Head OVer Heels

 

I have a very good friend

the kind of girl who likes to follow a trend
she has a personal style

some people like it others tend to go wild
you hear her voice everywhere

taking the chair she’s a leading lady
and with no trace of hesitation she keeps going

Head over heels
breaking her way pushing through unknown jungles every day
she’s a girl with a taste for the world
(the world is like a playing-ground where she goes rushing)
head over heels
setting the pace running the gauntlet in a whirl of lace
she’s extreme if you know what I mean

Her man is one I admire

he’s so courageous but he’s constantly tired
each time when he speaks his mind

she pats his head and says
“that’s all very fine

exert that will of your own when you’re alone
now we’d better hurry” and with no trace of hesitation she keeps going

Head over heels
breaking her way pushing through unknown jungles every day
she’s a girl with a taste for the world
(the world is like a playing-ground where she goes rushing)
head over heels
setting the pace running the gauntlet in a whirl of lace
she’s extreme if you know what I mean

You hear her voice everywhere

taking the chair she’s a leading lady
and with no trace of hesitation she keeps going

Head over heels
breaking her way pushing through unknown jungles every day
she’s a girl with a taste for the world
(the world is like a playing-ground

where she goes rushing)
head over heels
setting the pace running the gauntlet in a whirl of lace
she’s extreme if you know what I mean
(I think she’s one of those who

always likes to do whatever she feels)
and she goes head over heels

 

 

The Visitors (Crackin' Up)

 

I hear the door-bell ring and suddenly the panic takes me
the sound so ominously tearing through the silence
I cannot move I’m standing

numb and frozen
among the things I love so dearly

the books, the paintings and the furniture
help me

The signal’s sounding once again and someone tries the doorknob
none of my friends would be so stupidly impatient
and they don’t dare to come here

anymore now
but how I loved our secret meetings

we talked and talked in quiet voices
smiling

Now I hear them moving

muffled noises coming through the door I feel I’m
crackin’ up
voices growing louder

irritation building and I’m close to fainting
crackin’ up
they must know by now I’m

in here trembling in a terror evergrowing
crackin’ up
my whole world is falling

going crazy there is no escaping now I’m
crackin’ up

These walls have witnessed all the anguish of humiliation
and seen the hope of freedom glow in shining faces
and now they’ve come to take me

come to break me
and yet it isn’t unexpected

I have been waiting for these visitors
help me

Now I hear them moving

muffled noises coming through the door I feel I’m
crackin’ up
voices growing louder

irritation building and I’m close to fainting
crackin’ up
they must know by now I’m

in here trembling in a terror evergrowing
crackin’ up
my whole world is falling

going crazy there is no escaping now I’m
crackin’ up

 

I have been waiting for these visitors
help me

Now I hear them moving

muffled noises

coming through the door I feel I’m
crackin’ up

(I have been waiting for these visitors)
voices growing louder

irritation building

and I’m close to fainting
crackin’ up

(I have been waiting for these visitors)
they must know by now I’m 

in here trembling

in a terror evergrowing
crackin’ up

(I have been waiting for these visitors)
my whole world is falling 

going crazy there

is no escaping now I’m
crackin’ up

(I have been waiting for these visitors)
