1.Skin-deep
I like the shallow water
I like the open dell
And I prefer the secret
That I'm allowed to tell
I like the happy ending
I like the flying start
And I prefer the carefree
To be light at heart
I don't believe
There's seething under the surface
I don't believe
There're answers behind the obvious
And honestly I speak
With my toungue in my cheek
Beauty is only skin-deep
I like the sugarcoated
I don't think that Nick is old
And I believe that all
That glitter must be gold
I swim tabove the water
Naivety is my friend
The water of forgetfulness
Allows me to pretend
2.Pillory-like
She roams restlessly about
She wears her sweater inside-out
She's bewildered and led astray
She brought the wrong books for school today
Her black umbrella is opened up
She hasn't noticed the rain has stopped
She talks with people who aren't there
She looks through glasses she doesn't wear
Like melted chocolate ice
Like withered edelweiss
She's winged and yet she flies
Like a naked clown lacking her disguise
She is grateful for the clouceur
But the prize is not for her
She's laid open to attack
When the door locks behind her back
As she waves her magic wand
there's a whisper of despond
She is painfully unaware
That the rabbit isn't there
3.Goldilocks
Goldilocks sitting in the babe bear's chair
Doubt doesn't ever occur
Goldilocks' eating all the baby bear's porridge
Thinking it's made for her
Goldilocks' sleeping in the baby bear's bed
Simply because she's tired
Goldilocks unaware of dangersahead
Her only guide's desire
A pure belief
All free from detrimental swirl
Colpletely natural naive
She is the centre of the world
Goldilocks' running through the woods tonight
As she runs her locks are getting darker
Goldilocks' running with a riper sight
Goldilocks won't ever go visiting no bears again
4.Airing
Drapes drawn aside
And doors open wide
So the draught in the room
Clears away your perfume
Your glass is washed
And your music is hushed
I remove every trace
Of your cold embrace
Shed your winter coat
And sow the seeds of vernal sun
Melt water will flow
And irrigate spouts of zest to come
Sandals on feet
Hapscotch boards on the street
And the first ice cream cone
Means at last you're gone
When you're giving in
That's the sure sign of spring
'Seasons cycle' I smile
You'll be back in a while
5.Never mind
You know better than I
What is strenghtened, what dissolves
You know better than I
What your point of view involves
You know better than I
What can make you satisfied
You know better than I
What you really feel inside
You know better than I
What your mirror image craves
You know better than I
What your self-opinion waives
I know better than you
What refusal has brought on
I know better than you
Sacrifice I've undergone
So this is all you can provide
Just a little bit of thought, little bit of time
Never mind
For me to bear this just won't do
Just a little bit of care, little bit of love
Little bit of you
Never mind
You know better than I
Your order of priority
You know better than I
What you would forgo for me
I know better than you
My intention of my deed
I know better than you
What's undue and what I need
6.Closer
Closer
Come a little closer
Lend an ear to my secretive, whispering, quiet word
Closer
Still a little closer
What i tell you must in no case go unheard
Delicate, delicate
Clandestine, devoted, forbidden sense
Intimate, intimate
Mysterious, mutual confidence
Closer
Just a little closer
Don't worry, there's no danger, no offence
Closer
Still a little closer
And you'll see my message is simply self-evidence
7.Irony
What is good when the sun is shining
Is that it won't remain
Every cloud has a silver lining
But I prefer the rain
Leaving loopholes is a state of mind
To never give one's all
Everywinter has a spring behind
But I prefer the fall
When God closes a door he opens a window
When joy embraces your heart it cultivates sorrow
This is the beauty of irony
What makes the foxglove wonderful
Is the virulent sap
Every lamb is dyed-in-the-wool
But I prefer the crap
What is boring in Easy Street Town
The lack of obstacles in the way
Every stair leads you up or down
But I prefer to stay
8.Stools and rules
What is a present without the wrapping paper
What is a hiding place that's been exposed
What is a clown that doesn't cut a caper
What is a song that's never been composed
What is a book without enclosing cover
What is a letter written with no ink
What is adultery with no secret lover
What is a glass for one who cannot drink
What happens between the two stools
That doesn't fit in the pigeonhole
Is it there the exceptions that prove the rules
Define the things beyond control
What is a mirror that breaks into a thousand pieces
And seven years of bad luck if you've never had such
What is Virgin Mary if she didn't give birth to Jesus
What is a stripper that refuses to undress
What is a pipe dream without a future chapter
What is nostalgia without memories of the past
What is 'cops and robbers' if no one is the captor
What is permanence that doesn't last
9.Tomorrow
This is goodbye
No wonder why
Life will go on tomorrow
Books will be sealed
Hearts will be healed
We will forget our sorrow
This is how we survive
How we know we're alive
Cope with pain of no return
This is the end
Nothing to mend
Life will go on tomorrow
