So Bad

I can be so strong
Like a lion on a mission
I can do no wrong
I can fight day and night
That’s my decision!

Because the world is…

(So bad) Like diet soda
(So bad) I’m counting 37 wars
(So bad) User friendly
(So bad) We lost the singer of the Doors
(So bad) The U.F.O. conspiracy
(So bad) Starvation and leprosy
(So bad) Hiroshima Tomsk Tschernobyl
(So bad) It’s never gonna heal

I can be so good
Like a goddess
Plus, I’m modest
I…I have no fear
I will go all the way
I can show you how to pray

Because the world is…

(So bad) Deadly chemotherapy
(So bad) The lies about HIV
(So bad) We’ve lost our last chance
(So bad) And we’re all dancing Shiva’s dance
(So bad) Genetic obsession
(So bad) Misused atomic energy
(So bad) Surprise, surprise, the culture industry
(So bad) Helmut Kohl!

You can do no wrong
If you fight on my side
If you make that decision

Because the world is…

(So bad) I.R.A. and R.A.F.
(So bad) Are we really blind and deaf
(So bad) The Yogoslavian rape
(So bad) And no-one can escape
(So bad) The Nazi lunacy
(So bad) Artificial ecstasy
(So bad) I hate my T.V.

So bad..bad…bad…

 

Revolution Ballroom

When the Lord was in the flesh
Showing us the truth
He sacrificed himself
To purify the roots

He said “Blessed be the one
Who knows my father’s name
When the time has come”

I can put my trust in Jesus,
But can he put his trust in me
Do I do my best in service,
Even though no-one can see
I can say that he’s my saviour,
And from sin he set me free
I can put my trust in Jesus,
But can he put his trust in me

Revolution ballroom
Bringing light into the dark
Revolution dancehall
Nothing more to day
Revolution ballroom
Like a rainbow shining in the sky
Revolution dancehall
Looking for a better day

The same story happened
On Kumaoni Hill
When Babaji appeared
Shaking our wills
He said “Be fearless and courageous,
cross ice and fire at the funeral pyre”

I can put my trust in Babaji,
But can he put his trust in me
Do I help those who would need me,
Do I really set them free
I can say that he’s my guru,
And from death he set me free
I can put my trust in Babaji,
But can he put his trust in me

Revolution ballroom
Bringing light into the dark
Revolution dancehall
Nothing more to day
Revolution ballroom
Like a rainbow shining in the sky
Revolution dancehall
Looking for a better day

We’re all the same
Like stars in the night
Let’s stop the war
Let’s drop the fight
Swim in oceans of love
Instead of blood and tears
‘Cause the times are near

Glory Glory Hallelujah, Om Namah Shivaya
Glory Glory Hallelujah, Om Namah Shivaya
Glory Glory Hallelujah, Om Namah Shivaya

Revolution ballroom
Bringing light into the dark
Revolution dancehall
Nothing more to day
Revolution ballroom
Like a rainbow shining in the sky
Revolution dancehall
Looking for a better day

Om Namah Shivaya…

 

Right on Time

You can’t hurry my God
No, no, no
You just gotta wait
You’ve gotta trust God and give him time
No matter how long it will take
But he’s a God we just can’t hurry
But he’ll be there, don’t you worry
I say he may not come when you want him,
But he’s “right on time!”

You can’t hurry my God
No, no, no
You just gotta wait
You’ve gotta trust God and give him time
No matter how long it will take
But he’s a God we just can’t hurry
But he’ll be there, don’t you worry
I say he may not come when you want him,
But he’s “right on time!”

Well, brother Joe was sick so long
Until the flesh fell from his bones
While with his wife, cattle and children
Well everything he had was gone

Joe said “You put these aflictions upon me Lord,
Now come and see about me”
I said he may not come when you want him,
Bue he’s “right on time!”

Well some say he’s coming in the morning
And he’s gonna make the journey by train
Or some say he’d be riding in a chariot
Shakin’ like an angel wing

Well I don’t know how soon God’s coming!
But don’t let him catch you with your wicked game, now
He may not come with we want him
But he’s “Right on time!”

You can’t hurry my God
No, no, no
You just gotta wait
You’ve gotta trust God and give him time
No matter how long it will take
But he’s a God we just can’t hurry
But he’ll be there, don’t you worry
I say he may not come when you want him,
But he’s “right on time!”

Yes!!!

 

Pollution Pirates

Pollution Pirates are sailing the 7 seas
Pollution Pirates are sailing the 7 seas
Long John Silver is dumping his chemical waste
The sea is turning gray with a slick once more
All the animals are lying dead on the shore

Pollution Pirates are sailing the 7 seas
Pollution Pirates are sailing the 7 seas

One day we will glow,
And one day we will flow
In the meantime baby
What you got to do is
Let yourself go

One day we may fly,
And the next day we may die
In the meantime baby
What you got to do is
Give it a try

One day we are fine,
The next day we may decline
In the meantime baby
What you got to do is
Learn to shine

Pollution Pirates are sailing the 7 seas (we are the Rainbow Warriors)
Pollution Pirates are sailing the 7 seas (we are the Rainbow Warriors)
Long John Silver is dumping his chemical waste
The sea is turning gray with a slick once more
All the animals are lying dead on the shore

One day you feel great and
The next day you lose your mate
In the meantime baby
What you got to do is
Have some faith!

One day you feel so free and
The next day you drive into a tree!
In the meantime baby
What you got to do is
Learn to see

One day they give you a pill and
The next day you feel really ill!
In themeantime baby
What you got to do is
Use your own will!

Pollution Pirates are sailing the 7 seas (we are the Rainbow Warriors)
Pollution Pirates are sailing the 7 seas (we are the Rainbow Warriors)
Long John Silver is dumping his chemical waste
The sea is turning gray with a slick once more
All the animals are lying dead on the shore

How many times must these words be said
How many times until it gets inside of your head
Yello, black, brown or white
Man, woman or child
Times keep on changing
But peace still has no name
Times keep on changing
But peace still has no name…

Together, forever and ever, amen

 

L’Amore

Submitted by Doug Becci

E si parla d’amore
Ma l’amore dove sta
Lui e li che aspetta
Che qualcuna si ricordera
Amore di mente
Amore di parole
Viviamone uno solamente
L’amore che e nel cuore

Amore capricciosso
Amore clandestino
Viviamone uno solamente
L’amore del divino
E uniamo le nostre mani
In un’unica preghiera
In questo gran maya
Om Namah Shivaya

English

And let’s speak of love
Where does love stay
Here and there we hope
That someone might remember
Love of the mind
Love of words
Let’s live only for
Love that is in the heart

Bizarre love
Clandestine love
Let’s live only for
Love of the divine
And join our hands
In one prayer
In this great “maya”
Om namah shivaya

 

Pillow Talk

Pillow talk, pillow talk
Another night I hear myself just
Talk, talk, talk
Wonder how it would be
To have someone to pillow talk to me
I wonder how
I wonder who

Pillow talk, pillow talk
Another night I’m being alone with
Talk, talk, talk
When it’s all said and done
Two halves together they can be better than one
That’s what they say
They always say

All I do is talk to my pillow,
Talk to my pillow,
Talk to my pillow
All I do is talk to my pillow,
Talk about the boy I’m going to marry
Someday
Somehow
Somewhere
Sometime

Pillow talk, pillow talk
Another night I get my pillow to
Talk, talk, talk
My pillow and I, we both agree
There must be a boy
There must be a pillow
There must be a pillow-talking boy for me
I hope I’m right
I hope I’m right
I better be right
I better be right
Oh, there must be a pillow-talking boy for me

There must be a boy
There must be a boy
There must be a boy

All I do is talk to my pillow,
Talk to my pillow,
Talk to my pillow
All I do is talk to my pillow,
Talk about the boy I’m going to marry
Someday
Somehow
Somewhere
Sometime

 

Berlin

Wir tanzen und verfuehren
Wir singen und beruehren
Wir herrschen und betruegen
Wir kriechen und wir luegen

We’re loving and romancing
We’re singing and we’re dancing
We beat it when we need it
We’re lying and keep smiling

Wir leben bis wir schweben
Wir hoffen und wir beten
Wir trinken und wir essen
Wir lachen und vergessen

Was die Leute reden ist wie der Wind
Es rauscht and mir vorbei
Wir brauchen Worte, die Verbindung schaffen
Von vorurteilen frei

Berlin!!
Berlin!!

Ich liebe die Stimmung
L’atmosphere c’est tres bizarre
Right over here
Chez toi at the “Tempodrom”
At the “Tunnel” and the “Q”
Over here
Avec un rendez-vous
Toujour retour c’est la vie
Ma oui oui oui oui oui oui oui
C’est la vie!

We all gotta choose
If we gonna win or if we gonna lose
We all gotta choose
If we gonna win or if we gonna lose

Berlin!!
Berlin!!

Osten, Westen werden hell,
Ja die grosse Stadt ist schnell!
Send me a postcard if you please
C’est royale, c’est manifique
Osten, Westen werden hell,
Ja die grosse Stadt is schnell!
Send me a postcard if you please
C’est royale, c’est manifique

Berlin!!

We all gotta choose
If we gonna win or if we gonna lose
We all gotta choose
If we gonna win or if we gonna lose…

 

I’m Gonna Live the Life

I’m going to live the life
I sing about in my song
I’m going to stand for right
And always shun the wrong
If I’m in the crowd
Or if I’m alone
On the street or in my home
I’m going to live the life
I sing about in my song

Every day, everywhere
On that busy thoroughfare
Folk may watch me, some may spot me
Say I’m foolish, but I don’t care
I can’t sing one thing
And then live another
Be a saint by day
And a devil undercover
I’m going to live the life
I sing about in my song

I’m going to live the life
I sing about in my song
I’m going to stand for right
And always shun the wrong
If I’m in the crowd
Or if I’m alone
On the street or in my home
I’m going to live the life
I sing about in my song, yes!

