Lyrics: You live your life in Black and White Don’t matter if you are wrong or right You live your life in Black and White Need to live and let live Something’s gotta give You’re all over the shop Got to know when to stop When you need a good plan Get in on the car jam Jam it all night Let your hair down Get it all out Show us your hand Do the car jam Do the car jam You dress yourself in Black and White Don’t matter if it is day or night You dress yourself in Black and White Not a shade of a doubt Someone’s gonna wipe out When you’re in the dock You need a bit of rock When you’re out of junk You’ll need a bit of funk Jam it all night Let your hair down Get it all out Do what you can Do the car jam Do the car jam You see the world in Black and White Don’t matter if – I am in or out You see the world in Black and White You’re a girl on the lookout Someone’s gonna cop out When we’re in a deadlock You’ll need a bit of rock When we gotta scram You’ll need a bit of jam Jam it all night Let your hair down Get it all out Play out the band Do the car jam Do the car jam Jam it all night Let your hair down Funk it all up Do what you can Do the car jam Do the car jam © no mad 1991-2015

Just Another Love Story 05:15

Lyrics: I can see in your eyes The deepness of the sea I can feel on your skin The coolness of the night wind I thought I caught in your hair All the scents of the city But what I held in your hand Was the hand of another man Hand of another man Take a walk Outside Have a talk with another guy Go bait another fish in the sea Fly above Another land Make love with another man There’s more than you can actually see Oh it’s a funny little story That’s running on empty I wish I could be sorry It’s just another love story But each time I’m feeling blue I fall into Some freaking view Over you Over you If I could find in your mind The secret of your pain I’d just wanta rewind The course of your memory Curl into a spoon Hum our little tune Remember how we begun But now that we are done Now that we are done Take a break Outside Make’ out with another guy Don’t wait to do it all again Find a boy Another face Another love In another place See if it tastes just the same Oh It’s a funny little number A scratch on the bumper I wish I could be sorry It’s just another love story But each time You cross my mind I feel so blue I’m in a bind Over you Over you Take a breath Outside Make love with another guy Just try to live it all again Have a dance Another trend Another bounce and another bend Another trance, another bend Another dance, another bend Another bounce, another bend Another dance, another bend Another bounce, another bend But each night I think of you I can’t fight Feeling so blue Over you Over you Copyright © no mad 1990 – © no mad 2015

Lyrics: When I’ll be gone to the other side When I’ll be gone for another ride Will you still wanta call my name? Will you still remember who I am? You know I love you Donna Don’t want to leave you now You know I love you don’ya I’ll never let you down I’ll never let you down When I’ll be gone to the other side When I’ll be gone on a little cloud When you miss me, will you bear the pain? When you see me will you feel the same? You know I love you Donna Don’t want to leave you now You know I love you don’ya Love you so much I could die Love you so much I could die When I’ll be gone to the other side When I’ll be gone on a final ride Day and night, I’ll always call your name You and I we’ll always be the same I love you love you, you know Don’t want to leave you now I’ll never let you down Love you so much I could die When you’ll be gone to the other side When you’ll be gone on a final ride © no mad 2000, © no mad 2015

Lyrics: Ann… Anna Pretty Anna Closing your eyes Anna Pretty Anna What do you see? When you’re waiting for a message But there’s nothing on the screen How d’you feel? When the sun Comes along Drives your pain Away There’s a sign In the distance And the sky Seems to say: Anna Can you hear me Anna Anna Can you read me Anna Hold on for a better day Somewhere million miles away Won’t you say? And… there’s nothing on the screen Ann … no one coming when you scream Anna Pretty Anna What do you want? Anna Pretty Anna Where do you go? When you’re staring at the window And there’s no one coming-by How d’s it feel? When the wind Comes along Blows your mind Away There’s a voice In the silence And the clouds Seem to say: Anna Can you hear me Anna Anna Are you with me Anna Anna hang on to your dream Only you know what it means Don’t you see? And … nothing coming when you shout Ann… there’s nothing coming out Anna Can you hear me Anna Anna Are you with me Anna Who is watching from the window While you’re washed up on the sand Can’t you say? Who’s at the end of your rainbow? Won’t you let me understand … and… Ann… Copyright © no mad 1989 © - no mad 2016 ©

