Love 'Em To Death (free) 04:22
She caught the eye of the guy in the bar And you can bet he won’t get far He looks back at her with a lustful glance He’s got a feeling that he’s seen her before In his dreams squirming on the floor He feels lucky but she’s got other plans She’s got a new game, she’s ready to play And he won’t live to see another day Chorus She’s so pretty, she’s so wise Long legs and bedroom eyes Every man’s gonna lose his breath She’s gonna love ’em, she’s gonna love ’em to death She’s got the looks of the girl next door But all she wants is more, more, more She shows no remorse and no regrets Her first husband got a knife through the eye She served the second one a poison pie She left the third and fourth with a slug in their heads Her knees tremble when she sees them drop Her love’s fatal and she’ll never stop Chorus rep. SOLO They never hide, they don’t even run And she does them in one by one So be aware ’cause this is true The next one may be me or you Chorus rep. Lyrics & music by René Mikkelsen (24 June 2005)

This Heart (free) 04:30
I have been the lonely one for what seems like a lifetime Counting every star on the clouded sky I have seen them all go by and I’ve seen them fade away All dreams are born - all dreams must die But if it doesn’t run you over It only makes you strong Chorus This heart don’t break that easy These tears don’t fall too hard I can go on forever I’ll never fall apart Everything looks darker as my walls keep closing in Even sunlight seems to turn to black Misery is my best friend and he’s with me ’till the end Trying his best to keep me on his track You can hit me with a thousand bullets But I won’t back down Chorus rep. SOLO Chorus rep. x2 Lyrics by René Mikkelsen (28 February 2005) Music by René Mikkelsen/Claus Greve/Allan G.Pedersen (February/March 2005)

Rock On! (free) 04:30
Everybody wants to be in a rock'n'roll band Room service and a party at the wave of your hand Could it really be a dream come true? Will it ever happen to you? Well, you just gotta do what you do Chorus I don't know how and I don't know why Rock and roll will never die I don't know where and I don't know when We're all gonna be hard rockin' again Rock on! Everybody wants to ride that gravy train All around the world and back again You say you wanna take off and let it fly Either getting laid or getting high You gotta keep rockin' 'till you die Chorus rep. Rock on! Rock on! Rock on! You wanna stay here Don't wanna leave here You're gonna die here Forever rocking on... SOLO Chorus rep. Rock on! Rock on! Rock on! SOLO Lyrics & music by René Mikkelsen (2002 + 2004)

You see him on the TV screen Looking so sincere He claims to be on your side And there’s nothing more to fear “We’re gonna strike those bastards down We’re gonna make ‘em pay” But if the gain is worth it He’s got a different game to play It ain’t that hard to understand When the chips are down and the shit hits the fan Blame it on the little big man Blame it on the little big man He’s cool, calm, collected And his smile is always right Heartfelt sympathy On the night the nation cried But is he just an old cowboy Driving cattle on the range? War starts with a “W” And that’s never gonna change He wants the world at his command But you don’t want it in his hands Blame it on the little big man Blame it on the little big man SOLO Like Custer fell face first in the sand It all will fail at his last stand Blame it on the little big man Blame it on the little big man Blame it on the little big man Blame it on the little big man SOLO Lyrics & music by René Mikkelsen (17 January 2006)

Lonely (free) 04:38
Stay with me – don’t leave me lonely In trenches so deep for weeks without sleep I’m hanging my hopes on a sweet dream Will letters I write still get through the night And safely arrive at your door Face down in the mud and my brothers’ blood Makes hell seem like pure salvation Believing the end is just ‘round the bend I just can’t take it no more In cold desperation These are the words I send your way Chorus Stay with me – don’t leave me lonely Wait for me – ‘cause I want you only The squad leader calls as rain starts to fall And infernal thunder surrounds us Just over the hill, we’re in for the kill And God knows what waits us up there But everything dies when I close my eyes This world of disaster stops breathing ‘Cause inside my mind you’re all that I find I hope and I pray you’re still there And though my hand’s shaking I scribble another line for you Chorus rep. SOLO A new day is dawning And I feel the light upon my face The sweet smell of morning Takes me away from this cold place Chorus rep. x2 Lyrics & music by René Mikkelsen (26 October 2006)

