tina dico - a new situation

From time to time the tables turn
You cross a line, get your fingers burned
Suddenly is a new situation
From day to day, dot to dot
To case to case 'til the cord is cut
Suddenly is a new situation

Everybody wants to believe
They hold the ticket to the train to the Promised Land
Everybody wants to believe it ain't no lie
One day I woke from a dream
On a rocket coming back from another planet
Don't think I'm ever gonna understand why

Nothing is what it used to be
These white walls are all new to me
Time is the doctor and I'm his patient
I don't know what he's done to me
A gentle push or brain surgery
It's gonna take some imagination
This new situation

From A to Z, through and through
The destiny I thought I knew
Suddenly is an open ending
I learnt the tricks, I did the time
My eyes a-fixed on the finishing line
All it is is a new beginning

Everybody dreams of a happy ever after
And gold at the rainbows end
Everybody wants to believe it ain't no lie
Everybody wants the machine
To run faster and faster, out of hand
I don't think I'm ever gonna understand why

Nothing is what it used to be
These white walls are all new to me
Time is the doctor and I'm his patient
I don't know what he's done to me
A gentle push or brain surgery
It's gonna take some imagination
This new situation
Oh yeah
Oh

Nothing is what it used to be
These four walls are all new to me
Time is the doctor and I'm his patient
I don't know what he's done to me
A gentle push or brain surgery
It's gonna take some imagination

Nothing is what it used to be
These white walls are all new to me
Time is the doctor and we're his patients
I don't know what he'll do to us
But things will change, yeah, I know that much
It's gonna take some imagination
This new situation

tina dico - all i see

In every heart
There's a hole
There's a space
for something new

At every start
There's a goal
There's a place
We're running to

But in my strangest dreams
Through nights of feverish screams
I don't know what it means
But all I see is you
And when I've run too far
Chasing that lonesome star
I don't know who you are
But all I see is you...

In every girl
There's a door
An open gate
To walk right through

But every girl
Wants much more
Than she can take
And hold on to

And in my highest hopes
My brushes biggest strokes
A heavy stone that floats
All I see is you
With fear that won't let go
Tears that won't stop to flow
The truth I'll never know
All I see is you...
All I want is you...

And in my highest hopes
My brushes biggest strokes
A heavy stone that floats
All I see is you
And when I've run too far
Chasing that lonesome star
I don't know who you are
But all I see is you...
All I want is you...
All I have is you...

tina dico - an open ending

To mamma, you'll be ok
To her - stay calm,
To daddy, it's much too late
To twist your arm
It's time to go and find something that's yours that no one can steal away
It's time to open the doors to your secret place

There's no answer as big as the question
There's no victory as big as the lesson
You go on and you see where your detours will take you to

There's no power like understanding
There's no beginning like an open ending
You hold on you don't stop to
Believe if you follow through you will learn what is good for you
Someday soon, you will know what is best for you

To mamma, it'll be alright
To her - have faith
It's time go on and find something that lasts
That no one can lose or break
It's time to own up to the task and go make your own mistakes

There's no answer as big as the question
There's no victory as big as the lesson
You go on and you see where your detours will take you to

There's no power like understanding
There's no beginning like an open ending
You hold on, you don't stop to believe if you follow through
You will learn what is good for you
Someday soon, you will know what is best for you

tina dico - back where we started

It's cold when it's October here
so I guess I won't see you at my birthday this year
and who'd have thought a love like that
would wither and wash out as winter pulls near
I'm not gonna cry about it no
I'm just gonna lie about it
your laughter filling my sails

As in fall the golden leaf must give in to the winds
this here tale of love is somehow meant to end where it begins

So
back where we started
back where we started
and why don't we just leave it
no
not broken hearted
just back where we started
and why don't we just leave it at that

The summer asked no questions and the wind found no excuse to abridge our story
over
And nature is a faithless friend and counting on her favours will make you sorry
I'm not gonna cry about you
it's not like I'll die without you
your laughter filling my sails

