You are so bored Everything's locked down Nothing really that you Are planning to do Outside it's cold And the streets are all empty What else is there to lift up your mood than to Sing – all that you need to sing Sing – No one is listening Sing – You are your own biggest fan You are alone At home in your place again Wishing to be anywhere but here But it is what it is and will be what it will be Turn the radio on And burst into song Sing – Sing all the blues away Sing – All that you cannot say Sing – Don't keep it all inside It doesn't matter if you can't keep a rhythm or carry a tune Take bow to the shower curtains, switch on the spotlight and just go La la la la la ... Sing – Sing for a brighter day Sing – For your own sanity Sing – Right in the face of this day And you go La la la la la ...

Not you again I had hoped to see somebody happy smiling Not you again Wasn't there somebody with a passion striving Can I be any different I wanna see myself and be confronted with someone I like Can you make me any different I am disengaged From the person that I used to like Disengaged I am disengaged From myself Take me back To the days when all the roads were open But I lost track And ended off far from where I was hoping Moping Can I be any different I wanna see myself and be confronted with someone I like Can you make me any different I am disengaged From the person that I used to like Disengaged I am disengaged From myself I had it in my hands Gave it away again You don't know what you got until it's drained I chose security Til it got the best of me And an empty shell is all that now remains Disengaged I am disengaged From myself

All the kids are DJs All the kids program beats They put four to the floor That move the raving kids’ feet All the kids are at parties Because they know where it’s at I’m in love with guitars What’s wrong with that Bring ´em in All the kids mumble rap All the kids autotune All the kids trap their hats And make it big on YouTube They get the money and fame and there is none left for me I’m in love with guitars unapologetically

The stinging guilt is all that's left once the rush is wearing off one damp sock under my bed oh my lord what have I done I have failed you once again And I know you saw it all For my sins I do repent once again I broke your law Why does it have to be a sin? All my friends do it as well I wish I never had found out I don't want to go to hell DON'T DO IT, TOM SPOONER, FORSAKE YOUR SIN 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 All good children go to heaven DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT DON'T DO IT, TOM SPOONER The devil takes my hand again I am trying to clear my mind But these pictures still come up, like Rose and Jenny from behind Oh temptation's such a drag Once again I'm bound to fail I pull the blanket over me I know you'll just send me to hell YOU'RE RUINED, TOM SPOONER

How the city sleeps they said it never would In misty twilight How the city's quiet its roaring voice on mute Safe in silence Never dreamt I would be there On nightly streets just the crows and the foxes to roam with me How the city sleeps Enfeebled by disease almost unrecognizable The lifeblood through its veins plastered up to heal forced to a standstill In my head I still see them On nightly streets All the young party people Swaying to the beat I'll meet you there One time you'll see Once we woke up from this sleep I'll meet you there Some day soon When we are fresh and renewed ...

Sorry to hear that this time it has struck you. It is bad, and you're on your own. After all no one saw it coming. Not me, not you, no one. There is no reason, no explanation. Ask all you like. No reason, no explanation, just facts of life. We go to church, pray forgiveness for our sins. Pay insurance and indulgence too. It's a funny thing how twisted things can get. Life is a bitch, and sometimes it screws you for ... ... no reason, no explanation. Ask all you like. No reason, no explanation, just facts of life. Shut your complaining down, all this shoulda woulda song. You cannot change the past and don't know what the future holds. There is no reason, no explanation, no giant plan. No reason, no explanation, it's only life.

Where the trees grow where the birds crow into silence I'll go Where the rain falls where wind blows into silence I'll go Where the bees fly and the stars shine into silence I'll go And I won't be found

We've come to take away your car to make sure you can drive no more We've come to leave no concrete block unturned We've come to ground the aeroplanes to take your daily steak away We've come to put the fire out that burns And the green will grow clean rivers flow and we can breathe again And the birds will sing the forests spring And the bees will fly again We've come to take your job away but did you like it anyway and all the traffic jams that take you there We're closing down your factory that operates so wastefully and nothing comes out that we really need And the green will grow clean rivers flow and we can breathe again And the birds will sing the forests spring And the bees will fly again Quit moving sideways life goes on, let go of yesterday Quit moving sideways clinging on all that suffocates Quit moving sideways Close your eyes, and think how it would be Quit moving sideways sideways And the green will grow the grey will go and we can breathe again The tanks will rust the toxic dust will be of yesterday So why don't we begin?

