He's in the mood to touch the fire
He's in the mood to touch everything you are
Jacky's locked in a silent dream
He's watching movies on the tv screen
He feels unsteady, lights a cigarette
He's getting mellow in his cabinet
Oh, jacky, when everything goes wrong
Get ready, for you've got to be, you've got to be so strong
It's so supersensual, sentimental
Forget about your deepest fears
Switch back to the golden years
You've got to touch the fire, wake up little boy
You've got to play the fire
Jacky's spying, is it her or not
His eyes are burning cause the brain's too hot
He sitting calmly on his swivel chair
There's something coming from the upper stairs
Now listen to me, jacky
You were always so lonesome in that quiet lonely house
High on a hill
Now come... come and meet me
You know where
And we take a nice and easy holiday
Back in the old, old days of happiness
Oh jacky....
Switch back to the golden years
INSIDE OUT
Lyrics: Gold/music: Gold-Lloyd-Echolette
Your hand full of hours - sand from the urns
A travelling companion - the secret of ferns
From darkness to darkness - where shall I begin
When whiteness attacked us - sewn under our skin
And there were the stars that helped to navigate our souls
With all my love - I went into the world
From inside out - and I gave it all to you
But I need your love - that was looking for me
Just on my lips look for your kiss
And always I think where we might have gone
If we'd never met inside this song
Our names are enciphered - but the words became true
When I was the sun and you, you were the moon
And there were the stars that helped to navigate our souls
INTO THE DARK
Lyrics: Gold/music: Gold-Lloyd-Mertens
Long view into the dark
Moving your finger
You gonna make it for sure into the dark
Master of duel, rendezvoyeur
This is a walk into the dark
Playing the ball
Roll it on but not too fast
There she goes into the light
Close to your eye
Breaking the mirror
Gone out of sight
Flash in the rain
Sign of a walk into the dark..

IRON JOHN
Lyrics: Gold-Rudy Nielson/music: Lloyd-Gold-Echolette
If you open up the cage
You will hurt yourself
The king said it's forbidden
Or you may get hell
But the prisoner lets you know
Where to find the key
Under her satin pillow
Yes, there it has to be
Modesty is fine but it doesn't take you very far
When you make your decision
Don't be afraid of the dark
Longing for the golden ball
That it will be yours for keeps
Be sure about it as you saw
So shall you reap
Lets take a ride on iron john's shoulders
He has more gold than anybody in this world
Lets tak a ride, hey-ho on iron john
He has more gold
Than anybody in this world
Jump on the train to nowhere
From now on you are free
After rising from the ashes
You'll become a mystery
Too many of those strange injections,
Too many gazes at the sun
The lady says, well that's the business,
Running after no.1
For all their childish daydreams
You caught their falling stars
Just for the cheapest contracts
You signed your autograph
And if you started much too early,
Therefore you stopped too late
Make sure no one can stop you now,
Here comes the ultimate
He will be with you, he will be there
When you call out the magic words..
IVORY TOWER
Lyrics: Gold-Lloyd-Echolette/music: Bloss-Gold-Lloyd-Echo.
Here is the news
From my little hideaway
My sweet ivory tower
I've sent you songs about so many things
Mighty moondogs skipping waves
Dolphins playing their lives away
Golden circus girls and pharaohs
Fallen angels, streetside romeos
Patricia's park and anyway
Eternal youth and neverending summerdays
Lonely girls, music halls, the mysteries of love
In the event
That I don't return
Please take this message to understand
In the event...
I am a stranger
In a strange land
Welcome stranger, to the land of the free
Welcome, carol, to fantasy
Oh my god, I feel so alone
A million light years far from home
It seems to be a tragedy
How can I live in germany
Another house is burning down
It's time to face the cruel reality
This is a game no more
Desasters in the twentieth century
In the event that I don't return
Please, take this message to understand
In the event
In the event
