AUSTRALIA
My day is over
The work in the morning
One more day like the others
Full with nothing at all
To fill the void
Rushes water from the ceiling
A parget falls down and
Janitor’s completely drunk
Water climbs
The sea is reaching the table
I’ve got to hurry
To save Your photographs
Just want to see You
How long You can talk with pictures
You said we’ll be going
To Australia
It’s so cold
Outside my window
Great snowflakes falling
Like fluffy ostrich eggs
It’s so dark
Outside my window
On that side of the globe
Already kangaroos wake up
Can’t fall asleep
Mind’s full of thoughts, an overflow
I want so much
With You somewhere far away
All there is
Is just a killing of time now
Until we’re going
To Australia
Dog stares at me like at fool
With koala-sad eyes
I try to tell him
You’re just a little late
Koala tells me
I’m waiting vainly
I send him away, who would have thought
Koalas are so miserable liars
It’s so cold outside my window
I wait for us going to Australia
It’s so dark outside my window
I know we’ll be going to Australia

MY HOLINESS
Here is my hand for You
Hold it tight if You want
To get on the other side
You need a boat no more
I can walk on water, girl
With You in my arms
My Holiness, my light
Is going to erase Your fears
Just let my hands lay on Your skin
You need the sun no more
I am the true sun for You
I am for You
But I need an open scar
To save the sense
Of who I am
As the scars skin over
Everything will be forgotten
My smile will be untrue again

AUSTRĀLIJA
Latvian version of the song “Australia”.
Mana diena galā
No rīta uz darbu
Un vēl diena kā visas
Pilna ar it neko
Tukšumu aizpildīt
No griestiem steidz ūdens
Krīt apmetums lejā
Un sētnieks ir piedzēries
Ūdens kāpj
Jūra sniedzas līdz galdam
Man jāsteidz glābt
Tavas fotogrāfijas
Tevi vēlos redzēt
Cik var runāt ar bildēm
Tu teici – mēs brauksim
Uz Austrāliju
Ir tik auksts
Aiz mana loga
Krīt pārslas kā pūkainas
Strausa olas
Ir tik tumšs
Aiz mana loga
Viņpus zemeslodei
Jau ķenguri mostas
Nenāk miegs
Nāk galvā visādas domas
Tik ļoti gribas
Ar Tevi tālu projām
Viss, kas notiek
Ir, lai laiks ir nosists
Līdz mēs brauksim
Uz Austrāliju
Ir tik auksts aiz mana loga
Es gaidu, kad mēs brauksim uz Austrāliju
Ir tik tumšs aiz mana loga
Es zinu, mēs brauksim uz Austrāliju

MANS SVĒTUMS
Latvian version of the song “My Holiness”
Še būs Tev mana roka
Satver cieši, cieši to
Ja gribi pāri tikt
Vairs nevajag laivu Tev
Virs ūdens varu staigāt es
Un Tevi nest
Mans svētums, mana gaisma
Tavas bailes izdzēsīs
Kā izdziest krīts
Vairs nevajag sauli Tev
Es esmu īstā saule Tev
Es esmu Tev
Bet man vajag kādu rētu
Atvērtu, lai atcerētos
Kāds esmu es
Kā rētas aizvilksies
Man tas viss sāks aizmirsties
Mans smaids kļūs atkal nepatiess

KORROSION
German version of the song “Corrosion”.
Da kommen deine einzig treuen Freunde
Symptome eine Anfalls
Du ballst die Fäuste, möchtest sie verscheuchen
Doch steh’n sie um dein Bett und lächeln
Dein Nachtschrank füllt sich mit Tabletten
Hellblau, grün, orange und rosarot
wer hätte sich das Leben je so bunt gedacht
Und einen Augenblick so bedeutsam
Und durch die Augenlider
durch die Finger vorm Gesicht
frißt die Korrosion sich wieder
ätzt die Verzweiflung sich
Nur so kannst du dich befrein -
schlag’ alles kurz und klein
Du mußt zum Torpedo werden
positiv geladen sein
Wer weiß, ob jemals sie die Briefe liest
Die nachts du schreibst, bevor der Schlaf dich packt
Aus Angst, daß du den Morgen nicht erleben wirst
Daß dich die Seuche überfällt im Schutz der Nacht
Du schreibst, was du noch nicht verwirklicht hast
Du hast sie nicht umarmt zum letzten Mal
Du strebst mit aller Kraft dem Himmel zu
Dein Himmel spiegelt sich in eine Lache
Und durch die Augenlider
durch die Finger vorm Gesicht
frißt die Korrosion sich wieder
ätzt die Verzweiflung sich
Nur so kannst du dich befrein -
schlag’ alles kurz und klein
Du mußt zum Torpedo werden
positiv geladen sein

CORROSION
Here come Your always-responsive friends
Those are the symptoms of just another fit
Clench your fists, try to push them out of Your bed
But the brigade just sits on the edge quietly smiling
Your bedside table fills with remedy
White, yellow, light blue, orange, red and green
Who would have imagined a life so colourful
Who would have thought one more moment so meaningful
And through the eye-lids
Through finger apertures
The corrosion creeps into you
Despair devours You
The only way to overcome
Is to use a battering-ram
Be a torpedo that’s
Loaded with delight
Who knows will she someday get to read your letters
That you write each night before to fall asleep
Scared that tomorrow can come not for You
And the disease will use the darkness to fall on You
You write in your letters what haven’t you done yet
For the very last time haven’t tightly embraced her yet
While you search in the sky for a guiding light
It’s just a puddle reflecting Your sky
And through the eye-lids
Through finger apertures
The corrosion creeps into you
Despair devours You
The only way to overcome
Is to use a battering-ram
Be a torpedo that’s
Loaded with delight

PHASIC
It seems we’re safe and happy, no things can harm us now
We don’t ask anything else, it’s already more than fair
But then on a simpliest day so easy – our worlds collapse
You feed the birds in our garden, alone and confused to despair
It’s been a year since I’m watching You from above
Our ways are parted now. Your life, Your laughter still goes on
New impressions are there and new people for Your secrets to share
Only bluebirds sing from the trees – it’s a phase You’re going through
In our spirit
We’re never alone
We’ll live longer than sun
We’ll last longer than stone
In our spirit
We’re always near
And none of us
Will ever disappear
