LYRICS

In Zeiten von Vinyl-Schallplatten war es ein Genuss, sich mit dem Plattencover aufs Sofa zu setzen, die Musik zu genießen, in den großen Seiten zu blättern und die Texte mit zu lesen. Wem danach ist, kann das sogar jetzt hier und darf das auch beim Konzert mit dem Handy tun. Mitsingen ist dann auch ausdrücklich erlaubt! 😉

You Don’t care ABout Time

Butterfly‘s in the air and he doesn‘t care
if there‘s any bird around
His wings they shine in the sun
and he‘s having some fun
as he makes his way down the brook

Hey little butterfly
You make me feel so easy and high
Hey little butterfly
You don‘t care about time

Bumblebee’s on the way
She always knows how to stray
over the grass and the Dandelions
She‘s dropping into a bloom
Sipping the nectar and soon
She will be back up in the air

Hey little bumblebee,
You make me feel so easy and free
Hey little bumblebee,
You don‘t care about time

And look a fat green frog
Is drowsing down on the log
Looking out for a dinner now
He‘s the king of the pool
He likes to be very cool
Croakin’ out every now and then

Hey little slippery frog
I hear your sound through the evenings fog
Hey little slippery frog
You don’t care about time

Looking for a Woman

My highway was too short – for a long legged girl
My poems were too dull –
for a real clever girl
My flowers were too dry –
for a sweet scented girl
My brain was too crazy –
for a dreamy girl

So I messed it up
for long long time
All these ups and downs, never turned out fine
and I really messed it up

My beard was too pricky –
for a soft warm kiss
My hands were too clumsy –
for a soft touch and all of this
My knees were to week –
for standing all that bashing
My heart was too wounded – with all that slashing

So I messed it up
for long long time
All these ups and downs
never tured out fine
and I really messed it up

Ooohooohoo
looking for a woman
sometimes is
an odyssey of blues
looking for a woman
tryin not
to be too much abused
searching for the right one
trying not to loose
the fight for love (oho)
looking for a woman

I‘m through with searching – and happy as can be
Cause my sweetheart
came along
and she was the one who captured‚ me
I cancelled all my prospects
so she could aset me free …

Ooohooohoo
looking for a woman
sometimes is
an odyssey of blues
looking for a woman
tryin not to
be too much abused
searching for the right one
trying not to loose
the fight for love (oho)
looking for a woman

Nevermind

There‘s nothing going forward
without somebody‘s help.
You can‘t exist,
when you are lonely
Just keep in mind,
to stay in contact
with your mates
belove your friends and
they will love you

Can you sing a tune
That takes you to the moon?
Share your world, your heart
Never mind the seasons
Never mind the loss
Never mind the criticism
Never mind no no no no

There‘s nothing
that can touch you,
you won‘t be open for
You can‘t exist,
only complaining
To keep it in your mind and
and keep it in your heart
May be enough
to only save you

Can you sing a tune
That takes you to the moon?
Share your world, your heart
Never mind the seasons
never mind the loss
Never mind the criticism
Never mind no no no no

News for you

So you’re telling me people are treating you bad
’n’ you don’t find the right way to keep on
And you’re coming up
cause you’re feeling so bad,
it’s all too much
and you don’t feel so strong

Let all these things just pass through your head
let it go, let it go
Well I don’t mind anyone acting so mad
it’s a show just a show

Stop it now,
You’re not to blame
Stop it now,
It’s just a game

Look into my eyes, love
It’s not such a surprise
Can’t you feel it rise love
There‘s not really much to do
I got news for you
We will pass this through

Every day is filled up with
a whole lot of messages
running all over the world
Every second the multi channelling
communication is making it worse
You’ve got only one brain
among trillions of people,
so what can you expect to explain?

If you start missing your wellness and calmness
and love, it is time to restrain

Stop it now,
You’re not to blame
Stop it now,
It’s just a game

Look into my eyes, love
It’s not such a surprise
Can’t you feel it rise, love
There‘s not really much to do
I got news for you
We will pass this through

For all the fools

Life is giving a shit about what you might believe in,
And from time to time to time it can almost be killing

Sometimes you’re facing thunder and hurricanes even when you think, you might just have to be chilling’

Your suddenly knocked out every once in a while
Even when you‘re thinking you are going just right ahead
So tell me what you really can expect from life,
If you just don‘t find out how to deliever you‘re own thing instead?

