(Thomas Klein)
your heart’s wide open
so many things can creep inside
why can’t you close it
it’s better for your life
why can’t you hate it
like so many people do
smile and tolerate it
come on eliminate it
see Vincent Gallo
it seems that he hates the world
but he’s too old to be young
and not old enough to die
twenty year-old sissies
wanna tell you the truth about life
but if you think you feel
that they know nothing
sometimes life feels so
so unreal sometimes
let’s go to the places
where we all belong
but we are too far gone
when I was a young man
I declared the truth behind lies
but noone’s listening
now I wear a muzzle
in special moments
watch aeroplanes in great blue skies
dream of the other side
why can’t I reach it
I just can’t hate it
no matter if I do or not
smile and tolerate it
I can’t eliminate it
sometimes...
(Klein /Koblé)
The morning sunshine in my eyes, oh I can’t get up, no surprise
good lord what can I do, tons upon my shoulder
since you’ve been gone I’m running wild, the moon’s
my friend while my sun don’t shine
my legs are trembling when I think about you
a few days later I’ve won the war, run through the streets with great big scars
dear Lord what can I do, is there anyone who loves me
so many beauties all around with shiny hair and smily souls,
but all that I can do is thinking about my baby
Call me, call me! Take the weight from off my shoulders
Call me, ball me! Free my body from distorture
things that I’ve done they were so mean, oh why oh why I ask myself
all I can say to you is: sorry sorry babe
if you’re with someone long enough you cannot help it seeming right
but in the end I know that you’re the one I need
Call me...
(Klein/Koblé)
sometimes some facts that come across my mind, I can’t believe I can’t believe
sometimes Ithink I can’t believe my eyes, I can’t believe I can’t believe
what’s unbelievable is easy to recall, I can’t believe I can’t believe
what people keep in mind is easier to sell, I can’t believe I can’t believe
It’s not important what you need or don’t, I can’t believe I can’t believe
another need another trend for the new time, I can’t believe I can’t believe
you can forget your soul, we’re gonna get your soul, I can’t believe I can’t
believe
‘cause you don’t need a soul, what do you need it for? I can’t believe I can’t
believe
Who’s gonna save who’s gonna save my love, I can believe I can believe
because I need my soul, I can believe I can believe
because I need, you know I need my mind, I can believe I can believe
I can’t believe that same old shit you know, I can believe I can believe
I’m gonna keep my soul, you know I need my soul
I can believe I can believe
‘cause I believe in love, I do believe in love
I can believe I can believe
(Altpeter/Koblé)
girl when I look into your eyes
ooohh I start to fantasize
me you and I could get together
maybe you and I could feel a lot better
I don’t even know your name
wish that we could feel the same
who will be the one to blame
you could love me for a while
dry the tears behind your smile
baby this is not my game
How am I gonna win this race
When it’s about so much more than pace
Run Baby run and I will chase
And none of us will end up in second place
(Klein/Koblé)
here comes the summer, beautiful and mighty blue and white
here comes the summer, hot and lazy days with endless nights
here comes the winter, suddenly and unexpectedly
casting shadows on your soul, though everybody else is happy
but thank God it’s summer, in its light you are dancing with the waves
thank God it’s summer, summertime is here
here comes the summer, while you long for a gloomy winter’s day
flaking off on the sofa, and wishing summer hadn’t gone away
but thank God it’s summer, in its light you are
dancing with the waves
thank God it’s summer, summer
Babababa, Babababa
(Mathias Koblé)
I was on my way to you, trying to find a way to carry on
fell in love and so did you, ‘cause there was nothing else to do
now I don’t know what to do, since you told me we are through
all those times I’ve been so blue, could not face it without you
and I feel like I’ve been burried, living in this cemetary
got no mind to stop to worry, looking for some sanctuary
I mean you! And no matter what you do to me
I love you yes I do, can’t you see that it’s still true
now I’m on my way from you, and it’s impossible to do
yes I’m on my way from you, still can’t face it but it’s true
I mean you, and no matter what you do to me
I love you yes I do, can’t you see that it’s still true
I mean you I mean you, and I long for something new
without you without you, still can’t face it but it’s true
November 88
(Altpeter/Koblé)
a push button start
