SOUL
Album: Soul
Written by Sarah Huber and Andreas Canzani
Let’s turn off the radio
and dig some good old soul
Let’s head down to the record store
and let us go with the flow
Lay with me in Marvin’s Rhymes
Sway with me behind the times
Let’s put the soul back into the music
Put the soul back into the sound
When Ray plays “What’d I Say”
I know it blows your mind
It thrills me, it pleases me
He’s a soul man, one of a kind
Lay with me in Wilson’s screams
Sway with me behind the scenes
Come on guys, let's
Put the soul back into the music
Put the soul back in the sound
Come on guys, are you with me, ah
Gimme that Vinyl treat and I feel ya
Rhyhtm in my blood, how I need ya
Thanks for the inspiration, Aretha
Put the soul back into the music
Put the soul back in the sound

My Shoes
Album: Soul
Written by Sarah Huber and Andreas Canzani
These are my Shoes to break in
You can’t take this away from me
My Shoes to break in
I walk my way in my own time
My Shoes to break in
You can’t take this away from me
You live your life
and I live mine
I asked a pilgrim to walk for me
It didn’t save my soul
Maybe souls are meant to be
saved on our own
Mama told me not to play with fire
My fingers still got burned
Maybe lessons we’ve been told
ain’t no lessons learned
If you break in my boots
They’ll never be on straight
So baby, let me live my life
the way I think it’s right
Chorus
So many people never did
Listen to your good advice
Maybe it’s not possible
To protect someone from life
Daddy told me to be careful
Not to fall for the wrong man
Maybe we all need to fall
To learn how to get up again
You won’t recover
if I take on your cure
And if you’re gonna live my life
who’s gonna live yours?
Chorus

Love Manual
Album: Soul
Written by Sarah Huber and Andreas Canzani
How many times love got me in trouble
How many times love brought me down
How many times love didn’t bother
When I was blue, but I know now
Love is easy
if you know the Love Manual
and it goes like this
Don’t love someone who loves somebody else
Nononono, nonono
Don’t love someone who loves somebody else
Nononono, nonono
And love will hurt you less
How many times Love gave you fever
And no doctor knows, oh, remedy
How many times Love made you feel it
A broken heart is a misery
Love is no risk
Just follow the Love Manual
and it goes like this
Don’t love someone who loves somebody else
Nononono, nonono
Don’t love someone who loves somebody else
Nononono, nonono
And love will hurt you less

In CHINA
Album: Soul
Written by Sarah Huber and Andreas Canzani
Silver streets and diamond rain in China
Somehow have stolen the heart of my lover
The scents of the Orient, the passion you feel again, temptingly
The glamour of Shanghai, the glance of mystic eyes took you away from me
Does the sun there seem to be brighter?
Are you gonna come home or will you stay in China?
And do I cross your mind
when you’re strolling along the Bond?
And do you hear me crying
standing on the shore?
Over there
over there in China
Dragon boats and cherry lips in China
somehow have cast a spell on my lover
The longer you hesitate the harder it’s to wait, where are you going to?
Reading your letter makes it no better, ain’t closer to you
Does the sun there seem to be brighter?
Are you gonna come home or will you stay in China?
And do I cross your mind
when you’re strolling along the Bond?
And do you hear me crying
standing on the shore?
Over there
over there in China
I can feel it
I’m losing what I used to have
You’re disappearing
I can’t hold you back
And do I cross your mind
when you’re strolling along the Bond?
And do you hear me crying
standing on the shore?
Over there
over there in China

Burn Your Boats
Album: Soul
Written by Sarah Huber and Andreas Canzani
You’ve sailed the seas
Fleeing from the pain you feel
restlessly
Mountains moved
to bury all the grief inside
losing roots
Bound to the bow, on the run for so long
now it’s time to come home
So baby burn your boats
Take in sail, it’s time to land, come on
Burn your boats
Love deserves a second chance
Burn your boats
Commit them to the flames
So burn down your boats
Yeah, I see
How far you’d go to understand
your story
Oh, I know
You’re desperately tryin’
to let go
Don’t try so hard
There is no way
to run from who you really are
Chorus
You’ve sailed to the end of the world
to find your place on earth
but you could sail to the moon, even beyond
the opposite of wrong is still wrong
Chorus

Hand me the Sun
Album: Soul
Written by Sarah Huber and Andreas Canzani
I see you waiting in the streets
You are soaked with rain
I kiss you right where it hurts
I kiss away the pain
I’ve let you fall to keep you strong
but I was always there
So baby, dry your tears, don’t be afraid
Don’t be scared
Hand me the sun to lighten the day
No need to run when you can fly away
Hand me the moon to sweeten the night
No need to find me when I am by your side
In this world that seems so cold
I will keep you warm
I’m gonna give you room to grow
A shelter from the storm
We can talk until the sun goes down
and we forget our fears
Baby, in your pain you’re not alone
I am here
Hand me the sun to lighten the day
No need to run when you can fly away
Hand me the moon to sweeten the night
No need to find me when I am by your side
Hand me the time so that I can slow it down
No need to search for what you’ve already found
Hand me the river to learn from its flow
to throw everything in it and let it go

Blame Yourself
Album: Soul
Written by Sarah Huber and Andreas Canzani
You keep tellin me that your life is unfair
Whenever you need help, nobody’s there
You say you wanna change yourself but you just don’t dare
You treat your own life as a backstreet affair
You claim it’s no wonder you never do well
Your daddy and your mommy have sent you through hell
They put you under a curse and ruined your way
They turned you in what you are, there’s no escape
I’m so, so tired of listening to the stories of your misery
I’m so, so sick of your gloomy philosophy
Cuz you never, you never do well
And you never, you never blame yourself
You’re looking for a job for more than two years
But everything is more urgent than your career
You say it’s just because people don’t like your face
And that your home town is such a bad place
I’m so, so tired of listening to the stories of your misery
I’m so, so sick of your gloomy philosophy
Cuz you never, you never do well
And you never, you never blame yourself
When will you see your own responsability
And when will you realize that your unhappiness is the price you pay
Cuz you never, you never do well
And you never, you never blame yourself

Give The People What They Want
Album: Soul
Written by Kenneth Gamble & Leon Huff
Got to give the people
Give the people what they want
Wel, I have been all over the world
And everybody feels the same
It's a unanimous decision
I said they're ready for a change, yeah, yeah, yeah
Got to give the people, give it up
Give the people what they want?
Well, it's about time for things to get better
We want the truth, the truth and no more lies
We want freedom, justice and equality
I want it for you and I want it for me
Got to give the people
Give the people what they want
Give the people what, give the people what
Give the people what
Give 'em what they want
People want better education now
People want better food to eat
People want here better homing
People need money, money
People need equality
People need understanding
People need freedom
And gotta, gotta, gotta
Give the people what, give the people what
Give the people what
Give 'em what they want
Got to give the people, now
Give the people what they want

Don’t Let The WorlD Pull You Down
Written by Sarah Huber and Andreas Canzani
Don't let the world
take away your smile
Don't let the clouds
darken your sunshine
and don't let the world pull you down
Don't let the sun
blind your eyes
Don't let your man
temper your delight
and don't let the world pull you down
Some people have bad days
when they cross your way
take it easy
make them smile
Some people let you down
don't know anything else but frown
leave 'em behind
for a while
Don't let the time
chase you around
Don't let your mind
restrain your sound
and don't let the world pull you down
Don't let your pain
ever take control
Don't let your friends
change your soul
and don't let the world pull you down
