SIDE A

TODAY IN THE CITY
well i came today into the city
and i didn't find it that pretty
but it seems like everything is getting better

most of the people got somethin' to do
and they try to be so natural too
to cheese is the thing
a smile on all the faces

i saw my mother and brother
father, sister and others
and i went into a club
to hear some music

i met some of my older friends
they were drinkin' and laughin' and makin' plans
telling bits of business and the profit

they said: hey man, what're you doin' in town?
and i said: i'm just lookin' around
tryin' to find musicians i can play with

now we're gettin' to the point
of what i really felt
when i was in the middle of their beers and cheers
but i realy will not waste my time
by mentioning the different sorts of wine
'cause that's allright

i spent the last years on the countryside
i was tryin' to find the peace of mind
and the balance deep inside
and now that i'm here back in town
i feel i'm strong enough
to go through all the motions
with a mind that's really tough

On The Scene
on the scene,the business screen
a lot of crazy people who just like to be seen
hello, how are you and what's goin' on
is your album sellin' good
and is your single comin' strong

who is the monster of the game
and who is the master of the fame
or are we nearly just the same
hey, i'd like to know your name

hootchie-cootchie-man are you goin' insane
or are you hooked on somethin' weird?
he my friend don't you know who i am
the only difference is i've cut my beard

and there's wine and whiskey
and a girl by your side
a little sniff from time to time
you are playin' the pool
with a sense for the cool
and try hard to keep that stupid mime

you had five revivals in the last two years
you played the blues,the rock and roll
and today you say, punk is okay
and you don't care if it only gets sold

and your eyes are red,
is it true what you said,
you're writin' love-songs all the time
about kiss and pleasure,
heart and treasure
to earn that livin' dime

on the scene the business screen
a lot of crazy people just like to be seen
helloo, how are you and what's goin' on
is your album sellin' good
and is your single comin' strong

who is the monster of the game
and who is the master of the fame
or are we nearly just the same
hey i'd like to know your name

who is the monster of the game
who is the master of the fame

(repeat until you get unconscicous)

LADY ESTER'S MOISTURE TOUCH
lady esther moistures her skin
she's not aware of the torture she begins

darlin' i just try to look a little better
make up on my face is safe in every weather
and i'm realy feelin' light as a feather yeah

now she's shure that every inch of her is fine
and she walks into the kitchen
where she left that glass of wine

hurry up my dear it,s time for the showdown
you know we've got an hour to drive from here to downtown
and bob and suzan they don't like when we're gettin' late

gotta get movin' the lady wants to fly
gotta get movin' you shouldn't miss to try
gotta get movin' don't care for bob and su
gotta get movin' the moisture is for you

let me tell you now
i turned around the car and i drove into the park
i couldn't see her face but i could smell it in the dar

'what the hell does this mean come on honey
do you realy think this place is so funny
and i don't know what's goin' on in your crazy mind

i stopped the engine and i turned off all the lights
so fascinated by that smell and ready for the sights
so i ripped off her mask and i put it in her plummy
then i heard her screamin':
boy you little dummy,
didn't you know that i got moistured on my spotlight too?

gotta get movin' the lady wants to fly
gotta get movin' you shouldn't miss to try
gotta get movin' don't care for bob and su
gotta get movin' the moisture is for you

you gotta get movin'

i've never tasted your kind of spirit
i allways kept on burnin' the weed
but please don't go away when you hear it
it might turn you loose In your seed

'cause there's one thing
that's definitly shure now
that you are right now listening to me

and i see no reason
in changin' your life-style
'cause you are what you want yourself to be
yes you are

PRETTY FORMAL NORMAL INSTRUMENTAL

Well, no text -- this is an instrumetal...