Sweet Loneliness 05:55

Lyrics: The air is so still it’s uneasy The sea is too calm to be true The earth is so quiet it could have stopped rotating I know there’s something ticking I didn’t know what I was missing Something so deep to my existence I felt so low that I was gasping For any semblance of your presence Sweet Loneliness, my old friend I’ve come to be with you again You are my peace, my guardian angel I’ll be with you until the end And I’ll be faithful to my feelings And I will never talk in vain I will go back to the beginning And I will start it all again The air is so still it’s unnerving The night is too quiet to be true The sky is too bright to be blue I know there’s something coming Why did you have to go so soon It’s like you left an empty room You filled my life with your absence Pronounced an unfinished sentence Sweet loneliness, my old friend I’ve come to be with you again You are my peace, my consolation And I’ll be with you till the end I gotta be tough, I gotta be brave I’ll show the stuff that I am made And from the depth of my existence I will scream and shout again No one’s ever reached the horizon No one’s ever touched the Big Blue No one’s ever hurt for no reason Oh will I ever be with you? Everywhere I see the evidence Of love foregone but not forgotten Did you even think of the consequence Oh I feel beat but I’m not beaten Sweet Loneliness, my old friend I’ve come to be with you again You are my peace, my consolation Oh please be mine until the end I took the blows, I know the pain And I’ve been driven ‘round the bend But from the lows of my existence I will rise to fight again Will you forgive my impertinence How could you leave without a trace? How can I spare you my persistence Until I stare you in the face? My loneliness, my old friend I need to be with you again Be with me in heaven or hell Be mine until the end of time My heart feels battered, ‘ts like warfare I’m battled-scarred but I’m not scared And from the trenches of existence I will fight another day … Copyright no mad 1995 © - no mad 2015 ©

Lyrics: Shadows in the dark Making love through the night From the depth of your heart Oh, won’t you remember These lovers at first sight Who had to come together In motions in black Dress yourself in black On a desert island Where the sea is silent And feelings come in deeper Call emotions back From when we were together In motions in black If you wanta be Anything to me I’ll take no other feeling Than your sentiment of love And if you want a chat Why don’t we talk it over Motions in black Flying in the sky Walking under water In the ocean light With feelings running deeper Calls emotions back From when we were together In motions in black Copyright no mad 1985

Lyrics: You are drumming up another war Well you know, we heard it all before Is it even worth fighting for? What is going on, aren’t we human anymore? Love is in the air, love is in the flow Love is everywhere, everywhere you go Got to look around, got to put it down What is going on, why can’t we all get along? The other night I had a vision That maybe life is just a dream That we redeem with our illusions C’se the way we seem is not the way we feel We’re all son of the World On this I’ll give you my word We’ve been waiting too long Why can’t we … all get along You were beatin’ up another man Was the law on your side of the road? What’s the color ‘f his blood on your hand? What is going wrong? Ain’t you human anymore? Love is in the air, ‘n every bit of you Love is everywhere, ‘n everything you do Got to stop the lies, got no alibis Life is moving on, why don’t we all get along The other day I thought we’re all the same Maybe you’ll say it’s just a dream But Baby I’m not playin’ another game ‘Cause the way I seem is not the way I feel We’re all Made in the World Got labelled when we were born One man (he) had the last word Can’t we all get along Can we all get along Love is in the air, love is in the flow Love is everywhere, everywhere you go Got to look around, got to put it down I’ve wanted all along, that we all get along Love is in the air, ‘n every bit of you Love is everywhere, ‘n everything you do Got to stop the lies, got no alibies Life is moving on, why don’t we all get along Copyright no mad 1991 © - non mad 2015 ©

