Margraten

The soldier only comes here on quiet days
And he sees the endless rows of names
And with every single
Name he sees a face
He feels powerless and runs away
 
When we stood there and you said :
'This were guys just like you,
They should be your age now,
Son, how older I get
How less I know
Why the things go ... like they do'
 
The president comes here only
For an election
He lays down a garland and says 'we must not forget them'
It doesn't bother me
Because there are places in the world
Where a speech or a word doesn't mean much
 
The children come here sometimes
To play
The country rose from the ashes
Out of the madness of a worldwide fire
 
Heroes die for a dream
Lovers die for a woman
Poets die for a language
Soldiers just die
 
My father stood there and said:
'This were guys just like you,
They should be your age now,
Son, how older I get
How less I know
Why the things go ... like they do'
 
The women come here only
On gray days
To chase away the ghost
Of the past
They get older and remain silent
The history
Dies with the witnesses
They get older and no one listens to them anymore
And the history dies
... Along with the witnesses
 

Followed My Heart

I feel at home here
As a stranger
My accent's recognized everywhere
I come north from the great rivers
You can't be different from
The one you are
 
I can't go back
Because I come from nowhere
Going away
I'll still be foreign
 
My country is full of yellers
And I have learned here
Not being so loud
 
What doesn't mean
That I'll keep silent
If people hate each other
Only because they're different
 
I have encountered
My true love here
I only did
Follow my heart
 
And that is how
I ended up here
In this house as a stranger
Not going first
I'm not a people
I only want to
Live
Here
 

The Old Days Are Over

She was a little singer, long ago
Time has cut with a knife into her face
She sits in every jury for young talent
She's almost fifty now, no person who still knows her
 
But that was different in the old days, she says
Then the world was mine, she says
 
But the old days are over
The old days are over
 
The embitterment is on her face
She grouses to the youth, because they know everything better
 
And that was different in the old days, she says
Then the world was mine, she says
 
But the old days are over
The old days are over
She'd want to sing again so badly
But the old days are over
 
The old days are over
 
She has lain in the bed of every record producer
The songs were literally written on her body
She still had to fight hard for her place
And those girls from now get everything for free
 
But that was different in the old days, she says
Then the world was mine, she says
 
(Chorus 2x)
 
The old days are over
 
She'd want to sing again so badly
She wants to go back in time and start all over
 
(Chorus 3x)
 

If That Suffices

I've only got a piano
And a few clichés
I've got a chair to sit on
And a bed for two
I have a bunch of stories
for going to sleep
I've got an alarm which is broken
So that I don't have to get up
 
I've got a bookcase full of books
But I don't know much
I've got a room in the cellar
From a castle in the air
I've got a wardrobe full of clothes
Eaten by the moths
And I live like loose teeth
In a denture
 
But if that suffices
If that suffices
If, for you, that suffices
Then stay here
 
Stay here
 
I've got a head with a thousand dreams
And a lack of money
I've got many big plans
Which I've always postponed
I've got a house which isn't mine
And an old bike
And probably I'll die
Without anything
Without anything
 
(Chorus)
 
I've only got a heart that works
I've only got a heart that works
For the rest, little works
For the rest, nothing works
For the rest, little to nothing works
To little to nothing, nothing, nothing
 
(Chorus)
 

Parting

The end of the eighties
The end of a beautiful era
I'll no longer wait for you
I haven't got any regrets, any reproach
 
The last words have fallen
On the battlefield of happiness
For all things we feel
Confusion destroys it
 
And I don't know whether I'll miss you
I don't know how things will be from now on
I'm alone, only know
That it couldn't go on like this
 
Sometimes you don't notice
You talk a bit less with each other
And one day, you don't say anything anymore
It's a shame, that often that's the way how it goes
 
But I don't know whether I can miss you
I don't what I should do now
Perhaps a trip, call it a flight
I have to take my feelings somewhere after all
 
Surely all things will slowly
Wear out with time
Then I can start over again
That's always how it goes, always
 
But I don't know whether I can miss you
I don't know what I should do now
Maybe someone else, call it a flight
I have to take my feelings somewhere after all
 
But I don't know whether I can miss you
I don't know how things will be from now on
I'm alone
Only know
That in my head, you'll be there
 

We'll Do It Ourselves

One, two
One, two, three four!
 
