歌词


1. A VICTORY OF LOVE

Waiting for a change in the weather
I'm waiting for a shift in the air,
Could we get it together - ever -
Hoping for your return
Hoping for your sweet, sweet return

Hello - is this heaven calling?
Hello - hello
Is somebody there?
She must be somewhere
And then she says
Hello - hello - hello
She's really an angel -
She stands in the sunshine
She's closing her eyes -
She's starting to dream
She's pulling the strings
She's dreaming a strange dream
Where nothing is grey -
Then she takes me away
And she's pulling the strings
When she's playing with love

She's playing with love, hello - hello
Counting - I count every second
And I'm standing
I stand in the rain,
I walk up that lane
Which leads to the sunshine
She stands in the sunshine
She's closing her eyes
Then she takes me away
And she's pulling the strings
When she's playing with love

She's playing with love
Hello - hello


2. SUMMER IN BERLIN

This days an invitation
And it's just for you
You've got a reservation
For the 17th of june
Open your eyes and let the sun break in for a while
There may be something that you've never seen inside

Feel how your heart beats like a
Heavy machine
The sound of the traffic is like a
Silent dream
The dust in the park, the exhaust from the cars
Ascends in that heated afternoon
You touch a sweaty body

Summer in berlin, it's alright
The day feel so tired from the led in the air and the fire in the sky
Life seemed to be a fault of grace but it's okay
It gave you a kiss in the middle of the crossroads

Summer in Berlin, it's alright
The heat of the sun which is stored in the pavement feels so fine
Here stands the innocent and there it comes oh so wild
That's when you're longing for a summer by the wall

Summer in berlin, it's okay


3. BIG IN JAPAN

Winter's cityside
Crystal bits of snowflakes all around my head and in the wind
I had no illusions
That I'd ever find a glimpse of summer's heatwaves in your eyes
You did what you did to me, now it's history I see
Here's my comeback on the road again
Things will happen while they can
I will wait here for my man tonight, it's easy when your big in japan

When your big in japan, tonight
Big in japan, be tight, big in japan where the eastern sea's so blue
Big in japan, alright, pay, then I'll sleep by your side
Things are easy when you're big in japan, when you're big in japan

Neon on my naked skin
Passing silhouettes of strange illuminated mannequins
Shall I stay here at the zoo
Or should I go and change my point of view for other ugly scenes
You did what you did to me, now it's history I see...
Things will happen while they can
I will wait here for my man tonight, it's easy when you're big in japan

When your big in japan, tonight
Big in japan, be tight, big in japan where the eastern sea's so blue
Big in japan, alright, pay, then I'll sleep by your side
Things are easy when you're big in japan, when you're big in japan

When your big in japan, tonight
Big in japan, be tight, big in japan where the eastern sea's so blue
Big in japan, alright, pay, then I'll sleep by your side
Things are easy when you're big in japan, when you're big in japan


4. TO GERMANY WITH LOVE

I am an emigree, I write to germany
In foreign words, a tongue of actuality
Hands in grey gloves
To germany with love
A war between the wars
A war between the wars

Triumph over bygone sorrow
Can in unity be won
Let them all persue this purpose
Till reality is gone
I am an unexpected spy
From the outside of my eye
Translate it first then comprehend
I'm here indeed but there I stand

I write to germany, I write to germany
To germany with love, to germany with love

This is the turn of colours
All real, some still unseen
There is no more decision cause there's too much in between
Let us build a nightmare nation
Learn and work as never yet
That this cold new generation faith in its own fears beget
Here comes the modern rat, here comes the terror squad
Ours is the salt of wisdom, here we come all dressed in black
From the ruins risen slowly to the future turned we stand
Flourish in this blessing glory
Flourish german fatherland

I write to germany, I write to germany
All quiet in germany, all quiet in germany


5. FALLEN ANGEL

I hear those voices on the radio
I switched it off because she told me so
She's an investigator, she's like an elevator
Nobody told me we'd be all alone, you know
Somewhere my friend had left me in that twilight zone, you know
She said, I've seen your deepest secrets now
They're just as lightning in the look of your eyes

I said, I want you baby, isaid, I want some more
I said, I never ever felt it like that moment before
She's an assassin, she's melting steel in my heart
And I beg for more
She said, I want your body, she said, I want your soul
She said, a fallen angel takes it and she'll never let go
She's an invader, she's from another world
And I beg for more and more

She's raising feelings cutting like a knife
She's pouring fire into my liquid life
There's no escaping from her mysteries
She gives me kisses of the strangest kind, she says
I know you'll like it, so come over here, she says
And let that rhythm filter through your body, dear
And then she...
She always did it and she always will
She'll stay that hunter till the end of time

I said, I want you baby, isaid, I want some more
I said, I never ever felt it like that moment before
She's an assassin, she's melting steel in my heart
And I beg for more
She said, i want your body, she said, I want your soul
She said, a fallen angel takes it and she'll never let go
She's an invader, she's from another world
And I beg for more and more..


