It's been getting so hard living with the things you do to me
My dreams are getting so strange I'd like to tell you everything I see

I see a man at the back as a matter of fact his eyes are as red as the sun
And a girl in the corner let no one ignore her
'cause she thinks she's the passionate one

Oh yeah, it was like lightning, everybody was frightening
and the music was shoothing and they all started grooving
Yeah, yeah Yeah yeah, yeah

And the man at the back said: "Everyone attack"
and it turned into a ballroom blitz
And the girl in the corner said: "Boy I wanna warn you"
and it turned into a ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz Repeat 4 times

I'm reaching out for something touching nothing's all I ever do
I softly call you over When you appear there's nothing left to do

I see a man at the back as a matter of fact his eyes are as red as the sun
And the girl in the corner is everyone's moaner
'cause she thinks she's the passionate one

Oh yeah, it was electric, so frightfully hectic
And the band started leaping, 'cause they all stopped breathing
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Submitted by Anders Sandvei

Oh, show us the way to the next whiskey bar
Oh, don't ask why
Oh, don't ask why
For we must find the next whiskey bar
For if we don't find the next whiskey bar
I tell you we must die (don't say that)
I tell you we must die (don't say that)
I tell you, I tell you, I tell you we must die (Oh, no!)

Oh, Moon of Alabama
We now must say good-bye
We've lost our good old mama
And must have whiskey, oh, you know why

Oh, show us the way to the next pretty boy
Oh, don't ask why
Oh, don't ask why
For we must find the next pretty boy
For if we don't find the next pretty boy
I tell you we must die
I tell you we must die
I tell you, I tell you, I tell you we must die

Oh, Moon of Alabama
It's time to say good-bye
We've lost our good old mama
And must have a boy, oh, you know why

Oh, show us the way to the next little dollar (money, money, money)
Oh, don't ask why
Oh, don't ask why
For we must find the next little dollar
For if we dont find the next little dollar
I tell you we must die
I tell you we must die
I tell you, I tell you, I tell you we must die

Oh, Moon of Alabama
It's time to say good-bye
We've lost our good old mama
And must have dollars, oh, you know why
You know why
You know why

Das Trauerspiel von Afghanistan (The Tragedy of Afghanistan)

Adapted from a 1857 poem by German author Theodor Fontane (1819 – 1898)
Submitted by Anders Sandvei

Das Trauerspiel von Afghanistan

Der Schnee leis stäubend vom Himmel fällt,
Ein Reiter vor Dschellalabad hält,
"Wer da?" – "Ein britischer Reitersmann,
Bringe Botschaft aus Afghanistan."

Afghanistan! Er sprach es so matt,
Es umdrängt den Reiter die halbe Stadt,
Sir Robert Sale, der Kommandant,
Hebt ihn vom Rosse mit eigener Hand.

Sie führen ins steinerne Wachthaus ihn,
Sie setzen ihn nieder an den Kamin,
Wie wärmt ihn das Feuer, wie Iabt ihn das Licht,
Er atmet hoch auf und dankt und spricht:

"Wir waren dreizehntausend Mann,
Von Kabul unser Zug begann,
Soldaten, Führer, Weib und Kind,
Erstarrt, erschlagen, verraten sind.

Zersprengt ist unser ganzes Heer,
Was lebt, irrt draußen in Nacht umher,
Mir hat ein Gott die Rettung gegönnt,
Seht zu, ob den Rest ihr retten könnt."

Sir Robert stieg auf den Festungswall,
Offiziere, Soldaten folgten ihm all',
Sir Robert sprach: "Der Schnee fällt dicht,
Die uns suchen, sie können uns finden nicht.

Sie irren wie Blinde und sind uns so nah,
So laßt sie's hören, daß wir da,
Stimmt an ein Lied von Heimat und Haus,
Trompeter blast in die Nacht hinaus!"

Da huben sie an und sie wurden's nicht müd',
Durch die Nacht hin klang es Lied um Lied,
Erst englische Lieder mit fröhlichem Klang,
Dann Hochlandslieder wie Klagegesang.

Sie bliesen die Nacht und über den Tag,
Laut, wie nur die Liebe rufen mag,
Sie bliesen – es kam die zweite Nacht,
Umsonst, daß ihr ruft, umsonst, daß ihr wacht.

Die hören sollen, sie hören nicht mehr,
Vernichtet ist das ganze Heer,
Mit dreizehntausend der Zug begann,
Einer kam heim aus Afghanistan.

