Anna, you come and ask me girl
To set you free, girl
You say he loves you more than me
So I will set you free
Go with him, go with him
Anna, girl, before you go now
I want you to know now
That I still love you so
But if he loves you more, go with him
All of my life I've been searching for a girl
To love me like I love you oh, now
But every girl I've ever had breaks my heart
And leaves me sad, what am I
What am I suppose to do oh, oh, oh .....
Anna, just one more thing, girl
You give back your ring to me
And I will set you free, go with him
All of my life I've been searching for a girl
To love me like I love you
Cause let me tell you now
But every girl I've ever had breaks my heart
And leaves me sad, what am I
What am I suppose to do oh, oh, oh .....
Anna, just one more thing, girl
You give back your ring to me
And I will set you free,
Go with him, go with him
You can go with him, girl, go with him
Jack is in the corner
The dish is with the spoon
The sheep is in the meadow
The cow is on the moon
But I am here with you and I believe
There's no other place I'd rather be
And a promise not to leave you
Is a promise I can keep
You're my muse, you're my rhyme
You're the fire warming this heart of mine
When you hear me say, "I love you"
Anna, do you know how much I do?
So I watch you from a distance
Getting lost within your world
You pretend to be a princess
As you flutter and you twirl
Fragile as the flower in your hair
Dancing in your castle, unaware
That a single day without you
Would be more than I could bear
You're my muse, you're my rhyme
You're the fire warming this heart of mine
When you hear me say, "I love you"
Anna, do you know how much I do?
Little Anna, little star
That is what you really are
Cross my heart and hope to die
You're the apple of my eye
You're my muse, you're my rhyme
You're the fire warming this heart of mine
When you hear me say, "I love you"
Anna, do you know how much, know how much I do?
I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
Anna stand beside me lift your eyes to the window look and see
Anna let me hold you and for the thousandth time Anna lean on me
Anna see the cornfield see how summer's brought a million ears so fine
Anna the stalks are browning they're singing the last verse of summer time
Anna childhood sweetheart a freckle face but like to rope and play
Beautiful air of silver you've been mine for fifty years today
Thank you for the wonders for the joy you've caused my life to be
Thanks dear for the giving sharing your life with the likes of me
Anna thank you darling for our children bless them every one
Anna turns out the light
Sits down alone
The echo of his foot on the stair
Turning to stone
No, he didn't take very much
Just your flesh from the bone
It's gonna be hard for a while
Wer sht dann, dat ich dich noch vermess un
Ich hing nur noch vr der Kess?Nchtelang, dat ess wirklich nit wohr.

I got a sweet little angel and I love her so
She's there when I need her, she understands when I say go
In the night, when she says "Hold me", it makes me feel so strong
Living with her unfolds me, she gives me strength to carry on
I don't need anyone else
If I did I would be fooling myself
Anna, Anna
And I know if she left me, my world would turn cold
She's the best liitle lady that a man could ever hold
When I'm down, she knows what to say
She clears my blindness away
And in the night, she says "Hold me", it makes me feel so strong
I don't need nobody else
If I did I would be fooling myself
Anna, Anna
I found me a simple woman, yeah yeah
A simple woman
I have found me a simple woman, oooh yeah
A simple woman for a simple man
I found me a simple woman,
Anna please turn around
We'll work it out somehow
Anna don't turn me down
There's still a chance if we can hold out once more
'Cause we started out with love
That was more than enough
And that's a lot to give up
Even if you turn and walk away
Love will bring you back somehow
I will wait forever and a day
'Cause I believe without a doubt
The time will not run out on our love
Anna you gotta stay
It's just a stage we're going through
And Anna this all can change
If we turn the page we can start all again
'Cause we almost touched the sky
And it could never again be this right
Anna please change your mind
Even if you turn and walk away
Love will bring you back somehow
I will wait forever and a day
'Cause I believe without a doubt
The time will not run out on our love
Even if you turn and walk away
Love will bring you back somehow
I will wait forever and a day
'Cause I believe without a doubt
The time will not run out
And I believe without a doubt
The time will not run out
And I believe without a doubt

