Wild seed

A kind of Christmas card

(Words: H.Rem/Music: M.Harket)

All you folks back home

I'll never tell you this

You're not supposed to know

Where your daughter is

There are ways of life

You never understood

It's right here

Downtown Hollywood

It's afternoon on Sunset Boulevard

I've got a stolen moment trying hard

To write a kind of Christmas card

But I am burning out again

Tonight there is fever in my veins

Mama, dear

All the love you gave

I guess there's really nothing

Nothing much to save

This place is as dirty as I feel myself

There are still some riches

At the Roosevelt

That evening prayer

Those memories

In my little bedroom, mama, on my knees

That's where I'am at

Down in Los Angeles

And I am burning out again

And I must rise above the shame

Tonight there is fever in my veins

Just think of the girl I used to be

You were my age once, mama

Twenty-three

I can still hear some of the songs you used to play

From that summer of love in '68

Seems it's turned into a winter of hate

And I am burning out again

Spanish steps

(Words: M.Harket, H.Rem, T. Flakne/ Music: T.Flakne)

Must have been walking

Don't know this place

Somebody stopped talking

Is it written in my face

Thought I'd never leave you

Thought I'd never dare

But I watched you going under

That's a thought I could not beare

Five thousand miles Im away from you

Drifting by the Spanish steps tonight

Guess you've got my nomber

Guess you got my line

Guess you got my number

Should I be on your mind

Late at night your footsteps

Barefoot on the floor

Tender eyes from sleeping

In the darkened corridor

I come up the stairway

My naked enemy

Comes stumbling towards me

Wish I could set you free

Half in love and half in hate

(Words: O.S.Olsen/ Music: M. Harket)

Half in love and half in hate

Someone told me it is late

Late on earth he said, maybe

Late in you

And late in me

Darker than it has to be

Tell me just another lie

Now we're woven under ice

Tell me that there is no other

I am a child

Be my mother

If you lie, babe

If you bother

Since you raise that wall around you

Since I lost you

I have found you strange

And I could swear for sure

Haven't seen that girl before

Half in love and half at war

Hey, you're looking strange

And everything you do

Girl, it seems arranged

Dark words drift away

I have nothing more to say

Soon the moon will rise

And in this stormy night

I have to see your face

See the lines that make you old

Stony silence, touched by gold

Everything's too late

Too late for love, and suddendly

Too late for hate

There's only one thing left to do

I have to face this other you

Brodsky tune

(Words: J.Brodsky/ Music: M.Harket)

As you pour yourself a scotch

Crush a roach or check your watch

As your hands adjust your tie people die

In the towns with funny names

Hit by bullets, caught in flames

By and large not knowing why people die

And in small places you don't know of

Yet big for having no chance to scream

Or say good-bye people die

Chorus La la...

Let me know

People die as you elect

New apostles of neglect, self restraint

Whereby people die Too far off to practice love

For thy neighbour, brother Slav

Where your cherubs dread to fly people die

Chorus La la...

Let me know

While the ststues disagree

Cain's version, history for its fuel tends to buy

Those who die

As you watch the atletes score

Or check your latest statement

Or sing your child a lullaby people die

Time, whose sharp, bloodthirsty quill

Parts the killed from those who kill

Will pronounce the latter tribe

As your type

Wild seed

(Words: M.Harket/ Music: M.Harket)

Baby

Are you holding the key

Was it you that put a lock on my door

Who sent you

Are you deep as the sea

Well it takes a deep womb

To shelter me

I can hold you, girl

And watch your heart settle down

Feels like home

But I'm lost somehow

God made you beautiful

I made you cry

So listen, babe

The sun's going down

You know what I mean

There ain't much time

Cause we're the wild seed, girl

And this land's being farmed

You know a farmer takes great pride

In what he leaves behind

God made you beautiful

I made you cry

Los Angeles

(Words: H.Rem/ Music: M.Harket)

You waited for me

When I was strong

You never called

You waited long

Now I come back

To sleep with you

You love me still

I love you, too

You kept the house

I could not keep

You kissed good night

And went to sleep

Now I come back

To sleep with you

You love me still

I love you, too

Come with me

To that room by the sea

With the moon and the view of Los Angeles

You're beautiful back then

God, you're beautiful now

Come with me

Yeah, I was strong

I had no choice

The kids grew up

And left the house

But I come back

To sleep with you

You love me still

I love you, too

East Timor

(Words: H.K.Dahl, H.Rem, M.Harket/ Music:G.Kolbu)

