THE RUBBER SOUL PROJECT 2

Zero

So often I have not been heard
So many times misunderstood
but someone told me
Zero is just another even number

I often felt I’d had enough
So many times I’d been fed up
and I wonder
if zero is just another even number

Digging through my dreams
where nothing’s as it seems
trying to find the way
the easy way out
Soon I’m going to go away
Soon I’m going to be okay
I know I’m going to find the way
the only way out

In spite of all that I have done
I’m sure I was to be the one
The odd thing is that
Zero is just another even number
Just another even number
Another even number
Even number
Number.

Everybody’s Rocking Tonight

Now if you feeling kinda lonely
And if you feeling kinda bad
There’s a band down in the ballroom
and they’ll never make you sad.

They’ve got heavy pumpin’ rhythm
Running straight down to your soul
Have you heard the latest news
the people call it rock’n’roll.

You just get down on the floor
But you better do it right,
’cause everybody’s rocking tonight.

And if you’re only got a dime
There’s a lot that you can do
You can put it in the juke-box
and the beat’ll pull you through.

You can hear it all around you
it’s ringing like a bell
You just need a heavy dose
to make you really sound and well.

You just get down on the floor
But you better do it right,
’cause everybody’s rocking tonight.

I know ’cause I was lonely too
But pretty soon I found a cure
I heard the tune I saw the light
I just got there on the floor
did my best to do it right and
everybody’s rocking tonight.

India

Let’s take a trip to India
Where lotus flowers grow
Let’s take a trip to India
Where muddy rivers flow.

I want to show you India
With warm and heavy rains
I want to show you India
And sunny, dusty days.

I’ll let you light my insence stick
And brush my hair aside
I promise you a jungle tour
And a lazy elephant ride.

Let’s take a trip to India
There’s so much there to see
Let’s teke a trip to India
My sitar, you and me,
My guitar, you and me,
My mother, you and me,
My Martha, you and me.

If You’ve Got Troubles

If you’ve got troubles well you just call on me
If you’ve got troubles there’s a place where we can be
If you’re feeling sad and blue
You can stay with me tonight
If you’ve got troubles, oh yeah
I’ll make it right

If you’ve got troubles you won’t need to pretend
If you’ve got troubles I’ll be there to lend a hand
When you’ve cried out all your tears
I would help to see the light
If you’ve got troubles, oh yeah

Here I am standing right by your side
Here I am, baby don’t run and hide
I can’t stand to see you sad
I won’t let you go tonight
If you’ve got troubles, oh yeah
I’ll make it right.

Moonglow

Moonglow shining on a river
Moonglow turnin’ everything to silver
I know her touch will make me shiver
when I take her by the hand, oh, oh

Sunshine everytime I see her
Sunshine the moment when I kiss her
Some time she’ll know I’ll never leave her
If I take her by the hand, oh oh

I know, moonglow,
won’t let me be
moonglow, please show,
your love to me

I Lost My Little Girl

Someone had seen my baby talking
(sha-la-la, talking to him)
Someone had seen my baby walking
(sha-la-la, walking with him)
Someone had told me she was doing alright
(oh yeah, doing alright)
Someone had told me he was holding her tight
(oh yeah, holding her tight)

But I still don’t believe
Every word they say is a lie
But I still can’t conceive
The reason why I cry

I lost my little girl
The only one in the whole wide world
I lost her, and I don’t know what I’ll do
I lost my little girl
And I’m feeling like the broken man should
I lost her, and I know it’s true.

Winston’s Walk

Everybody loves somebody else
Everywhere I look, it happens just the same
Everyone is looking for somebody else,
they shuffle the faces, they forget the names.

You’re holding my hand while you’re thinking of him
so it’s happening baby now, to you and me
You’re dancing with me, but your mind’s with him
it’s happening to us, It’s just plain to see.

So, hush now honey, don’t you see a thing
don’t try to explain, don’t try to talk
just sway with me to this gentle swing
It’s the last time we’re doing the
last time we’re doing the
Winston’s Walk.

Used to be a step forward and one step back
And another one to take us off the track
So hush now baby don’t try to talk
It’s the last time we’re doing the
Winston’s Walk.

The Years Roll Along

I feel there’s something more that I should say
I thought that you would never go away
Today I know how much I was wrong

I never will forget the sight of you
I always will recall the things you do
As time goes by and years roll along

Now we finally see that we were worlds apart
and there was nothing smart that we could do.
There’s no use in trying
there’s no second chance
for our poor romance, we know it’s true

Someday when you see me walking by
Give me your sweet smile, try not to cry
’cause deep inside I’m not very strong
As time goes by and years roll along

This Is Not Here

One step at a time our world is falling apart
without any sign of a fresh new start
And life after life
we’re pushing away
from trouble and strife
to find a brand new day

This is not here, this is not somewhere else
No, this is not here, it’s all over the place
This is not here, it doesn’t make any sense
This is not here,
This is not here.
And once we are gone, no reason to mourn
’cause time after time we are being reborn.
This is not here...

