Laura Kapp, Alex Rainer, Philip Soanes (Germany, U.S.A., Ireland) - Home 02:44

Home I was thinking about the other day We went walking as strangers who turned the other way The man with an empty cup called out for spare change I tossed him a few coins and quickly turned away Home Find a way to feel accepted in I was thinking about how we turn away We open up borders and retreat from them again We linger in the same rooms until the light goes out The doors are closed shut Streets are long and cold You were talking about about how free we are Our parents never knew the pictures there to see I saw in your eyes that a match was lit up When you said the words of the sources of your stay Who gave you life to live and a place to live it in

Don't Ask Smingus (Krakow, Poland) - Going Home 05:00

It's been a long haul we've had, so rest in and breathe a while, the best is still to come But leave it a the door she said, don't you bring into here she prayed, Leave in that hole you made, The best is still to come Am i ever coming home? not as you knew me Am i ever going home? not as you had me It's been a long lonely while, won't you rest in and raise that smile, the best is still to come But leave it a the door she said, don't you bring into here she prayed, Leave in that hole you made, The best is still to come Am i ever coming home? not as you knew me Am i ever going home? not as you had me Give it up give it up to me..... You in fine colours, you in the right, give it up to me You're giving me cold shivers, man on the street won't you give me some peace oh Give it up......

Fräulein Niemand (Germany) - Again and Again 03:30
lyrics
buy track
We’re in a bar and it’s late and dark and way too loud I can’t go home I have to see him with her right in front of me You look over and you’re anxious ‘cause you know what’s going on You always do and you can sense that now I need you to be strong And then I cry and you take it like a man No awkward silence no shaking going on You just open your arms and let me in And for that you are my friend Again and again It was the day that she died and you took me out my skin We went drinking and dancing and God knows what other sin I don’t know how you do it celebrate a stranger’s life But somehow you made me smile on this darkest of all nights And then I’m screaming on the platform going wild You come running hold me close oh so tight I don’t know how I got home that night I guess for that you are my friend Again and again Now we’re walking up the hill and you have us all in stitches I don’t know what beer does to you but I wish I had that, too Your Irish accent’s getting thicker and is hard to understand All I know is that I wouldn’t wanna be here with anyone else And I don’t like goodbyes but the best was yours You just looked at me and said those three words Suddenly I hear myself say the same And for that you are my friend And for that I’ll be your friend Again and again
