MILKY OCEAN       


BERLIN’S WIND

Music and Lyrics: REKHA

                         

                                                                                                 

Tango Argentina in the + Red Salon with Boris and Jutta + Our fixed eyes followed + Proud strides around the dance floor + Like we did so many a night before and + Eins, Zwei, Drei, + Vier, Funf, Sechs + Sieben, Acht und… + Just like we did in dance class + Our Love’s a Milky Ocean + With no beginning and no end

Afterwards a quick stop over + At Rashid’s in the + Famous Oderberger Straβe + Laughing, talking with some good friends + As we drank our tropical Mango Lassis

Zion’s Kirche, down to Danziger and + Straight through the crowded Mauer + Our Love’s a Milky Ocean + With no beginning and no end

There’s always magic in Berlin + There’s always magic in Berlin’s wind + There’s always magic in Berlin + Your disillusion makes you break

DU BIST MEIN LIEBE + DU BIST MEIN FREUND

There’s always magic in Berlin’s wind + Your disillusion’s your greatest mistake + Your disillusion’s your greatest mistake

Jauntily together flowing + There can be no + Greater love than you my Liebling + Harmony rich, deep and so free + I’m mesmerized by your + Magnificent Sturmius Star and

There’s always magic in Berlin + There’s always magic in Berlin’s wind + Though it’s always raining in Berlin + There’s always magic in Berlin’s wind + Though it’s always raining in Berlin + Though it's always raining in Berlin + Though it's always raining in Berlin 

                     

                                                                          

                                                                         

SHRI SHRI MA
Music and Lyrics: REKHA

            

                                                               


I feel the currents gently moving + Into my soul it’s Divya Shakthi + From the cosmos coming at me + A constant force so invigorating

MA picks me up when I am down, down, down + To listen for her resonating sound + The sound of OM is in the wind + In her atmosphere in every being

And Shri Shri MA ensures that I am + More than blissful and sound + Salutations to Shri Shri MA + Thank you for making me whole and one + A hundred and eight Divine Names + Of Shri Shri Nimishamba + OM Namo Namo + Shri Shri Nimishamba

Omnipresent she is here + Omnipotent guiding light, healing light + Try to hear her whispering call + She’ll free you from all the Chains of Chaos

And you will find the strength in you too + It lies in the chanting of Her sweet name + A hundred and eight Divine Names + Of Shri Shri Nimishamba + OM Namo Namo + Shri Shri Nimishamba + OM Namo Namo + Shri Shri Nimishamba + OM Namo Namo + Shri Shri Nimishamba + Namostute

                                               


DAMNED LULLABY
Music and Lyrics: REKHA

                     

                                                       

                                                                   

                                                                     

The nights cold and boundless + I’m harrowed in the dark + The nights without you Dear + I can not survive + How shall I go on? + How shall I live? + Without any purpose + An Eden so far + An Eden so far

Catch me I’m falling, falling + Out of my mind into my own grave + I lay in the wretched ruins + Of my Damned Lullaby

Smeared in your ashes + I long only to die + Pierced with your memory + A mournful lullaby + No one can save me + My weakness prevails + Livid am I + Can not find the way out + An Eden so far

Flashes of us rising + Burning my mind + Etched in your love + Why do I choose to remain? + My wild wicked heathen + So cruel and untrue + To a heart that’s so gentle + So pure and so true + An Eden so far

                                                                     

                                            

                                   

                                                  

STANDING ALONE
Music and Lyrics: REKHA

                               

                                                                                             

So here I am standing alone + Just waiting for a simple hello + Lost in you + I live my life so twisted and confused + Doesn’t make any sense at all

But this ain’t right + No it ain’t right + Gotta feeling you might think so too + Standing alone

You shook up my world + And now everything has changed + You walked away, away from me + I want our precious love again + You said you needed time, time + But time has passed us by + All over again, again + Baby not again

