Nature Boy
There was a boy
There was a boy
enchanted boy
Over land and sea
A little shy
and sad of eye
But very wise
was he
And then one day,
A magic day he passed my way
And while we spoke of many things
Fools and kings,
This he said to me
"The greatest thing
you'll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return.“
There was a boy
a very strange enchanted boy
they say he wondert very far, very far
Over land and sea
A little shy
and sad of eye
But very wise
was he
And then one day,
A magic day he passed my way
And while we spoke of many things ,
Fools and kings,
This he said to me,
"The greatest thing
you'll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return.“

"Gotta Move"
Gotta move, gotta get out
Gotta leave this place, gotta find some place
Some other place, some brand new place
Some place where each face that I see
Won't be staring back at me
Telling me what to be and how to be it
Some place where I can just be me
Gotta move, got to get out
Gotta leave this town, gotta find some town
Some big new town, some bright new town
Some new town with new places, new lights
And most of all some new faces
Gotta find a man, a new man
A man who won't worry 'bout where I go
A man who wont ask how I learned what I know
A man who will know that I've gotta be free
A man who will know when to just let me be
Gotta move, gotta get out
Gotta change my life, gotta find my life
I'll find me a place in some new town and baby
And when I find me that new place, then maybe I
Gotta leave this town, gotta leave this place
Gotta find a new man...Gotta move!

Sitting On The Dock Of The Bay
Sittin' in the morning sun
I'll be sittin' when the evening comes
watching the ships roll in
then I watch them roll away again
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
watching the tide roll away, ooh
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
wasting time
I left my home in Georgia
headed for the Frisco Bay
cause I had nothing to live for
looks like nothing's gonna come my way
So, I'm just gonna sit on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Ooo, I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
Looks like nothing's gonna change
Everything still remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
so I guess I remain the same, listen
Sittin' here resting my bones
and this loneliness won't leave
It's two thousand miles I roamed
Just to make this dock my home
Now, I'm just gonna sit at the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Oooo-wee, sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

Perfect Day
Just a perfect day
Drink Sangria in the park
And then later
When it gets dark, we go home
Just a perfect day
Feed animals in the zoo
Then later
A movie, too, and then home
Oh, it's such a perfect day
I'm glad I spent it with you
Oh, such a perfect day
You just keep me hanging on
You just keep me hanging on
Just a perfect day
Problems all left alone
Weekenders on our own
It's such fun
Just a perfect day
You made me forget myself
I thought I was
Someone else, someone good
Oh, it's such a perfect day
I'm glad I spent it with you
Oh, such a perfect day
You just keep me hanging on
You just keep me hanging on
You just keep me hanging on
You're going to reap just what you sow
You're going to reap just what you sow
You're going to reap just what you sow
You're going to reap just what you sow

Breakable
face the fact
that's all we get
but don't let you go
it's all controlled
you will see
you and me
all in life seems so breakable
things been done
nothing's happend
all in all -we do the right
noone ever will find out and
if we'll once fall -won't fall alone
see,
why I resist you -and you
get all closer every day
i've missed these feelings
for so long, but I'm not yet free
face the fact
that's all we get
by now we know
it's under control
you will see
you and me
all in life seems so breakable
nothing's wrong
of what has happend
on and on -won't loose it all
noone ever will find out and
if we'll once fall -won't fall alone
see,
why I resist you -and you
get all closer every day
i've missed these feelings
for so long, but I'm not yet free

Strictly Mint Limburg, Germany
STRICTLY MINT
Their album debut WABI SABI is an artifice as much as a cool
trick!
Cover albums? There are many. But Strictly Mint are bridging the slight gap that covers can leave behind. When their original "Our Love" starts the album with high pop art, when it seems like a well-known song to us, literally screaming "sample me"...
