Wake Up 04:00
Wake Up I’m running in the cold night I can see the streetlight The blue screens in the houses The kids and the spouses They think they’re cool With their piece of grass and pool This will drive me to distraction Now’s the time to ask the big question Wake up ! Wake up ! Wake up ! We know what’s coming up Time to act before We drink the cup Wake up ! Wake up ! Wake up ! We know what’s coming up Before we drink the cup I’m running in the cold night Away from the safelight The very sight of this neighborhood Brings me back to my childhood Money makes them feel they’re safe It’s the only thing they can face Hostages from the green bill They’d be ready to kill Wake up ! Wake up ! Wake up ! We know what’s coming up Time to act before We drink the cup Wake up ! Wake up ! Wake up ! We know what’s coming up Before we drink the cup I’m running in the cold night Not a soul in sight Big wheels shinny black cars Sheltered from the crowbars The gates are made of steel They know the danger is real Things can go wrong The temptation is too strong Wake up ! Wake up ! Wake up ! We know what’s coming up Time to act before We drink the cup Wake up ! Wake up ! Wake up ! We know what’s coming up Before we drink the cup Wake up ! Wake up ! We know what’s coming up Don't drink the cup © Dressmusic Switzerland 2011

Expectations 03:36
Expectations Why don’t you show me? Something that I can see ? I look for magic, look for magic Wrap me, wrap me in a flower in plastic Shake those habits Come, come on to me Bring me higher expectations It’s all about faith Give me some affection Show me round your place Show no remorse Do the right thing I need some magic, need some magic Take me, take me to your tower, I’m lovesick Lonesome spirit Don’t you disagree Bring me higher expectations It’s all about faith Give me some affection Show me round your place Show no remorse Do the right thing I need some magic, need some magic Take me, take me to your tower, I’m lovesick Bring me higher expectations It’s all about faith Give me some affection Show me round your place © Dressmusic Switzerland 2011

Family Tree 04:01
Family Tree Lost in my memories Too many stories Told me I was blind I don’t know what I’ll find But the never ending rage Blocked away In a cage We should learn from mistakes That’s what it takes There’s so much at stake We’ve got to break free Shake the family tree It’s hard to turn the page We’ve got to break free Shake the family tree For the new generations Don’t take it for granted Open up the doors I won’t hide anymore Anymore The future could be bright But you gotta keep it right Like a chain reaction We’ve got to break free Shake the family tree It’s hard to turn the page We’ve got to break free Shake the family tree It’s hard to turn the page We’ve got to break free Shake the family tree For the new generations © Dressmusic Switzerland 2011

Different Without You I’m standing in a crossroad I need to put down my load What’s good or bad when you should be glad To have me I’m know I’m alive Haven’t got time I know I’m alive I’m different without you Nobody’s around me Nobody’s against me But the tiredness that I feel The tiredness that I feel is real I’m know I’m alive Haven’t got time I know I’m alive I’m different without you A light in my conscious Something most precious Makes me walk on the wild side A light in my conscious Something most precious Makes me walk on the wild side I’m know I’m alive Haven’t got time I know I’m alive I’m different without you You wake up one morning And your inner voice rings Like a whisper in my ear Like a whisper in your ear Won’t go away, won’t go away I’m know I’m alive Haven’t got time I know I’m alive I’m different without you © Dressmusic Switzerland 2011

Too Much 04:10
Too Much Each day I try to understand What this situation means I didn’t think of any plan Any tricks from any teens Is this love I’m feeling for you? ‘Kind of love that’s too much for you I can hear everything from you But I can’t survive to this kind of blue It’s like an empty space This passion burns my brain And you always say And you always say I’m too much Each day, I try to stop the row But the situation lasts I definitely wish for you And I another sky Is this love I’m feeling for you? ‘Kind of love that’s too much for you I definitely bet on this life with you Dear, I can’t help my feelings I only need to think of a scheme Believe that wasn’t just a dream However you must conceive That love is the only key And you always say And you always say I’m too much And you always say And you always say © Dressmusic Switzerland 2011

Gotta Go 03:14
Gotta Go Gotta go Move ahead Gotta be In my bed Watch the stars In the dark Need a sign Need a spark It’s time, it’s right, it’s fine... Sunshine ! My time, my life is right… Sunshine ! I can breathe Without you More at ease And feeling new I’m not afraid Anymore The price I’ve paid Left me sore It’s time, it’s right, it’s fine... Sunshine ! My time, my life is right… Sunshine ! I needed some extra time Just a little more time I needed some extra time To put you out of my mind Out of my mind © Dressmusic Switzerland 2011

