1. 500 Meilen
Klare | Sicht der Tag beg | innt Wir sind auf | Kurs mit gutem | Wind |
Du bist | fern, Bist soweit | weg und doch bei | mir. |
Nichts als | Meer vor dem | Bug, Sorg Dich | nicht es geht mir | gut; |
Nur manchmal | sehn ich mich zu | rück zurück zu | Dir. | | | |
Du bist | Da, hältst mich | warm, Du bist | hier in meinem | Arm, |
und Du | stärkst mich, denn der | Abschied fiel so | schwer. |
Ich bin | ein, ich bin | zwei, ich bin | drei und ich bin | vier, |
ich bin | fünfhundert | Meilen auf dem | Meer. | | | |
Bucht für | Bucht, Ort für | Ort, Eine | Nacht und wieder | fort. |
Jeden | Abend wenn wir | ankern such ich | dich! |
Wir sind f | rei hier auf | See, Nur das | Herz tut manchmal | weh, |
Denn ich | seh in jeder | Wolke dein | Gesicht. | | | |
Du bist | Da, hältst mich | warm, Du bist | hier in meinem | Arm, |
und Du | stärkst mich, denn der | Abschied fiel so | schwer. |
Ich bin | ein, ich bin | zwei, ich bin | drei und ich bin | vier, |
ich bin | fünfhundert | Meilen auf dem | Meer. | | | |
Du bist | Da, hältst mich | warm, Du bist | hier in meinem | Arm |
und Du | stärkst mich, denn der | Abschied fiel so | schwer. |
| Wir sind frei hier auf | See, Nur das | Herz tut manchmal | weh. |
Ich bin | fünfhundert Meilen fort von | Dir. | | | |
| | | | Ich bin | fünfhundert Meilen fort von | Dir. | | |
| | | | Ich bin | fünfhundert Meilen fort von | Dir. | | |
2. A Boy named Sue
Well My | daddy left home when I was three -- And he | didn't leave much to Ma and me |
Just | this old guitar and an empty bottle of | booze. -- Now, I don't blame him cause he run and hid |
But the | meanest thing that he ever did -- Was be | fore he left, he went and named me ' | Sue'. |
Well, he must have thought that that was quite a joke -- And it got a lot of laughs from a' lots of folks, | |
It seems I had to fight my whole life through. -- Some gal' would giggle and I'd get red | |
And some guy'd laugh and I'd bust his head, -- I tell you, life ain't easy for a boy named 'Sue'. | |
Well, I grew up quick and I grew up mean, -- My fist got hard and my wits got keen, | |
I'd roam from town to town to hide my shame. -- But I made me a vow to the moon and stars | |
That I'd search the honky-tonks and bars -- And kill that man that give me that awful name. | |
Well, it was Gatlinburg in mid-July -- And I just hit town and my throat was dry, | |
I thought I'd stop and have myself a brew. -- At an old saloon on a street of mud, | |
There at a table, dealing stud, -- Sat the dirty, mangy dog that named me 'Sue'. | |
Well, I knew that snake was my own sweet dad -- From a worn-out picture that my mother'd had, | |
And I knew that scar on his cheek and his evil eye. -- He was big and bent and gray and old, | |
And I looked at him and my blood ran cold -- And I said: "My name is 'Sue'! how do you do? | |
Now you gonna die!" - Yeah, that's what I told him! | |
Well, I hit him hard right between the eyes -- And he went down, but, to my surprise, | |
He come up with a knife and cut off a piece of my ear. -- But I busted a chair right across his teeth | |
And we crashed through the wall and into the street -- Kicking and a' gouging in the mud and the blood and the beer. | |
I tell you, I've fought tougher men -- But I really can't remember when, | |
He kicked like a mule and he bit like a crocodile. -- I heard him laugh and then I heard him cuss, | |
He went for his gun and I pulled mine first, -- He stood there lookin' at me and I saw him smile. | |
He said: "Son, this world is rough -- And if a man's gonna make it, he's gotta be tough | |
And I know I wouldn't be there to help you along. -- So I give you that name and I said good-bye | |
I knew you'd have to get tough or die -- And it's that name that helped to make you strong." | |
He said: "Now you just fought one hell of a fight -- And I know you hate me, and you got the right | |
To kill me now, and I wouldn't blame you if you do. -- But you ought to thank me, before I die, | |
For the gravel in ya' guts and the spit in ya' eye -- Cause I'm the son-of-a-bitch that named you 'Sue'." | |
I got all choked up and I threw down my gun -- And I called him my pa, and he called me his son, | |
And I come away with a different point of view. -- And I think about him, now and then, | |
Every time I try and every time I win, -- And if I ever have a son, I think I'm gonna name him | |
Bill or George! Any damn' thing but Sue! -- I still hate that name! | |
3. A Day in the Life
| I read the | news today, oh | boy, | about a | lucky man who | made the grade. |
| And thought the | news were rather | sad, | well I just | had to laugh: | |
| He blew his | mind out in a | car, | he didn't | notice that the | lights had changed. |
| A crowd of | people stood and | stared, | they'd seen his | face before: |
| Nobody was really sure if he was from the House of | Lords. |
| I saw a | film today, oh | boy, | the england | army had just | won the war. |
| A crowd of | people turned a | way, | but I just | had to look |
| Woke up, fell out of bed, dragged a combed across my | head | | | | |
Found my | way downstairs and | dranked a cup, and | looking up I | noticed I was late! |
| Grabbed my coat, found my hat, made the bus in seconds | flat | | | |
Found my | way upstairs and | had a smoke, and | somebody spoke and I | went into a dream |
| Aaaah | Ahahahah | Ahaaaa | Ahaha - | Aaaah | Ahahahah | Ahaaaa | Ahaha | | | | | | |
| I read the | news today, oh | boy, | four thousand | holes in Blackburn | Lancashire |
| And though the | holes were rather | small, | they had to | count them all | |
Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert | Hall |
4. A Hard Day's Night

But when I | get home to you I find the | things that you do will make me | feel | al - | right! |

And It's worth it just to | hear you | say you're gonna | give me ev'ry | thing. |
So why on | earth should I moan, 'cause when I | get you alone you know it | feels | al - | right. |
When I | home | ev'rything seems to be | right |
When I'm | home | feeling you holding me | tight, | tight, yeah! |

5. A Well Respected Man

| | | | / / / / | | / / / / | | / / / / | | / / / / | | / / / / | | / / | / / | | / / | / / | | / / | / | / | |
| We skipped the light, fan | dango, | And turned cartwheels 'cross the | floor. |
| I was feeling kind of | seasick, | | And the crowd called out for | more. | |
| The room was humming | harder, | As the ceiling flew a | way; | |
| When we called out for an | other | drink | The waiter brought a | tray: |
| And so it | was | that | later | | As the miller told his | tale, |
| That her face, at first just | ghostly, | Turned a | whiter | shade of | pale. | |
| She said "There is no | reason, | And the truth is plain to | see," |
| But I wandered through my | playing | cards, | And would not let her | be! | |
| One of sixteen vestal | virgins, | Who were leaving for the | coast | |
| And although my eyes were | o - | pen | They might just as well have been | closed |
| And so it | was | that | later | | As the miller told his | tale, |
| That her face, at first just | ghostly, | Turned a | whiter | shade of | pale. | |
7. Aber bitte mit Sahne
Sie | treffen sich täglich um viertel nach drei, Wo-ho-ho, (Oh- | Yeah,) | |
Am Stammtisch im Eck in der Konditorei, Wo-ho-ho, (Oh- | Yeah,) | |
Und | blasen zum Sturm auf das | Kuchenbuffet, |
auf | Früchteeis: | Ananas, | Kirsch und Banane: |
| | | | Aber bitte mit Sah | ne. (Aber bitte mit Sahne.) |
Sie schwatzen und schmatzen, dann holen sie sich, Wo-ho-ho (,Oh Yeah), | |
Noch Buttercremetorte und Bienenstich, Wo-ho-ho (,Oh Yeah). | |
Sie pusten und prusten, fast geht nichts mehr rein; | |
Nur ein Mohrenkopf höchstens, denn Ordnung muss sein - | |
Bei Mathilde, Ottilie, Marie und Liliane: | |
Aber bitte mit Sahne. (Aber bitte mit Sahne.) | |
Und das Ende vom Lied hat wohl jeder geahnt, Wo-ho-ho (,Oh Yeah), | |
Der Tod reihum sie dort abgesahnt, Wo-ho-ho (,Oh Yeah). | |
Die Hinterbliebenen fanden vor Schmerz keine Worte, | |
mit Sacher- und Linzer- und Marzipantorte. | |
Hielt als letzte Liliane getreu noch zur Fahne. | |
Aber bitte mit Sahne. (Aber bitte mit Sahne.) | |
Doch auch mit Liliane war es schließlich vorbei, Wo-ho-ho (,Oh Yeah). | |
Sie kippte vom Stuhl in der Konditorei, Wo-ho-ho (,Oh Yeah). | |
Auf dem Sarg gab's statt Kränzen verzuckerte Torten | |
Und der Pfarrer begrub sie mit rührenden Worten: | |
Dass der Herrgott den Weg in den Himmel ihr bahne, | |
Aber bitte mit Sahne. (Aber bitte mit Sahne.) | |
8. Across the Universe
| Words are flowing | out like endless | rain into a paper cup |
They | slither while they pass they slip a | way across the universe |
| Pools of sorrow | waves of joy are | drifting through my open mind |
Po | sessing and ca | ressing me |
| Jai Guru Deva - | Om - Nothing's gonna change my world, |
| Nothing's gonna change my | world. | Nothing's gonna change my world, |
| Nothing's gonna change my | world. |
| Images of | broken light which | dance before me like a million |
| eyes they call me on and on | across the universe |
| Thoughts meander | like a restless | wind inside a letterbox |
They | tumble blindly as they make their | way across the universe |
Jai Guru Deva - Om - |: Nothing's gonna change my world :| (4x) | |
| Sounds of laughter | shades of light are | ringing through my open ears |
| Limitless un | dying love which | shines around me like a million |
| suns: It calls me on and on a | cross the universe |
Jai Guru Deva - Om - |: Nothing's gonna change my world :| (4x) | |
| Jai Guru Deva - Jai Guru Deva - Jai Guru Deva... |
9. Ain't No Sunshine
| There ain't no sunshine when she's | gone. | | | |
| It's not warm when she's a | way. | | | |
There ain't no sunshine when she's | gone, |
And she's always gone too | long, |
Wonder this time where she's gone. | |
Wonder if she's gone to stay? | |
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone, | |
And this house just ain't no home, | |
| And I know I know I know I know |
I know I know I know I know... | |
Hey, I ought to | leave the young thing a | lone, |
There ain't sunshine when she's | gone. | | | |
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone, | |
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone, | |
And this house just ain't no home, | |
Anytime she goes away, Anytime she goes away, Anytime she goes away. | |

12. All Along The Watchtower
| "There must be some | kind of way | out of here," | / / / / | / |
Said the | joker to the | thief: | / / / / | / |
"There's too much confusion, | |
Businessmen, they drink my wine; | |
None of them along the line - | |
Know what any of it is worth!” | |
All along the watchtower, | |
While all the women came and went, | |
“No reason to get excited,” | |
The thief, he kindly spoke: | |
“There are many here among us | |
Who feel that life is but a joke. | |
But you and I, we’ve been through that, | |
And this is not our fate! | |
So let us not talk falsely now, | |
the hour is getting late!” | |
All along the watchtower, | |
While all the women came and went, | |
Two riders were approaching, | |
And the wind began to howl. | |
While all the women came and went | |

13. All Right Now!
There she | stood in | the | street - | Smiling from her | head to her | feet, |
I said "A- | Hey, what | is | this?" Now baby, | maybe she's in | need of a | kiss. |
I said "A- | Hey, what's | your | name, baby, | maybe we can see | things the | same? |
Now don't you | wait or | hesi | tate, Let's | move before they raise the | parking | rate." |
| All right | now, baby, it's | all right | now! | All right | now, baby, it's | all right | now! |
I took her home to my place - Watching ev'ry move on her face. | |
She said "Look, what's your game baby - are you tryin' to put me in shame?" | |
I said "Slow, don't go so fast, don't you think that love can last?" | |
She said "Love, Lord above, now you're gonna trick me in love." | |
All right now, baby, it's all right now! All right now, baby, it's all right now! | |
All right now, baby, it's all right now! All right now, baby, it's all right now! | |
All right now, baby, it's all right now! All right now, baby, it's all right now! | |
14. All Summer Long
It was | 198 | 9, my thoughts were | short my hair was long |
Caught some | where bet | ween a boy and | man |
| She was | 17 and she was | far from in between |
It was | summertime in | Northern Michi | gan |
Splashin' thru the sandbar, talkin' by the campfire | |
It's the simple things in life like when and where | |
We didn't have no internet, but man I never will forget | |
The way the moonlight shined upon her hair | |
And we were | tryin' different | things and we were | smokin' funny things |
Makin' | love out by the | lake to our favorite | songs |
Sippin' | whisky out the | bottle not | thinkin' 'bout tomorrow |
Singin' | sweet home Ala | bama all | summer long |
Singin' | sweet home Ala | bama all | summer long |
Catchin' walleye from the dock watchin' waves roll off the rocks | |
She'll forever hold a spot inside my soul | |
We'd blister in the sun we couldn't wait for night to come | |
To hit that sandy place of rock 'n roll | |
And we were tryin' different things and we were smokin' funny things | |
Makin' | love out by the lake to our favorite songs |
Sippin' whisky out the bottle not thinkin' 'bout tomorrow | |
Singin' sweet home Alabama all summer long | |
Singin' sweet home Alabama all summer long | |
Now nothin' seems as strange as when the leaves began to change | |
Oh how we thought those days would never end | |
Sometimes I hear that song and I'll start to sing along | |
And think man I'd like to see that girl again | |
And we were tryin' different things and we were smokin' funny things | |
Makin' | love out by the lake to our favorite songs |
Sippin' whisky out the bottle not thinkin' 'bout tomorrow | |
Singin' sweet home Alabama all summer long | |
Singin' sweet home Alabama all summer long | |
15. All Together Now

| Wenn du mich fragst wo es am | schönsten war, | dann sag ich Sansi | bar. |
| War 'ne harte | Überfahrt, | zehn Wochen nur das Deck | geschrubbt. |
| Hab die Welt verflucht, in den | Wind gespuckt | und salziges Wasser ge | schluckt. | | | | | | | |
| Als wir den Anker warfen war es | himmlische Ruh' |
und die | Sonne stand senkrecht am | Himmel. |
| Als ich über die Reling sah glaubte | ich zu träumen, |
da waren | tausend Boote und die hielten auf uns | zu. |
| In den Booten saßen | Männer und Frau'n ihre | Leiber glänzten in der | Sonne. |
| Und sie sangen ein Lied, daß kam mir | seltsam bekannt vor aber | so hab ich's | noch nie gehört |
| Uh | so hab ich's noch | nie ge | hört. |
| Aloha Heja | He Aloha Heja | He Aloha Heja | He |
| Aloha Heja | He Aloha Heja | He Aloha Heja | He |
Sie machten ihre Boote längsseits fest | |
und mit den Wind wehte Gelächter herüber | |
Sie nahmen ihre Blumenkränze ab und warfen sie uns herüber. | |
Hej und schon war die Party im Gange. | |
Aloha Heja He Aloha Heja He Aloha Heja He | |
Aloha Heja He Aloha Heja He Aloha Heja He | |

| Allen Mädchen geht | es | so, in der Küche, im | Bü- | ro. |
Am | Sonntag da | hab'n sie was | Besseres | vor |
Da | flüstert's die | eine der | anderen in's | Ohr: |
Am Sonntag will mein Süßer mit mir segeln geh'n, | |
sofern die Winde weh'n, das wär' doch wunderschön! | |
Am Sonntag will mein Süßer mal ein Seemann sein | |
mit mir im Sonnenschein - so ganz allein! | |
Und dann beim Abendrot mach' ich das Abendbrot | |
Auf unserm Segelboot Für meinen Süßen und für mich! | |
Am Sonntag will mein Süßer mit mir segeln geh'n | |
Sofern die Winde weh'n Das wär' doch schön! | |
20. Amazing Grace
Am | azing | grace, how | sweet the | sounds,that saved a | wretch like | me. |
I | once was | lost, but | now I’m | found, was | blind but | now | I | see. |
‘T was grace that taught my heart to fear, and grace my fears relieved. | |
How precious did that grace appear, the hour I first believed. | |
Thro’s many dangers, toils and snares, I have already come, | |
‘Tis grace hath bro’t me safe thus far, and grace will lead me home. | |
How sweet the name of Jesus sounds, in a believers ear. | |
It sooths his sorrows, heals the wounds, and drives away his fear. | |
Must Jesus bear the cross alone and all the world go free? | |
No, there’s a cross for ev’ry one and there’s a cross for me. | |
21. American Pie
A | long, | long | time ago, | I can still re | member how that | music used to make me | smile. |
And | I knew | if I | had my chance that | I could make those | people dance |
and | maybe they'd be | happy for a | while. But | February | made me shiver with e | very paper | I'd deliver. |
| Bad news | on the | doorstep. I | couldn't take one | more step. I | can't re | member | if I cried, |
when I | read about his | widowed bride, but | something | touched me | deep inside the |
So | bye | bye Miss A | merican | Pie. Drove my | Chevy to the | levee but the | levee was | dry, |
them | good ole | boys were drinkin' | whiskey and | Rye, singing | this'll be the day that I | die, | this'll be the day that I | die. |
| Did you write the | book of love and | do you have faith in | God above? |
| If the Bible | tells you so, now | do you be | lieve in | rock and roll? |
Can | music save your | mortal soul, and | can you teach me | how to dance real | slow? |
Well I | know that you're in | love with him. 'Cause I | saw you dancing | in the gym. |
You | both kicked | off your | shoes, man I | dig those rhythm and | blues! |
I was a | lonely | teenage | broncin' buck, with a | pink carnation and a | pick up truck. |
But | I knew | I was | out of luck! The | day the | music | died. | |
Bye bye Miss American Pie... | |
Now for ten years, we've been on our own and moss grows fat on a rolling stone, | |
but that's not how it used to be when the jester sang for King and Queen | |
in a coat he'd borrowed from James Dean and a voice that came from you and me | |
oh and while the King was looking down the jester stole his thorny crown | |
the courtroom was adjourned no verdict was returned. | |
And while Lenin read a book of Marx the quartett practiced in the park | |
and we sang dirges in the dark the day the music died. | |
Bye bye Miss American Pie... | |
Helter skelter in the summer swelter the birds flew off with a fallout shelter | |
eight miles high and falling fast as it landed on the grass. | |
The players tried for a forward pass with the jester on the sidelines in a cast | |
Now the half time air was sweet perfume while the sergeants played a marching tune. | |
We all got up to dance oh but we never got the chance. | |
Oh as the players tried to take the field, the marching band refused to yield. | |
Do you recall what was revealed, the day the musik died. | |
Bye bye Miss American Pie... | |
And there we were all in one a place, the generation lost in space, | |
with no time left to start again. So come on, Jack be nimble, Jack be quick | |
Jack Flash sat on a candle stick, 'cos fire is the devils only friend. | |
Oh and as I watched him on the stage my hands were clenched in first of rage. | |
No angel born in hell could break that satan spell. | |
And as the flames climbed high into the night to light the sacrificial rite | |
I saw Satan laughing with delight, the day the music died. | |
Bye bye Miss American Pie... | |
I met a girl who sang the blues and I asked her for some happy news, | |
but she just smiled and turned away. I went down to the sacred store, | |
where I heard the music years before, but the man there said the music wouldn't play. | |
And in the streets the children screamed, the lovers cried and the poets dreamed. | |
But not a word was spoken. The church bells are well broken. | |
And the three men I admire most: The Father, son and the holy ghost, | |
they caught the last train for the coast, the day the music died. | |
Bye bye Miss American Pie... (repeat) | |

