LYRICS:
I WILL NOT LOSE
words & music: Cassis Birgit Staudt

Dear future
Can you promise me an imperfect picture
A blurry world without a frame
Where you all treat the same
Don't lose this note
And assure there's no more hell but hope

I will not Lose
They will not Win

Dear dreams
You can carry me through darkness it seems
Keep the bubbles in the air
And assure all is fair
Don't let them pop
With your help I reach each mountaintop

I will not Lose
They will not Win


I Will Not Lose (Long Version)

By b-blush: Cassis Birgit Staudt, David Cossin and Christian Bongers
www.cassisb.com

She dares to feel lust
Enjoys showing her breasts
She's into every body part
And by the way she's smart
Loves changing the color of her hair
Sometimes she shaves her head 
Bear

Call Her - Ready to be Wild and Free
Call Her - Wanting to be her company
Call Her - 664 9081
Call Her - Make your dreams come true
Call Her - Her downstairs neighbor has a crush on her
She is so exciting
Stop staring holes into the sky
And join her as she passes by
Better, better, better
Call Her…
Make love till you're free
Make your bed on a tiled floor
Kiss her in a swing on a porch outdoors
Make your dreams come true

Call Her

HOLD LOVE - IN VAIN

YOU
VIBRATE 
IN YOUR OWN CLOUD
SO 
DO I
THAT’S WHY
WE MEET
AFTER SUNDOWN
DROWNING IN KISSES

HOLD LOVE - IN VAIN

I FELL INTO YOUR BLACK HOLE
WITH NO STRINGS ATTACHED
AS WE CARESSED OUR SOULS
DID YOU LET ME GO?
PLEASE DON’T LET ME GO
HOLD LOVE - IN VAIN

HIMALAYA
© words & music Cassis Birgit Staudt

TOO MANY WINTERS GONE BY
WITH HIM NOT AROUND
THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT
THREE STRIKES HE’S OUT
THIS MATCH IS OVER

WHEN HE WAS HITTING HIS HOME RUN
SHE NO LONGER  WAS HIS FAN
MUCH TOO LATE INTO THE SEASON

THIS IS AS LONELY AS IT GETS
WITHOUT A DOUBT
THE SUN IS DOWN
ON HAPPY TOWN
AND THERE’S NO HONEY IN THE MOON

HEY, SUMMER COME STOP BY
HELP HER MELT HIS SNOW AWAY
SEND HER SPRING 
TO BRING SOME EASE

SINCE HE STRIPPED HER TO BARE BRANCHES
SHE IS READY FOR NEW LEAVES
SHE IS DECLARING BANKRUPTCY
TO SET THEM FREE
SO THEY CAN BOTH CLIMB AGAIN
THE HIMALAYA

THIS IS AS LONELY AS IT GETS
WITHOUT A DOUBT
THE SUN IS DOWN
ON HAPPY TOWN
AND THERE’S NO HONEY IN THE MOON

ANALOG LOVE
© words and music: Cassis B. Staudt
							
SHE WANTS TO LAY HER HEAD		
ON HIS SHOULDER				
HE’S LIVING IN LOVES WINTER		
SHE’S HUGGING ALL HIS ARTIFACTS	
OLD GIFTS WITH FADED XOX

ANALOG LOVE IS NOT PERFECT		
1 OR 2 SCRATCHES MAKE IT REAL		
LIVING FROM DAY TO DAY TO DAY	
TO DAY IS THE DEAL				

SHE WANTS HER TO FORGIVE
DISTANT BEHAVIOUR
AND BE HIS SILENT SAVIOR
SHE LONGS TO HEAR HIS HEARTBEAT
AND DOESN’T WANT HIS TRICK OR TREAT

ANALOG LOVE IS NOT PERFECT
1 OR 2 SCRATCHES MAKE IT REAL
LIVING FROM DAY TO DAY TO DAY TO DAY
IS THE DEAL

CRAVING FORMER CHEMISTRY
MISSING LOST SINCERETY
THEY WANNA BE HEROES
ONCE MORE

UNTIL DEATH HAS THEM PART
IS A LONG TIME
WITH PASSION IN DECLINE
HE WALLPAPERS HER UNIVERSE
WITH HEARTSHAPED TEARS FULL OF REMORSE

ANALOG LOVE IS NOT PERFECT
1 OR 2 SCRATCHES MAKE IT REAL
LIVING FROM DAY TO DAY TO DAY TO DAY
IS THE DEAL

ANS MEER
words & music: Cassis Birgit Staudt

Kneif mich ich traeum ich sitz im Sonderzug aus Leipzig
Die Welt hat heut kein Ende mehr
Ich mache frei mal so

Und das Gras ist gruener
Der Himmel blauer
Ich fahr ans Meer
Die Sonne gelber
Die Wolken weisser
Ich liebe es sehr

Keiner haelt mich heut auf
Ich laechle mich durch Grenzen
Dass es nie wieder so dunkel wird
Kann ich hell sehen

