Chances

Soap opera based around a family which is transformed when they win a large amount of money. Early episodes deal with the effect this fortunate event has on them. The later episodes have rather bizarre plot-lines, which involve (among other things) neo-Nazis, Triad gangsters, ghosts and carnivorous plants.

At times in life
You'll connect with some
And some will have to move on
At times you'll feel
The need to fly
And fly though you may hurt someone
You were there
Your chances were clear
Choices were made in spite
Of times that were spent
Feelings were mixed
Amongst your support base
A heart was lost
But a heart found its place
This is a recipe of life
Made up of fragments of peoples
Peace and peoples vibes
Well its each now to their own

At first, it was clear
It was easy to see
'Till you're cursed and reversed
And you turned it on me
Like a book, like a cover
You were easy to read
Like a clock, like a mother
You were curious and free
Starred in a movie
That was all about me
You're twisted in the end
In other far away trip
Everybody's in the castle, faster sleep
Wake up, stupid beaulty
No time to be weak
You take chances with me 3x
You're less lealty
Underneath the covers that you wear on a sleeve
Is a time and a place
Everything that you live
Trying to be clever
Isn't pretty for me
Suffocate in lone and give me room to be
Stopped in a movie that is all about me
Deep in a picture than
Skipping a dream
I thought you said you never had the mesure for me
Get up, it's time to leave
You take chances with me 3x
You're less lealty
(Loose your fizzy heart)

When all have lost faith in you
'cos the dice you threw didn't show your number
And they all think your winning days are through
I'll be there to pick you up.
Your confidence mustn't start to drop
I'll take my chance 'cos I have faith in you.
So spin the wheel
call your number - lucky my stakes on you
We may lose but the game we must play and it's true.
Life's the dealer and your cards I cannot see
Out all on earth I'll take my chances on you.
Take my chances on you - take my chances on you
Take my chances on you - take my chances on you
When all your so called friends used to call
Forget your number 'cos they all think
You're a star fallen from the sky.
I'll be there right by your side my love
For you cannot be denied I'll see it through
'cos I believe in you.
So roll the dice
call your number
lucky I'm there with you.
We may lose but the game we must play
And it's true lifes kicked you down
And your heart is filled with pain
But of all on earth Ill take my chances on you.
Take my chances on you - take my chances on you . . .
So roll the dice call your number
. . .
Take my chances on you - take my chances on you . . .
'cos I believe in you
yeah.

There's a chance you will be there
I'd like to know the truth, I'll find it out somehow
The chances aren't too strong
A chance you will be there, please be there alone
Help me speak of love, chances aren't enough
Ones too good to miss, chances aren't too strong
A chance is all there is
There's a chance you will be there
Wondering what to do, how to play my role
I'll leave it up to you
If I disguise my smile, it gives too much away
What if we can't speak, what then shall I say?
Don't you be too long, something has gone wrong
The chances are all gone
There's a chance you will be there
Wondering what to do, how to play my role
I'll leave it up to you
If I disguise my smile, it gives too much away
What if we can't speak, what then shall I say?
Don't you be too long, something has gone wrong

This is the time to die
I'm someone on whom to rely
Chances come and chances go
This is letting go
I feel the tightening of the dawn
The creation of somenthing I've sung
No one goes back 'cause they're all there
Are you everywhere
Becoming who you think you are
In order to do your part
In the multi-dimensional scheme
You'll know what I mean
This is the time to die
I'm not someone on whom to rely
Chances come and chances go
This is letting you know
I'm almost where I'll never be
This cutting off of fate like string
A line that falls to the floor

Take all your chances while you can
You never know when they'll pass you by
Like a sum the mathematician cannot solve
Like me trying my hardest to explain
It's all about your cries and kisses
Those first steps that I can't calculate
I need some more of you to take me over
Take me over
If I had the chance to start again
Then you would be the one I'd come and find
Like a poster of Berlin on my wall
Maybe there's a chance our walls might fall
It's all about your cries and kisses
Those first steps that I can't calculate
I need some more of you to take me over
It's all about your cries and kisses
Those first steps that I can't calculate
I need some more of you to take me over
I know I because I can't calculate
How to respect you
How to start again
How to start again
How to start again

