Patti Smith / Dead City

This dead city longs to be
This dead city longs to be free
Seven screaming horses
Melt down in the sun
Building scenes on empty dreams
And smoking them one by one

This dead city longs to be
This dead city longs to be living
Is it any wonder there's squalor in the sun
With their broken schemes and their lotteries
They never get nowhere

Is it any wonder they're spitting at the sun
God's parasites in abandoned sites
and they never have much fun

If I was a blind man
Would you see for me
Or would you confuse
The nature of my blues
And refuse a hand to me

Is it any wonder crying in the sun
Is it any wonder I'm crying in the sun
Well I built my dreams on your empty scenes
Now I'm burning them one by one

This damn city this dead city
Immortal city
Motor city
Suc-cess city
Longs to be
Longs to be
Free
Free
Free

Dieser Thread führt dazu, dass ich seit langen wieder mal in meinen Cds und Platten wühle ... wäre außerdem schade, wenn er untergeht.

Deshalb noch ein Klassiker, für alle mit Flugangst

The Rolling Stones / Flight 505

(m. jagger/k. richards)

Well, I was happy here at home
I got everything I need.
Happy bein’ on my own
Just living the life I lead.

Well, suddenly it dawned on me
That this was not my life.
So I just phoned the airline girl
And said, "get me on flight number 505,
Get me on flight number 505."

Well, I confirmed my reservation.
Then I hopped a cab.
No idea of my destination
And feeling pretty bad.

With my suitcase in my hand.
In my head, my new life.
So then I told the airline girl
"well, get me on flight number 505,
Get me on flight number 505."
Alright.

Well, I sat right there in my seat.
Well, feeling like a king.
With the whole world right at my feet.
"of course I’ll have a drink!"

Well, suddenly I saw
That we never ever would arrive.
He put the plane down in the sea.
The end of flight number 505.
The end of flight number 505.
Alright.

Whew, they put the plane down in the sea.
The end of flight number 505.
The end of flight number 505.





Cheers,

Bernd

Standing At The Station (Ten Years After)

Gonna leave my blues behind me
Gonna find another town.
Gonna try and find some people
Who this time won't bring me down.
As I step out of the carriage
The station looks the same
As the one I left behind me,
Though it has another name.

Das macht richtig Spaß ....


Jetzt habe ich was besonderes - Erklärung nach Text und Bild ...


Dire Straits / Industrial Disease

Warning lights are flashing down at quality control
Somebody threw a spanner and they threw him in the hole
Theres rumors in the loading bay and anger in the town
Somebody blew the whistle and the walls came down
Theres a meeting in the boardroom theyre trying to trace the smell
Theres leaking in the washroom theres a sneak in personnel
Somewhere in the corridors someone was heard to sneeze
goodness me could this be industrial disease?

The caretaker was crucified for sleeping at his post
Theyre refusing to be pacified its him they blame the most
The watchdogs got rabies the foremans got fleas
And everyones concerned about industrial disease
Theres panic on the switchboard tongues are ties in knots
Some come out in sympathy some come out in spots
Some blame the management some the employees
And everybody knows its the industrial disease

The work force is disgusted downs tools and walks
Innocence is injured experience just talks
Everyone seeks damages and everyone agrees
That these are classic symptoms of a monetary squeeze
On itv and bbc they talk about the curse
Philosophy is useless theology is worse
History boils over theres an economics freeze
Sociologists invent words that mean industrial disease

Doctor parkinson declared Im not surprised to see you here
Youve got smokers cough from smoking, brewers droop from drinking beer
I dont know how you came to get the betty davis knees
But worst of all young man youve got industrial disease
He wrote me a prescription he said you are depressed
But Im glad you came to see me to get this off your chest
Come back and see me later - next patient please
Send in another victim of industrial disease

I go down to speakers corner Im thunderstruck
They got free speech, tourists, police in trucks
Two men say theyre jesus one of them must be wrong
Theres a protest singer singing a protest song - he says
they wanna have a war to keep us on our knees
They wanna have a war to keep their factories
They wanna have a war to stop us buying japanese
They wanna have a war to stop industrial disease
Theyre pointing out the enemy to keep you deaf and blind
They wanna sap your energy incarcerate your mind
They give you rule brittania, gassy beer, page three
Two weeks in espana and sunday striptease
Meanwhile the first jesus says Id cure it soon
Abolish monday mornings and friday afternoons
The other ones on a hunger strike hes dying by degrees
How come jesus gets industrial disease





Das Bild sieht zwar gfitig aus - deshalb passts zum Lied, ist aber tatsächlich das berühmte Thermalkraftwerk in Island an der blauen Lagune. Aufgenommmen 1984 mit einer Canon AE1, FD 50, 1.8 Wir waren zu dritt und haben unser Zelt dort aufgeschlagen. Heute steht dort ein Hotel und die Lagune wird nie mehr leer sein ..

Jeremiah Was A Bullfrog (Creedence Clearwater Revival)

Jeremiah* was a bullfrog,
He was a good friend of mine.
I never understood a single word he said
But I helped him drink his wine.
Sing it: Joy to all the world,
To the boys and girls,
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea,
Joy to you and me.

