MAD MAN’S RESURRECTION - Worst Case In Stereo Chapter I "Another Rock & Roll-outlaw, using another Rock & Roll-pseudonym like, let's say, N.T.HERO or something stupid like that, has chosen a life apart from what YOU would maybe call Establishment and seems only to lose his inner anger against everything, anytime he is hitting the stage once more..." It’s not a job, more a lifestyle, something you'll never know This takes me somewhere you will never ever go to It's moving me on, it makes me feel alive That's just the way, another day, another show Hey, This won’t work for everybody, it might be even worse for me But there's no choice about my passion, to turn the night into day BACK IN LIFE, BACK IN TOWN, GOT MY FEET BACK ON THE GROUND NOT DEAD AND NOT SOBER, HANG OUT AND HANG OVER AGAIN BACK IN BUSINESS, BACK IN TIME, ALWAYS FIND ME BORDERLINE SO THE PRESSURE GETS LOWER, HANG OUT AND HANG OVER AGAIN A MAD MAN’S RESURRECTION I’m always walking on thin ice, till it feels I break through I seem to be a psycho or the kindest guy you ever knew Well, this ain’t a perfect world and baby so ain’t I And just like all of you I’m getting used to fake and lie That's what they call self-destruction, that's what they call rise and fall But that's what I call satisfaction, that's what I call Rock & Roll BACK IN LIFE…

Break Out 02:47
BREAK OUT - Worst Case In Stereo Chapter II "...feeling crushed by system and society, the lack of lifes' answers doesn't retain N.T.HERO from assembling burning question into his lyrics and notes, shouting out loud what cannot be kept concealed..." Don't let them tell you what to wear, don't let them tell you what to fear Don't let them tell you why you're here, coz' they don't know The dreams they sell never come true, don't be their slave, don't be their fool Don't let them tell you what to do or where to go – hell no! They do not care 'bout you at all, you're just a number, you're just small They won't even recognize your call if you don't stand up If your protest ends with your complaints, nothing will change, it will stay the same You'll slowly go insane but they will never stop, so BREAK OUT, BREAK OUT FROM YOURSELF YOU'VE GOT TO LIVE LOUD, RAISE YOUR FIST AND YELL NEVER LET IT BE, KEEP YOUR HEAD UP TO BE FREE If there's the needed open mind, if you ain't deaf and dumb and blind There are still answers you can find if you don't refuse So use your brain n’ use your voice, do not be quiet, keep that noise Be sure it’s not the wrong path you are going to choose and BREAK OUT…

Canada 04:07
CANADA - Worst Case In Stereo Chapter III "...unfortunately our leading actor realizes too late that he should've been using much more power to icrease the love surrounding him instead against all those demos and the hate inside himself... and then she was gone..." You say it's completely pointless wondering what went wrong I'd like to be so tough and strong Our story ended long ago and has turned to dust But somehow I can't get out of that past There is no question 'bout the one who is to blame Who has been treating bad and cheating in this game I went away but I can't let go While I'm lost in my rain you head for sunny days You keep on living your freedom and you walk your ways And I'm proud of the girl that I used to know SHE'S MOVING TO CANADA, I KNOW SHE WILL MAKE IT FAR I WISH THAT ALL HER HOPES AND DREAMS ARE COMING TRUE SHE'S MOVING TO CANADA, MOVING TO CANADA I HOPE SHE FINDS WHAT SHE IS LOOKING FOR AND MAY HER SKY BE ALWAYS BRIGHT AND BLUE I still pay for every single time I made you cry I still pay for every single lie I killed your will to fight for the love that I threw away Now there's no way back to yesterday It's not just looking back in anger, as I hope Remember crazy scenes, better than our favourite soap I miss your laughing and your smile And somewhen in another time, another place I'd love to see again that smile on your pretty face And feel like back then, for a while SHE’S MOVING TO CANADA… I said: 'I don't want us to be just one short novel more' SHE’S MOVING TO CANADA… ...And I miss you, and I miss you,....there's no life left without you

