1. DOWN IN THE PAST

(The Film)


2. MR MOON

Mr Moon, Mr Moon maybe your time is coming
Mr Moon, Mr Moon what's happening in the room?
We'll search our hearts before you die, let the times fade away.
It was given as a promise to each and every man.

I wanna love you but i'm growing old
Ten little soldiers screaming in my soul.
Will she come over when it's time to go, come on and show me little
Drummer boy, no
Mr Moon, Mr Moon, Mr Mooooooooon

It's sad but true, sad but true
You're telling me what to do
I've learned my lesson, a stupid question
Blowing my pride

But you're a girl, a serious girl
Showing me the world
Oh my love, you're so tired
But you're awfully quiet

I wanna love you but i'm growing old
Ten little soldiers screaming in my soul.
Will she come over when it's time to go, come on and show me little
Drummer boy, no
Mr Moon, Mr Moon, Mr Mooon.
Hey, hey, heeey.....
Mr Moon, Mr Moon, Mr Mooooooooooooon.

I wanna love you but i'm growing old
Ten little soldiers screaming in my soul.
Will she come over when it's time to go, come on and show me little
Drummer boy.

I wanna love you but i'm growing old
Ten little soldiers screaming in my soul.
They day is using up it's final bread
Another peace or so and now they don't need you,
Mr Moon, Mr Moon, Mr Mooooooooooooon.


3. THE BAND

I've played that song from long ago
When every morning longed to fall
It broke my sighs and my regrets
It stumbled on the steps
You've build for climbing towards me
Now it feels like sinners in the sun

When I say
I said I'd die for you
Or was it in my head
I took you down on ouzo
And now I think I'd rather see you dead

I said I die for you
Or was it in my head
She took me down on ouzo
And then you say you'd rather see me dead

If my depression stood the wind
I spat the devil up his chin
It couldn't do me any harm
It roughed my steel and shut my mouth
My late impression
Oh, that rain that's itching on my skin

When I say
I said I'd die for you
Or was it in my head
I took you down on ouzo
And now I think I'd rather see you dead

I said I die for you
Or was it in my head
You took me down on ouzo
And then you say you'd rather see me dead

Hold me, scratch my shoulder
Fold me, sue me, watch me going mad

I said I'd die for you
Or was it in my head
I took you down on ouzo
And now I think I'd rather see you dead

I said I die for you
Or was it in my head
She took me down on ouzo
And then you say you'd rather see me dead


4. SHEEPDOG

I aim at the first one who'll dare to stand still
Oh Lord, your tension is making me ill
You've got no friends in your home, you've got no family stone
You can't go: Yeah Yeah Yeah

Everyone, in every town, on every boat, on every trip, the multi-talanted strip,
Will gather 'round you with coke and pain
The trees, ain't no doubt about
The seeds, I had no thought about
No, Yeah Yeah Yeah

[Chorus]
Don't know why I can't locate this feeling, that I would rather be with you
It makes no sense, while crying out loud, that I may love you
This stress is wasting my emotions that I would rather be with you
Don't let them closer to this secret... that I may love you

Take 'em outa west, take 'em outa height, take 'em on a sweet ride
Those little angels are numbered nine
The colored TV once shined on desolation 1-5
They've got it! Yeah Yeah Yeah
Bust 'em in the light, bust 'em in the light, BUST 'EM IN THE DAYLIGHT
They ain't worthy being named as thieves
One of those shorties said hi up to the abbot who died
The rebound, Yeah Yeah Yeah

[Chorus]

Yeah Yeah Yeah

Now hear the bluebird whistle hymns like "I would rather heal your wounds"
Now hear the dark gun punching out that... that I may love you

Yeah Yeah Yeah...


5. PARALYZED

She ain't as beautiful as me, but she's as beautiful as she can be
She ain't as cold as she want but she want's it to boil
She ain't as cold as she can be, dont you see
It takes a fast mind to figure out, what's on this whole earth it's all about
Let 'em ride for a while, let em wonder, oh
Why it takes a faster, faster, faster mind to figure out how

[Chorus]
She's got a bent belt by her side
She's got that donkey paralyzed
She's got a cold inner wind and a ware full of sins
She's got a garagedoor where you've got lies
She's got a lifeline by her side
She's got a woman paralyzed
She's got a much elder husband than gods son himself
She's got a bagage full of hope and knives
Na! Get down!

She's selling basses down a backstreet stair
Just down the alley where theres nothin but air
And the birds took brake, round 1968
She's selling basses in a backstreet stair
She took me down when just couldnt get ahead
She took my soul when I choosed laughter instead
Let me ride for a while let me wonder, oh
How it takes a faster, faster, faster mind to figure out how

[Chorus] She's got a bent belt...

