«In Love»
it's a shame
bitches
the left turn
weak ends, shattered days
rain comes falling down
blue mail box
walk, don't walk
it gets me down (etter)
fatal threestep
as the wind blows (krohn/etter)
total recall
the most important part (fischer)

- WEAK
ENDS, SHATTERED DAYS
-
- metal cries, bites shreds out
of the night
- craterlike, a chainsaw burns
the sky
- it tears your living room to
pieces
- paints your carpet
black
-
- temptation grows to
ecstasy
- inside your head strange
faces stare
- as ice cubes melt to glowing
butter
- persian rugs begin to
sway
-
- sweet colours
render
- power shoots into your
fist
- your arms turn into
wings
- up, up you fall, fall and
fall
-
- and nothing will be, now
is never, no one ever was
- no, nothing will be, now
is never, no one ever was
-
- your soul hangs on to
saturdays
- to sundays and to better
days
- but all you get are shattered
days
- that make you pay for
yesterday's
- unnecessary, unawary,
temporary, sucking fairy
- surrealistic
rhyming
- but go ahead and
ball!
-
- and nothing will be, now
is never, no one ever was
- no, nothing will be,
now is never, no one ever was
-
- (change to nice
mood)
-
- late sunday
morning
- sunny slices on the
floor
- old jazz floats in the
air
- what made your evenings
sad
- gives peace to you the next
day
-
- soft smoke and golden
copper
- guiding lights or
candles
- smiling chalk your
ceiling
- heavy solitude on velvet
cushions
- swaying to and
fro
- (change to mean
mood)
-
- metal cries, bites shreds out
of the night
- craterlike, a chainsaw burns
the sky
- it tears your living room to
pieces
- paints your carpet
black
-
- and nothing will be, now
is never, no one ever was
- no, nothing will be,
now is never, no one ever was
-
-
- WALK, DON'T
WALK
-
- yes or
no?
- high or
low?
- you don't
know
- stay or
go
-
- day or
night?
- grey or
white?
- wrong or
right
- it's
alright
-
- they teach you to
stand
- for what you want and what
you don't
- they tell you to fight
- and they hate it if you
won't
- if you can't make up your
mind
- then you won't go
far
- so work out your
answers
- be a guiding
star
-
- but if you walk out of
that door
- just dare to walk out of
that door
- there's no way back in
anymore
- no, no
more
-
- but if you
stay
- if you
stay
- it's to the end of
day
-
- outside there is
frenzy
- there is fog and there's no
frame
- inside there is
fashion
- there is fortune, there is
fame
- so stay where you belong
- and pretend, that you
care
- slave away your time
- to buy a first class
fare
-
- don't try to walk out of
that door
- for if you walk out of that
door
- there's no way back in
anymore
- no, no
more
-

-
- TOTAL
RECALL
-
- looking down from seventh
floor
- on cars and buses floating
to
- the rhythm of the slowly
rocking
- colour-changing traffic
lights
- your mind blows bubbling
soapy words
- that glimmer glistening in
your brain
-
- recalling faces, words and
music
- you wait for calls or signs
to change
- your life, that lost
it´s taste and slipped
- some years ago out of your
hand
- pushed by strange blues you
choose
- to think it over, where the
sun sets late
-
- (refrain:)
- don't you ask yourself,
boy
- how hard you'd hit the
floor?
- don't you wish you could
fall
- into another
world?
-
- if newfound loneliness just
makes
- you shiver, hide inside and
still
- you cannot see the light of
dawn
- by staring back into the
night
- the cemitery's cubic death
- lies less then half a mile
away
-

-
- THE MOST
IMPORTANT PART OF MY DREAM
-
- I had a dream last
night
- you came walking across that
bridge
- your hair was a flag in the
wind
- and I knew, that I would love
you
- but then something made me
wake up
-
- (refrain:)
- I always miss the most
important
- part of my
dream
- and no matter how I
concentrate
- I can't dream my dreams
until the end
-
- I had a dream last
night
- you were sitting there with
some guys
- your eyes gave me a strange
look
- then you asked for a
kiss
- and I think I said
yes
- but then something made me
wake up
-
- (refrain)
-
- I had a dream last
night
- we were walking side by
side
- I took all my
courage
- put my arms 'round
you
- but when I told you, that I
love you
- yes, then something made me
wake up
-
- (refrain)
-

