Lyrics Popyrics

[KlausK]

Melody day what have I done
Now our hearts are locked up tight again
And when I pray it's all begun
Then your smile it melts away again

Melody day where have you gone
And the hope I had is dying
And what we had has come undone
Then your smile it melts away again

Melody day what have I done
Now our hearts are locked up tight again
And when I pray it's all begun
Then your smile it melts away again

Tell them
Tell them I always knew why
So long
So I would like to say goodbye

[juls]

I took this walk to ease my mind
To find out what's gnawing at me
Wouldn't think to look at me,
that I've spent a lot of time in education
It all seems so long ago
I'm a thinker, not a talker
I've no-one to talk to, anyway

I can't see the road
for the rain in my eyes

I live above the grocers store,
owned by an Austrian
He often calls me down to eat
And he jokes about his broken English,
tries to be a friend to me
But for all my years of reading conversation,
I stand without a word to say

I can't see the bridge
for the rain in my eyes

And the world is full of life
Full of folk who don't know me
And they walk in twos or threes or more
While the light that shines above the grocer's store
Investigates my face so rudely
And my essays lying scattered on the floor
Fulfill their needs just by being there
And my hands shake, my head hurts,
my voice sticks inside my throat
I'm invisible and dumb,
And no-one will recall me

And I can't see the water
for the tears in my eyes

(aka ziggy sternenstaub)

[KlausK]

In the deepest ocean
The bottom of the sea
Your eyes
They turn me
Why should I stay here?
Why should I stay?

I'd be crazy not to follow
Follow where you lead
Your eyes
They turn me

Turn me on to phantoms
I follow to the edge of the earth
And fall off
Everybody leaves
If they get the chance

And this is my chance

I get eaten by the worms
Weird fishes
Picked over by the worms
Weird fishes
Weird fishes
Weird fishes

I'll hit the bottom
Hit the bottom and escape
Escape

I'll hit the bottom
Hit the bottom and escape
Escape

[KlausK]

Late Night, Maudlin Street

The last night on Maudlin Street
goodbye house goodbye stairs
I was born here
I was raised here,
and ...I took some stick here
love at first sight may sound trite
but it's true, you know
I could list the details
of everything you ever wore or said,
or how you stood that day
and as we spend the last night on Maudlin Street,
I say "goodbye house-forever!"
I never stole a happy hour around here
Where the world's ugliest boy became
what you see here I am - the ugliest man
Its the last night on Maudlin Street
and truly I do love you oh, truly I do love you
When I sleep with that picture of you framed beside my bed
oh, it's childish and it's silly
but I think it's you in my room by the bed (...yes, I told you it was silly...) and I know I took strange pills
but I never meant to hurt you
oh truly I love you
I came home late one night
everyone had gone to bed
nobody stays up for you
when you have sixteen stitches all around your head
the last buss I missed to Maudlin Street
so, he drove me home in the Van complaining:
"Women only like me for my mind..."
don't leave your torch behind power-cuts
ahead as we crept through the park
but no I cannot steal a pair of jeans off a clothesline for you
but you...without clothes
oh I could not keep a straight face me - without clothes?
well a nation turns its back and gags...
I'm packed
I am moving house
a half-life disappears today
every slag waves me on (secretly wishing me gone well, I will be soon oh - I will be soon)
There were bad times on Maudlin Street
when they took you away in a police car
dear Inspector - don't you know? d
on't you care? don't you know - about Love?
Your gran died and your mother died
on Maudlin Street in pain and ashamed
with never time to say those special things
I took the keys from Maudlin Street
well, it's only bricks and mortar! and...
truly I do love you
wherever you are
wherever you are

I know a girl she walks the asphalt world
She comes to me and I supply her with ecstasy
Sometimes we ride in a taxi to the ends of the city
Like big stars in the back seat like skeletons ever so pretty
I know a girl she walks the asphalt world

But where does she go?
And what does she do?
And how does she feel when shes next to you?
And who does she love in time-honored fur?
Is it me or her?

