Dear John

Dont be so hard on yourself

Dont put your life on a shelf

Take it easy

Dear John

You need to go with the flow

‘Cause I would like you to grow

Stay cool and breezy

But I would have liked you to know

That after the rain comes the Sun

And the wounds will heal

Sometimes you just have to keep it real

yes, after the silence there's a song

and Its ok to feel

But dont feel to much to Long

Dear John

I know we’re doing ok

But if you met me today

You would immerse yourself

Dear John

We would have gone all the way

Instead you wanted to Play

And just wander away

But I would have liked you to know

That after the rain comes the Sun

And the wounds will heal

Sometimes you just have to keep it real

yes, after the silence there's a song

and Its ok to feel

But dont feel to much to Long

Let me explain to you what you can do:

Anything in your Life that you want to

Dont let yourself or anyone Else say no

'Cause after the rain comes the Sun

And the wounds will heal

Sometimes you just have to keep it real

yes, after the silence there's a song

and Its ok to feel

But dont feel to much to Long

After the rain comes the Sun

Its ok to feel

But dont feel to much to Long

I see them marching off to war

"Don't you worry ´bout the situation"

They'll always have to fight the alienation

(And realize they're fighting alone)

When nightmare memories fade to dust

We'll get back on our feet again

This war has nothing to do with us

but somehow we're so involved in it

Well, "Don't you worry ´bout the situation"

(A message from the telephone)

They´re out there fighting for the State of the Nation

(And waiting for the chance to come home)

"Don't you worry ´bout the situation"

(A message from the telephone)

They'll always have to fight the alienation

(And realize they're fighting alone)

There's no place like home

There's no place like home

There's no place, I don't wanna be anywhere else

There's no place like home

There's no place like home

There's no place, I don't wanna be anywhere else

There's no place like home

There's no place like home

There's no place, I don't wanna be anywhere else

There's no place like home

There's no place like home

There's no place,

I don't wanna be anywhere

Don't you worry about the situation

They´re out there fighting for the State of the Nation

"Don't you worry ´bout the situation"

(A message from the telephone)

They'll always have to fight the alienation

(And realize they're fighting alone)

They´re out there fighting for the State of the Nation

(And waiting for the chance to come home)

They'll always have to fight the alienation

(And realize they're fighting alone)

There's no place like home

There's no place like home

There's no place like home

Born in 69 (one small step for man)

And played a 64

The story of my life

was worth waiting for

You say I´m getting old

But who are you to judge

From what I´m being told

you shouldn´t talk so much

When I was younger

I had hopes and dreams

Of life and what to be

And what to conquer

It has never stopped

It´s not too late you see

50 Fifty they shout

I´m not sure what it´s all about

50 Fifty they say

I´m not listening anyway

´Cause age is a number , chance is luck

You can say whatever, I don't give a buck

Now, dont be scared of time

Its not your enemy

It will make you learn

Your own sovereignty

So dont you stop me, dont you dare

Not even in your mind

You can scream, but I dont care

´Cause you're too far behind

50 Fifty you shout

I´m not sure what it´s all about

50 Fifty you say

I´m not listening anyway

´Cause age is a number , chance is luck You can say whatever, I don't give a...

50 Fifty you shout

I´m not sure what it´s all about

50 Fifty you say

I´m not listening anyway

´Cause age is a number , chance is luck You can say whatever, I don't give a f*ck

Hmmmm, dont give a f'ck

No I dont give a f*ck

Hmmmmm a f*ck

Yeaaaah

(I dont, you know I dont)

Hmmmm, I dont give a f*ck

(I dont, I dont give a f*ck)

I dont give a f*ck

(I dont, you know I dont)

I dont give a f*ck

(I dont, I dont give a f*ck)

No I dont give a... f*ck

There´s no need for me in this real world anymore.

I´m gonna disappear and I should have done it before.

There´s a place for me and it´s not so far away.

And I´ve got four good reasons why I souldn´t stay.

I can be who I want. I can do what I want.

I can be what I want. I can do who I want.

There´s another world that I am addicted to.

And all my senses seem to be dedicated to you.

There´s a place for me and it´s not so far away.

And I´ve got four good reasons why I shouldn´t stay

I can be who I want. I can do what I want.

I can be what I want. I can do who I want.

Everytime I visit you the time is standing still

and the thought of leaving you just makes me ill.

I wish that you could provide everything I need.

But I have to leave you before we proceed.

And then... I can be who I want. I can do what I want.

I can be what I want. I can go where I want.

2650, 2650, 2650

I en klub med traditioner

Skal der altid være bold

Her er kæmpe ambitioner

Pølsen varm og øllet koldt

Vi er frygtet i tabellen

Det er os de passer på

Med et tempo som gazellen

og vi er røde, hvide og blå

Vi ta´r en for holdet

Og´ de ta´r en for os

Når vi sammen går på banen

Skal vi ud og slås

For en plads i toppen

Det er vores fælles sag

Vi vil altid ligge øverst

Hvidovre nat og dag

2650, 2650, 2650

Er der kort i stride strømme?

