A Victory of Love
|
|
Waiting For a change in the weather I'm waiting for a shift in the air Could we get it together, ever Hoping for your return, hoping for your sweet, sweet Return Hello Is this heaven calling Hello, hello, is somebody there, she must be somewhere And then she says hello, hello, hello She's really an angel She stands in the sunshine She's closing her eyes, she starting to dream, She's pulling the strings She's dreaming a strange dream Where nothing is grey Then she takes me away and she's pulling the strings When she's playing with love She's playing with love... Counting I count every second And I'm standing I stand in the rain, I walk up that lane Which leads to the sunshine She stands in the sunshine She's closing her eyes Then she takes me away and she's pulling the strings When she's playing with love She's playing with love... |

Summer in Berlin
|
|
This day's an invitation And it's just for you You've got a reservation For the 17th of June Open your eyes And let the sun break in for a while There may be something That you've never seen inside Feel how your heart beats Like a heavy machine The sound of the traffic Is like a silent dream The dust in the park The exhaust from the cars Ascends in that heated afternoon (You touch a sweaty body!) Summer in Berlin, it's alright The day feels so tired From the lead in the air And the fire in the skies Life seemed to be a fault of grace But it's ok It gave you a kiss In the middle of the crossroads Summer in Berlin, it's alright The heat of the sun Which is stored in the pavement Feels so fine Here stands the innocent and there it comes oh so wild That's when you're longing For a summer by the wall Summer in Berlin, it's alright Summer in Berlin, it's ok |

Big in Japan
|
|
Winter's cityside Crystal bits of snowflakes all around my head and in the wind I had no illusions That I'd ever find a glimps of summer's heatwaves in your eyes You did what you did to me Now it's history I see Here's my comeback on the road again Things will happen while they can I will wait here for my man tonight It's easy when your big in Japan When your big in Japan, tonight Big in Japan, be tight, Big in Japan where the eastern sea's so blue Big in Japan, alright Pay, then I'll sleep by your side Things are easy when you're big in Japan When you're big in Japan Neon on my naked skin Passing silhouettes of strange illuminated mannequins Shall I stay here at the zoo Or shall I go and change my point of view for other ugly scenes You did what you did to me Now it's history I see Here's my comeback on the road again Things will happen while they can I will wait here for my man tonight It's easy when your big in Japan When your big in Japan, tonight Big in Japan, be tight, Big in Japan where the eastern sea's so blue Big in Japan, alright Pay, then I'll sleep by your side Things are easy when you're big in Japan When you're big in Japan |

To Germany with Love
|
|
I am an emigre, I write to Germany In foreign words A tongue of actuality Coated in grey gloves To Germany with love A war between the wars To Germany with love I am an emigre, I write to Germany In foreign words A tongue of actuality Coated in grey gloves... To Germany with love A war between the wars A war between the wars Triumph over by-gone sorrow Can in unity be won Let them all persue this purpose 'till reality is gone I am an unexpected spy... From the outside of my eye Translate it first then comprehend I'm here indeed but there I stand... I write to Germany, I write to Germany To Germany with love... Germany with love This is the turn of colours All real but still unseen There is no more decision 'cause there's too much in between Let us build a nightmare-nation Learn and work as never yet That this cold new generation Faith in its own fears beget Here comes the modern rat Here comes the terror-squad Ours is the salt of wisdom, Here we come all dressed in black Form the ruins risen slowly To the future turned we stand Flourish in the blessing glory Flourish German fatherland... I write to Germany, I write to Germany To Germany with love... Germany with love All quiet in Germany, all quiet in Germany (March 1: Departure -- March 2: Arrival -- March 3: still) |

Fallen Angel
|
|
I hear those voices on the radio I switched it off because she told me so She's an investigator She's like an elevator Nobody told me we'd be all alone You know Somewhere my friend he'd left me In that red light zone You know She said: I've seen your deepest secrets, son They're just as lightning In the look of your eyes I said: I want you, Baby, I said: I want some more I said: I never ever felt it like that moment before She's an assassin, She's melting steel in my heart But I long for more. She said: I want your body, She said: I want your soul She said: A fallen angel takes it but she'll never let go She's an invader, She's from another world But I beg for more and more She's raising feelings cutting like a knife She's pouring fire into my liquid life There's no escaping from her mysteries, She gives me kisses of the stangest kind She says: I know you'll like it, So come over here She says: Just let that rhythm filter Through your body, dear and then she... She always did it and she always will She'll stay that hunter 'till the end of time |

