Let It Burn 03:17
lyrics
buy track
life is short, and then you drown what goes around just goes around you'd better make a bliss of it and live every single day like this is it let it burn, let it burn there is no other lesson i would wanna learn let it burn, let it bleed there is no other book that i would wanna read there is no tomorrow, no yesterday only today, that is what i say there was no morning, there is no later only this, and nothing greater why you go Iraklio, are you sick? you're going to the hospital, i would think what do you need, what do you lack? you know there is no way back

Visit 03:06
lyrics
buy track
wouldn't it be nice to pay you a visit even for an hour, even for a minute it's been too long, it's insane wouldn't it be nice to see you again i'll ride the train, i'll fly the plane get off through the wrong door again merrily i will get to you at last some place between the future and the past just thinking of you makes me smile good memories stacked up in a pile hard times, hard times keeping up with your drunken rhymes hoochie coochie hoochie coochie wah wah hoochie coochie hoochie coochie wah wah hoochie coochie hoochie coochie wah wah hoochie coochie wah wah wah even when the sky has darkened it's sure gonna be like nothing happened in the sun or in the rain it's gonna be nice to see you again

You Never Let Me Down 04:18
lyrics
buy track
you never let me down there isn't anyone like you, i've been looking around from bar to bar, from town to town but you never let me down i heard the song at the little cafe we danced and sang along all the way then i got the record, and it didn't have that sound but you never let me down i told Thanassis i'd be waiting here i had four rakis and one beer and he was nowhere to be found but you never let me down i voted once too many, and it was no good the man never does the best he could there is no agreement, no common ground but you never let me down

Tea In China 02:42
lyrics
buy track
let me tell you something romantic i like it real, i like it authentic i like the way you drive your car it says a lot, it says a lot i like the way you drive your car it says a lot about who you are about time you made a move major or minor it's only love you've gotta prove the rest is tea in China i'll give you the very best wine it'll help you clear your mind there is really nothing better it's now, it's now there is really nothing better it's now, and not later give me just a little sign a hug, a kiss of some kind with your hands or with your feet the rest is raki, the rest is raki with your hands or with your feet the rest is raki in Crete

Yavas Yavas 04:05
lyrics
buy track
slow pace, no fuss, no brass slow pace, yavas yavas i like the taste of fresh lotus i know it's no way to stay focused it takes you some place it takes you at the right slow pace "something something", i was singing some contraption started ringing somebody else's, none of mine i had the lotus, i had the wine orange, like clementine so delicious, oh so fine solitude is critical pleasure is simple
8.
One Clue 03:48
lyrics
buy track
one clue, i need one clue to turn my feet and thoughts to one clue, i need one clue that'll lead me back to you ten to three, i went out of the flat nauseous, dizzy and uneasy tiptoeing through the streets like a cat without a song in my head to please me the sun got hotter, my undershirt wet there wasn't any music in the air i wished i'd known where i would get but i knew i had to get somewhere i walked along the water for a while whistling, just like that... with nothing but your features on my mind and then i went back to the flat

I Was A Sailor 02:57
lyrics
buy track
i was a sailor on a boat always trying to keep it afloat now i'm still working in the drink but not the kind that you would think go your way and eat your greens you'll be growing as fast as beans i'll be here puffing my blues and tying up the laces of my shoes i was a sailor on a cargo ship i learned a different language on every trip now all i can speak is Greek to anyone around who wants to speak waves are singing their song and the wind is howling along it helps me accept that some of us have left

I Love You So Much 02:58
lyrics
buy track
i love you so much, the love is still in me i love you so much, so much it's killing me i wish the music sounded just a little bit better it gives me the creeps when i was hoping to stay longer she's gonna bite my ears off if i let her take my drink and make it stronger they painted angels on the ceiling what is that supposed to mean i'm getting a mellow funny feeling like i'm in someone else's dream meet me at the corner of the street in five minutes or so i'll search the bin before we meet you never know wap choowah deewah deewee, wap choowah deewah deewah wap choowah deewah deewee, wap choowah deewah deewah