I say, no, Jody, you gotta get it quieter
I say, no, yo, you gotta get it quieter
No, I say, no, yo, you gotta get it quieter
I say, no, Jody, you gotta take it easy
I say, no, Jody won´t you give it to me louder
Please, Jody, won´t you give it to me louder
I say, now, Jody, won´t you give it to me louder
Oh, when you´re home at night and you got your hand you left on my side
I wanna hear you scream!
Ouw! Ouw! Ouw! Ouw! Ouw! Ouw! Ouw! Ouw!

[Chorus]


6. CLEAN TOWN

You wanna worship its feelings
The ones who's squeezing the shame from every man
And if mama says it's dinner time,
If she ruins your love, run away
So you live in a prison
So you're wasting your life
On a system you never will understand
Are you the one I dreamed of. Man!

[Chorus]
Clean town if you want to get away
You pack your cases and you hope for a better day
Mama's alright she said she didn't want your love
Clean town if you want to get away,
You pack your cases and you hope for a better day
Joni's alright she said she didn't want your love

Won't you walk down the main street
Take the bridge over never ending rails
And even if you're falling down
That's an open door to the outside world
So you live in a bubble
So you're wasting your life
On a system you never will understand
Are you the one I dreamed of. Man!

[Chorus]

You can drive to the east cost
Disappear for a while
Put the band-echo on, then we'll give him a ride
Are you the one I dreamed of. Man!

[Chorus]

Won't you get away...


7. GOD KNOWS

Well I turned left just like you told me to
I get excited by the moves you do
I'm on a mission and I'm gonna get away
Well I saw her standing all colored in red
I felt the blues just by the things she said
I want my mission so I can escape today

God knows - I ain't sleeping but I want my line
God knows - I ain't happy so I want it bad tonight
Oh brother can you help me out
God knows - I've got nothing so accept my time
God knows - it ain't easy to behave in this spotlight
Oh brother can you help me out
Brother can you help me out
Oh brother can you help me out

Well I turned the page from number three to four
You had nothing on you by my bedroom door
You had your mission now I'm gonna get away
When this is over and our souls are saved
When I am buried when I've got my own cave
I've done my mission so I won't be here today

God knows - I ain't sleeping but I want my line
God knows - I ain't happy so I want it bad tonight
Oh brother can you help me out
God knows - I've got nothing so accept my time
God knows - it ain't easy to behave in this spotlight
Oh brother can you help me out...
Brother can you help me out
Oh brother can you help me out
Oh brother can you help me OUT

I turned right just like I thought you would
I got excited like you said I would
I'm on a mission and I'm getting blown AWAY
Well I saw her standing all colored in red
I felt the blues just by the things she said
I want my mission so I can escape today

God knows - I ain't sleeping but I want my line
God knows - I ain't happy so I want it bad tonight
Oh brother can you help me out
God knows - I've got nothing so accept my time
God knows - it ain't easy to behave in this spotlight
Oh brother can you help me out...
All right


8. DOWN IN THE PAST

Well I don't wanna hang around with you
I've got my motor baby and I'm gonna see you through
You think I wanna be alone with you
It doesn't matter baby cause you're overreacted too
But since you're down there, where will I just be
I'm getting fine girl, dressing up for stormy weather

So touch me down in the past where my mother will last
And it's true that I'm in for a punch and a blast
Yeah down in the past where my mother will last
And she will make sure that you remember

Well I don't wanna slide away with you
I've got ten little soldiers pointing at you
Honey you just left me for a new one
It doesn't matter baby cause your hair is ugly too
But since you're down there, where will I just be
I'm getting fine girl, dressing up for stormy weather

So touch me down in the past where my mother will last
And it's true that I'm in for a punch and a blast
Yeah down in the past where my mother will last
And she will make sure that you remember

Well I don't wanna hang around with you
I've got my motor baby and I'm gonna see you through
You think I wanna be alone with you
It doesn't matter baby cause you're overreacted too

So touch me down in the past where my mother will last
And it's true that I'm in for a punch and a blast
Yeah down in the past where my mother will last
And she will make sure that you remember

That you remember...(x2)

Come on... (x5)


9. YOU CAN'T STEEL MY LOVE

I was walking down the street
With my chains chains chains
Tied up to my feet
I leaned instead of jiggie
With the sidewalk
Now this street tells the same old boring tale
That has failed in so many ways of life
To trust its stories
You've got to be dull as them

And all the love i've got in here
You've just killed you peasants
Didn't even care
The love I had in store you raped for more
And all the dreams I had in here
You've just stolen
You peasants didn't even care
But the dreams I had for her you cannot touch,
My golden hand
'Cause it's guarded by your promises
Yeah, yeah, yeah!!!