Ahn...Ehn-Ehn + Living my life in shades of grey + No, I just want you to stay + Ahn...Ehn-Ehn + Living my life in shades of grey + No, don’t you go away

So here I am standing alone + With you in my heart + I know my faith will pull you through + Right back to me + With the challenge of being me + Living free + Moving on endlessly + And they say + Life ain’t about all the shades of grey

Ahn...Ehn-Ehn + Living my life in shades of grey + No, don’t you go way + Ahn...Ehn-Ehn + Living my life in shades of grey + No, I just want you to stay + No, Baby don’t you go away

So here I am standing alone + Just waiting for a simple hello

Ahn...Ehn-Ehn + Living my life in shades of grey + No, I just want you to stay + Ahn...Ehn-Ehn + Living my life in shades of grey + No, don’t you go away

                                              

  

                                          

SUGAR BABY CLOWN
Music and Lyrics: REKHA

                                      

     

                                                                                       

Tell me something good to hear + Leave your shit and take and it outta here + Don’t talk to me in circles so free + Thinking that I’m your favourite Sugar Baby Clown

Leave me alone, the same old song + Destroying my mind like you always do + Hey what’s going on? + Just go and buzzer off! + Go and hang out with Super Man + It’ll make you feel like more of a man

I won’t listen to you + No I won’t let you under my skin + Thinking you can mess me up + To shatter my brain with your venomous ways

Now go on scat + Had just about enough of that + Don’t drag me down with your famous frowns + Cuz I ain’t nobody’s Sugar Baby Clown + Go and hang out with Super Man + It’ll make you feel like more of a man

I’m so tired of feeling misunderstood + And you don’t treat me quite the way you should + You’d just better listen up real good + Go and hang out with your best buddy Super Man, No I ain’t, I ain't, nobody’s + Sugar Baby Clown

Nobody’s Sugar Baby Clown

                 

                                                           

                                                            

HER DREAM
Music and Lyrics: REKHA

                              

                                                            

                                                                                 

And so what if + The struggle seems impossible + Too hard to bear + The voices in my head + Are permanently there + But I accept them

The wasted years + Can not be replaced, I know + But I won’t look back + And what is done is done + I can only move ahead + Be strong, be bold

You asked me and I told you + It’s no use + I don’t need your love anymore + If that’s what your love is

I know + It won’t be + Easy + I don’t give a damn what you think
I’m moving on and I will not + Change my mind

Walk on, walk on + Oh girl, walk + Straight on, straight on

                                                                              

                             

 

SEMPLICETTA TORTORELLA
Music and English Lyrics: REKHA
Italian Lyrics: Metastasio


Semplicetta + Tortorella + Che non vede il + Suo periglio

Per fuggir dal crudo artiglio + Vola in grembo al cacciator + Per fuggir dal crudo artiglio + Vola in grembo al cacciator

Life’s bright Sky high + Beyond the Hunter’s Eye

Hapless frighted Dove + Use your lighting wings + Bear thee safe far away + From the Hunter’s snare

Per fuggir dal crudo artiglio + Vola in grembo al cacciator + Per fuggir dal crudo artiglio + Vola in grembo al cacciator

Life’s bright Sky high + Beyond the Hunter’s Eye

                                        

SPIRIT OF RADIO
Music: Geddy Lee/Alex Lifeson
Lyrics: Neil Peart


                                             

Begin the day with a friendly voice + A companion unobtrusive + Plays that song that’s so elusive + And the magic music makes your morning mood

Off on your way, hit the open road + There is magic at your fingers + For the Spirit ever lingers + Undemanding contact in your + Happy solitude yeah

Invisible airwaves crackle with life + Bright antennae + Bristle with the energy + Emotional feedback + On timeless wavelength + Bearing a gift beyond price + Almost free

All this machinery making modern music + Can still be open hearted + Not so coldly charted + It’s really just a question of honesty, yeah + Your honesty + One likes to believe + In the freedom of music + But glittering prizes + And endless compromises + Shatter the illusion of integrity yeah