Sandalwood trees are evergreen

Cut them down

Plant coffee beans

Build no schools

Construct no roads

Mark them as fools

Let ignorance rule

Leave them stranded on their island

Treat them to the tune of silence

Red is the cross that covers our shame

Every kingdom, every land

Has its heart in the common ma

Silently the tide shifts the sand

Bury my heart on East-Timor

In coral sands

On golden shores

Buried are those

Who lived their lives

No place to hide for

Father and child

Leave them stranded on their island

treat them to the tune of silence

We shake the hands that kill and forgive

Every kingdom, every land

Has its heart in the commun man

Silently the tide shifts the sand

Bury my heart on East-Timor

On barren graves

Where flowers wom't grow

Blooms our Red cross lovingly

This nightingale deed

So we can be free

Stranded on their island

This army of the silent

We toast our own good will and forget

Every kingdom, every land

Has its heart in the commun man

Silently the tide shifts tha sand

Lay me down tonight

( Words: H.Rem, M.Harket/ Music: M.Harket)

Lay me down tonight, I'm falling deep

I'm tired, now I'll sleep

So close my eyes and take me in

I'll leap into the night like wind

I leave my body, leave my sword

So lay me down, Father Lord

Lay me down tonight, my heart is weak

Much you give and much you seek

I'll fall into a see of sleep

This sea of dreams, so red and deep

I leave my spirit, leave my words

So lay me down, Mother Earth

Lay me down tonight, I'm giving in

Let the works of life begin

Your works of chaos, works of grace

Creation, Lord, in your own pace

Word to flesh and flesh to word

Father Lord, Mother Earth

Tell me what you see

(Words: H.Rem, M.Harket/ Music: M.Harket)

Sleep, my love, sleep

Or look up at the sky

Returning from its deep

See the moon go down

Watch the sun come 'round

Tell me what you see

Sleep, my love, sleep

Yeah, look into a world

You can no longer reach

Time's a one way track

Ther's no direction back

But when you're dreaming

Tell me what you see

Sleep, my love, sleep

Like you slept with me

When the world was a dream

That we believed

It was near

It was far

It answered to the stars

No one's ever been that close to me

What did you see

Tell me what you see

Stay

(Words: H.Rem, M.Harket/ Music: M.Harket)

Stay

I say it as a friend

He can handle the daylight

But the night has its way

Touch him

Like no one did before

no fingerprints on the dew

so stay

Whatever you do

Watch him laughing

ooh he can't help it

He sees through the eyes of a child

When he sees you

Baby

The town you come from

You said you'd like to leave

Then say

Where you gonna be

Do you see me

In your sleep

The dreams you're dreaming

Please be gentle, oh be gentle

There can be no other

Down so deep

But do you see me

Do you know what to keep

So stay...

Lord

(Words: H.Rem/ Music: M.Harket)

Lord, if that is your name

I'm afraid I'm beyond honour and shame

There's nothing special that I would like to say

Most of the time I'm okay

I know I may need you some day

It's long since I heard from Thee

Lord, it's long dince you heard from me

There's nothing special I would like to say

Most of the time I've been okay

You know I'm gonna need you some day

Why you put me, Lord, on this road of lust

From ashes to ashes, from dust to dust

There's nothing special that I would like to say

Most of the time I've been okay

You know I will need you some day

Ready to go home

(Words: A.Gold, G.Gouldman/ Music: A.Gold, G.Gouldman)

On the stree below these walls

Where I used to walk

Now I can barely crawl

All this darkness rising tall

Lord, shine a light for me

I'm waiting to be called

I'm ready to go home

I'm ready to receive frogiveness for my sins

I'm ready to begin

Take this river to the sea

Where the delta flows

The tide is washing over me

Take this soul to heaven's door

Show me where tomorrow lies

I'm waiting to be born

I'm ready to lay down

I'm ready now to sleep

A promise I must keep

I'm ready to go home

So tired, I lay down with these memories

I breath shallow deep inside of me

If time has run its couse with me

I'm ready to go home

I'm ready to receive frogiveness for my sins

I'm ready to begin

When the evening shadows fall

When the time must come

I let defences fall

To surrender's to survive

I will give up everything

To those I leave behind

I'm ready to go home

I'm ready to receive frogiveness for my sins

I'm ready to begin

I'm ready to lay down

I'm ready now to sleep

A promise I must keep

I'm ready to go home