-
- THE LEFT
TURN
-
- I was standing at the
window
- as an airmailman flew
by
- I hit him with my
fist
- and leaned out far to watch
him die
-
- he fell onto a trampoline
- jumped back into the air
- as I tried to knock him down
again
- myself fell off the
chair
-
- the moral of this
story
- is the same as in the
next
- where I spied the fairest
Adam
- and was suddenly hot for
sex
-
- he was strutting down the
lane
- as I was whistling at his
walk
- when he turned into a
pig
- and said: "hey, babe..."
- but I said: "fuck
you!"
-
- the worst is yet to
come:
- when I was just a little
gal
- my teacher called me
sissy
- till I cried out: "what the
hell!"
-
- so I stole my daddy's
rifle
- doing what had to be
done
- when I aimed at the
professor
- I forgot to load my
gun
-
- (refrain:)
- nothing turns out
right
- I never get just what I
want
- I was born a born beginner
- I'll die a
debutante
- nothing turns out
right
- nothing turns out
right
- nothing, nothing turns out
right
-
- when they lower me into the
ground
- I know it must be
so
- I'll wake up at their
laughter's sound
- with no place left to
go
-
- my grave will be a
Mecca
- for the losers and the
clowns
- they'll pay 5 quid to see my
bones
- but I won't get a
pound
-
- well, people, you can laugh
at me
- and spit into my
face
- the bible says a camel
- is the winner of the
race
-
- (refrain)
-

-
- RAIN COMES
FALLING DOWN
-
- every day the sky was
blue
- birds were singing, so were
you
- only lately, things have
changed
- heaven's clouded, you act
strange
-
- you are chilly, you are
cool
- there is ice inside your
pool
- how the hell can I break
through
- when even starfish get the
flu
-
- (refrain:)
- and where the sun was
shining
- rain comes falling
down
-
- when I look at you, I
know
- that your heart is full of
snow
- you will soon leave me
behind
- to change the weather in your
mind
-
- (refrain)
-

-
- IT´S A
SHAME
-
- I loved you in the song
before
- now you don´t love me
anymore
- the thrill is
gone
- the dishes
done
- I´m off to new
horizons
-
- what could it
be
- when will it
end
- where does it
start
- when is it
spent
- am I to
blame
- we're not the
same
- which way to treasure
island
-
- (refrain:)
- he´s a monkey,
I´m a dog
- he´s a donkey,
I´m a hog
- he used to be my lover
boy
- my precious
toy
- my only
joy
- now when he sees me on the
streets
- he runs and I am
hiding
-
- baby, what a way to
go
- a way to
show
- we just don´t
know
- what happens in our
hearts
- when love is
striking
-
- don´t you miss
me
- don´t you
cry
- the way you
kissed
- and made me
sigh
- I´m feeling
low
- you´re running
high
- a single tear from
you
- would see me
smiling
-
- (refrain)
-

-
- IT
GETS ME DOWN
-
- I don't know how to say
good-bye
- I even don't know how to
catch a fly
- and more and more it turns
into
- a bad
dissatisfaction
- oh, it gets me
down
- it gets me down &endash; onto
the ground
- it gets me
down
-
- I'm not able to drive a
car
- I'm not able to open a
jar
- and I screw up everything
- I'm touching with may
hands
- oh, it gets me
down
- it gets me down &endash; onto
the ground
- it gets me
down
-
- well, I don't have the
courage to die
- I've never read 'The Catcher
in the Rye'
- and every single word I say
- sounds like it means
nothing
- oh, it gets me
down
- it gets me down &endash; onto
the ground
- it gets me
down
-

-
- FATAL
THREESTEP
-
- just another
story
- just another
song
- just another
sample
- of things gone
wrong
-
- Johnny was a
mailman
- Mary was his
pie
- Johnny said:
- "we stay
together
- till we
die"
-
- kids and a
dog
- and a house and two
cars
- dreams of the
future
- they reach for the
stars
-
- just another
story
- just another
song
- just another
sample
- of things gone
wrong
-
- Johnny was a
mailman
- Mary was his
maid
- one day, Johnny found her
- with his best
friend
- in a
bed
-
- oh my, why did they
do
- what they have
done
- Johnny got
angry
- and pulled out his
gun
-
- (refrain:)
- when love is in the
air
- and sunshine in her
hair
- then watch out and
beware
- with whom the bed you
share
- for if you don't play
fair
- soon in a gun you
stare
- there's corpses
everywhere
- bisexual, queer or
square
- beggar or
millionaire
- ugly, plain or
fair
-
- why is love so
painful
- when it goes
astray
- why can't lovers be more
careful
- whom they
lay?
-
- everything is
rotten
- when it comes to
lust
- girls get hot 'n men get
shot
- nobody can be
trust
-
- Johnny 's a jailbird
now
- Mary is
sad
- no children no
fam'ly
- and poor Bill is
dead
-
- (refrain)
-