Hitch-Hike

We are the same
Tell me your name
Come ride with me
to fortune and fame
I’ll make you strong
I’ll make you belong
If you dare to hitch-hike with me

You’ll bring me up
When I am down
You’ll light a smile
under my frown
I’ll be there to hold
In nights long and cold
If you dare to hitch-hike with me

Hitch-hike
Under big starry sky
Hitch-hike forever
Just you and I
on hitch-hike.

In The Old Hillbilly Way

Come on, baby what you say
Come on, will you ride with me today, let’s go
To hear the band play
in the old hillbilly way.

Come on, baby come and get it
Come on, you know you won’t regret it, yeah, oh yeah
We’ll be rolling in the hay (rolling in the hay-hay-hay)
in the old hillbilly way.

Oh honey you look so fine
You’re just too good to be true
Oh honey you must be mine
My mind is set on you, oo.

So long, you know I could not stay
Good bye, I’m sure you’ll be okay,
who knows, who knows
We’ll be rolling in the hay (rolling in the hay-hay-hay)
In the old hillbilly way.

Too Bad About Sorrows

You know I tried to show you that
my love for you was true
But you had lied when you said
I was the only one for you.

So I will go, you broke my heart
and now what’s done is done
Someday you’ll know, when we’re apart
I really was the one.

And I won’t feel too bad about sorrows
There will be no sad tomorrows, I won’t
feel too bad about sorrows, oh no, oh no
There’s always something to hold on
And I’m not feeling sad and blue
There’s always someone’s helping hand
but no you, no you, no you.
Too bad about sorrows, oh no, oh no
Too bad about sorrows, oh no, oh no

Pink Litmus Paper Shirt

Down by the banks they are
Standin’ and starin’
Someone has buried his pink limousine
Rainbow dressed lady with
Titanic thumb
Pickin’ strangest fruits they’d ever seen.

The shirt on my back has just
Started to crack
Changin’like litmus, frail like her breath
Small paper saint, his wings covered
With paint
Shiny with big pearls of sweat.

Pink litmus paper shirt

Little girls juggle money-bags full of
Stained glass
Their little feet barely touching the street
Print color’s bleeding all over
The grass
Is announcing another retreat.

Always And Only

Someday when you see me, standing there wasted & lonely
Will you remember, will you recall
The times when it was you for me
Always and only
Will you remember, will you recall

You close your eyes,
pretend that you were sleeping
but I know you’re awake
But I know you’re awake
I sense the heavy secret that you’re keeping
Everything seems so fake

I see the end,
and I’m so close to weeping
How much can I take
In the hour-glass our time silently seeping,
it will soon have to break.

Anyway

Every day
We put aside a word or two
Every day
We write another line for you

It worked out better than we’d planned
It feels (sounds) so good now near the end
Who’s to say
We only knew how to pretend
Anyway…

Anyway…
It worked out better than we’d planned!

Belgrade 2020

You’ve been gone and stayed too long
Leaving me to write this song for you
Chances are more than fifty-fifty
Once again in Belgrade city
For us two.

Well, I used to see your face
In every thing and every place I know
Now what else is left to do
Than to sing this song to you
Nice and slow.

See you, see you
See you in Belgrade 2020

Everywhere around
People come to join the song.
And noone seems to mind
if the chords are slightly wrong.
The majestic sound Like a drum
Helping us along.

You’ve been gone and stayed too long
Now all I have is just this song for you
Chances are even more than fifty-fifty
To show you this city through and through
See you, see you
See you in Belgrade 2020

Everywhere around…

You’ve been gone and stayed too long
Now all I have is just this song for you
Chances are much more than fifty-fifty
Once again in Belgrade city
For us two.

See you, see you
See you in Belgrade 2020…

Knight of Hearts

Many have tried
Many have failed
And it goes on like this
To this very day.

But no one could do it
Win over our hearts
The way that he did
– the Knight of Arts.

(instr.)

Master of figures
Shadow and line
King of atmosphere
With vision divine.

Telling us stories
Blowing our minds
Drawing his magic
So deep and sublime.

Yes, no one could do it
The Master of Arts
The way that he did
– the Knight of Hearts.

Knight of Arts, Knight of Arts, Knight of Hearts...