Anna, do you ever wonder
why i'm here, sitting with all the queens men?
is it awkward? or are they friends?
i've seen some of these faces before
im sure
and i was only asking for what i knew was mine
and i was only asking for what i knew was mine
but i could never ask for love cos that's not right
but i would always ask for
Anna, i know you worry
whatever you think i'm doing on a night
you're probably right
well either way
i'm left kicking the sides of the stall
the stall
and i was only asking for what i knew was mine
and i was only asking for what i knew was mine
but i could never ask for love cos that's not right
but i would always ask for her
i'm not yet who i wanna be
Tell me again why you're running away - do you need me?
Nobody's home and there's nowhere to stay - do you believe me?
Maybe I can't be the man of your dreams - but I can save you
You were never really gone and it seems that you can feel it too
We won't see the stars if the sun is in our eyes... so don't look so surprised
Because it's just another reason why a fool like you
Would listen to a fool like me
I'll do what all the idiots around you do
And show you that you'll never be free
You're not supposed to feel this right
One is always better if you can't have two
Now that I have nothing while can't have you
You left me once - don't you leave me twice
Cuz no one is alone - no one is alone
Tell me again how I'm on your mind - you're always on mine
Tell me it's really just a matter of time - and I'll believe a lie
I can't see the sun because your stars are in my eyes... so don't look so surprised
Because it's just another reason why a fool like you
Would listen to a fool like me
I'll do what all the idiots around you do
And show you that you'll never be free
You're not supposed to feel this right
One is always better if you can't have two
Now that I have nothing while I can't have you
You left me once - don't you leave me twice
Cuz no one is alone - no one is alone
Oh what am I gonna do - you feel so right
Nothing is forever if it can't be true
Now that I am nothing I have to have you
You loved me once - you better love me twice
Cuz no one is alone - no one is alone
Tell me again why you're running away - do you need me?
This old house is falling down the board is rotten up from the ground
Anna Anna I wanna see my Anna
The bacon's cold the gravy's steamed to eat my cooking ain't same as it seemed
Anna Anna I wanna see my Anna
The shattered boards they bang in the wind
I not care Anna be coming this way again
Look over yonder the cottonfields white as snow Lord take me
Ehrlich das wird mir jetzt zu heiß hier
und außerdem gefährlich
Komm' mach doch jetzt kein' Scheiß hier
Ich bin zwar echt begehrlich
das steht wohl außer Frage
das liegt an meinen Haaren
wenn ich sie offen trage
Das magst du doch so
Lass' uns nicht lange reden
Vielleicht probieren wir's im nächsten Leben
ANNA du bist nicht so geil wie Eva
die ist ohne Worte
ANNA lass uns Freunde bleiben
und uns nur die Zeit vertreiben
Einfach was ist denn heute stressfrei
das passt mir nicht in mein Fach
Ich mag zwar deinen Dress - GEIL!!
Du bist zwar echt begehrlich
das steht wohl außer Frage
das liegt an deinen Beinen
wenn ich sie offen trage
Das magst doch so

You know we could have had a daughter and we could have
named her Anna
And she would have been a sweetheart but with punk rock
manners
Could have supported us when we retire, bought us a
cottage near the countryside
You could have taught her to play hockey
I could have taught her the guitar
And her granddad could show her the way to the bar
Could have supported us when we retire, bought us a
cottage near the countryside
We would have made the neighbours jealous
We could have had barbecues at nights
With our collected brain resource she would have an IQ
of 155
Could have supported us when we retire, bought us a
cottage near the countryside
She would have won the Nobel Prize and thanked her mama
for all the good advice
And we could have gone swimming near that cottage by
the lake
And she'd never had to know what it's like when your
heart breaks
When your heart breaks
When your heart breaks
When your heart breaks
When your heart breaks
Could have supported us when we retire, bought us a
cottage near the countryside
Could have supported us when we retire, bought us a
cottage near the countryside
She would have married a Kennedy
She would have found the cure for HIV
Well I’m real sorry Anna you never got to be
Cause your daddy moved on and he left me
Could have supported us when we retire, bought us a