-
- BLUE MAIL
BOX
-
- Dear
Antonia
- I´m stuck in a camper,
forty miles outside Italy
- just out of reach of a decent
cup of coffee
-
- heaven´s revenge is
pouring down on us
- there´s no chance to
drive on tonight
- and only distant lovers on
tv
-
- I´ve just finished
working at the airport
- unloading planes at
night
- I´m really worn out now,
and like the weather
- I feel rather wet and cold
and sort of lonely
-
- I got your letter, but I
still wonder how you´re doing
- as for me, I moved back to
the outskirts
- I'm sharing a flat down in
the Jewish quarter
- it´s
alright
- though not exactly cheap for
what you get
-
- these people, they are into
esoterics
- they´re reading all kind
of semi-religious books
- and lay cards to get a grip
on their future
-
- my brother, he passed his
exam, so I heard
- he´ll start studying the
law, for all it´s worth
- my sister´s working in
some bar
- she seems to make good
money
-
- I´m trying to get calmer
now
- maybe quit drinking, maybe
smoking, maybe both
-
- I want to meet new
people
- ´cause I´m tired of
acquaintances
- that like to be called
friends
-
- say, if I should ever get to
Mexico
- is there a chance for me to
find a job?
-
- ah, well, those are nothing
but dreams
- but I really want to see the
world
- those rocks are squaring me
up
-
- maybe the States, Brazil or
Argentina
- though I might not even make
it to Italy
-
- my friend here has an offer
- to buy a ranch in
Massachusetts
- and he might actually
leave
- that´s when he´s
paid back his debts, he says
-
- I´m only hoping for the
rain to stop
- and more than that, to see
you soon
- where in the world is Puerto
Cruz?
-
- lots of love to you in a
letter
- and a hundred thousand kisses
by mail
- they will arrive before I
do
- a long, long time before I
ever will
-

-
- BITCHES
-
- we get up, when you're
yawning
- go to sleep at
dawn
- roam the city, haunt your
dreams
- have parties on your
lawn
- if you try to catch a glimpse
- of our wicked
souls
- before you reach the
window
- we have slipped into our
holes
-
- we ride the sky on
laser
- we wear laces on our
thighs
- we lick your private
aces
- whip your dog until it
cries
- get stoned on
gasoline
- get high on petrol set on
fire
- if you aim your guns at
us
- my friend, we just get
higher
-
- (refrain:)
- we are
bitches
- catch us if you dare
- we got
itches
- confetti in our
hair
-
- your terrace is an
airport
- your futon is a plane
- we take off from your
kitchen
- and we land on penny
lane
- what are jewels, what are
rings
- what's your riches or your
minks
- how low are presidents and
kings
- we got
wings!
-
- (refrain)
-
- join us in the fiesta,
sister
- throw away your
past
- tell your lover: "listen,
mister,
- you ain't gonna
last"
- turn up the gas, turn down
his pleas
- ask him for a
light
- strike his match, count down
to one
- get ready for the
flight
-
- (refrain)
-

-
- AS THE
WIND BLOWS
-
- you see the leaves fall from
the trees as the wind blows
- you hear it howling like a
child outside your window
- and you cover your naked
friend with a sheet and you stay close
-
- he dreams of victims bowing
their heads as the wind blows
- falling angels in the air,
only god knows - why
- and your lover is crying in
his sleep as the blood flows
-
- lying side by side, in a
deep, troubling way
- you feel that you're
worlds apart
- and you pray, yes you pray
for something to soothe his
heart
-
- you see the leaves fall from
the trees as the wind blows
- your mouth is howling like a
child as his pain grows
- and you wish relief would
come tonight - only god knows
