The smell of roses

Water

1994, 4:35 min.
A. Hintjens / A. Cominotto

------------ I've seen poor boys playing guitars
They became famous pop stars
Life, life is like the race in Alice in wonderland
These days bald heads are coming out in the streets
They all gonna disappear in
The blackness of time

All I needed was the smell of roses

You can talk like a pig
If you got the the power and be rich
There is a price for everyone
Thanks God if He exists or not
There's a cold wind blowing back on to my neck
And I bend to it's power

In the black gloom before my eyes
I was looking at the road of life
All I needed was the smell of roses
All I needed was the smell of roses

I don't love nobody but me
But I'm still in the mud
Ip to my knees
I don't need nobody but me
But I'm still in the mud
Up to my knees

In the black gloom before my eyes
I was looking at the road of life
All I needed was the smell of roses
All I needed was the smell of roses

In the black gloom before my eyes
I was looking at the road of life
All I needed was the smell of roses
All I needed was the smell of roses