For the words of the profits + Were written on the studio wall + Concert hall + And echoes with the sounds of salesmen

                                                                             

       

BROKEN PEOPLE
Music and Lyrics: REKHA


                           

                    

Grey clouds over my broken + People, so gentle + But they’re dying, they got nowhere to go + Save them, they are weeping + I am listening, I am coming

I’m gonna wave with the Mighty Sea + No matter how hard it is + I’m gonna live for tomorrow + Bless this world with some happiness + I’m gonna feel for my fellow man + Cuz’ his sorrow’s real deep + Though it takes lots of courage + There’s no other choice for me

So I’m gonna try, I’m gonna try, try + With everything that I got + I’m gonna try, I’m gonna try, try + With everything that I’m made of + I’m gonna do more than I’ve been + Doing all along + I’m gonna try, I’m gonna try, try + To wipe out some of that pain

Wishing and hoping + It ain’t gonna change a damn thing + And the voices they continue + Sounds of hopelessness, my dear people +  I am listening, I am coming

                                       

                                               

                                                            

DOESN’T MATTER WHY
Music and Lyrics: REKHA

           

And it doesn’t matter why, you told me + That we’d be best friends for all of the time + And it doesn’t matter why, you told me + That I would always be your only Queen Bee

And it doesn’t matter why, you told me + That he would never come around me again + And it doesn’t matter why, you never told me + That you weren’t sorry bout’ the way you behaved

Instead you just let me go + Without a word you didn’t care to show me + That you wanna make it all alright + Together with me

And it doesn’t matter why, I still love you + Nothing’s changed for me though you still stay so cruel + And it doesn’t matter why, I go on lovin’ you + I can’t let go of all those wonderful times

Am I good enough for you? + I’m still foolishly asking +  Well there ain’t anyone else that I want so bad + And I don’t wanna say, Aufwiedersehen + I can’t help it there’s no way outta here

Do you think of me? + I’m still foolishly asking + Do you like the way that we have become? + The direction you have chosen + And are you feelin’ blue? + Deep deep blue + The way I feel, when I think about you

It doesn’t matter why + That you were’nt sorry

    

EVERY LITTLE THING
Music and Lyrics: REKHA

                                                                                                 

Our Garden’s in full bloom but do you care? + The sky is oh so blue but still you’re nowhere + Well I ain’t gonna watch you slip and fade + No way

The wind on your skin you can feel it + Life’s mysteries but we can see it + And so the Truth in you lies deep inside + Reach for it, reach for it

Is it all so bad being down here? + Does it all have to be such a big deal? + The way you’re going + Ain’t taking you nowhere, nowhere Baby

I can’t help it f you won’t let me + I can’t help it if you won’t try + No, I can’t help it f you won’t let me inside + Won’t you let me inside?

You can’t let every little little thing, get under your skin + Don’t let every little little thing get under + Every little little thing, gets under your skin + Don’t let every little little thing get under + How?

                  

SUNFLOWER
Music: REKHA/EddieBullen
Lyrics: Rekha


Regal you’re by nature + You enchant my world and more + Behind the garden gate + I’m honoured by the gift you are + Longing for September + To be swept away again + Exquisite beauty + A brilliant gem you are

Adoration’s + Running deep within me + My Sunflower + Sunflower of mine + Won’t you stay now + For just a little while longer + My Sunflower? + Sunflower of mine + Sunflower of mine + Sunflower of mine

Majestic hues in shades of + Yellow, brown and green + I escape for a short and precious time + To my place of congruity + The World’s a Toxic Hazy Mess + Incomprehensible in front of you + Exquisite beauty + A brilliant gem you are

Adoration’s + Running deep within me + When there is you + Sunflower + Won’t you stay now + For just a little while longer +  My Sunflower? + Sunflower of mine + Sunflower of mine + Sunflower of mine
