QUIET DAYS
/ ON CELLULOID
(NO MORE – from the album “Remake/Remodel”)
There was a stillness to the air – after all the sirens
stopped
A staircase spiraled to the sky – while the seawinds still
blew on the land
QUIET DAYS IN MY HOMETOWN -
As I walked along the waterfront – on the cold and windy
side
I saw the ripples on the dirty waters – and my father’s
boat that sunk
I turned my mind back to a time – with lazy afternoons
– mysterious and beautiful
And with the evening star – our sorrows smooth as silk
QUIET DAYS IN MY HOMETOWN -
Anyway – the neon fades – I wonder where the hell I am
The city looks at me - without a sound
Anyway, we got it all celluloid
Anyway, we got it all celluloid
-QUIET DAYS IN MY HOMETOWN -
KEEP IT COOL
(NO MORE from the album “Kissin’ In The Blue Dark”)
City scapes – you can’t escape
Loneliness – you will embrace
Out of the dark – into the light
But it’s the night that shines so bright
The traffic murmurs into my ears
There is nothing – nothing to fear
And for the traffic is always right
I put my worries to the other side
A shadow softly kisses my sleepy eyes
The shadow disappears into light
The sun is sinking below the ground
The smell of piss in the underground
I miss waiting – waiting for the bus
Having sex on bunkers and in the underpass
Old dancers, winter dancers
Old dancers, winter dancers
Sunday morning in my brain
Bashful vibes of an older pain
The bitter moon got mad last night
And now he sleeps below so tight
I keep it cool – for you and me
I keep it cool – for you, for me
I keep it cool – for you and me
I keep it cool – for you, for me
SUICIDE COMMANDO
(NO MORE – on various records)
She was my dark haired Lydia of my suburban German dreams
And he, he was the boy – the boy, boy, boy – called James
And it will all end up, like the New York scene
Too much drugs and too much pills and too much songs
SUICIDE COMMANDO, SUICIDE, SUICIDE, OH SUICIDE
King Kong was a murderer – but it, but it, but it was
me
I can’t stand the scene at all, the scene at all, the
scene at all
You are hip and you are down - You are hip and you are
down
Find a city, find a room and find a, find a, find a drug
SUICIDE COMMANDO, SUICIDE, SUICIDE, OH SUICIDE
IL TEMPO REALE
(NO MORE from the album „Midnight People & Lo-Life
Stars“)
I’m a one chord wonder – I’m a one hit wonder
I’m a part time nomad – but the wheel’s turning again
Let the chips fall where they may - against the winter
of our discontent
Against the bounds, the bounds of time – this is paranoia
paradise again
Il tempo reale – where have all the Zeitgeist gone …(repeat)
There’s a lonely girl on the dancefloor (repeat)
Je suis le ventlateral – allez, allez – enfants du paradis
Elle est la rose de fêr – allez, allez Venus De Barrière
On se dit que les temps ont bien changé – mais ca m’est
égal
Adieu Zeitgeist – je t’aimais bien
Il neige sur les temps
Il neige sur les temps
NOT FAR TO GO
(NO MORE from the album „Midnight People & Lo-Life
Stars)
There’s no sound on our silent ride – from the underground
to the city of light
We’ll ride for the afterglow – now all is silent – darkness
takes control
There’s no sound on our silent ride – haven’t slept in
days and everything is fine
There’s no sound on our silent ride – feeling like a loser,
just for a while
We’ll ride for the afterglow – now all is silent – darkness
takes control
We’ll ride for the afterglow – now all is silent – we
lose control
There’s no sound on the way up high – we’re running slowly
out of time
We’ll ride for the afterglow – now all is silent – darkness
takes control
We’ll ride for the afterglow – now all is silent – we
lose control
We’ll ride, winter’s coming soon - now all is silent –
not far to go
We’ll ride for the afterglow – now all is silent – not
far to go
SUNDAY MITTERNACHT
(NO MORE from the album „Midnight People & Lo-Life
Stars“)
I know there’s something happening – constant howling
to the moon
And the sun shines hot on parking lots – the neon buzz