Dommerfejl og tykt off side?

Ingen stopper vores drømme

Og ingen stopper vores fight

Uanset hvordan det spiller

Vil vi altid sammen stå

Vi er simpelthen de bedste

Og vi er røde, hvide og blå

Vi ta´r en for holdet

Og´ de ta´r en for os

Når vi sammen går på banen

Skal vi ud og slås

For en plads i toppen

Det er vores fælles sag

Vi vil altid ligge øverst

Hvidovre nat og dag

Vi ta´r en for holdet

Og´ de ta´r en for os

Når vi sammen går på banen

Skal vi ud og slås

For en plads i toppen

Det er vores fælles sag

Vi vil altid ligge øverst

Hvidovre nat og dag

Ja, vi vil altid ligge øverst

Hvidovre nat og dag

Ja, vi vil altid ligge øverst

Hvidovre nat og dag

Everything you do is wrong.

My expectations are unfair.

We are dancing to different songs.

Heading in each our direction - but where?

I am so much in need of your help.

Cant seem to make it on my own

But instead of just believing in myself

Im ending up all alone.

And it seems to me you are just buying time, 'cause my replacement is already in line. Waiting for me to give up and realize that

forever is over and we failed the test of time

Pain! And there is nothing to gain.

I feel that something is untrue.

I'm in pain - You must think I'm in sane.

I keep forgetting "I do".

We keep forgetting "I do".

I ask if we can try again.

Just one more time - to save it all.

But you just leave me out in the rain.

Refusing to catch my fall

'Cause it seems to me you are just buying time. 'Cause my replacement is already in line. Waiting for me to give up and realize that forever is over and we failed the test of time.

Pain! And there is nothing to gain.

I feel that something is untrue

I'm in pain - You must think I'm in sane.

I keep forgetting "I do"...

Too late I realize

your intensions dont collide with your words. Seeing another guy

you are twisting the knife and it hurts!

Pain! And there is nothing to gain.

I feel that someone is untrue.

I'm in pain - You must think I'm in sane

I keep forgetting "I do"...

I´m in pain! And there is nothing to gain.

I know that someone is untrue.

I'm in pain - You must think I'm in sane.

I keep forgetting "I do".

We keep forgetting "I do".

I kept forgetting "I do".

Choir: Children from Naestved

I believe that noone should be alone.

I believe everybody wants a home,

It´s tonight. It´s christmas night.

I believe everybody needs a friend.

I believe that this night will never end,

It´s tonight. ´Cause it´s christmas night.

Don´t think it´s all about the presents

you get, well, it´s fine - so fine.

Just don´t forget the true christmas

spirit inside.

You receive so much more

than you would get.

When you love and cherish life,

don´t forget it´s tonight.

It´s christmas night.

Snowflakes are falling.

Christmas is calling.

Don´t feel so lonely.

You´re not the only one.

When days get cold and lonely

I tend to talk to you.

I know you´re here to listen

though you´re not here with me.

You will always be around

though you´re nowhere to be found.

Oh, I miss you so,

I know we´re meant to leave.

But oh, there´s so much left to say.

And though I look so tough

I´m trying to concieve.

That I´ll never see your face,

but you´ll be here - in my memory.

I know I´ll never see your smile,

but you´ll be here - in my memory.

There´s not a single moment

that I don´t think of you.

I almost feel your prescense,

I tell myself its true.

I can almost see you here.

I take your hand, but it will disappear.

Oh, I miss you so,

I know we´re meant to leave,

but oh, I have so much left to say.

And though it seems untrue

I just have to believe.

I can always see your face,

´cause you´ll be here - in my memory. And I can always catch your eye,

´cause you´ll be here - in my memory. And I will never say goodbye,

´cause you´ll be here- in my memory.

In my memory...

In my memory...

I love you...

Promote

Can you feel the love

everyone else without a doubt.

You´ve got your head in the clouds.

You wanna promote yourself,

no matter what you do

(anything that you go through)

You wanna promote yourself,

no matter where you go

(you want me to be with you and everything you do).

Will you ever know

when to stop and end your case.

When life becomes a show

all we see is that famous face.

The one they knew was replaced.

Never scared to put yourself through hell. Just as long as your face will appear and sell.

Why is it so important to be selfcentered and in sane

and be worldwide public domain?

Tonight

What is wrong and what is right

of all the words we say each night.

We agree to disagree,

but its not a crossroad, its a T - for me.

I give up, there is nothing for me to say. But its hard to stop

when you say that you want me to stay But why dont you listen

when my heart is missing tonight?

You can tell me its OK.

I dont believe you anyway.

And all the things you say and do convinces me that I am through -

with you.

Anytime

Well, I´m feeling down.

