Let´s make up & be friendly I´ m fed up to here with shows like good times and bad times and all that kinda kid stuff, what we need is a change, a real hard times reality show, so let s make something really different : Imagine that: The winner takes it all: money chicks, and so on, the loser loses all, live in prime time: we give him the chair, hang him in our favourite tree, the show is gonna be broadcasted worldwide what about that? Hey terrific, man, it´ s great, I,… I love it, I love it, really.. that´ s.., That´ s the kinda stuff we need, do not adjust your set, It´ s no interferences on your tv, That´ s the show, man Let ´s make up and be friendly, the producer softly sighed ready for a brand new show: the carnival of life go tell it to all those losers, who always cry for peace From the postcards of their hanging, they get their royalties smile your sweetest smile, folks, we´ ll catch it with our follow spot, Camera one, get ready, let´ s see what you have got that girl seems pretty nervous ,ah, gimme that loser´ s look hey focus on that´ greedy boy we got him on the hook What you see is what you get, Close your eyes, you ain´ t seen nothing yet Hard times, hard times Is the name of the game tonight, it´ s up to you, come on and fight Hard times, hard times You take it all or give it all away we´ re so fuckin´ digital, well, don´ t you think it´ s cool? one means being number one, the zero stands for fools sign with your blood, folks, to confirm that you agree to the best day in your life or the last day that you see What you see is what you get, Close your eyes, you ain´ t seen nothing yet Hard times, hard times Is the name of the game tonight, it´ s up to you, come on and fight Hard times, hard times You take it all or give it all away Solo to comfort the poor loser, his wife and his family, you played the greatest show on earth, now you can rest in peace, every second cent of your story ,every third cent out of your death helps your family to get along so they don´ t run out of bread to comfort the poor loser, his wife and his family, you played the greatest show on earth, now you can rest in peace,

the rising of the week-end 07:52

The rising of the week-end At the rising of the week-end, everybody came along, Some of them came just for a smile-in, others loved the songs (fill-in solo) We expected it to happen, no, we never lost control Be it wounded, be it saddened music heals the weary soul All the saints and all the sinners, sail away to distant shores All the losers all the winners they don ´t matter anymore (fill-in solo) Seems like half the world is fightin´, who is wrong and who is right at the festival of movers we got music on our side All the riding all the sailin, no one knows which way to go All the praying all the wailing keeps on downing every soul the sun shines down the sky is open blue is the color white is the number everybody looks to the clear blue sky everybody waits for it to happen way beyond we see roads we could have taken if only we had trusted into ourselves a light shines down from heaven the ship might come out of the bluest sky arrive, arrive, arrive, they cried, and it arrived

doctor, please 04:11
lyrics

Doctor, please Doctor, doctor, please, stay outside, I wanna keep all my memories a-bleedin´, Not like in paradise refound, But they´ re still alive as long as they bleed on But he came here, nevertheless, In this retro time-machine in a brand-new doctor dress Mama told me not to come: “this ain ´t your party, Wrong kind of folks that always laugh too loud No fun in dancing to their music One time too many you´ ll get lost in the crowd” But I went there, nevertheless, I put on my new party-hat and my good-time- party-dress Feel like reborn every morning Shadows callin´ me late at night Watch the clouds keep getting darker Let the rain fall

strangers 07:42

strangers near the churches and the houses, in the streets below Somebody told me of your love In the tearooms of the city, in the evening glow Somebody told me of your love And I wanna be there in the afternoon In the sunshine of your love When darkness falls and the sun goes down In the end there´ s only - love Then I meet you at that corner Stranger´s eyes meet mine Dating here is out of fashion But we really give no damn Time keeps passin´ in slow motion Love we sigh, love we sigh In the neighbourhood of nowhere by the garden gate Somebody told me of your love In the twilight of tomorrow I feel it´s getting late Somebody told me of your love Neath the windows of our future, in the shadows of my garden trees, Feel the heartbeat of our love, Here in old nutopia thru´ our open veins Feel the heartbeat of – love Here I meet you at the corner Stranger´s eyes meet mine Nutopia is out of reach now, Guess, it´s always been that way, Dooris closed, key got lost, Angels sigh – angels cry (like) a stranger in a strange land I try to talk to you I point out with my left hand to the place I´m goin´ to Strangers - strangers

dies irae praeterita 07:17
lyrics
buy track
dies irae praeterita a grain of sand in the desert of life a brief memento of all struggle and strife is there nothing more that remains of you is there nothing more in this life to do one more universe has vanished to the endlessness of time and its search for hope and glory ended up in broken rhymes sometimes I think over what has brought me here still the same old hunger still the same old fears might have sold too early to you my soul in those days of anger really lost control Lucy, never really loved you all I needed was a friend I pretended I´ d adore you now it´s “fuck off” in the end sometimes feel so very tired late at night I´ m coming home from work like all the ordinary people I watch the rain fall I – e - I -e- I – e – I – e –I bellum finitum, nihil reliquum dies irae praeterita bellum finitum, nihil reliquum dies irae praeterita

the war is over 07:32
lyrics

The war is over What´ s the crisis, anyway? the sun still keeps shining Yes it is true, there´s a cloud in the sky What´ s the crisis, anyway? I still keep my smile, Yes, it is true, there´ s a tear in my eye Winners and losers, the war is over, We soldiers have lost.., at least some came back home To their wives & their families to build up new gardens New houses, new streets, a new life for their own What ´s the crisis anyway? As long the sun still keeps shining We sure need no promises for bluer skies Winners and losers, the war is over, We soldiers have lost.., at least some came back home Searchin´ for new ways, a new horizon …in a world without fighting…? The war is over feel the warmth of the sun Life´ s just for living, human as beings
