1. Life at the perfect time ( Michael C. Kent  )

 

The road is leading forward, underneath my feet

to where the light are chasing shadows in the puddles on the street

I can see in the reflection that another city night ́s rolling over

 

All the faces are familiar, waiting by the way

for the ordinary ending of an ordinary day

But the night will bring the difference,

there´ s anywhere to go

we´re all waiting for the staging of this wild life show

 

Living life on a razor

walking on a thin line

trying hard not to fall from over

living life at the perfect time

 

He is standing at the corner, coloured by the light

he is putting on his coolness while he´s losing up his tie

and the ladys crack a smile while they ́re fixing up his price for an hour.

There ́s a couple near the window, serious in love

doing akward tries of hiding what they ́re really thinking of

getting everyones attention as they´re walking through the door

I guess they already found the thing we all are looking for

 

Living life on a razor...

 

 

All the signs will turn to closed now, the cab is rushing by

back into my daylife, I ve forgotten for a while

and I´ m soaking up the first light of another city dawn rolling over

 

Today is our tomorrow is written on a wall

literally spoken I should have done my last call

but I know I will be back her to commit my little sins

just like everybody does here when the night rolls in

 

Living life on a razor...

 

 

 2.This night ( Michael C. Kent  )

 

You shiver when the phone rings, and I am well aware

You´re a completely different person and you just don´t even care

It took the the whole day just to talk you down,

to convience you there´s to eat.

And not to hurry up to kill every dragon

that comes across your feet

 

I´ll try to stand beside you

get every grip you can

dońt think too much about it, just be sure that you´re the man

́cause

This night won´t be just one night,

it might be the one of all the things to become the one thing

that you should have done before

when you open up the door, say welcome to the show

 

If you try to have a good time, I´ll be not too far away

because you always find some time for me

now I´m just here for you to stay

I don´t know where it´s ending there´s just no end in sight

cause i´́s a long time since the two of us talked away the night

 

Just try to stand beside me

I get every grip I can

I dońt think too much about it, I´ll just be the one I am

́cause

This night...

 

Let`s do us something to remember when we´re older

let´s give us something we can talk about

 

 

 

 3. Where do you go tonight ( Michael C. Kent  )

 

 

You tell me you can´t come home tonight

You tell me you´re sorry

I told you to read between the lines

You told me you´d do

 

Everytime I hear you it seems I know you´re voice

everytime I touch you it feels like somebody I once knew

so tell me

 

Where do you go tonight

who´re you going to talk to

and where do you sleep tonight

is it someone I know

It´s hard to face the final curtain´s falling now

but I got to face the truth somehow

 

Where do you go tonight...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 4. You know about me ( Michael C. Kent  )

 

 

Yes I know what the people are talking

„He´s never seen in this street before,

look his jeans, and in boots he´s walking“

But know I´m right at your door

and you´re asking me „why can´t you see

that we hardly know each other“

But I know tonight that the time is right

won´t you let me in ?

 

You know ´bout me, I know ´bout you

and that´s all we got to know tonight

You know ´bout me, I know ´bout you

and everything will be allright

You know ´bout me, I know ´bout you

 

I don´t know if I´m just pretending

but it seems like a call to me

I can feel all the words that you´re sendeing

You´re trying to make me see

that you´re just playing cool

and I´m the fool in this game of make believing

I can show tonight that the time is right

if you let me in

 

You know ´bout me, I know ´bout you...

 

 

For everything that may going to be

it´s enough that you know about me

`cause I know about you

 6. The Heart of RocknRoll ( Michael C. Kent  )

 

I should write a story, like I did a hundred times before,

should come easy from my mind.

But now something´s different, I look at a the paper around the floor

it won´t come easy out this time.

 

I should have seen it about a thousand times before

that I am going to write the words left unsaid

 

It brought me up, it took me down

when I was tumbling through the sounds

Noone said it would be easy, but now I know what´s in my soul

It brought me up, it took me down,

to get my feet back on the ground

You can be sure it was not easy, but I found the heart of rockin,

heart of Rock´n roll

 

I told my friends the story, I said that I knew what I should know,

finally found the thing to do

 

They couldn´t believe it, that after all that I´ve been through,

I´m going for some cowboy attitude

 

It brought me up, it took me down

when I was tumbling through the sounds

Noone said it would be easy, but now I know what´s in my soul

It brought me up, it took me down,

to get my feet back on the ground

You can be sure it was not easy, but I found the heart of rockin,

heart of Rock´n roll

 

You can always talk about it,but you feel better if you do...

