Lay me down
02:33
|
|||
There once was a maid
With a birthmark on her face
And when her boss was gone
She took his bass and played a song
About a place were she belong
No more disgrace no more right or wrong
No more domestic service feeling worthless
Far away from any burden, that's for sure, and
She sang
Lay me down on the ground
So can i feel the rain dripping on my face
Lay me down on the ground
So the soil will heal the wounds i feel
I will do whatever against all odds
Fuck your religion and your conservative thoughts
Im on a mission from God cause he said
Burn all my books, they were created by man

Big low
01:41
|
|||
I don't know what I was thinking
But I was going low.
I don’t know what I was drinking
But I was going low
Low is a real high feeling
Big low is what I’m meaning
I am going low.
I don’t know who did what to whom
But it felt so low.
And I don’t know who just kicked right through me
But it hit me low.
Low is a real high feeling
Big low is what I’m meaning
I am going low.
Oh hoho
I am going low
BIG LOW !

Down by the riverbanks

Down by the riverbanks
Up to the mountains
Through the old oak forest
There where i found him
A small blossom tree appeared
On the misty mountain
The blossoms they were shining bright
The day i found him
Laylay
Down by the riverbanks
Up to the mountains
Time it was passing by
But nobody's counting
I couldn't say goodbye
On the misty mountains
I did not speak and i did not cry
The day i found him
Laylay
Do not bury him in the village
As the mountains are his home
Do not bury him in the churchyard
As there is no way to roam
Do not bury him

Armed on the farm
04:17
|
|||
Add another flame to our forest
Steal more corn from the barn
Next year we won’t harvest
We will be armed on the farm
Take more fish out of the river
Throw your waste into the sea
When you’ll threat us we won’t shiver
We will be armed, you’ll see
|
||||
5. |
||||
Don’t ever tell me you worked hard for it
Your right is an illusion, the brick doesn’t fit
Don’t ever tell me there’s no way out
We’ll throw the crops into the crowd!
Take me home where there is no bothering,
no telephone, no debt, no lottery
The land gets fertile if we burn your house
We’ll throw a party that no one would allow
No feast without a feast within
The lines get blurred, the wall is thin

The moon
03:38
|
|||
I believe it when I see you shining so bright
Your light gaze softly, on my eyes
I know that this is the time, for us two
I start my running, in direction of you
And when I start to run, there’s a spell that’s holding me back and
I can’t reach, but I’m sure, this time is the time
I once said, that there’s nothing that’s worth to die for
And now I’m the fool, in love with the moon
ooooohooooohooooohoooohooooohoooooohoooooh
Dancing with the stars and our mother earth
Makes me smile and howl all through the search for you
There are days when I forget all else in sight
I’m running, I’m running, I’m running towards your light

Darkness
02:07
|
|||
Another morning in tears
I was deep into space-time
In my rotten black holed eyes
No sun will shine
You said “ it will be romantic
There’s beauty in darkness”
No there is not!
It will try to kill us
It will kill my feelings
And it will kill my light
Extraterrestrial beings
Will kill my appetite
I will eat an apple
I hope it will help
I’m not a good example
I will probably go to Hell
You said “ it will be romantic
There’s beauty in darkness”
No there is not!
It will try to kill us
You said “ it will be romantic
There’s beauty in darkness”
No there is not!
It will try to kill us
It will try to kill us
It will kill us

Run fox
02:44
|
|||
So we know him for over a year now
first he was a bit shy
foxy legs and crossed eyes
in the forest he just passed by
Run fox Run fox,
Gunshots Gunshots
Run fox Run fox
fox goes faster
He was searching for some inspiration
in the shimmering lights of the day
walk in the shadows of the trees
biting all the hunters on his way
Our fox got home to get his flute
to play them some magic tunes
tunes that only fox can hear
fox knows no fear

Mermaid song
04:02
|
|||
We found ourselves on the bottom of the sea
An empty place, no sunlight and no trees
We lived together with the deep sea community
We had breakfast with a pelican eel
And swam together to places so unreal
Sing along with the mermaid song
down in the deep sea waters
Out of the gutter and down in the water
to the mermaid headquarters
There is no place showing affinity to the deep sea underground
So keep your mermaid fin twirled
and sing along with the mermaid song
sing along with the mermaid song
sing along with the mermaid song
hey hey hey.

The road
04:30
|
|||
Dark desert island, endless blue sea
Rocky volcano, the cry of banshee
Moonlight and campfire, dark starry night
I guess this the road but i'll be doing all right
I sang: oohooohoo when you're out on the road
Bamboo skirt shaking, it's shaking the ass
Turtles are dreaming of a long lived past
I am going down, down to my soul
I guess this is an adventure, life's rock and roll
Peacocks are screaming, they're mad in their minds
O it's going down on jaguars roaring time.
Music is rambling into my brain
I guess this is adventure but i'm going insane
The sand it is bolling, it's eating my toes
Jesus it's hot I can feel it in my bowels
The cook , is just shouting this boy is good
I'll guess I'll be eaten, but I hope I'll taste good
This story has no moral, but one thing is fine
Travelling is good for heart, soul and mind
And there's no beginning, there's just no end
Just a few words about the road my friend.
