Your Promise

With tears in your eyes
You said you did not want to die
Your promise was made in the heat of love
In the cold light of day love is not enough
Other things have to be taken into consideration
Life is all about reaching a Compromise Solution.

Your promise
Which you now break
Just like my heart;
Your promise
Was a big mistake
From the very start;
Your promise
Was a big fake
Just like your heart.

Babe, please don’t blame yourself at all
Everyone is to blame and your share is small
Everyone has to take care of their own skin
Never mind the hole you’ve dumped me in
I’ll climb out and pull myself together …
But your lips, your lips promised forever!

Your promise
Which you now break
Just like my heart;
Your promise
Was a big mistake
From the very start;
Your promise
Was a big fake
Just like your heart.

When life gets too hard
Everybody has to act like a coward
Otherwise life would come to an end
Everything breaks that cannot bend …
So this is the end of the road for me
I’m straight and true, as you can see.

Your promise
Which you now break
Just like my heart;
Your promise
Was a big mistake
From the very start;
Your promise
Was a big fake
Just like your heart.

Star-crossed Love

Star-crossed love is doomed to die
The very heavens conspire to make us cry
Star-crossed love is a joy that’s brief
But the heartbreak means everlasting grief
Star-crossed love makes us hold our breath
We know it means certain death.

We have to tell lies
And make sure we have alibis
We have to mask our faces
And meet in out of the way places
We have to make love in a hurry
All the time afraid of discovery.

Star-crossed love is doomed to die
The very heavens conspire to make us cry
Star-crossed love is a joy that’s brief
But the heartbreak means everlasting grief
Star-crossed love makes us hold our breath
We know it means certain death.

Every boy and girl has a bit on the side
The heartache begins when we don’t want to hide
But it’s a crime to bring love into the open
Our parents and relatives will never give permission
The love-light dims and goes out in our eyes
Our souls die when we’re forced to compromise.

Star-crossed love is doomed to die
The very heavens conspire to make us cry
Star-crossed love is a joy that’s brief
But the heartbreak means everlasting grief
Star-crossed love makes us hold our breath
We know it means certain death.

Learn from all the stories in the past
Love like this is not meant to last
Societies rise up and say with one voice
‘You cannot follow your heart’s choice
Be like us and follow our tradition
Take our poison – and then pass it on’.

Star-crossed love is doomed to die
The very heavens conspire to make us cry
Star-crossed love is a joy that’s brief
But the heartbreak means everlasting grief
Star-crossed love makes us hold our breath
We know it means certain death.

They curse and punish us for being in love
But we are blessed by the gods above
The future has been mapped out for you and I
The gods will turn to nectar every tear we now cry …
We can’t live apart, we can’t live together
But no-one can stop us from dying together –
Together forever.

Star-crossed love is doomed to die
The very heavens conspire to make us cry
Star-crossed love is a joy that’s brief
But the heartbreak means everlasting grief
Star-crossed love makes us hold our breath
We know it means certain death.