I stand alone With no one there to save me No one there to save me From what I don't need to be saved I walk alone With no one there to guide me No one there to guide me to where I don't want to go Aaahhh Get over me I speak alone With no one there to tell me No one there to tell me Which words I cannot use I go alone With no one there to stop me No one there to stop me Climbing barricades Aaahhh Get off of me I emancipate Choose to choose over my fate I choose to break away And run Aaahhh Get over me

Lyrics [V1] Du verstehst die Welt nicht mehr in dieser wirren Zeit Die Häme sagt dir, das beruht auf Gegenseitigkeit Alles was du sagst kriegen sie in den falschen Hals Und was gestern galt, ist heute plötzlich falsch [REFR] Leg dich wieder hin mach den Fernseher aus Hat doch keinen Sinn Weil man dich nicht mehr braucht Nichts bleibt wie es war Im Bruchteil von Sekunden Verändert sich die Welt Und was du kennst, ist verschwunden Und was glauben diese Gören wer die sind? [V2] Du warst in der Politik seit Straußens Zeiten schon Hast deine Fahne hochgehalten, für Gott und Tradition All die ganzen Überstunden, und das ist jetzt der Lohn? Statt Anerkennung nur noch Spott und Hohn (Komm, Alter) [REFR] Leg dich wieder hin Log dich vom Internet aus Hat ja keinen Sinn Weil man dich nicht mehr braucht Nichts bleibt wie es war Im Bruchteil von Sekunden Verändert sich die Welt Und was du kennst, ist verschwunden Und das, was du gebaut hast, reißen sie ein [C-TEIL] Wer hätt geglaubt, dass Geschichte gar kein Ende hat? Wer hätt geglaubt, die Antwort liefert nicht der Markt? Wer hätt geglaubt, dass es Wichtigeres als Wachstum gibt? Wer hätt geglaubt, dass nicht jeder dich liebt? [SOLO] [REFR] Leg dich wieder hin Und schau die Landschaft an Hat ja keinen Sinn Du hast genug getan Nichts bleibt wie es ist So ist es wohl im Leben Du kannst jetzt dein Amt An andere übergeben Und ein Beispiel sein wie‘s geht – oder auch nicht … ____________________________________________________ TRANSLATION ____________________________________________________ [V1] You don’t understand the world any more in these crazy times The flack you take tells you that’s mutual Everything you say they take the wrong way And what was true yesterday suddenly is wrong today [CHORUS] Lie back down Turn off the TV It’s pointless You’re not needed any more Nothing stays the same In a fraction of a second The world changes And what you knew is gone And who do these brats think they are? [V2] You have been in politics since the days of Franz Josef Strauß You let your flag fly for god and tradition All these hours overtime, and this is what you get? Instead of respect only derision and mockery (Come on, old boy) [CHORUS] Lie back down Get off the internet It’s pointless You’re not needed any more Nothing stays the same In a fraction of a second The world changes And what you knew is gone And they tear down what you built up [BRIDGE] Who would have thought that there is no end to history? Who would have thought the market doesn’t have the answer? Who would have thought there was something more important than growth? Who would have thought that not everybody loves you? [CHORUS] Lie back down Look at the landscape It’s pointless You have done enough Nothing stays the same Maybe that’s just life You can turn over your position To others And set an example of how it’s done – or not …

Well there she goes again I lift my hand and grin But she just looks away Kimberly McCain She’ll never notice me She’s way above my league her daddy’s in the industry Kimberly McCain How can I make you like me I feel your disdain So it is quite unlikely Kimberly McCain How can I get to know you how can I hold your hand your father would disown you Kimberly Kimberly McCain Think of what they say A rose by any wealth would smell as sweet

You came in with a bang And went out on a whisper They loved what you do Except "they" were too few You've been on the road In vans and in busses Those teenage dreams were not what it seems so ... Here's to grilling steaks again Here's to university Here is to maturity Here is to security All the golden melodies All the crazy memories Boxed up and packed away All of that was yesterday The song ideas on the shelf You will hum to yourself The guitar in its case will go on Ebay Sometimes they still write to you wondering how you do Some of them don't even know that they can't book you anymore Some ask for collectibles Copies of that first single And some would give anything to once more hear you sing La la la la la ... Face it Erase it It's been a while Give me a sign

She came in winter on the coldest day frost flowers bloomed on a frozen lake She’s the one that I always will remember with a heart as pure and white as snow Winter girl, she’s one I always will remember With a heart as pure and white as snow When winter receded and the white wonderland had turned into muddy slush she began to fade She's the one that I always will remember with a heart as pure and white as snow Winter girl, she’s one I always will remember With a heart as pure and white as snow Where has she gone my winter girl my winter girl