As in fall the golden leaf must give in to the winds
this here tale of love is somehow meant to end where it begins

So
back where we started
back where we started
and why don't we just leave it
no
not broken hearted
just back where we started
and why don't we just leave it at that

tina dico - boys and girls

Boys forget to eat
Boys forget to ask
Boys forget to sleep
Always drive to fast

Girls forget to love
Girls are scared to fall
Nothing's good enough
Girls just want it all

It's not supposed to be easy
We're not supposed to understand
You're not supposed to leave me
Just because it's difficult to be my

Man... / Woman...

tina dico - break of day

Lying back to back at 10 to 1
Youâ??re awake, like me
Trying to concieve that done is done
You made a mistake, I see
But Iâ??m a little too tired, baby
Itâ??s a little too late

To bring it up
In the weary dark of night
Between black and white
Is a thousand shades of gray
Iâ??m not giving up but I need a little light
Oh â?? save it for the break of day

Mondayâ??s paper scattered on the floor
Lost in time, like me
Nothing that I havenâ??t heard before
A sceptic mind set free
But Iâ??m a little too tired, baby
Itâ??s a little too late

To bring it up
In the weary dark of night
Between black and white
Is a thousand shades of gray
Iâ??m not giving up but I need a little light
Oh â?? save it for the break of day

Youâ??ve been a little bit worried lately
Been a little too scared to make me
Take a stand a chance to maybe
Land this kamikaze romance safely
Iâ??m just a little too tired, baby
Itâ??s a little too late

To bring it up
In the weary dark of night
Between black and white
Is a thousand shades of gray
Iâ??m not giving up but I need a little light
Oh â?? save it for the break of day

tina dico - count to ten

There are faces, there are smiles, so many teeth, too many arms and legs
And eyes and flashing buttons all around me
Iâ??m a-watching, Iâ??m a-breathing, Iâ??m a-pushing, Iâ??m a wishing
That these walls would not be talking quite so loudly
I have lost it once before Iâ??ve pulled myself up from the floor
And I am looking for a reason to stay standing
But sometimes itâ??s just too much or not enough or something else
Itâ??s so much bigger than my head, itâ??s too demanding

Sometimes the fastest way to get there is to go slow
And sometimes if you wanna hold on you got to let go

Iâ??m gonna close my eyes
And count to ten
Iâ??m gonna close my eyes
And when I open them again
Everything will make sense to me then

I have met so many people, weâ??ve exchanged so many words
Weâ??ve said it all and weâ??ve said nothing but itâ??s changed us
I have know a lot of men, some were lovers, some were friends
But all together were they merely passing strangers?
Theyâ??ll control you with their silence, theyâ??ll control you with their words
And youâ??ll control them with your bodyâ??s coded signals
In the wild, entangled gardens of our insecurities
We lose our heads into eachotherâ??s hidden pitfalls

Sometimes the fastest way to get there is to go slow
And sometimes if you wanna hold on you got to let go

Iâ??m gonna close my eyes
And count to ten
Iâ??m gonna close my eyes
And when I open them again
Everything will make sense to me then

tina dico - craftsmanship and poetry

Another evening on your own
You wander round your perfect home
You watch the silent furniture you carefully picked out earlier this year

You wonder how it came to this
Had your aim but it seems you missed
All you wanted was his love but you soon discovered that was not enough

Oh, the silence
Oh, the silence in your house and in your head and in your heart
Is so loud

You thought that he could save your life
If only you would be his wife
You thought the perfect wedding day would make this awful headache go away

Oh, the silence
Oh, the silence in your house and in your head and in your heart

Stop spilling red wine on the carpets
You know the stains won?t come off anymore
Come on surprise us, no compromises this time
Ask more of life, ask more...