Und das Gras ist gruener
Der Himmel blauer
Ich fahr ans Meer
Die Sonne gelber
Die Wolken weisser
Ich liebe es sehr

Ans Meer by Cassis Birgit Staudt

OVER THE MOON
words & music: Cassis Birgit Staudt

HELLO, YOU FOOL
I THINK YOU’RE PRETTY COOL
YOU DRESS WITH STYLE
TOO BLACK MAYBE ONCE IN AWHILE
YOU MOVE WITH ATTITUDE
YOUR HANDS FEEL SMOOTHE
YOU BANG  IN MY LIFE
YOUR WIFE MUST FEEL THE DRIVE

I’M OVER THE MOON
AND OVER THE TOP
AND BLOWN AWAY BY YOU
I STILL CAN’T TALK
AND I’M IN SHOCK 
THAT I COULD SPEAK WITH YOU
THAT I COULD EAT WITH YOU
THAT I COULD TALK TO YOU
AND I COULD KISS YOU
THAT I COULD WALK WITH YOU
AND I COULD FEEL YOU
I COULD TOUCH YOU
I COULD WATCH YOU
AND I COULD BE WITH YOU

YOU’RE KIND
IN MIND
A FRIEND IS HARD TO FIND
YOU WISH ME WELL
I FEEL I’M UNDER YOUR SPELL
I FEAR YOUR LIPS
CAN BARELY WATCH YOUR HIPS
I’D LIKE TO BE HOLD
YOU SAID YOUR LIFE IS COLD

I’M OVER THE MOON…

ALTHOUGH
I KNOW
YOU HAVE YOUR OWN WAY TO GO
YOU CRY 
YOU WHINE
YOUR RHYTHM IS NOT MINE
NO OFFENCE I LAUGH
I HAVE TO WATCH MY PATH
I’D LIKE TO BE INVOLVED
WITH SOMEONE MORE RESOLVED

BUT, I’M……

I Run From You by Cassis + A HAWK IN THE RAIN

From the Album 'Two' by A Hawk in the Rain

A HOLE IN YOUR SOUL
words & music A HAWK IN THE RAIN

I'm good until I'm bad
Sad cause I had a blow too strong to bear
I'm wind until I'm storm
Harm cause I have a fist that's ready to tear

A hole in your soul doesn't make you holy
A hole in your soul doesn't justify
A hole in the soul of another body
A hole in your soul is no trophy

Sweet until I roar
I'm soar from my past that seems to ever last
I am what I think alone
Prone to burn in my always open flame

A hole in your soul doesn't make you holy
A hole in your soul doesn't justify
A hole in the soul of another body
A hole in your soul is no trophy

As we are so civil people
Hardly ever wild
Licking open wounds
Is not just ok for a child
Life turns upside down
And we blame everyone around
Let me broom in front of my own door
And get unwound

A hole in your soul doesn't make you holy
A hole in your soul doesn't justify
A hole in the soul of another body
A hole in your soul is no trophy

A Hole In Your Soul by Cassis Birgit Staudt and A Hawk In The Rain

COUNTING CLOUDS
words & music: A HAWK IN THE RAIN

Forcing my head over water
vanish into wind blown sea
tears in the ocean taste really salty
my thirst is almighty

counting clouds

Lines blur
heaven hangs wet
greys make me blue
I can’t continue
breathing rain
craving to float
mountains of sky
Are my real coat
Sinking inside
bottomless fear 
Disappear

still counting clouds

GIRLTIME
words & music: Cassis Birgit Staudt

girltime - lips and hips
girltime - funny talks and homemade tricks 
girltime - laughter and sighs 
girltime - loud and silent cries
it's time for the girls

kids gone to school
men left the house to rule
women in transit - sexy cool
they leave their island
to mingle with the world 
at dawn and sunset
she alert!

girltime - lips and hips 
girltime -funny talks and homemade tricks
girltime - laughter and sighs
girltime - loud and silent cries
Gonna get some girltime

eyeshadow on a rainy eye
to cover up the blue
of a night cried through
sore from dancing
on family turf
they have the power
more than enough 

girltime - lips and hips
girltime - funny talks and homemade tricks 
girltime - laughter and sighs
girltime - loud and silent cries

girltime - hurry up don't be late this boat won't wait
girltime - girls walk through the door not wives anymore
girltime - be a part of the clique like a ferry tales chic
girtlime - sit in position and make the transition
girltime - big girls cry our tears are just dry
girltime - tough or real cool whatever you rule
girltime - celebrate vibe with the woman inside
girltime - the bathroom whispers with sexy sisters

girltime - lips and hips
girltime - funny talks and homemade tricks 
girltime - laughter and sighs
girltime - loud and silent cries
it's girltime!


