SIDE A

PLAYLAND FASCINATION
(music:C.Bohn & M.Rürup - words: C.Bohn)

Let's go down
to the ball
down on 42nd. Str.
let's go donutz
we've got nothing to loose
the world is a pinball
in a crazy machine
so get some change
and drop the dime for a game
Let's go down
to the ball
down on 42nd. Str.
let's go down

you can have some fun awhile
and you can buy the pleasure
you can meet the supergirls
an' you can win a treasure
nothing is impossible
it's fascination time

fun and pleasure on the street
it's the place where all the action's happenin'
this is where the hang-outs meet
and the problems fade by finger-snappin'
daylife seems so far away
and the 9 to 5 is non existence
jump right in to night-life's treat
I don't need to hear
the news of the past
I don't wanna know

ZOMBIE ZONE
music/words: Carsten Bohn

I met him on the street
it was late at night
he was one of those hangouts
he looked kind of tight
he asked me for a smoke
or something to inhale
and I hand' him a joke
he turned immidiatly pale
he said, he was a stranger
in a foreign land
he had no bucks for changes
he was in demand
for some snapshots
or some of them hotspots
but I couldn't get it right
what he was lookin' for
so I offered him a story
it was kind of poor, I said:

last night in the zombie zone
I had my fun but I decided to go jo-jo
last night in the zombie zone
I had my fun but I decided to go jo-jo

he looked me in the eye and said:
are you for real?
I told him, yes indeed and that's the way I feel
he stumbled and he whispered:
oh my god what a mess
this man is even crazier than me I guess
I didn't want to tell him
that he was quite right
I couldn't share my secret
in the first terra night
so I hit the street life
sweet taste of heat and jive
everything I need is a supermarket-shirt
and hookers on the street
an' a cheap inflation flirt, so I said
waahoo

last night in the zombie zone
I had my fun but I decide to go jo-jo
last night in the zombie zone
I had my fun but I decide to go jo-jo

many people tell me that it's different to take
walkin' down the streets with no sense for a brake
goin' late and gettin' laid
I give a fuck and I will give it straight
I don't need no good advice to go my own way
I don't need your pleasure because I can say I was

last night in the zombie zone
I had my fun but I decide to go jo-jo
last night in the zombie zone
I had my fun but I decide to go jo-jo (repeat twice)

many people try to get real cool
in sight, outside, fuck it, there are too many rules
everything I need is a supermarket-shirt
and hookers on the street and a cheap inflation flirt,
so I said:

last night in the zombie zone
I had my fun but I decide to go jo-jo

MONEY SHUFFLE
music:manfred rürup/words:carsten bohn

The rules on Wall-Street
the Stock-Exchange rotation
the war-investment
the same old explanation
Big deal (there's no mistake in the game that we think is the best)
Best deal (we only follow the mass on her way to the rest)

I will sell my gold
my silver an' my watch 'n' ring
and possibly my everything
some of these values are too old
why shouldn't I get rid of them now
I need the money anyhow
only when I see a queeny walking round the palace
with a million worth of diamonds on her chest
it makes me think of different ways to make a living
but again I need the money for the daily bread an' butter
and the pleasure to be living here today

the rules on Wall-Street
the Stock-exchange rotation
the war-investment
the same old explanation
Big deal (there's no mistake in the game that we think is the best)
Best deal (we only follow the mass on her way to the rest)

can we spend some time
I need someone to talk to me
about a lifetime-guarantee
can we share a dime
I offer you my fantasy
inventions for the factory
only when I see a queeny walking round the palace
with a million worth of diamonds on her chest
it makes me think of different ways to make a living
but again I need the money for the daily bread an' butter
and the pleasure to be living here today

prime recession time
mean insanity

MORAL CANYON
music/words: Carsten Bohn

In the canyons of your moral dream
there's a valley
you would like to see
so you search with all your fantasy
but's hard to know
where to go
someone told you
it's an easy way
and you feel
you've never been so close
but the moral preacher
jumps right in
and he blows it all
to pieces
preachers and religions
and a fake morality
church of law and order
and instructions to be free
you can have it all on sundays
you can dial a good advice
you can even kiss the hands of the pope
and listen to his lies

you can have it all on sundays
you can dial a good advice
you can even kiss the hands of the pope
and listen to his lies
"work and pay to pray,
and be thankful everyday
feel the spirit of the lord
even though he might be bored
he's expecting that you give him everything
even if you can't afford"

