Love games

Love games for people who
Like us know how to love a little
Pure embraces for children like us
Who now ask for more
 

Is all of this happiness
That you already know
Love, play with me as much as you can
Until you get tired
 

Bodies, in the dark, unite like we do
To love each other a little
And you live a year in an hour
And a minute in a lifetime
Now you’ll understand
 

Bodies, in the dark, unite like we do
To love each other a little
And you live a year in an hour
And a minute in a lifetime
Now you’ll understand
 

A Bright Red Miniskirt

Wandering, tottering along a street corner
If I lick an ice cream cone
The boys turn around and look at me
When I jumped over
The guardrail hurdle
Seems like they were able to see it
A bold move
 

Passion igniting at the start of summer
And fizzing out by the end of summer
I think that kind of romance is also nice
 

Sorry for being a bit sexy by
Wearing a bright red miniskirt
On a day like this with great weather
The most important thing is to be energetic
I'm going to go for a little walk
Wearing a bright red miniskirt
Wanting to stand out
Right now, more and more
 

Bordering on being able to see something
With my V-neck T-shirt
Attracting the naughty gazes of boys
Just once, I'd like to
Captivate them
Just like Madonna
A bold challenge
 

Wanting to go that far, yet
Unable to make it that far
My determination's wavering
 

A bright red miniskirt's
Probably the present tense of a maiden
Wanting to shine wonderfully
Like putting rouge onto a heart
A bright red miniskirt
Turns such feelings into something gaudy
Wanting to encounter an
Exhilarating romance, more and more
 

Sorry for being a bit sexy by
Wearing a bright red miniskirt
With these legs of a flamingo
I want to find me a charming guy
I'm going to go for a little walk
Wearing a bright red miniskirt
Just wanting to
Open up now, more and more
 

Bluntly

If you come asking me where I've been
While you were dreaming
With open eyes, I'll tell you
'Friend, I was freaking myself out'
 

I know that when I say it like that you think
That such desperation is a fad in '76
And I've been a bit discontent
Desperately, I sing in Portuguese
And I've been a bit discontent
Desperately, I sing in Portuguese
 

I've got 25 years in dreams and blood
and in South America
Through the strength of said fate
an Argentinean tango
Does me much better than blues
 

I know that when I say it like that you think
That such desperation is a fad in '76
And what I want is for this crooked singing
Like a knife, to slice into the flesh of you people
And what I want is for this crooked singing
Like a knife, to slice into the flesh of you people

SHADE

Without being able to spit anything out, it disappeared
It melted away, and that’s for the best
Without spitting anything out, disappear, I beg you
Without being able to spit anything out, it disappeared
It melted away, and that’s for the best
Without spitting anything out, disappear, I beg you
 

I can’t hear anything, as I cower in a corner again
Standing bare-footed in between the threads of a spider’s web
I don’t understand myself
Won’t you change? Can’t let go that easily?
Even though there’s nothing beyond the end of my hassle
I continue on, talking to myself
The lampshade’s dust extends its reach
 

Pretending to be calm, then breaking that facade, a forgiving record
Freeze your tears, and laugh out loud, aah
Pretending to be calm, I try to dance, relentlessly
It hurts to breathe, and it’s all because of you
 

Without being able to spit anything out, it disappeared
It melted away, and that’s for the best
Without spitting anything out, disappear, I beg you
 

I don’t want to get my hopes up, but I keep reaching forward
‘Cause it’s not like I’m trying to give up
A dark platform, stay gold1
My heart is poor, look, it can’t even empathize
But that’s normal, something I’ve always predicted
Clinging, lingering onto words that aren’t even meant for anyone
I need rehabilitation
I can’t keep living on so carelessly
 

I don’t understand, but that can’t be helped, can’t it?
When I try to, my imagination bursts
Into tiny bits and pieces before I know it
The lampshade’s dust extends its reach
 

Pretending to be calm, then breaking that facade, a forgiving record
Freeze your tears, and laugh out loud, aah
Pretending to be calm, I try to dance, relentlessly
It hurts to breathe, and it’s all because of you
 

The lampshade’s pride is its battleground
I can’t help but look at it still
I end up remembering it in moments, those splatters of blood
Once it overflows, I can safely shut down again
I’ll do it myself ‘cause it’s my job, but
Is it more unstable to think of it as something easy?
I did it obediently and maturely though
I won’t care about what others think. Speak up, let it go
 

Someone out there is happy, a forgiving record
Freeze your tears, and laugh out loud, aah
Pretending to be calm, I try to dance, relentlessly
I want to stay breathing, and it’s all because of you
 

Without being able to spit anything out, it disappeared
It melted away, and that’s for the best
Without spitting anything out, disappear, I beg you
Without any room for love, it disappeared
It melted away, and that’s for the best
Without any room for love, disappear, I beg you