Girltime with Vikki True by Cassis Birgit Staudt

I'll Sue You by Cassis Birgit Staudt from the album ANALOG LOVE
featuring Chris Spedding

I'LL SUE YOU

I'll Sue You
You just broke my heart
You're so goddamn smart
Practice in Prison
Your trash talk

Said you’d be my man and my lover
And my friend and my brother
My bee keeper and soulmate undercover 
My lifelong pilot and motorcycle helmet 
My captain underwater and above

I’ll sue you
You just broke my heart 
You're so goddamn smart
Practice in prison
Your trash talk

Now I’m soulsick
Crestfallen in love again
Like the crushed dead dove that carried letters to a place 
Where noone’s ever home

I’ll sue you
You just broke my heart 
You're so goddamn smart
Practice in prison
Your trash talk

Just cause I love red
The fireman came to my bed 
Much too much into lips
Rather lower than upper
Ships and you make me seasick 
Ships and you make me seasick

I’ll sue you
You just broke my heart 
You're so goddamn smart
Practice in prison
Your trash talk

(miss you movin’ me....)



I'll Sue You by Cassis Birgit Staudt

RIVER

I LOVE YOU, RIVER
SUN PROVIDE ME STRENGTH
YOU WERE SO GENTLE
KNEW WE HAD NO TIME TO LOSE
HEY, RIVER, I HAVE A LOVER BACK EAST
RIVER, YOU LET ME WALK OVER WATER, RIVER
YOU LET ME WALK OVER WATER, RIVER
LOVE BLESSES YOU

I SEE THE SUN ON HER PATH EVERYDAY
AND THE MOON FOLLOWS HER
I SEE HER SHINE AND GIVE SHADOWS
MY MOOD SWINGS WITH YOU
SHARE WITH ME SOME STRENGTH IN THE FLUX
OR HELP ME CRY WITH YOUR TEARS AS RAIN
OR HELP ME CRY WITH YOUR TEARS AS RAIN
PLEASE HELP ME CRY

I COULD HAVE DROWNED, EASILY
YOU WERE A CHALLENGE 
LET ME FACE SOME HIDDEN ROCKS
HEY, RIVER, HOW MANY FISH HAVE YOU CAUGHT
RIVER, YOU CHASE WITH HAUNTING SOUNDS, RIVER
YOU CHASE WITH HAUNTING SOUNDS, RIVER
LOVE BLESSES YOU

I SEE THE SUN ON HER PATH EVERYDAY
AND THE MOON FOLLOWS HER
I SEE HER SHINE AND GIVE SHADOWS
MY MOOD SWINGS WITH YOU
SHARE WITH ME SOME STRENGTH IN THE FLUX
OR HELP ME CRY WITH YOUR TEARS AS RAIN
OR HELP ME CRY WITH YOUR TEARS AS RAIN
PLEASE HELP ME CRY

KISS ME, I'M SUCH A MESS
Words & music: Cassis Birgit Staudt

Wouldn't You like it
If I liked you a lot
And if you didn't have to guess
Could I be candid 
Should I plot 
I cannot tease you
I confess
What if I give you my address
Would you think of me less
Kiss Me, I'm such A Mess

Why are you playing
So hard to get
I bet at night you're less uptight
Maybe you pretend to be
celibate as you 
know this fuels my appetite
when in doubt should I undress
then you'll hesitate less
Kiss me I'm such a Mess

Mercy, Mercy I am tipsy
My head a circus
Act as a foetus
What can I tell you
You crashed my Karma

Lose your umbrella
I'm the rain splash, splash
Only nerds stay dry
Why wait till we're 80 to emesh 
'cause I am real and not a layaway
Please be soon my sweet success
Or else I'll die from this stress
Kiss me, I'm such a Mess

Kiss Me I'm Such A Mess by Cassis Birgit Staudt

SHELTERING SKY
words & music: Cassis Birgit Staudt

IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY
HEAVEN  WENT ASTRAY
ALL THE SUDDEN
STORMY CLOUDS

IN THE DISTANCE ON DISPLAY
BLUE SPACE FAR AWAY
OUT OF REACH

SHELTERING SKY
OPEN THE BLINDS OF ONE HEART
SHELTERING SKY
PLEASE TRY!

WHEN YOUR EYES SHINE THROUGH MY NIGHT
CRUSHING IN LIKE WAVES OF AN OCEAN
I’M ALIVE

WANNA DANCE WITH GIANT LIGHT
RED HEAVEN PURPLE NIGHT
DAWN TILL DUSK

SHELTERING SKY
OPEN THE BLINDS OF ONE HEART
SHELTERING SKY
PLEASE TRY!

SHELTERING SKY
OPEN THE BLINDS OF ONE HEART
SHELTERING SKY
PLEASE TRY!

Coeur En Verre
words & music: Cassis Birgit Staudt

S'en fout la mort
Nous celebrons
parce que toujours
la vie vaut mieux que le bahut
et nous aimons
jouer le feu
c'est normalement
le meilleur lieu
nous rêvons jour
et toutes les nuits
et oublions
le bruit
d'aujourd'hui