Every day, every night
I must always walk in the light
Some mistake me, underrate me
Because I want to do what’s right
I can’t go to church
And shout all day Sunday
Go out and get drunk
And raise’s all day monday (?)
I’ve got to live the life
I sing about in my song

I’m going to live the life
I sing about in my song
I’m going to live the life
I sing about in my song

 

Gypsy Love

Gimmie-gimmie-gimmie…
Give me the chance to express
My big love is a big success
I always wanted to ask you this:
Do you really know what love is?
Love is to help one another
To give and to share like a good mother
Now if you are Italian, English or German
Doesn’t make a diffrence even if your name’s Herman
You will find your counterpart
And you know it in your heart
Your love is all that matters
Only love can sex us
Love me, love me, love again and again

Heaven’s on the big bed in my caravan
My gypsy love is free, hi hi!!!
Heaven’s on the big bed in my caravan
My gypsy love is where you’ll find me!!!

On wild wild horses of cosmic evolution
And across deserts of death
I’ve travelled from time to time
To find at last your velvet soft cushion of revelation
And with the softest touch of tenderness
I’m wearing your costume of graceful bliss
My wings of rainbows strive to paradise
Of exstatic peace and holy love

There’s more than enough at the fo
untain of joy
Where tears of love I cry
I’m getting bolder and bolder
I’m already leaning on your shoulder
Hey, it’s no crap
But I wanna sit on your lap

Heaven’s on the big bed in my caravan
My gypsy love is free, hi hiiii!
Heaven’s on the big bed in my caravan
My gypsy love is where you’ll find me!!!

My golden astral body is shining with a spark of immortality
Most definitely I hopped from one existence to another
And I will keep on jumpin’ gaily
From one pleasure blade to another
Until I rest on the save ground of your divine lingam
Om Namah Shivaya!

Heaven’s on the big bed in my caravan
My gypsy love is free, hi hiiii!
Heaven’s on the big bed in my caravan
My gypsy love is where you’ll find me!!!

Kauna So Kashta Munindra Hai Jaga Main,

English

refrain: Speak loudly of the holy Lord of Haidakhan.
Tell of God, the personification of Truth, Consciousness and Bliss.
Proclaim holy Lord Shiva with the Goddess Mother,
The Sustainer, Inspirer, and World Master.

Hail, hail to Lord Haidakhan,
Who incarnated for the liberation of the world.

Thou alone art my true divine Master,
Shiva invisible, unperceivable, highest God.

Your heart is very full of mercy,
One who surrenders to you is immediately liberated.

What pain in the world cannot be removed,
Instantly by your grace, O king of sages?

You always speak words which remove our fear.
Baba fulfills all desires.

O Lord, you are the source of auspiciousness, the remover of evil.
I sacrifice everything at your lotus feet.

Great Sage, you speak very sweetly, extremely benevolently;
Your sentences are the essence of knowledge.

The true eternal religion, full of generosity,
Tells of knowledge combined with holy work.

Each one’s own duty is good for him,
Jealousy and hatred are not.

Truth, simplicity and love, brother,
This duty alone brings man happiness.

Meditate on the Lord’s name, brother, to purify the heart.
Find the Lord sitting in your heart.

Holy Shiva is residing in your heart.
Find him there, leave ignorance and disappointment behind.

The great saint, an ocean of all qualities,
Whose beginning and end nobody knows.

Haidakhan is a wonderful place
Very holy giving joy and solace.

The roar of the Gautama Ganga is heard day and night;
Siddhas, gods and demons worship there every day.

Holy mount Kailash, so beautiful,
Looking at it, the mind yearns for it.

Under that mountain is a beautiful cave;
That great cave is described in the Vedas.

The wild animals wandering in the dense forest,
They forget all enmity among themselves.

Since the Lord started living here,
The “Garden of the Heaven’s” beauty faded in comparison.

All glory to this holy place is ours,
Which Shiva enjoys as his living place.

Thy merciful look gives love of Thy holy feet.
By no other method can one get a pure mind.

Now Lord, show me grace in this way,
Let me renounce all and do meditation day and night.

Praise to Amba, mother of the universe.
All forms are one, Thou, mother goddess Amba.

Blumen für die Damen

English translation submitted by Doug Becci

At night, when many are already asleep
but a thousand lights are still glowing
then I have to wander the streets
and from many houses I take

Flowers for the ladies

When dark red roses
stand on white tables
when hands caress them
then I have to be on my way

Alone!

In this big city
and no-one who,
even once, sends me flowers

Luck left me long ago
no-one in the world loves me
I’m alone!

So I wander through the streets,
how long, I have but little idea
And if I’m finally able to sleep
then I’ll say in my dreams

Flowers for the ladies

 

Berlin (ist Dufte!)

English translation by Doug Becci

Berlin is great, capital of the GDR
Berlin is great, capital of the GDR
Berlin is great, and the old wall
Isn’t there anymore

There’s a party in the Karl Marx Allee
On Unter den Linden, Udo lost his overstuffed wallet
In Kleibelstrasse there’s a large show going on
And the borders of the capital are ablaze with light
On Strausbergerplatz I suddenly met my sweetheart
And then we crossed over again to Alexanderplatz
My old Fraulein-Director, from Prenzlauer Berg
Sings the new slogan…

Berlin is great, capital of the GDR
Berlin is great, capital of the GDR
Berlin is great, and the old wall
Isn’t there anymore

I’m telling you now
I’m taking over the Lenne triangle
And no-one
Will be bothered by the police
There’s a party going on
In Laubenpieper-Wilhelmsruh
I’m with all the Berliners
With you and you
You and you,
I and you and you…

 

Gretchen

English translation by Doug Becci

German

Meine Ruh’ ist hin, mein Herz ist schwer;
ich finde sie nimmer und nimmermehr.
Wo ich ihn nicht hab’, ist mir das Grab.
Die ganze Welt ist mir vergällt.
Mein armer Kopf ist mir verrückt,
mein armer Sinn ist mir zerstückt.

Meine Ruh’ ist hin, mein Herz ist schwer,
ich finde sie nimmer und nimmermehr.
Nach ihm nur schaue’ ich zum Fenster hinaus,
nach ihm nur geh’ ich aus dem Haus.
Sein hoher Gang, seine hohe Gestalt,
seines Mundes Lächeln, seiner Augen Gewalt,
und seiner Rede Zauberfluß,
sein Händedruck, und ach, sein Kuß!

Meine Ruh’ ist hin, mein Herz ist schwer,
ich finde sie nimmer und nimmermehr.
Mein Busen drängt sich zu ihm hin;
ach dürft’ ich fassen und halten ihn,
und küssen ihn, so wie ich wollt’,
an seinen Küssen vergehen sollt’.
Meine Ruh’ ist hin, mein Herz ist schwer.

English

My composure is gone, my heart is heavy
I search but can’t find her at all anymore
Since I don’t have him anymore, it’s the pits.
My whole world is embittered. My poor body is crazy.
My poor mind is overcome.
I watch out of the window only to see him
I leave the house just to look for him.
The sound of his step, his noble manner, his smiling mouth,
his virtuous power, his spellbinding repartee, the pressure
of his hands, and yes, ‘his kiss’.
My breast longs for him
Oh, if I could just grab him and hold him
and kiss him, just as I wish, I should die from his kisses,
die from his kisses.
Oh if I could kiss him, just as I wish,
I should die from his kisses…

 

Erfurt and Gera

English translation by Doug Becci

Honored mourners!
We find ourselves together today
to mourn the passing of our beloved
Christian Kiesling from Erfurt.
We gave the deceased our last escort
and give to the Heavenly Father
the care of his soul!

There’s a gravestone on the autobahn
between Erfurt and Gera
here died a poor critter
in an automobile accident, that was
pretty hard, devastating!

Oh Christian
died on the Autobahn
it was just a few weeks ago when he took off
from the East for the West
The escape attempt was classic
It was his first trip back
and immediately he broke his neck
From Wessi-Land to East-Berlin
between Erfurt and Gera
This destiny is a lesson to all.
Born in Erfurt, lost in Erfurt
He left with a group of seven
And all from Erfurt, in Erfurt different
Nothing’s left for me but loving memories
He was a braggart, a blowhard, a classic case
Spend, spend, spend and live like a playboy
Snuffed out in Erfurt

Quiet!
Or esle I’ll call the peoples-police.

Now, there’s a gravestone on the Autobahn,
between Erfurt and Gera.
So that it doesn’t happen to anyone else,
I’m taking over, as a converter.
And when you trade your Trabbies for BMW’s
you better listen to that little inner voice
you Easteners are racing to the West
to test your new wheels.
Now brakes on, hard, we’re not napping here
The Death-shroud industry is up and running,
and everything is so colorful here
the jaws of death open so quickly here

Oh Christian
died on the Autobahn
The “Bild am Sonntag” covered it fully
Don’t be led astray, you’re part of the intelligent ones

Show me your identity card!!
No, but I can give you a banana!

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…

 

Hold Me

Hold me, hold me, hold me lord

Hold me master, please don’t let me go

Yeah, hold me at night time, hold me by day
Sometimes I feel so far away
Hold me master, please don’t let me go

Take me on up lord, where I belong, where I belong
But holy master, please don’t let me go, don’t let me go

Hold me master, and please don’t let me go, don’t let me go
Please, please don’t let me go

Dope Sucks

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 (????????)

You better do it from the heart
And don’t you do it from the head
You better do it from the heart

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 . . .

Nina: So are you gonna come?
Thug: Eventually babe, eventually.
Nina: Well then you better come right now.
Thug: Right.

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?
You know that there’s a party

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?

