1. CHAROLAIS BOOGIE

All right! You keep on dancing, that's the real stuff ladies
and gentlemen! Just call it the Charolais Boogie all you got to do is dance, jump, and stomp, and may be listen to my story, too.

I know a cute little chick, her name's Mary Paule,
She lives upon a hill in the country not so far from Charolles.
Just a' flying as an angel when she dances a rock'n'roll,
she makes me feel like I want her to be my body doll.

Hey Mary Paule don't cheat on me I've heard you got a little oven,
Y'know that one with a little soft pink button to squeeze when open.
Me I got a big long Charolais roti which needs cooking again
C'mon Mary let me put it in, swear I'll pay you back no other man.

Well she turn at me and smile, kissin' my nose softly,
She said tonight home, I'll solve your problem, it's quite easy.
But right now all you got to do is come and dance with me
Cos' that roti you got can wait a little, and now it's time to boogie, to do the Charolais Boogie!!


2. DON'T MISS ME

Now you hold your gun, and you swear you gonna shoot me,
Tired of lack of fun, you say is spending life with me.
Looking down your eyes, I'm sure you really mean it,
The way your hand is trembling, I'm sure you're bond to do it

(Chorus)
I'm not sure it's the best way to put an end to our love
but if you need to calm down you may try it once
but don't miss me, don't miss me girl
cos I won't

but don't miss me, don't miss me girl cos I won't is it really my fault
If you took me as a saint sure I tired to be one, but now I'm sure I ain't.
OK, bible says you can burn what you've adored,
But I know a song sayin' "Gimme three steps toward the door"

(Chorus)

Now you had your chance, but you can see I'm still alive
panic on your face, from a high cliff you could dive.
But don't you worry babe, our love is worth a slaughter there's no meaning, nor cruelty in my laughter

I sure know a better way to put an end to our love, all you have to do is come down here
closer, closer, closer...


3. HUNGRY DOG

Waiting at your backdoor night and day,
Peering at your Windows from across the way
Howlin' like a wolf when you Pass me by,
Trace you in the street, my tail up to the sky.
I know I'm acting stupid like a dog in the manger.

Crawling at your feet as little puppy,
A single little smile could make me happy,
but all you do is turn up your nose at me,
treatin' me like I'm your enemy.
Give a dog a bad name, that's all your friends've done to me.

Since I met you babe, I'm acting like a hungry dog

Throwin' to the dog my job and pride
Honey my love for you I just can't hide,
I'm living for the moment you'll be my Bride,
Each dog has his day, time's on my side.
I can't believe that I ain't got a dog's chance to make you love me.

Since I met you babe, I'm acting like a hungry dog.


4. PAINT IT "BLUES"
(words: Excerpts from "Paint It Black": Jagger/Richards)


5. HOPES OF GLORY

Hopes of glory, that's all I got as I left my home
Hopes of glory, deep in my heart as I started to roam, Hopes of glory, I've got to realised on my own,
I didn't know nothing 'bout the world outside
But what the elders told me but they lied

(Chorus)
They took me for a ride
They gonna find out that I've got my pride
Now I can feel the tide
of all the power I've got inside

Oh baby,I've got to leave you and carry on,
Oh baby, though I'll never forget what you've done.
Baby baby, don't worry 'bout me I'll never be alone,
I've got my guitar strung across my back
And I can play blues harp along the track.

(Chorus)

Hopes of glory, I wrote it on my bedroom's wall,
Hopes of glory, now I'm gone far beyond recall
Hopes of glory, nobody'll steer me from my goal,
All the business sharks tryin' to do me wrong
I turn a deaf ear to their song.

(Chorus)

Can't stand another day,
Got to be on my way.
My pledge I can deny,
I won't stop playing, til I die - playin' till I die.


6. WAITING FOR A MISSION

They've pick up when I was close to the end,
Said " C'mon boy, you're much too young to give in"
They took me with, and soon I was on the mend,
Then slowly they put me back in the swim.

(Chorus)
Now I'm ready, now I'm tough
I've been trained, far enough
ain't got no pity, need my dough
I'm waiting for a mission

I really don't care which side they're on,
Still I don't know that they trained me for,
All I'm sure is that I'm gonna carry on
Don't wanna be back in the street any more!