24. Anne Kaffeekanne
Es | war einmal ein Mädchen, das Mädchen, das hieß Anne, |
| Die blies so gern Trompete | auf der Kaffee | kanne. |
Tra- | ri- | tra- | ra, tra-- | ri, tra- | ri, tra- | ra; |
Bis | dass die ganze | Nachbarschaft | "Aufhörn!" | schrie. |
| Da flog sie, oh Pardon, auf dem Besenstiel da- | von, |
dreimal | rum und hoch hin- | aus. |
Da kam sie an den Nordpol, und was war denn da? | |
Da riefen alle Eskimos, wie wunderbar! | |
Und einer sprach: "Gemach, gemach. | |
Die Anne kocht uns Lebertran, an jedem Tag". Da flog sie... | |
Dann kam sie in die Wüste, und was war denn da? | |
Ein riesengroßer Löwe, der hungrig war. | |
Und da sprach er: Ich mag dich sehr, | |
Ich habe dich zum Fressen gern, Komm doch ein Stückchen näher! Da flog sie... | |
Dann kam sie in die Alpen, und was war denn da? | |
Da traf sie auch die Heidi, die beim Almöhi war. | |
Sie sprach zu ihr: Komm flieg mit mir. | |
Doch Heidi sprach: Ich war schon weg, Drum bleib' ich lieber hier. Da flog sie... | |
Da kam sie in den Schwarzwald, und was war denn da? | |
Da sprach ein Oberförster mit strohblondem Haar: | |
Du bist genau, die richtige Frau. | |
Du bringst mir die Pantoffeln für die Tagesschau. Da flog sie... | |
Sie kam nach Wanne-Eickel, und was war denn da? | |
Der kleine Hansi Heinemann, der einsam war. | |
Er sprach zu ihr: Ich flieg' mit dir. | |
Nimm diese Kaffeekanne als Geschenk von mir. Flogen sie... | |
25. Annie's Song

Come let me love you come love me again | |

| I'll be there to | make you feel | right, | | | |
If you're feeling sorry and sad, I'd really sympathize. | |
Don't you be sad, just call me tonight. | |

Call me tonight, and I'll come home tonight. | |
All you gotta do is call, | |
28. Apeman
| I think I'm sophisticated 'cause I'm living my life just like a | good homo sapiens. |
But | all around me everybody's multiplying and they're | walking round like flies man. |
So | I'm no better than the animals sitting in the | cages in the zoo man. |
Cause compared to the flowers and the birds and the trees | I am an ape | man. |
I think I'm so educated and I'm so civilized 'cause I'm a strict vegetarian. | |
But with the over-population and inflation and starvation and the crazy politicians: | |
I don't feel safe in this world no more, I don't want to die in a nuclear war. | |
I want to sail away to a distant shore and make like an apeman. | |
| I'm an apeman, I'm an ape, apeman, oh I'm an | apeman! |
I'm a | King Kong man, I'm a voodooh man, oh I'm an | apeman! |
'Cause | compared to the sun that sits in the sky, Com | pared to the clouds as they roll by, |
Compared to the bugs and the spiders and flies | I am an ape | man. |
| In man's evolution he's created the city and the | motor traffic rumble. |
But | give me half a chance and I'd be taking off my clothes and | living in the jungle. |
'Cause the | only time that I feel at ease Is | swinging up and down in the coconut trees. |
Oh what a life of luxury to | be like an ape | man. |
I'm an apeman, I'm an ape, apeman, oh I'm an apeman | |
I'm a King Kong man, I'm a voodooh man, oh I'm an apeman | |
I look out the window but I can't see the sky, The air pollution is a-fucking up my eyes, | |
I want to get out of this city alive and make like an apeman. | |
| Oh come on and | love me, be my apeman | girl, And we'll be so | happy in my apeman | world. |
I'm an apeman, I'm an ape, apeman, oh I'm an apeman | |
I'm a King Kong man, I'm a voodooh man, oh I'm an apeman | |
I'll be your Tarzan, you'll be my Jane, I'll keep you warm and you'll keep me sane, | |
We'll sit in the trees and eat bananas all day, just like an apeman. | |
I'm an apeman, I'm an ape, apeman, oh I'm an apeman | |
I'm a King Kong man, I'm a voodooh man, oh I'm an apeman | |
I don't feel safe in this world no more, I don't want to die in a nuclear war. | |
I want to sail away to a distant shore and make like an apeman. | |
29. At My Window
| At my window | watching the | sun go, | Hoping the | stars know | it's time to | shine. |
| Daydreams - | aloft on | dark wings, | Soft as the | sun streams | at days de | cline. |
| Living is sying | dying says nothing at | all. |
| Babe and I are lying here | watching the evening | fall. |
| Time flows - | through brave be | ginnings, | And leaves her | endings | beneath our | feet. |
Walk | lightly - | upon their | faces, | Leave gentle | traces | upon their | sleep. |
Living is dancing dyin's doin' nothing at all. | |
Babe and I are lying here watching the evening fall. | |
| Three dimes - | hard luck and | good times, | Bad rhymes and | fine lines | not much to | say. |
| Feel fine - | feel low and | lazy, | Feel grey and | hazy, | feel far | away. |
Living ain't lying dying ain't flying so high. | |
Babe and I are wandrin' watching the day go by. | |
30. Atlantis
| The continent of Atlantis was an island | which lay before the great flood |
In the | area we now call the Atlantic Ocean. |
| So great an area of land, that from | her western | shores, those beautiful sailors |
journeyed to the | south and the North Americas with ease, |
in their | ships with painted sails. | |
| To the east | Africa was a neighbor across | a short strait of sea miles. |
| The great Egyptian age is but a rem | nant of the At | lantian culture. |
| The antedeluvian Kings colonised the world; |
| All the Gods who play a part in the | mythological dramas in all legends |
from all | lands were from fair Atlantis. | |
| Knowing her fate, Altantis sent out ships to all corners | of the earth. |
| On board were the twelve, the poet, | the physician, the farmer, the scientist, |
the magi | cian, and the other so called | Gods of our legends. |
And as the elders of our | time choose to remain blind, |
| let us rejoice and let us | sing and dance and ring in the news. | |
| Way down below the | ocean, | where I wanna | be, she may | be! |
31. Auf der Hülle von den Rolling Stones
| Ich bring' die Massen zur Ekstase, hab' 'ne goldene Nase und alle Frauen finden mich | stark. |
Ich singe von Liebe und ich singe über Triebe am Abend für zehntausend | Mark. |
Ich werfe täglich einen Trip und dann bin ich ausgeflippt, | nur einen Wunsch hätt' ich | schon: |
Das ist das | Feeling, das Du kriegst, wenn Du Dich mal selber siehst |
Auf der Hülle von den Rolling | Stones. |
Rolling | Stones, hätt' ich nur ein Foto auf dem Futter, | schicke fünf Kopien meiner Mutter! |
| Oh, ich möcht' mich lächeln sehen - auf der | Hülle von den Rolling | Stones. |
Ich hab' 'ne tolle alte Dame. Gerda Wulf ist ihr Name. Die bringt meine Jeans auf Zack. | |
Ich hab' so'n alten Typ mit Glatze, der fährt meinen Cadillac. | |
Ich brauche nichts zu missen, habe seidene Kissen, nur einen Wunsch hätt' ich schon: | |
Das ist das Feeling, das Du kriegst, wenn Du Dich mal selber siehst | |
Auf der Hülle von den Rolling Stones. | |
Rolling Stones, hätt' ich nur ein Foto auf dem Futter, schicke fünf Kopien meiner Mutter! | |
Oh, ich möcht' mich lächeln sehen - auf der Hülle von den Rolling Stones. | |
Ich hab' 'ne tierische Menge kleiner, blonder Groupies, Die halt ich mir nur so aus Gag. | |
Ich hab 'nen genialen indischen Guru, der zeigt mir den neuen Weg. | |
Ich habe alle Freunde, die für Geld zu kaufen sind, nur eins kriegst Du nicht davon: | |
Das ist das Feeling, das Du kriegst, wenn Du Dich mal selber siehst | |
Auf der Hülle von den Rolling Stones. | |
Rolling Stones, hätt' ich nur ein Foto auf dem Futter, schicke fünf Kopien meiner Mutter! | |
Oh, ich möcht' mich lächeln sehen - auf der Hülle von den Rolling Stones. | |
32. Auf der Reeperbahn nachts um halb eins
| Silbern klingt und springt die Heuer, | Heut speel ick dat feine | Oos. |
| Heute ist mir nichts zu teuer, | Morgen geht die Reise | los. |
| Langsam bummel ich | ganz alleine Die | Reeperbahn nach der | Freiheit rauf. |
| Treff ich eine recht | blonde, recht | feine, Die | gabel | ich mir | auf. |
| Komm doch, | liebe | Kleine, | sei die | meine, | sag nicht | nein! |

Kehr ich heim im nächsten Jahre, Braun gebrannt wie'n Hottentott, | |
hast du deine blonden Haare Schwarz gefärbt, vielleicht auch rot. | |
Grüßt dich dann mal ein fremder Jung', Und du gehst vorüber und kennst ihn nicht, | |
kommt dir vielleicht die Erinnerung wieder, Wenn leis' er zu dir spricht: | |
Komm doch, liebe Kleine, sei die meine, sag nicht nein! | |
Du sollst bis morgen früh um Neune meine kleine Liebste sein. | |
Ist dir's recht, na dann bleib ich dir treu sogar bis um zehn. | |
Hak' mich unter, wir woll'n jetzt zusammen mal bummeln gehn. | |
Auf der - Reeperbahn nachts um halb eins - ob du'n Mädel hast oder hast keins, | |

Wer noch niemals in lustiger Nacht solchen Reeperbahnbummel gemacht, | |
ist ein armer Wicht, denn er kennt dich nicht, mein Sankt Pauli, Sankt Pauli bei Nacht. | |

33. It's all over now, Baby Blue
| | You must leave now take what you need you | think will last |
| But whatever you wish to keep you better | grab it fast |
| Yonder stands your | orphan with his | gun |
| Crying like a | fire in the | sun. |
| Look out the Saints are comin' | through |
And | it's all over | now, Baby | Blue. |
The highway is for gamblers, better use your sense | |
Take what you have gathered from coincidence | |
The empty handed painter from your streets | |
Is drawing crazy patterns on your sheets | |
This sky too, is folding under you | |
And it's all over now, Baby Blue. | |
All your seasick sailors, they are rowing home | |
All your reindeer armies, are all going home | |
The lover who just walked out your door | |
Has taken all his blankets from the floor | |
The carpet too, is moving under you | |
And it's all over now, Baby Blue. | |
Leave your stepping stone behind, something calls for you | |
Forget the dead you've left, they will not follow you | |
The vagabond who's rapping at your door | |
34. Baby Please don't Go
| Baby, please don't go, Down to New Orleans; |
Before I be your dog; Before I be your dog; | |

Turn the lamp down low, I beg you all night long, | |

You know your man done gone, You know your man done gone; | |
You know your man done gone, Down to Californ', | |
You brought me way down here, You brought me way down here; | |
You brought me way down here, 'bout to Rolling Forks, | |
Baby, please don't go, Baby, please don't go; | |
Baby, please don't go, Down to New Orleans, | |
I beg you all night long. | |

I hear the voice of rage and ruin. | |
Don't go round tonight, it's bound to take your life, | |
There's a bad moon on the rise! | |
Hope you got your things together. | |
Hope you're quite well prepared to die. | |
Looks like we're in for nasty weather. | |
One eye is taken for an eye. | |
Don't go round tonight, it's bound to take your life, | |
There's a bad moon on the rise! | |
| Don't go round tonight, it's | bound to take your life, |

37. The Ballad Of A Crystal Man
| Walk along and | talk along, And | live your lives quite | freely. | | | | |
But | leave our children | with their toys, Of | peppermint and | candy. | | | |
For | seagull, I don't | want your wings, | I don't want your | freedom, in a | lie. |
Your thoughts they are of harlequin, Your speeches of quick-silver. | |
I read your faces like a poem, Kaleidoscope of hate words. | |
For seagull, I don't want your wings, I don't want your freedom, in a lie. | |
On the quilted battle-fields of soldiers, Dazzling made of toy tin. | |
The big bomb, like a child's hand, Could sweep them dead just so to win. | |
For seagull, I don't want your wings, I don't want your freedom, in a lie. | |
As you fill your glasses, With the wine of murdered Negroes. | |
Thinking not of beauty that, Spreads like morning sun-glow. | |
For seagull, I don't want your wings, I don't want your freedom, in a lie. | |
I pray your dreams of vivid screams, Of children dying slowly. | |
And as you polish up your guns, Your real self be re-flecting. | |
For seagull, I don't want your wings, I don't want your freedom, in a lie. | |
Vietnam; your latest game, You're playing with your blackest Queen. | |
Damn your souls and curse your grins, I stand here with a fading dream. | |
For seagull, I don't want your wings, I don't want your freedom, in a lie. | |

39. Banks of the Ohio
I asked my | love,to take a | walk; Take a | walk, just a little | walk. |
Down be | side where the waters | flow; Down by the | banks | of the Ohi | o. |
And only | say, that you'll be | mine. In no others arms en | twine. |
Down be | side where the waters f | low, down by the | banks | of the Ohi | o. |
I held a | knife against her | breast, as in | to my arms she | pressed. |
She cried: " | Oh Willie, don't murder | me, I'm not pre | pared | for eterni | ty". |
And only | say, that you'll be | mine. In no others arms en | twine. |
Down be | side where the waters f | low, down by the | banks | of the Ohi | o. |
I started | home 'tween twelve and | one, I cried: "My | God, what have I | done? |
Killed the | only woman I | loved, because she | would | not be my | bride". |
And only | say, that you'll be | mine. In no others arms en | twine. |
Down be | side where the waters f | low, down by the | banks | of the Ohi | o. |

41. Behind Blue Eyes
| No one knows what it's | like, to be the | bad man |
To be the | sad man, be | hind blue eyes! |
| No one knows what it's | like to be | hated, | |
To be | fated, to telling | only lies! |
But my | dre | ams, they aren't as | empty | | | |
As my | conscience | seems to | be | | | |
I have | hours, only | lonely |
My love is | vengeance that's never | free |
No one knows what it's like to feel these feelings | |
Like I do, and I blame you | |
No one bites back as hard on their anger | |
None of my pain and woe, can show through | |
| When my fist | clenches | crack it | open |
Before I | use it and | lose my | cool |
When I | smile | tell me some | bad news |
Before I | laugh and | act like a | fool |
And if I | swallow | anything | evil |
Stick your | finger | down my | throat |
And if I | shiver please | give me a | blanket |
Keep me | warm let me | wear your | coat |
No one knows what it's like, to be the bad man | |
To be the sad man, behind blue eyes | |

In den Schatten der kleinen Blume | |
Bella ciao, bella ciao, Bella ciao, ciao, ciao! | |

In die Berge bringt mich dann! :| | |
Und die Leute, die geh'n vorüber, | |
Bella ciao, bella ciao, Bella ciao, ciao, ciao! | |
|: Und die Leute, die geh'n vorüber, | |
Seh'n die kleine Blume steh'n! :| | |
Und diese Blume, so sagen alle, | |
Bella ciao, bella ciao, Bella ciao, ciao, ciao! | |
|: Ist die Blume des Partisanen | |
Der für uns're Freiheit starb! :| | |
43. Belle Isle
One | evening for pleasure I | rambled to view the | fair fields | all a | lone. |
Down by the banks of | Loch Eiron where | beauty and pleasure were | known. |
I | spied a fair maid at her | labour which | caused me to stay for a | while. |
| And I thought of a | goddess of | beauty | bloomin bright | star of bright | isle. |
I | humbled | myself to her | beauty "Fair | maiden, where | do you be- | long? |
Are | you from | heaven de | scended a | biding in | cupids fair | throne?" |
"Young | man, I will tell you a | secret It's | true I'm a maid that is | poor. |
And to | part from my vows and my | promise Is | more than my heart can | endure. |
There | fore I re | main at my ser | vice And | go through all my hardship and | toil |
And | wait for the | lad that has | left me All | alone on the | banks of belle | isle". |
"Young | maiden I | wish not to | banter It's | true I come | here in dis | guise. |
I came | here to ful | fill our last | promise And | hope to give you a sur | prise. |
I've | known you're a maid I love | dearly And you've | been in my | heart all the | while. |
For | me there is | no other | damsel Than my | bloomin bright | star of belle | isle". |

45. Big River
Now I | taught the weeping willow how to cry, |
and I showed the clouds how to cover up a | clear blue | sky. |
And the | tears that I cried for that woman are gonna | flood you Big River. |
Then | I'm gonna sit right | here until I | die. |
I met her accidentally in St. Paul Minnesota. | |
And it tore me up ev'ry time I heard her drawl, Southern drawl. | |
Then I heard my dream was back downstream cavortin' in Davenport, | |
And I followed you, Big River, when you called. | |
Then you took me to St. Louis later on down the river. | |
A freighter said she's been here but she's gone, boy, she's gone. | |
I found her trail in Memphis, but she just walked up the block. | |
She raised a few eyebrows and then she went on down alone. | |
Now, won't you batter down by Baton Rouge, River Queen, roll it on. | |
Take that woman on down to New Orleans, New Orleans. | |
Go on, I've had enough; dump my blues down in the gulf. | |
She loves you, Big River, more than me. | |
Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry... | |
46. Bird on the Wire
Like a | bird on the | wire, like a | drunk in a midnight | choir, |
I have | tried in my | way to be | free. | | |
Like a | worm on a | hook, like a | knight from some old-fashioned | book, |
I have | saved all my | ribbons for | thee. | | |
| If I, if I have been un | kind, |
| I hope that you can just let it go | by. |
| If I, if I have been un | true, |
| I hope you know it was never to | you. |
Like a | baby still | born, like a | beast with his | horn, |
I have | torn every | one who reached out for | me. | | |
But I | swear by this | song and by | all that I have done | wrong! |
| I will make it | all up to | thee. | | |
| I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden | crutch. |
| He said to me, "You must not ask for so | much." |
| And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened | door, |
| She cried to me, "Hey, why not ask for | more?" |
Like a | bird on the | wire, like a | drunk in a midnight | choir, |
I have | tried in my | way to be | free | |

| Down came the tears from her happiness. |
Her | own little son named Johnny B. Goode - |
Was going to | make some motion pictures out in Hollywood. |
| Bye bye bye bye, | Bye bye bye | bye; |
| Bye-bye Johnny, | Goodbye Johnny B. | Goode! |
| She remembered taking money earnt from gathering crop |
And buying Johnny's guitar at a broker's shop. | |
As | long as he would play it by the railroad side - |
He | wouldn't get in trouble, he was satisfied. |
But | never thought there'd ever come a day like this - |
When she would | have to give her son a goodbye kiss. |
| Bye bye bye bye, | Bye bye bye | bye; |
| Bye-bye Johnny, | Goodbye Johnny B. | Goode! |
| She finally got the letter she'd been dreaming of |
Johnny wrote and told her he had fell in love. | |
As | soon as he was married he would bring her back - |
And | build a mansion for them by the railroad track. |
So | every time they heard the locomotive roar |
They'd be | standing and waving in the kitchen door. |
| Bye bye bye bye, | Bye bye bye | bye; |
| Bye-bye Johnny, | Goodbye Johnny B. | Goode! |
64. Bye Bye Love

I'd be safe and | warm | | | - | If I was in L. | A. | |

66. Calm After the Storm
| Driving in a fast lane - Counting | mile marker signs. |
| The empty seat beside me- | Keeps you on my mind. |
| Living in a heartache - Was never | something I pursued |
| I can't keep on chasing - | What I can be for you. |
| Ooooh - skies are black and | blue, |
Thinking about | you - Here in the | calm after the storm. |
| Tears on a highway - | Water in my eyes, |
This | rain ain't gonna change us - So | what's the use to cry? |

I just | wanna know if staying - Is | better than goodbye. |
| Ooooh - skies are black and | blue, |
Thinking about | you - Here in the | calm after the storm. |
| Ooooh - after all that we've been | through, |

Thinking about | you - Here in the | calm after the storm. |

68. Catch the Wind
In the | chilly hours and | minutes |
of un | certainty I | want to be |
| in the warm hold | of your | lovin' | mind. | |
To | feel you all a | round me, |
and to | take your hand a | long the sand, |
Ah, | but I may as well | try and | catch the | wind. | |
| De de de dee, de | De de de dee, de | De de de dee, de | Dee de | Dee |
When sundown pales the sky | |
I want to hide a while behind your smile | |
And ev'rywhere I'd look, your eyes I'd find. | |
would be the sweetest thing, t'would make me sing, | |
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind. | |
When rain has hung the leaves with tears | |
I want you near to kill my fears | |
To help me to leave all my blues behind. | |
is where I want to be and long to be, | |
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind. | |
69. Celia Of The Seals
Should you | wander this land to the | North, | | - And few | seldom | do, | | |
Should you | follow the song of the | gull | | - To enchanted | western | isles, | | |
Coax a | fisherman to take you | out | | - Where the | silky seals are | seen, | | |
Hear the | stories that they tell a | bout | | - The | maiden who is their | queen, |
The | maiden who is their | queen. | | |
| Celia of the | seals, | | - She | knows just how they | feel, - | Celia of the | seals. | | |
| |: | Oy, | Yada Noy, Yada Noya; | Oy, | Yada Noy, Yada Nay. | :| | | | | | |
Seal | hunters are not brave and | bold, | | - They murder her | poor wee | seals. | | |
And | cut off their skins to be | sold, | | - Cursed be | he who | deals. | | |
There's no | reason for this slaughte | ring, | | - They're | left on the | rocks to | bleed. | | |
He's | not a man who does this | thing, | | - It's a | cruel and a heartless | deed, |
A | cruel and heartless | deed. | | |
| |: | Celia of the | seals, | | - She | knows just how they | feel, |
| Celia of the | seals. | | - | Celia of the | seals. | | | :| |