Movin on – passin the lines – Movin on – passin lines Movin on – Movin on –

And this is for all the fools and all the go-getters Breaking the rules,
to make poeple’s lives better
Inventing new colours
to paint a new rainbow
Turn all the grey scales of life
into some brilliant shades
of heart-glow
oooh……ohhh… oohooho
oooh……ohhh… oohooho
…… hoo …hoo

Are you still looking for your slice of paradise
You should go for it, once in a while
Stop complaining about all that strivin in vain
You gotta to hang on for good luck
and keep up as long as you can

Even if you may end up like Mr. Don Quichote
seeing visions, reflecting his dreams,
knowing no fear
keep on quenching your thirst that is the only thing
Cause in the End things will never turn out,
as it might first appear

Movin on – passin lines – Movin on –
Movin passin lines Movin on – Movin on –

And this is for all the fools and all the go-getters Breaking the rules,
to make poeple’s lives better Inventing new colours
to paint a new rainbow
Turn all the grey scales of life
into some brilliant shades
of heart-glow
oooh……ohhh… oohooho
oooh……ohhh… oohooho
…… hoo …hoo

You can’t turn back the Wheel

Well it’s been so long I’ve seen your face
and now we meet again
Hope you’re getting on and everything is like it ought to be

Time is running on
and takes your breath
you hold on every now and then
Let’s take a look behind the mirror
and find out what there will be

Stories of the past of all the good and the bad
All the things that made you happy
All the things that made you sad sad
All the drags that never seem to finish all the ones that nearly drove you mad
But looking back is a one-way
backwards and down
and you need to look forward again

No you can‘t turn, turn back the wheel
Cause you can‘t turn, turn back the wheel
No you can‘t turn, turn back the wheel

But you can
hold on, you can hold on
you can cling to your dreams because that’s where you oughta be 

Don’t let them tell you that your misery was only your own fault
You can‘t be blamed for things that couldn’t have seen 

So share thoughts with me
and maybe you will find
a different point of view
sometimes life is just painful 
so leave it and just let it be 

Stories of the past of all the good and the bad
All the things that made you happy
All the things that made you sad sad
All the drags that never seem to finish 
and all the ones that nearly drove you mad
But looking back is a one-way
backwards and down
and you need to look forward again

No you can‘t turn, turn back the wheel
Cause you can‘t turn, turn back the wheel
No you can‘t turn, turn back the wheel

Oh Daddy

wohooo  you were  just a little boy, 
whooo      when your little world was  painted all in black and red and white
whoooo  you were  just a little boy, 

whooooo  and bootet troops were calling out for fight  
whooohoo when Swastikas were raised
and torchlight marches 
flaring through the night                 

Whoooo   you were  just a little boy
Whoooo   when you lost all  your dignity
and  joy
lived  number 13 in the renamed Jewish Street
and brown shirts lift arms to show up how to greet
and shouted out the leader’s vow                                      

Oh Daddy won’t you come up
and play with me                                                           
Oh Daddy won’t you please
stay with me
And don’t you tell me I’m wrong

Oh Daddy oh Daddy – won’t you stop shooting out
Oh Daddy oh Daddy – you’re shoutig much to loud
And don’t you tell me I’m wrong

Woohoo hoo         
when your brother left called up for war 
Woohoo hoo 
tears ran down your face down to the floor

Then they they sent you far away  into a foreign l
not knowing how much time it took
that you would have to spend
the church bombed down at home
killed all your hope and  faith

Oh Daddy oh Daddy
devasted childhood’s roar
Oh Daddy oh Daddy
destroyed throughout the war
Please don’t you tell me I’m wrong,
don’t you tell me I’m wrong
Oh Daddy, Daddy still see your last goodbye
your mournful soul, your doubtful eye

I promise I will be strong
I promise I will be strong

Everytime I see a photograph of you
I feel love and I feel pain
Everytime I’m trying to get over you
I’d like  to play with you again

Reaching out

I was trying to find out
what I was looking for
when I got into all these things I left behind

I think, I can‘t delete them anymore
Memories burning deep in my mind

If one these stories is echoing back
Nothing matters the way that it did
No answers left to keep me from falling down
Only know that I may have to quit

I‘d really liked to share anything with you
Something I don‘t need to hide
Could you show me a way, if I asked you to
Or just stay here by my side?

I’m reachin’ out for your heart
I’m reachin’ out for you

I’m reachin’ out for your hand
Oh won‘t you stay

I’m reachin’ out for your heart
I’m reachin’ out for you

I’m reachin’ out for your hand
Oh won‘t you stay

My cosmic ATUMN REBELLION

They tell us autumn‘s a-comin‘
And soon everything around us will die
Only a fool believes that
He is different from the birds in the sky

All those birds go chasin‘
Some better, sunny days
You can‘t hear them singing
Cause they‘ve all gone away

But this one bird didn‘t leave you
It stayed through the wintertime
You can‘t hear it sing
But you can hear it as it flies

So don‘t you believe them
They‘ll destroy you with their lies
They only see the obvious
They see the sun go down,
but they don‘t see it rise

This one bird didn‘t leave you
You can hear it as it flies
It‘s not very loud
But you can hear it if you try

So don‘t you believe them
Yes, it‘s true, someday everything dies
We won‘t let that defeat us
We can‘t hear him sing
but we can hear it as it flies

ROCK ‚N‘ ROLL QUEEN

Listen woman you needn’t look so stupid
when I call your name out loud
Cause everybody thinks you’re
a sweet smelling girl with intelligence
And you know how

I wouldn’t want anyone else to know
About the way you really are

You’re just a rock and roll queen
You know what I mean
And I’m just a rock and roll star

Listen woman you needn’t go to bed
with everybody that you meet
Cause everybody thinks you’re
a sweet little girl with intelligence in your feet

I wouldn’t want anyone else to know
About the way you really are
You’re just a rock and roll queen
You know what I mean
And I’m just a rock and roll star
Alright!

