Move Over

Submitted by Tim DuFour

You say that it’s over baby
You say that it’s over now
But still you hang around
Oh come on, won’t you move over

You know that I need a man
You know that I need a good man
But when I ask you to you just tell me
That may be a game

Make up your mind honey
Yeah, you’re playing the blues
Make up your mind darling
Yeah, you’re playing the blues
Now either be my loving man I said,
Or let me honey let me be, let me be

Please don’t you do it to me babe
No, please don’t you do it to me
Either take this love I offer
Honey let me be

I ain’t quite ready for walkin’
No no no, I ain’t quite ready for walkin’
‘Cuz what I’m gonna do with your love
Lord just hanging in

Oh yeah, make up your mind honey
You’re playing the blues
Make up your mind darling
You’re playing the blues
Now either be my loving man I said,
Or let me honey let me be, let me be
Let me be, let me be

Oh lord won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz

Move over, move over
<repeat to end>

I need to see it in me
The way you play with my affections honey
I can see it won’t work baby
Oh lord won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz
(??????????)
I can see it won’t work baby
The way you play with my affections honey
I can feel it in my heart
I need to see it in me
We are off…

 

Super Freak Family

Submitted by Tim DuFour

[computer voice]
Freak brothers and freak sisters, my super freak family
Freak brothers and freak sisters, my super freak family
Nina Hagen fragen

I’m hearing cosmic noises shouted in my ear
They say we’ve got two choices, one is freedom, one is fear
Walking down on Broadway the birds are singing clear
Nina Hagen fragen, Nina is the pioneer here, here

<Chorus>
Freak brothers and freak sisters, my super freak family
Freak brothers and freak sisters, my super freak family
Freak brothers and freak sisters, my super freaky family
Freak brothers and freak sisters, my super freak family
Fantastic, so fantastic (x2)
Freak! Freak! Freak! (x2)

A very groovy dream I had to dream last night
Guess what, I met Sid Vicious, oh yes that’s right
He took me to his funeral, he made a special flip out of the grave just for me
We felt like super family, he and me, he and me

<Chorus>

I also have a girlfriend from Hollywood
Her name is Angelyne, and she’s a billboard queen
She’s gazing into her crystal ball especially for me
Saying, “Nina, did you really?”
Yes I’ve got married yee hee hee

I also went to see his eminence, prince what’s his name you know
The show was pretty funky, so I ran to the very first row
But (DAMN A) security was giving it to me (???)
I had to cry, I wonder why the prince didn’t rescue me, not me, uh uh, uh uh…

<Chorus>

 

Love Heart Attack

Submitted by Tim DuFour

Gets me heated in the coldest time
A warmth in the hand can freeze the mind
Between man and the beast is a very thin line
When untamed passion gets satisfied
With each and every heartbeat, it happened any time
Desire gets undressed, so does our behavior
With each and every heartbeat, it happened any time
And every true lover, true to each other, does another lover favors

Opportunity never gave control
Keep on turnin’ me on
Everything I do is coming from my soul
Keep on turnin’ me on
Between man and the beast is a very thin line
Keep on turnin’ me on
When untamed passion gets satisfied
Keep on turnin’ me on

<Chorus> x2
I like when you do to me
I love what you do to me
Love heart attack

I’m gonna learn about it just give me a little time
Keep on turnin’ me on
But right now what he does is on my mind
Keep on turnin’ me on
The untamed passion gets satisfied
Keep on turnin’ me on
Between man and the beast is a very thin line
Keep on turnin’ me on
With each and every heartbeat, it happened any time
Desire gets undressed, so does our behavior
With each and every heartbeat, it happened any time
And every true lover, true to each other, does another lover favors

<Chorus> x2
I like when you do to me
I love what you do to me
Love heart attack

The opportunity gives no control
Keep on turnin’ me on
Everything we do is heart and soul
Keep on turnin’ me on
A woman and a beast is what I feel sometimes
Keep on turnin’ me on
When untamed passion gets satisfied
Keep on turnin’ me on

He becomes awake when I lay him down
And he sees his (?????) into the lost and found
And every true lover, true to each other, does another lover favors

I like when you do to me
I love what you do to me
Love heart attack…

Dope Sucks

Submitted by Tim DuFour

Dope sucks! (x8)

Don’t want to put on a narcotic revolution
Don’t want to push it on a dead end street
I hate to see you running round in circles
Don’t want to catch you with a piece of (????????)