MIDNIGHT LIKE ANIMALS
SOMETHING IN HER KISS FROM LONG AGO
SHE WHISPERS SOFTLY COME TO ME
LONGING IN HER EYES
TAKE ME NOW AND THEN WE'LL SPEAK OF LOVE
RED DRESS ON THE BALCONY SANTIAGO MOON

INVITE THE SCARS SHE'S SURE TO LEAVE THE DEMON LIVES

NO CARE FOR WHAT TOMORROW BRINGS

FOR YOU I WAIT
Refrain:
Immer wenn es regnet, muß ich an Dich denken
wie wir uns begegnen, kann mich nicht ablenken
naß bis auf die Haut, so stand sie da
um uns war es laut und wir kamen uns nah
immer wenn es regnet, muß ich an Dich denken
wie wir uns begegnet sind und kann mich nicht ablenken
naß bis auf die haut, so stand sie da
A-N-N-A
Pitsch Patsch naß floh ich unter das Vordach des Fachgeschäfts
vom Himmel goß ein Bach ich schätz es war halb acht
doch ich war hellwach als mich Anna ansah anlachte
ich dachte sprich sie an denn sie sprach mich an
die Kleidung ganz durchnäßt klebte an ihr fest
die Tasche in der Hand stand sie an der Wand
die dunklen Augen funkelten wie 'ne Nacht in Asien
Strähnen im Gesicht nehmen ihr die Sicht
mein Herz das klopft die Nase tropft ich schäme mich
benehme mich dämlich bin nämlich eher schüchtern
"Mein Name ist Anna" sagte sie sehr nüchtern
ich fing an zu flüstern "Ich bin Max aus dem Schoß der Kolchose"
doch so 'ne Katastrophe das ging mächtig in die Hose
mach mich lächerlich doch sie lächelte "Ehrlich wahr Mann"
sieh' da Anna war ein HipHop-Fan
Refrain:
Plitsch Platsch fiel ein Regen wie die Sintflut
das Vordach die Insel wir waren wie Strandgut
ich fand Mut bin selber überrascht über das Selbstverständnis
meines Geständnisses Anna
Ich fänd's schön mit dir auszugeh'n
könnt mich dran gewöh'n Dich öfters zuseh'n
Anna zog mich an sich ansich mach ich das nicht
spüre ihre süßen Küsse wie sie mein Gesicht liebkost
was geschieht bloß laß mich nicht los
Anna ich lieb' bloß noch Dich and're sind lieblos du bist
wie Vinyl für meinen DJ die Dialektik für Hegel
Pinsel für Picasso für Philippe Schlagzeugschlegel
Anna wie war das da bei Dada
du bist von hinten wie von vorne A-N-N-A (3x)
Refrain:
Sie gab mir 'nen Abschiedskuß denn dann kam der Bus
sie sagte "Max ich muß" die Türe schloß "was ist jetzt Schluß"
es goß ich ging zu Fuß bin konfus fast gerannt
Anna nahm mein Verstand ich fand an Anna allerhand
manchmal lach' ich drüber
doch dann merk' ich wieder wie's mich trifft
Komik ist Tragik in Spiegelschrift
A-N-N-A von hinten wie von vorne dein Name sei gesegnet
ich denk' an Dich immer wenn es regnet
Refrain:
Laß mich nicht im regen steh'n
ich will Dich wiederseh'n
A-N-N-A
Refrain:
(R.Vecchioni - M.Lavezzi)
Ricordi e nebbia dentro il cuore l'infanzia ? un sogno da scoprire
ti svegli all'improvviso un uomo che ti ha preso
senza lasciarti chiedere perch?.
Assomiglia un po' a tuo padre che ti sgrida e poi sorride
e se non fai la buona a letto senza cena
e tu vorresti andartene e sei l?
Anna, Anna
se hai imparato che puoi fare finta di essere una donna
Anna hai perso un colpo a vivere l'attimo per decidere.
Ma lui non vive che per me e di pi? bello cosa c'?
? lui che mi difende ? lui che non mi offende
e quando sono stanca chiama: Anna, Anna
Anna, Anna
? dolce insieme a te ma non ? tutto per essere una donna
Anna non credo che per te
basti che lui ti dica bella Anna, Anna
se hai imparato che puoi fare finta di essere una donna
Anna hai perso un colpo a vivere
I know a place, locked doors, windows & gates
White tiles and gray... desparing scenery
And I know a face, young girl, out of place
Saddened & strange
Makes no sounds at all
locked away just like a doll.
Anna woke today
Rubs her eyes is so afraid
And she wonders why she stays
With the other kids in the mental wing
Poor Anna, sits and waits.
Slave to the bore
Pills...they just bring me more
Ears hear no sounds, memories just bring be down
And I see them with toys
Parents with girls and boys
Sleepy they read
Promised to visit me
Repeating in my memory
Anna loves to wave
Watches them most everyday
And she wonder when she'll play with the other kids
But she thinks of better days
If she could she'd run away
But she screams aloud and says
"I'm not like the other kids"
In the mental wing, for Anna sits and waits
I know a place
Young girl, tears on her face
Saddened it's strange
She makes no sounds at all...
Anna sleeps today
Cradles up and slips away
And I wonder what she takes to reduce the pain
Anna stares out of the window
It's her eighty-fifth spring
She tries to concentrate on something
Her face is strained and she's confused
At the walls in this room
And all the strangers standing around her chair
They brought her photographs in frames
They are using her name
But she just smiles politely at their embrace
And Anna Introduces herself again
A man picks up her hand
And says, "Anna, look, the spring has come"
And your carousel is waiting
It's 1925 in New Orleans
You are in your favorite dress
Your brother is at your dad's hand
And you're on your way to the Harborfest
There will be apples on sticks and fish stands
And you'll get to wave at the passing ships
And your daddy will buy you something
At the end
And Anna tries to form a thought
But at the end she's forgotten where she started from
There's something she would like to say
But the words in her head seem to have got away
Can Anna come out and play
And over all that is inside her
A curtain is closing in her deep brown eyes
Well it's like someone's built a wall
And through the very last cracks
Anna extends her hand and a little girl calls
"Please don't let me fall"
It's 1925 in New Orleans
You are in your favorite dress
Your brother is at your dad's hand
And you're on your way to the Harborfest
There will be apples on sticks and fish stands
And you'll get to wave at the passing ships
And your daddy will buy you something
At the end
Well there's so much you must have witnessed
As the whole world changed, child
At the onset of the Jazz Age
And it was long before Elvis
And rock and roll
They told you, "There will be music
You just wait"
It's 1925 in New Orleans
You are in your favorite dress
Your brother is at your dad's hand
And you're on your way to the Harborfest
There will be apples on sticks and fish stands
And you'll get to wave at the passing ships
And your daddy will buy you something
At the end
What do you think of it all
As you are so small
Under your blanket here in this hospital
I love you
Tell your bones not to let go
But your heart is beating slowly now
The spring has come
Einar