Walk Away In The Sun Spread your love through all races Discover new faces Abuse of your smile as a lover Before this game is over Walk away in the sun Walk away in the sun Walk away in the sun Walk away in the sun We shouldn’t break into a run Set the wheels into motion You’ve got to believe in making love Push the doors to evolve It won’t take forever Before we break down the power Walk away in the sun Walk away in the sun Walk away in the sun Walk away in the sun © Dressmusic Switzerland 2011

Bling Bling 03:32
Bling Bling It smells like rotten flesh, burning tyres You’re feeling well and so fresh But your aim has backfired I’ve never seen that before What are you waiting for? Bling bling in your head Turn around turn around Dressed in red Turn around turn around Last call is coming But you stay with your desire There’s no hell, no heaven, There’s only fire Heaven is in human being Not in something addicting Bling bling in your head Turn around turn around Dressed in red Turn around turn around You’ll have to survive Fuck this generic life Be confident, beware You are your best enemy I call your name Show you the game Always the same, the same… no answer Bling bling in your head Turn around turn around Dressed in red Turn around turn around © Dressmusic Switzerland 2011

Circle 05:54
Circle A baby’s crying I open my eyes Clouds over a leaden sky It feels like I didn’t sleep Drag myself to the world of living And I feel down, so down Looking for the sparkle That’ll trigger my day TV’s on pouring its usual crap A new day begins It’s a circle I can’t get away from it A vicious circle Round and round my head A faint glow tries to break into that greyness It’s hard to believe when you’re surrounded by emptiness What’s left to do that has not been done? I’ve fought a battle that I could never have won I promised you everlasting love A gift that came from above Now I look back and I’m confused I shouldn’t have lost track with you A baby’s crying, life goes on and on It’s a circle I can’t get away from it A vicious circle Round and round my head © Dressmusic Switzerland 2011

For All I Never Had I won’t wait for you today I’ll let you wake up Sleep your night away You took me way down Put me into reverse I’ll let you wake up Find another girl, I know Leaving for the world Craving for the world For all I never had Never again I swear I don’t know why you never did try I was a failure without you Way to much afraid to let you pass How could I ever dream again, I don’t know Took me seven years to understand Leaving for the world Craving for the world For all I never had Never again I swear Tell me why you never did try Leaving for the world Craving for the world For all I never had Never again I swear I don’t know why you never did try Leaving for the world Craving for the world For all I never had © Dressmusic Switzerland 2011

Benediction 03:34
Benediction All my questions gather round All the answers can’t be found What’s led us to this place and time What’s gotten in this heart of mine And if there’s no tomorrow All we have is here and now Never mind the stars up in the sky Never mind the when, the where, the why Can you hear what’s in my eyes Can you feel what I don’t say Can you see what’s in my heart Will you promise me you’ll stay How can a softly given touch Speak loudly in a fevered rush What is the message I should take Your eyes they seem afraid to make Some say that pain’s the only way To find a happiness that stays But I believe in lasting love A benediction, from above Can you hear what’s in my eyes Can you feel what I don’t say Can you see what’s in my heart Will you promise me you’ll stay © Dressmusic Switzerland 2011

A World To Live In We talk the same words So far away from your views When I come to think of you My heart’s in real protest Why should you make a difference? Human race has no colour And you’re free to spread toxin out in the ghettos I need a world to live in What’s wrong with your mind, doctor Life has a right that you can’t take away What’s wrong with your mind You get paid to carry on that shame They almost ran you down But Justice couldn’t hold you Is it true you can go back To work at this madness Someday you’ll meet your fate Your crimes against humanity Won’t be put aside, They will come and catch you I need a world to live in What’s wrong with your mind, doctor Life has a right that you can’t take away What’s wrong with your mind, doctor You get paid to carry on that shame I need a world to live in We need a world to live in What’s wrong with your mind, doctor Life has a right that you can’t take away What’s wrong with your mind, doctor You get paid to carry on that shame © Dressmusic Switzerland 2011

In 2007, Dress delivers a remarked debut album, "Misunderstanding".
"Transparency" is their new eclectic album where the voice is the common thread that takes you to the very personal sound of DRESS.
