Alexandra - Mein Freund der Baum (1968)
Lyrics:
Ich wollt dich längst schon wiedersehn,
mein alter Freund aus Kindertagen,
ich hatte manches dir zu sagen,
und wußte, du wirst mich verstehen.
Als kleines Mädchen kam ich schon
zu dir mit all den Kindersorgen.
Ich fühlte mich bei dir geborgen,
und aller Kummer flog davon.
Hab ich in deinem Arm geweint,
strichst du mit deinen grünen Blättern
mir übers Haar, mein alter Freund.
Mein Freund der Baum ist tot,
er fiel im frühen Morgenrot.
Du fielst heut früh, ich kam zu spät,
du wirst dich nie im Wind mehr wiegen,
du mußt gefällt am Wege liegen,
und mancher, der vorüber geht,
der achtet nicht den Rest von Leben
und reißt an Deinen grünen Zweigen,
die sterbend sich zur Erde neigen.
Wer wird mir nun die Ruhe geben,
die ich in Deinem Schatten fand?
Mein bester Freund ist mir verloren,
der mit der Kindheit mich verband.
Mein Freund der Baum ist tot,
er fiel im frühen Morgenrot.
Bald wächst ein Haus aus Glas und Stein,
dort wo man ihn hat abgeschlagen,
bald werden graue Mauern ragen,
dort wo er liegt im Sonnenschein.
Vielleicht wird es ein Wunder geben,
ich werde heimlich darauf warten,
vielleicht blüht vor dem Haus ein Garten,
und er erwacht zu neuem Leben.
Doch ist er dann noch schwach und klein,
und wenn auch viele Jahre gehen,
er wird niemehr derselbe sein.
Mein Freund der Baum ist tot,
er fiel im frühen Morgenrot.

Lyrics:
It was so hard to say the same thing
And you're so weak to say the same thing
Girl don't hold onto your apprehensiveness
And let the wildfire shine
And repeat after me
Good girls go to heaven,
And bad girls go everywhere
And tonight I will love you
And tomorrow you won't care
(Precious little diamond
I leave it all to you
Precious little diamond
Let it come to you)
You're in love with something bigger than love
You believe in something stronger than trust
Wanderlust
Wanderlust
You're too shy away from me
Just sacrifice your every last inhibition
I'm on your side
Don't patronize
You know tonight
Is the only time we'll have each other
Why would you try to waste this precious time?
Cause tonight I'll be right here
And tomorrow you won't care
(Precious little diamond)
Precious little diamond
(I leave it all to you)
I leave it all to you
(Precious little diamond)
Precious little diamond
(Let it come to you)
You're in love with something bigger than love
You believe in something stronger than trust
Wanderlust
Wanderlust
They're in love with this idea of love
It's a shame that they'll believe it will come
For us all, for us all
You're in love with something bigger than love
You believe in something stronger than trust
Wanderlust
Wanderlust
(Precious little diamond)
Precious little diamond
(I leave it all to you)
I leave it all to you
(Precious little diamond)
Precious little diamond
(Let it come to you)

Chris Isaak - Blue Hotel & Wicked Game
Born 26 June 1956 in Stockton, California,Chris Isaak's music reflects the flavour of music at the time of his birth. He signed a record deal in 1984 for his album Silvertone. If not in 1987, with his international debut Blue Hotel, it was surely three years later, in 1990, when millions of hearts melted: Chris Isaak released his track 'Wicked Game', the video for which largely contributed to his popularity: his record company hired Helena Christensen, supermodel at the time. The 'love story' that unfolded on screen would become somewhat of a legend: apparently Chris fell in love with Helena, only to be re-buffed by her for lack of food and the chilling winds as the recording was made.

Lyrics:
Blue Hotel, on a lonely highway,
Blue Hotel, life don't work out my way.
Blue Hotel, on a lonely highway,
Blue Hotel, life don't work out my way.
I wait alone each lonely night.
Blue Hotel... Blue Hotel...
Blue Hotel, every room is lonely,
Blue Hotel, I was waiting only.
The night is like her lonely dream.
Blue Hotel... Blue Hotel...
Blue Hotel, on a lonely highway,
Blue Hotel, life don't work out my way.
I wait alone each lonely night.
Blue Hotel... Blue Hotel...

Lyrics:
The world was on fire
No one could save me but you
Strange what desire will make foolish people do
I never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you
And I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you
No, I don't want to fall in love
This love is only gonna break your heart
No, I don't want to fall in love
This love is only gonna break your heart
With you, With you
What a wicked game you play
To make me feel this way
What a wicked thing to do
To let me dream of you
What a wicked thing to say
You never felt this way
What a wicked thing to do
To make me dream of you
And I don't wanna fall in love
This love is only gonna break your heart
And I don't want to fall in love
This love is only gonna break your heart
World was on fire
No one could save me but you
Strange what desire will make foolish people do
I never dreamed that I'd love somebody like you
I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you
No I don't wanna fall in love
This love is only gonna break your heart
No I don't wanna fall in love
This love is only gonna break your heart
With you, With you
Nobody loves no one