Back Together (free) 04:58
Don’t wanna think of the future Just wanna live in the past That is my way of life, however long it may last Don’t really wanna be happy Don’t really wanna be sad But in my dreams I’m wide awake Back in your arms someway Brave enough to seize the day Chorus Back together Fighting the world against the odds Caring not for the years we lost Back together Back together Shouting to those who thought it wrong Ready to sing a brand new song We’re back together I’ve got my reasons for thinking The thoughts that run through my head Whatever’s making me live is gonna kill me instead Faith has been pulling me fast ones Been laughing right in my face It’s given me the whole of the world Just to take it all away Still I know we’re gonna stay Chorus rep. SOLO Don’t wanna live forever Don’t wanna drown in my tears I know that I can’t have it all But I try and try each day And I know we’ll find a way Chorus rep. SOLO Lyrics & music by René Mikkelsen (4 November 2006)

Waiting For Tomorrow (free) 07:39
I've spent so many hours In the twilight of a dream Watching all the lives go by Hopeless as it seems I've never thought of leaving There's no escape for me I'll just lie here crying That's where I'm meant to be And as the rain keeps on falling The voices inside my head keep calling Chorus I'm waiting for tomorrow Drowning in the pain and sorrow Yes, I'm waiting for tomorrow To see what's waiting for me And set my tortured spirit free The days go by so slowly They hardly seem to pass Years feel like ages Lost in the hour glass Sometimes when I close my eyes It all looks so easy to me Why can't I live that life Right before me to see And though the sun goes on shining The lights that guide my way are blinding Chorus SOLO And the world keeps on turning The fire in my heart keeps burning Chorus rep. x2 Lyrics & music by René Mikkelsen (26 March 2003)

Hungry Boy (free) 04:41
Well, I've been a thousand places Walked a thousand miles I've seen a thousand faces And a thousand smiles But I ain't seen nothing 'till I saw you No, I ain't seen nothing What's a hungry boy to do I been looking for some action In every part of town I need some satisfaction Come on, let's fool around 'Cause I ain't seen nothing 'till I saw you No, I ain't seen nothing What's a hungry boy to do SOLO Now, you may say I'm lazy Like a beggar on the street But I'll be going crazy If I don't get some meat And I ain't seen nothing 'till I saw you No, I ain't seen nothing What's a hungry boy to do SOLO Lyrics by René Mikkelsen (1 May 2004) Music by Claus Greve/René Mikkelsen (ca. April 2004)

Lullaby (free) 04:50
Sometimes I wish the nights were longer And my dreams wouldn't go away Some nights they even make me stronger They soothe my soul and ease my pain It ain't no surprise When I close my eyes Chorus Make me smile, make me cry Be my lullaby Hold my hand all through the night In my prayer, you are there Sleeping by my side You and I - my lullaby Dark nights always were my shelter Daylight wouldn't find me there I'm safe far away from this prison Comfortably alive in my nightmare Do you hear my cries When you close your eyes Chorus rep. SOLO It ain't no surprise When I close my eyes Chorus rep. Lyrics & music by René Mikkelsen (23 March 2005)

Too Late (free) 04:49
Out of reach, that’s what you are to me Out of time, life played a trick on me Only love can make the strongest cry And without you I know I’d surely die Standing in the doorway I remember it so well The day you walked away And turned my life into this hell Chorus But it’s too late – my time is through I’ve had my chance of loving you And though I’ve tried I can’t see why ‘Cause it’s too late – we’ve said goodbye I once thought that love would come my way And make me smile if only for just one day You were the one to make my sky turn blue But no one said I’d be getting over you Nothing is forever Everything’s just for a while I’ve had my share of heaven Now I only have your smile Chorus rep. SOLO If I was granted just one wish I know what it would be To have you by my side again Right here next to me Right here next to me Chorus rep. x2 Lyrics & music by René Mikkelsen (23 March 2002)