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

Las Vegas

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

Maria, mein Gesang

Er bittet Dich um Gnade

Siehe dort ihr traurig Dasein
Der hunger tief der Angst vor dem Tod
Millionen leben hier auf Erde,
immer neu, in allergrösster Not

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, Maria of whom I sing
We are asking you for mercy
For people who have already been waiting so long
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

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

I’m driving in my car
I’m looking for a job
And I’m talking to myself, talking to myself,
Talking to myself, talking to myself

I’m my own radio, my own radio

I’m walking down the street
All the people watch me from my head to feet
And I’m talking to myself, talking to myself, talking to myself

I’m my own radio, my own radio
Miss Universe, Universal Radio

Hey brothers and sisters from the universe
We’re drowning in a pot
Universal Radio Radio release your soul
From mental pollution and mental activity

I’m in space, I’m looking for the chosen place

And I’m talking to myself, talking to myself

Gods of Aquarius

The Gods of Aquarius are coming with UFOs
They love me and they love you
And what they have to say is true

The good old communication with
Holy Spirits of God’s creation
Is true but our church denies it
God, when will they realize it

Oh God, we need the big solution
We can’t stand atomic pollution
Man, it would be such a shame
If we won’t stop the devil’s game

Telepathic communication leads to physical transformation
When at the end of night human race is filled with light

Love, love, never get enough
And if you don’t love, hey hey too tough

Voices, visions some go in trends
Holy Ghost talks to His fans
I really don’t want no more fighting
What I want is automatic writing

Oh my God, the Heavenly Host
Sends us down His Holy Ghost
The Golden Age of Aquarius
The second coming of the glorious

Love, love, never get enough
And if you don’t love, hey hey too tough

Tamara and Tatiana, Olga and Marina,
Nina and Natasha, Iskra and Anastasia

Those Russian girls are dancing queens
Juchei far out in Russian jeans
They look so sweet, they talk so neat
Juchei they twist to Russian beat

In Moscow they go out at night
Juchei all right tonight, all right
Yes, Moscow is the place to be
For you and me and everybody

In the Soviet Union
We celebrate reunion
Because there will be no more fighting
And we will make the United Nations be part of the celebrations
The atomic war will never happen

Ivan and Aljosha, Pavel and Serjosha,
Leonid and Vladimir, Juri and Grigori

Those Russian boys they sing so nice
Juchei Juchei Kalinka Kalinka Kalinka Moga

In the Soviet Union
We celebrate reunion
Because there will be no more fighting
And we will make the United Nations be part of the celebrations
The atomic war will never happen

No no no no no no no no no
Nein nein nein nein nein nein nein nein nein

And more, much more than this
I did it my way . . .

New York, New York

New York City is the hottest place
For a honeymoon in a hotel room

New York City is my favorite place
‘Cause I know so many people with a golden face
Uh-huh!

It’s always late at night when I wanna go out
And New York City has for sure the horniest crowd

Especially for me, this is true
I have the best time when you’re there too

Honey, after the show, when we are ready to go
We are going disco
But before we hit East 7th Street…

We are going to another disco
Disco after disco
And shaking our hair to the disco rap
AM/PM, Pyramid, Roxy, Mudd Club, Danceteria
The newest club is opening up (3x)

New York, New York (4x)
Yeaaaahhhhhh!

New York City is the hottest place
For a honeymoon in a hotel room
Uh-huh!

New York City is a place so nice
Everybody says it so they had to name it twice

New York my happy love to you, I love you very much
I could not live without you, so let’s always keep in touch

New York City has the fanciest rule
When you want to live in this town you just have to be a fool

After the show when we are ready to go
We are going disco
But before we hit East 7th Street…

We are going to another disco
Disco, after disco
And shaking our hair to the disco rap
AM/PM, Pyramid, Roxy, Mudd Club, Danceteria
The newest club is opening up (3x)

New York, New York (8x)
Yeah

It’s going hop hop hop hop hop hop
Straight up to the top
Hop hop hop hop hop hop
Straight up to the top

Let there be light!
‘Cause David Bowie’s gonna be here tonight in New York

I create ecstacy in my world
I know who I am
And I am willing to declare myself to the world
I am a staaaaaaarrrrrrr!
In New York

 

My Sensation

My heart is full of love and affection
In time I’m looking for a brand-new erection
Oh yes, I need your sweet inspiration
You change again and move from station to station

Thank God I got rid of my old affection
Sometimes I’m seeking for total perfection
Yes, I need your sweet inspiration, uh huh
And then I satisfy the nation

Yes, you are my main attraction
You give me all my sexual erection
We’re having fun when we are in action
What a gift, to give satisfaction

It’s been so tough without your love
I can’t be glad, don’t give me that
I need you now, ’cause anyhow
I love you so, don’t tell me no, no!

I want your lips, I want your heart
Oh baby baby, hold me tight tonight (3x)

Oh yes you are my most perfect connection
Because I really need your kind of protection
And I want you to get my information
It’s for your personal salvation

This is a hot and spicy situation
I get my kicks off sensing your vibration
It’s for my spiritual unification, uh huh
And God knows that you’re my sensation

Yes you are my main attraction
You give me all my sexual erection
We’re having fun when we are in action
Oh what a gift, to give satisfaction

It’s been so tough without your love
I can’t be glad, don’t give me that
I need you now, ’cause anyhow
I love you so, don’t tell me no, no!

I want your lips, I want your heart
Oh baby, baby hold me tight tonight (3x)

My deep caress in such a hot location
It’s waiting for your next revelation
I’m sure you’re digging all my stimulation, uh huh
???? through me a generation

This is a hot and spicy situation
I get my kicks off sensing your vibration
It’s for my spiritual unification, uh huh
And God knows that you’re my sensation

Yes you are my main attraction
You give me all my sexual erection
We’re having fun when we are in action
What a gift, to give satisfaction

It’s been so tough without your love
I can’t be glad, so don’t give me that
I need you now, ’cause anyhow
I love you so, don’t tell me no, no

I want your lips, I want your heart
Oh baby, baby hold me tight tonight…

 

Flying Saucers

Attention, attention, here and now, here and now
Achtung, achtung, jetzt komm’ hier, jetzt komm’ hier
Be Fearless

Flying saucers everywhere, say, did you see one too?
One night they came to me as they will also come to you
Those flying saucers are my friends ’cause they’re so nice
I’m gonna see them again and again

For flying saucers we are unbelieveably important
‘Cause they know the secret of life
Yes, flying saucers understand our world with deep compassion
And we are observed in the name of the Light
And it’s so funny when those scary monsters tried to shoot them
And when those bullets just go through them, through

Yes, flying saucers teach us all we’ve always wanted to know
They open up our heart and our mind, no more blindness
The thought of hate and ignorance is fading away
The crisis finally comes to its end

For flying saucers we are unbelievably important
‘Cause they know the secret of life
And flying saucers understand our world with deep compassion
And we are observed in the name of the Light
And it’s so funny when those scary monsters
Get the shock of a lifetime with a close encounter
Of the third kind for the first time

Then they wake up, Good Morning America…
Here and now
Be Fearless
Attention, attention
Sei Angstlos!

 

I Love Paul

I love Paul, let me be your baby doll
I love Paul, I want to be your baby doll (2x)

In front of your grace, I feel like Pigs in Space (oink-oink)
Turn me on and on and on

Life after life after life after life
The news so far (?), because you are a superstar
I’m lost in space because I always see your super face
I can see God’s vibes coming out of your heavenly eyes
By day and by night, my fantasy, oh hold you tight
And then we’ll explode like dynamite and I can see the Light
Liebster Paul, beep beep beep beep (4x)

Well I make the news it’s so fun (?), because you are a superstar
I got lost in space because I always see your super face
I can see God’s vibes coming out of your heavenly eyes
By day and by night, my fantasy, oh hold you tight

The Change

There is no such a thing called death
It’s just a transformation, yeah yeah yeah
That Boy George Roman and Queen Elizabeth
All go from station to station
There is no end, it always goes on
There is no end for you, there is no end for me
Understand, mon cherie
<
br />Heidi…
It’s true [yodel], don’t be blue [yodel]
When we lay down receiving life’s crown
Open your eyes right now
Oh please be nice anyhow
It’s gonna be no end for me

You fight with others just because you are wrong
Accumulating rubbish inside yourself
You have to throw it out, yes you have to throw it out
Human relationships are just so-so today
It’s not too deep and darkness stands in our way
How about the light, I’m finished with the night

There is no end, it always goes on
Take my hand
And then we go the way, decide if you’ll leave or if you’ll stay
Say, what you say? C’mon, hey hey hey

Our religions have to fight with one another
JUST because we have the same father and mother
We shouldn’t think them strange
So we have to do the change, the change

And our children live in danger and in sorrow
Who knows if they’re not radioactive by tomorrow?
We shouldn’t think it strange but we have to do the Change

Yes we have to do the Change
We have to do the Change (4x)
The Change, the Change, the Change

When we don’t wake up now, who knows if we wake up at all!
We’re so important and wish we would not fall
Deep down with Babylon, where’s everybody gone?

It’s true [yodel], don’t be blue [yodel]
When we lay down receiving life’s crown
And then we go the way, decide if you’ll leave or if you’ll stay
Say, what you say? C’mon, hey hey hey

It’s true [yodel], don’t be blue [yodel]
When we lay down…

Thank you for your love, Silent Love (2x)
There is no greater love, Silent Love

And then love comes never to an end (this whole thing 2x)
Never!

Thank you for your love, Silent Love (2x)
There is no greater love, Silent Love
Thank you for your silent loving baby, really
Oh, I’m so happy here

I now stand alone in the great Silence of God
And I am filled with infinite Love and Peace
I am one with the One Life of the universe
I am an eternal being
I am one with the source of all Love

Thank you!

Thank you for your love, Silent Love
Thank you for your love
Thank you for your love
Thank you for your love, Silent Love

 

What It Is

Give it all up to this planet full of strife
Take down your mental fences, it’s my song of life
Exstent your deepest senses there will be no fright
The never ending orchestra of perfect insight
Surrounds your mortal being with a halo of light
Feel your animated aura glow with delight
Soon your every single worry will be out of sight

With the power of it we are about to astound
All your preconceptions they will come unbound
Listen very close my inner voice expounds
We are the human race and we groove to the sound
We Deliver the truth through a musical birth
Our soul shocking sounds will electrify the earth
People have to know that it’s not about the money
Cash is not the way to make your life sunny
There is no need if you’ve got the soul seed
Love life and peace it can only begin
When you know in your heart sun shines from within
Love all your brothers and love all your sisters
Love all the misses and love all the misters
Don’t be shy when you’re sharing your kisses
from me jealousy gets boos and hisses

What it is, What it is
So much to be found
What it is, What it is
What a groovy sound
What it is, What it is
What is in a song
What it is, What it is
You can do no wrong

Balance your life with the right kind of food !
To eat a sad cow is to eat another dude
It’s an unfair act and unforgivably rude
It will put your karma in the worst of moods
So will drinking booze and taking too many ‘ludes
‘Cuz when you pop drugs you cop an attitude
It’s an ugly fake, it’s not the real you
So please you all take some sound advice
Be yourself clear your heart make a sacrifice
The always sober you is especially nice

What it is, What it is. . .