Oh, the silence
Oh, the silence in your house and in your head and in your heart

And in your life
Ask more of life
Ask more in life
Ask more...

Ask yourself how much you care
About dining chairs and Baudelaire
Nor craftmanship or poetry can keep a young girl happy forever
You need someone to turn you on, you need to let yourself have fun

tina dico - cruel to the sensitive kind

When my patience has stormed out the door
When my confidence is up against the wall
When my nails're all bitten down and not one second before
That's when you call
That's when you call

When my head hurts all the way into every strain of my hair
When your absence hangs like a threat in the air
When it seems so clear that you really do not care
Suddenly you call
Suddenly you call

What are my weapons?
I can't compete?
When all I get points for
Is to smile and be sweet
My iron gate closes
But you never notice
This war in my mind
Love is cruel to the sensitive kind

When the moment has gone tired and cold
When the silence is out of control
When I've said the stupidest things to try and fill this bottomless hole
Finally you speak
Finally you speak

What are my weapons?
I can't compete?
When all I get points for
Is to smile and be sweet
My iron gate closes
But you don't even notice
There's a war in my mind
Love is cruel to the sensitive kind

tina dico - different

Hear me out
I have to tell you something
Your endless hesitation wears me out
I know that's just who you are
You're... Quiet...

But all that I want
All that I need
Is a little bit of honesty
When it comes to the matter of your inner wishes and wants
Why is that such a problem for you?

Hear me out
I really have to tell you
Your calm preoccupation wears me out
With all that you do and all that you say
It's a little bit too bizarre
You're not giving me one good reason to hold on

Won't you hear me
It's hard enough as it is
Oh baby, you're so airy
It's driving me crazy
Won't you hear me
It's hard enough as it is
Oh baby, you make me worry

We have to try both you and I
'Cause we are different
I'll let it show, you have to know
That I am different
It is up to you, give me a clue
How are you different?
Just reach out to me, just let me see...

Help me out
I really need to know you
Your casual concealments freak me out
What, you think I can't tell?
With all that I've heard, all that they say
It'd be a little bit strange for you to say no
I reckon that's still a problem for you
Ask me out
You could help me on my way
Some sense of empathy is one of those fundamental things
That anyone should know
Yet every time and every way we go
It feels is if I'm always two steps behind

Won't you hear me
It's hard enough as it is
Oh baby, you're so airy

We have to try both you and I
'Cause we are different
I'll let it show, you have to know
That I am different
It is up to you, give me a clue
How are you different?
Just reach out to me, just let me see...

How can you love when you don't know me?

tina dico - dont think twice its all right

It aint no use to sit and wonder why, babe
It dont matter, anyhow
An it aint no use to sit and wonder why, babe
If you dont know by now
When your rooster crows at the break of dawn
Look out your window and Ill be gone
Youre the reason Im travlin on
Dont think twice, its all right

It aint no use in turnin on your light, babe
That light I never knowed
An it aint no use in turnin on your light, babe
Im on the dark side of the road
Still I wish there was somethin you would do or say
To try and make me change my mind and stay
We never did too much talkin anyway
So dont think twice, its all right

It aint no use in callin out my name, gal
Like you never did before
It aint no use in callin out my name, gal
I cant hear you any more
Im a-thinkin and a-wondrin all the way down the road
I once loved a woman, a child Im told
I give her my heart but she wanted my soul
But dont think twice, its all right

Im walkin down that long, lonesome road, babe
Where Im bound, I cant tell
But goodbyes too good a word, gal
So Ill just say fare thee well
I aint sayin you treated me unkind
You could have done better but I dont mind
You just kinda wasted my precious time
But dont think twice, its all right

tina dico - everybody knows

It always had to look good
It always had to be perfect
It always had to look easy
So tell me now was it worth it?

