Confusion

Confusion
bound in confusion
made by mistakes
continously in motion
try to stand on the brakes
the only solution
bound in confusion
want you to know
whatever it takes
whatever will grow
for honesty's sake
the only solution
bound in confusion
times are a changin
life's full of wonder
the truth is fakin
try to pull me under
the only solution
bound in confusion

What A Fool

What A Fool
see the fool crawling up the hill
mankind want to know how to kill
what he's trying to find
he's got the earth under he's feet but he's still blind
only a fool act by the rules
while attending a rat race
we standing in another man's grave
but the fool believes in prophets
the holy writ is not what history has told us
only a fool act by the rules
old man has fought for the young man's welfare
what's left behind is a youth full of despair
a bunch of fools hold on to their mules
always ready to be barbarous and cruel
only a fool act by the rules

Who Am I
the blues got a hold on me
i can't get no relief
i've tried to make a change
and i've tried to leave
i got a girl
and i got enemies
they didn't want to leave me
but who am i to complain
i wish the devil would catch
he would bring me to hell
i would sell my soul to you
to get out from the cold
i got a girl
and i got enemies
they didn't want to leave me
but who am i to complain
but who am i to complain
but who am i to complain
i'm waiting for the better days
i do it every day
the blues got a hold on me
wont let me change my way

Spirits Of The Dead

Spirits Of The Dead
thy soul shall find itself alone
mid dark thoughts of a gray tombstone
not one of all the crowd to pry
into thine hour of secrecy
be silent in that solitude
which is not loneliness, for then
the spirits of the dead who stood
in life before thee are again
from childhood's hour i have not been
as others were i have not seen
from the same source
i have not taken
my sorrow i could not awaken
my heart to joy at the same tone
and all i lov'd i lov'd alone
then in my childhood in the dawn
of a most stormy life was drawn
from every depht of good and ill
the mystery which binds me still
from the torrent or the fountain
from the red cliff of the mountain
from the sun that round me roll'd
in it's autumn tint of gold
from childhood's hour i have not been
as others were i have not seen
from the same source
i have not taken
my sorrow i could not awaken
my heart to joy at the same tone
and all i lov'd i lov'd alone

Devil's Work
can you read what's written
i can't find
speak what's lies hidden in my mind
what's the truth behind all those lies
that you see in my eyes
i've tried so hard to disguise
show me what it means to be alive
once i've heard it's easy if you try
can you see what's inside my head
i still feel but i'm already dead
i don't know what to say to you
cause i know it will hurt you too
love is indeed a devil's work
can you read what's written
i can't find
speak what's lies hidden in my mind
what's the truth behind all those lies
that you see in my eyes
i've tried so hard to disguise
i don't know what to say to you
cause i know it will hurt you too
love is indeed a devil's work

All My Life
fly with me
across the burning seas of love
spread your wings
fly right in to the break of dawn
you got to keep on moving
yes im'talking bout to groovin
keep on moving
let's talk about love
eliminate the hate
give what you can
all my life
i've been waiting for something
all i try leads to nothing
love will find a way
love will find me
dip into the ocean
or rise up right into the sun
i'm lonely
but it doesn't feel like i'm alone
you got to keep on moving
yes im'talking bout to groovin
keep on moving
let's talk about love
eliminate the hate
give what you can
all my life
i've been waiting for something
all i try leads to nothing
love will find a way
love will find me

Waiting
03:24
|

Waiting
waiting watching dying
killing is the way to take care
joking liying disbelieving
killing is the the way to be prepared
do you know what's wrong and what's right
do you feel the way the fear creeps up at night
in your dreams you see a light at the end of the road
in reality you feel the heavy load
what is the truth of beeing
breathing touching feeling
Love me leave me hurt me
like it us to be
get down and kneel and pray
for your savior tomorrow
will be the executioner today

Set My Soul
i've never met a girl like her before
she's so kind she's the one i adore
have you seen this girl walking down the street
i'm in love from my head to my feet
she sets my soul on fire
can't believe it's true
i don't know what to do
she looked at me
but i can't look at her
dizzy in my head i ran to the door
she makes me blind i fell on the floor
have you seen this girl walking down the street
i'm in love from my head to my feet
i've never met a girl like her before
she's so kind she's the one i adore
she sets my soul on fire
can't believe it's true
i don't know what to do
she looked at me
but i can't look at her
dizzy in my head i ran to the door
she makes me blind i fell on the floor

Lover Man
oooh can you see, love reign over me
i'm your lover man, yes i used to be
oooh my obsession will never ends
take me down, down to the lovers land
ooh electrified but i'm in need
wounded in love but let it bleed
i'm tore down, the sun won't shine today
the rain, the rain tears me away
help me baby
help me please
take my hand
help me baby
help me please
take me to the lovers land
let me be your lover man
i'll do what i can
let me be your lover man
i'll love till the end

You Got To Live
ooh woman
forgive me for my sins
i know i didn't deserve you
i know what it means
i can't be the one
the one that you need
you asked me what's the matter
ooh my soul is shattered
my heart is breaking
cause i got to leave you
my soul is aching
cause i'll always love you
i'll always told you, you have to find your way
you've got to find your peace of mind
You said, you can't be, be without me
but that will bring you down
you'll never be free
blackness will crush your soul
it's always the same
the same with the ones i love
oh my love
you got to live

Demons
i got demons inside
my mind is not a part of me
i'm freezing inside
my thoughts are cold and dark
i'm evil inside
no matter what you say
you better not let me get in to your world
my heart is bleeding and you know
i'm cursed no love can grow
you always brought
me back to live but now there's no turning back
you better not let me get in to your world
All i'll do
won't solve the troubles i'm in
only you
could understand
how i feel or what i need
but i don't want you to help me

The Dues Winterthur, Switzerland
A long time ago, Rock ’n’ Roll was a promise and a way to rebel against the conformities of society. Rock ’n’ Roll was
revolution. Rock’n’Roll was freedom. The Dues from Winterthur bring you back to exactly this time.
The Dues call their music Heavy Rhythm ’n’ Blues, and with this expression they hit the nail.
Straight into R’n’R paradise!