Don’t pollute don’t shoot give combat the boot
I’d rather kick back play my bamboo flute
Refuse to fight wars for political whores
I’m rather riding in on my favorite horse
It is my notion that the perfect peace potion
Can be found in the wake of the green sea’s motion
The long rocking swell of the mighty blue ocean
Is the cradle of peace, the perfect peace potion
There you will find it with the sweet sea creatures
The smile of a dolphin is a built in feature
You will learn much peace with the whale as your teacher
Good morning class, how very nice to meet ya

What it is, What it is. . .

Open up your hearts to the planets and the stars
Let your spirit take a trip from Venus to Mars
You know, Einstein did while Hitler hit
Now Albert lives forever in every single kid
But with Adolph Hitler we are permanently rid
Picasso, Mr. Dali and my man Jimi Hendrix
These cool brothers make the world go ’round
Yeah they do it with art and Jimi did it with sound
But all these men it was found
That they were not any more so earth bound
Don’t let the racist ways give us more and more delays
Stand up for equal rights be like the burning lights
Go and spread the word from town to town
We are the human race and up we go you clown

Now that you’ve heard what is in our song
From here on in you can do no wrong… ( Am Besten lernt man FRiEDEN mit dem FiSCH als Lehrer , Guten Morgen liebe Klasse , ich bin der Bekehrer ! )

Springtime in Paris

Submitted by Jackie and Tony Pizzini

Springtime in Paris, again and again
The couples are ready, well, into this steady
But when you don’t love me today, hey oh,
You’ll have to love me later anyway, anyway
Love, Love is the one thing, aha, aha, the soul’s treasure

Un croissant pour moi, une petit boulangerie
Donne-moi un café au lait, garçon, ça va, chéri
Donne-moi un croissant amandine
Bonsoir Madame Catherine Deneuve, bonsoir Monsieur Truffaut
Voulez, voulez-vous un Picasso
Ou coucher avec Brigitte Bardot?

Springtime in Paris, again and again
The couples are ready, well, into this steady
But when you show too much devotion
You may drown in the Ocean of Emotion
You’ll have to make your own choice; just listen to your Inner Voice!

Zarah

Ich weiss, es wird einmal ein Wunder gescheh’n
Und dann werden tausend Märchen war.
Ich weiss, so schnell kann keine Liebe vergeh’n,
Die so gross ist und so wunderbar.
Wir haben beide den selben Stern
Und dein Schicksal ist auch meins
Du bist mir fern und doch nicht fern,
Und uns’re Seelen sind eins.

Und, und, und…

Darum wird einmal ein wunder gescheh’n
Und ich weiss, dass wir uns wiederseh’n

I know that one day all my miracles come true
And the Golden Age of Love will come to you

I know that Love is meant forever to be
Love is God and it’s made for me

We both share the same star and your fate is also mine
And you’re far but not very far ’cause our souls are one and divine

When I would have to live without your love
When I have to think nobody cares for me, loves me
That I would have no happy destiny
Would ouch, ouch

[backwards] When I would not know to give my heart
[backwards] And he would say today, “Well baby I love you”
Life would make no sense
Life would make no sense for me
It’s cold but I know more….

New York / N.Y.

Submitted by Anders Sandvei

New York City ist die heisseste Stadt
Wenn man einen neuen Boyfriend und ein Hotelzimmer hat
New York City ist mein Lieblingsplatz
Weil die Leute, die ich da kenne, die sind ein wahrer Schatz
Es ist immer tiefste Nacht, wenn wir durch die Clubs ziehen
Und es kommt mir immer vor, als wäre ich die Nightclub-Queen
Das ist die reinste Wahrheit, und ich schwöre siebenfach:
New York, ich will ein Penthouse haben, direkt unterm Dach

Und nach meiner Schow, da bin ich immer so froh
Und alle gehen wir in die Disco
Bou bou bou bou
Wir gehen in die nächste Disco
Eine Disco nach der anderen Disco
Und wackeln im Takt zu Wackelwabdidab
AM-PM, Pyramid, Roxy, Mudclub, Danceteria –
Der neueste Nightclub macht auf heut’ Nacht
Der neueste Nightclub macht auf heut’ Nacht
Der neueste Nightclub macht auf heut’ Nacht

New York, New York

New York City ist die heisseste Stadt
wenn man einen neuen Boyfriend und ein Hotelzimmer hat
New York City ist ein Ding für sich
Und selbstverfreilich ganz bestimmt ein Ding für mich
New York, ich schenke dir mein Herz
Ich liebe dich gar sehr
Ich könnte nicht mehr ohne dich
Ich lieb dich immer mehr
Genauso liebe ich auch Berlin und Amsterdam und Hollywood
Und Eifersucht, das ist eine Krankheit
Ich liebe alle, alles gut!

Und nach meiner Show, da sind wir immer so froh
Und alle gehen wir in die Disco
Bou bou bou bou
Wir gehen in der nächste Disco
Eine Disco nach der anderen Disco
Und wackelm im Takt zu Wackelwabdidab
AM-PM, Pyramid, Roxy, Mudclub, Danceteria
Der neueste Nightclub macht auf heut’ Nacht
Der neueste Nightclub macht auf heut’ Nacht
Der neueste Nightclub macht auf heut’ Nacht

New York, New York

Und es geht hop, hop, hop, hop
Straight up to the top
Und es geht hop, hop, hop, hop
Straight up to the top
Mensch, lass das Lich rein
David Bowie wird heut’ Nacht hier sein – au fein
Ich kriere Ekstase in meiner Welt
Ich bin doch ein Sternenkind, der reinste Superheld
Und ob es dir gefällt oder nicht gefällt
Geld regiert diese Welt, aber doch nicht jene Welt

Ich bin die Liebe, ich bin das Leben
Ich bin die Mutter, ich bin das Kind

Ich bin die Liebe, ich bin das Leben
Ich bin die Mutter, ich bin das Kind

 

Was Es Ist

Submitted by John Pichardo

mach der mal nichts vor hier auf deinem planeten
deine mauern im gehirn kannst du naemlich wegbeten
du musst den ganzes denken unendlich erweitern
dann kannst du die prinzessen, dir nie lach erheitern
all die farben deiner aura leuchten voller pracht
bald wird jede kleinste sorge einfach weggelacht
dass ist das keinste kinderspiel, das haettest du nicht gedacht

WATT!

mit dieser riesigen kraft mit der man wahre wunder schafft
erstaunt man bald die mege die so unglaeubig gafft
hoert mit beiden ohren zu, ich sprech mit dir, dich mein ich du,
will dir doch die wahrheit sagen, denn ich bin doch Nina Hagen,
musst mal an die ufo’s denke, darfst nicht dein gehirn
werrenken, sollst dein schichksal selber lenken, will dir meine liebe
schenken
du musst naemlich wissen reiche fallen darauf rein, geld ist ueberaupt
nicht deines lebens sonnenschein
jeden sunsch den du dir erfuellst ist haargenau, das was du willst
lass nicht deinen boss den bumann sein
alles was gescher, das handelst du dir selber ein
liebe deine brueder und liebe deine schwestern
die wahrheit ist die gleiche noch wie heute so wei gestern
ich verteile meine liebe aber die die heut noch laestern

was es ist, was es ist, es ist was es ist
was es ist, was es ist, ja was ist denn this
was es ist, was es ist, es ist sonnenklar
was es ist, was ist, es ist einfach wahr

balanciere dein leben mit dem richtigen essen
ich hoffe nur du wirst doch keine tiere fressen
alle fressen fleisch, das zieht dich runter mann
ich bezweifle stark, dass man dann die wahrheit sehen kann
genauso zu viel suff und alle moeglichen tabletten drauf,
alle diese drogen, haben viele schoen belogen
das is ja fuerchterlich, wo ist es denn dein wahres ich
so bitte, bitte, bitte, alle hoert auf meinen rat
sei dir selbst, sauber denken, mach eine gute tat
und spiel doch nicht mit bei diesem grossen verrat

JETZT AUFGEPASST!

sauerkohl, kein misst, deine list bringt dich selber um
versteck dich lieber tief im wald und lauf als rumpelstielzchen rum
deine ganze scheisse mit dem krieg, der haufen schreit sieg, seig
es kommt mir immer vor als waer der friedenskampf eine woke aus deutschem haschischdampf
wir muessen endlich aufhoern mit dem desinteresse und alle menschen brauchen diplomatenpaesse
wir werden uns beraten was wir sagen sollen und was wir langsam aber sicher aendern wollen
am besten lernt man frieden mit dem fisch als lehrer
buten morgen leibe klasse, ich bin der bekehrer!

 

Lorelei

German + English lyrics submitted by Dennis Simcott. Dennis adds this footnote: “Loreley is an old German legend, a poem and also a song.  It’s about a girl who sat on top of a hill by the Rhine (near Cologne).  There she sang the most beautiful songs, which captivated the captains of many boats, to the point where they lost control, crashed, and drowned.  Nina refers to this poem, by using the very first line of the text “Ich weiss nicht was soll es bedeuten”, the rest is pure Hagen.”

Ich weiss nicht was soll es bedeuten
Aber irgendwas stimmt mit den Leuten nicht
Ich glaube daß wir in Sünde leben
Und Gott läßt bald die Erde beben
Scheisse hier scheisse da, es verschissen Jahr für Jahr
Und ich sage euch die Wahrheit
Endlich heute voller Klarheit
Neue Deutsche Welle
Ist neue deutsche Hölle!

Als Fisch bin ich doch sehr sensibel
Und manchmal heul’ ich wie ein Zwiebel Ja!!!
Dann greif ich schnell zur meiner Bibel
Und suche Mut bei Furcht, Schutz bei Gefahr

Nebel hier, Nebel da es vernebelt Jahr für Jahr
Und ich sage euch die Wahrheit
Endlich heute voller Klarheit
Diese Generation ahnt die Wahrheit schon
Rainer Werner Fassbinder, was hast du nur getan
bist dem weissen Pulver, geworden Untertan

Mensch, au Backe, so ‘ne Kacke
Jeder hat ‘ne and’re Macke
und ich sage euch die Wahrheit
Endlich heute voller Klarheit
Wir müssen uns verändern
in allen irdischen Ländern . . .