The Doors / When the music's over

When the music's over
When the music's over, yeah
When the music's over
Turn out the lights
Turn out the lights
Turn out the lights

When the music's over
When the music's over
When the music's over
Turn out the lights
Turn out the lights
Turn out the lights

For the music is your special friend
Dance on fire as it intends
Music is your only friend

Until the end

Cancel my subscription to the Resurrection
Send my credentials to the house of detention
I got some friends inside

The face in the mirror won't stop
The girl in the window won't drop
A feast of friends
"Alive", she cried
Waiting for me
Outside

Before I sink into the big sleep
I want to hear, I want to hear
The scream of the butterfly

Come back, baby
Back into my arms

We're gettin' tired of hangin' around
Waitin' around, with our heads to the ground
I hear a very gentle sound

Very near, yet very far
Very soft, yeah, very clear
Come today, come today

What have they done to the Earth?
What have they done to our fair sister?
Ravaged and plundered and ripped her and bit her
Stuck her with knives in the side of the dawn
And tied her with fences
And dragged her down

I hear a very gentle sound
With your ear down to the ground
We want the world and we want it...
Now
Now?
NOW!

Persian night, babe
See the light, babe
Save us!
Jesus!
Save us!

So when the music's over
When the music's over, yeah
When the music's over
Turn out the lights
Turn out the lights
Turn out the lights

Well, the music is your special friend
Dance on fire as it intends
Music is your only friend
Until the end
Until the end,
Until the end

Mal sehen, was der Herr Bullfrog persönlich dazu verlautbart...

Hier bin ich mir nicht so sicher ... s/w kommt nicht gut, mal sehen obs farbig passt ...

Also ich kann's mir in B/W mit verschärftem Kontrast irgendwie besser vorstellen... Doors-mässiger... :gruebel:

So, jetzt bin ich beim Durchwühlen meiner CDs doch glatt hierauf gestossen:

So trollen wir uns (Klaus Hoffmann)

So troll'n wir uns ganz fromm und sacht,
Vom Weingelag und Freudenschmaus,
Wenn uns der Tod ruft: Gute Nacht!
Dein Stundenglas rinnt aus.
Wer heut noch frech den Schnabel wetzt
und glaubt ein großer Herr zu sein:
Paß auf, der Schreiner hobelt jetzt
Schon grad an deinem Schrein!

Doch scheint das Grab dir tief
Und dumpf sein Druck
À la vôt', so nimm noch einen Schluck
Und noch einen hinterher,
Und noch zweie, dreie mehr,
Dann stirbst du nicht so schwer.

Roses in the *hospital* ** ERSETZE hospital durch: street
Try to pull my fingernails out
Roses in the hospital
I want to cling to something soft
Roses in the hospital
Progressing like a constant war
Roses in the hospital
There's no one to feel ashamed for

All we wanted was a home
Now we are so strung out we wanna own
Like a leaf in the autumn breeze
Like a flood in January
We don't want your fucking love

Roses in the hospital
Stub cigarettes out on my arm
Roses in the hospital
Want to feel something of value
Roses in the hospital
Nothing really makes me happy
Roses in the hospital
Heroin is just too trendy

All we wanted was a home
Now we are so strung out we wanna own
Like a leaf in the autumn breeze
Like a flood in January
We don't want your fucking love

Roses in the hospital
This century achieved so much
Roses in the hospital
To make a voice no voice at all
Roses in the hospital
Flowers cannot express the loss
Roses in the hospital
Torn reflections of burnt out trash
Of burnt out trash

Forever ever delayed
Forever ever delayed
Forever
Forever

Forever ever delayed
(Indepencence is a game)
Forever ever delayed
(Credibility, I'm yawning)
Forever
Forever
(Rudi Rudi Rudi Rudi Rudi Rudi Rudi Rudi gonna fail)

Forever ever delayed
Forever delayed
Forever
Forever

Forever delayed
(The west scratches onto my skin)
Forever delayed
(Contagious like a suntain)
We never felt any sun, any sun

Manic Street Preachers / Suicide Is Painless


Through early morning fog I see
Visions of the things to be
The pains that are withheld for me
I realize and I can see, that

Suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please

Try to find a way to make
All our little joys relate
Without that ever-present hate
But now I know that it's too late

And Suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please

The game of life is hard to play
I'm gonna lose it anyway
The losing card I'll someday lay
So this is all I have to say

That Suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please

The only way to win is cheat
And lay it down before I'm beat
And to another give my seat
For that's the only painless feat

'Cause Suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please

The sword of time will pierce our skin
It doesn't hurt when it begins
But as it works its way on in
The pain grows stronger, watch it grin

For Suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please

A brave man once requested me
To answer questions that are key
Is it to be or not to be
And I replied, oh, why ask me

