your bloody, fucking, stupid war One day you will return and save this place This will be near Don’t mind if everybody else will give his best To keep you far away from here Cause you’re not far away from here You’re not far away from here You’re not far away from here

We should be dancing 03:28
lyrics
buy track
WE SHOULD BE DANCING What if no one told you You are beautiful? Would you end up angry? Or would it make you dull? There’s a graceful halo Shining overarm You don’t cause no trouble You are safe from harm Grabbing seconds, getting minutes Saving hours, collecting days Kill those weeks and drink them up Hold your breath but never stop And we should be dancing Like we’re not afraid to fall And we should be dancing Cause we’re not afraid at all I am here to tell you That you are beautiful Will this make you happy? Will this soothe your soul? We might be wrong, we‘ve always been We close our eyes, we‘ve never seen The things we found were brown and green Flying high and inbetween We should be dancing Like we’re not afraid to fall And we should be dancing Cause we’re not afraid at all That’s what we’ve got, and it’s a lot We should be dancing Like we’re not afraid to fall And we should be dancing Cause we’re not afraid at all Grabbing seconds, getting minutes Saving hours, collecting days Kill those weeks and drink them up Hold your breath but never stop And we should be dancing Like we’re not afraid to fall And we should be dancing Cause we’re not afraid at all

She smiles 03:31
lyrics

SHE SMILES She is off, cause she is late She’s gotta do the job she hates And she goes there every day Yeah, she goes there every day She’s got to be the way they like She’s got to hide away the spite But she does it every day Yeah, she does it for the pay She’s convinced that she’ll end the past She’s convinced that she’ll fit the cast But in the end she smiles the grey away In the end she shines just like a ray And when you guess she can’t go on with this She goes on every day There’s a plan that she won’t tell And there’s a dream that she won’t sell But she keeps it every day And there’s no need to weigh She’s convinced that she’ll end the past She’s convinced that she’ll fit the cast Cause in the end she smiles the grey away In the end she shines just like a ray And when you guess she can’t go on with this She goes on every day

Blue wheel turning 02:48
lyrics
buy track
BLUE WHEEL TURNING It’s a blue wheel turning, it’s a red cross burning It’s the rumour outside and the silence inside And it’s a blue wheel turning It’s a blue mind reminding, mouth that’s sending An unknown tune on a lovely june And it’s a blue wheel turning It’s a strange man remaining, cloud that’s raining It’s a wet face drying, woman trying And it’s a blue wheel turning And the sea silently goes home Drunken men go to sleep The married ones clean up the mess Only lonely women weep It’s a merry-go-round, unbearable sound It’s what I’ve heard before in the room next door And it’s a blue wheel turning It’s eight years lasting, elder man asking Life that floats on a different road And it’s a blue wheel turning And the sea silently goes home Drunken men go to sleep The married ones clean up the mess Only lonely women weep See how they leave with their boats See how they leave all behind See their wifes’ longing for dawn See how they slowly turn blind And the sea silently goes home Drunken men go to sleep The married ones clean up the mess Only lonely women weep

Hope that we once had 04:18
lyrics

HOPE THAT WE ONCE HAD We’re not as big as we would like to be When eloquent words just help to heal the pain We’re not as strong as we all aim to be When all our blood is stuck in the brain And it feels so bad, so it must be wrong And it feels so wrong, so it can’t be right We’re not as cool as we intend to be When we wave goodbye to the trains we didn’t catch But we’re not as cold as we all try to be When we fight the draw on a 90 minute’s match Cause it feels so bad, so it must be wrong And it feels so wrong, so it can’t be right So, let’s take our flags to wednesday market place And we sing a song for the ones we love so bad The gloom returns onto your pretty face And we’ll sing a song for the hope that we once had We’re not as blue as we pretend to be When nothing sticks and all things fall apart We’re not so dark when there’s enough to see And when a morning ray still hits us in the heart Cause it would feel so bad, so it must be wrong And it feels so wrong, so it can’t be right So, let’s take our flags to wednesday market place And we sing a song for the ones we love so bad The gloom returns onto your pretty face And we’ll sing a song for the hope that we once had We’re not so small, and we’re not so weak And we’re not that blue, cause we’re not so bleak So, let’s take our flags to wednesday market place And we sing a song for the ones we love so bad The gloom returns onto your pretty face And we’ll sing a song for the hope that we once had

BAUM Switzerland

"Baum's intense and passionate performance was probably the best I witnessed at any gig for a long time. When I saw him live I actually felt privileged to be in the presence of someone with so much talent, so much passion, with songwriting of the highest quality. We really should be seeing this guy in the Olympia."
