Bonfire - Proud Of My Country
i was raised in a smalltown - just a little german boy

i didn't care about history - i just cared about my toys



i never felt responsible - for what happened in a war

but they made me feeling guilty - even though i wasn't born (that time)



i remember i was 18 - when i heard the army call

and i learned a lot about killing man - and drinkin' alcohol



it was like a game of cowboys - the good against the bad

the others were the good guys - i was german - i was bad



ain't nothing wrong (tell me what's wrong)- to love your home

like anyboy - in the world

yesterday's gone - and we belong

to a new generation - singin' this song (i'm singin' my song)



chorus

i said hey

i wanna be proud of my country

proud of it's people (proud of it's banner)

proud to be free

i said hey

i wanna be proud of my country

proud i was born here

proud of germany



well, i made this trip to vegas - with a friend of mine

some people heard we're german - and they called us &quotnazi swines"



do you think it's fair to blame me - for the things i haven't done

so tell me how long - will this be going on



i wanna know - if you don't know

that you're hurting me and my country

yesterday's gone and we belong

to a new german nation - who has found it's home



chorus

i said hey

i wanna be proud of my country

proud of it's people

proud to be free

i said hey

i wanna be proud of my country

proud i was born here

proud to live in germany



freedom of mind - freedom of speech

freedom to everyone in the world

freedom to live - freedom to teach

freedom of religion - and freedom to each

Bonfire - Ready 4 Reaction
ready 4 reaction



i met you early in the night

you had nothing much to hide

your eyes where burning in to me



oh yes i'm nervous don't you know

girl you make me loose control

my heart is pounding - missing beats



i can't move - with you right beside me

i'm going all the way



you hold the answer in your hand

the ice is melting wheer i stand

the lights go down on me



more and more i feel the heat

girl you knock me off my feet

my head is spinning round and round



just let go - forget the world around us

hold me through the night



chorus

ready 4 the action

oh yes i'm ready for the flight

ready 4 reaction

because i'm running wild tonight



i'm so caught up in desire

got no way to cool the fire

the blood is boiling in my veins



all the secrets that you hide

i'll discover on the ride

i'm getting lost within a dream



one more time - we can feel the f

Bonfire - Southern Winds
dreamin' by the fire

at the gulf of mexico

somebody's playin' a lovesong

with a six string homesick tone



memories of summer

the first time we made love

and a promise left unspoken

i saw in a shooting star



the southern wind was blowin'

as if he wants to say

the words i whispered in my hear

only yesterday



you're my only one - my risin' sun

you're the air i wanna breathe

girl you're everything i need

my shining star - that's what you are

and as long my heart will beat

you'll be everything - everything i need



the fire is still burning

i was humming to the song

couldn't think of all the words

so i made them up my own



like a secret door that opens

these words just set me free

and the promise left unspoken

was the owner of the key



oh southern wind keep blowin'

please carry me back home

there's somebody who is waiting

and i've gotta let her know



you're my only one - my risin' sun

you're the air i wanna breathe

girl you're everything i need

my shining star - that's what you are

and as long my heart will beat

you'll be everything - everything i need



and when southern winds are blowin'

they might even bring some rain

but the promise left unspoken

will always be the same

Bonfire - Strike Back
livin' day by day - your conscience's far beyond of red alert

bad turns into good - and justice is not more than just a word



showtime for the great pretender

selling you his lies

he won't be your soul defender the day - you gonna die



strike back - set your heart on fire

the devil is a liar

strike back - raise a msile in heaven

fighting fire with fire - strike back

strike back



hungry children die - and you go on a diet with champagne

donations cut your tax - but they don't ease the cryin' mother's pain ain't that

insane



welcome mr. satisfaction

welcome mr. greed

he won't give you soul protection

now - you gotta fight - alright

Bonfire - Sweet Home Alabama
sweet home alabama


big wheels keep on turnin'

carry me home to see my kin

singin' songs about the southland

i miss 'ole' 'bamy once again

and i think it's a sin



well i heard mr. young sing about her

well i heard ole neil put her down

well, i hope neil young will remember

a southern man don't need him around anyhow



chorus

sweet home alabama

where the skies are so blue

sweet home alabama

lord, i'm coming home to you



in birmingham they love the gov'nor - boo boo boo

now we all did what we could do

now watergate does not bother me

does your conscience bother you - tell the truth



chorus



now muscle shoals has got the swampers

and they've been known to pick a tune or two - yes they do

lord they get me off so much

they pick me up when i'm feeling blue - now how about you

---

Bonfire - Sweet Obsession
sweet obsession

here we go just another night

with your sultry eyes

the ones that hypnotize



yeah you know it's getting hard to fight

you got me in your sight

i'm gonna fall tonight



you got me running everytime you call my name

i see it comin' - something i can't explain

i feel it's starting again



chorus

such a sweet obsession

can't get enough

i feel the magic everytime that we touch

a sweet obsession

comes over me

take me to the fire - girl

set my heart free



somethings's wrong baby deep inside

is it you or me

i just can't decide



is it love or is it just a game

you got control of me

i can't break the chains



i'm just a prisoner of a heartbeat - loosing it's way

you got me captured- and there's nothing i can do

nothing i can do to escape

chorus

Bonfire - Too Much Hollywood
well i don't miss your scarlet kiss

'cause i put you on my drop dead list

i couldn't stand it no longer

you wrapped your little lies so fine

like in a hitchcock storyline

where the good guy's always stronger



girl i've seen that movie

didn't know you wrote the script



bad girl - you're no good

'cause you're too much hollywood

oh - you're just smoke without a fire

bad girl - this time

i won't waste my valentine

oh - i was hungry with desire



i was badly cast in your love affair

i had the minor role of mr. unaware

the start of shooting was dynamite

but the happy end

got out of sight

and out of copyright



based on the novel of a bad girl

i just take this golden globe for me yeah



bad girl - you're no good

'cause you're too much hollywood

oh - you're just smoke without a fire

bad girl - this time

i won't waste my valentine

oh - i was hungry with desire



all you did and said

is still on screen in my head

but finally my heart decided

i don't watch that movie anymore

like i did before - no

Bonfire - Under Blue Skies
who'll be a beggar and who'll be a queen

who'll be a coward and who a marine



who'll be a poor man and who a millionaire

who'll be a man in despair



under blue skies - we all play the game

but in god's eyes - we are all the same



who'll be a nazi and who'll be a jew

who'll be a white man and who'll die like a sioux



who'll be the president of the us of a

who'll be a sinner or saint - i just say



under blue skies - we all live in chains

but in god's eyes - we remain the same

Bonfire - Until The Last Goodbye
it's so hard

to write another lovesong girl

it's so hard

it's all been said and sung before



could this - be love

are you the one i was dreaming of

words can't describe

what my heart's tryin' to say



until the last good-bye

i'll be by your side

anytime - day and night

until the last good-bye

i'll kiss you good night

until our last good-bye



i would lie

pretending it don't mean that much

i would lie

if i would say i don't need your touch



i feel bad - without you - i can't hide

these moments of truth

i never knew love - before i knew you



until the last good-bye

i'll be by your side

anytime - day and night

until the last good-bye

i'll kiss you good night

until our last good-bye



if it can last for a moment

it can last a thousand years

i'll be your bread and your water

and the one to dry your tears

until our last good-bye



until the last good-bye

i'll be by your side

anytime - day and night

until the last good-bye

i'll kiss you good night

until our last good-bye