Qui | vivent la | guitare à la main, du | soir au ma | tin". |
A | lors je t'ai ac | compagnée, on | a chanté, on | a dansé |

71. Child in Time
| | | | Sweet Child in time - | | | | You'll see the line. |
| | | | The line that's drawn between - | | | | The good and the bad. |
| | | | See the blind man - | | | | Shooting at the world: |
| | | | Bullets flying - | | | | Taking toll. |
| | | | If you've been bad, | | | | Lord I bet you have, |
| | | | And you've not been hit - | | | | By flying lead. |
| | | | You'd better close your eyes, | | | | And bow your head |
Sweet child in time - You'll see the line | |
The line that's drawn - Between the good and the bad. | |
See the blind man - Shooting at the world | |
Bullets flying - Taking toll. | |
If you've been bad, Lord I bet you have, | |
And you've not been hit - By flying lead. | |
You'd better close your eyes - And bow your head | |
And wait for the ricochet. | |
72. City of New Orleans
| Riding on the | City of New | Orleans, | Illinois Central, | Monday morning | rail. |
| Fifteen cars and | fifteen restless | riders, Three | conductors, and | twenty-five sacks of | mail. |
All | slong the southbound odyssey -- The | train pulls out of Kankakee |
And | rolls along the houses, farms and | fields. |
| Passing trains that have no name -- And | freight yards full of old black men |
And | graveyards of the | rusted auto | mobiles. |
| Good morning | America, how | are you? Say | don't you know me, | I'm your native | son. | |
I'm the | train they call the | City of New | Orleans, I'll be | gone five | hundred | miles when the day is | done. |
Dealing card games with the old men in the club cars, A penny a point, ain't no one keeping score. | |
Pass the paper bag that holds the bottle, And feel the wheels rumbling 'neath the floor. | |
And the sons of Pullman porters -- And the sons of engineers | |
Ride their fathers' magic carpet made of steel. | |
Mothers with their babes asleep -- Rocking to the gentle beat | |
And the rhythm of the rails is all they feel. | |
Good morning America, how are you? Say don't you know me, I'm your native son. | |
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans, I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done. | |
Nighttime on the City of New Orleans, Changing cars in Memphis, Tennesee. | |
Halfway home, and we'll be there by morning, Through the Misissippi darkness, rolling down to the sea. | |
But all the towns and people seem -- To fade into a bad dream | |
The steel rail still ain't heard the news. | |
The conductor sings his songs again -- The passengers will please refrain | |
This train's got the disappearin' railroad blues. | |
Goodnight America, how are you? Say don't you know me, I'm your native son. | |
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans, I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done. | |
73. Cold Cold Ground
| Crest fallen sidekick in an | old cafe |
never | slept with a dream before he | had to go away |
there's a | bell in the tower uncle | Ray bought a round |
Never | worry 'bout the army |
Now don't be a cry baby when there's wood in the shed | |
there's a bird in the chimeny and a stone in my bed | |
when the road's washed out they pass a bottle around | |
there's a ribbon in the willow and a tire swing rope | |
and a briar patch of berries takin' over the slope | |
the cat'll sleep in the mailbox and we'll never go to town | |
Gimme a Winchester rifle and a whole box of shells | |
blow the roof of the goat barn let it roll down the hill | |
the piano is firewood Times Square is a dream | |
I find we lay down together | |
Call the cops on the Breadloves bring a bible and a rope | |
and a whole box of rebel and a bar of soap | |
make a pile of trunk tires | |
and burn 'em all down bring a dollar with you baby | |
Take a weather vane rooster throw rocks at his head | |
stop talking to the neighbors till we all go dead | |
beware of my temper and the dog that I found | |
74. Colours
| Yellow is the colour of my true loves hair - |
in the | morning when we | rise; |
in the | morning when we | rise: |
That's the | time, that's the | time I love the | best. | | | | |
Blue is the colour of the sky-y-y - | |
in the morning when we rise; | |
in the morning when we rise: | |
That's the time, that's the time I love the best. | |
Green is the colour of the sparklin' corn - | |
in the morning when we rise; | |
in the morning when we rise: | |
That's the time, that's the time I love the best. | |
Mellow is the feelin' that I get - | |
That's the time, that's the time I love the best. | |
Freedom is a word I rarely use - | |
of the time, of the time when I've been loved. | |
75. Come Away, Melinda
| Daddy, | daddy, come and look! | See what | I have found |
| A little ways | away from here, |

| Why can't things be | the way they were | be | fore the war began? | |
| Come a | way Melinda. | Come in and c | lose the door. |
| The answer lies | in yesterday | before they had the | war. |
76. Coming into Los Angeles

| Could we ever | feel much | finer! |
| Coming into Los Ange | les, | Bringing in a couple of | keys- |
| Don't touch my bags if you | please Mr. | Customs | man! | |

| Walking in the hall with his | things and all, |
| Smiling said he | was the Lone | Ranger. |
| Coming into Los Ange | les, | Bringing in a couple of | keys- |
| Don't touch my bags if you | please Mr. | Customs | man! | |
| Hip woman walking on the | moving floor, |
| Tripping on the | esca | lator. |
| There's a man in the line and she's | blowing his mind, |
| Thinking that he's | already | made her. |
| Coming into Los Ange | les, | Bringing in a couple of | keys- |
| Don't touch my bags if you | please Mr. | Customs | man! | |

Well I | woke up this morning with a pain in my neck, A | pain my heart, and a pain my chest, |
I | went to the doctor and the good doctor said: |
You gotta | slow down your life or you're gonna be dead, |
" | Cut out the struggle and | strife, It only | complicates your | life." |
Well I | cut down women, I cut down booze, |
Stopped | iron' my shirts, cleaning my shoes, |
Stopped | going to work and stopped reading the news, |
Sitting | twiddling my thumbs 'cos I got nothing to do, |

" | Cut down the struggle and | strife, It's such a | complicated | life." |
Like | old Mother Hubbard I got nothin' in the cupboard, |
| Got no dinner and I got no supper, | Holes in my shoes I got holes in my socks, |
I | can't go to work 'cos I can't get a job, |
The | bills are rising sky | high, It's such a | complicated | life, |
| Gotta stand and face it, Life is so complicated |
Ladi dah di dah dah, Ladi dah di dah dah, Got to get away from the complicated life son! | |

Country | roads, take me | home, to the | place I be | long! |
West Vir | ginia mountain | momma, take me | home, country | roads! |

Country | roads, take me | home to the | place I be | long! |
West Vir | ginia, mountain | momma, take me | home, country | roads |

86. Das Katzentatzentanzspiel
| Guck, die | Katze tanzt al | lein, tanzt und | tanzt auf einem | Bein. |
| Guck, die | Katze tanzt al | lein, tanzt und | tanzt auf einem | Bein. |
Kam der | Igel zu der Katze: Bitte | reich mir deine Tatze! |
Mit dem | Igel tanz ich | nicht, ist mir | viel zu stache | lig. | |
Doch der Igel neigt sich vor, sagt der Katze was ins Ohr: ... | |
Und dann | tanzen sie zu | zwei'n, über | Stock und über | Stein |
Und dann | tanzen sie zu | zwei'n, über | Stock und über | Stein. | |
Und dann gingen beide heim. | |
|: Guck, die Katze tanzt allein, tanzt und tanzt auf einem Bein. :| | |
Kam der Hase zu der Katze: Bitte, reich mir deine Tatze! | |
Mit dem Hasen tanz ich nicht, ist mir viel zu zappelig. | |
Doch der Hase neigt sich vor, sagt der Katze was ins Ohr: ... | |
|: Und dann tanzen sie zu zwei'n, über Stock und über Stein :| | |
Und dann gingen beide heim. | |
|: Guck, die Katze tanzt allein, tanzt und tanzt auf einem Bein. :| | |
Kam der Dackel zu der Katze: Bitte, reich mir deine Tatze! | |
Mit dem Dackel tanz ich nicht, denn der tanzt so wackelig! | |
Doch der Dackel neigt sich vor, sagt der Katze was ins Ohr:... | |
|: Und dann tanzen sie zu zwei'n, über Stock und über Stein :| | |
Und dann gingen beide heim. | |
|: Guck, die Katze tanzt allein, tanzt und tanzt auf einem Bein. :| | |
Kam die Wildsau zu der Katze: Bitte, reich mir deine Tatze! | |
Mit der Wildsau tanz ich nicht, denn die grunzt so fürchterlich. | |
Doch die Wildsau neigt sich vor, sagt der Katze was ins Ohr: ... | |
|: Und dann tanzen sie zu zwei'n, über Stock und über Stein :| | |
Und dann gingen beide heim. | |
|: Guck, die Katze tanzt allein, tanzt und tanzt auf einem Bein. :| | |
Das Gespenst kam zu der Katze: bitte reich mir deine Tatze, | |
Mit dem Gespenst da tanz ich nicht, ist mir viel zu gruselig | |
Doch das Gespenst, das neigt sich vor, sagt der Katze was ins Ohr: ... | |
|: Und dann tanzen sie zu zwei'n, über Stock und über Stein :| | |
Und dann gingen beide heim. | |
|: Guck, die Katze tanzt allein, tanzt und tanzt auf einem Bein. :| | |
Kam der Kater zu der Katze, leckte ihr ganz lieb die Tatze, | |
streichelt sie und küßt sie sacht und schon hat sie mitgemacht. | |
Er bringt alle andern mit und schon tanzen sie im Schritt, | |
einmal laut und einmal leis und schon tanzen sie im Kreis. | |
Bis zum Abendsonnenschein und dann gingen alle heim. | |

89. Daydream
| What a day for a | daydream |
| What a day for a daydreamin' | boy |
| And I'm lost in a | daydream |
| Dreamin' bout my bundle of | joy |
| And even if | time ain't really | on my | side |
| It's one of those | days for takin' a | walk out | side |
| I'm blowin' the | day to take a | walk in the | sun |
And | fall on my | face on somebody's | new-mowed | lawn |
| I've been havin' a | sweet dream |
| I been dreamin' since I woke up to | day |
| It's starring me and my | sweet dream |
'Cause | she's the one that makes me | feel this way |
| And even if | time is passin' me | by a | lot |
| I couldn't care | less about the | dues you say I've | got |
| Tomorrow I'll | pay the dues for | dropping my | load |
| A pie in the | face for bein' a | sleepy bull | toad |
| And you can be | sure that if you're | feelin' | right |
| A daydream will | last 'til long | into the | night |
| Tomorrow at | breakfast you may | prick up your | ears |
or | you may be day | dreamin' for a | thousand | years |
What a day for a daydream... | |
90. Daydream Believer
Oh, I could | hide 'neath the | wings |
Of the | bluebird as she | sings |
The | six o'clock | alarm would never | ring | | |

Oh, you | once thought of | me |
As a | white knight on his | steed |
| Now you know how | happy I can | be. | | |
And our | good times start and | end |

94. Death of a Clown
My | makeup is dry and it | cracks on my | chin |
I'm | drowning my sorrows in | whiskey and | gin |
The | lion tamer's whip doesn't | crack any | more |
The | lions they won't bite and the | tigers won't | roar |
| La la la | La la la | La la la | La - So | let's all drink to the | death of a | clown |
| Won't someone help me to | break up this | crown - | Let's all drink to the | death of a | clown |

95. Dedicated Follower of Fashion
They seek him | here, they seek him | there; |
His clothes are | loud but never | square. | |
| It will make or break him so he's | got to | buy the | best: |
Cos' he's a | dedicated | follower of fa | shion |
And when he does his little rounds, | |
Round the boutiques of London town; | |
Eagerly pursuing all the latest fancy trends: | |
Cos' he's a dedicated follower of fashion. | |
Oh yes he | is (oh yes he is), oh yes he | is (oh yes he is)! |
He | thinks he is a flower to be | looked at, |
And | when he pulls his frilly nylon | panties | right up | tight, |
He feels a | dedicated | follower of | fashion. |
Oh yes he is (oh yes he is), oh yes he is (oh yes he is)! | |
There's one thing that he loves and that is flattery | |
One week he's in polka dots the next week he's in stripes | |
Cos he's a dedicated follower of fashion | |
They seek him here, they seek him there; | |
In Regent's Street and Leister Square. | |
Everywhere the Carnebetian army marches on: | |
Each one a dedicated follower of fashion. | |
Oh yes he is (oh yes he is), oh yes he is (oh yes he is)! | |
His world is built round discotheques and parties. | |
This pleasure seeking individual always looks his best: | |
Cos' he's a dedicated follower of fashion. | |
Oh yes he is (oh yes he is), oh yes he is (oh yes he is) | |
He flits from shop to shop just like a butterfly. | |
In matters of the cloth he is as flickle as can be: | |
Cos' he's a | dedicated | follower of | fashion | | |
He's a | dedicated | follower of | fashion. | | |
He's a | dedicated | follower of | fashion. / / | / / | / |
96. Delilah
| I saw the light on the night that I passed by her | window. |
| I saw the flickering shadows of love on her | blind. |
| She | was my | woman - | as she deceived me |
I | watched and went out of my | mind. | |
| My, my, my De | lilah. - Why, why, why De | lilah? |
I could | see that | girl Was not good for | me, |
| But I was lost like a | slave That no man could | free. | |
| At break of the day when that man drove away I was | waiting. |
| I crossed the street to her house and she opened the door. | |
| She | stood there | laughing, | I felt the knife in my | hand |
| My, my, my De | lilah, Why, why, why De | lilah? |
So be | fore they | come to break down the | door, |
For | give me, Delilah, I | just couldn't take any | more. |
For | give me Delilah, I | just couldn't take any | more. | | |
97. Der Cowboy Jim aus Texas
| Der Cowboy Jim aus Texas Der tags auf seinem | Pferd saß |
hat einen Hut aus | Stroh - und darauf saß ein | Floh. |
Jippi- | jeh, jippi- | jeh, jippi- | jeh, jeh, |
Der Floh tat Jim begleiten, Er hatte Spaß am Reiten; | |
Und ging der Jim aufs Klo, Dann tat das auch sein Floh. | |
Oft macht das Reiten Mühe, Jim hütet hundert Kühe. | |
Da kommt er oft in Schweiß Und ruft: Ach, was fürn Scheiß. | |
Am Tschikitschoba-See Ruft Jim sein Jippijeh. | |
Doch einst am Lagerfeuer Da wars ihm nicht geheuer. | |
Im ersten Morgengrauen Da wollt man Jim verhauen. | |
Man schlich zu Jimmy fix, der schlief und merkte nix. | |
Mmmh-Mmmh, mmmh mmh mmh mmh mmmh | |
Der Floh, der hört es trappeln Und tat sich gleich berappeln | |
Und stach als echter Floh Den Cowboy in den Po. | |
Der Jim stand auf und fluchte, Als er das Weite suchte. | |
So wars nichts mit Verhauen Im ersten Morgengrauen. | |
Der Cowboy Jim aus Texas Sitzt oft bei seiner Oma. | |
Und beide schaun sich dann im Fernsehn' Cowboyfilme an. | |
98. Der Hase Augustin
Es | war einmal ein Hase, der hieß Augustin und | lief unglaublich | schnell. |
Wenn | der so durch die Gegend lief und seine fixen | Haken schlug, |
dann | blieben alle | Leute stehn, um Augustin zu | sehn. |
| Seht mal wer da | rennt, seht mal, wer da | rennt, |
das ist wohl der | Augustin, das Naturta | lent. |
Augustin, der flitzte, sprang über manche Pfütze und aß gern Rosenkohl. | |
Doch kam der Gärtner angerannt, schon war der schnelle Hase weg, | |
der Gärtner stand im Rosenkohl und staunte gar nicht schlecht. | |
Dreimal Sapperment, dreimal Sapperment, | |
das ist wohl der Augustin, das Naturtalent. | |
Einmal kam ein Jäger, ein dicker, fetter Jäger, Herr Schlamm aus Düsseldorf, | |
der hatte sich 'ne Jagd gekauft und wollte jetzt auf Hasen gehen, | |
da kommt schon einer angerannt, Herr Schlamm hat ihn erkannt: | |
Herr Schlamm nahm seine Flinte, die knallte los und stank, | |
schon flitzt der Hase weg. Die Kugel hinterher doch der Hase war zu schnell, | |
die Kugel fiel in’n Dreck und Herr Schlamm, der schimpfte sehr: | |
Augustin war stolz, er trug die Nase hoch und einen Orden auch. | |
Er wurde Landesmeister gar im großen Zickzackdauerlauf | |
und bei der Ehrenrunde sangen alle Mann ganz laut: | |
Seht mal wer da rennt ... | |
99. Der Malocher
Die | Alte zuhaus war auch nicht mehr das, was sie | früher einmal | war. |
Schon | morgens saß sie | vor der Glotze, mit | Lockenwicklern im | Haar. |
Wenn er schlapp von der Maloche nach hause kam, | saß sie immer noch | da |
und sagte: " | Hier hast'n Korn, der bringt dich | wieder nach vorn." |
Und im | Fernsehn läuft der | Kommissar. |
Er | hatte die Schnauze von diesem Leben voll, | er wär so gern ausge | flippt. |
Und | mit solchen Gedanken hat er | dann nochmal | an seinem Glas ge | nippt. |
Und dann schmiss er's mit Karacho voll ins TV, | |
und schrie: " | Ihr glaubt wohl ich bin nicht ganz | dicht! |
Jeden | Abend Fusel schlucken und dann | in die Röhre kucken |
und dann | pennen und dann wieder zur | Schicht." (Chachacha...Huh...) |
Der Ma | locher aus 'm Ruhrgebiet, tat nun etwas, was sonst nur | selten geschieht |
schmiss seiner | Frau das Mobiliar vor die | Füße und sagte: " | Eh jetzt ist aber Schluß meine | Süße. |
Und | mit dem Lottogewinn, das haut ja doch nicht mehr hin. Komm Weib mach meinen Koffer | klar! |
Ich hau jetzt ab nach Paris, da ist das | Leben so süß. |
Da trink ich | Sekt im Alkazar und tanze | Chachacha!" | |
Er fuhr mit der Bahn, erster Klasse, nach Paris "Gare du Nord". | |
Er bestellte sich Champagner, den trank er aus der Flasche und kam sich ganz schön super vor. | |
Und als er dann da war und schon nicht mehr ganz klar war, da traf er ein charmantes Mädel. | |
Und am nächsten Morgen war er allein im Hotel, ohne Kies und mit 'nem schweren Schädel. | |
Der Malocher aus 'm Ruhrgebiet, tat nun etwas, was sonst nur selten geschieht | |
schmiss seiner Frau das Mobiliar vor die Füße und sagt: "Eh jetzt ist aber Schluß meine Süße. | |
Und mit dem Lottogewinn, das haut ja doch nicht mehr hin. Komm Weib mach meinen Koffer klar. | |
Ich hau jetzt ab nach Paris, da ist das Leben so süß. | |
Da trink ich Sekt im Alkazar und tanze Chachacha!" (Huh.) | |
100. Der musikalische Wasserhahn
Es | war einmal ein Wasserhahn, Der | tropfte pausen | los, |
Und jeder der ihn | hörte fand Den | Rhythmus ganz fa | mos. |
Er | tropfte nicht nur einfach so, Wie's | jeder Hahn ver | steht |
Sein Rhythmus war voll | Swing und Pep - Und | Musi | kali | tät. |
| Tipi tipi | tup tup, tropft der Rhythmus; Tipi tipi | tup tup, immerzu. |
| Tipi tipi | tup tup, tropft der Wasserhahn - Und | findet | keine | Ruh. |
Die Tassen applaudierten, und das Handtuch rief entzückt: | |
"Dein Rhythmus, lieber Wasserhahn, klingt ja total verrückt." | |
Die Messer und die Gabeln tanzten quietschvergnügt umher, | |
Und auch dem alten Suppentopf gefiel der Rhythmus sehr. | |
Tipi tipi tup tup, tropft der Rhythmus; Tipi tipi tup tup, immerzu. | |
Tipi tipi tup tup, tropft der Wasserhahn - Und findet keine Ruh. | |
Der Flötenkessel tanzte mit und pfiff die Melodie, | |
Die Teller klapperten im Schrank mit sehr viel Phantasie. | |
Die Töpfe schepperten im Schrank, die Gläser klirrten leis, | |
Der Abfalleimer rülpste laut und drehte sich im Kreis | |
Tipi tipi tup tup, tropft der Rhythmus; Tipi tipi tup tup, immerzu. | |
Tipi tipi tup tup, tropft der Wasserhahn - Und findet keine Ruh. | |
Da sprach die alte Küchenuhr, daß ihr der Takt gefällt | |
und hat ihr Ticken auf den Wasserrhythmus umgestellt. | |
Auf einmal geht die Türe auf, der Klempner kam herein, | |
der Wasserhahn wurd' repariert und lies das Tropfen sein. | |
Tipi tipi tup tup, tropft der Rhythmus; Tipi tipi tup tup, immerzu. | |
Tipi tipi tup tup, tropft der Wasserhahn - Und findet keine Ruh. | |
101. Der Pfeifer
Ich | ritt aus San Alfredo im | letzten Tages | licht |
| Vielleicht auch aus El | Paso, so genau weiß ich das | nicht. |
Seit 40 Tagen 40 Nächten | war ich auf der Flucht, |
in | jeder Stadt fand ich mein Bild da | runter stand: Ge | sucht. |
Sie | nannten mich den | Stillen und | flüsterten mir | nach, |
dass | wenn ich was zu | sagen hätte mein | Colt für mich | sprach. | | | |
Sie nannten mich den Pfeifer und meine Devise hieß, | |
wenn dir wer vor die Mündung kommt, erst pfeife, und dann schieß. | |
Warum ich pfiff das weiß ich nicht, weiß nicht mal wie ich heiß, | |
im Westen ist es niemals gut wenn einer zu viel weiß. | |
Ich weiß nur wo mein Lied erklang da wurden Bretter knapp, | |
weil jeder Schreiner wußte, daß es Arbeit für ihn gab. | |
Als ich nach Bloody Corner kam, sah ich schon von weitem her, | |
die Summe unter meinem Namen hatte zwei Stellen mehr. | |
Ein Prämienjäger sagte: "Pfeifer, ich wart schon auf dich!" | |
Ich fuhr herum, pfiff einen Ton, dann sprach mein Colt für mich. | |
Als wenig später im Salon mein 38iger spie, | |
da spielte der Mann am Klavier dazu die Melodie Am C Am G Am E Am | |
Die Ellenbogen aufgestützt, die Flügeltür im Blick, | |
stand neben mir ein Fremder, sehr glatt Rasiert und dick. | |
"Man nennt mich hier den Denker", so stellte er sich vor, | |
spie lässig in den Spucknapf und sagte mir ins Ohr: | |
"Wenn du 10.000 Dollar brauchst, dann hab ich einen Plan, | |
totsicher genial einfach!" dankbar nahm ich an. | |
Jetzt sitz ich hinter Gittern, von Zweifeln angenagt, | |
vielleicht war doch des Denkers Plan so gut nicht, wie er gesagt. | |
Er sagte: "das bringt dir 10.000,- Dollar wenn du’s wagst, | |
zum Sheriff ins Büro zu geh’n dich vor stellst und sagst: | |
Grüß Gott, ich bin der Pfeifer, komm selber wie ihr seht, | |
um die Belohnung zu kassieren die auf meinen Kopf steht". | |
Ich sitz auf meines Pferdes Rücken unter dem Galgenbaum. | |
Einen Strick um meinen Hals der Henker hält mein Pferd im Zaum. | |
Gleich gibt er ihm die Zügel und dann ist's mit mir vorbei. | |
Der Totengräber gräbt mein Grab und pfeift mein Lied dabei. | |
Scharfrichter tut seine Pflicht, mein Pferd setzt sich in Trab | |
Und unten Brüllt der Regisseur: "Verdammte Schlamperei, | |
nun ist der Ast zum 3. Mal abgebrochen, der Film ist auch gerissen, | |
also Kinder für heute ist Feierabend, die Leiche dreh'n wir morgen ab". | |
102. Der Tag des Herrn
Am | ersten Tag schuf Gott, der Herr, das Licht. |
Weiter kam der gute Mann trotz aller Allmacht leider nicht. | |
Den | Himmel nur am zweiten Tag, am dritten bloß das Land. |
Paar | Bäumchen grade noch, mehr bracht er nicht zustand |
Den | vierten Tag verbrauchte er für Sonne, Sterne, Mond. |
Tag Fünf für Fische und die Vögelein, da hat er sich geschont. | |
Am | sechsten Mensch und Rest der Tierwelt hingefummelt. |
Und den | siebten dann in seinem stolzen Übermut verbummelt. |
Was kann son | Gott nicht alles schaffen in | vierundzwanzig Stunden, |
aber | er hat sein Werk ja gleich für | gut befunden. |
| Legte sich zur Ruhe und | wollte nichts mehr wissen. |
Und wir | Geschöpfe sind jetzt gottseidank | ganz schön angeschissen. |
Wär | ich der Herr gewesen, dann wär die Welt nicht so. |
Die Menschen wären sattgefressen, friedlich, frei und froh. | |
Die | Blinden könnten sehn, und die Lahmen könnten gehn. |
Das bisschen | Arbeit, dass noch bliebe würd von selber geschehn. |
Saufen wär gesund und vom Singen könnt man leben. | |
Es hätte fraglos noch 'ne Menge zu verbessern gegeben. | |
Als | Gott muß man was rausholn aus seinem Potential. |
Da | muß man auch mal sonntags ran, aber ihn konnten ja alle mal. |
Was kann son Gott nicht alles schaffen in vierundzwanzig Stunden, | |
aber er hat sein Werk ja gleich für gut befunden. | |
Legte sich zur Ruhe und wollte nichts mehr wissen. | |
Und wir Geschöpfe sind jetzt gottseidank ganz schön angeschissen. | |
Im | Grund ist sein Versagen ja kein seltnes Phänomen, |
auch der Mensch, nach seinem Bild geschaffen, läßt sich gern mal gehn. | |
Schaut | stolz auf jeden Scheißdreck, den er produziert. |
Auch | wenn der Haufen stinkt, er lächelt fasziniert. |
Und er kann als der Schöpfer auf den ganzen Kosmos sehn. | |
Das funkelt ja so schön, wie sollts ihm anders gehn. | |
Den | siebten Tag beschließt der Herr zu verpennen |
und | ihn den Tag des Herrn zu nennen. |
Was kann son Gott nicht alles schaffen in vierundzwanzig Stunden, | |
aber er hat sein Werk ja gleich für gut befunden. | |
Legte sich zur Ruhe und wollte nichts mehr wissen. | |
Und wir Geschöpfe sind jetzt gottseidank ganz schön angeschissen. | |
Dies Lied | endet wie so manches mit einer Moral. |
Wir waren unserm Herrn von Anfang an ziemlich egal. | |