You stand in the doorway
With a bag full of words that you can't say
Your distant eyes on the tv
Your distant eyes won't see me
But it's written across the blue skies
You're scared to stumble and realise
That underneath the cover
We're all as frail as eachother
We're all as frail as eachother

Everybody knows
You're falling and it shows
Nothing stays where nothing grows
And everybody knows

It doesn't have to look good
And you don't have to be perfect
It doesn't even have to be easy
No, if you're open it's worth it

Your hand in your pocket
I watch you stuggling to stop it
From getting out in the open
Your heart's desire awoken
But it's written in shallow waters
Your hand is taking its orders
From someone scared to discover
That we're all as mad as eachother
We're all as mad as eachother

Everybody knows
You're breaking and it shows
Nothing stays where nothing grows
And everybody knows

Your body's a mirror
No words could say it clearer
Like silent poems on your forehead
That turn dishonest and sordid
And there's only one thing you can do
Let it live and let it through
It's time to open...

Everybody knows
You're falling and it shows
Nothing stays where nothing grows
And everybody knows

tina dico - fallen madonna

The fallen madonna
Stripped from the clothes she once wore
Gone from a saint to a whore
Beautiful girl
Where were your eyes?

The fallen madonna
Benched at the end of the line
In the sunken cathedral of time
Beautiful girl
Caught in your own headlights

The fallen madonna
Asleep at the wheel
Taking the long way home
With a dream to kill
Singin, 'what do I know?
And who can I trust?
When all I can call my own
Is the memory of all I've lost'

I can't hold on anymore
I can't go it alone
I can't be hard anymore
I need somebody to hold me

The fallen madonna
A flash in the night
An ain't it a long way down
When you've climbed so high
Come on give us your best
Be perfect and strong
Come give your audience a bow
And sing us one last song

I can't hold on anymore
I can't go it alone
I can't be hard anymore
I need somebody to hold

I can't hold on anymore
I cant't go it alone
No I can't be hard anymore
I need somebody to hold me

tina dico - forever

Forever
I could search for words
And nothing I would find
Forever
I could seek your truth
And nothing you'd reveal

So now I must leave while I can
While I'm still in one piece
Either way I will be lonely
And maybe you'll see what I meant
Maybe it's not much
Maybe... We'll see

Forever
I could await your call
And nothing I would hear
And never
Would I find peace
Oh no, with you

So now I must leave while I can
While I'm still in one piece
And either way I will be lonely
And maybe you'll see what I meant
Maybe it's not much
Maybe...

Maybe you'll see that you needn't be frightened
You can do better
You know better
Should I find courage to keep on pushing you
Maybe you'd open?

Who am I fooling?

Forever...

tina dico - friend in a bar

I met a friend in a bar last night
A girl from a far away past
We counted and worked out that it been more than seven years
Since we saw each other last

She looked so much older I'll have to say
She used to dress so lovely and smart
And now her colours they were fated and her hair was in mess
Her expression was tired and hard

I asked her what she had been up to since then
She hesitated a while
She drew a nervous breath and sighed "Not much to be honest"
Through a shame-faced smile

We sat there all night side by side
The conversation was slow
A few times I got up and said: "Okay, well..."
But I could tell she didn't want me to go

At three in the morning she suddenly said
"Truth is I've done nothing at all
My mind's been much too busy thinking of a man
And waiting for him to recall

He left me on the day that I turned twenty-one
For years now I've been on my own
I'm scared that if I change or if I leave my house too long
I won't be there when he decides to come home"

I asked about the man and her eyes lit up
Taste of his name brought her right out of her shell
She said: "It wasn't always easy, he's a complicated man
But I know he loves me and I know he mend well

He still calls now and then in the death of my nights
He asks if I'm alone in bed
And I tell him "babe, of course I am, I'm yours now and forever
Please, don't hang up"... and then the line goes dead"

Wow, nice guy!

I met a friend in a bar last night
A girl that lives in the past
I got up on my feet and I ran out
Thinking please don't let me catch the cruel disease she has