LYRICS IN THE BOOKLET
Scatters from a bigger hole
looking, knowing
never the less
on the other side of a big river
monster hidden behind a tree
Anna knew
Anna doesn't see never the less
so nice hands
come to me
me touch you
no no what
so nice hands
with me
I am it
cuts through the water
shaken out of rising standing
sense, touch
not for the first time
no no what
so nice hands
not touch that
the neck
Anna, I am it
move, move, move
no not longer what
on the other side of a big river
lies her own body
Anna, sinking
Anna please turn around, we'll work it out somehow
Anna don't turn me down, there's still a chance if we
can hold out once more
Cause we started out with love, that was more than
enough
And that's a lot to give up
Even if you turn and walk away, love will bring you
back somehow
I will wait forever and a day, 'cause I believe without
a doubt
The time will not run out on our love
Anna you gotta stay, it's just a stage we're going
through
And Anna this all can change, if we turn the page then
we can start all again
Cause we almost touched the sky, and it could never
again be this right
Anna please change your mind
Even if you turn and walk away, love will bring you
back somehow
I will wait forever and a day, 'cause I believe without
a doubt
The time will not run out on our love
Even if you turn and walk away, love will bring you
back somehow
I will wait forever and a day, 'cause I believe without
a doubt
The time will not run out on our love
Even if you turn and walk away, love will bring you
back somehow
I will wait forever and a day, 'cause I believe without
a doubt
The time will not run out on our love
And I believe without a doubt, the time will not run
And I believe without a doubt, the time will not run
Anna, I had way too much tonight.
You know, we better call it a night.
You will never see what you did to me.
Dear Anna.
Anna, it's not worth the fight.
Look, there are tears in our lies.
You will never see what you did to me.
Dear Anna.
Anna, I had way too much tonight.
You know, we better call it a night.
You will never see what you mean to me.
Dear Anna.
Anna, it's not worth the fight.
Look, there are tears in my lies.
You will never see what you mean to me.
Dear Anna.
I LONG TO TELL YOU
HOW MUCH I NEED YOU
IF I CAN FIND THE WORDS TO SAY

