Fortune Teller [radio mix] 03:15
lyrics
FORTUNE TELLER look at you now in such a rush but one big step behind you need a clue now all blinded by the gypsy of your mind if you give me your hand I’ll do what I can to get you calm by making up the meaning of the lines in your palm look at you now uptight and in denial for a while you look like shit now it’s the tears of things and halb so schlimm come on – show me that smile and give me your hand I’ll do what I can to get you calm by making up the meaning of the lines in your palm

The Boys Of Summer [Don Henley cover, live] 04:08
lyrics
THE BOYS OF SUMMER nobody on the road nobody on the beach I feel it in the air the summer’s out of reach empty lake, empty streets the sun goes down alone I'm driving by your house though I know that you’re not home but I can see you your brown skin shining in the sun your got your hair combed back and your sunglasses on, baby I can tell you my love for you will still be strong after the boy of summer have gone I never will forget those nights I wonder if it was a dream remember how you made me crazy remember how I made you scream now I don’t understand what happened to our love but babe I’m gonna get you back I’m gonna show you what I’m made of but I can see you your brown skin shining in the sun I see you walking real slow and you’re smiling at everyone I can tell you my love for you will still be strong after the boys of summer have gone out on the road today I saw a dead head sticker on a Cadillac a little voice inside my head said: don't look back you can never look back I thought I knew what love was what did I know those days are gone forever I should just let them go but but I can see you you got that top rolled down and that radio on I can tell you my love for you will still be strong after the boys of summer have gone I can see you your brown skin shining in the sun you got your hair slicked back and those Wayfarers on, baby and I can tell you my love for you will still be strong after the boys of summer have gone [written by Mike Campbell/Don Henley]

Sirens [live & semi-acoustic] 03:37
lyrics
SIRENS damn, this is bad - this is so bad I get out of the crash thinking no one survived big eyes from the backseat to my surprise I see all three alive you're losing blood in the grass there on the side of the road in your striped summer dress the boy runs off to see you I pick him up but he must've seen some of your legs I swear dear, you'll be alright now don't you go out on me here I swear I hear sirens come close that means help is near the autobahn is reflecting rotting fruit in at least 30 something degrees nothing but chaos all these questions, ignorance FUCK THE POLICE! I swear dear, you'll be alright now don't you go out on me here I swear I hear sirens come close that means help is near now you listen to me I will bring you back home will you listen to me I will bring you back home home back from the car-dump I sit down with the boy on the edge of the bed in a hotel room near Munich remembering what I said

Swim With Sam [live & semi-acoustic] 04:24
lyrics
SWIM WITH SAM Sam here says he lost his call on the day Cousteau had died the ocean was a tub of sharks with Jacques-Yves as a guide Sam here says the water’s safe that man should not have left the seas called the Human Bathyscaphe he’s King of Expertise so if someone wants to know and asks you where I am you say you saw me go for a swim with Sam Sam here says they call him ‘nice’ and that it makes him really sick that his ‘nice’ is like ‘polite’ and silence does the trick Sam here says he’d like to go somewhere far away from here to a sea that no one knows to completely disappear so if someone wants to know and asks you where I am you say you saw me go for a swim with Sam don’t try to talk me out of this not while I’m here in Carla’s seat ‘the sea has many drops of water but the salt won’t let you taste the sweet’ go, go!
