Nice Try

nice try
but you came up a little bit short
shy, shy
for a while, finished a mood

when I
probably get the thing back, all doors
nice try, baby
nice try

tried every trick
you win a look, baby
called it a thing
i nearly bought the whole thing

tried every trick
you’ve got something up your sleeve
called it your thing
I nearly bought the whole thing

nice try
what you’ve thought with my rolling snake eyes
with a million people will have you get while
you need some time
make a measure thinking bout
what you’ve done
(verse above not on Berliner Ring)

nice try,
nice try

(music & lyrics: Hattler/Bischof/Albers/McMillen)

No Problem

if there’s another someone
waiting in your wings
breaking through daily deep
before I sing these things
spent my money on a dose of hope
and on my desease
didn’t mean to compromise
a cause against your dreams
are you just going through the motions when you say
I can do with, do without you anyway

no problem
that is what I tell myself
is no problem
no, no, no, no, no
and if it’s a question ‘bout the
stairs of life we need
is there a rougish vagabond
you see in me
should you decide another cup of tea you need

no problem
thats what I tell myself
is no problem
no, no, no, no, no
I can do without you anyway
if I would have gone without this feelin’
that you made me have
before it comes again
should you decide that you have no time
that you like to spend.

(music & lyrics: Hattler/Wolbrandt)

(watch what) You Say

You say: I don’t believe you
You say: I really should see it
You say: I don’t listen to you
You say that I never miss you
(watch what) you say
(what I say)
Well, I can’t believe it
You say: I really don’t make it
You say: I never take you anywhere
You say that I never guess it
You say: I never take you serious
(watch what) you say
(watch what) you say
You say that I ever bore you
You say that I can’t communicate
You say that I won’t go miss you
You say that I never stay at home
So I don’t
So I don’t
No I won’t
I won’t !

(music & lyrics: Hattler/Wolbrandt)

Almost Close

well enoughs enough
can’t tell without enough
somethings up, somethings up
if you get us through this century
to pick my way to number three
somethings up, hey somethings up

almost close, to get us all the way
just close to show you
for we have to go

if someones close for a talk
but the talks have brokin’ off
somethings up, somethings up
someones missing for the follow
shakin’ up the falling bowls (somethings up)
now, here is what we propose
you stop makin those
somethings up, somethings up
and we want it for ideas
if you accept the fees
somethings up

almost close to getting somewhere
just goes to show you

(music & lyrics: Hattler/Wolbrandt)

Night has a Way

I don’t wanna have to say this again
you don’t have to be afraid
you need not defend

I don’t need to make a fake
It’s not my game
I just wanna find a way
to get past your name

night has a way of telling you, of telling you
night has a way of holding you, don’t hold on too
night has a way of hoping you, get to the truth
night has a way of knowing, while the world sleeps through

I don’t wanna hear you say
“I’ll see you again”
just because it’s getting late
it don’t have to end
I’d think better we could stay
untill then

night has a way of telling you, of telling you
night has a way of holding you, don’t hold on too
night has a way of hoping you, get to the truth
night has a way of knowing, while the world sleeps through

(music & lyrics: Hattler/Wolbrandt)

You Say (so I don’t)

You say: I don’t believe you (so I don’t)
You say: I really should see it (no I won’t)
You say: I don’t listen to you (so I don’t)
You say that I never miss you (so I don’t)
You say: I really don’t make it (so I don’t)
You say that I never take you anywhere (so I don’t)
You say that I never guess it (so I don’t)
You say: I never take you serious (so I don’t)
You say that I ever bore you (so I don’t)
You say that I can’t communicate (so I don’t)
You say that I won’t go miss you (so I don’t)
You say that I never stay at home (so I don’t)
So I don’t
So I don’t
(music & lyrics: Hattler/Wolbrandt)