CRACK THE WHIP - Worst Case In Stereo Chapter IV "...some scars go deeper than others and due to the unspeakable pain, N.T.HERO soon finds himself far off the shores of sanity, slowly drowning into an abyss of despair..." This ain't the usual story, this ain't the usual way None of us expected things would go so wrong There's always someone left behind within the struggling of his mind Not to go insane, now all alone I NEED YOU TO HURT ME, I NEED YOU TO CRACK THE WHIP, SO I FEEL YOU AGAIN I NEED YOU TO HURT ME, I NEED YOU TO CUT ME DEEP, SO I FEEL NO MORE PAIN Still can't fight my desire, I’d run right into fire Either to protect you or to forget you The only reason I still live is because I still believe There's a reason why you give me hell I NEED YOU TO HURT ME…

ROLLERCOASTER - Worst Case In Stereo Chapter V "...he eventually finds out things went much worse, when others - on purpose or not - unnecessarily involved themselves into the story...well, if GET OFF MY GIRL wasn't clear enough, further action seems to be required...that's Rock & Roll, right?" There's a war in the jungle and you're all alone, here comes another tricky stepping stone, watch out Hey, there's no up without a down and what goes around will come around, watch out AND LET IT ROCK & ROLL YA, LIFE'S A ROLLERCOASTER, ENJOY THE RIDE, LIVE WITH PRIDE FIGHT THE FIGHTS YOU HAVE TO FIGHT, IN THE END IT WILL BE RIGHT WHEN ROCK & ROLL'S THE SOUNDTRACK, THEN ROCK & ROLL'S THE GUIDE, RIGHT? Shit is happening everywhere and no one ever said it's fair, watch out But never say you can't take it longer, coz what doesn't kill you is making you stronger, watch out LET IT ROCK & ROLL YA… And Fasten your seatbelts, hold on tight - and don't let go Fasten your seatbelts, hold on tight - here comes the show Fasten your seatbelts, hold on tight - and don't let go Fasten your seatbelts, hold on tight - fasten your seatbelts, hold on tight

LETTERS FROM THE PAST - Worst Case In Stereo Chapter VI "...but even if it's hard to accept the fact that past won't come back at all, there's no reason for someone like N.T.HERO to deny the good times - no matter how long ago they might be..." I recover feelings when I read between those lines They have been written so long, so long ago In such a different period and in such a different time I'll never ever be there once more, but one thing's for sure: I'll keep all those mem'ries 'till I die FEELS LIKE TRAVELLING IN A TIME MACHINE WITH YOUR LETTERS FROM THE PAST STORIES BURIED DEEP INSIDE MY HEART WHAT WE SAID AND WHAT WE FELT, IT'S COMING BACK SO FAST GOING BACKWARDS WITH A TIME MACHINE, I REMEMBER EVERYTHING AGAIN RIGHT FROM THE START - RIGHT FROM THE START Going through the biggest changes Doesn't turn us into somebody else But what made us being as we are n’ as we were It doesn't change the present days If we keep on worrying ‘bout different choices in the past But it's no crime to be dreaming away Back to those days before life split up our ways FEELS LIKE…

Golden Heart 03:34
GOLDEN HEART - Worst Case In Stereo Chapter VII "...some attemps of bringing to life again what's been thought to be dead already, may have failed...but sometimes you just need a little more patience to see a sense in what fate seems to have in mind..." You held me when there was no one else to hold on You were there when I needed someone like you most And I'm glad that we met and I'm sorry the time was wrong But there's something unbreakable that will always last LOVERS THEY COME, BABY, LOVERS THEY GO BUT WHAT WE HAVE IS WORTH MORE THAN TEARS THAT MIGHT FLOW I KNEW HOW LUCKY I'VE BEEN FROM THE START WHEN I FOUND YOUR GOLDEN HEART You can count on me like I can count on you You made me believe and survive And I won't forget all that we had And I won't forget you saved my life - you know: LOVERS THEY COME…