LARSON PARSON
music/words:carsten bohn

I've got my place in the hall of fame
I've got my share of fortune
I even have two luxury cars
and a swimming pool to jump in
but I miss the taste of life
fascination over-drive
part of rough-time-give-and-take
the balls to leave the safe side
for a snake
I've got my contracts all in shape
an' I get a tough promotion
I've got more girls that I can rape
with a built-in-stunt-emotion
but I miss the taste of life
fascination over-drive
part of rough-time-give-and-take
the balls to leave the safe side
for a snake

shame...
who is to blame
if you can't hold the fame
in the case of everlasting sympathy
who is to blame
if you can't make every day the same

(repeat from the top)
SIDE B

WRONG FONG LOOK BACK
music/words: carsten bohn

Wrong fong look back
he's a memorizer off the track
an' he is motivated
to locate your purpose

supersensible machine
whipes your future of the present screen
and there's no need to call for help
you're all alone here

time processor on delay
reinforce the signal to o.k.
he will analyse the spectrum
of your functions

hyper sensitive on reel
check the frequency on how you feel
send to audio research
on channel zero

(repeat slowly)

fade out with:
minovino dingdong
my watch is made in hong-kong
yowjowyooh

PARA DICE
music/words:manfred rürup

I heard you talkin' 'bout the good old days
the good times that seem to be gone
you say, you've looked around
'n' all the troubles seem to be too strong
yesterdays have so many stories
you're glad you remember them all
the friends, the songs, the trips we made
are deep down in your soul
(para dice is right inside, you will get there if you try)

the voice on the radio told you
to take a walk by the wild of life
but you've been there in the few years
and you still don't know how to decide
you sure make money with the job that you've got
it pays you rent and it keeps you alive
but the years go by an' what you had in mind
is driftin' away for the jive
(para dice is right inside, you will get there if you try)

wave computers and the media scene
a future uncontrolled controll
if you don't fight back
you'll loose the chance to make your own thing go
don't waste time in your memory dream
'cause tomorrow wants to grow
the 60's are gone, the 70's too
the presence is made by you
(para dice is right inside, you will get there if you try)

I heard you talkin' 'bout the good old days
the good times that seem to be gone
you say, you've looked around today
an' all the troubles seem to be too strong
yesterdays have so many stories
you're glad you remember them all
the friends, the songs, the trips we made
are deep down in your soul . . .
(para dice is right inside, you will get there if you try)

DEPRESSINO
music/words: carsten bohn

Survival from the nightmare
it follows up your day
the early mornin' pressure
will not leave you right away
the dream was quite extreme
you shoot him right between the eyes
and there she is again
bod-naked, servin' ugly guys

uuhh she's so beautiful, a gipsy queenylino
the perfect hot-piece-lady-cake
to rise my penelino
she made our love-drive last from hell to breakfast easylino
now she's gone, I'm depressino

you gave her everything a man has, possibly, to offer
including all the extras making sex a little tougher
the multispeed-vibrator and the gum to make it rougher
action-spray, extansion-pills, perfumed sheets, suspended thrills

Uhhh she's so beautiful, a gipsy queenylino
the perfect hot-piece-lady-cake
to rise my penelino
she made our love-drive last from hell to breakfast easylino
now she's gone, I'm depressino

please my friend to bother me
I've got my own conclusion
and I don't think you'll get too far with all your tool illusion
the only way for you might be a sexual revolution

Uhhh she's so beautiful, a gipsy queenylino
the perfect hot-piece-lady-cake
to rise my penelino
she made our love-drive last from hell to breakfast easylino
now she's gone, I'm depressino...