You’re just a rock and roll queen
You know what I mean
And I’m just a rock and roll star

I really Wanna Know

Did you ever try to stop a while
take your time to recognize
Is it time that’s drivin you along
or did it really make you wise
or did you only loose your way in no direction?

Did it happen that you stepped aside,
a sudden move you couldn’t fight
Or maybe that the hurdles that you tried
were far too high and set too tight,
or maybe you were stuck in
something needing more detection?

Can you tell me what is up in your life?
are you dancing on the edge of a knife?
Or are you only moving down
the same old way?

I really wanna know
I really wanna know
I really wanna know
If you‘ve already got the blues
or if there‘s still some Rock ’n‘ Roll?

So lend your hand and let us take walk
Stroll around and the park
and share an easy talk

I don’t wanna make a real bis show
but there’s something in the air
I really wanna know
your indicating that there must be
something that you ought to tell me

Can you tell me what is up in your life?
are you dancing on the edge of a knife?
Or are you only moving down
the same old way?

GET AWAY

You never listen to me anyway
I got a plan, that is all I say
Sometimes I wish
I could cry out loud 
But then again I‘m not so proud

Can you just try to think in different ways 
The games you play, beeing such a waste 
I’m not your servant
that’s a big mistake
I gotta shut that down
before it is too late 

ohoho only take a minute
ohoho only thinking twice 
ohohoho you know
I’ve got no choice,
I’ve got no choice,

Wanna get away,
wanna get away,
wanna get away,

Wanna get away,
wanna get away,
wanna get away,

wanna get away,
wanna get away from you
There’s nothing left to say,
nothings left to do

Senseless trying,
senseless odysseys
I gave enough in
many different ways
And nothin’ else is left
to keep me save
although I just don’t
feel so brave

ohoho only take a minute
ohoho only thinking twice 
ohohoho you know
I’ve got no choice,
I’ve got no choice,

Wanna get away,
wanna get away,
wanna get away,

Wanna get away,
wanna get away,
wanna get away,

wanna get away,
wanna get away from you
There’s nothing left to say,
nothings l eft to do

MIRROR

She walks through the darkness
She sees it crystal clear
She reflects you through a mirror
Pain and tears for fear

She doesn’t flow
slips and falls and raises again
she still wants more
She feels this is Karma
the more she reacts
She gets trapped in
into the spider‘s web,
into the spiders web

So, my love what I see in you
You bring light into the darkness
to carry home the truth
So, my love
what I see in you
You bring light into the darkness
to carry home the truth
to carry home the truth

She totally steps out of herself
She’s in love with the world
Her will is stone breaking, borders don‘t existHer little heart is shaking
She seeks –– and longs –––for love
don‘t miss and wanders through the
fire dazzled by the light
All is pure transparency it‘s time to stop thefight

No falling back behind
Love simplifies the matter

So, my love what I see in you
You bring light into the darkness
to carry home the truth

So, my love what I see in you
You bring light into the darkness to carry home the truth to carry home the truth

Yes she can go beyond all of that
when she climbs up on top
Turn on the light slowdown
and stop
the clock

GRAIN OF SAND

You never talk to much because you
think that’s cool and clever
You never show that you’re touched because
your coolness is a shelter
And when I count to three you’re only waiting
till it‘s done
You always seem to be the one
who‘s rippin off for fun

Your life has no past
Your heartbeat is only free and easy jazz
Living with you means being alone
You claim all for yourself and don‘t leave a grain of sand

You’ll never turn around and say that you feel sorry
You never get up quickly neverrushin, never hurryAnd when you smile only for a while you‘re hiding all away
You hidin almost everything in different shades of gray

Your don‘t share your dreams
You never seem to see what anybody really needs.
Livin with you means being alone and
you claim all for yourself and don‘t leave a grain of sand

strength lies in your face,
and dont you know?
your silence is your space,
and dont you know
nothing ever seems to grow, don’t you know?

Never loose your trace
And don’t you know
But your a big disgrace
don’t you know
Your mind is spread and
always see sot overflow

Your life has no words
But still your voice is sounding
like an easy humming bird
Livin with you means being alone and
you claim all for yourself and don’t leave a grain of Sand
