O TANNENBAUM (Ernst Anschütz) Verse 1 O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum Wie treu sind deine Blätter! Du grünst nicht nur zur Sommerzeit Nein auch im Winter, wenn es schneit O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum wie treu sind deine Blätter! Verse 2 O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum Du kannst mir sehr gefallen Wie oft hat nicht zur Weihnachtszeit Ein Baum von dir mich hoch erfreut O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum Du kannst mir sehr gefallen Verse 3 O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum Dein Kleid will mich was lehren Die Hoffnung und Beständigkeit Gibt Trost und Kraft Zu jeder Zeit O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum Das soll dein Kleid mich lehren

Dreams 04:24
DREAMS (Stevie Nicks) Verse 1 Now here you go again, you say You want your freedom Well who am I to keep you down It’s only right that you should Play the way you feel it But listen carefully to the sound Of your loneliness Like a heartbeat drives you mad In the stillness of remembering what you had And what you lost, and what you had, and what you lost Chorus Thunder only happens when it’s raining Players only love you when they’re playing Say women they will come and they will go When the rain washes you clean, you’ll know, you’ll know Verse 2 Now here I go again, I see the crystal visions I keep my visions to myself, it’s only me Who wants to wrap around your dreams and Have you any dreams you’d like to sell? Dreams of loneliness Like a heartbeat, drives you mad In the stillness of remembering, what you had And what you lost and what you had and what you lost

THE DIGNITY OF LABOUR (PART 3) (Philip Oakey, Martyn Ware and Ian Craig Marsh) Instrumental

I’M NOT SCARED (Chris Lowe and Neil Tennant) Your life’s a mystery, mine is an open book If I could read your mind, I think I’d take a look I don’t care, Baby, I’m not scared What have you got to fight? What do you need to prove? You’re always telling lies, and that’s the only truth I don’t care, Baby, I’m not scared Tonight the streets are full of actors, I don’t know why Oh, take these dogs away from me, before they, they bite What have you got to say, of shadows in your past? I thought that if you paid, you’d keep them off our backs But I don’t care, Baby, I’m not scared What have you got to hide? Who will it compromise? Where do we have to be, so I can laugh and you’ll be free? I’d go anywhere, Baby, I don’t care I’m not scared, I don’t care, Baby, I’m not scared Tonight the streets are full of actors, I don’t know why Oh, take these dogs away from me, before they, they bite Tonight I fought and made my mind up, I know it’s right I know these dogs still snap around us, but I can, I can fight If I was you, if I was you, I wouldn’t treat me the way you do If I was you, if I was you, I wouldn’t treat me the way you do - you If I was you, if I was you, I wouldn’t treat me the way you do If I was you, if I was you, I wouldn’t treat me the way you do - you I’m not scared, Baby, I don’t care, I’d go anywhere Baby, I’m not scared, I’m not scared, No, I’m not scared

Shine 04:53
SHINE (Martin L Gore) Verse 1 Put on your blindfold, And a dress that’s tight And come with me on a mystery night Open your eyes Follow our stars under a painted sky We’ll leave the world behind, we’re learning to fly We used to get by Forget the pictures on your TV screen We’ll steal the visions, that you keep for your dreams You can turn me on I was blind and I saw the light My angel coming in a brilliant white Shine for me Chorus You’ve been hanging from a rope of mediocrity Strung up by your insecurities You can shine for me Somebody has to shine for me It’s difficult not to shine for me Verse 2 Follow our stars under a painted sky We’ll leave the world behind we’re learning to fly We used to get by Forget the pictures on your TV screen We’ll steal the visions that you keep for your dreams You can turn me on

WHO KNOWS WHAT LOVE IS? (Jill Bryson and Rose Mcdowall) Verse 1 Sitting in my front room On a rainy afternoon My mind turns to think of you And how I might see you soon Then I get myself a glass of milk And a color magazine I flick through it slowly But the pages are unseen And I think Chorus Who knows what love is I wonder if you do Who could tell me what love is I wish it could be you I wish it could be you Verse 2 Sitting in my front room As the sun is going down I’m wishing I had someone Who could maybe come around Oh but all I do is watch TV A program I want to But I never see it Cause I’m thinking about you And I think
7.
Fools 05:14
FOOLS (Alan Wilder) Verse 1 Don’t know the reason why I Think I’ve been here before This place seems so familiar But then I can’t be sure Here comes that time again when You’ll walk right out the door Don’t tell me secrets anymore Chorus And fools don’t run away You’ll be followed another day And all the chances that fall your way Are in the fire on your dying day So call me now and tell me that you’re home Verse 2 Can’t see the sense in crying There’s too many tears to fall My thoughts are multiplying So I’ll try to save them all
8.
Love Letters 03:02
LOVE LETTERS (Edward Heyman & Victor Young) Verse 1 Love letters straight from your heart Keep us so near while apart I’m not alone in the night When I can have all the love you write Verse 2 I memorize every line I kiss the name that you sign And darling then I read again right from the start Love letters straight from your heart Parralox -

The Dancer 04:24
THE DANCER (Björn Håkansson & Tim Arnold Norell) Verse 1 It was a simple story of provocation No claim of fame no glory Just aggravation Pre Chorus 1 That might be an answer fading away Running like a shadow wanting to stay Oh, It was a simple story Chorus Burning hot and learning, when you tip toe cross the floor It’s hard to face the music When the dancer you have loved walks out the door Burning hot and learning, like a frozen picture frame No one else can help me stop the pain Verse 2 There’s not a hint of Kristy, no investigation At times my mind goes misty, to much sedation Pre Chorus 2 All that midnight phantoms sharing my bed Mmm, Mixing up the reasons inside my head Oh-oh, It was a simple story Chorus 2 Burning hot and learning, when you tip toe cross the floor It’s hard to face the music When the dancer you have loved walks out the door Burning hot and learning Like a frozen picture frame No one else can help me stop the pain

A Forest 05:32
A Forest Written by Tolhurst, Hartley and Gallup Verse 1 Come closer and see See into the trees Find the girl while you can Come closer and see See into the dark Just follow your eyes Just follow your Eyes Verse 2 I hear her voice calling my name The sound is deep In the dark I hear her voice And start to run Into the trees Into the trees Into the trees Verse 3 Suddenly I stop But i know it's too late I'm lost in a forest All alone The girl was never there It's always the same I'm running towards nothing Again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again....

about

Parralox Melbourne, Australia

If ever there was a new electronic pop band to encapsulate and emulate the legendary stylings of Depeche Mode, The Human League, Erasure, New Order, Pet Shop Boys and the spirit of Madonna in her 80s day-glo era, then Australia’s Parralox are that modern-day reincarnation. ... more