We’re working down and nasty
Down to what you honestly feel
You better do it from the heart
And don’t you do it from the head
You better do it from the heart

I hate to see you fade away in a Heartbreak Hotel room
I don’t like to see you running hot like a disease in the doom
We search for an honest answer
See what you honestly feel
You better do it from the heart
And don’t you do it from the head
You better do it from the heart

Dope Sucks! (x3)
Just say no

I don’t want to be your (FRIENDLY ????????)
‘Cuz your words are sweet as honey
I don’t want you to (????????????)
‘Cuz your mind is on my money
I don’t want
you to stare and shoot
(Who’s got the prettiest shoes????)
I just want to crank you up some more
Just want to turn you loose

Don’t want to put on a narcotic revolution
Don’t want to push it on a dead end street
I hate to see you running round in circles
Don’t want to catch you with a piece of (????????)

Only Seventeen

Submitted by Tim DuFour

Birds bring me this message
It helps to start my day
Heaven still does us favors
Like the Indians used to say
Keeping alive in a dying world
The basics remain the best way
This ain’t nothing you haven’t heard
But the new age is here to stay

<Chorus>
So young you should not be lazy
Work hard, but don’t make yourself crazy
Who’s gonna listen when you disapprove?
They say the excuses have all been used

Giving this world all you can of yourself
And somebody still isn’t satisfied
Trust yourself, if no one else
Be strong, you know you’re gonna make it

<Chorus>

Young! Savage! And only seventeen
Big! Power! You’re my living dream
Super! Great! The leader of the scene
So young, savage, and only seventeen, only seventeen
So young, so strong, I will follow you
So big, so great, I’m in love it’s true
Get me, I’m ready, if not I will be blue
If you want me to I’d follow you
Just ask me to, yes I love you

Nothing in the world comes before it’s time
Like it or not, so is this life designed
Old dogs and new tricks must be kept apart
So when you give love it must be from the heart

<Chorus>

Young! Savage! But only seventeen
Big! Power! You’re my living dream
Super! Great! The leader of the scene
So young, savage, and only seventeen, only seventeen
So young, so strong, I will follow you
So big, so great, I’m in love it’s true
Get me, I’m ready, if not I will be blue

You’re too young to be exposed
Radiation’s burning through your clothes
Your heart’s on fire, your mind’s ablaze
In (AN AGE OLD) a stranger waits

Youire seventeen, a teenage dream
Your heart is the rhythm of the acid scene
Whereis a nightclub icuz you gotta go
The people know where the bass bands blow
And the rhythm and the body
But youire not satisfied
You wanna take your mind on a little ride
You’re only seventeen and right through the night
So (????????) the wisdom of your life

Make me your queen
You are my dream
I know you’re big
I hope you’ll dig
My Angebot
I’m the Chinese Goat
If you want me to
I’ll follow you
Just ask me to
Yes I love you . . .

Thug: Eventually babe, eventually.
Nina: Well then you better come right now.

On Portobello Road Road we’ve got a nice little squat
It’s a secret nightclub ‘cuz we’re so smart
Our landlord is Jesus Christ and Mickey Mouse
‘Cuz we’re the most happening green house
All the newest bands are playing
You don’t have to pay to get in
I’m gonna be the host
Me, my friend and the holy ghost
The Mutoid Waste Company is on the drum
They come from another planet
And they’re so much fun
And Eddie Rockwell just got a brand new rap (?)
We got funk in Moscow, ?????

Where’s the party?
You know that there’s a party
So where’s the party, man?
You know that there’s a party

All the groovy kids from Milan’s (???), they’re on the go
Pop in after eleven
The green house is like heaven
Zarah and Janette brought their newest pet
From the Battersea Dog Home
It’s no dog, it’s a black cat

What you gonna do on Saturday night
Wanna come to my place feel all right
Wear your best suit
Make yourself into a mutant
You better dress to impress
So come along and sing this song

Where’s the party?
You know that there’s a party
So where’s the party?

So where’s the party?
You know that there’s a party

Me, my friend and the holy ghost
If you want excitement, it’s for free
If you need enlightenment, come to me
Come with me
Come to me

Oh good gosh! The house is tilting
Now the police are trying to fit in
When they see my friendly smiling face
They decide at once to leave the place

What you gonna do on Saturday night
You gotta come to my place feel all right
Wear your best suit
Turn yourself into a mutant
You better dress to impress
So come along and sing this song

Where’s the party?
You know that there’s a party
So where’s the party?
You know that there’s a party

Michail, Michail
Dieses Liedchen ist für Dich
Lass Dir bloß nicht übern Tisch ziehn

Michail, Michail
Bleibe klug und bleibe schlau
Bleibe Kind und sei ein Mann
und sei tapfer wie ‘ne Frau
Sonst gabs Kanonen statt Butter
jetzt jibt et Freiheit statt Butter
Mein lieber Gorbi, det macht mir Sorgi
Nix is mit Freiheit ohne Futter
Ick will in keen Paradies rin
Die Welt soll bloß nicht so mies sin
Ick will bloß Wahrheit, Brot und Tomaten
Prost auf die Liebe und Sojabraten

Oi oi mama, Hoffnung die ich heg
Mütterchen mein, Rußland macht sich aufn Weg Oi oi mama, blas mal in die Glut
Feuerchen, Du wärmst mich und das macht mir Mut Michail, Michail

Zieht euch warm an!