'Cause Suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please

And you can do the same thing
If you please

If I could fly

If I could fly ; Helloween

No fear, no pain
Nobody left to blame
I'll try alone
Make destiny my own
I learn to free my mind
Myself I now must find
Once more
Once more
If I could fly
Like the king of the sky
Could not tumble nor fall
I would picture it all
If I could fly
See the world through my eyes
Would not stumble nor fail
To the heavens I sail
If I could fly
So here I am
In solitude I stand
I've got dreams inside
I need to realize
My faith has grown
No fear of the unknown
No more
No more
If I could fly
Like the king of the sky
Could not tumble nor fall
I would picture it all
If I could fly
See the world through my eyes
Would not stumble nor fail
I could ravage my jail
If I could fly
If I could, if I could, fly
If I could, if I could, fly
If I could, if I could fly
Like the king of the sky
Could not tumble nor fall
I would picture it all
If I could fly
See the world through my eyes
Would not stumble nor fail
To the heavens I sail
If I could fly
Like the king of the sky
Could not tumble nor fall
I would picture it all
If I could fly
See the world through my eyes
Would not stumble nor fail
I could ravage my jail
If I could fly

I Drove All Night (Roy Orbison)

I had to escape , the city was sticky and cruel.
Maybe I should have called you first
But I was dying to get to you.

I was dreaming while I drove
The long straight road ahead.

Could taste your sweet kisses, your arms open wide
This fever for you was just burning me up inside.

I drove all night to get to you
Is that all right?
I drove all night, crept in your room
Woke you from your sleep to make love to you.
Is that all right?
I drove all night.

The Stranglers / Toiler on the Sea

I had a woman ship
I took her overseas
She left her hold unlocked
I had to find a dock
I was a toiler on the sea
I was a toiler on the sea

We didn't use cruel words
To navigate cruel seas
The wind was biting hard
At times I had to scream
I was a toiler on the sea
I was a toiler on the sea

And when we reached the land
We went aground on the rocks
Became a wreck in the sand
Became a home for a flock
We ventured overland
Fought with the aliens
The young ones used their hands
Pointed the way to a flock
A flock of seagulls
A flock of Seagulls
A flock of seagulls

Then we retraced our steps
Rebuilt the woman ship
I took her back up North
I lost her in the fog
I was a toiler on the sea
I was a toiler on the sea







Cheers,
Bernd

Rolling Stones / Dead Flowers

Well, when youre sitting there
In your silk upholstered chair
Talking to some rich folks that you know
Well I hope you wont see me
In my ragged company
You know I could never be alone

Take me down little susie, take me down
I know you think youre the queen of the underground
And you can send me dead flowers every morning
Send me dead flowers by the mail
Send me dead flowers to my wedding
And I wont forget to put roses on your grave

Well, when youre sitting back
In your rose pink cadillac
Making bets on kentucky derby day
Ill be in my basement room
With a needle and a spoon
And another girl to take my pain away

Take me down little susie, take me down
I know you think youre the queen of the underground
And you can send me dead flowers every morning
Send me dead flowers by the mail
Send me dead flowers to my wedding
And I wont forget to put roses on your grave

Take me down little susie, take me down
I know you think youre the queen of the underground
And you can send me dead flowers every morning
Send me dead flowers by the us mail
Say it with dead flowers at my wedding
And I wont forget to put roses on your grave
No I wont forget to put roses on your grave

Why Does It Hurt When I Pee? (Frank Zappa)

Shortly after his liaison with the taco stand lady,
JOE makes a horrible discovery. . .

Why does it hurt when I pee?
Why does it hurt when I pee?
I don't want no doctor
To stick no needle in me.
Why does it hurt when I pee?
I got it from the toilet seat.
I got it from the toilet seat.
It jumped right up
'N' grabbed my meat.
Got it from the toilet seat.
My balls feel like a pair of maracas.
My balls feel like a pair of maracas.
Oh God I probably got the Gon-o-ka-ka-khackus!
My balls feel like a pair of maracas,
Ai-ee-ai-ee-ahhhh!
Why does it,
Why does it,
Why does it,
Why does it hurt...
when...
I peeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee?

Rust Never Sleeps (Neil Young)

The king is gone but he's not forgotten,
Is this the story of Johnny Rotten?
It's better to burn out 'cause rust never sleeps,
The king is gone but he's not forgotten.

Hey hey, my my,
Rock and roll can never die.
There's more to the picture
Than meets the eye.

Rust never sleeps steht auf der Türe!

Cat Stevens / I love my dog


I love my dog as much as I love you
But you may fade, my dog will always come through.

All he asks from me is the food to give him strength
All he ever needs is love and that he knows hell get

So, I love my dog as much as I love you
But you may fade, my dog will always come through.

All the pay I need comes shining through his eyes
I dont need no cold water to make me realize that

I love my dog as much as I love you
But you may fade, my dog will always come through.

Na, na, na, na, na, na, nana...

I love my dog as much as I love you
But you may fade, my dog will always come through.

Na, na, na, na, na, na, nana...

I love my dog, baby, I love my dog. na, na, na...
I love my dog, baby, I love my dog. na, na, na...






Gruß,
Bernd