is a soundtrack too (buzz buzz buzz)
There’s no reason but a rhyme
The sky is bold and white on August nights – smoke filled
cafés are my temporary home (buzz buzz buzz)
And every generation lost and found – the morning, the
drone of life
Generations lost and found – Before the clubs close down
Generations lost and found – On Sunday Mitternacht
My harddrive crackles like a campfire – somewhere something
is on the make
And it’s Sunday Mitternacht – nobody has a clue
Embrace the agony – before the clubs close down
Don’t call back the past we’ve lost – transform the quality
of life
I’m wearing Lost Generation shades – while the others
are still uptight
Generations lost and found – Before the clubs close down
Generations lost and found – On Sunday Mitternacht
ALL IS WELL – SENZA MACCHIA
(NO MORE from the album „Sisyphus“)
ALL IS WELL – WHEN NOTHING MATTERS – ALL IS WELL
Ai piedi del volcano - Pietra marmorea riflette la luce
della luna
L'eterno vagabonda riposa - Nella villa dei misteri
Una bella adormentata - Elletra - lo spirito della strada,
la bella lupa
Con gli occhi d'acciao - Mi sussurra: Blocca il meccanismo
ALL IS WELL – WHEN NOTHING MATTERS – ALL IS WELL
Sono diventato l'uomo invisibile - Tutto è cosi fragile
I fiumi cessano di scorrere - I venti cessano di soffiare
Il cuore si fa leggero - Un cuore senza macchia
ALL IS WELL – WHEN NOTHING MATTERS – ALL IS WELL
IN A LEADEN TIME (live version)
(NO MORE from the album „Silence & Revolt“)
All those moments – so bittersweet - memories like shattered
glass
Hollow cheeked and dressed in grey – time is wearing thin
See the world, it’s moving fast – it’s just standing still
Near and far, above below – shifting memories that we
share
Make me understand what’s going wrong
„Now“ is a promise, when the the sun comes up
Raindrops glitter on a windshield and we’re driving, we’re
driving
We’re driving in a leaden time
Carry on, we carry on – we take it from here to there
Water, light and shadows – in a leaden time
Our dreams wrapped in plastic – sinking to the bottom
of the ocean
Dancing, moving – back and forth – dancing into the blue
MIDNIGHT PEOPLE & LO-LIFE STARS
(NO MORE from the album „Midnight People & Lo-Life
Stars“)
We are Midnight People & Lo-Life Stars
Like midnight movies - offbeat stars
Good morning vietnam - we are going far
We are call center agents - HA HA HA
We are Midnight People & Lo-Life Stars
We are salty, sweet and tarred
We are kings and queens and friends and lovers
We don't care about the magazine covers
No more quiet days, no decay
Now the midnight makes my day
We're spitting out - against the breeze
And we venture on such dangerous seas
We are Midnight People & Lo-Life Stars
Raves and rebels at midnight bars
Life's a rebel to my will
But we have to move - we can't stand still
We are Midnight People & Lo-Life Stars
We are Midnight People & Lo-Life Stars
We are Midnight People & Lo-Life Stars
We are far below the bright dog star
TURNAROUND
(NO MORE from the album „Silence & Revolt“)
We're dancing slowly - just freezing time
My world is silent - I turn around
Oh no - I feel so insecure
You send me reeling into the night
And when we're dancing - we seem so lost
like lonely spaceships - drifting apart
These days, they feel so wrong
The day dream is over - we dreamed too long
And I am gazing at the ragged sky
My dreams are fading - I hit the ground
And I will lay down - by your side
Will be so silent - don't turn around
All love is sacred - don't loose yourself
Don't fear the bleakness - just turn around
The darkness passing - without a sound
A road so shiny - that's all we've got
RUINENSONG
(NIJINSKY STYLE from the album „Lost In Paradise“)
Bitter-Süß schmeckt Dein Saft - Du bist ein Korridor
Im Dämmerschlaf
Der Himmel strahlt so eisengrau - Und brauner Regen fällt
auf mein Herz
Der rote Mond die Nacht zerstößt - Küss mein graues Herz
Einsamkeit
In den Ruinen jedes Licht doch hell/er/scheint