(Chorus)

Now good or evil they don't mean nothing to me,
Washing my brain, they made a perfect machine,
And that gun they gave me sure ain't a dummy,
I'm only waiting for my signal to turn to green

(Chorus)

7. I'M YOUR SAVIOUR

I was sleepy standing in line,
at the house of unemployed,
here came a slim tall bearded man
well be looked like much annoyed,

I said don't worry, boy, have a puff,
you sure ain't the first on their list,
and as he was poking on my joint
I saw the bad marks on his wrist,

He said "I'm your saviour,
DAddy just sent me back tonight,
I'm your saviour, but what I found here,
It sure ain't right".

Sure I made a mistake, he said,
when I promised lord's redemption
to every member of our holy club
whatever gravity of their action.

On the TV set in my motel room
nothing but blood and war,
torture, rape and violence
and making calling for encore.

I'm your saviour,
but I'm afraid I'm back too late,
I'm your saviour,
but here I don't see no candidate.

Better fly back trough the space,
tell my father illost my bet
tell him to forget 'bout this place,
and try it all again on another planet.
well a young sec walked to him
and asked what wasyour job before?

He look at her, smile,
saying "Love and come for more"
she called the door man who kicked him out
with a big kick down his back,
as he was rolling down the sters
she shouted " you damn'd sex maniac!!"

He cried " I'm your saviour,
my daddy just sent me back tonight
I'm your saviour,
but wath I found here, it sure ain't right."

I let you nail me on the cross
but now I sure regret,
no more I'll waste my life for you
nor change your piss for muscadet,

better fly back through the space
tell my father I lost my bet,
tell him to forget about this place
and try it all again, an another planet.

9. I'M GONNA RISE

I was diving diving diving again,
deep down in my errors well,
and the little patch of blue sky over
my head was getting smaller as I fell.

Still I could see my old friends
learning, some of them reaching their hands,
holding ropes I couldn't grasp,
I guess they'll get tired in the end

Unconscious kind of suicide,
but some words kept me alive
ringing as church bells in my head,
tell me it's time to thrive,

I'm gonne Rise...

But deeper deeper deeper Isank,
drowning in my madness sea,
and my nightmare sky is getting darker,
helping hands I cannot see.

The increasing pressure of all my problems
is just about stifling me,
as my amour of pride and selfishness
is cracking and they flow in free.
Unconscious kind...

I'm gonna rise...

Feel like a broken space ship,
swallowed by a big black hole
feel like an elder actor
who forgot all about his role.
I'm slowy back to the womb,
crawling as a deaf blind mole.
But still those words, they haunt me

I'm gonne rise!

Day after day, night after night
I was getting closer to the bottom,
down there a sad pale guy was looking at me,
I wondered where I does he come from.

But soon I realised that poor ghost
was the reflection of my own face,
and the black cold mirror I was reaching,
was a door between life and death.

But the fear brought to me a good reaction,
carrying me back to real world again,
now I'm wildy swimming up toward the light
with an absessive throught in my brain

I'm gonna rise

Meet my friends
Look at the sun
Shout in the air
Take my place
Back in the block
Speed through the world
Like a mad freight train
love the people
love the hearth
Be positive as I can

I'm gonna rise
I'm gonna rise, yeah!

10. SAMA YAMA ROAD BLUES

Down the dirty olds roads of ex-DDR,
that's the same old story, wherever you are.
Holes and bumps all over the place,
looks like the skin of a syphillitic's face,
but it all right, my belt is fastened tight,
I got to carry on, I've got a gig tonight

(Chorus)
We're here for the music,
we got nothing to loose
We have a good time singing
the Samayama Road Blues

From time to time we get trapped in "staus",
man that make you feel like your far from house,
cos there in you can stay stucked all day long
crying "my kingdom for an umleitung"
but it's all right, Volker's got is map,
when there ain't no way out I'll have a little nap

(Chorus)

Get me a Jenaer pils to quench my thirst,
next imbiss, I'll have a thuringer bratwurst.
I miss good old brittany's ocean breeze,
the salty butter and the stinky fat cheese
but it's allright, people here're so great
we got to play tonkght and we won't be late

(Chorus)