Ich weiss nicht was soll es bedeuten
Aber irgendwas stimmt mit den Leuten nicht!

 

Lorelei (English)

I don’t know what it’s supposed to mean
But something isn’t right with the people
I believe that we live in sin
And God will shake the earth soon
Shit is here, shit is there, it’s shitty year by year
And I’m telling you the truth
Finally, today, in full clarity
Germany’s New Wave, is Germany’s New Hell

As Pisces I am very sensitive
And sometimes I cry like an onion, yes!
Then I’ll quickly fetch my Bible
And search for courage when fearful; protection from danger

Fog is here, fog is there, it is foggy year by year
And I’m telling you the truth
Finally, today, in full cl
arity
This generation already forebodes the truth
Rainer Werner Fassbinder, what have you done?
You’ve become a slave to the white powder

Man, oh heck, how crap
Everyone is differently mad.
And I’m telling you the truth
Finally, today, in full clarity
We’ve got to change
In all countries of this planet

I don’t know what it’s supposed to mean
But something isn’t right with the people

Ich weiss, es wird einmal ein Wunder gescheh´n

Und dein Schicksal ist auch meins
Du bist mir fern und doch nicht fern,
Und uns’re Seelen sind eins.

Und, und, und, …

Darum wird einmal ein wunder gescheh´n
Und ich weiss, dass wir uns wiederseh´n

Und uns’re Seelen sind eins.

(The Rap)

Wenn ich, wenn ich, wenn ich, wenn ich
ohne Liebe Liebe Liebe leben müsste,
Wenn ich glauben müsste dass mich niemand liebt liebt liebt
dass ist nie, dass ist nie
für mich ein Glück mehr gibt,
Ach wär das schwer

{The BackWards bit – I can’t make head or tails of…}

Ich liebe dich

Ich Weiss es wird einmal ein Wunder geschehe`n

Wenn ich ohne Hoffnung leben müsste, wenn ich glauben müsste, dass mich niemand liebt,
dass es nie für mich ein Glück mehr gibt, ach, das wär schwer…
(the backwards part:)
Wenn ich nicht in meinem Herzen wüsste, das du einmal zu mir sagst: ich liebe dich!
Wär’ das Leben ohne Sinn für mich, doch ich weiss mehr….

(Verse 2 – This Nina doesn’t sing)

Keinem ist mein Herz so gut gewesen, wie dem Einen, der mich jetz verlassen hat,
der für mich nicht einen Gruss mehr hat, der mich vergass….
Könnt’er jetz in meinen Augen lesen, war ich fühle, dann würd’alles anders sein!

The Change

There is no such a thing called death

There is no end for you, there is no end for me

It’s true [yodel], don’t be blue [yodel]
When we lay down receiving life’s crown
Open your eyes right now
Oh please be nice anyhow
It’s gonna be no end for me

You fight with others just because you aren’t all (?)
Accumulating rubbish inside yourself
You have to throw it out, yes you have to throw it out
Human relationships are just so-so today
It’s not too deep and darkness stands in our way
How about the light, I’m finished with the night

There is no end, it always goes on
Take my hand
And then we go the way, decide if you’ll leave or if you’ll stay
Say, what you say? C’mon, hey hey hey

Our religions have to fight with one another
JUST because we have the same father and mother
We shouldn’t think them strange
So we have to do the change, the change

And our children live in danger and in sorrow
Who knows if they’re not radioactive by tomorrow?
We shouldn’t think it strange but we have to do the Change

Yes we have to do the Change
We have to do the Change (4x)
The Change, the Change, the Change

When we don’t wake up now, who knows if we wake up at all!
We’re so important and wish we would not fall
Deep down with Babylon, where’s everybody gone?

It’s true [yodel], don’t be blue [yodel]
When we lay down receiving life’s crown
And then we go the way, decide if you’ll leave or if you’ll stay
Say, what you say? C’mon, hey hey hey

It’s true [yodel], don’t be blue [yodel]

My Sensation

My heart is full of love and affection

Oh yes, I need your sweet inspiration

Yes, I need your sweet inspiration, uh huh

Frühling in Paris

Immer wieder immer wieder
Die Burschen sind bereit
Bereit, endlich schaffen sie zu zweit
Und wenn du mich
Heut’ noch nicht liebst
Eines Tages liebst du mich
Auch wenn du es heute noch verschiebst
Die Liebe, die Liebe ist das einzig Wahre
Aha, aha! Der Schatz des Herzens

Un croissant pour moi
Un petit boulangerie (?)
Donne-moi un café au lait, garçon!
C’est mon chéri
Donne-moi un croissant amandine
Bonsoir Madame Catherine Deneuvre
Bonsoir Monsieur Truffaut
Voulez, voulez-vous un Picasso
Ou coucher avec Brigette Bardot?

Frühling in Paris
Immer wieder immer wieder
Die Pärchen singen “La-la-la”
Die Meisten Liebeslieder
Aber wenn du dich zu sehr verliebst
Dann paß mal schön auf, daß du dir da nichts vergibst
Du hast deine kleine Qual der Wahl
Aber hör’ auf deine innere Stimme
Und geh’ nicht ins Jammertal

Smack Jack

Submitted by Stan Sargent / Eduardo Simies

He just needs a hot shot, you need a hot shot
He just needs a hot shot, you need a hot shot

You are always running out, and you are always running short
Nothing matters anymore
All you want is go and score
No one starts with two a day
But they all seem to end that way

Shoot it up, Smack Jack, shoot it up, Smack Jack
That’s a drag with a monkey on your back, Smack Jack
Shoot it up, Smack Jack, shoot it up, Smack Jack
That’s a drag with a monkey on your back, Smack Jack
That’s a short term solution

He needs a hot shot, etc.

You’ve never could have thought or guessed
That things could get so far out of hand hahahahaha
I’m gonna see you coming down in a cold sweat running
It’s gonna be a different tune that you will soon be humming

Shoot it up, Smack Jack, shoot it up, Smack Jack
That’s a drag with a monkey on your back, Smack Jack
Shoot it up, Smack Jack, shoot it up, Smack Jack
That’s a drag with a monkey on your back, Smack Jack
That’s a short term solution

He just needs a hot shot, you need a hot shot
He just needs a hot shot, you need a hot shot

The devil has got his hooks on you
You are racing his clock
His plastic paradise won’t last
you’ve got a no future and no past
Anyone can see your eyes
‘Scuse me hell is full of lies

Shoot it up, Smack Jack, shoot it up, Smack Jack
That’s a drag with a monkey on your back, Smack Jack
Shoot it up, Smack Jack, shoot it up, Smack Jack
That’s a drag with a monkey on your back, Smack Jack

Please, don’t do it no more, no more, no more …
Junkies are sentimental Junkies are very very sentimental

Smack Ist Dreck, Stop It Oder Verreck!

African Reggae

German lyrics submitted by Anders Sandvei, English translation by Mike Middleton

Es riecht so gut
Pass auf, dass du nicht gescnappt wirst!
Sie sind nämlich hinter dir her,
Du alter Kiffer
Dabei geht Ihre Geschellschaft am Alkoholismus zugrunde,
Aber dich jagen sie – DICH!

Haschisch
Feinstes Kaschmir
Edelster türke afganisches Gras
Ein Plätzchen für mein Schätzchen
Cannabis in Holland
Bob Marley auf der Venus

I wanna go to Africa to the black jah rastaman
To the black culture (Heaven I, I and I, what you mean?)
I will do things like my black friends do it
Do delaomgi…holaotrihi….cucou
Greetings from Germany

Haschisch
Feinstes Kaschmir
Edelster türke afganisches Gras
Ein Plätzchen für mein Schätzchen
Cannabis im Schwarzwald
Bob Marley auf der Venus

Was soll ich denn aber in Africa als Frau, als Frau
Wenn der schwarze Mann die schwarze Frau kastriert
AU AU Castraction

Get up, stand up for the black revolution
For the revolution of the revolution
Get up, stand up!

 

African Reggae (English)

It smells so fine, watch out you don’t get busted.
‘Cause they’re after you, you old kiffer you.
So what if their world is going to pot from alcoholism
It’s you they’re hunting down, YOU.

Hashish, finest kashmir, exquisite Turkish, Afghan grass,
A cookie for my snookie, cannabis in Holland,
Bob Marley on Venus.

I wanna go to Africa, to the blackjah rastaman
To the black culture
I will do tings like my black friends do
I do love it, holladahiti.

Hashish, finest kashmir, exquisite Turkish, Afghan grass,
A cookie for my snookie, cannabis in Holland,
Bob Marley on Venus.

But what business have I got in Africa as a woman, as a woman
When the black man castrates the black woman
Ow-ow, castration

Get up and stand up for the black revolution
For the black revolution.
Get up, stand up!

 

Alptraum

German lyrics submitted by Der Knick-Knack Mann, English translation by Mike Middleton

aber ich, ich, ich, ich, ich,
ich bin ein alptraum
ich komm, ich komm im morgengraun
um dich vernichtend anzuschaun
ich jage dich und du entkommst mir nicht,
ich mach dich nachts zum attentaeter,
zum verraeter,
ich jage dir den schweiss von der glatten stirn
bis tief ins gehirn

na, vermisst du mich,
wenn die knospen platzen?
traeumst du von mir,
wenn ich als hexe ueber die mauer fetze?

na, vermisst du mich,
wenn die sintflut kommt,
soll ich dir denn gar nicht helfen,
wenn dich keiner,
aber auch keiner in die arche hievt?

hab doch keine angst,
es war doch alles nur ein traum
(traeume sind schaeume)
bei hellem klaren tageslicht
hat das doch alles kein gewicht
(traeume sind schaeume)
nur in der tiefen schwarzen nacht,
da wirst du von der angst gepackt

aber ich, ich, ich, ich, ich,
ich bin dein alptraum
ich mach dich nachts zum zitteraal
vibrierend in der hoellenqual
ich spiess dein’ kopf auf eine latte
und dann frisst ihn ne fette ratte
und als dicker fetter clown
komm ich dir auf die fresse haun

ich toete dich eintaustendmal
ich toete dich dreitausendmal
ich toete dich sechstausendmal
ich toete dich neuntausendmal
ich toete dich zehntausendmal
ich toete dich millionenfach
ich toete dich billionenfach
ich toete dich trillionenfach

ich jage dich und du entkommst mir nicht
ich mach dich nachts zum attentaeter,
zum verraeter,
ich jage dir den schweiss von der glatten stirn
bis tief ins gehirn

 

Nightmare

But I, I, I, I, I
I am your nightmare
I come, I come at the break of dawn to give you a withering look
I’m after you and you won’t escape me,
by night I turn you into an assassin, a traitor
I drive the sweat from your smooth brow deep down into your brain.

