THE SECRET GARDEN
This is a song which talks about an anxious and surrealistic love, where you need to have everything under control, and you can take your love to the secret garden of your dreams.
 

I am only dreaming so don´t bother me at all
and you keep moving closer closer to my heart
you are surely hiding a secret I should know
let me love you twice today, tomorrow I don´t know... what I´ll do

I am only waiting so please c´mon back to me
I am only sleeping to recover from the beat
you are surely hiding a secret I should know
let me love you twice today, tomorrow I don´t know... what I´ll do

Babe (babe) let me tell you (telling you)
what (what) I´m doing now (doing now)
babe (babe) let me take you (taking you)
to the secret garden of my dreams

to the secret garden of my...

DAD
This song talks about those bands who are lucky, and generally about those people who are very lucky and they have to do nothing to success, with all kind of contacts, and those other bands and people who are not so lucky but they want to reach the same goal, so they need to fight every day with courage, since nothing is easy to them. I think that we belong to this second group. Nobody gives us as present.
 

They´ve got the luck
they´ve got the fame
and they need no-one else to run
They´ve got their dad
who drives them high
we want a dad who does the same too

Someone tries to justify whether they´re right or they´re wrong again today

We´ve got to fight
we´ve got to shout
we´ve got to go out to the streets
We´ve got to wait
outside and play
until somebody trusts what we say

Someone tries to justify whether they´re right or they wrong again today

I´m nothing more than you and you are nothing more than me, oh yeah

Give your heart
give your mind
give your soul or go away
keep your faith
keep your dreams
keep your soul or go away

MAGIC LAND
This is a semi-surrealistic song that talks about taking advantage of everything, taking advantage of life, and sometimes it´s useful to get away to your favourite place, your dreamed land, and spend such good times.

You and I and they and we try to move and try to run outside and cry
why are we the same as them and why are you the same as me when I try to smile

Today we´re going to play a game in which we all can win
the stars will lose their bright tonight if you don´t stay
tomorrow it will be another day we cannot wait
we needn´t run but we must spend this night the best we can,
and the best we are, the best we have,
inside our hearts there is a land
a place where we can stand and run (to hide)

You and I and they and we try to dream and try to fly away everyday
should we go or should we wait ´till the end of a lonely day, we´ll stay or go away

My land is covered with amounts of sand but we must run
if we don´t want to lose this chance we´d better dance
we could slowly walk along this path, the shore we are
now it doesn´t matter much to me where you are
if you can come and take my hand
I´ll lead you to the magic land where we can reach the sun
close we are (and fly)

You and I and they and we try to stand up try to sit down here where we lie now

HAVE YOU EVER...?
This song talks about imagination, which we should use more than we usually do, and we should lose our fear of imaging whatever we want, do different and new things, and try to innovate and invent...
 

Have you ever listened to the start of my story?
Have you ever dreamt of little goblins at your window?
When I try to sleep at night
I can see them come near me
I want to believe that it´s a dream and they´re not real

...but I can swear I could see nine...

(You should) Guess what you have to do
feed your imagination feeling
just like your mind designs
listen to the little goblins, little voices, little feelings...

... like the night before the day...
... like the clouds behind the sky...

Have you ever listened to the end of my story?

STUPID GIRL (The Newsies)
This song talks about feelings, despair,... of those times when everything goes wrong and turns confused. It talks about wandering and wasting time.
 

Everything is going wrong because my baby left me
every night I lay awake thinking about you, honey
every time the phone rings like a police siren
I wish somebody´d come along... along...

And I always lose my mind when I´m fine...
every night I lay awake dull affairs...
you´d better stop the siren like a stupid girl...
you´d better stop the siren, girl... my girl...

And I always waste my time
in a winter´s garden,
like a stupid girl
And I´m making up my mind
like a police siren,
like a stupid girl
And I´m making up my mind
like a police siren...
Stupid girl!!

And I always lose my mind when I´m fine...
You´d better stop the siren, girl... my girl...

CHANGE
This is a rebel but a positive song, which talks about change, of breaking with the past and doing new things, breaking with everything and starting a new life. Breaking with prejudgements, with ourselves, and turn everything to something better, changing our points of view, and our life style,... fighting for our dreams with strength and conviction, fighting for our ideals, being always in a positive attitude to reach whatever we wish... changing always for better, and doing everything JUST NOW!!!
 

Change, change your point of view, change your ways
change the games you play, change again...
change for better...
You should have changed, changed your way of life, changed your name,
changed your clothes, changed your old ideas
for newer ones...

Fight with the strength of your new dream...
fight with the strength of your new life...

I can´t understand why you´re walking back home
you told me you´d never surrender
I can´t understand why you´re leaving me alone
now that we´re having new chances

Change, don´t believe the promise they have made,
don´t believe the world that they have built,
don´t believe them...
Make up your mind, don´t let life pass you by this time,
don´t let them wash your brain again,
don´t surrender...

PRETEND
This song talks about the necessity of pretending to get whatever we want in this such competitive society, and sometimes we need to perform some roles that we don´t like just to get something. But when we want to get a girl, then we can´t pretend and we´re ourselves, and it´s all so sad...
 

I pretend that I am trying deep and closer
to forget the ribbons of my soul
but the time has made me feel that there´s no other
way to show, to show your bones instead

I´m always trying to pretend
that this is just the way
but when I am in front of you
I can´t behave as I would like, it´s all so sad...

I pretend that I am always laughing
since I understand that everything is wrong
I will send all my love to everybody
just in case someone sends me too

LITTLE PRINCESS
This song talks about an ideal little princess who we pay all our attention to, and with we find out new and pleasant sensations.
 

Hey, little princess, come into my arms and don´t look back
come, little wonder, hold me tight and never go away

Time to discover
new sensations hidden by the sea

And little princess, let me be the heroe of your dreams
come, little wonder, let me feel that you are just like me

Time to discover
new sensations hidden by the sea
look for me walking on the rainbow
look for me waiting all this time

Little princess, little wonder,
give me just one chance...then I will understand...
little princess, little wonder,
lead me to your land...a place where we can stand...

CRAZY LITTLE SNOWGIRL
This song talks about opposite feelings, and the need to get away off them, looking for new senations in the dreams world and relaxing emotions like being flying.
 

And if you tried to be more conscious
it would be easier to forget...
and if you wanted all or nothing
my crazy little snowgirl (little snowgirl)

But if I have to do what I am told
I don´t want to go
I feel as if I was dreaming
And if I have to live inside the cold
I will have to moan
I feel as if I was flying

Tell me something I can understand
give me something I can feel
the kind of things that you know I like
my crazy liitle snowgirl (little snowgirl)

I feel as if I was flying...