Michail, Michail
Überall in Ost und West
hast Du Freunde, doch auch Feinde
und die wünschen Dir die Pest
Michail, Michail
aber ich, ich wünsch’ Dir Glück
daß Du weiter Deinen Weg machst
ohne Kugel ins Genick
Da streiten sich die Gelehrten
wie rund ist die Ecke
ist die Reform ne Revolution
Bist Du nurn Verräter odern Recke
Mir ist det schnuppe, ick denke
det ick dir damit nich kränke
An Deinen Taten soll man dir messen
Freiheit und Lieder und Wurscht zum Essen

Oi oi mama, was er alles kann
Mach mach dumm, schnell ist man ein Tyrann
Oi oi papa, Du kannst mehr
Bleibe immer Mensch und sei ein Revolutionär Michail, Michail

Jetzt noch einmal!

Vladimir, sprach ich
Sag, geht das mit dem Gorbi klar
oder spielt er nur moderner
wieder mal den alten Zar
Es gibt so viele Parasiten
uniformierte Banditen
Putschgeneräle und Offiziere
ordenbehängte hohe Tiere
So viele Menschenverwalter
die sehen Glasnost mit kalter,
mit kalter Wut und mit heißem Schrecken
die mußte wieder in die Arbeit stecken

Oi oi mama, eine neue Zeit
Offen alle Grenzen, oi Gerechtigkeit
Oi oi Kinder, klein ist unsre Welt
Und sie soll ein Garten werden
wo eine grüne Kuppel steht
Michail, Michail

Las Vegas

Submitted by Chris Lord in Paris

Bright lights city’s gonna set my soul
Gonna set my soul on fire
Got a whole lot of money that’s ready to burn
So get those stakes up higher
There’s a thousand pretty women waitin out there
And they’re all livin, the devil may care
And I m just a devil with love to spare
VIVA LAS VEGAS, VIVA LAS VEGAS

how I wish than there were more
Than twenty four hours in a day
Even if there were fourty more
I wouldn’t sleep a minut away
There’s black-jack, poker and the roulette wheel
A fortune won and lost, on every deal
All you need is money (strong heart ?) and nerves of steel
VIVA LAS VEGAS, VIVA LAS VEGAS

Viva Las Vegas with the neon flashing
And your one armbandit crashing (And the walls crashing ?)
All your hopes down the drain
Viva Las Vegas turnin day into night-time
Turnin night into day-time
If you see it once, you’ll never be the same again

I’m gonna keep on the run
I’m gonna have me some fun and if it cost me my very last dime
If I wind up broke, well I’ll always remember that I had a swingin’ time
I’m gonna give it everything I got
Lady luck please let the dice stay hot
Let me shoot a seven on every shot
VIVA LAS VEGAS
VIVA LAS VEGAS
VIVA VIVA
LAS VEGAS!

Ave Maria

Ave Maria
Maria, mein Gesang

Er bittet Dich um Gnade
Für Menschen die schon solang
Ganz und gar ohne Hoffnung sind,
Ganz ohne Hoffnung sind
Siehe dort ihr traurig Dasein
Der hunger tief der Angst vor dem Tod
Millionen leben hier auf Erde,
immer neu, in allergrösster Not
Ave Maria
Ave Maria
Santa Maria
Er höre dein Gebet, Maria
So vieles Leid das schon geschah
Warum kommt immer neues Leid?
Nur neues Leid?
Lass nun die Menschen wieder glauben
Lass sie verstehen und verzeihen
Dann könnten alle Völker Freunde
Und alle Rassen Brüder sein
Ave Maria

Aaaaahh…..
Lass nun die Menschen wieder glauben
Lass sie verstehen und verzeihen
Dann könnten alle Völker Freunde
Und alle Rassen Brüder sein

Ave Maria

Ave Maria, Maria of whom I sing
We are asking you for mercy
For people who have already been waiting so long
Totally without hope
Totally without hope
See there, their unhappy lives
It hungers deep, from fear of death
Millions live here on the earth
Still yet, in greatest need
Ave Maria
Ave Maria, Saint Maria
Hear my prayers Maria
Where much suffering has already occurred
Why always does more hurt follow more hurt
Let the people have faith again
Let them understand and forgive
Then all peoples could become friends
And all the races could be brothers
