Don’t apologizewords & music: Jo SchultzViviane Kudo: vocalsJo Schultz: guitarAndreas Müller: double bass

Funny howYou came to my roomThe flowers need no waterThe desk is clean enough

Funny thatYou, just youDon’t know what to sayRemember you and IWe used to talk all the time

Chorus: Don’t apologizeDon’t explainDon’t try to make an effortDon’t complainYes, we always said soAnd we’ll find a wayBut not todayNot today

So leave me alone Leave me alone for nowIt’s not that I don’t want youBut for now It will be betterWhen you’re gone

Last night words & music: Jo SchultzViviane Kudo: vocalsJo Schultz: guitars, mandolin, percussionMartin Schmeing: Hammond organAndreas Müller: double bassUli Daumann: drums

I was allways rightAnd she was allways wrongIt’s simply the truth that I preferBut, baby, there’s no argueing with her

So if you’re going to San FranciscoDon’t linger on in St. Luis ObispoDon’t hang up in a small town bar Underneath a small town star

Chorus: Last night we were twoAnd now we are threeMe darling my little hangover and me

I was allways wrongAnd she was allways wrightI didn’t worry about the detailsShe didn’t worry ’bout the night

So if you’re have to stay in St. Luis ObispoDon’t even think about St. FranciscoDon’t hang up in a small town bar Underneath a small town star

Take my sleep and kisswords & music: Jo Schultz & Viviane KudoViviane Kudo: vocalsJo Schultz: acoustic guitars, percussion

Can you hear the girlSingin’ along the moonIt’s me, I am happy’Cause I’m drunken like you

Chorus: It’s a stepFrom the roofTake it as it isAnd as long as we are fallingTake my sleep and kiss

Among all those peopleWe are alone at the barYour eyes are to shine (shine, shine)Chained to mine, mine (mine, mine)

If honest people pray they sayGod will send them sleepBut we are taintedWe are tainted

You don’t have towords & music: Jo SchultzViviane Kudo: vocalsJo Schultz: acoustic guitars, mandolin, ukulele

Let‘s go out and have some funDoesn‘t matter whereDoesn’t matter what we doAs long as it‘s just Me and you

Chorus: You don’t have to say I love you foreverYou don’t have to tell me whySun comes upSun comes downAnd you don’t have to swear anything’Cause you don’t, you don’t, You don’t have to lie

Let’s be together for a whileFind out what’s it all about And before putting up a fenceLet‘s see what happensWhen we dance

Bigger at nightwords & music: Viviane Kudo & Jo SchultzViviane Kudo: vocalsJo Schultz: acoustic guitars, slide guitar, percussion

First we clashedAnd now we severFirst it was now And now it is never

First we whisperedNow we shoutFirst it was gentle And now it is loud

Chorus: Love always seems to be Bigger at nightYour eyes seem to sparkleIn the half-moon lightLove always seems to be Bigger at nightAnd nothing turns out allright At longer sight

Your face, the things you said, your hairWith you at my sight - would I care?But here I am, dead and outCan’t stop thinking about

If you leave, maybeMaybe you’re hereForeverIf you stay, maybeMaybe you’re goneForever maybe

I’m your killerwords & music: Viviane Kudo & Jo SchultzViviane Kudo: vocalsJo Schultz: guitars, mandolin, percussionMartin Schmeing: Hohner Pianet

This is me I’m countingPatterns on the wallA love is brokenThe night’s slowly fadingMy heart is emptyWith a few words spokenYou don’t want to talkYou won’t listen I’m afraidI thought there was hope But I am too late

Chorus: I was your loverI was your leaverI’m your looserYour killer

Can’t start againCan’t go backAnd make things rightSo I feel stupid to call youAt the end of the nightAll what’s left to doIs to say I’m sorryAnd disappearDisappear from your side

Work undonewords & music: Viviane Kudo & Jo SchultzViviane Kudo: vocalsJo Schultz: acoustic guitars, percussionMartin Schmeing: accordion, pianoUli Dauman: udu, triangle

I felt sheltered in your double bedWith your arms around my burning headI used to cry when me made loveLike Juliet in that songI was walking through the sticky snowAll alone, just did not knowWhat to doWhere to go

Chorus: All my days Had been like work undoneAll I wanted Set with the winter sunIn the darkest afternoonLive had just begunLike new work undone

Spying through the clouded glassI watched your family, you came lastYou were singing alongA Christmas songI will keep you in my mindKeep you in my heartBut now let me outOut of the snow, let me go

Nobody knows that but youwords & music: Viviane Kudo & Jo SchultzViviane Kudo: vocals, violin, erhu violinJo Schultz: guitars, vocals

The radio’s speaking a language, I can‘t understandThe trees, they are passing While you, you‘re driving With your eyes on the mapCome the night and in a bedroom for twoI fall into sleep, into sleep beside you

Chorus: Whenever I‘m watching, Watching the waves A tear blurs my viewNobody, nobody, nobody knows, Knows that but you

Morning comes, washes through your hairMorning sun hangs shivery in the airThe sun it will shine again and we, We will be again Down there at any white shore

Nine o’clockWords & Music: Jo SchultzViviane Kudo: vocalsJo Schultz: guitars, banjo, ukulele, percussion

Hangin’ out all day longPlayin’ my guitarMy lover comes at nine to meNine o’clock is far

What to do all day longUnless I watched to seeThe clockhands trying hard to bringNine o’clock to me

Chorus: Oh, I’m hereTo be loved by youI’m not made for workingI am made for you

Drivin´ through the streets of townMusic in my carIt’s not even half past fiveSo nine o’clock’s still far What to do all day longUnless I watched to seeThe clockhands trying hard to bringNine o’clock to me

Six o’clock in my roomSitcoms on TVWithin three little hoursThe clock brings nine to me

A drive in the countrywords & music: Jo SchultzViviane Kudo: vocals, percussionJo Schultz: guitars, percussionMartin Schmeing: Fender Rhodes

Yes, I’m sitting next to the guyHe doesn’t like me much it seemsIt’s Friday night I feel allrightThere’s a party afoot at the bar

He doesn’t like the way I’m talkingDoesn’t like me much it seemsBut each time when we’re running intoAll along he’s looking at me

Chorus: How about a driveA drive in the countryHow about some parkingIn lonely lanes

He doesn‘t like the way I‘m jokingHe doesn‘t like me much it seemsBut each time when we‘re running intoAll along he‘s looking at me

Oh yes I‘m sitting next to that guy He doesn‘t like me much it seemsDispleasing him that badly That he can‘t stop Looking at me

Just like youmusic: Viviane Kudo & Jo Schultzwords: Jo SchultzViviane Kudo: vocalsJo Schultz: guitarAndreas Müller: double bass

Long time no seeGlad to hear from you againHow goes the world with youHow are you my friend

Hello my dearTell me what can I doFeels good to have you here Give me a clue

Be sure I knowHow it feelsI know

Chorus: ’Cause I’m just like youJust like youYou know that I amJust like you

Come inside my roomThis is my new flatCome inside this houseYou won’t regret

Sit down at the tableSit down and talk to meUntil it feels at least likeOur stories do agree