Worst Case 03:07
WORST CASE - Worst Case In Stereo Chapter VIII "...whatever happens, it is important to stay positive, as hard as it might be. In the end, you'll never know where the darkest roads could lead you to, so keep your eyes and mind open for the light..." So you're pretty stuck in the dirt again And it feels like you have been here before It doesn't matter if it's fate or just your fault You better try to find the exit door once more Gettin' outta here – get your ass outta here So you're fucked up and you're underfucked? Fuck it, baby! Nevermind the shadows in your life Just hold on, you gotta be strong to survive – to survive I TELL YA EVEN THE WORST CASE’S MAKING SENSE, IF YOU KEEP ON BELIEVING AND EVERY NEW BEGINNING IS A CHANCE, IF YOU KEEP ON BELIEVING SO HOLD ON...HOLD ON... Flying high and flying low, anyway - be sure where to go Don't give it up, give it one more hot shot, what you don't ask for you don’t know Broken romance and so-called friends, this motherfuckin' story never ends Good and bad come and go and you know, don’t deny – don’t deny I TELL YA EVEN THE WORST CASE’S MAKING SENSE, IF YOU KEEP ON BELIEVING AND EVERY NEW BEGINNING IS A CHANCE, IF YOU KEEP ON BELIEVING SO HOLD ON...HOLD ON... I TELL YA... EVERY SCAR ON YOUR HEART IS MAKING SENSE, IF YOU KEEP ON BELIEVING AND EVERY NEW BEGINNING IS A CHANCE, IF YOU KEEP ON BELIEVING SO HOLD ON...HOLD ON...YEAH!

TO FEEL ALIVE - Worst Case In Stereo Chapter IX "...finally N.T.HERO is able to taste the sun again, after someone special found a way to lead him out of the labyrinth of frustration, depression and pain and stopped the nightmare he thought he'd never awake from again..." Well, it seems you came from nowhere, but you must be heaven sent It's amazing how it touches my heart when you just hold my hand What we went through's showing clearly where we go This is the kind of love I thought I'd never know This is really something priceless, so it's worth to give it all With you every morning's rising is the proof we'll never fall Since you found me there's no question how to choose Since you found me I know we won't ever lose ANGELS NEED NO WINGS TO FLY, TO LIFT YOU UP INTO THEIR SKY ANGELS CAN BECOME SO REAL - WHEN THEY MAKE YOU LEARN AGAIN TO FEEL TO FEEL ALIVE - TO FEEL ALIVE You leave me breathless with your energy that you put into me There’s a future that was hidden, but now you could make me see I can’t imagine how I could handle life before I can’t imagine being without you anymore ANGELS NEED NO WINGS TO FLY…

BONDAGE BLUES - Worst Case In Stereo Chapter X "...well, so much for this episode! Maybe next time we'll find N.T.HERO caught in kinda different sticky situations, from which he rather wouldn't even wanna be released too soon ;-))" Well, I woke up this morning on the wrong side of the bed I wasn’t on the left and I wasn’t on the right side And I thought it’s a bad dream that I have Coz’ I wasn’t laying on my sheets now, I was strapped there on the wall Hanging there upside down, I couldn’t stand and I couldn’t fall and I GOT THE BONDAGE BLUES, THE BONDAGE BLUES NO SHIRT AND NO SHOES, I’M JUST HANGING AROUND, HANGING AROUND SINGING THE BONDAGE BLUES I heard the door opening, but I couldn’t see My tie ‘round my eyes and my belt ‘round my knees I was blind and I couldn’t move, the handcuffs so strong And when she started working I kept on singing my song, I sang the THE BONDAGE BLUES…

Austria Roxx 03:21
AUSTRIA ROXX - Worst Case In Stereo Chapter XI "...N.T.HERO of course should be very thankful to music itself - who knows what would've happened to him without - and also to all the people listening - hope you enjoyed the Worst Case In Stereo!!" There is something wrong with my radio because it sounds like shit There’s rarely a station in this nation that gives me what I need And I'm not the only one who wants some music back on air, That keeps me high above any low And let me add a fact, if you maybe didn't know: The 80's aren't over, baby, before I say so! AND IF THE DJ SUCKS, TELL HIM AUSTRIA ROXX AND IF THE DJ SUCKS, TELL HIM AUSTRIA ROXX A REVOLUTION’S GOING ON, EVERYBODY SING THIS SONG WE WANNA PARTY EVERY DAY AND ALL NIGHT LONG AND IF THE DJ SUCKS, TELL HIM AUSTRIA ROXX …Commercial Break ;o) AND IF THE DJ SUCKS…