103. Diamonds on the Inside
| I knew a girl, | Her name was truth, - | She was a | horrible li | ar. |
| She couldn’t spend | | one day alone - But she | couldn’t be | satisfied | . |
| When you have | | everything - You have | every | thing to | lose. |
| She made herself | | a bed of nails, |
And she’s | planning on | putting it to | use. - |
| But she had | diamonds | on the | inside, - She had | diamonds | on the | inside, |
She had | diamonds | on the | inside, - | Di- | ia- | monds. |
| A candle throws its light into the | | darkness, |
In a | nasty world, so | shines a good | deed. |
| Make sure the fortune | | that you seek - Is the | fortune | that you | need. |
| Tell me why | | the first to ask - Is the | last to | give every | time. |
| What you say and | do not mean - | Follows you | close be | hind. |
She had | diamonds | on the i | nside, - She had | diamonds | on the i | nside, |
She wore | diamonds | on the | inside, - | Di- | ia- | monds - | Di- | ia- | monds. |
Like a | soldier long standing under | fire, - | Any change | comes as a re | lief. |
Let the | givers name remain un | spoken, - | She is just a | generous | thief. |
She had | diamonds | on the | inside, - She had | diamonds | on the | inside, |
She wore | diamonds | on the | inside, - She wore | di- | ia- | monds, - Oh, | di- | ia- | monds, |
She had | di- | ia- | monds, - She wore | di- | ia- | monds, - | Di- | ia- | monds. |
104. Caprifischer
Wenn bei | Capri die rote | Sonne im Meer ver | sinkt, |
und vom Himmel die bleiche | Sichel des Mondes | blinkt, | |
zieh'n die | Fischer mit ihren | Booten aufs Meer hi | naus, | |
und sie werfen im weiten Bogen die Netze | aus. |
Nur die Sterne, sie zeigen | ihnen am Firma | ment, | |
ihren Weg mit den Bildern, die jeder Fischer | kennt, |
und von Boot zu Boot das | alte Lied er | klingt, hör von | fern, wie es | singt: |
Bella, bella, | bella, bella Marie, bleib' mir treu, ich komm' zu | rück morgen früh'. |
Bella, bella, | bella, bella Marie, vergiss mich | nie. |
Sieh den Lichter | schein, draußen auf dem | Meer. |
Ruhelos und k | lein, was kann das sein, was irrt dort | spät nachts umher? |
Weißt du was da | fährt, was die Flut durch | quert? |
Ungezählte | Fischer, deren Lied von fern man | hört. |
Wenn bei Capri die rote Sonne im Meer versinkt, | |
und vom Himmel die bleiche Sichel des Mondes blinkt, | |
zieh'n die Fischer mit ihren Booten aufs Meer hinaus, | |
und sie werfen im weiten Bogen die Netze aus. | |
Nur die Sterne, sie zeigen ihnen am Firmament, | |
ihren Weg mit den Bildern, die jeder Fischer kennt, | |
und von Boot zu Boot das alte Lied erklingt, hör von fern, wie es singt: | |
Bella, bella, bella, bella Marie, bleib' mir treu, ich komm' zurück morgen früh'. | |
Bella, bella, bella, bella Marie, vergiss mich nie. | |
| Bella Mar | ie, | vergiss mich | nie. |
105. Die Diplomatenjagd
| Auf Schloß Hohenhecke zu | Nieder | lahr -- Es | hat so | eben ge | tagt -- |
Lädt | Freiherr Bodo, wie | jedes | Jahr, zur | Diplo | maten | jagd. |
Durch | Felder und Auen auf | haarige | Sauen, |
In Wiesen und Büschen den | Hirsch zu er | wischen, |
Den hat Freiherr Bodo für | teures | Geld |
Am | Vorabend | selber hier | aufge | stellt. |
Schon bricht es herein in Wald und Flur, das diplomatische Corps, | |
Die Ritter vom Orden der Konjunktur, zwei Generäle zuvor. | |
Bei Hörnerquinten, mit Prügeln und Flinten. Es folgt mit Furore ein Monsignore. | |
Selbst den klapprigen Ahnherrn von Kieselknirsch | |
- Trägt man auf der Bahre mit auf die Pirsch! | |
Es knallen die Büchsen, ein Pulverblitz, es wird soeben gesagt, | |
Daß Generalleutnant von Zitzewitz den Verlust seines Dackels beklagt. | |
Der Attaché Mehring erlegt einen Hering - Den tiefgefroren, die Kugeln durchbohren, | |
Noch in Frischhaltepackung, das ist unerhört! | |
Ein Keiler ergibt sich, vom Lärm ganz verstört. | |
Bewegt sich dort etwas am Waldesrand? Der Ahnherr sieht nicht mehr recht. | |
Das kriegt kurzerhand eins übergebrannt! Denn schießen kann er nicht schlecht, | |
Ja, ganz ohne Zweifel: Er schießt wie der Teufel! | |
- Man trägt ihn ganz leise bis dicht an die Schneise. | |
Man reicht ihm die Büchse, es prasselt das Schrot: | |
So findet der Außenminister den Tod. | |
Daß der Ahnherr daraufhin noch "Waidmannsheil" schreit, hat alle peinlichst berührt. | |
Ihm wird ein Protestschreiben überreicht, besonders scharf formuliert! | |
Doch muß man dem Alten zugute halten: Das war, bei Hubertus, ein prächtiger Blattschuß, | |
Und daß er das Wort Diplomatenjagd, | |
Nur etwas zu wörtlich genommen hat! | |
Die Nacht bricht herein, und Schloß Hohenhecke bietet ein friedliches Bild. | |
Der Monsignore segnet die Strecke von leblosem, greisem Wild. | |
Schon fast vergessen, will doch keiner essen: | |
Die Veteranen, die zähen Fasanen, Die Ente mit Rheuma, den Keiler mit Asthma. | |
Die Jagd wird begossen, und dann wird beschlossen: | |
Der Krempel wird, weil man hier großzügig denkt, Dem nächsten Armenhaus geschenkt! | |
So wird auch den Ärmsten der Segen zuteil: Es lebe das Weidwerk, dreimal Waidmannsheil! | |
106. Die Freiheit
Vor | ein paar Tagen | ging ich in den | Zoo | | |
| Die Sonne schien, mir war ums Herz so | froh |
Vor | einem Käfig sah ich Leute | stehn |
| Da ging ich | hin um mir das | näher anzu | sehen | |
"Nicht | füttern" stand auf | einem grossen | Schild | | |
Und " | bitte nicht reizen, da sehr | wild!" |
Er | wachsene und Kinder schauten | dumm |
| Und nur ein | Wärter schaute | grimmig und sehr | stumm | |
Ich | fragte ihn "Wie | heisst denn dieses | Tier?" | | |
"Das | ist die Freiheit!" sagte er zu | mir |
"Die | gibt es jetzt so selten auf der | Welt, |
| Drum wird sie | hier für wenig | Geld zur Schau ge | stellt, | |
Ich | schaute und ich | sagte "Lieber | Herr! | | |
Ich | seh ja nichts, der Käfig ist doch | leer" |
"Das | ist ja grade" - sagte er - "der | Gag! |
| Man sperrt sie | ein und augen | blicklich ist sie | weg!" | |
Die | Freiheit ist ein | wundersames | Tier | | |
Und | manche Menschen haben Angst vor | ihr |
Doch | hinter Gitterstäben geht sie | ein |
Denn nur in | Freiheit kann die | Freiheit Freiheit | sein. |
denn nur in | Freiheit kann die | Freiheit Freiheit | sein! |
107. Die Gedanken sind frei
Die Ge | danken sind frei, Wer | kann sie er | raten, |
Sie fliehen vorbei, Wie | nächtliche | Schatten. |
Kein | Mensch kann sie | wissen, Kein | Jäger er | schießen, |
Es | bleibet da | bei: die Ge | danken sind | frei! |
Ich denke was ich will Und was mich beglücket, | |
Doch alles in der Still', Und wie es sich schicket. | |
Mein Wunsch, mein Begehren Kann niemand verwehren, | |
Es bleibet dabei: Die Gedanken sind frei! | |
Und sperrt man mich ein Im finsteren Kerker, | |
Das alles sind rein vergebliche Werke; | |
Denn meine Gedanken Zerreißen die Schranken | |
Und Mauern entzwei: Die Gedanken sind frei! | |
Drum will ich auf immer Den Sorgen entsagen | |
Und will mich auch nimmer Mit Willen verklagen. | |
Man kann ja im Herzen Stets lachen und scherzen | |
Und denken dabei: Die Gedanken sind frei! | |
108. Die Gitarre und das Meer
| Jimmy Braun, das war ein | Seemann, |
Und sein Herz war ihm so | schwer, |
Doch es blieben ihm zwei | Freunde: |
Die Gitarre und das | Meer. |
| Jimmy wollt' ein Mädchen | lieben, |
Doch ein andrer kam da | her, |
Und als Trost sind ihm ge | blieben, |
Die Gitarre und das | Meer. |
| Juanita hieß das | Mädchen, |
Aus der großen fernen | Welt. |
Und so nennt er die Gi | tarre, |
Die er in den Armen | hält. |
| | (Juanita, Juanita) | | (Juanita, Juanita) |
| Ob am Kai von Casa | blanca, |
| Juanita hieß das | Mädchen, |
Aus der großen fernen | Welt. |
Und so nennt er die Gi | tarre, |
Die er in den Armen | hält. |
| Jimmy wollt' kein andres | Mädchen, |
Doch sein Leben war nie | leer, |
Denn es lieben ihn zwei | Freunde: |
Die Gitarre und das | Meer. |
109. Die Internationale
Wacht | auf, Verdammte dieser | Erde, |
die | stets man noch zum Hungern | zwingt! |
Das | Recht wie Glut im Krater | herde |
nun mit | Macht zum Durchbruch | dringt. |
Reinen | Tisch macht mit dem Bedränger! |
Heer der S | klaven, wache | auf! |
Ein Nichts zu sein, tragt es nicht | länger |
Alles zu | werden, strömt zuhauf! |
| | | : | Völker, | hört die Sig | nale! Auf zum letzten Ge | fecht! |
| | Die Inter | natio | na | le - | erkämpft das Menschen | recht. | : | | |
Es rettet uns kein höh'res Wesen, | |
kein Gott, kein Kaiser, noch Tribun, | |
Uns aus dem Elend zu erlösen | |
können wir nur selber tun! | |
Leeres Wort: des Armen Rechte, | |
Leeres Wort: des Reichen Pflicht! | |
Unmündig nennt man uns und Knechte, | |
duldet die Schmach nun länger nicht! | |
|: Völker, hört die Signale! Auf zum letzten Gefecht! | |
Die Internationale - erkämpft das Menschenrecht. :| | |
In Stadt und Land, ihr Arbeitsleute, | |
wir sind die stärkste der Partei'n | |
Die Müßiggänger schiebt beiseite! | |
Diese Welt muss unser sein; | |
Unser Blut sei nicht mehr der Raben, | |
Nicht der nächt'gen Geier Fraß! | |
Erst wenn wir sie vertrieben haben | |
dann scheint die Sonn' ohn' Unterlass! | |
|: Völker, hört die Signale! Auf zum letzten Gefecht! | |
Die Internationale - erkämpft das Menschenrecht. :| | |
110. Die Leiche
Es | schwimmt eine Leiche im | Teich, |
Mein Blick | fiel aus dem Fenster, ich | sah sie sofort. |
Es | schwimmt eine Leiche im | Teich, |
war's viel | leicht nur ein Unfall oder | war es ein Mord? |
Sie | schwimmt auf dem Bauch und von | hier sieht es so aus als | ob sie | döst, |
Ein | friedlicher Anblick, sie | wirkt fast ein bisschen er | löst. |
Es schwimmt eine Leiche im Teich, | |
Ich sitz auf dem Rasen, ein Hund läuft vorbei. | |
Es schwimmt eine Leiche im Teich, | |
Wahrscheinlich holt gleich jemand die Polizei. | |
Ich würde sie dir gerne zeigen, aber du bist nicht hier, | |
Bist plötzlich verschwunden, ich hoffe, dir ist nichts passiert. | |
Es schwimmt eine Leiche im Teich, | |
Ich sitze im Schatten und schaue ihr zu. | |
Es schwimmt eine Leiche im Teich, | |
Sie hat deine Figur und sie trägt deine Schuh. | |
Ich werde ein klein wenig traurig, warum nur? Ich weiß es nicht, | |
Ich glaube, ein bisschen erinnert sie mich an dich. | |
Es schwimmt eine Leiche im Teich, | |
Ob sie irgendwer sucht, ob sie jemand vermisst? | |
Es schwimmt eine Leiche im Teich, | |
Ich würd' dich gern fragen, ob du weißt, wer sie ist. | |
Ich warte seit Tagen auf dich und ich frage mich, wo du bleibst? | |
Ich gebe die Hoffnung nicht auf, dass du wenigstens schreibst. | |
Es schwimmt eine Leiche im Teich, | |
Ich hab mich gefragt, warum niemand was macht? | |
Es schwimmt keine Leiche im Teich, | |
denn ich grub ein Loch in die Erde in finsterer Nacht. | |
Ich trug sie ins Grab, sie war nass und so kalt, es war trotzdem schön. | |
Es war ziemlich dunkel, ich hab ihr Gesicht nicht geseh'n. | |
Und ich weiß zwar nicht, wo du jetzt bist, doch ich hoff' du vergisst mich nicht. | |
Denn bis du zurück kommst, so lang werd' ich warten - auf dich. | |
111. Die Moorsoldaten
| Wohin auch das Auge blicket, | Moor und | Heide | nur rings | um. |
| Vogelsang uns nicht erquicket, | Eichen | stehen | kahl und | krumm. |
| Wir | sind die Moorsol | daten und | ziehen mit dem | Spaten - ins | Moor. |
Hier in dieser öden Heide ist das Lager aufgebaut, | |
wo wir fern von jeder Freude hinter Stacheldraht verstaut. | |
Wir sind die Moorsoldaten und ziehen mit dem Spaten - ins Moor. | |
Morgens ziehen die Kolonnen in das Moor zur Arbeit hin. | |
Graben bei dem Brand der Sonne, doch zur Heimat steht ihr Sinn. | |
Wir sind die Moorsoldaten und ziehen mit dem Spaten - ins Moor. | |
Heimwärts, heimwärts jeder sehnet, nach den Eltern, Weib und Kind. | |
Manche Brust ein Seufzer dehnet, weil wir hier gefangen sind. | |
Wir sind die Moorsoldaten und ziehen mit dem Spaten - ins Moor. | |
Auf und nieder gehn die Posten keiner, keiner kann hindurch. | |
Flucht wird nur das Leben kosten, vierfach ist umzäunt die Burg. | |
Wir sind die Moorsoldaten und ziehen mit dem Spaten - ins Moor. | |
Doch für uns gibt es kein Klagen, ewig kann's nicht Winter sein. | |
Einmal werden froh wir sagen: Heimat, du bist wieder mein. | |
Dann ziehn die Moorsoldaten nicht mehr mit dem Spaten - ins Moor! | |
| Far and wide as the eye can wander, | Heath and | bog are | every | where. |
| Not a bird sings out to cheer us. | Oaks are | standing | gaunt and | bare. |
| We | are the peat bog | soldiers, | Marching with our | spades to the | moor. |
| Up and down the guards are marching, | No one, | no one | can get | through. |
| Flight would mean a sure death facing, | Guns and | barbed wire | block our | view. |
| We | are the peat bog | soldiers, | Marching with our | spades to the | moor. |
| But for us there is no complaining, | Winter | will in | time be | past. |
| One day we shall rise rejoicing. | Homeland, | dear, you're | mine at | last. |
| We | are the peat bog | soldiers, | Marching with our | spades to the | moor. |
112. Die Rübe
In ’ner Ec | ke vom | Garten hat der | Paule sein | Beet, und da | hat er sich | dieses Jahr | Rüben ge | sät. |
Und | da, wo sonst | Bohnen die | Stangen hoch | klettern, wächst | jetzt eine | Rübe mit | riesigen | Blättern. |
Paul | staunt, und er | sagt sich: Ei, | wenn ich nur | wüsst, wie | groß und wie | schwer diese | Rübe wohl | ist. |
Schon | krempelt er | eilig die | Ärmel | hoch, packt die | Rübe beim | Schopf und | zog und | zog. |
Doch die | Rübe, die | rührt sich kein | bisschen vom | Fleck. Paul | zieht, und Paul | schwitzt, doch er | kriegt sie nicht | weg. |
Da | ruft der | Paul seinen | Freund, den | Fritz, und der | kommt auch | gleich um die | Ecke ge | flitzt. |
Hau | ruck!, zieht der | Paul, und Hau | ruck!, zieht der | Fritz. Alle | Mann, nix wie | ran, ganz e | gal, ab man | schwitzt. |
Die | Rübe ist | dick, und die | Rübe ist | schwer, | wenn die dicke, | schwere Rübe | doch schon | rausgezogen | wär! |
Jetzt | zieh'n sie zu | zweit mit | Hallo und Hau | ruck, doch die | Rübe bleibt | drin, sie | bewegt sich kein | Stück. |
Und | Fritz, der läuft | los, holt vom | Nachbarn den | Klaus, zu | dritt kommt die | Rübe ganz | sicher her | aus. |
Herr | je, was ’ne | Rübe, ja da | staunt auch der | Klaus. Jetzt | ziehn wir ganz | fest, und dann | kommt sie schon | raus. |
Doch die | Rübe, die saß | drin, und da | sagte der | Klaus: Ich | hol meine | Schwester, die | ist grad zu | Haus. |
Hauruck!, zieht der Paul, und Hauruck!, zieht der Fritz. Alle Mann, nix wie ran, ganz egal, ab man schwitzt. | |
Die Rübe ist dick, und die Rübe ist schwer, wenn die dicke, schwere Rübe doch schon rausgezogen wär! | |
Jetzt | ziehn sie zu | viert, doch die | Rübe bleibt | drin. Der | Fritz meint | schon traurig: ’s | hat doch keinen | Sinn. |
Ganz p | lötzlich ruft | Paul: Hier, i | ch hab ’ne | Idee, wie | wär’s, wenn | wir mal zum | Antonio | gehen? |
Doch | da meint der | Klaus: So was | hilft uns nicht | weiter. Das | sind doch alles | Kinder von so | Gast | arbeitern. |
Mein | Vater sagt | immer, die | verschwänden viel | besser. Und | außerdem sind | das Spa | ghetti | fresser! |
Das | ärgert den | Paul, was der | Klaus da so | spricht. Der | Antonio ist | kräftig, und | dumm ist er | nicht. |
Und | außerdem, | Klaus, hast du | eins wohl | vergessen, du h | ast dich an | Spaghetti neulich | fast über | fressen. |
Wir | brauchen | Antonio und | auch seine | Brüder. Klaus’ | Schwester ver | steht’s, und sie | läuft schnell | hinüber, |
hat | alle geho | lt, und | gemeinsam ging’s | ran. Alle | Kinder zusam | men, die packten j | etzt an. | |
Hauruck!, zieht der Paul, und Hauruck!, zieht der Fritz. Alle Mann, nix wie ran, ganz egal, ab man schwitzt. | |
Die Rübe ist dick, und die Rübe ist schwer, wenn die dicke, schwere Rübe doch schon rausgezogen wär! | |
Den | Antonio zieht | der Carlo mit | Hallo und | Hauruck! Und | sieh da, die dicke Rübe, die | bewegt sich ein | Stück. |
Und | jetzt noch mal H | auruck, und die | Erde bricht | auf, die | Rübe kommt | raus und liegt | groß oben | drauf. |
Die K | inder, die | purzeln jetzt | all durchein | ander, doch f | reut sich ein | jeder nun | über den | andern. |
Sie | sehn, wenn man | so was ge | meinsam an | packt, wird die | alleedickste | Rübe aus der | Erde ge | schafft. |
113. Dirty Old Town
I | met my love by the gas works wall, Dreamed a | dream by the old ca | nal, |
| Kissed | my | girl by the fact'ry wall, Dirty old | town, dirty old | town. |
I heard a siren from the docks, Saw a train set the noght on fire, | |
Smelled the spring on the smoky wind, Dirty old town,dirty old town. | |
Clouds are drifting across the moon, Cats are prowling on their beat | |
Springs a girl from the streets at night, Diriy old town,dirty old town. | |
I'm going to make me a good sharp axe, Shining steel,tempered in the fire, | |
I'll chop you down like an old dead tree, Dirty old town,dirty old town | |
I met my love by the gas works wall, Dreamed a dream by the old canal, | |
Kissed my girl by the fact'ry wall, Dirty old town, dirty old town... | |
114. Donna Donna
| On a w | agon | bound for m | arket, | There's a | calf with a | mournful | eye. |
| High ab | ove him | there's a s | wallow | Winging s | wiftly t | hrough the | sky. |
| | How the winds are | laughing, They | laugh with all their | might, |
| Laugh and laugh the | whole day through, And | | half the summer's | night. |
| Dona, dona, dona, | donna; | Dona, dona, dona, | do. |
| Dona, dona, dona, | donna; | Dona, dona, dona, | do. |
"Stop complaining," said the farmer, "Who told you a calf to be, | |
Why don't you have wings to fly with, Like the swallow so proud and free?" | |
How the winds are laughing, They laugh with all their might, | |
Laugh and laugh the whole day through, And half the summer's night. | |
Dona, dona, dona, donna; Dona, dona, dona, do. | |
Dona, dona, dona, donna; Dona, dona, dona, do. | |
Calves are easily bound and slaughtered, Never knowing the reason why, | |
But whoever treasures freedom, Like the swallow has learned to fly. | |
How the winds are laughing, They laugh with all their might, | |
Laugh and laugh the whole day through, And half the summer's night. | |
Dona, dona, dona, donna; Dona, dona, dona, do. | |
Dona, dona, dona, donna; Dona, dona, dona, do. | |
115. Don't be Angry
| Don't be angry with me | darling if I | fail to understand |
All your | little whims and wishes all the | time. |
Just remember that I'm | dumb, I guess, like | any foolish man. |
And my | head stays sort of foggy 'cause your | mine. |
Well, I recall the | first time that I | flirted with you, dear, |
When I | jokingly said come and be my | bride. |
Now the time has turned the | pages, |
It's the | sweetest joke on earth: |
That I | have you here for ever by my | side. |
Maybe some day your gonna hurt me, I've been hurt in love before. | |
Only God can know and time alone will tell. | |
But in the mean time I'll keep loving you with all my heart and soul | |
And pray God to let it last if it's his will. | |
Don't be angry with me darling if I fail to understand | |
All your little whims and wishes all the time. | |
Just remember that I'm dumb, I guess, like any foolish man, | |
And my head stays sort of foggy 'cause your mine. | |