Hey, do you miss me
when the buds are bursting?
Do you dream of me
when I blast witchlike over the wall?

Hey, do you miss me when the deluge comes,
When everything is finished?
Shouldn’t I help you out at all when nobody,
But nobody hoists you into the ark?

Don’t be scared, it was all only a dream
(dreams are mere shadows)
By the clear bright light of day, none of this makes any difference
(dreams are mere shadows)
Only in the deep black of night are you seized by fright.

But I, I, I, I, I
I am your nightmare
By night I turn you into a quaking eel quivering in the torments of hell
I impale your head on a pole whereon it’s nibbled by a fat rat
And in the shape of a fig fat clown
I come and give you one right on the chops.

I kill you a thousand times
I kill you three thousand times
I kill you six thousand times
I kill you nine thousand times
I kill you ten thousand times
I kill you a million-fold
I kill you a billion-fold
I kill you a trillion-fold.

I’m after you and you won’t escape me,
by night I turn you into a assassin, a traitor.
I drive the sweat from your smooth brow deep down into your brain.

 

Wir Leben Immer…Noch

German lyrics submitted by Der Knick-Knack Mann, English translation by Karl Auer

“Wir Leben Immer…Noch”
wir wandern bloss und nackt in die unendlichkeit
wir schweben auf dem pfade in die ewigkeit
wir glauben was wir wissen und wir fuerchten uns
wohl weil wir sterben muessen dad beaengstigt uns
wir sind die lebenden
nach leben strebenden

jeder neue tag kann gut und boese sein
wir stellen unsre vibrationen selber ein
und wenn wir morgens frueh an unser ende denken
dann kann uns dieses wissen durch die tagzeit lenken
und uns das sterben goennen

wir vegetieren und wir rasen durch die lebenszeit
wir verblassen und verpassen die gelegenheit
wir haben keine zeit, wir tun uns selber leid
wir vegetieren und wir rasen durch die lebenszeit

wir verstecken undre aengste in der zwischenzeit
wir zittern immer noch vor der vergangenheit
wir entwickeln uns nicht weiger, weil erwachsensein
so wollen wir nicht sein
oh nein das muss nicht sein

 

We’re Still Alive

we wander pale and naked to infinity
we float along our paths into eternity
believing what we know and filled with awful fear
‘cos we know we have to die and it will cost us dear
we’re the surviving ones
the living, striving ones

every waking day could be both good and bad
we make it what we want, we can be glad or sad
and when we wake and think upon the coming end
the thought can lead us through the day or round the bend
‘cos we can take a breath
or treat ourselves to death

we vegetate or race through this life’s stately dance
we fade away and give away our one big chance
we have no time for this, we mourn the things we miss
we vegetate and race through this life’s stately dance

we hide away our fears as all our years go by
we tremble as we think upon the times gone by
we don’t go any further ‘cos to be grown up
means drinking from society’s conformist cup
and that’s not right you see,
not what we want to be

 

Wenn Ich Ein Junge Wär

German lyrics submitted by Der Knick-Knack Mann, English translation by Mike Middleton

Wenn ich ein junge waer
das ware wunderschoen
dann koennt ich jeden tag
in langen hosen gehn
und kaem ich abends spaet nach haus
macht mir kein schwanz ein drama daraus
das waere halb so schwer
wenn ich ein junge waer

nur wenn tino, tino, tino mich kuesst
und wenn tino, tino lieb zu mir ist
faellt bei tino, tino, tino mir ein
eine kleine piccolina, bambina, si-sina signorina zu sein
ist wunderbar

wenn ich ein junge waer
mit einem motorrad
dann waere ich bekannt
bald in der ganzen stadt
ich trau mir zu im fussballverein
ein guter mittelstuermer zu sein
so waer es ungefaehr
wenn ich ein junge waer

wenn ich ein junge waer
dann wuesste ich so gut
was so ein junger boy
aus lauter liebe tut
ich wuerde in die schwulen-scene gehn
und sexy boys den kopf verdrehn
ich haett genug verkehr
wenn ich ein junge waer

 

If I Was A Boy

If I was a boy
Boy wouldn’t it be super
Then I could walk around
In long pants every day
And come home late at night
No swinging dick would make
A federal case out of it
Things wouldn’t be half as tough
If I was a boy.

Only when Tino, Tino, Tino kisses me
And when Tino, Tino is sweet to me
With Tino, Tino, Tino I figure
It’s great to be a little piccolina, bambina, si-sina signorina.

It I was a boy
With a motorcycle
I’d soon be known
All over town
I figure I’d make
A pretty good center forward
Down at the soccer club
That’s about how I’d be I guess
If I was a boy.

If I was a boy
I’d know oh so well
Just what a boy does for love
I’d get into the gay scene
I’d shake up all those sexy studs
I’d have action enough
If I was a boy.

 

Herrmann Hiess Er

German lyrics submitted by Der Knick-Knack Mann, English translation by Mike Middleton

herrmann scheisst aufs leben,
er fragt sich:
was kann mir das leben schon geben
er liest carlos castagneda
der lebt leicht wie eine feder

das wahre leben, wo die geister schweben
ist fuer herrmann lebenswert,
was andres ist fuer ihn verkehrt

herrmann spritzt mixturen
er sagt sich:
so kommt jeder hirnie auf touren
er fuehlt sich weise und erleuchtet,
wenn er zaertlich seine zunge
mit speed befeuchtet

das wahre leben, wo die geister schweben
hat fuer herrmann seinen sinn,
was andres haut fuer ihn nicht hin

abgehoben, abgefahrn
weggetreten, abgetreten,
darauf sein, high sein
abgehoben, abgefahrn
herrmann, wo bist du?
weggetreten, abgetreten
herrmann, wo bist du?
herrmann ist high

herrmann frisst mango und haselhuhn,
er sagt sich:
besser als schon jetzt den letzten seufzer tun
er liebt die positiven vibrationen,
die seine soften nerven schonen

das wahre leben, kann er nicht einfach so erleben
er braucht die spritzen und die pillen,
um sich das blut damit zu fuellen

herrmann kriegt leuchtende eier
er sagt sich:
scheisse, auch das noch, au weis
mit negativen vibrationen
konnte sich herrmann bisher verschonen

da! die wand kippt um und die decke
kommt runter und der teppich wird immer tiefer
und die woerter und ihre bedeutung, mamma, pappa!
machen sie bitte sofort auf
hier ist die Polizei!

Der wahnsinn is eine reise zur hoelle
das gehirn erkrankt und schwankt
in immer neue dimensionen, da,
wo die boesen maechte wohnen

Herrmann ist hinüber..

 

Herman Was His Name

Herrmann doesn’t give a shit about life
He asks himself: What’s life got to show me
He reads Carlos Castagneda
Who lives light as a feather.

Real life, where the spirits dwell
Is worth living for Herrmann
Anything else makes no sense to him.

Herrmann shoots up
He says to himself: That’s what gets the little brainy tripping
He feels he’s wise and inspired
When he gently wets his tongue with speed.

Real life, where the spirits dwell
Makes sense for Herrmann
Anything else just doesn’t hack it, spaced out, dropped out

Switched off, flipped out with it, flying high
Spaced out, dropped out
Herrmann where are you?
Switched off, flipped out
Herrmann, where are you? Herrmann is high.

Herrmann wolfs down mango and hazel grouse
he says to himself: Better this than breathing that last breath now
He loves those good vibes that spare his tender nerves.

Real life he can’t just live like that
He needs the needles and the pills
To fill his veins with vital thrills.
Herrmann’s balls turn blue

He says to himself: Shit, that’s all I needed, ow-owwww
vibes all this bad
Herrmann’s never had.

Look! The wall is tipping and the ceiling
is coming down and the carpet’s getting deeper and deeper
and the words and their meaning, mama, papa!
Open up, open up right now
This is the police!

Madness is a trip to hell
The brain’s diseased and wavers
In ever new dimensions there where the evil forces dwell.

 

Auf’m Rummel

German lyrics submitted by Der Knick-Knack Mann, English translation by Mike Middleton

wir standen auf’m rummel in treptow
tranken auf die schnelle mal ‘n kuehles bier
eigentlich wollt ich laengst nach hause
da sagte einer, ich bin ‘n kavalier
leute, ich gebe ‘n korn als

und wir tranken das bier und den korn aus
fuhren noch mal schnell mit der gespensterbahn
eigentlich wollt ich laengst nach hause
da sagte einer: die minelli is hier
hey lasst uns sehn ob es wahr ist

aber nichts hat gestimmt, denn da stand nur
nina hagen, da is nix dabei
eigentilich wollt ich laengst nach hause
da sagte einer: vorne spielt ‘ne band
hey lasst und sehn und mal gehn

geh ick nu oder blieb ick nu
irgendwie muss man was tun
geh ick nu oder blieb ick nu
oder wer weess wat
what i can do

die band brachte grad nen jethro tull hit
die spielten so mies, mann, da stimmte kein ton
eigentlich wollt ich laengst nach hause
da sagte einer: ich gebe
bei mir im garten eine fete

und wir fuhren mit der s-bahn nach dahlem
wir sassen dann rum und wir hoerten musik
eigentlich wollt ich laengst nach hauses
da sangte einer: hier is nix los, eij,
hief is absolut nix los

 

Down at the Carnival

We’re standing around the carnival in Treptow
Drinking a quick cool beer
Lemme buy you all a shot of Schnapps.

And we finish off the beer and the Schnapps
Take one more fast ride in the chamber of horrors.
Actually I wanted to head home long ago
When somebody says: Minelli’s here
Hey, let’s see if it’s for real.

But it was all a bum steer,
Only Nina Hagen, nothin’ happenin’
Actually I wanted to head home long ago
When somebody says: a band’s playing up front,
Hey, let’s go over and give a listen.

Like I should go, or should I stay
I mean, you gotta do somethin’
Should I go, or should I stay
Or who kno
ws what
What I can do.