Chances are when said and done
Who'll be the lucky ones who make it all the way?
Though you say I could be your answer
Nothing lasts forever no matter how it feels today
Chances are we'll find a new equation
Chances roll away from me
Chances are all they hope to be
Don't get me wrong I'd never say never
'Cause though love can change the weather
No act of God can pull me away from you
I'm just a realistic man, a bottle filled with shells and sand
Afraid to love beyond what I can lose when it comes to you
And though I see us through, yeah
Chances are we'll find two destinations
Chances roll away from me
Still chances are more than expectations
The possibilities over me
It's a fight with two to one, lay your money on the sun
Until you crash what have you done? Is there a better bet than love?
What you are is what you breathe, you gotta cry before you sing
Chances, chances
Chances lost are hope's torn up pages
Maybe this time
Chances are we'll be the combination
Chances come and carry me
Chances are waiting to be taken, and I can see
Chances are the fascinations
Chances won't escape from me

Hear my call,
here and everywhere
I've been walking the streets in despair.
One more fire turns a shade of grey,
one more tear is lost in the rain.
And I say that I love you.
I say that I need you.
Baby I leave you a sign of desire.
No shadow will haunt you,
no heart will desert you,
no one will hurt you,
no space or no time.
Got to got you got to got to
take your chances on me,
like the river will lead
the water to the sea,
take on me,
take your chances on me.
Don't ever let it be.
Don't ever let it be.
There's a night
when you close your eyes
around a dream
that shines like the sun.
Everyone knows it's beautiful,
tell me why you want to dream it alone.
And I say that I love you,
I say that I need you,
baby I leave you
the lines in my palm.
No darkness will get you,
no heart will desert you,
nothing can hurt you
or do you any harm.

(Happy song for Mom)
Hey lady, I want to thank you for being so honest
and genuine when we speak about feelings.
Now maybe we have more than we figured,
innocent thoughts that trigger romance,
I'll take my chances.
Here under these stars I feel waves crash.
Here inside my car Erica is unmasked.
Hey Baby, I want to thank you for seeing what is
honest and genuine in our mutual feelings.
Now maybe it's no more than we figured.
Isn't it hearts that trigger romance?

Take all your chances while you can
You never know when they'll pass you by
Like a sum the mathematician cannot solve
Like me trying my hardest to explain
It's all about your cries and kisses
Those first steps that I can't calculate
I need some more of you to take me over
Take me over
If I had the chance to start again
Then you would be the one I'd come and find
Like the poster of Berlin on my wall
Maybe there's a chance our walls might fall
It's all about your cries and kisses
Those first steps that I can't calculate
I need some more of you to take me over
It's all about your cries and kisses
Those first steps that I can't calculate
I need some more of you to take me over
I know I because I cant calculate
How to respect you
How to start again
How to start again
How to start again

Are you satisfied with everything the way it is
Are you stuck in the conformity of minding your own biz
Does a confrontation make you want to turn and run
and do you think about the things you'd like to have undone
Are you scared of looking back at all the things you've said
and do you keep the words you'd like to say inside your head
well nothing changes by itself without some kind of clash
and there's always gonna be some barriers to smash
Are you scared to be, scared of what you see
Are you scared to change, scared to rearrange
There's a chance that you never take the chances you get
If you never move ahead you'll keep on looking back
the only thing you're doing is just filling out the cracks
Another coat of artificial paint won't change a thing
unless the whole foundation gets a brand new colouring
What is there to lose except some insecurity
that you replace with faith to not be scared of what you see
'cos every little risk you take breaks down another wall
the biggest chance that you can take is just to let it fall
Are you scared to be, scared of what you see
Are you scared to change, scared to rearrange
There's a chance that you never take the chances you get