6. FOREVER YOUNG

Let's dance in style, lets dance for a while
Heaven can wait we're only watching the skies
Hoping for the best but expecting the worst
Are you going to drop the bomb or not ?

Let us die young or let us live forever
We don't have the power but we never say never
Sitting in a sandpit, life is a short trip
The music's for the sad men

Can you imagine when this race is won
Turn our golden faces into the sun
Praising our leaders we're getting in tune
The music's played by the mad men

Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever and ever
Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever ? Forever young

Some are like water, some are like the heat
Some are a melody and some are the beat
Sooner or later they all will be gone
why don't they stay young

It's so hard to get old without a cause
I don't want to perish like a fading horse
Youth's like diamonds in the sun
And diamonds are forever

So many adventures couldn't happen today
So many songs we forgot to play
So many dreams swinging out of the blue
We let them come true

Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever and ever
Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever and ever

Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever ?


7. IN THE MOOD

He's in the mood to touch the fire
He's in the mood to touch everything you are

Jacky's locked in a silent dream
He's watching movies on the tv screen
He feels unsteady, lights a cigarette
He's getting mellow in his cabinet

Oh, Jacky, when everything goes wrong
Get ready, for you've got to be, you've got to be so strong
It's so supersensual, sentimental
Forget about your deepest fears
Switch back to the golden years

You've got to touch the fire, wake up little boy
You've got to play the fire

Jacky's spying, is it her or not
His eyes are burning cause the brain's too hot
He sitting calmly on his swivel chair
There's something coming from the upper stairs

Now listen to me, Jacky
You were always so lonesome in that quiet lonely house
High on a hill
Now come... come and meet me
You know where
And we take a nice and easy holiday
Back in the old, old days of happiness

Oh Jacky....
Switch back to the golden years


8. SOUNDS LIKE A MELODY

It's a trick of my mind
Two faces bathing in the screenlight
She's so soft and warm in my arms
I tune it into the scene
My hands are resting on her shoulders
And we'll dancing away for a while
Oh, we're moving, we're falling, we step into the fire
By the hour of the wolf in a midnight dream
There's no reason to hurry, just start that brand new story
Set it alight, we're head over heels in love
Head over heels

The ringing of your laughter it sounds like a melody
To once forbidden places we'll go for a while

It's the definite show
Our shadows resting in the moonlight
It's so clear and bright in your eyes
It's the touch of your sighs
My lips are resting on your shoulder
When we're moving so soft and slow
We need the extasy, the jealousy, the comedy of love
Like the cary grants and kellys once before
Give me more tragedy, more harmony and fantasy, my *dear* (not love)
And set it alight, just starting that satellite
Set it alight


9. LIES

Baby
What do i do
Playing my tune for you
Just to get you in the mood

Everybody's going to Hollywood
You're driving me mad
But I'm smiling to the crowd instead
A lot of money is at stake, this is a hit and that's a fake

This is what you mean to me
This is what they all should see
Make a make up in a foolish style
Telling the truth by making a big lie

When i come, i come but nothing's at ease
Breaking up the whole is a modern disease
Maybe you think tomorrow's just a joke
It's a joke after joke after joke after joke

(Chorus)

My love
Everything's an interview
And nothing's really new
And everybody's looking for clues and you know what to do With a clue
My love
Get ready for the show
They're waiting and they will never go
This night is just a go
And it's only for show

Dig that deal and be a millionaire
Drinking cocktails in the stratosphere
Getting jetlagged with my business friends
In these supersonic wonderlands
There's a flicker on the graphic display,
First he's smiling then he's fading away
Maybe he thinks tomorrow's just a joke
It's a joke after joke after joke after joke

(Chorus x2)

Get Ready


10. THE JET SET

This is the time , now gimme that beat
Feel how the rhythm grips your feet
Ah kitty-baby , take my hand
She's like a devil heaven-sent
I'm in her armes and she's in mine
Maybe we'll make the film on time
Sitting in the 15th row
Oh baby baby , i love you so

We are the jet-set society , we are the jet-set
And that means liberty

We're on the run,
We know where to go
We've got the tickets to the midnight show
These nights are burning out so fast
Hop on the beam , you won't be last
The russians seem to be that way
We love 'em like we love D.kaye
We are the high-high-high-high-high
So-ci-e-ty

We are the jet-set society , we are the jet-set
And that means liberty

We are the jet-set / hop on the beam
We are the jet-set / hop on the beam

Shine on sociaty - shine on liberty
Shine on luxury - shine on so-ci-e-ty

Streets are full of love and fear
This could be the final year
Enrico's dead but still ok
We dance the streets , feeling well
If she's a liar , i'm her lover
If she's a priestess , i'm her cover
If she's a lady , i'm her man
If she's a man , i'll do what i can

We are the jet-set society , we are the jet-set
And that means liberty

Oooh , i do what i can
Oooh , baby , i love you so and we don't care