The band was just doing a Jethro Tull hit
They played so rotten, man, not one sound was right
Actually I wanted to head home long ago
When somebody says, c’mon over to my place,
I’m throwing a garden fete.

And we take the s-bahn out to Dahlem,
Sit around listening to music.
Actually I wanted to head home long ago
When somebody says: ain’t nothin’ happenin’ here, nah,
Ain’t absolutely nothin’ happenin’ here.

TV Gawker

Alone!
The world has forgotten me.
I hang around [like a couch potato].
Everybody is pissed off at me.
I am sitting at home!
Don’t feel like doing anything.
I feel old.
I’m the same as my granny!

I turn on the [TV] tube.
The Daltons, Waltons, everybody.
I gawk from East to West [channels] 2, 5, 4.
I can’t make up my mind,
Everything is so beautifully colorful here!
I gawk at the TV.
I gawk at the TV, wow!

I am burnt out. Was that already my life?
My beautiful fantasy!
My [switchboard] relays are gone. [i.e., ‘My brain is fried.”

I turn on the [TV] tube.
The Binders, Winders on channel 3.
I gawk from East to West [channels] 2, 5, 4.

Everything is so beautifully colorful here!
I gawk at the TV.
I gawk at the TV, yeah!

I’m going nuts! Well, I won’t touch another book
— it’s upsetting to my stomach! Literature? Puke, puke …
And the doctor novels I have already read,
Finished when I was twelve!
Man, I am a literature buff!
And the refreshment wafers [poured out????],
Gag, gag, puke.
And this shitty chocolate makes me fatter,
And fatter and fatter, and ugh!

I turn on the [TV] tube.

Go To It

Submitted by Aspirinas Bayer

I was down at the disco, I saw him straitaway.
How he slunk around – all alone
OK, OK, the guy was quite cute
I wanted to get near him, I wanted him to see me

Go to it, go to it
Closer, closer
Closer and closer
Go to it
1 2 3 go! Go, go to it

My knees turned to jelly, my head was hot as him
How he stared at me!
OK, OK, something’s got to happen
The music makes it happen

Go to it, go to it
(when you’re horny go to it)
Go, go
(Then it’a all ok, it’s all ok – yeah, yeah)
Go, go
(when you’re horny go to it)
Go, go
(Then it’s all ok, it’a all OK)

I pounced at him
He pounced at me
We touched – Amazing!
I said SORRY, and HI, I’M ROSI
He said ROSI, I LIKE YOU ROSI!

Go to it, go to it, closer and closer
go to it, 1 2 3, go!
Go!
Go to it? Go to It!
(When you’re horny go to it)
Go, go!
Then it’s all OK…………

 

Unbeschreiblich Weiblich

Submitted by Anders Sandvei

Ich war schwanger, mir ging’s zum Kotzen
Ich wollt’s nicht haben, brauchste gar nicht erst zu fragen!
Ich fress’ Tabletten und überhaupt Mann!
Ich schaff’ mir keine kleinen Kinder an.

Warum soll ich meine Pflicht als Frau erfüllen?
Für wen? Für die? Für dich? Für mich?
Ich hab’ keine Lust meine Pflicht zu erfüllen!
Für dich nicht, für mich nicht,
Ich hab’ keine Pflicht!

Als es vorbei war, ging’s mir zum Kotzen
Jetzt ist es Zeit endlich mal aufzumotzen.
Ich fress’ Tabletten und überhaupt Mann!
Ich schaff’ mir keine kleinen Kinder an!

Warum soll ich meine Pflicht als Frau erfüllen?
Für wen? Für die? Für dich? Für mich?
Ich hab’ keine Lust meine Pflicht zu erfüllen!
Für dich nicht, für mich nicht,
Ich hab’ keine Pflicht!

Marlene hatte andere Pläne
Simone B
eauvoir sagt: “Gott bewahr!”
Und vor dem ersten Kinderschreien
Muss ich mich erstmal selbst befreien
Und augenblicklich fühl’ ich mich
Unbeschreiblich weiblich – WEIBLICH!

 

Indescribably Feminine

Submitted by Aspirinas Bayer

I got pregnant, I felt like pukin’
I didn’t want to have it, you better believe it!
I pop pills and, anyway, man,
I’m not about to get me a kid

Chorus:
Why should I do my duty as a woman?
For whom? For them? For you? For me?
I got no mind to do my duty as a woman!
Not for you, not for me; I ain’t got no duty!

When it was over, I felt like pukin’
Now’s the time to finally get it on,
I pop pills and, anyway, man,
I’m not about to get me no kid

Chorus:
Why should I do my duty as a woman?
For whom? For them? For you? For me?
I got no mind to do my duty as a woman!
Not for you, not for me; I ain’t got no duty!

MARLENE WASN’T MAKING THAT SCENE.
SIMONE BEAUVOIR SAID “AU REVOIR”.
AND BEFORE THE FIRST BABY’S SCREAM,
I FIRST GOTTA SET ME FREE.
AND RIGHT NOW I FEEL ALL WOMAN. WOMAN!

 

Auf’m Bahnhof Zoo

Submitted by Anders Sandvei

Auf dem Bahnhof Zoo im Damenkloo
(Ich muss hungrig sein!)
Süsses Kind!
Dein braunes Haar ist wunderbar
Dein Straps am Strumpf ist Wahnsinn!
OH!
Süsses Kind, sag geschwind
Wer bist denn du???

Deine spitzen Lederschuhe!
Deine zerfetzten Rubberstockings!
Dein Minirock aus Einkaufsnetz!
Dein Schlüpper mit der Quenn von London drauf!
Silver-Jubilee! Hi, hi !?

Auf dem Bahnhof Zoo im Damenkloo
(Ich muss hungrig sein!)
Süsses Kind!
Dein Widerstand hat Fuss und Hand!
Dein Hackenschuh ist scharf wie du!
Süsses Kind sag geschwind
Wer bist denn du???

Dein nein-rosaner Nagellack stach in meinen Kopf
Wie eine Hornisse!
Deine Filzhaare waren gespickt mit Reiskrispies
Dein Lied!
Deine Worte!
WAU!
Rock’n’roll-Operette!
Rock’n’roll-Operette!
Rock’n’roll-Operette!

Auf dem Bahnhof Zoo im Damenkloo ist es geschehen
Es war sooo schön!
Dein Straps zerriss
Ich hob ihn auf
Ich küsste dich
Du küsstest mich
Wir küssten uns!!!
P.S. Ob blond, ob schwarz, ob braun?!
Ich liebe alle Frauen!

 

At the Train Station Zoo

At the Bahnhof Zoo in the ladies’ loo!
(I must be hungry)

Your brown hair is really alright
That garter belt is outta sight!
OH!
Sweet kid, tell me quick!
Whatsyername?
Sweet kid, tell me quick!
Whatsyername?

Your pointed leather shoes!
Your tattered rubber stockings!
Your mini skirt of shopping-net!
Your knickers with the Queen Of London on it!
Silver Jubilee! Hee-hee!

At the Bahnhof Zoo in the ladies’loo!
(I must be hungry)
(Sweet Kid)
You’re fighting back with tooth and nail
Your stiletto shoes as horny as you!
Sweet kid, tell me quick!
Whatsyername?
Sweet kid, tell me quick!

Your dayglo pink nail varnish stuck in my brain like a honet’s sting!
Your frizzy hair was spangled with Rice Krispies.
Your song!
Your words!
WOW!
Rock’n’roll operetta
Rock’n’roll operetta!
Rock’n’roll operetta!!!

At the Bahnhof Zoo in the ladies’loo… it happened
It was sooooooo good
Your garter belt snapped,
I picked it up.
I kissed you/You kissed me
We kissed!!!

P.S. – Whether blonde, black, or brunette…I love all women.

 

Naturträne

Submitted by Anders Sandvei

Offnes Fenster präsentiert
Spatzenwolken himmelflattern
Wind bläst, meine Nase friert
Und paar Auspuffrohre knattern

Ach, da geht die Sonne unter:
Rot, mit Gold, so muss das sein.
Seh ich auf die strasse runter,
Fällt mir ein Bekannter ein

Prompt wird mir’s jetzt schwer ums Herz
Ich brauch’ nur Vögel flattern sehen
Und fliegt main Blick dann himmelwärts,
Tut auch die Seele weh, wie schön!

Natur am Abend, stille Stadt
Verknackste Seele, Tränen rennen
Das alles macht einen mächtig matt
Und ich tu’ einfach weiterflennen..
Aaaahhhh….

 

Teardrop

Submitted by Aspirinas Bayer

Through the open window I can see
The tiny clouds hovering in the sky
The wind is blowing, my nose is freezing
… a few exhaust pipes are spluttering.

Ah, the sun is going down
Red and gold, as it should be
I look down to the street below
And see a friend standing there

Suddenly my heart feels heavy
I just need to see birds fluttering
And my eyes turn up to the sky
How it jurts my soul – how beautiful!

Nature in the evening, a peaceful town
Tormented soul, the tears flow
It all makes me feel so feeble
And makes the tears flow even more
Aaah….!!

 

Superboy

Ich kenn’ einen Jungen.
Der hat paar Augen, dass du träumst davon.
Der sagt nichts, der sieht dich bloss an
Und ganz langsam drehen sich deine Augen links ein
Und du schielst schon!

Ich kenn’ einen Jungen,
Der schnappt sich einfach deine heisse Hand.
Du sagst nichts, du siehst ihn bloss an.
Und während du vot Glück stöhnst
Frisst er dir den Kühlschrank leer
Und du schielst schon!