| If I seem | edgy, I | want you to | know, | That I never | meant to take it | out on | you. |
| Life has it's | problems and | I've got my | share, | That's one thing I | never meant to | do, 'cause I | love you! |
| Baby, don't you | know I'm just human, | And I’ve got thoughts like | any other one. |

117. Don't Look Back in Anger
| Slip inside the | eye of your | mind |
Don't you | know you might fi | nd | A better place to p | lay | / / | / / |
You said that you'd never been | |
But all the things that you've seen are gonna fade away | |
| So I start a revo | lution from my | bed |
Cos you | said the brains I | had went to my | head |
| Step outside, the | summertime's in | bloom |
| Stand up beside the fireplace |
| Take that look from off your face |
Cos | you ain't ever | gonna burn my | heart ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut |
| So | Sally can | wait, she | knows it's too | late as we´re w | alking on | by | / / | / / |
Her | soul | slides a | way, | but don't look | back in anger | I heard you | say |
Take me to the place where you go | |
Where nobody knows, if it's night or day | |
Please don't put your life in the hands | |
of a rock and roll band, who'll throw it all away | |
So I start a revolution... | |
But don't look | back in anger |
Don't look | back in anger! |
118. Don't Think Twice, It's All Right
It | ain't no use to | sit and wonder | why, babe, | if you don't know by | now. | |
And it | ain't no use to | sit and wonder | why, babe, | It'll never do, some | how. |
When your | rooster crows at the | break of dawn, |
| Look out your window and | I'll be gone. |
| You're the | reason I'm | travelling | on, But, | don't think | twice, it's all | right. |
And it | ain't no use in | turnin' on your | light, babe, | The light I never | knowed. | |
And it | ain't no use in | turnin' on your | light, babe, | I'm on the dark side of the | road. |
But I | wish there were something you would | do or say; |
| To try and make me change my | mind and stay. |
| We never | did too much | talkin' any | way. | Don't think | twice, it's all | right. |
No it | ain't no use in | callin' out my | name, gal, | Like you never done be | fore. | |
And it | ain't no use in | callin' out my | name, gal, | I can't hear you any | more. |
I'm a- | thinkin' and a-wonderin' | Walking down the road, |
I | once loved a woman, a | child I am told. |
I | give her my | heart but she | wanted my | soul, | Don't think | twice, it's all | right. |
So lo-o- | ong, honey | babe, | Where I'm bound, I can't | tell. | |
| Goodbye is | too good a | word, babe, | So I'll just say, "fare thee | well". |
I ain't | sayin' you treated | me unkind, |
You | could have done better, but, | I don't mind. |
| You just kinda | wasted my | precious | time, | Don't think | twice, it's all | right. |
119. Don't Worry, Be Happy
| Here's a little song I wrote, | You might want to sing it note for note, |
| In every life we have some trouble, | But when you worry you make it double, |
Don't | worry, be | happy. (Don't worry, be happy now.) |
| | | Don't worry, | be happy. | Don't worry, be happy. | |
| Ain't got no place to lay your head, | Somebody came and took your bed, |
| The landlord say your rent is late, | He may have to litigate, |
Don't | worry, be | happy. (Look at me - I'm happy.) |
| Here I give you my phone number. When you worry, call me, |
| Ain't got no cash, ain't got no style | Ain't got no gal to make you smile |
| 'Cause when you worry your face will frown |
And | that will bring everybody down, So |
Don't | worry, be | happy. Don't worry, be happy now. |
| | Don't worry, | be happy. | Don't worry, be happy. |
| | Don't worry, | be happy. | Don't worry, be happy. |
| | Don't worry, don't worry, | don't do it. | Be happy. |
Put a smile on your face. Don't bring everybody down. | |
| | Don't worry. | It will soon pass, whatever it is. | Don't worry, be happy. |
120. Down On the Corner
| Early in the evenin' | just about supper | time, |
over by the courthouse, they're | starting to un | wind, |
| four kids on the corner, | trying to bring you up, |
Willy picks a tune out and he | blows it on the | harp. |
| Down on the | corner, | out in the | street, |
Willy and the | Poorboys are | playin' bring a | nickel, tap your | feet. |
Rooster hits the washboard, and people just gotta smile, | |
Blinky thumps the gut bass and solos for awhile. | |
Poor-boy twangs the rhythm out on his Kalamazoo. | |
And Willy goes in to a dance and doubles on Kazoo. | |
Down on the corner, out in the street, | |
Willy and the Poorboys are playin' bring a nickel, tap your feet. | |
You don't need a penny just to hang around, | |
but if you got a nickel won't you lay your money down. | |
Over on the corner, there's a happy noise, | |
people come from all around to watch the magic boy. | |
Down on the corner, out in the street, | |
Willy and the Poorboys are playin' bring a nickel, tap your feet. | |

121. Dream a Little Dream of me
| Stars | shining bright a | bove | you; | Night breezes seem to | whisper: I love you. |
| Birds singing in the | sycamore tree: | Dream a little | dream of | me! |
| Say: | nighty night! and | kiss | me; | Just hold me tight and | tell me you miss me. |
| While I'm alone and | blue as can be: | Dream a little | dream | of | me! | |
| Stars | fading, but I | linger | on, dear; | Still | craving your | kiss. | |
| I'm | longing to | linger till | dawn, dear; | Just | saying | this... | |
Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you; Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you. | |
But in your dreams whatever they be: Dream a little dream of me! | |
Stars fading, but I linger on, dear; Still craving your kiss. | |
I'm longing to linger till dawn, dear; Just saying this... | |
Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you; Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you. | |

122. Drive My Car
| Asked a girl what she | wanted to be, |
| She said: baby, | can't you see? |
| I want to be famous, a | star on the screen, |
| But you can do something in between: |
| Baby you can drive my | car! |
| Baby you can drive my | car, |
I told that girl that my prospects were good, | |
And she said baby, it's understood; | |

But I can show you a better time: | |
Baby you can drive my car! | |
Baby you can drive my car, | |
Baby you can drive my car! | |
Baby you can drive my car, | |
I told that girl that I could start right away | |

But I've got a driver and that's a start | |
Baby you can drive my car! | |
Baby you can drive my car, | |

126. Eight Miles High
| Eight | miles | high, | and when you touch | down: |
| You'll find that it's | stranger than | known. | | | |
| Signs | in the | street | that say where you're | going |
| Are somewhere | just being their | own. | | | |
| No | where | is | there to be | found, |
| Among those | afraid of losing their | ground. | | | |
| Mean | grey | town | known for its | sound: |
| In places, | small places un | bound. | | | |
| Now | the | squares | of moving | storms: |
| Some laughing, | some just shapeless | forms. | | | |
| Side | walk | scenes | and black limou | sines: |
| Some living | some standing a | lone. | | | |
127. Ein Schiff wird kommen
| Ich bin ein Mädchen aus Pi | räus und liebe |
Den Hafen die Schiffe und das | Meer. |
Ich lieb das Lachen der Ma | trosen und Küsse, |
Die schmecken nach See, nach Salz und | Teer. |
| Es lockt der Zauber von Pi | räus, drum stehe ich |
Abend für Abend hier am | Kai, |
Und warte auf die fremden | Schiffe aus Hongkong, |
Aus Java, aus Chile und Shang | hai. |
| Ein Schiff wird kommen und das bringt mit den | einen, |
Den ich so lieb wie | keinen, und der mich glücklich | macht. |
Ein Schiff wird kommen und meinen Traum er | füllen, |
Und meine Sehnsucht | stillen, die Sehnsucht mancher | Nacht. |
Ich bin ein Mädchen aus Piräus und wenn eines | |
Tages mein Herz ich mal verlier, | |
Dann muß es einer sein vom Hafen, oh, | |
So einen Burschen wünsch ich fürs Leben mir. | |
Und später stehen meine Kinder dann Abend | |
Für Abend genau wie ich am Kai. | |
Und warten auf die fremden Schiffe aus Hongkong | |
Aus Java, aus Chile und Shanghai. | |
Ein Schiff wird kommen und das bringt mit den einen, | |
Den ich so lieb wie keinen, und der mich glücklich macht. | |
Ein Schiff wird kommen und meinen Traum erfüllen, | |
Und meine Sehnsucht stillen, die Sehnsucht mancher Nacht. | |
128. Einheitsfrontlied
| Und weil der Mensch ein | Mensch ist, drum braucht er was z | um Essen bitte sehr! |
Es macht ihn ein | Geschwätz nicht satt, | das schafft | kein Esse | n her. |
| Drum links, zwei, drei! Drum links, zwei, drei, | Wo dein | Platz, | Genosse | ist! |
| Reih dich ein in die | Arbeiter | einheits | front, | weil du auch ein Arbeiter bist. | |
Und weil der Mensch ein Mensch ist, drum braucht er auch noch Kleider und Schuh. | |
Es macht ihn ein Geschwätz nicht warm - und auch kein Trommeln dazu. | |
Drum links, zwei, drei! Drum links, zwei, drei, Wo dein Platz, Genosse ist! | |
Reih dich ein in die Arbeitereinheitsfront, weil du auch ein Arbeiter bist. | |
Und weil der Mensch ein Mensch ist, hat er Stiefel im Gesicht nicht gern. | |
Er will unter sich keine Sklaven sehen - und über sich keine Herren. | |
Drum links, zwei, drei! Drum links, zwei, drei, Wo dein Platz, Genosse ist! | |
Reih dich ein in die Arbeitereinheitsfront, weil du auch ein Arbeiter bist. | |
Und weil der Prolet ein Prolet ist, drum wird ihn kein anderer befrein. | |
Es kann die Befreiung der Arbeiter - nur das Werk der Arbeiter sein. | |
Drum links, zwei, drei! Drum links, zwei, drei, Wo dein Platz, Genosse ist! | |
Reih dich ein in die Arbeitereinheitsfront, weil du auch ein Arbeiter bist. | |

| Ah, look at all the lonely | people! | | | | | | | |
| Eleanor Rigby, Picks up the | rice in a | church where a | wedding has | been. | | | Lives in a | dream. |

| All the lonely | people, Where | do they all be | long? |

| Ah, look at all the lonely | people! | | | | | | | |
Father McKenzie, Writing the words of a sermon that no one will hear, No one comes near. | |
Look at him working, Darning his socks in the night when there's nobody there, What does he care? | |
All the lonely people, Where do they all come from? | |
All the lonely people, Where do they all belong? | |
Ah, look at all the lonely people! - Ah, look at all the lonely people! | |
Eleanor Rigby, Died in the church and was buried along with her name, Nobody came. | |
Father McKenzie, Wiping the dirt from his hands as he walks from the grave, No one was saved. | |
All the lonely people, Where do they all come from? | |
All the lonely people, Where do they all belong? | |
Ah, look at all the lonely people! - Ah, look at all the lonely people! | |

131. Er gehört zu mir
| Er gehört zu mir wie mein | Name an der | Tür! | Und ich weiss, er bleibt | hier. |
Nie ver | gess' ich unsern ersten Tag! ( | Nanana na | nana) |
Denn ich fühlte gleich, dass er mich mag! ( | Nanana na | nana) |
Ist es wahre | Liebe (uhu- | uu) die nie mehr ver | geht? (uhu- | uu) |
Oder wird die | Liebe vom Winde ver | weht? |