 

 

 7. You can´t pay the moon ( Michael C. Kent  )

 

 

Oh I know you´ve got a good job

and it´s money there to earn

Because the house won´t pay itself

and your children got to learn

 

But what good is all that money

from the big deals that you shot

when you don´t see your children growing

in this short life that you´ve got

 

´Cause you can´t pay the moon with your overtime

all your credits won´t impress the sun

I just quit living life like I´m on the run

and if you ask I tell you why

Because time is running, so why should I

 

Is it really that important

to get everything you see

while you´re looking in the mirror

for the man you used to be

 

I know life is getting harder

but what about to try

not to hurry through the moment

of the time thats passing by

 

´Cause you can´t pay the moon with your overtime...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 8. Sorry ( Michael C. Kent  )

 

So you´ re telling me you´re sorry

and that your new life will begin

and so you´re ending up our connection

́cause there' s another mess you' re in

 

And then you tell me we' d always be friends

and that I´d understand someday

and I say yes on one condition

there is one thing I got to say

 

I don´t wanna hear sorry

and I don´t wanna have to say goodbye

How could this have been gone so fast

( cause ) if tonight will be the last

( then ) I don´t wanna see you go

I don´t wanna hear sorry

and I don't wanna hear you say goodbye

If there is nothing I can do then I leave it up to you

( but ) I don't wanna hear sorry

 

Therés nothing left to say or to go for

to do the things I haven´t done

Ain´t no use to plan the future

because I know you will be gone

 

And so you told me your opinion

You can be sure you made it clear

But if you look back on the time we had

there´s something I dońt wanna hear

 

I don´t wanna hear sorry...

 

You better believe in someone

But time´s a thief, if someone

will come along then I hope I´ll be strong again....

 

 9. Conquered ( Michael C. Kent  )

 

 

I know you´re sleeping miles away

breathing into the night that still surrounds me

My thoughts are drifting backward to the time

our story just begun

I was telling you the truth, straight from my heart

you told me that you knew, right from the start

and than by blinking of an eye I knew it´s done :

I´m the conquered one

 

I could pretend that I was stronger

if you pretend believing lies

But I can´t promose not to laugh out

but if you want me to I´ll try

I could pretend I was the leader

in all the things that sure will come

but then by blinking of an eye I know it´s done

I´m the conquered one

 

All the things you laugh about

would take a year if I would have to do it

The phone bill and the bank account

all the birthdays that I can´t remind

You know the things to do, straight from the start

I could pretend I knew, but in my heart

I know by blinking of an eye it will be done

I´m the conquered one

 

I could pretend that I was stronger...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

10. The road goes on ( Michael C. Kent  )

 

 

Well, I never saw the city of the stage I´m on tonight

people told me it was pretty

and I had to find the time to take a coffee

and I hope I´ll remember

 

It´s a pretty good location, the hotel room is fine

it sure will be a good show

and I know that you´re on my mind

though you are 1000 miles away

 

And the road goes on

but still it feels good to come home

even if I can´t stay that long, I have to travel on

cause the road goes on

 

While I try to think things over

the car will lead the way

there´s still one hour left

to the place where I know I can stay

and that one hour seems so long

 

And the road goes on...

 

 

We got to hold on, hold on to the last

yeah, we got to hold on, hold on, life´s fast

 

And the road goes on...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

11. Working Class Man ( Michael C. Kent  )

 

 

It was a brokers party, I got nothing to do

the music was boring and the people too

and I was stepping out

Right across the street there grew a sign in my sight

it said „ The beer is not for free, but the music is right „

and I was stepping in

 

And I had a few drinks, started to talk away the night

with a girl standing next to me

she said „ first I wasn´t sure, but now I know that I was right“

she looked me straight in the eyes then she said to me :

 

„You´re a working class man,

there´s no disguise it´s in your eyes and shining through

Yes you´re a working class man

No matter what you wear, it´s always there deep inside of you

´cause you walk like we use to walk to

and you talk like we use to talk to

´cause you´re a working class man“

I said „ Yes I am „

 

Her brother used to work down from seven to four

but now they´re cutting down the engines and the factory door

is closed now.

From her husband she´d burried about two years ago

and that she´s running out of money,

´cause the insurance show is over now.

 

And she asked about the buiseness and the rocknroll band

she had never heard before.

And I said „if I would write this, would you understand ?“

she said „ do what you can, thats what you´re living for

 

´cause You´re a working class man,...

 

Yes, I´m a working class man...

 

12. One last kiss ( Michael C. Kent  )

 

 

Your smile is bigger than your favorite bear

that you´re holding in your hand, I try to comb your hair

and you tell me how you´re doing in school

I wish every evening you could do

 

so I beg one last kiss

tomorrow you´ll be bigger

you could spit over my head

But tonight little girl, I´m the one who tells you

when to go to bed

 

I love to watch you lying in that bed

with a smile up on your face, your teddy´s next your head

and I wish that every minute could last

but you are growing up so fast

 

so I beg one last kiss...

 

I know that the time will come

somebody wants to take you away

some fellow with that shining eyes

But I will be prepared for that day

Yeah, I know what I have to do

when he finaly comes your way

I´ll be right around the corner, a double action in my hand

 

 

and I beg one last kiss...