I know a girl she walks the asphalt world
Shes got a friend, they share mascara I pretend
Sometimes they fly from the covers to the winter of the river
For these silent stars of the cinema
Its in the blood stream, its in the liver
I know a girl, she walks the asphalt felt world

But where does she go?
And what does she do?
And how does she feel when shes next to you?
And who does she love in time-honored fur?
Is it me or her?

With ice in her blood
And a dove in her head
Well how does she feel when shes in your bed?
When youre there in her arms
And there in her legs
Well Ill be in her head

Cuz thats where I go
And thats what I do
And thats how it feels when the sex turns cruel
Yes both of us need her, this is the asphalt world

Disteln pieken feste
und oft auch noch gemein.

Dicke Pickel hingegen
haben oft noch Folgen
über die Pubertät hinaus.

Oft wird man auch in den 30ern noch
als Aknebär oder so verspottet.
Das ist peinlich.

Nur Schweinebraten auf's Gesicht
hat mir wirklich nachhaltig geholfen.

Seitdem ist mein Leben wieder sinnvoll und lebenswert.
Mein Selbstvertrauen wurde bestärkt
und ich bin wieder Hahn im Korb
bei den schönsten und interessantesten Mädchen. Toll.

Als echter aknefreier Superaufreißer
mit Spezialisierung auf Teenies
bin ich Schweinebraten auf's Gesicht wirklich zu Dank verpflichtet.

Chor: "Schweinebraten auf's Gesicht" (repeat)

People on the platforms
Waiting for the trains
I can hear their hearts a-beatin'
Like pendulums swinging on chains

und

Shadows are falling and I've been here all day
It's too hot to sleep time is running away
Feel like my soul has turned into steel
I've still got the scars that the sun didn't heal
There's not even room enough to be anywhere
It's not dark yet, but it's getting there

[KlausK]

It's not, it's not what you give but it's what you kept
It's not, it's not who you kill but it's who you left

I am I am running in my head
I am I am lying on my left
I am I am growing in my bed
I am I am ...

It's not, it's not how you speak but it's what you said
It's not, it's not what you seek but it's what you have

I am I am running in my head
I am I am lying on my left
I am I am growing in my bed
I am I am...

It's not, it's not what it seems ... It's not what it seems
It's not, it's not what you leave but it's what you hold

I am I am running in my head
I am I am lying on my left
I am I am growing in my bed
I am I am ...

[KlausK]

oh terry...


Lord, Lord, can you hear me? Oh, I am in pain
And I don't have a woman left to blame, anymore
She left me this morning
So why does the wind go howling her name?
Are your angels just children laughing insane
At the fools we are as men? Go count me in.
Lord, Lord, can you hear me, oh, I am not well
And I spend all my time here in this cell of my heart
An actor not given a part
So why does the wind go howling her name?
Are your angels just children laughing insane
At the fools we are as men? Go count me in.
Lord, Lord, take my hand and please, please lead me through
I have no one and I am counting on you, now that I'm old
And I'm so scared of dying alone
And how does the wind go howling her name?
Are your angels just children laughing insane

Oh oh oh ohoo little china girl
Oh oh oh ohoo little china girl

I could escape this feeling, with my china girl
I feel a wreck without my, little china girl
I hear her heart beating, loud as thunder
Saw the stars crashing

Im a mess without my, little china girl
Wake up mornings wheres my, little china girl
I hear hearts beating, loud as thunder
I saw they stars crashing down

I feel an tragic like an marlon brando
When I look at my china girl
I could pretend that nothing really meant too much
When I look at my china girl

I stumble into town just like a sacred cow
Visions of swastikas in my head
Plans for everyone
Its in the white of my eyes

My little china girl
You shouldnt mess with me
Ill ruin everything you are
Ill give you television
Ill give you eyes of blue
Ill give you men who want to rule the world

And when I get excited
My little china girl says
Oh baby just you shut your mouth
She says ... sh
She says
She says

And when I get excited
My little china girl says
Oh baby just you shut your mouth
And when I get excited
My little china girl says
Oh baby just you shut your mouth
She says ... sh
She says

Oh oh oh ohoo little china girl
Oh oh oh ohoo little china girl
Oh oh oh ohoo little china girl
Oh oh oh ohoo little china girl
Oh oh oh ohoo little china girl