Das ist ein (hoi hoi) Superboy
Der macht dich (hoi hoi hoi) glücklich
Der ist ein Hypnosisator!
Der schlaucht dich aus

Ich kenn einen Jungen.
Der hat eine Nase, dass du träumst davon
Der sagt nichts, sein Kopf ist voll Stroh
A-HU!
Seine KLamotten sind aus’m Snob-Shop aus Ohio

Das ist ein (hoi hoi) Superboy
Der macht dich (hoi hoi hoi) glücklich
Der ist ein Hypnosisator!
Der schlaucht dich aus

Einen Moment lang frisst du aus seiner herrlich-männlichen Hand
Du frisst alles!
Wenn er schon mal was sagt, dann frisst du das auch!
Sonst wirste’n ALLESFRESSER – ALLESFRESSER – ALLESFRESSER

 

Superboy (English)

Submitted by Aspirinas Bayer

I know a boy,
He’s got eyes you’ll never forget.
He doesn’t say much, he just stares at you
And slowly, both your eyes start rolling…..
… you go cross-eyed

I know a boy
He grabs your hot little hand
You don’t say much, you just stare at him
And while you’re panting with happiness
he eats you out of house and home
… you go cross-eyed

Chorus:
He is a ….
(hey, hey)
Superboy
He makes you…
(hey-hey-hey)
Happy!
He’s a hypnotiser-tiser!
He sucks you dry.

I know a boy
He’s got a nose you’ll never forget
He says nothing, his head is full of nothing
A-ha!
His gear is from the Snob Shop in Ohio

He is a ….

Superboy
He makes you…
(hey-hey-hey)
Happy!
He’s a hypnotiser-tiser!
He sucks you dry.

For just a moment<
br />You’re eating out of his hand, his fantastically masculine hand
(You’ll fall for anything)
If he says anything else, you’ll fall for that too!
Watch out, man, or you’ll be a real sucker

 

Heiss

Submitted by Anders Sandvei

Mir ist heiss!
Ich bin heiss!
Ach, warum sind denn nicht alle so heiss?
Ja, ist es denn ein Wunder?

Ich war zu Hause unter meiner kalten Brause
Und da kam Herr Wichsmann unter meinen Wasserhahn
ACH, WAR DAS TOLL!
Ihm troppte ab der Schweiss, er sagte:
Mir ist heiss!
Ich bin heiss!
Ach, warum sind denn nicht alle so heiss?
Ja, ist es denn ein Wunder?

Dann kam mein Boyfriend unter unsere kalte Brause
“Tag, Herr Wichsmann! Wie man weiss ist es heiss
Ich brauche Wasser, denn ich schwitze auf der Ritze”
Er sagte:

Mir ist heiss!
Ich bin heiss!
Ach, warum sind denn nicht alle so heiss?
Ja, ist es denn ein Wunder?

Dann lagen wir auf der Veranda übereinander
Und die Sonne brannte unsere heissen Köpfe durcheinander
Da hob ich ab, da flog ich los, ich sagte:

Mir ist heiss!
Ich bin heiss!
Ach, warum sind denn nicht alle so heiss?
Ja, ist es denn ein Wunder?

 

Hot

(“Heiss” can also mean “horny” in German)
Submitted by Aspirinas Bayer

I feel hot, I am hot… Ah!
Why isn’t everybody so hot?
Well – is it surprising?

I was at home under a cold shower
When under the tap appeared Mr.Wichsmann!
Wow – it was crazy
The sweat was dripping off him and he said:
I feel hot, I am hot… Ah!
Why isn’t everybody so hot?
Well – is it surprising?

Then my boyfrien joined us in our cold shower
“Hi, Mr. Wichsmann – God, it’s hot!
I need water – ‘cos I’m sweating all over”
He said:
I feel hot, I am hot… Ah!
Why isn’t everybody so hot?
Well – is it surprising?

Then we all lay around in my veranda
Our hot little bodies melting together in the sun
‘Til I took off, I flew away, I said:
I feel hot, I am hot… Ah!
Why isn’t everybody so hot?
Well – is it surprising?

 

Fisch Im Wasser

Submitted by Anders Sandvei

Sie will ein Fisch im Wasser sein
Im flaschengrünen, tiefen See.
Sie will mit Wasser sich besaufen
Und paar Blasen blubbern lassen
Was sie dann will,
Sas ist mit Neptun schweigen
Und in Ruhe tun, was sie sonst nie tut,
Was sie sonst nicht kann und soll.

 

Fish In Water

Submitted by Aspirinas Bayer

She wants to be a fish in water
in the deep bottle-green lake
She wants to get drunk on water
and blow a bubble or two
She wants to lie quietly with Neptune
and do what she otherwise would not,
could not or should not do in peace

 

Auf’m Friedhof

Submitted by Anders Sandvei

Kleiner Wampie!
Auf unserem Friedhof liegen wir zwei in der Stille
In der Still da gibt’s kein Fromms und keine Pille.
Und wir beissen in weisse Häøse bis sie bluten, bis sie bluten
Und wir saufen die Kandidaten über den Haufen, über den Haufen.

Blut Blut Blut
Blut tut gut

Tod Tod Tod (ich will nicht sterben!)
Tod tut Not

Peace peace peace
Peace im Verliess

Jesus!?
Hier ist Nina!

Kleiner Wampie!
Auf unserem Friedhof sind wir happy, sind wit happy
Mein Gerippe ist ja so sexy wenn ich strippe, mein Gerippe.

Der Teufel kommt, er hilft uns auf, und sagt uns:

Gott ist tot!
The Lord ist fort
Gott ist tot!
The Lord ist fort
Jawoll!
Gott ist tot

(Also nicht ICH, sondern der Teufel meint, dass Gott tot ist)
(P.S. Also nicht ICH, sondern der TEUFEL SAGT, DASS Gott tot ist!)

 

At The Cemetery

Submitted by Aspirinas Bayer

Little Vampire!
The two of us lie in the cemetery quite still
In the quiet there’s no religion, and no pill
And we bite into white throats ’til they’re dry

Blood blood blood
Blood is good

Death death death (I don’t want to die)
Death must come

Peace peace peace
peace in our tomb
Jesus?!
Here is Nina!

Little vampire
We’re happy in our cemetery, we’re happy
My skeleton’s so sexy when I strip, what a sekeleton!

The devil comes, he helps us and tells us:

God is dead
The Lord is gone
God is dead
The Lord is gone
Oh yeah

GOD IS DEAD

(It’s not I, but the Devil, who thinks God is dead)
(P.S. It’s not I, but the Devil who SAYS God is dead!)

 

Der Spinner

Submitted by Anders Sandvei

Ich lauf’ den Bahnsteig lang und weiss nicht,
Ob ich hier wegfahr’ oder was?
Da kommt ein Schnellzug und fährt weiter.
Eine Bulle von der Bahn taucht auf.
Ich halt’ den Brief in meiner Hand fest,
Da steht: Du fühlst dich tot wie Stein!

Hä!
Und dass du dur jetzt einen Wald suchst,
Um die im Moos ein Bett zu bauen.
Dein Riesebsaxofon ist auch da un flöten
Hä, flöten sollen auf der Wiese wachsen
Die alte Frau bezahlt mit Kleingeld
Wir warten auf den nächsten Zug

Ich frag’ die Alte wo der Wald ist
Sie sagt, mein Udo ist schon lange tot
In meiner Tasche klebten Bonbon
Wir steigen ein in unseren Zug
Bei Wertheim gab es Salamander
Ich bring’ dir einen mit ins Moos.
Als ich in Hamburg aus dem Zug steig
Lauf ich durch Strassen bis zur Elbe hin.
DOWN TO THE RIVER!

Ej!
Da seh’ ich dich am Ufer stehen!
Ich fass’ dich an und so, du hörst nichts.
Du sagst, du musst zum andern Ufer
Die Fähre fährt am nächsten Tag.
Ich dachte, dass du tief im Wald wohnst.
ICH WUSSTE NICHTS VON DEINEN UFERN!

 

The Lunatic

Submitted by Aspirinas Bayer

I run along the platform, don’t know where I go.
An express zooms by.
A train charges like a bull.
I clutch the letter in my hand – it says:
You feel as dead as stone.

Ha! And you’re looking for a wood
To build a bed in the moss.
Your baritone sax is there too.
And pipes
Pipes should grow in fields
The old woman pays in small change
We’re waiting for the next train

I ask the old woman about the wood
She says: My Udo died long ago
Sweets were melting, sticky in my handbag.
We climb aboard our train
At Wertheim’s there’s a salamander
I’ll bring one with me in the moss
When I get out of the train in Hamburg
I run through the streets down to the Elbe.

Aaaaaah!
I see you standing on the bank
I grab you and you don’t hear a thing
You say: go to the other bank
The ferry goes tomorrow
I thought you lived deep in the forest
I knew nothing of your banks…..?

 

Pank

Submitted by Anders Sandvei

Unterdruecken, das kannst du mich nicht
auch wenn du es immer die ganze Zeit versuchst
Du weisst, das ich glaub, du bist nicht ganz dicht
mir is das jetzt zu viel und ich hab genug

Du willst mich so wi
e alle sind
Nein Nein du altes Schwein
Du merkst nicht, das ich anders bin
Hau ab, you fool of crub (the lyric sheet says this, I Swear!!)

Das lass ich mir nich laenger gefalln
die Maedchen sind die sexie sadies
sie sind die Mutter fuer den Staub
und Katzen haben scharfe Krallen

Ich wasch nich deine Kaesesocken
Hosen. T-shirts.
Fass mich nich an
Verzicht auf deine Pocken. Locken. Gonokokken.

Ich schenk dir keine Kinder zum Zeitvertreib
Leg mir lieber Puder Kamm und Lippenstift bereit
Dann geh ich mit Frau Holle aufn Strich
Kurzgesagt: du bist mir einfach widerlich

Ich bin nicht deine Fickmaschine
spritz spritz das isn Witz aeh
Schaetzchen, wir muessen ausnanda gehn
Tschau Tschau du alte Sau!!!

 

Pank (English)

Submitted by Aspirinas Bayer

You can’t put me down
However hard you try!
You know I think you’re not that thick!
That’s too much to handle, I’ve had enough!

You want me to be like all the others
NO, NO, YOU OLD PIG
You can’t see I’m not the same
PISS OFF, YOU FOOLS OF CRUB (?)

I won’t have it any longer:
Girls are just sexy sadies
They are mothers to the scum
And cats have got sharp claws

I won’t wash your cheesy socks
TROUSERS, T-SHIRTS,
Don’t touch me
Give up on your pox, looks and Gonococcs…….

I won’t give you any kids, for your amusement
Better give me power comb and lipstick
Then I’ll walk with Frau Holle on the streets
In a word: You make me puke

I am not your screwing machine
Jab, jab – that’s a laugh!
Sweetie, I’ve gotta get out
Ciao Ciao you old cow!