SIDE B

SIX INCH HIT
sorry I have to go now baby
I wish you all the best
I couldn't stand no longer baby
and I didn't want to wait for the rest

but I'm shure you'll find another man
who can love you like I did
who can share all the tears and laughter with you
all alone on the highway

sorry I have to go now baby
I didn't wanna make you cry
give the new day a chance and start to romance
and don't worry 'bout the reason why

there's nothin' more to say now baby
no reasons that are worth to find
the only thing that counts is the feeling baby
and i've got you still on my mind

we've been together in good and bad days
lookin' for a place to stay
and we laid our heads on many old blankets
swearin' this is not the way

and we had our ups and we had our downs
the moonlight and the sunshine
the days when we sat there wondering
about the lowdown and the highline

sorry i have to go now baby
i wish you all the best
i couldn't stand it no longer baby
and i didn't want to wait for the rest

but i'm shure you'll find another man
who can love you like i did
who can share all the tears and laughter with you
all alone on the highway

sorry i have to go now baby
i didn't wanna make you cry
give the new day a chance
and start to romance
and don't worry 'bout the reasons why

FOR BETTER OR VERSE, OR WHAT MAKES A MAN G.l.B.? *
now you're independent and living on your own
you have more time to think,
and you don't feel so alone
you've thought about the different men
and all the lines you've heard
you've come to the conclusion
that you've dated many nerds
they love your hair,
they love your eyes
they even love your nose
but most of all they love you,
stripped off all your clothes

they think they are original
they think they are great lovers
they are realy all so horny
they'd hustle their own mothers
so next time that he's begging you
to kindly get undressed
let him know his body
really leaves you unimpressed

although i'm not a nympho,
i've been around enough
to know that some can't please me,
they haven't got the stuff
they seem to think between their legs
there lies a magic wand
and simply by it's being there,
that it can turn you on

but i will disagree with them,
that's not all that it takes
for if that were what turned me on,
i'd own a pit of snakes
and never has to beg
his passion lies between his ears
and not between his legs
i prefer them when they're sensual
and spot them when they are whether it be on the street
or in the local bar
they have that certain something
you really can't explain
but just by being near to them
you're driven quite insane

they think.......
although ........

now you're independent
and livin' on your own
you have more time to think,
you don't feel so alone
so look back on your past affairs,
hey're really quite amusing and continue being choosy
'cause you're not the one that's losin'
you've thought about the different men,
and all the lines you heard
you've come to the conclusion,
you've dated many nerds
some men would read this verse
and laugh at women's lib,
but those men don't belong in bed,
but in a baby's crib

they think........
although ........

Humor Rumor
name the games
hot tv-flames
elephants and politicians
social-life and weird magicians
violence to feed the nation
humanity and immitation
news and blues the entertainer
nature's motherhood
packed in containers

oh when insanes come runnin' in
i won't be there and i won't begin
to sing for glory hare church bell
oh when insanes come crumblin' in.

headfarm and body-lotion
headache charme and the moveless motion
i don't need this presentation
of your weird imagination
in your words and in your mind
suspiscious is your output
and your daily clockwork leaves no time
for something to make you feel good

you argue with a sick'n mind
and blow by blow you stick behind
complainin' 'bout the times and so
you make me feel like i'll better go

and it's comin' up clear on my mind
what to take care of
and what to leave behind
i've talked to my friends
what begins and what ends
memories on photographs
shadows on the future
i'm reading the papers
'bout this and 'bout that
they tell you it's good
while you know that it's bad
you're aware of your time
but you just don't have a dime
memories are fadin'
that's time and those waves

little room that i used to live in
i feel i've gotta go back there
and by chance the phone might ring
to bring some change into the atmosphere

Waitin' For Your Loving

here i am
sittin' by the window
lookin' down on the street
i see the people walk their shoes off the feet
and i guess that everybody down there's doin' fine
and i'm still lookin' for that girl of mine

where are you now?
where are you now?

I run to the phone and i hear you say
it might be getting late
so i sit myself in that big old chair
grab a book 'cause i just don't like to wait
but the more i try to relax myself
and cool the heat that's burnin'
my ears are reflecting every sound
and i wish the kev would be turnin'

where are you now?
where are you now?

waitin' for your lovin'
i'm waitin' for your lovin' through the night
waitin' for your lovin'
i'm waitin' for your lovin' through the night

i wrote this song in a million years
in a moment full of sadness
it's not that i'm tryin' to hide my tears
it's not of that tragic madness
and i won't be crying at your shoulder love
when you'll be by my side
but i just can't stand to wait here
in that cold and lonely night

where are you now?
where are you now?

waitin' for your lovin'
i'm waitin' for your lovin' through the night
waitin' for your lovin'
i'm waitin' for your lovin' through the night