Forever Young
|
|
Let's dance in style Let's dance for a while Heaven can wait We're only watching the skies Hoping for the best But expecting the worst Are you going to drop the bomb or not???? Let us die young or let us live forever We don't have the power But we never say never Sitting in a sandpit Life is a short trip The music's for the sad men Can you imagine when this race is won? Turn our golden faces into the sun Praising our leaders We're getting in tune The music's played by the madmen Forever young, I want to be forever young Do you really want to live forever Forever - and ever Some are like water Some are like the heat Some are a melody and some are the beat Sooner or later, they all will be gone Why don't they stay young? It's so hard to get old without a cause I don't want to perish like a fading horse Youth's like diamonds in the sun And diamonds are forever So many adventures couldn't happen today So many songs we forgot to play So many dreams swinging out of the blue We'll let them come true Forever young, I want to be forever young Do you really want to live forever Forever - and ever |

In the Mood
|
|
He's in the mood to touch the fire He's in the mood to touch everything you are Jacky's locked in a silent dream He's watching movies on the tv screen He feels unsteady, lights a cigarette He's getting mellow in his cabinet Oh, Jacky, when everything goes wrong Get ready, for you've got to be, you've got to be so strong It's so supersensual, sentimental Forget about your deepest fears Switch back to the golden years You've got to touch the fire, wake up little boy You've got to play the fire Jacky's spying, is it her or not His eyes are burning cause the brain's too hot He sitting calmly on his swivel chair There's something coming from the upper stairs Now listen to me, jacky You were always so lonesome in that quiet lonely house High on a hill Now come... come and meet me You know where And we take a nice and easy holiday Back in the old, old days of happiness Oh Jacky.... Switch back to the golden years |

Sounds Like a Melody
|

It's a trick of my mind Two faces bathing in the screenlight She's so soft and warm in my arms I tune it into the scene My hands are resting on her shoulders When we're dancing away for a while Oh we're moving, we're falling, We step into the fire By the hour of the wolf in a midnight dream There's no reason to hurry Just start that brand new story Set it alight, we're head over heels in love, Head over heels... The ringing of your laughter It sounds like a melody To once forbidden places We'll go for a while It's the definite show Our shadows resting in the moonlight It's so clear and bright in your eyes It's the touch of your sighs My lips are resting on your shoulder When we're moving so soft and slow We need the extasy, the jealousy, The comedy of love Like the Cary Grants and Kellys once before Give me more tragedy, more harmony And phantasy, my dear And set it alight, just starting that satellite Set it alight... The ringing of your laughter It sounds like a melody To once forbidden places, We'll go for a while |

Lies

Baby - what do I do? Playing my tune for you Just to get you in the mood Everybody's going to Hollywood You're driving me mad But I'm smiling to the crowd instead A lot of money is at stake This is a hit and that's a fake This is what you mean to me This is what they all should see Make a make-up in a foolish style Telling the truth by making a (big?) lie When I come, I come but nothing's at ease Breaking up the whole is a modern disease Maybe you think tomorrow's just a joke It's a joke after joke after joke after joke My love, everything's an interview And nothing's really new And everybody's looking for clues And you know what to do with a clue My love - I get ready for the show They're waiting and they will never go This night is just to go-o-o-o And it's only for show Dig that deal and be a millionaire Drinking cocktails in the stratosphere Getting jetlagged with my business-friends In these supersonic wonderlands There's a shadow on the graphic display First he's smiling then he's fading away Maybe he thinks tomorrow's just a joke It's a joke after joke after joke after joke My love... |

The Jet Set

This is the time, now gimme that beat Feel how the rhythm grips your feet Ah Kitty-Baby, take my hand She's like a devil heaven-sent I'm in her arms and she's in mine Maybe we'll make the film on time Sitting in the 15th row Oh Baby Baby, I love you so We are the jet-set society We are the jet-set And the means liberty We're on the run, we know where to go We've got the tickets for the midnight show These nights are burning out so fast Hop on the beam, you won't be last The Russians seem to be that way we love 'em like we love D. Kaye We need no money, we got it free We are the high-high-high-high-high so-ci-e-ty We are the jet-set society We are the jet-set And the means liberty We are the jet set, hop on the beam We are the jet set, hop on the beam We are the jet set, hop on the beam We are the jet set, hop on the beam Shine on society - shine on liberty Shine on luxury - shine on so-ci-e-ty Streets are full of love and fear This could be the final year Enrico's dead but still ok We dance the streets feeling well If she's a liar, I'm her lover If she's a priestess, I'm her cover If she's a lady, I'm her man If she's a man, I'll do what I can We are the jet-set society We are the jet-set And the means liberty Oooh, I do what I can Oooh, Baby, I love you so and we don't care |