Lyrics: One day Betty went to the City Her play ready to make a lotta money She thought she could count on lots of charm But she lost her red cheeks in a matter of weeks Down Town She wanta live Down Town She’s not a bitch or a witch I realized She’s just another human being She’s not a bitch or a witch I realized She’s just another human being She’s just a human being Where are the angels going? Just a human being I see an angel falling Down Town Betty dreamt up to be a star But she ended up behind bar(s) She knew all the boys she tried all the toys She was on the streets in a matter of weeks Down Town She wanta live Down Town She’s not a bitch or a witch I realized She’s just another human being She’s not a bitch or a witch I realized She’s just another human being She’s just a human being Where are the angels going? Just a human being I hear an angel crying Down Town The night life sucks without the bucks She started to freak in a matter of weeks She stood on a bridge she wanted to drown But Betty stepped down she wanta live Down Town To live it up Down Town She got picked up by a truck It wasn’t James Dean but he was the real deal They found love in a parking lot Betty finally got to live it up Down Town Down Town She’s not a bitch or a witch I realized She’s just another human being She’s not a bitch or a witch I realized She’s just another human being She’s just a human being Where are the angels going? Just a human being I see an angel falling Just a human being I hear an angel crying Just a human being I hear an angel calling Down Town Copyright no mad 1984 © - non mad 2015 ©

Mental Revolution 03:46

Lyrics: You might argue we succumbed to temptation And we are having to own up As we admitted to in our confession In fact we were just warming up Message of redemption Going to the population D’we have your attention Ready for a mental revolution Like a fish in the sea Be who you wanta be Like a bird in the sky Fly where you wanta fly Like a man on the moon Take a step for your freedom Get a piece of the action You can choose your destiny… You can choose your destiny… You can choose your destination Here’s to all the kids in every nation It’s a mental liberation Join the celebration Ready for a revelation What you own will own you What you leave will love you What you want will avoid you So what you’re gonna do? Don’t let’em interfere Oh live without a fear No more condum-nation Love without premeditation You might argue we succumbed to temptation Our contrition shows that we do As we acknowledged to in our confession ‘r ambition’s to get rid of you It’s a Mental revolution Blowing your imagination Hear the word of wisdom Can’t you hear, can’t you hear the cries of freedom? Here’s a piece of my mind I want peace of mind I want to live my dreams I know you know what it means I’ll never be on a loan Now you leave me alone I wanta follow my passion I won’t consume my destiny … I won’t consume my destiny … Won’t consume with moderation Here’s to the Heads of The United Nations Message of exasperation Hand in your resignations Ready for a mental revolution All your contradictions We’re not accountable Your abominations We’re not responsible We are free and equal It’s not criminal We reject your fables It’s our instinct of preservation Message of redemption Going to the population D’we have your attention Ready for a mental revolution Copyright no mad 1990 © - no mad 2015 ©

Lyrics: Tonight, the air is so quiet Can you hear the beat Deep in my heart Tonight, I want you to know Wherever you go I’ll be there for you Tonight, Under the moonlight Under your window A voice in the dark Tonight, Turn on the light Show me a sign I’ll be standing here for you I’ll be waiting, every hour of the night I’ll be staying until the morning, and the next day too I’ll be there, in the rain, in the cold I’ll be standing, until I’m falling, I’ll be there for you Tonight, made up my mind I see the stars aligned Deep in my heart Come out, Open your window Gimme a chance I got some’ to say to you I know I’ve been a fool but now ‘m out in the cold I’ll stick around waiting for you to land Oh like a stone stuck on the moon I’ll be waiting for a sign in the cold I’ll be standing by your side, until I grow old I’ll be there every day, every night I’ll be staying, for a lifetime, if you want me to I’ll be there for you Copyright no mad 1986 © - no mad 2015-2017 ©