the tape recorder plays the first songs of our band
four people in a room
listen to these sounds with a smile from ear to ear
November 88, not even in our twenties
November 88, you said you wanted to rule the world
we laugh about our tales
we talk about our styles our stars and our girls
we never cared about sales
we tried to find our own style, we had our own world
November 88, not even in our twenties
November 88, you said you wanted to rule the world
and I long to be there
but I’m getting nowhere
(Altpeter/Koblé)
let me be water
Wanna be water
Ican’t help it’s in my eyes
wanna seek glory
I can’t help my story
I don’t want to say a word
Wanna see through you
I can’t help myself
wanna take you from her
wanna live
let me be water
sister, wife and daughter
let me live another day
what’s it here we’re after
will we see another day
it seems we have lost our way
wanna see through you
will we see another day
it seems we have lost our way
wanna be water
will we see another day
it seems we have lost our way
(Klein)
Did you ever see an angel, that’s how he starts
did you ever become slave to a shape, who wasn’t really from this earth
that’s all he told me, the story seemed so far
I’ll tell you what he told me, so listen well
She flies higher, she flies higher than the sun
she moves faster, she moves faster than a car
she pours poison, she pours poison in your heart
she is hotter, she is hotter than hell
and there, there she goes; everyone’s eyes are close to her moves
and she knows, yes she knows, that her mind breaks heart and soul
she walks softer, she walks softer than a child
it seems that heaven’s missing an angel when she smiles
it seems that heaven’s missing an angel when she smiles
she flies higher
she walks softer
she pours poison
she flies higher
she walks softer
she pours poison
she is from heaven!
All over you
(Altpeter/Koblé)
I don’t know what to say, mighty clever
I can’t stand being away, so far from you
and it’s always the same, same as ever
and it’s all over you
oh won’t you help me…
there’s some love in here
and some inside you
and it’s all over you
and it’s always here
and it’s inside you
and it’s all over you
I don’t know how to be a new lover
here or there no matter where, must get better
and your song made me weep bittersweet tears
we will smile in the end
(Klein)
repeat
another week without you
a party without names
oh I feel so alone
then you walked in and I was loosing
you took a long look at my hands
and I can’t keep my eyes from you
your smile
shoots bullets of desire
your body is unreally real
and now I’m loosing my control
recall
how the darkness doubled
lightning strikes your move
and now I’m loosing my control
get up off my cloud
it seems you said to me
you whisper as you scream
and make me feel like
a natural boy
it’s warm and it’s calm
and it’s just perfect
some birds
sing welcome to the morning
sun shines on our bodies
and I can’t keep my eyes from you
realize
paradise isn’t, really
reality’s so hard
and I feel so alone
in dreams
we’re playing round the fire
you’re my ‘love hurts’ girl
and I can’t keep my eyes from you
(Koblé)
what will be tomorrow
will there be more sorrow
It won’t last forever
Is it now or never?
what we need to know
is what we’ll do
where I need to go
is with you
what will be tomorrow
do you know the way to go
this won’t last forever
is it now or never?
(Klein/Koblé)
I don’t wanna hurt you
I want to be true
I don’t wanna change You
Love the way you are
I just wanna see you
and I just wanna be with you
don’t know what it means to me
I just wanna be with You, it’s all I can do
don’t waste it please don’t waste it
it’s all you can do
I don’t wanna treat you
the way I did before
sorry if I hurt you
all those years ago
we won’t have to worry
live from day to day
please don’t throw it all away
when love comes your way, all the way
don’t waste it, please don’t waste it all again
waiting now I’m waiting for you to
pick me up and take me for a ride
I don’t need to know where we are heading
I don’t care at all as long as we are two
me and you
Waiting, now I’m waiting for you
(T.Klein)
grüne Wiesen
barfuss durch die Felder hüpfen
kleine Käfer
krabbeln langsam über beige Körper
feuchte Hände
streicheln langsam über bebende Glieder
weisse Wolken
fliegen ganz weit weg mit ihren Träumen
ach ihr schönen Sommerspiele
ach ihr schönen Sommerspiele
schöne Nächte
rücklings in die Sterne glotzen
kein Ufo zu sehn...
okay dann bleiben wir eben hier
und spielen wieder unsere Sommerspiele
wie jedes Jahr unsere Sommerspiele
einfach einfach Sommerspiele
du und ich und Sommerspiele
den lieben langen Tag
Sommerspiele
und die ganze Nacht
Sommerspiele...