132. Eve of Destruction
| The eastern world | it is ex | plodin', | violence flarin', | bullets | loadin'. |
You're | old enough to kill | but not for | votin', |
You | don't believe in war, | what's that gun you're | totin', |
And | even the Jordan river has | bodies | floatin', |
| But you | tell me | over and | over and | over again my | friend, |
ah, you | don't believe we're | on the eve of de | struction. | / / / | / | / | / / / | / | / | |
Don't you understand, what I'm trying to say? Can't you see the fear that I'm feeling today? | |
If the button is pushed, there's no running away, | |
There'll be noone to save with the world in a grave, | |
take a look around you, boy, it's bound to scare you, boy: | |
But you tell me over and over and over again my friend, | |
Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction. | |
Yeah, my blood's so mad, feels like coagulatin', I'm sittin' here, just contemplatin'. | |
I can't twist the truth, it knows no regulation, Handful of Senators don't pass legislation. | |
And marches alone can't bring integration, when human respect is disintegratin', | |
this whole crazy world is just too frustratin': | |
And you tell me over and over and over again my friend, | |
Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction. | |
Think of all the hate there is in Red China! Then take a look around to Selma, Alabama! | |
Ah, you may leave here, for four days in space, But when you return, it's the same old place. | |
The poundin' of the drums, the pride and disgrace, | |
You can bury your dead, but don't leave a trace. | |
Hate your next-door-neighbour, but don't forget to say grace: | |
And you tell me over and over and over again my friend, | |
Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction. | |
133. Far Far Away
I've seen the | yellow lights go | down the Missi | ssippi | |
I've seen the | bridges of the | world and they are for | real | |
I've had a | red light off the | wrist without me | even | getting | kissed, |
it | still seems so un | real. |
I've seen the morning in the mountains of Alaska, | |
I've seen the sunset in the East and in the West, | |
I've sang the glory that was Rome and passed the 'Hound Dog' singer's home, | |
It still seems for the best. | |
And I'm | far, | far | away | with my | head up in the | clouds, |
and I'm | far, | far | away | with my | feet down in the | crowds, |
letting | loose | around the | world, | but the | call of home is | loud, still as | loud. |
I've seen the Paris lights from high upon Montmartre | |
and felt the silence hanging low in No Man's land, | |
and though those Spanish nights were fine, it wasn't only from the wine, | |
It still seems all in hand: | |
And I'm far, far away with my head up in the clouds, | |
And I'm far, far away with my feet down in the crowds, | |
letting loose around the world, but the call of home is loud, still as loud. | |
I've seen the yellow lights go down the Mississippi | |
The grand Bahama island stories carry on, | |
And though those alligator smiles, stay in your memory for a while | |
There still seems more to come: | |
And I'm far, far away ... | |
And I'm far, far away ... | |
134. Fare Thee Well, Miss Carousel
| | | | | | | | Well, the | drunken clown still | hanging 'round, But it's | plain the | laughters | all died down; |
The | tears you tried so | hard to hide are | flowing. |
| And a blind man with his | knife in hand Has con | vinced him | self that he | understands - |
I | wish him well, Miss Carousel, but | I gotta be a | going. |
| Won't you come and | get me when You're | sure that you don't | need me then |
I'll | stand outside your | window - And I | proudly call your | name! | |
Well the | lady's been told that | all her gold Is | worth so | much, she | can't be sold; |
No | time to weep, she'll | later sleep to | morrow. |
| When she carries her face to the | market place And | bets it | on the | open enrage - |
She can | ring her bells, Miss Carousel, but the | singing brings me | sorrow. |
Well it's | always done, every | mothers sun Is | surely | grown, and | never run; |
| So they fight with | all their might | inside them. |
| When the battles been fought 'n | they've all been taught That the | trick is | just not | being caught; |
| Will you give 'em hell, Miss Carousel, When they're | begging you to | hide them. |
Won't you come and get me... | |
When they | need a rose, your | eyes felt closed; You | clamped your | fingers ' | round your nose - |
| Would you say, that's any | way to | judge him. |
| Well you haven't got the | authority To | kill him | in the | first degree - |
But would you | feel compelled, Miss Carousel, If you had | something to | regret in. |
On a | velvet beach far | beneath the reach Of | those who | come to | pry and preach, |
The | natural man that tried to | stand is | falling. |
| Well how long will it be | before he sees: You | own his | legs but his | mind is free! |
Only | you can tell, Miss Carousel, How | long will he be | crawling. |
Won't you come and get me... | |
All the | castle walls | grown so tall, | Seems there | ain't no | hope at all - |
To | reach the top even | though you stopped your | breathin'. |
| But I ain't gonna try to | make you cry, The | teardrops | couldn't | find your eye, |
It's | all been swell, Miss Carousel, the | time has come for | leaving! |
Won't you come and get me when... | |
135. Father and Son
It's not | time to make a | change, just re | lax, take it | easy |
you're still | young, that's your | fault, |
there's so | much you have to | know |
Find a | girl, settle | down, if you | want, you can | marry |
Look at | me, I am | old, but I'm | happy | |
I was | once like you are | now, and I | know that it's not | easy |
to be | calm when you've | found something | going on | |
But take your | time, think a | lot, |
think of | everything you've | got |
for you will | still be here to | morrow, |
How can | I try to ex | plain, |
when I | do he turns a | way again |
It's | always been the | same, same old | story. | |
From the | moment I could | talk, I was | ordered to | listen |
now there's a | way and I | know that I | have to | go away. |
It's not | time to make a | change, just re | lax, take it | slowly |
you're still | young, that's your | fault, |
there's so | much you have to | go through |
Find a | girl, settle | down, if you | want, you can | marry |
Look at | me, I am | old, but I'm | happy | |
All the | times that I've | tried keeping |
| all the things I | knew inside |
It's | hard but it's | harder to i | gnore it | |
If they were | right, I'd a | gree, |
but it's | them they know not | me |
now there's a | way and I | know that I | have to | go away. |
136. Feelin' Groovy
| Slow | down, you | move too | fast. |
| You got to | make the | morning | last. |
Just - | | Kickin' | down the | cobble | stones, |
| Lookin' for | fun and | feelin' | groovy. | | | | | | | | |
Ba-Da-Da | Da-Da | Da-Da - | Feelin' | groovy | | | | | | | | |
| Hello | lamppost, | what' you | knowin'. |
| I've come to | watch your | flowers | growing. |

Ba-Da-Da | Ba-Da | Da-Da - | Feelin' | groovy | | | | | | | | |
I got | no deeds to | do, no | promises to | keep. |
I'm | dappled and | drowsy and | ready to | sleep. |
Let the | morning time | drop all it's | petals on | me. |
| Life, I | love you. | All is | groovy. |
Ba-Da- Da-Da Ba-Da Da-Da... | |
137. Fever
| Never know how much I love you, Never know how much I care. |
When you put your arms around me I get a | fever that's so hard to | bear. |
| You give me fever! | | When you kiss me; |
| Fever! When you hold me | tight! |
Fever - In the mornin' - Fever all | through the | night. |
Sun lights up the day time, Moon lights up the night. | |
I light up when you call my name And you know I'm gonna treat you right. | |
You give me fever! When you kiss me; | |
Fever! When you hold me tight! | |
Fever - In the mornin' - Fever all through the night. | |
Everybody's got the fever - That is somethin' you all know. | |
Fever isn't such a new thing - Fever started long ago. | |
Romeo loved Juliet - Juliet, she felt the same. | |
When he put his arms around her - He said: Julie, baby, your my flame! | |
Thou giveth fever - When we kisseth. | |
Fever! with thy flaming youth. | |
Fever - I'm a fire - Fever, yeah, I burn for sooth. | |
Captain Smith and Pocahontas - Had a very mad affair. | |
When her daddy tried to kill him - She said: Daddy, oh don't you dare! | |
He gives me fever - With his kisses; | |
Fever! When he holds me tight. | |
Fever - I'm his misses - Daddy won't you treat him right. | |
Now you've listened to my story - Here's the point that I have made: | |
Chicks were born to give you fever - Be it fahrenheit or centigrade. | |
They give you fever - When you kiss them; | |
Fever! If you live you learn. | |
Fever - Till you sizzle - But what a lovely way to burn. | |
138. Fields of Gold
You'll re | member me when the | west wind moves - upon the | fields of | barley, |
You'll for | get the sun in his | jealous | sky - as we | walk in | fields of | gold. |

140. First we Take Manhattan
They | sentenced me to twenty years of | boredom, |
For | trying to change the system from | within. |
I'm | coming now I'm coming to | reward them: |
| First we take Man | hattan, | then we take Ber | lin. |
I'm guided by a signal in the heavens. I'm guided by this birthmark on my skin. | |
I'm guided by the beauty of our weapons: First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin. | |
I'd | really like to live beside you, | baby. | |
I love your | body and your spirit and your | clothes, |
But you | see that line there moving through the | station. |
I | told you - I | told you - I | told you I was one of | those. |
You loved me as a loser but now you're worried that I just might win. | |
You know the way to stop me but you don't have the discipline. | |
How many nights I prayed for this: to let my work begin: | |
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin. | |
I don't like your fashion business, mister. I don't like these drugs that keep you thin. | |
I don't like what happened to your sister: First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin. | |
I'd really like to live beside you, baby. | |
I love your body and your spirit and your clothes. | |
But you see that line there moving through the station: | |
I told you - I told you - I told you I was one of those. | |
And I thank you for those items that you sent me. The monkey and the plywood violin. | |
I practiced every night and now I'm ready: First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin. | |
Remember me, I used to live for music. Remember me, I brought your groceries in. | |
It's Father's Day and everybody's wounded: First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin. | |
141. Five Hundred Miles
If you | miss the train I'm | on, you will | know that I am | gone. |
You can | hear the whistle | blow a hundred | miles. |
A hundred | miles, a hundred | miles, a hundred | miles, a hundred | miles, |
You can | hear the whistle | blow a hundred | miles. |
Lord I'm one, Lord I'm two, Lord I'm three, Lord I'm four, | |
Lord I'm five hundred miles away from home. | |
Away from home, away from home, away from home, away from home, | |
Lord I'm five hundred miles away from home. | |
Not a shirt on my back, not a penny to my name, | |
Lord I can't go back home this a way. | |
This a way, this a way, this a way, this a way, | |
Lord I can't go back home this a way. | |
If you miss the train I'm on, you will know that I am gone. | |
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles. | |
A hundred miles, a hundred miles, a hundred miles, a hundred miles, | |
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles. | |
142. Fly me to the Moon - In Other Words
| Fly me to the | moon and let me | play among the | stars, |
| Let me see what | spring is like on | Jupiter and | Mars. |
In | other words: | "Hold my | hand!" | | In | other words: " | Darling | kiss me!" | | |
| Fill my heart with | song, and let me | sing for ever | more, |
| You are all I | long for, all I | worship and a | dore. |
In | other words: | "Please be | true!" | | In | other words: | "I love | You!" | | |
| Fly me to the | moon and let me | play among the | stars, |

| You are all I | long for, all I | worship and a | dore. |

143. Folsom Prison Blues
I | hear the train a-comin'; it's rollin' 'round the bend, |
And | I ain't seen the sunshine since I | don't know when, |
I'm | stuck at Folsom Prison and time keeps draggin' | on. |
But that | train keeps a-rollin' on down to San An | tone. |
When | I was just a baby my momma told me: "Son, |
| Always be a good boy; don't | ever play with guns." |
But I | shot a man in Reno, just to watch him | die. |
When I | hear that whistle blowin', I hang my head and | cry. |
I | bet there's rich folk eatin' in a fancy dining car. |
They're | prob'ly drinkin' coffee and | smokin' big cigars. |
But I | know I had it comin', I know I can't be | free. |
But those | people keep a-movin', and that's what tortures | me. |
Well if they | freed me from this prison, if that railroad train was mine, |
I | bet I'd move it all a little | farther down the line. |
| Far from Folsom Prison, that's where I want to | stay. |
And I'd | let that lonesome whistle blow my blues a | way. |
144. For no One
Your | day breaks, your | mind aches, | You find that | all her words |
Of | kindness linger | on - When she no | longer needs you. |
She | wakes up, she | makes up, | She takes her | time |
and doesn't | feel she has to | hurry - She no | longer needs you. |
And in her | eyes you see | nothing - |
| No sign of | love behind the | tears - Cried for | no one. |
| A love that | should have lasted | years. | | |
You | want her, you | need her, | And yet you | don't believe her |
| When she said her | love is dead - You | think she needs you... |
And in her | eyes you see | nothing - |
| No sign of | love behind the | tears - Cried for | no one. |
| A love that | should have lasted | years. | | |
You | stay home, she | goes out, | She says that | long ago |
She | knew someone but | now he's gone - She | doesn't need him. |
Your | day breaks, your | mind aches, | There will be | time |
When all the | things she said will | fill your head - you | won't forget her. |
And in her | eyes you see | nothing - |
| No sign of | love behind the | tears - Cried for | no one. |
| A love that | should have lasted | years. | | |
145. For Your Love
| I'd give you | everything and | more and that's for | sure. (For your love) |
| I'd bring you | diamond rings and | things right to your | door. (For your love) |
| To thrill you | with delight, | I'd give you | diamonds bright! |
| Double takes I | will excite, | make you dream of | me at night! |
For your | loo- | oo- | oo- | oove - For your | loo- | oo- | oo- | oove |
For your | love, for your love I would | give the stars | above! |
For your | love, for your love I would | give you all I | could. | |
| I'd give the | moon if it | were mine to | give (For your love) |
| I'd give the | stars and the | sun for I | live (For your love) |
For your loo-oo-oo-oove - For your loo-oo-oo-oove | |
146. Forever Young
| May God bless and keep you always; |
May your | wishes all come true; |
May you | always do for others, |
And let others do for | you. |
May you build a ladder to the stars, | |
May you | stay | - forever | young. |
Forever | young, forever | young. |
May you | stay | - | forever | young. |
May you grow up to be righteous; | |
May you | grow up to be true; |
May you | always know the truth, |
And see the light surrounding | you. |
May you always be courageous; | |
Stand | upright and be strong, |
And may you | stay | - forever | young. |
Forever | young, forever | young. |
May you | stay | - | forever | young. |
May your hands always be busy; | |
May your | feet always be swift; |
May you | have a strong foundation, |
When the winds of changes | shift. |
May your heart always be joyful; | |
May your | song always be sung, |
And may you | stay | - forever | young |
Forever | young, forever | young. |
May you | stay | - | forever | young. |
147. Four Strong Winds
Four strong winds that blow lonely, seven seas that run high, | |
All these things that won't change, come what may. | |
Well our good times all are gone, and I'm bound for movin' on, | |
I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way. | |
Think I'll go down to Alberta, weather's good there in the fall, | |
Got some friends that I could go to workin' for. | |
Still I wish you'd change your mind, if I asked you one more time, | |
But we've been through that a hundred times or more. | |
Four strong winds that blow lonely, seven seas that run high, | |
All these things that won't change, come what may. | |
Well our good times all are gone, and I'm bound for movin' on, | |
I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way. | |
If I get there 'fore the snow flies, and if things are goin' good, | |
You could meet me if I sent you down the fare. | |
But by then it would be winter, not much for you to do, | |
And those winds sure blow cold, way out there. | |
Four strong winds that blow lonely, seven seas that run high, | |
All these things that won't change, come what may. | |
Well our good times all are gone, and I'm bound for movin' on, | |
I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way. | |
148. Fox On The Run
She | walked through the | corn leading | down to the | river, |
Her | hair shone like | gold in the | hot morning | sun. |
She | took all the | love that a | poor boy could | give her, |
And | left me to | die like the | fox on the | run. |
Like the | fox (like the fox, like the fox) on the | run. | | | |
| Everybody | knows the | reason for the | fall: |
When | woman tempted | man down in | paradise's | hall. |
This | woman tempted | me, all yes, then | took me for a | ride; |
But | like the weary | fox I | need a place to | hide! |
She | walked through the | corn leading | down to the | river, |
Her | hair shone like | gold in the | hot morning | sun. |
She | took all the | love that a | poor boy could | give her, |
And | left me to | die like the | fox on the | run. |
Like the | fox (like the fox, like the fox) on the | run. | | | |
Come | take a glass of | wine and | fortify your | soul. |
We'll | talk about the | world and | friends we used to | know. |
I'll | illustrate, a | girl | who put me on the | floor. |
The | game is nearly up, the | hounds are | at my | door! |
I saw her | walk through the | corn leading | down to the | river, |
Her | hair shone like | gold in the | hot morning | sun. |
She | took all the | love that a | poor boy could | give her, |
And | left me to | die like the | fox on the | run. |
You know - she | walked through the | corn leading | down to the | river, |
Her | hair shone like | gold in the | hot morning | sun. |
She | took all the | love that a | poor boy could | give her, |
Like the | fox (like the fox, like the fox) on the | run. | | | |
149. Free Fallin'
She's a | good | girl, | loves | her | mama; |
Loves | Je | sus and | Ameri | ca | too. |
She's a | good | girl, | crazy ' | bout | Elvis; |
Loves | hors | es and her | boy - | friend | too. |
It's a | long | day | livin' | in Re | seda. |
There's a | free | way run | nin' | through the | yard. |
And i'm a | bad | boy, cause I | don't | even | miss her |
I'm a | bad | boy for | breakin' | her | heart |
Now I'm | free- | e- | e- | e - free | fall- | i- | i- | in'! |
Yeah I'm | free- | e- | e- | e - free | fall- | i- | i- | in'! |
All the vampires walkin' through the valley | |
Move west down Ventura Boulevard. | |
All the bad boys are standing in the shadows | |
And the good girls are home with broken hearts. | |
Now I'm free - free fall-in'! | |
Yeah I'm free - free fall-in'! | |
I wanna glide down over Mulholland. | |
I wanna write her name in the sky. | |
Gonna free fall out into nothin'. | |
Gonna leave this world for a while. | |
And I'm free - free fallin - now I'm, free fallin. | |
Free fall-in' - free fallin - now I'm, free fallin. | |
Yeah I'm free - free fallin - now I'm, free fallin. | |
Free fall-in' - free fallin - now I'm, free fallin. | |
150. Friday On My Mind
Monday morning feels so | bad | - | Everybody seems to | nag | me |
| Comin' Tuesday I feel | better - | Even my old man looks | good |
| Wednesday goes too slow - | Thursday just don't go |
| I'm gonna have fun in the | city |
| Be with my girl she's so | pretty |
| She looks fine tonight - | She is out of sight to | me |
(To | night) I'll spend my bread - (To | night) I'll lose my head |
(To | night) I've got to get - To | ni-i- | ight |
| Monday I've got | Friday on my | mind | |
Do the night-day grind once more - I know of nothing else that bores me | |
More than working for the rich man - Hey I'll change that scene one day | |
Today I might be mad - Tomorrow I'll be glad | |
I'll have Friday on my mind | |
151. Friend Of The Devil
| I lit | out from | Reno | I was | trailed by | twenty | hounds. | |
| Didn't | get to | sleep that | night 'til the | morning | came a | round. | |
| Set out running but I take my time - | A friend of the devil is a friend of mine. |
| If I get home before day light - | I just might get some sleep to | night. |
Ran into the devil, babe, he loaned me twenty bills. | |
Spent the night in Utah in a cave up in the hills. | |
Set out running but I take my time - A friend of the devil is a friend of mine. | |
If I get home before day light - I just might get some sleep tonight. | |
Ran down to the levee but the devil caught me there; | |
Took my twenty dollar bill and vanished in the air. | |
Set out running but I take my time - A friend of the devil is a friend of mine. | |
If I get home before day light - I just might get some sleep tonight. | |
| Got two reasons why I cry away each lonely night: |
The | first one's named Sweet Anne Marie and she's my heart's delight! |
| Second one is prison, babe, the sheriff's on my trail! |
And | if he catches up with me I'll | spend my life in | jail! |
Got a wife in Chino, babe, and one in Cherokee, | |
First one says she's got my child but it don't look like me. | |
Set out running but I take my time - A friend of the devil is a friend of mine. | |
If I get home before day light - I just might get some sleep tonight. | |
...I just might get some sleep tonight. | |
152. From Hank to Hendrix
| From Hank to | Hendrix, I | walked these streets with | you. |
| Here I am with this | old guitar, | doing what I | do. |
| I always ex | pected that | you would see me | through. |
| I never believed in | much, but | I believed in | you. | |
| Can we get it together, can we | still stand side by | side. |
| Can we make it last, | like a musical | ride? |
| From Marilyn to | Madonna, I | always loved your | smile, |
| Now we're headed for the | big divorce, | California | style. |
| I found myself | singin' | like a long lost | friend |
| The same thing that | makes you live can | kill you in the | end. | |
| Can we get it together, can we | still stand side by | side. |
| Can we make it last, | like a musical | ride? |
| Sometimes it's dis | torted | not clear to | you. |
| Sometimes the | beauty of love just | comes ringin' | through. |
| New glass in the | window, | new leaf on the | tree, |
| new distance | between us | you and | me. | |
| Can we get it together, can we | still stand side by | side. |
| Can we make it last, | like a musical | ride? |
153. Further On Up The Road
Where the road is | dark And the seed is | sewed; |
Where the gun is | cocked As the bullet's | cold. |
Where the miles are | marked | In the blood and the | gold: | |
And I'll | meet you further | on up the | road. |
Got on my dead man | suit And my smilin' skull | ring; |
My lucky graveyard | boots And a song to | sing. |
I got a song to | sing | That keeps me out of the c | old; | |
And I'll | meet you further | on up the r | oad. |
Further on up the | road - Further on up the | road. |
Where the way is | dark - And the night is | cold. |
One sunny | mornin' | - We'll rise I | know: | |
And I'll | meet you further | on up the | road! |
Now I've been out in the | desert Just doin' my | time. |
Searchin' through the | dust Lookin' for a | sign. |
If there's a light up | ahead Well brother I don't | know; | |
But I've | got this fever | burnin' in my | soul. |
Further on up the | road - Further on up the | road. |
Where the way is | dark - And the night is | cold. |
One sunny | mornin' | - We'll rise I | know: | |
And I'll | meet you further | on up the | road! |
154. Games People Play
| La-da da da da da da da La-da da | da da da de |
La-da da | da da da | La-da da | da |
| Oh, the games people play, now, every night and every | day, now, |
Never meaning what they | say now, | never saying what they | mean. |
While they wile away the hours in their ivory | towers, |
Till they're covered up with | flowers, | In the back of a black limou | sine. |
| La-da da da da da da da; La-da da | da da da de; |
Talking 'bout | you and me, | and the games people | play, now! |
Oh, we make one another cry, break a heart then we say goodbye, | |
Cross our hearts and we hope to die, that the other was to blame. | |
Neither one will ever give in, so we gaze at our eight by ten; | |
Thinking 'bout the things that might have been, it's a dirty rotten shame. | |
La-da da da da da da da; La-da da da da da de; | |
Talking 'bout you and me, and the games people play, now! | |
People walking up to you, singing glory halleluja, | |
And they're tryin to sock it to ya, in the name of the Lord. | |
They're gonna teach you how to meditate, read your horoscope, cheat your faith, | |
And further more to hell with hate, come on and get on board. | |
La-da da da da da da da; La-da da da da da de; | |
Talking 'bout you and me, and the games people play, now! | |
Look around tell me what you see, what's happening to you and me, | |
God grant me the serenity, to just remember who I am, woah! | |
Cause you've given up your sanity, for your pride and your vanity, | |
Turn your back on humanity, and you don't give a da da da da da. | |
La-da da da da da da da; La-da da da da da de; | |
Talking 'bout you and me, and the games people play, now! | |
155. Geld
| Geld macht nicht | glücklich, es be | ruhigt nur die | Nerven |
Und man | muß es schon be | sitzen, um's zum | Fenster rauszu | werfen. |
Und wenn | ich das große | Los zieh und's geht | nicht gleich alles | drauf, |
mach ich | an der nächsten | Ecke 'ne | Lottobude auf! |
| Geld! (Manche | haben's, | manche haben's | nicht.) |
Gib mir 'n bißchen | Geld! (Aber ich werd einfach | sauer, | wenn ich kein's | krieg.) |
Vor den Leuten, die Geld sammeln, kann man eigentlich nur warnen, | |
denn noch nicht mal Samt und Seide können ihre Pferdefüße tarnen. | |
Und wenn ich das große Los zieh, geb' ich sicher alles aus, | |
für Platin, Gold und Aktien und'n supergroßes Haus. (mit Swimmingpool) | |
Gib mir 'n bißchen Geld! (manche haben's nicht) | |
Ich brauch Geld! (Aber ich werd' einfach sauer) | |
Jede Menge Geld! (wenn ich kein's krieg) | |
Die Moral von der Geschichte soll die Reichen jetzt erreichen, | |
vielleicht lässt sich ja der eine oder andere mal erweichen. | |
Denn mein Bankdirektor hungert, die Gerichtsvollzieher weinen, | |
vielleicht schickt mir ja ein netter Millionär mal ein paar Scheine. (Ich sammle nämlich Scheine.) | |
Gib mir 'n bißchen Geld! (manche haben's nicht) | |
Ich brauch Geld! (Aber ich werd' einfach sauer) | |
Jede Menge Geld! (wenn ich kein's krieg) | |
(Aber ich werd' einfach sauer) | |
Geld macht nicht glücklich, es beruhigt nur die Nerven | |
und man muß es schon besitzen, um's zum Fenster rauszuwerfen. | |
Und man kann bekanntlich alles außer Liebe dafür kaufen, | |
doch der beste Weg von allen is'es einfach zu versaufen. | |
Gib mir 'n bißchen Geld! (manche haben's nicht) | |
Ich brauch Geld! (Aber ich werd' einfach sauer) | |
Gib mir 'n bisschen Menge Geld! (wenn ich kein's krieg) | |
Gib mir 'n bißchen Geld! (manche haben's nicht) | |
Ich brauch Geld! (Aber ich werd' einfach sauer) | |
Gib mir 'n bisschen Menge Geld! (wenn ich kein's krieg) | |
(Aber ich werd' einfach sauer) | |

