BORN IN THE CITY
(Words & Music: Juanito Heldmann)
So you wanna know
What I feel deep inside
Than please be sure
That you don't wanna hide
What you're gonna see
Is deeper than the deepest blue sea
What you gotta take
Is dangerous loke a rattlesnake
Born in the city
In the poor part of town
You wanna be pretty
But they keep on pressin' you down
Born in the city
In the poor part of town
You wanna be pretty
But they keep on pressin' you down
I'm gonna tell you a story
Bout a little boy that reached for the stars
Went as far as he could
'Till he was stopped by the power of mars
The sense of a weapon came to him through a fist
His tonge tasted blood before he was ever kissed
Born in the city .......
So don't you wonder
If I'm a bit rough right now
I'm longin' for love
But I have to get through somehow
I've done quite a lotta livin'
I've done quite a lotta givin'
Think I've seen enough
To call myself tough
Born in the city .......

SHE'S GONE
(lyrics & music: Juanito Heldmann)
Sunbeams are slowly creepin'
Through the curtains of my window
they come to find me weepin'
Like a lost and lonely shadow
I woke up like ev'ry mornin'
With the same old borin' yawnin'
Wanna put my arms around you
But baby , baby where are you?
You're gone gone gone gone gone down the road
You're gone gone gone gone gone down the road
You're gone gone gone gone gone down the road
You're gone gone gone gone gone down the road
So I go out to get me some booze
'Cause I've got nothin', really nothin' left to loose
And I hold on to that old white line
That tells me I'm gonna make you feel so fine
I'm gonna help you to forget
I'm gonna help you to get through that
And I take it 'till my eyes get wet
'Till I realize that there's no way to forget, that
You're gone ........
So I'm wanderin' down the sidewalk
Stop and listen to some streettalk
Say: "I've got no good news today you know what?
My baby she went away
She couldn't stand my way of livin'
She was always only givin'
She couldn't stand me smokin' talkin' takin' pills
Always greedy lookin' for some special kind of thrills and now
She's gone .......

DOWN AND OUT
(lyrics & music: Juanito Heldmann)
Well you've been down and out brother - just like me
You've been alone in the biggest crowd brother - just like me
You played for a nickle - or just for a smile
And all of your friends - they just stay for a while
But we go on turnin' - like a turnin'wheel
We keep on movin' - movin' on
Yes we go on turnin' - like a turnin'wheel
We keep on movin' - movin' on
But we go on turnin' - like a turnin'wheel
We keep on movin' - movin' on
Yes we go on turnin' - like a turnin'wheel
We keep on movin' - movin' on
You've been out in the rain and snow brother - just like me
You played the fool and you did the show brother - just like me
Then you went way back low brother - just like me
But we go and we go and we go and we go
And we go and we go and we go and we go
We go on turnin' - like a turnin'wheel
We keep on movin' - movin' on
Yes we go on turnin' - like a turnin'wheel
We keep on movin' - movin' on
But we go on turnin' - like a turnin'wheel
We keep on movin' - movin' on
Yes we go on turnin' - like a turnin'wheel
We keep on movin' - movin' on

OH, HOW I WISH
(lyrics & music: Juanito Heldmann)
Well you got to know me - when I was really down
You got to know me when I was - feelin' blue
Yes you got to know me baby - when I was really down
You got to know me when I was - feelin' blue
Longin' for you
Oh, how I wish - you could see my soul
Oh, how I wish - you could be with me
Oh, how I wish - you could understand the pain
Oh, how I wish - you could set me free
Oh, how I wish - you could see my soul
Oh, how I wish - you could be with me
Oh, how I wish - you could understand the pain
Oh, how I wish - you could set me free
Set me free!
Well you came near me - the very first time
You came near me when I had - a broken heart
Yes you came near me baby - the very first time
You came near me when I had - a broken heart
Tearin' me apart
Oh, how I wish - you could see my soul
Oh, how I wish - .......
As we lay together - my head keeps thinkin'
'Cause I'm afraid - to loose another one
So we lay together and - my head keeps thinkin' - thinkin'
'Cause I'm afraid - To loose another one
Just like the other one
Oh, how I wish - you could see my soul
Oh, how I wish - .......