I met her in a crowded room
Where the bookshelves help you and knowledge takes your hand
I watched her beauty from an armchair
I said "Hey girl have you seen that film
With those kids in New York in the eighties
Oh, you have - Well, can I watch it with you anyway"

And all the love i've got in here
You've just killed you peasants
Didn't even care
The love I had in store you raped for more
And all the dreams I had in here
You've just stolen
You peasants didn't even care
But the dreams I had for her you cannot touch,
My golden hand
'Cause it's guarded by your promises
Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah!!!

Congratulation Mr. Major
You savior,
Betrayer,
You stinking master of trusts
How does it feel to ride all those horses
You cannot touch our hearts
When we're in bloom
I assume that we'll win over the heads again
We conceal non,
You'll feel none,
That's what I promise

And all the love we've got in store,
You can't kill You peasants!
We won it all
And the love I have for her
You cannot touch,
My golden hand,
'Cause it's guarded by your filthy promises

And all the love i've got in here
You've just killed you peasants
Didn't even care
The love I had in store you raped for more
And all the dreams I had in here
You've just stolen
You peasants didn't even care
But the dreams I had for her you cannot touch,
My golden hand
'Cause it's guarded by your promises
Yeah, yeah, yeah!!!

Honey I love you, like the summer falls
And the winter crawls you're above and beyond me
Honey I love you, like the summer falls
And the winter crawls you're above and beyond me

Honey I love you, like the summer falls
And the winter crawls you're above and beyond me


10. LONG BEFORE ROCK 'N' ROLL

She said that I like just lying on the bed
Beneath the ceiling
With the head upon my pillow
There's nothing else I'd rather do
I said that I'd rather do it on the couch
Or in the kitchen whereabout
You seem so down, child,
Like nothing could destroy your world...

But I never ever wanted to
You would never ever let me to
I would but you must wait 'till it gets dark
So what is it that you want me to
I can make it if its good for you
So play me some from 1954
Before rock 'n roll
Yeah, before Rock'n'Roll
Before Rock 'n' Roll!

Well later she came
With flowers in her arms, said
We can do it in the car
My brother owns it
The driver seat is made for us"
And I said I'd rather grab a bite to eat
There is a diner down the street
Let's take it easy
And join this lovely harmony

But I never ever wanted to
You would never ever let me to
I would but you must wait 'till it gets dark
So what is it that you want me to
I can make it if its good for you
So play me some from 1954
Before rock 'n roll
Yeah, before Rock'n'Roll
Before Rock 'n' Roll!

Yeah, yeah, yeah!
Before Rock 'n' Roll...
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
Before Rock 'n' Roll...

Long Before Rock 'n' Roll.
Before Rock 'n' Roll...

Yeah, yeah, yeaaaaaaargggggh!


11. TV AND ME

Gunned down in a fight it was a bloody pleasure
Though I couldn't walk I'm not dead
I smell the pavement and the end there's a light
And so pretty women though I couldn't see
I'm not blind and inside my mind

Fright night on the radio starving junkies on the TV
I ain't got nothing against them brother I just sit and hang around
While there's Conan something, MTV's burning up from lack of fever
I ain't got nothing against them brother I just sit and hang around
I just wish there was something more to this TV & me

Lift off into space it's all on Discovery
I don't understand why it takes so long for me to turn
So long for me to turn it off

Fright night on the radio starving junkies on the TV
I ain't got nothing against them brother I just sit and hang around
While there's Conan something, MTV's burning up from lack of fever
I ain't got nothing against them brother I just sit and hang around
I just wish there was something more to this TV & me

Well there's fright night on the radio starving junkies on the TV
I ain't got nothing against them brother I just sit and hang around
While there's Conan something, MTV's burning up from lack of mercy
I ain't got nothing against them brother I just sit and hang around TV & me


12. GOOD MORNING, HERR HORST

I've been walking down the street with a Tambourine on my feet
I'm holding every beat steady and low well if it would've been me
I would have turned into the Factory and chase that little girl black and blue

Now I'm bleeding and 'Im freezing and I'm crying once again
For monday glass, for monday glass

So if you see me on the street don't ask me about my passing days
Just slip another coin and walk away

LaLaLaLaLaLaLaLaLaLaLaLa

I once had a love of mine with a different heart in another time
I blow that off with pills and alcohol
I once had a child of mine with a different heart in another time
I blow that off with booze and lack of soul

Now I'm bleeding and 'Im freezing and I'm crying once again
For monday glass, for monday glass

So if you see me on the street don't ask me about my passing days
Just slip another coin and walk away
Yeah, slip another coin and walk away

LaLaLaLaLaLaLaLaLaLaLaLa
