Europa (John von Ahlen) Verse 1 Meanwhile, in Utopia Congratulations that we've come so far It's a pleasure to meet you finally! You have guided our very destiny Flying back from Jupiter Through the portal, we can see the stars A precious memory, of what we used to be Now Europa is so far away Pre Chorus Times passes by, and it's beautiful Don't be afraid, this was made for you Chorus Europa , we need you, we need you Europa , we need you, we need you Verse 2 Manipulation, is our master plan Your genetics we rearrange by hand Atomic structure it's very simple To recreate you, like we always do You are our children, we did what's best for you We gave you pleasure, we gave you lots to do Now look around you, time is running out Are we dreaming, it's so hard to say Repeat Pre Chorus Repeat Chorus

I Fell In Love With A Drum Machine (John von Ahlen) Verse 1 I dream I'm electric when I dream of you (I dream I'm electric) And there's a connection do you feel it too (I can feel the connection) The night is approaching it's coming on strong (The night approaches so quickly) The night is electric we can do no wrong (Electricity) Bridge You don't' love me, like I love you And you don't need me, like I need you Chorus Somebody tell me this is just a dream I fell in love with a drum machine! Verse 2 Don't tell me I'm crazy I know that I'm not (Don't tell me I'm crazy) It's simply a case of "I Love You Too Much" (I love you my LinnDrum) These feelings I have they do make me confused (Why don't you tell me you love me) I've never before had my love refused (I don't understand) Repeat Bridge Repeat Chorus Repeat Chorus Repeat Bridge Repeat Chorus

Eastern Wall (John von Ahlen) Verse 1 We all need some direction When things are getting grey I don't believe in miracles To take away the pain A promise made then broken Can devastate the world I reach my hand to hold you then In case you never heard Chorus And slowly the walls they will tumble down They fall upon the eastern ground Where soldiers marched and people cried in Berlin I wonder, if all those who went away Will come again some other day I'd really like to meet them, and greet them Verse 2 Don't you feel the pressure It's building every day We need to make impressions But don't know what to say? The man machines are watching They watch your every move The only way to satisfy Is for you to remove Chorus Then slowly the walls they will tumble down They fall upon the eastern ground Where soldiers marched and people cried in Berlin In Berlin........ Repeat Chorus

Sharper Than A Knife (John von Ahlen) Verse 1 It was only a matter of time Before I had to say goodbye Johnny 7 knows I'm right We talk about it all the time Pre Chorus I told you lies, I even compromised I tell you I'll never feel that way again Chorus Why did you try to change me I thought you'd realise? It took me so long, but now that you're gone I'm fine!

Lovely (John von Ahlen) Verse 1 I met you on Thursday, and yes it seemed so long ago You cruel heart was melting, I thought you needed someone to hold Pre Chorus You don't seem to be the real deal Completely at the mercy of your never ending lies, I don’t why I hang around Chorus You just want me around because I'm lovely Though you don't really believe in what you see So you just want me around because I'm lovely I think that maybe it's time for me to leave (oh leave) You don't really love me and you don’t really need me I've got to make a move And I don’t believe you when you say that you need me I think that you have proved Verse 2 It sounds like you planned it, you seemed to know when I was low We all know what that means, it means it's time for you to go Repeat Pre Chorus Repeat Chorus
8.
I Heart U (John von Ahlen) Verse 1 So we try to solve the puzzle Recreate it in our minds When did things become so scary Are we really flying blind Pre Chorus 1 I can hear the calculator try, try, try Undergoing calculations my, my, my Chorus Are you feeling me, please believe in me, I heart U and I want U 2 Are you feeling it, please believe in me I heart U and I want U 2 Don't know anyone, don’t know anyone Are you feeling it? Please believe in me baby! Verse 2 Now that things are getting better.. And the rain is far behind We can dream about the future Making real what is on our mind..