They said, "Join us in the summer, we'll forget you in the fall." | |
Get thee behind me, Satan, travel on down the line. | |

If anyone should ask you your union to sell, | |

Get thee behind me, Satan, travel on down the line. | |
I am a union man, gonna leave you behind. | |
157. Get Off Of My Cloud
I | live in an | apparmtent on the | ninety-ninth | floor of my | block | |
I | sit at home lookin' | out my window i | magining the world has | stopped | |
Then | in flies a | guy who's all dressed | up just like a Union | Jack | |
He | says "I'd 've won five | pounds if I | had this kind of detergent | pack" | |
Said I " | Hey | you get | off of my | cloud |
| Hey | you get | off of my | cloud |
| Hey | you get | off of my | cloud |

He says "It's three a.m. there's too much noise don't you people want to go to bed? | |
Just cause you feel so good, do you have to drive me out of my head?" | |
I was sick and tired, fed up with things and decided to take a drive down town. | |
It was so very quiet and peaceful, there was nobody, not a soul around. | |
I laid myself down, I was so tired and I started to dream. | |
In the morning the parking tickets were just like flags stuck on my windscreen! | |
158. Ghost Riders In The Sky
An | old cowboy went ridin' out one | dark and windy day. |
U | pon a ridge he rested as he | went along his way. |
| When all at once a mighty herd of red eyed cows he saw: |
| Plowin' through the ragged skies, and | up a cloudy draw. |
| Their brands were still on fire and their | hoofs were made of steel. |
Their | horns were black and shiny and their hot | breath he could feel. |
A | bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky; |
For he | saw the riders comin' hard, and he heard their mournful cry: |
| Yippie-I- | ay, | yippie-I- | oh -- The | ghost riders in the | sky! |
Their | faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, their | shirts all soaked with sweat. |
He's | ridin' hard to catch that herd, but he | ain't caught 'em yet'. |
'Cause they | got to ride forever on that range up in the sky, |
On | horses snorting fire as they | ride on hear their cry! |
As the | riders loped on by him he | heard one call his name: |
"If you | wanna to save your soul from hell a- | ridin' on our range, |
Then | cowboy change your ways today, or with us you will ride, |
Tryin' to | catch the devil's herd a | cross these endless skies!" |
Yippie-I-ay, yippie-I-oh - Ghost riders in the sky (3x)... | |
159. Girl
Is there | anybody | going to listen | to my | story |
| all about the | girl who came to | stay? | | |
She's the | kind of girl you | want so much it | makes you | sorry |
| Still, you don't re | gret a single | day. | | |
When I think of all the times I've tried so hard to leave her, | |
She will turn to me and start to cry. | |
And she promises the earth to me and I believe her, | |
after all this time I don't know why. | |
| She's the kind of girl who puts you | down when friends are there, you feel a | fool. | | | | |
| When you say she's looking good she | acts as if it's understood. | She's coo-oo- | ool! |
Was she told when she was young that pain would lead to pleasure? | |
Did she understand it when they said: | |
that a man must break his back to earn his day of leisure, | |
Will she still believe it when he's dead? | |
160. Give My Lve to Rose
I | found him by the | railroad track this | morning |
I | could see that | he was nearly | dead |
| I knelt down beside him and I | listened |
| Just to hear the words the dying fellow said |
| He said they let me out of | prison down in | Frisco |
| For ten long years I've | paid for what I've | done |
| I was trying to get back to Louisi | ana |
| To see my Rose and get to know my | son |
| Give my love to Rose please won't you | mister |
| Take her all my money, tell her to | buy some pretty clothes |
| Tell my boy his daddy's so proud | of him |
| And don't forget to give my love to | Rose |
| Tell them I said | thanks for waiting | for me - | Tell my boy to | help his mom at | home |
| Tell my Rose to try to find | another - | For it ain't right that she should live alone |
| Mister here's a | bag with all my | money - | It won't last them | long the way it | goes |
| God bless you for finding me this | morning - | And don't forget to give my love to | Rose |
| Give my love to Rose please won't you | mister |
| Take her all my money, tell her to | buy some pretty clothes |
| Tell my boy his daddy's so proud | of him |
| And don't forget to give my love to | Rose |
161. Go, Tell it on the Mountain
| Go, tell it on the mountain, | over the hills and | ev'rywhere, |
Go, tell it on the moun | tain, that | Jesus | Christ is | born, |
When I was a seeker, I | sought both night an' | day, |
I asked the Lord to help me, and | he showed me the | way: |
Go, tell it on the mountain, ... | |
He made me a wathcman, upon the city wall; | |
And if I am a Christian, I am the last of all. | |
Go, tell it on the mountain, ... | |
162. Goldwatch Blues
| I went up for my interview on the | fourth day | of Ju | ly. |
| Personnel man he questioned me un | til I | nearly | cried, |
| He made me fill in forms un | til I | shook with | fear: |
| About the colour of my toilet roll and | if my | cousin's | queer. |
| Here's your goldwatch and the | shackles | for your | chain, |
| And your piece of paper to | say you | left here | sane. |
| And if you've got a son who | wants a | good ca | reer: |
Just | get | him to sign on the dotted line and | work for | fifty | years. |
He asked me how many jobs I'd had before. | |
He nearly had a heart attack when I answered: Four. | |
Four jobs in twenty years, oh, this can never be! | |
We only take on men who work until they die. | |
He took me outside to where the gravestones stand in line. | |
This is where we bury them in quick-stone and in lime! | |
And if you come to work for us on this you must agree: | |
That if you're going to die please do it during tea-break. | |
This story that you heard you may think rather queer, | |
But it is the truth you'll be surprised to hear. | |
I did not want no job upon the board: | |
I just wanted to take a broom and sweep the bloody floor. | |
163. Good People
| You | win it's your | show now, So | what's it going to be? |
| Because | people will tune | in, How many train wrecks | do we need to see? |
| Be | fore we lose | touch And | we thought this was low. |
| Well it's | bad, getting | worse.... |
| Where'd all the good people | go? | | - I've been | changing channels and I don't | see them on the | TV shows. | |
| Where'd all the good people | go? | | - We've got | heaps and heaps of | what we sow! | | | |
They got | this and that with a | rattle a tat. Tes | ting, one, two, man | whatcha gonna do? |
Bad | news misused, got | too much to lose. | Give me some truth now, | who's side are we on? |
What | ever you say, | Turn on the | boob tube, I'm in the | mood to obey. So | lead me a | stray, And by the | way now... |
| Where'd all the good people | go? | | - I've been | changing channels and I don't | see them on the | TV shows. | |
| Where'd all the good people | go? | | - We've got | heaps and heaps of | what we sow! | | | |
| Sitting around feeling far a | way, | | So far away but I can feel the | debris, can you | feel it? |
| You interrupt me from a | friendly conversation | | To tell me how great it's all going to | be. |
| | You - might - no | tice some hesitation, | | Because it's important to you, it's not important to | me. |
| | But way down by the | edge of your reason | | It's beginning to show and all I | really want to know is... |
| Where'd all the good people | go? | | - I've been | changing channels and I don't | see them on the | TV shows. | |
| Where'd all the good people | go? | | - We've got | heaps and heaps of | what we sow! | | | |
They got | this and that with a | rattle a tat, Tes | ting, one, two, man | whatcha gonna do? |
Bad | news misused, | give me some truth. |
You got | too much to lose, Whose | side are we on today, | anyway? (Where'd all the good people go?) |
Okay what | ever you say - | Wrong and resolute but in the | mood to obey |
| Station to sta | tion, desensi | tizing the na | tion (Where'd all the good people go?) - | Going, going, gone |
164. Green, Green Grass Of Home
The | old home town looks the same as I | step down from the | train, |
| And there to meet me is my mama and | papa. |
Down the | road I look and | there runs Mary, | hair of gold and | lips like cherries, |
It's | good to touch the | green, green | grass of | home. | | |
| Yes, they'll all come to | meet me, | arms a-reaching, smiling sweetly; |
It's | good to touch the | green, green | grass of | home. | | |
The | old house is still standing, though the | paint is cracked and | dry, |
| And there's that old oak tree that I used to | play on; |
Down the | lane I walk and with | my sweet Mary, | hair of gold an lips like cherries; |
it's | good to touch the | green, green | grass of | home. | | |
Then I awake and look around me, at the four gray walls that surround me; | |
And I realize that I was only dreaming. | |
For there's a guard and there's a sad old padre. Arm and arm we'll walk at daybreak, | |
Again I'll touch the green, green grass of home. | |
| Yes, they'll all come to | see me in the | shade of that old oak tree; |
As they | lay me 'neath the | green, green | grass of | home. | | |
165. Greensleeves
A | las, my | love, you | do me | wrong, To | cast me off dis | courteously. |
For | I have | loved you | well and | long, De | lighting in | your compa | ny. |
| Greensleeves was | all my | joy - | Greensleeves was | my delight, |
| Greensleeves was my | heart of | gold, And | who but my | lady | greensleeves. |
Your vows you've broken, like my heart, Oh, why did you so enrapture me? | |
Now I remain in a world apart - But my heart remains in captivity. | |
Greensleeves was all my joy - Greensleeves was my delight, | |
Greensleeves was my heart of gold, And who but my lady greensleeves. | |
I have been ready at your hand, To grant whatever you would crave, | |
I have both wagered life and land, Your love and good-will for to have. | |
Greensleeves was all my joy - Greensleeves was my delight, | |
Greensleeves was my heart of gold, And who but my lady greensleeves. | |
If you intend thus to disdain, It does the more enrapture me, | |
And even so, I still remain - A lover in captivity. | |
Greensleeves was all my joy - Greensleeves was my delight, | |
Greensleeves was my heart of gold, And who but my lady greensleeves. | |
My men were clothed all in green, And they did ever wait on thee; | |
All this was gallant to be seen, And yet thou wouldst not love me. | |
Greensleeves was all my joy - Greensleeves was my delight, | |
Greensleeves was my heart of gold, And who but my lady greensleeves. | |
Thou couldst desire no earthly thing, But still thou hadst it readily. | |
Thy music still to play and sing; And yet thou wouldst not love me. | |
Greensleeves was all my joy - Greensleeves was my delight, | |
Greensleeves was my heart of gold, And who but my lady greensleeves. | |
Well, I will pray to God on high, That thou my constancy mayst see, | |
And that yet once before I die, Thou wilt vouchsafe to love me. | |
Greensleeves was all my joy - Greensleeves was my delight, | |
Greensleeves was my heart of gold, And who but my lady greensleeves. | |
Ah, Greensleeves, now farewell, adieu, To God I pray to prosper thee, | |
For I am still thy lover true, Come once again and love me. | |
Greensleeves was all my joy - Greensleeves was my delight, | |
Greensleeves was my heart of gold, And who but my lady greensleeves. | |
166. Griechischer Wein
Es war schon | dunkel als ich durch Vorstadtstraßen | heim | wärts | ging. |
Da war ein Wirtshaus aus dem das Licht noch auf den | Geh | steig | schien. |
| | Ich hatte | Zeit und mir war | kalt, drum trat ich ein. |
Da saßen | Männer mit braunen Augen und mit | schwar | zem | Haar, |
und aus der Jukebox erklang Musik die fremd und | süd | lich | war. |
| | Als man mich | sah stand einer | auf und lud mich | ein. |
| Griechischer Wein - ist so wie das Blut der Erde, |
| Komm, schenk dir ein, und wenn ich dann traurig werde, |
| Liegt es daran, dass ich immer träume von da | heim, du musst verzeih'n! | |
| Griechischer Wein - und die altvertrauten Lieder, |
| Schenk nochmal ein, denn ich fühl' die Sehnsucht wieder, |
| In dieser Stadt werd' ich immer nur ein Fremder | sein | und al | lein. |
Und dann erzählten sie mir von grünen Hügeln, Meer und Wind, | |
von alten Häusern und jungen Frauen, die alleine sind, | |
und von dem Kind, das seinen Vater noch nie sah. | |
Sie sagten sich immer wieder: bald kommt er zurück. | |
Und das Ersparte genügt zu Hause für ein kleines Glück. | |
Und bald denkt keiner mehr daran, wie es hier war. | |
Griechischer Wein - ist so wie das Blut der Erde, | |
Komm, schenk dir ein, und wenn ich dann traurig werde, | |
Liegt es daran, dass ich immer träume von daheim, du musst verzeih'n! | |
Griechischer Wein - und die altvertrauten Lieder, | |
Schenk nochmal ein, denn ich fühl' die Sehnsucht wieder, | |
In dieser Stadt werd' ich immer nur ein Fremder sein und allein. | |
167. Guantanamera
Yo soy un | hombre sin | cero, | de donde | crece la | palma | |
Yo soy un | hombre sin | ce | ro, de donde | crece la palm | a |
Y antes de | morirme | quie | ro echar mis | versos de | alm | a |
| Guantanamera, | guajira | guantaname | ra |
| Guantana | me-e-e | ra, guajira | guantana | me-e- | ra |
|: Mi verso es de un verde claro y de un carmin encendido :| | |
Mi verso es un ciervo herido que busca en el monte amparo | |
|: Con los pobres de la tierra quiero yo mi suerte echar :| | |
El arroyo de la sierra me complace mas que el mar | |
168. Gute Nacht, Freunde
| Gute Nacht, | Freunde, | es wird Zeit für mich zu | geh'n, |
| Was ich noch zu sagen | hätte dauert eine Ziga | rette |
| Und ein letztes Glas im | Steh'n. |
| Für den Tag, für die | Nacht unter Eurem Dach habt | Dank. |
Für den Platz an Eurem | Tisch, für jedes Glas, das ich trank. |
Für den Teller, den Ihr | mit zu den Euren | stellt, |
Als sei selbstver | ständlicher | nichts auf der | Welt. |
| Habt dank für die | Zeit, die ich mit Euch verplaudert | hab' |
Und für Eure Ge | duld, wenn's mehr als eine Meinung gab |
Dafür, daß Ihr nie | fragt wann ich komme oder | geh' |
Und für die stets offene | Tür, in | der ich jetzt | steh' |
| Für die Freiheit, die als | steter Gast bei Euch | wohnt |
Habt Dank, daß Ihr nie | fragt was es bringt, ob es lohnt |
Vielleicht liegt es da | ran, daß man von draußen | meint |
Daß in Euren | Fenstern das | Licht wärmer | scheint |
Gute Nacht, Freunde, es wird Zeit für mich zu geh'n. | |
Was ich noch zu sagen hätte dauert eine Zigarette | |
Und ein letztes Glas im | Steh'n. |
169. Guten Tag Liebes Glück
| Heute ist ein guter Tag um glücklich zu sein, Steht das | Glück vor der Tür, dann lass ich es rein. |
Guten | Tag liebes Glück, schön dich zu sehen, | Kaffee oder Tee? |
Du willst doch nicht gleich wieder gehen? | |
Ich | bleib auch entspannt, halt dich nicht fest, denn ich | weiß, |
dass du bleibst, wenn man dich lässt. | |
Was ver | schafft mir das Glück? Eins ist ja klar, frag mich | nicht wie es mir geht, |
denn du warst ja nicht da. | |
| Heute ist ein guter Tag um glücklich zu sein. | Heute ist ein guter Tag um glücklich zu sein. |
Des | wegen, kommst du mir ge | legen, wird auch langsam | Zeit. | | | | | | | |
| Nun sitzt das Glück schon so lang auf der Couch, Ich | fühl mich sehr wohl, |
doch dann denke ich: Autsch! | |
| Langsam kommt das schlechte Gewissen, Werden | andere das Glück jetzt nicht vermissen? |
Ich | kann doch nicht sagen, es sollte nun gehen, Das | Glück im Haus zu haben, |
Ich | bin ganz verblüfft von der Situation, | Vielleicht bin ich verwöhnt, |
doch was macht das schon, denn | |
| Heute ist ein guter Tag um glücklich zu sein. | Heute ist ein guter Tag um glücklich zu sein. |
Des | wegen, kommst du mir ge | legen. |
| Mir war das gar nicht klar doch jetzt sehe ich ein: | Heute ist ein guter Tag um glücklich zu sein. |
Wenns | bliebe, mir zu | liebe, wird auch langsam | Zeit. | | | | | | | |
| Heute ist ein guter Tag um glücklich zu sein. | Heute ist ein guter Tag um glücklich zu sein. |
170. Hallelujah
Well, I | heard there was a | secret chord, That | David played, and it | pleased the Lord |
But | you don't really | care for music, | do ya? | |
Well, it | goes like this: the | fourth, the | fifth, The | minor fall and the | major lift, |
The | baffled king com | posing Halle | lujah |
Halle | lujah, Halle | lujah, Halle | lujah, Halle | lu | | jah |
Well, your faith was strong, but you needed proof, You saw her bathing on the roof | |
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya | |
And she tied you to her kitchen chair, And she broke your throne and she cut your hair, | |
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah | |
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah | |
Well, baby, I've been here before, I've seen this room and I've walked this floor | |
You know, I used to live alone before I knew ya | |
And I've seen your flag on the marble arch, And love is not a victory march, | |
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah | |
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah | |
Well, there was a time when you let me know - What's really going on below, | |
But now you never show that to me, do ya? | |
But remember when I moved in you, And the holy dove was moving too | |
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah | |
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah | |
Well, maybe there is a God above - But all I've ever learned from love, | |
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya. | |
And it's not a cry that you hear at night; It's not somebody who's seen the light, | |
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah | |
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, | |
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah... | |
171. Halt dich an deiner Liebe fest
| Wenn niemand bei dir is' und du | denkst, dass keiner dich sucht, |
| und du hast die Reise ins Jenseits | vielleicht schon gebucht, |
| und all die Lügen geben | Dir den Rest: |
| Halt dich | an deiner | Liebe | fest. |
| Halt dich | an deiner | Liebe | fest. |
| Wenn der Frühling kommt | und deine Seele brennt, |
| Du wachst nachts auf aus deinen | Träumen, |
| aber da is' niemand, der | bei dir pennt, |
| wenn der, auf den du wartest, | dich sitzen läßt: |
| Halt dich | an deiner | Liebe | fest. |
| Halt dich | an deiner | Liebe | fest. |
| Wenn der Novemberwind | deine Hoffnung verweht, |
| und du bist so müde, weil du nicht mehr | weißt, wie's weitergeht, |
| wenn dein kaltes Bett dich nicht | schlafen läßt: |
| Halt dich | an deiner | Liebe | fest. |
| Halt dich | an deiner | Liebe | fest. |