I wish you were near me

here in this town.

Wondering what you´re doing now.

Do you sleep, do you miss me?

I wanna know now.

Closing my eyes and I feel

the smell of your skin is so real

and I wanna see you again

(Anytime, anytime)

I wish I could be with you

before this time tomorrow.

(Anytime, anytime)

I will be with you

but not until this time tomorrow.

I still miss you a lot,

but that’s how it goes.

You´re the light of my life

and I think it shows.

Closing my eyes once again

the touch of your hands never ends.

And I need to see you again

(Anytime, anytime)

I wish I could be with you

before this time tomorrow.

(Anytime, anytime)

I will be with you

but not until this time tomorrow.

(Anytime, anytime)

I wish I could be with you

before this time tomorrow.

(Anytime, anytime)

I will be with you

but not until this time tomorrow.

I will be with you

I promise you - see you tomorrow

Come 4 me

Never tell me that your eyes are blue.

Never tell me

Never tell me that your love is true.

Never show me.

When we´re alone again tonight

you are the one I want to guide.

Please dont tell me that you don’t want more.

Please dont tell me.

Think about the things you never saw.

Think about it.

When we´re alone and you are above

I have no doubts:Its you I love.

All instruments / vocals:

Devoted

I will come crawling anytime.

Make your life shine

and forget the crime.

You can make me

whatever you want me to be.

Please dont tell me that we cannot be. Make me tremble

and prove that Im faithful to you.

I will come begging anywhere.

Make you my world

and my atmosphere.

You can make me

do whatever you´d like to see.

Let me show you that Im always true.

I am humble

´cause I am devoted to you

Let me be with you everyday.

Thinking of you always anyway.

You can make me

whatever you need me to be.

Let me give you what is for the few.

I will suffer,´

cause I am devoted to you.

All instruments / vocals:

When you´re gone

Something always gets so wrong

everytime your face is gone.

Time is never what it seems,

but I will meet you in my dreams.

When you´re gone

I can never be without you.

Im not strong

´cause I cannot live without you

The pillow is empty next to me.

I know that you would rather be

lying here most every night.

It should have been a human right.

Butterflies and you in pink.

More realistic than you´d think.

I´ll always save this place for you

and hoping wishes will come true.

When you´re gone

I can never be without you.

Im not strong

´cause I cannot live without you

Strangest things

The strangest things in life

are often most fascinating.

But its only fascinating

if we find them strange.

The greatest things in life

are often the ones with less attention.

But less attention Is maybe

what make things great.

The strangest things in life are often most captivating.

But its only captivating

if we find them strange.

The greatest things in life

are often the ones with less attention.

But less attention Is maybe

what make things great.

Never give up

Whatever your heart says

Feel free to go.

Whenever your mind stops

don’t let it show.

You only need one

one chance to look.

´Cause in your eyes Im trapped.

You got me hooked.

I will never give up.

´Cause you’re the icing on my cake.

And I will put you on top.

Meeting with you was no mistake.

Whenever you feel like,

feel free to speak.

Don’t be afraid to,

could be what I seek.

You only need one

one chance to look.

´Cause in your eyes Im trapped.

You got me hooked.

I will never give up.

´Cause you’re the icing on my cake.

And I will put you on top.

Meeting with you was no mistake.

I will never give up.

´Cause you’re the icing on my cake.

And I will put you on top.

Meeting with you was no mistake.

I want it back

I was born in the good days.

It was good in all the good ways.

We never had to lock the doors.

Now it seems like a lost world

and we threw away the password. ´Cause we cant tell whats mine or yours.

Please dont tell me

were stuck in the state were in.

If we are this is bad news.

Let me give you a new clue.

'Cause I am ready I dont want to give in.

I want it back!

I can buy what I want to,

anytime that I want to.

´Cause peolpe work around the clock.

Taking pills that will make you

get the skills to forget who

can make you well or hard as rock.

Please dont tell me

its that kind of life you want.

We had food with only food in.

Now be careful what you´re choosing.

Or profit will decide for you.

I want it back!

That's why

Too much disturbance

and too much despair.

Too less affection

and a secret affair.

That’s why I´m moving.

Its not that I don’t care.

But leaving you behind

seemed more logic than fair.

Too much disturbance,

and too much despair.

I did you a favour

by leaving you there

Now I see clearly,

now Im ok.

For better or worse

I can help you this way.

Daddy says hi, my patience was low. Some would surely die if I didn’t go.

But you cant imagine

how painful it grows,

and it shows.

Never be sorry,

and don’t take the blame.

I hope you will always

remember my name.

Though Im not with you

everyday.

You´re here in my heart

and here you will stay.

Daddy says hi, my patience was low.

Some would surely die if I didn’t go.

But you cant imagine

how painful it grows,

and it shows.

Daddy says hi, my patience was low.

Some would surely die if I didn’t go.

But you cant imagine

how painful it grows,

and it shows.