MY FRIENDS THEY TELL ME
THAT I SHOULDN’T HURRY
EVERYTHING KEEPS GOIN’ STRONG
‘COZ YOU KEEP IT GOING ON
THOUGH I HAVE TO SAY HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU

WHAT YOU’RE DOING TO ME
OH ANNA THIS FEELING I JUST CAN’T HIDE
KEEPS DRIVING ME WILD
OH ANNA I NEED YOU HERE WITH ME
I WISH YOU COULD BE

YOUR EYES, THEY LOOK THROUGH ME
YOUR SMILE THEY FOOLS ME
I NEVER THOUGHT I’D LOVE AGAIN

I HAVE TO LET YOU KNOW
I LOVE YOU

Anna says it's only for a while
I say I need her but it only makes her smile
She says it's all the same to her,
It's just a game to her
To keep me waiting
Anna tells me secrets with her eyes
And all those promises might just as well be lies
I don't know what she wants from me
Or what she wants to be
But I wish I knew
Anna, don't you really care at all
The way I care for you?
Anna, don't you run away again
'Cause I don't know what I'd do
Anna, don't you know it just won't last
What's now the future will someday be the past
And when all your friends have let you down
You know I'll still be around
If you need someone
Anna, don't you really care at all
The way I care for you?
Anna, don't you run away again
'Cause I don't know what I'd do
Anna, don't you really care at all
Oh, the way I care for you?
Anna, don't you run away again
'Cause I don't know what I'd do
Anna ... ooh o-o ooh oo oo ooh
The last one was like a distant sun
He had you wondering how a star can burn out
When it's just begun
It may seem like you never learn from your mistakes
But when a heart gets drunk on a face and some words
Then a picture forms, doesn't take too long
Anna you're in love again
You saw a lighthouse calling to you
Can you remember when you didn't swear it would never last
You told me from time to time
That your lighthouse would sometimes disappear
Now Anna, you're falling in love too fast
Late for work today, you say you walked the wrong way
What are you thinking ‘bout, girl, when a voice breaks through
Clears the daydreams away
A distant light, sometimes a foghorn in the night
Is your reminder you were just a child when you know
That you needed someone to prove you wrong
But you didn't know it would take so long
Anna you're in love again
You saw a lighthouse calling to you
Can you remember when you didn't swear it would never last
You told me from time to time
That your lighthouse would sometimes disappear
(Verlaine)
The passion of Anna
Kept her awake
But not aware of things
That easily break
The darkness determined
To burn and to free
Anna wonders
Will this exit please
A serious song, she said
Of my heart and in my head
Sometimes I think to let this go
This serious song I hear
Telling me my love is near
I must lay down but I'm not tired
The passion of Anna
So full of doubt
Watches her lead her love
From drink to drought
Makes it her fellow
Some kind of goat
The passion of Anna
Must remain remote
A serious song, she said
Of my heart and in my head
Sometimes I think to let this go
This serious song I hear
Telling me my love is near
I must lay down but I'm not tired
She makes up schedule
From five till five till five till five
Somehow the train never arrives
The passion of Anna
That statue will fall
And reappear with shadows
As they call
And take it to dry out
Like rules or a lie
They lay up on a hill
Where no sun shines
A serious song, she said
Of my heart and in my head
Sometimes I think to let this go
This serious song I hear
Telling me my love is near
I must lay down but I'm not tired
Just the rhythm
The rhythm of the rain on the roofs tonight
It's got me seeing funny things
Thinking all kinds of things
Tonight I'm thinking of petrified wood
It's funny,