| |:( | so schön, | schön war die Zeit) | :| |
| Brennend | heißer Wüsten | sand, ( | so schön, | schön war die Zeit) |
| Fern, so | fern dem Heimat | land. ( | so schön, | schön war die Zeit) |
| Kein Gruß, | kein Herz, | kein Kuss, | kein Scherz; |

Hört mich an, ihr goldenen Sterne, (so schön, schön war die Zeit) | |
Grüßt die Lieben in der Ferne. (so schön, schön war die Zeit) | |
Mit Freud und Leid - verrinnt - die Zeit; | |
Alles liegt so weit so weit. (so schön, schön war die Zeit) | |

| There, | | running my | hands through her | hair; | |
| Both of us | thinking how | good it can | be, |
| Someone is | speaking, but | she doesn't | know he's | there. | |
And if | she's beside me | I know I need | never care. |
| But to love her | is to need her | every | where. |
| Knowing that | love is to | share, | |
| Each one be | lieving that | love never | dies, |
| Watching her | eyes, and | hoping I'm | always | there! | |

186. Heroes - Helden
And | you, you will be | queen. |
Though | nothing will drive them | away, |
We can | beat them, | just for one | day. |
We can be | Heroes, | just for one | day. |
And I, I'll drink all the time | |
'Cause we're lovers and that is a fact | |
Yes, we're lovers and that is that | |
Though nothing will keep us together | |
We could steal time just for one day | |
We can be heroes for ever and ever - What d'you say? | |
Du, könntest du schwimmen | |
Wie Delphine, Delphine es tun. | |
Niemand gibt uns eine Chance | |
Doch können wir siegen für immer und immer | |
Und wir sind dann Helden für einen Tag | |
Obwohl sie unschlagbar scheinen | |
Werden wir Helden für einen Tag. | |
Wir sind dann wir an diesem Tag. | |
Ich, ich glaubte zu träumen. (zu träumen) | |
Die Mauer im Rücken war kalt. (so kalt) | |
Schüsse reißen die Luft, (reißen die Luft) | |
Doch wir küssen, als ob nichts geschieht. (nichts geschieht) | |
Und die Scham fiel auf ihrer Seite, | |
Oh, wir können sie schlagen für alle Zeiten. | |
Dann sind wir Helden für diesen Tag. | |
Dann sind wir Helden, nur diesen Tag. | |
We're nothing and nothing will help us. | |
Maybe we're lying, then you better not stay, | |
But we could be safer, just for one day. | |

| Heute hier, morgen dort, bin kaum | da, muß ich | fort |
hab mich | niemals des | wegen | beklagt, |
hab' es | selbst so gewählt, nie die | Jahre ge | zählt, |
nie nach | gestern und | morgen ge | fragt. |
Manchmal | träume ich schwer, und dann | denk' ich, es | wär' |
Zeit zu | bleiben und nun was ganz | and'res zu | tun. |
So vergeht Jahr um Jahr und es | ist mir längst | klar, |
dass nichts | bleibt, dass nichts | bleibt, wie es | war. |
Das man mich kaum vermißt, schon nach Tagen vergißt, | |
wenn ich längst wieder anderswo bin, | |
stört und kümmert mich nicht, vielleicht bleibt mein Gesicht | |
doch dem ein' oder anderen im Sinn. | |
Manchmal träume ich schwer, und dann denk' ich, es wär' | |
Zeit zu bleiben und nun was ganz and'res zu tun. | |
So vergeht Jahr um Jahr und es ist mir längst klar, | |
daß nichts bleibt, dass nichts bleibt, wie es war. | |
Fragt mich einer, warum ich so bin, bleib ich stumm, | |
denn die Antwort darauf fällt mir schwer, | |
denn was neu ist, wird alt, und was gestern noch galt, | |
stimmt schon heut oder morgen nicht mehr. | |
Manchmal träume ich schwer, und dann denk' ich, es wär' | |
Zeit zu bleiben und nun was ganz and'res zu tun. | |
So vergeht Jahr um Jahr und es ist mir längst klar, | |
daß nichts bleibt, dass nichts bleibt, wie es war. | |

| Do not forsake me, oh my darling, |
Do not forsake me, oh my | dar | ling, |
| I do not know what fate awaits me. |
I only know I must be | brave! |
And I must face a man who | hates me, |
| Or ly a | coward, a | craven | coward, |
| Or ly a | cow | ard | in | my | grave. |
| Oh, to be torn twixt love and duty |
Supposin' I lose my fair haired beauty | |
Look at that big hand movin' round | |
He | made a vow while in state prison |
| Said it would be my life or his'n, |
| I'm not afraid of death, but oh, |
| What will I do if you | leave | me? |
| Do not forsake me, oh my darling, |
You made that promise as a | bride. |
Do not forsake me, oh my | darling, |
| Although you're | grievin', | I Can't | be leavin', |
| Now that I | need | you | by | my | side! |
Wait a | long, wait a | long... |
193. The Highwayman
| I was a | highway | man | , | a | long the | coach roads | I did | ride, | | Sword | and | pistol | by my | side, | |
| Many | a | young maid | lost her | baubles | to my | trade, | |
| Many | a | soldier | shed his | lifeblood | on my | blade, | |
| | The | basterds | hung me | in the | spring of | twenty- | five, | | But | I am | still a | live... | | |
| I was a | sailor, I was | born upon the | tide, | With the | sea I did a | bide, |
| I sailed a | schooner round the | horn of Mexi | co, |
| I went a | loft and furled the | main sail in a | blow, |
| | And when the | yards broke off they | said that | I've got | killed, But I am living | still... |
| I was a | dam builder, | across the river deep and | wide, | Where steel and | water did col | lide, |
| A place called | Boulder on the | wild Colora | do, |
| I slipped and | fell into the | wet concrete be | low, |
| | They buried | me in that gray | tomb that | knows no | sounds, But I am still a | round... |
| | I'll always be a | round, and a | round, and a | round, and a | round, and a | round | | | | | | |
| I'll fly a | starship ' | cross the universe di | vide, | And when I | reach the other | side, |
| I'll find a | place to rest my | spirit if I | can, |
| Perhaps I | may become a | highwayman a | gain, |
| | Or I may | simply be a | single | drop of | rain, But I will re | main... |
| | And I'll be back a | gain, and a | gain, and a | gain, and a | gain, and a | gain | | | | | | |

195. Homeward Bound
I'm | sitting in a railway station, Got a | ticket for my destina | tion. | |
| On a tour of one night stands, My | suitcase and guitar in hand, |
And | every stop is neatly planned - For a poet and a one man band. |
| Homeward | bound, - I wish I | was homeward | bound, |
| Home, where my | thoughts are 'scaping, - | Home, where my | music's playing, |
| Home, where my | love lies waiting | silently | for me. |
Everyday's an endless stream Of cigarettes and magazines. | |
And each town looks the same to me, The movies and the factories, | |
And every stranger's face I see - Reminds me that I long to be... | |
Homeward bound, - I wish I was homeward bound, | |
Home, where my thoughts are 'scaping, - Home, where my music's playing, | |
Home, where my love lies waiting silently for me. | |
Tonight I'll sing my songs again, I'll play the game and pretend, | |
But all my words come back to me - In shades of mediocrity, | |
Like emptiness in harmony, I need someone to comfort me. | |
Homeward bound, - I wish I was homeward bound, | |
Home, where my thoughts are 'scaping, - Home, where my music's playing, | |
Home, where my love lies waiting silently for me. | |

198. Horse With No Name
| On the first part of the | journey |
I was lookin at all the life | |
There were plants and birds and rocks and things | |
There were sand and hills and rings | |
The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz | |
and the sky with no clouds | |
the heat was hot and the ground was dry | |
but the air was full of sound | |
| I've been through the desert on a | horse with no name |
it felt good to be out of the rain | |
in the desert you can remember your name | |
'cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain | |
la la la la lalala la la la la la | |
After two days in the desert sun | |
my skin began to turn red | |
After three days in the desert fun | |
I was looking at a river bed | |
And the story it told of a river that flowed | |
made me sad to think it was dead | |
I've been through the desert ... | |
After nine days I let the horse run free | |
'cause the desert had turned to sea | |
there were plants and birds and rocks and things | |
there were sand and hills and rings | |
The ocean is a desert with it's life underground | |
and the perfect disguise above | |
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground | |
but the humans will give no love | |
I've been through the desert ... | |

Mister America walk on by | |
Your schools that do not teach | |
Mister America walk on by | |
The minds that won't be reached | |

The emptiness that's you inside | |
When once you find that the way you lied | |
And all the corny tricks you tried | |
Will not forestall the rising tide of | |
Hungry freaks, Daddy . . . | |

204. I Am A Rock
| A winter's day- in a | deep and dark De | cember |
| Gazing from my | window | to the streets be | low |
On a | freshly fallen | silent shroud of | snow. |
| I am a | rock, | I am an | is | land. | |
I've built walls, A fortress deep and mighty, | |
I have no need of friendship, friendship causes pain | |
It's laughter and loving I disdain: | |
I am a rock, I am an island. | |
Don't talk of love - But I've heard the word before: | |
It's sleeping in my memory; | |
I won't disturb the slumber of the feelings that have died, | |
If I never loved I never would have cried! | |
I am a rock, I am an island. | |
I have my books - And my poetry to protect me. | |
I am shielded in my armour. | |
Hiding in my room, safe within my womb, | |
I touch no one and no one touches me. | |
| I am a | rock, | I am an | is | land. |
And a | rock | feels no | pain, and an | island | never | cries. |

213. Ich fahr mit der Lambretta
| Morgens früh um viere - da | klopft es an der Türe |
und | Erna sagt mit wichtigem | Gesicht: |
"Du | kommst jetzt aus dem warmen Bett!" - Doch | ich ich find das gar nicht nett, |
denn | Arbeit, | die liegt mir | nicht. |
| Ich fahr mit der Lambretta | raus zu meinem Vetter - | wo die blauen Kornblumen | blühn. |
Ich | leg mich in die Sonne und | strecke mich vor Wonne - und | laß den Tag an | mir vorüber | ziehn. |
Ich denk an die Kollegen, die müssen sich bewegen. | |
Von fünfe bis um zweie auf der Schicht. | |
Ich aber muß mich schonen, das muß ich hier betonen, | |
denn Arbeit, die liegt mir nicht. | |
Die | Badehose eingepackt die | Sonnencreme auch, |
die | schmier ich mir nachher bei Heinz | mitten auf den Bauch. |
Ja ich fahr mit der Lambretta raus zu meinem Vetter - wo die blauen Kornblumen blühn. | |
Ich leg mich in die Sonne und strecke mich vor Wonne - und lass den Tag an mir vorüber ziehn. | |
Ich springe aus der Feder wie Bierhoff an das Leder | |
und ziehe mich in Windeseile an. | |
Erna ruft noch mach kein Scheiß, vor Zorn ist ihr Gesicht ganz weiß, | |
denn Arbeit, die liegt mir nicht. | |
Ja ich fahr mit der Lambretta raus zu meinem Vetter - wo die blauen Kornblumen blühn. | |
Ich leg mich in die Sonne und strecke mich vor Wonne - und lass den Tag an mir vorüber ziehn. | |
Mit 26 Sachen heize ich den Karren, kühler Fahrtwind peitscht mir ins Gesicht. | |
Gleich liege ich im Liegestuhl, wie Apathisch und ganz cool, | |
denn Arbeit, die liegt mir nicht. | |
Ja ich fahr mit der Lambretta raus zu meinem Vetter - wo die blauen Kornblumen blühn. | |
Ich leg mich in die Sonne und strecke mich vor Wonne - und lass den Tag an mir vorüber ziehn. | |
Die Badehose eingepackt die Sonnencreme auch | |
die schmier ich mir nachher bei Heinz mitten auf den Bauch. | |

214. Ich war noch niemals in New York
Und | nach dem Abendessen | sagte er: Lass mich noch | eben Zigaretten holen | gehn. |
Sie | rief ihm nach: Nimm Dir die | Schlüssel mit! Ich | werd inzwischen nach der Kleinen | sehn. | | |
Er | zog die Tür zu, ging | stumm hinaus, ins | neonhelle | Treppenhaus. |
Es | roch nach Bohner | wachs und Spießi | gkeit, Und | auf der Treppe | dachte er: |
Wie | wenn das jetzt ein | Aufbruch wär. Ich | müsste einfach | gehn: Für alle | Zeit, für alle | Zeit! |
Ich war noch | niemals in New | York. ich war noch | niemals auf Ha | waii. |
Ging nie durch | San Franzisko | in zerrissnen | Jeans. |
Ich war noch | niemals in New | York. Ich war noch | niemals richtig | frei. |
Einmal ver | rückt sein und aus | allen Zwängen | fliehn. | | | | | |
Und | als er draußen auf der | Straße stand, fiel ihm | ein, dass er fast alles bei sich | trug. |
Den | Pass, die Eurochecks und | etwas Geld, viel | leicht ging heute abend noch ein | Flug. |
Er | könnt' ein Taxi nehmen | dort am Eck, oder | Autostop und | einfach weg. |
Die | Sehnsucht in ihm | wurde wieder | wach. Noch | einmal voll von | Träumen sein, |
sich | aus der Enge | hier befrein. Er | dachte über | seinen Aufbruch | nach, seinen Aufbruch | nach! |
Ich war noch niemals in New York. Ich war noch niemals auf Hawaii. | |
Ging nie durch San Franzisko in zerrissnen Jeans. | |
Ich war noch niemals in New York. Ich war noch niemals richtig frei. | |
Einmal verrückt sein und aus allen Zwängen fliehn. | |
Dann | steckte er die Ziga | retten ein, und | ging wie selbstverständlich | heim. |
Durchs | Treppenhaus mit Bohnerwachs | und Spießig | keit. |
Die | Frau rief: "Mann, wo bleibst Du | bloß ? | Wetten-dass mit Gottschalk | geht gleich los!" |
Sie | fragte: "War was?" - " | Nein, was | soll schon sein." | | | | | | | |
Ich war noch niemals in New York... | |
215. If I had a Hammer
If I had a | hammer, | | I’d | hammer in the | morning, | | |
| I’d hammer in the | evening | | all over this | land. |
I’d hammer out | danger, I’d hammer out a | warning, |
I’d hammer out | love be | tween my | brothers and | my sis | ters, |
If I had a bell, I’d ring it in the morning, | |
I’d ring it in the evening all over this land. | |
I’d ring it out danger, I’d ring it out a warning, | |
I’d ring it out love between my brothers and my sisters, | |
If I had a song, I’d sing it in the morning, | |
I’d sing it in the evening all over this land. | |
I’d sing it out danger, I’d sing it out a warning, | |
I’d sing it out love between my brothers and my sisters, | |
Now I‘ve got a hammer, and I’ve got a bell, | |
and I’ve got a song to sing all over this land. | |
It’s a hammer of justice, it’s a bell of freedom, | |
it’s a song about love between my brothers and my sisters, | |
216. If I Were A Carpenter
| Would you marry me | anyway? |
| If a tinker | were my trade |
| carrying the | pots I made, |
| Save my love through | loneliness, |
| I'm givin' you my | onlyness, |
| Come give me your's to | morrow. |
If I worked my hands in wood, | |
Answer me babe, "Yes I would, | |
at a mill wheel grinding, | |
would you miss your color box, | |
and your soft shoe shining? | |
Would you marry me anyway, | |
217. If You Could Read My Mind
| If you could read my mind love - | What a tale my thoughts could tell! |
| Just like an old time movie - | 'bout a ghost from a wishin' well! |
| In a castle | dark or a | fortress strong - With | chains upon my | feet - You | know that ghost is | me; |
And | I will never | be set free - As | long as I'm a | ghost that you can't | see. | | | | |
| If I could read your mind love - | What a tale your thoughts could tell? |
| Just like a paperback novel - | The kind that drugstores sell. |
| When you reach the | part where the | heartaches come, The | hero would be | me. But | heroes often | fail! |
And | you won't read that | book again - Be | cause the ending's | just too hard to | take. | | | | |
| I'd walk a | way like a | movie star - Who get's | burned in a three way | script. |
| Enter number | two - A | movie queen to | play the scene |
Of | bringing all the | good things out in | me! But for | now love, let's be | real; |
I | never thought I could | act this way - And I've | got to say that I | just don't get it; |
| I don't know where | we went wrong - But the | feeling's gone - And I | just can't get it | back. |
| If I could read your mind love - | What a tale your thoughts could tell! |
| Just like an old time movie - ' | bout a ghost from a wishin' well. |
| In a castle | dark or a | fortress strong - With | chains upon my | feet. But | stories always | end, |
And | if you read | between the lines - You'll | know that I'm just | tryin' to under | stand: |
The | feelin's that you | lack. I | never thought I could | feel this way, |
And I've | got to say that I | just don't get it - | I don't know where | we went wrong, |
| But the feelin's gone - And I | just can't get it | back. | | | | |
218. I'm A Believer
| I thought love was | only true in | fairy tales. |
| Meant for someone | else but not for | me. |
| That's the way it | seemed; |
| Disappointment | haunted all my | dreams |
| Then I saw her | face | | | Now I'm a believer | | | | |
Not a trace | | | of doubt in my mind | | | | |
I'm in love -hoo- | hoo; I'm a be | liever, I couldn't | leave her if I | tried. |
| I thought love was | more or less | a givin' thing |
| It seems the more | I gave the less I | got |
| When I needed | sunshine I got | rain. |
| Then I saw her | face | | | Now I'm a believer | | | | |
Not a trace | | | of doubt in my mind | | | | |
I'm in love -hoo- | hoo; I'm a be | liever, I couldn't | leave her if I | tried. |

I'm a | boy, I'm a | boy, but if I | say I | am I | get it! | | | | | | | |