WE WANT YOU TO FLY
(lyrics & music: Juanito Heldmann)
I was sittin' in the kitchen when the bell was a ringin'
I opened the door - my mind was a swingin'
There was a man with a gun in his hand
He said boy you gotta understand
That we want you to fly
Yes we want you to stay high
Yes we want you to fly
Yes we want you to stay high
So we sat down in my kitchen and I offered him a smoke
He said: "Boy we've been watchin you that's no joke
You better pack your things and grab your guitar
It's really not that far
Where we want you to fly
Yes we want you to stay high
Yes we want you to fly
Yes we want you to stay high"
I thought my god he's crazy, he's gonna drive me insane
But then we went to the airport and into the plane
The plane took off - up to the sky
A girl served a drink and a voice said high, said:
"We want you to fly
Yes we want you to stay high
Yes we want you to fly
Yes we want you to stay high
Now I'm flyin' high over seven weeks - no land is insight
I'm sayin to myself and to the captain: "What's goin' on with that flight?"
I say: "Que pasa, muchacho, what's goin' on and where do we go?
He says: "Tranquilo, hombre, ev'rythings alright, you only got to know
That we want you to fly
Yes we want you to stay high
Yes we want you to fly
Yes we want you to stay high"
So we fly through the cosmos passin' planets and stars
And leave back mother earth
We stop at sister venus and she asks me to stay
and I say "Wow, that was it worth" She says:
"We we want you to fly
Yes we want you to stay high
Yes we want you to fly
Yes we want you to stay high"
Well the girls up here there so nice –
They're really comin' near
They smile at me and they grab my hands
And they wisper in my ear:
"We want you to fly
Yes we want you to stay high
Yes we want you to fly
Yes we want you to stay high"

I GO AND PLAY THE CLOWN
(lyrics & music: Juanito Heldmann)
Mornin' light is comin' slow
Time for me to go
So now I'm on my way
Ain't got no time to stay
Sometimes I feel blue
When I think of you
Sometimes I'm still down
So I go and play the clown
Don't wanna see no one
'Cause I'm gonna see the sun
I'm goin' down to Mexico
Where I can feel the southwind blow
Sometimes I feel blue
When I think of you
Sometimes I'm still down
So I go and play the clown
I'm rollin' down the road
I carry my own load
I'm movin' down the highway
I'm goin' my own way
Sometimes I feel blue
When I think of you
Sometimes I'm still down
So I go and play the clown
Rollin' down the road
Movin' down the highway
Rollin' down the road
Movin' down the highway
Rollin' down the road
Movin' down .......................

I’VE BEEN TRAVELLIN’
(words & music: Juanito Heldmann)
I’ve been travellin’ such a long time
Travellin’ such a long long time
But I never lost my way
That leads me always back to you
I’ve been searchin’ such a long time
Searchin’ such a long long time
But I never lost my way
That leads me always back to you
Give me a guitar made of gold and fame
I’d still be singin’ and praisin’ your name
Give me the treasures of a kindom or two
I wouldn’t change it for one minute with you
I’ve been wanderin’ such a long time
Wanderin’such a long long time
But I never lost my way
That leads me always back to you
I’ve been seekin’ such a long time
Seekin’ such a long long time
But I never lost my way
That leads me always back to you
Give me a guitar made of gold and fame
I’d still be singin’ and praisin’ your name
Give me the treasures of a kindom or two
I wouldn’t change it for one minute with you

THE NIGHT IS CALLIN'
(lyrics & music: Juanito Heldmann)
The night is fallin'
Full moon is risin' slow
Savage is callin'
Go and let your feelin's flow
The night is callin'
A star is fallin'
The night is callin'
A star is fallin'
Down on you
Don't think of fear
If somethin' gets in touch with you
Try to be clear
It's just another part of you you
The night is callin'
A star is fallin'
The night is callin'
A star is fallin'
Down on you
The night is callin' .......

ON THE ROAD
(lyrics & music: Juanito Heldmann)
Seven years I've been livin' like in prison
But I'm goin' back, I'm goin' back to the road
Seven years I've been livin' in the city
But I'm goin' back, I'm goin' back to the road
I'm gonna put my boots and my hat on
I'm goin' back, I'm goin' back to the road
I'm gonna grap my guitar and my suitcase
I'm goin' back, I'm goin' back to the road
On the road On the road yeah
On the road On the road yeah
We are singin' On the road
We are dancin' On the road yeah
We are movin' On the road
We are livin' On the road yeah
See the starlight On the road
See it shine bright On the road yeah
Then seven years I've been livin' like in heaven
But I'm goin' back, I'm goin' back to the road
Seven years I've been livin' on an island
But I'm goin' back, I'm goin' back to the road
I'm gonna put my boots and my hat on
I'm goin' back, I'm goin' back to the road
I'm gonna grap my guitar and my suitcase
I'm goin' back, I'm goin' back to the road
On the road On the road yeah

We are movin' On the road