We've got two legs of our own
We can walk ourselves
We've got two eyes of our own
We can watch out ourselves
 
Even with a thousand ministers
And a pope on the throne
Even with many dear mothers
We'll just do
 
We'll do it ourselves
We'll just do it ourselves
We'll do it ourselves
We'll just do it ourselves
We'll do it ourselves
We'll just do it ourselves
Never say thank you anymore
Thank you
 
Thank you
 
We have three kilos of brains
So we aren't mad
We've got a pair of strong hands
And our wishes will be fulfilled
 
And all those fancy gentlemen
God, they talk endlessly
But they haven't got anything to stand behind
Or anything to fight for, so
 
(Refrain 2x)
 
We've got a pair of hands of our own
And the blessing of the Lord
We've got three kilos of brains
So what else do we need?
 
(Refrain)
 
We'll do it ourselves
Thank you
One, two, three, four!
 

What A Wonder

She flies through my dreams like an angel
She messes up my whole life
I see her thoughts before my eyes
She has a big room in my heart
 
She walks through my head on high heels
She turns each man into a puppet
She breaks your heart into a thousand pieces
Her hands are the threads of a web
 
What a wonder
What a wonderous woman
What a wonder
What a wonderfully beautiful woman
 
She conjures with time as if it's nothing
She turns each day into an eternity
And I never wanted to believe in miracles
But she turns clear water into red wine
 
(Refrain 2x)
 
Strange things are happening
Because even if she's not with me
With my eyes closed, she draws closer
And I see heaven and paradise
 
(Refrain)
 
She can make the stars fall
She puts the world on its head
She makes a heaven out of the earth
And if feel like god
God, she drives me mad
 
(Refrain)
 

It's healthy to be mad

He walks the street
Straight to his goal
He sees a woman
He kisses her on the mouth
She startles, she says
'You must be mad'
He says 'It's healthy to be mad'
 
She wants to hit him
But he ducks right in time
She misses
She tumbles on the ground
She says 'Hey, you must be mad'
He smiles, and dances a bit about
 
It's healthy to be mad
It's healthy to be mad
Tomorrow I am God
Today I am Napoleon
It's healthy to be mad
 
He looks deep
Deep into her eyes
He says
'You have to be my one true love'
She says 'You are mad'
He says 'You are blonde
Besides, it's healthy to be mad
 
She lets him slowly
Slowly conquer her
All of the sudden, she has changed her mind
She says 'Today I want to start over again
I have been normal my entire life'
 
It's healthy being mad
It's healthy being mad
Tomorrow I am God
Today I am Napoleon
It's healthy being mad
 
(French) Yes, I am, Napoleon, But I do not speak
French. It's a miserable situation, isn't it?
And I think... I think thus I am and
And I'm mad, but... Of course
 
It's healthy being mad
It's healthy being mad
Tomorrow I am God
Today I am Napoleon
It's healthy being mad
 

The Silence

Nothing's stronger
Than the silence
Nothing has as much power
as the silence of the night
Nothing's stronger
Than the silence
Nothing's stronger than the word
Which is not heard
 
There has been said so much again today
So many people in the world
Have explained so many things
Grousing to others
By those know-it-alls
But those know-it-alls should know it all better
And forget what they all know, 'cause
 
(Refrain)
 
Anticipate your death
Feel the silence all around
Whoever can tolerate quietness
Never feels alone
Come here with me, hold me tight
And don't ask what I feel
Words way too often convey
Something I don't mean
 
(Refrain)