PARK PROBLEM
music/words:carsten bohn

she was the "hello"of the park
she used to fuck with every stranger
the rob's forgot her in the dark
she had no program rearranger

her modified processor made her run for every man
the art-official-wish to be in love with every man
she couldn't stand to miss a tail for any bigger reason
she had her lifetime-season

she hit the town in just a day
she got an offer for a blow-job
she didn't have a word to say
she blew too hard and made the balls popp

her modified processor made her run for every man
the art-official-wish to be in love with every man
she couldn't stand to miss a tail for any bigger reason
she had her lifetime-season

she was the problem of the park
she had a fable for emotion
and all the hornies in the dark
they ran for help and loves's devotion

she hit the town in just a day
she got an offer for a blow-job
she didn't have a word to say
she blew too hard and made the balls popp

she was the problem of the park
she used to fuck with every stranger
the rob's forgot her in the dark
she had no program-rearranger

POP SONG
music/words:carsten bohn

This is just what the world needs
another boring pop-song
a lot of cheap emotions
and a hookline with a thrill
the company will like it
my producer's gettin' richer
and the money's floating in
for all my luxurous dreams to fill

I wanna get away from the hungry days
I wanna have it all right now
I wanna make the scene
there's gotta be a way where all my dreams come true
there's gotta be a chance for me
I want the purple screen
an' here comes my theme

it's a nice sunny day
everybody's feelin' fine
an' a warm breeze is blowin' through the streets
things are goin' easy way
a party offers vine
and a gorgeous little girl
is walkin' in super-skin-tight-sheets

but I had only eyes for your
erotic pair of zulas
I couldn't take a brake in staring
at your legs and hulas, oh no
yes I'm in love with you now

how you like my pop song
does make you feel allright
are the words all making sense
is my hookline good an' tight
does it grab you by your heart
will you buy my song today
anyway...

repeat from the top

Van Band
music/words:manfred rürup

I was drivin' down the highway
the sun was goin' down
got your picture on my mind
and some lovely days behind
you said you won't forget me
when you looked me in the eye
now I really hope
you don't fool me twice

but the boys in the band
and the girls in the van
singin' song, makin' jokes
that only they can understand
got some sticks on my head
and the music's not bad
so I ain't got a reason to cry...

next time when I see you
'n' I hope it will be soon
we take a walk together
by the spotlight of the moon
noone's gonna stop us
this way or another
we'll spend the night together
and give it to each other

and tonite on the stage
when the music is loud
when they turn on the lights
it will be allright
with the girls in the frontrow
the sreaming routine
we are knocking the night away

baby I can't stop it
my heart is still with you
the tour is going on
'n' I don't know what to do
I hate to decide between you and the road
an' I see no solution
to take away the load

but the boys in the band
and the girls in the van
singin' song, making jokes
that only they can understand
got some stick on head
and the music's not bad
so I ain't got a reason to cry...

Statements about CB RADIO

Few activities have stirred such an enthusiastic response and fewer still have continued ever greater interest with the passage of time as CB RADIO has. The explanation must be more than mere faddism. Indeed, CB RADIO seems destined to become an American institution.
CB RADIO divides into two basic categories, base and mobile. Mobile operation is highly popular among CBers. A very important part of the CB RADIO is the antenna. CB RADIO is a very convenient way to stay in touch.
Lingo is CB RADIO Slang-as spoken, it becomes a chant, with meter and rhyme as set and patterned as in poetry. This is CB RADIO at its most enjoyable. CB RADIO is a many faceted medium. Regardless of your choice, CB RADIO stand ready to meet your needs.
CB RADIO has a potential for almost everyone. The public finally became aware of the potential of CB RADIO.
Despite its increasing influence, though, CB will not be the catalyst for another revolution of the violent nature. Yet, in a limited sense, it will be indeed a revolution. As we perceive it, the next years will be different for a certain number of reasons.
The CB RADIO can do a lot of good things for us all.
Today, you and your family, can enjoy CB RADIO to your hearts' content. After using CB RADIO, many people come to wonder how they ever got along without CB. That might happen to you... and there's more to come.