9.
You And Me Both (John von Ahlen) Verse 1 I push the buttons, again and again You and me both, is etched in my brain If you want, I'll play it again We take a walk, down memory lane We take a trip, you know what it means When we're electric, inside our dreams We make our fun, wherever we can We went to London, to see a band Pre Chorus When you're out like that, wonderful You see the lights, beautiful You ask me why, and in return I tell you Chorus This was meant to be Only you and me Baby please don’t go Cos I'd miss you so Verse 2 A celebration, we painted it black I had to listen, when you turned your back I know it’s wrong, we don’t use guitars but that's what turned us into superstars We went to Paris, for only a day And then returned to see Alison play Our trip was short, but the memory's great It was a freak out like a Jupiter 8 Repeat Pre Chorus Repeat Chorus
10.
X Minus One (John von Ahlen) Chorus X Minus One means that we've lost the fun I just need someone tonight If you believe in love Then just believe in love tonight Verse 1 I caught the tube and saw you in the back row Neon glasses, funny how time passes I touch your hand, hoping for a smile We connect, and then go wild Time has changed us, also rearranged us Brought us closer, maybe for the better When you talk to me, I feel like I believe Chorus Verse 2 We were on the path of least resistance Total strangers always kept our distance But that changed when I touched your hand We're together, hopefully forever Now I notice something in your eyes You told me something, caught me by surprise Life on your own and now I'm coming home! Chorus Middle 8 Whose laughing now? If I'm not sorry now, It's cos I don't know how
11.
Underground (John von Ahlen) Verse 1 We travel the night To listen to all the things you fear We go bump in the night Cos you fear the black inside Pre Chorus So we arrive, dream over night On a silent distant light If we perceive and you believe Then we stay hidden in the night Chorus In the day light We feel all right Till the sundown Then we dig 10 feet Underground Verse 2 Like angels in flight We travel the night in search of you We know what you feel Of course we know how to make it real Repeat Pre Chorus Repeat Chorus Middle 8 It feels paradise Yeah, when we get it right Repeat Chorus
12.
We Believe In Electric Love (John von Ahlen) Verse 1 Nobody can understand me like you do Maybe if I hold you I can become you Engineered for love, in all the right places Knowing that the force of love may replace us Pre Chorus But there is a place Made just for the human race Where our love can grow Electrical is the way to go! Chorus We believe in electric love Free for me, for you, and for all of us Verse 2 I stand beyond the mount of Olympus Feeling the grains of sand shift beneath us I create a crystal palace from nothing I forget that oxygen is for breathing
13.
Factory Friends (John von Ahlen) Verse 1 Everybody was so quiet, everybody slept now for a while You could almost see them crying, see them dancing in the summer rain I told her little secrets while I gently wiped the tears from her eyes I made a promise standing, I told her that I'd stay by her side Pre Chorus Five nights alone (In the twilight we are silent and defiant) Come take me home (We are fighting for our lives and we don't want the Factory) Chorus Jumping up and down we want to reunite But in silence we can only see the night Did they find us? Guess that we will soon find out! Our Factory Friends only want to set things right Verse 2 We heard the horror stories We knew that something bad was on We never realised that we might be singing our last song We saw the factory and we knew that we would not survive So many robots leaving and yet not one of them could cry Repeat Chorus
14.
The End of Summer (John von Ahlen) Verse 1 And now you're standing in the rain You feel anger - I feel pain I never wanted you to go, But we both know it must be so Pre Chorus 1 We are lovers, we are friends We stay together till the end And so we realise at last We're not alone, alone, alone Chorus The end of summer (you know I’ll miss you so) The end of summer (why do you have to go) The end of summer (please stay for one more day) The end of summer (don’t break my heart again) Verse 2 We met under a silver moon The Wormwood flowers still in bloom We tasted many things that day We'll take our secrets far away Pre Chorus 2 We are lovers, we are friends We stay together till the end And so we realise at last We're not alone, alone, alone Repeat Chorus Middle 8 You know I'll miss you so Why do you have to go? Please for stay for one more day Don’t break my heart again Repeat Chorus
15.
Should Not Be (John von Ahlen) Verse 1 We all dream about the future No one knows what lies ahead Do you remember the children playing That was us not so long ago Pre Chorus 1 Do you believe that love can save us? Just be courageous, Ignore the things that shouldn’t be Chorus But I don’t mind, it's okay No I don’t mind, everything's okay Verse 2 And so we follow in the footsteps Of the ones who came before Hollow echoes in the distance A bleak of reminder of what may come to pass Pre Chorus 2 All around us we see the changes But we are blameless Can someone save us? Repeat Chorus