Love your world now
now is the time
to always love your world
needs love right now

Love your world now
the time is always now
not love love love
love is it

How long can we go?
how high can we fly?
how much can we love?
how tough is no love?
some love the world
some hate the world
we all will be judged
we all will be touched by

Love your world now
now is the time
to always love your world
needs love right now

Love your world now
now is the time
To always love your world
right now your world needs love

The world is in stress
The world Is In A Mess

How can it be changed
what seems to be so arranged
very long ago it was not so
all came from all before the fall
Now the world is in stress
Now the world Is In A Mess

Your world is in danger
and love is really it
it is really, really love
let me love you oh so much
Let's love
let's win
let love in
And you will see how happy we can be

Love For The World
Meine Welt
Our World
Loving yourself means loving your world
To always love your world Now

Let's be fair and let's have fun
Let's grow hair and praise the sun
Let love win and we'll be free
Let love in and we will see
Love in action is my reaction
Yes love in action is my reaction
Love, love, love ….

Official Life Ball Song 2004
Submitted by Anders Sandvei

Tanzen wir!
Jajaja!
Klatschen wir
und – jetzt – jajaja
noch – mal – jajaja

Ein Monsterrrrrrrrr
ist auf der Welt!
Du kennst es
auch wenn es sich verstellt

Es hat keine Augen, es hat kein Gehirn
Es will dich verblöden und verwirr'n – Hey!

Kannst du nicht hör'n, denn das sag' ich's Dir
Immer lauter, immer lauter:
Love rules the world – darum singen wir
Immer lauter, immer lauter!
Lass' mich Dich stör'n, stell Dein Radio
Immer lauter, immer lauter, immer lauter-
Bis Du's kapierst

Das Monsterrrr
versteckt sich im Wald
Es tarnt sich
und wechselt seine Gestalt

Es fliegt durch die Lüfte und sitzt auf Papier
Es will dich verblöden und verwirr'n – Hey!

Kannst du nicht hör'n, denn das sag' ich's Dir
Immer lauter, immer lauter:
Love rules the world – darum singen wir
Immer lauter, immer lauter!
Lass' mich Dich stör'n, stell Dein Radio
Immer lauter, immer lauter, immer lauter-
Bis Du's kapierst

Ganz lang
ganz langsam
fahren wir
weit weg vom Wald
übers Meer

Immer weiter – immer weiter – immer weiter – immer weiter
immer lauter – immer lauter – immer lauter – immer lauter

Kannst du nicht hör'n, denn das sag' ich's Dir
Immer lauter, immer lauter:
Love rules the world – darum singen wir
Kannst du nicht hör'n, denn das sag' ich's Dir
Immer lauter, immer lauter:
Love rules the world – darum singen wir
Immer lauter, immer lauter!
Lass' mich Dich stör'n, stell Dein Radio
Immer lauter, immer lauter, immer lauter-
Bis Du's kapierst

(Nina played the part of Stormella the Ice Queen in the animated film
"Rudolph Mit Der Roten Nase")

Ich kriege ein Wohlgefühl
Sobald der erste Schnee fällt
Wenn Eisberge krachen
Dann bringt mich das am Lachen
Ich krieg'ne Gänsehaut
Wenn Lawinen runterstechen
Und Bäume voll Schnee
Hin sichzusammenbrechen

(chorus:)
Verbirg mir den Spass
Spürst du ? mal das Hass
Jetzt gibt es kein Zurück
Vom bösen Meisterstück
Ich schütte den alten Simpel
So mit Schnee zu
Das es wehtut
Ich reize raus
Ich hasse Santa Claus,
Den lieben Santa Claus

So nett und fröhlich
Und immer ehrlich
Wenn ihr mich fragt
"Absolut entbehrlich"
Ich hasse Santa Claus
Ja, ich hasse Santa Claus

Das ganze Ho-ho-ho
Sein zuckersüsses Wesen
Spielzeug für die Kinder
Ich werde sie vermiesen
Ich werde ??
Mit dem Kaos, das ich plane
Ich schenke meinen schlimmstes Sturz
Zu Santa Claus
HA HA HA

(chorus)

Ich mache all den Schnee
Und er lässt sich's versüssen
Er klaubt meinen Donner
Ich schwöre, das wird der Bösen
Jetzt reicht es, jetzt reicht es!
Ich fühle die Verpflichtung,
Alles zu zerstören
und Santa zu vernichten

(chorus)

Ich hasse Santa Claus!
Ich hasse ihn!
