As I Lay Dying - Behind me lies another fallen soldier:

I want to bring You all that is in my heart
I want to give You my everything
But I've failed You so many times
How can I stand here before You
When I begin to steal what only belongs to You
I am able to bring You nothing that isn't already Yours
I am so ashamed of what I ever called my own
Take what I have, take these broken remains
What can I give You that You don't already deserve
You laid down Your life when I refused to give mine

As I Lay Dying - Forever:

Forever your eyes will hold the memory
I saw your heart as it overtook me
We tried so hard to understand and reason
but in that one moment I gave my heart away

I gave my heart away
In that moment I gave my heart away
In that moment I gave my heart away

With that perfect breath where my mind lay beside me
and all I knew is what had overtaken me
With no reason I am comforted by inability to understand

Forever your eyes will hold the memory
I saw your heart as it overtook me
We tried so hard to understand and reason
but in that one moment I gave my heart away

I gave my heart away
In that moment I gave my heart away
In that moment I gave my heart away

Forever your eyes will hold the memory
Forever your eyes will hold the memory
Forever your eyes will hold the memory

When I wake from this dream
Will your smile still open my heart
and leave me transparent?

Johnny Cash - Man in Black

Well, you wonder why I always dress in black,
Why you never see bright colors on my back,
And why does my appearance seem to have a somber tone.
Well, there's a reason for the things that I have on.

I wear the black for the poor and the beaten down,
Livin' in the hopeless, hungry side of town,
I wear it for the prisoner who has long paid for his crime,
But is there because he's a victim of the times.

I wear the black for those who never read,
Or listened to the words that Jesus said,
About the road to happiness through love and charity,
Why, you'd think He's talking straight to you and me.

Well, we're doin' mighty fine, I do suppose,
In our streak of lightnin' cars and fancy clothes,
But just so we're reminded of the ones who are held back,
Up front there ought 'a be a Man In Black.

I wear it for the sick and lonely old,
For the reckless ones whose bad trip left them cold,
I wear the black in mournin' for the lives that could have been,
Each week we lose a hundred fine young men.

And, I wear it for the thousands who have died,
Believen' that the Lord was on their side,
I wear it for another hundred thousand who have died,
Believen' that we all were on their side.

Well, there's things that never will be right I know,
And things need changin' everywhere you go,
But 'til we start to make a move to make a few things right,
You'll never see me wear a suit of white.

Ah, I'd love to wear a rainbow every day,
And tell the world that everything's OK,
But I'll try to carry off a little darkness on my back,
'Till things are brighter, I'm the Man In Black.

This girl I know needs some shelter
She don’t believe anyone can help her
She’s doing so much harm, doing so much damage
But you don’t want to get involved
You tell her she can manage
And you can’t change the way she feels
But you could put your arms around her
I know you want to live yourself
But could you forgive yourself
If you left her just the way
You found her

I stand in front of you
I’ll take the force of the blow
Protection

You’re a boy and I’m a girl
But you know you can lean on me
And I don’t have no fear
I’ll take on any man here
Who says that’s not the way it should be

I stand in front of you
Take the force of the blow
Protection

She’s a girl and you’re a boy
Sometimes you look so small, you look so small
You got a baby of your own
When your baby’s grown, she’ll be the one
To catch you when you fall

Stand in front of you
Take the force of the blow
Protection

You’re a girl and I’m a boy (x4)

Sometimes you look so small, need some shelter
Just runnin round and round, helter skelter
And I’ve leaned on you for years
Now you can lean on me
An that’s more than love, that’s the way
It should be
Now I can’t change the way you think
But I can put my arms around you
That’s just part of the deal
That’s the way I feel
I put my arms around you

I stand in front of you
Take the force of the blow
Protection

You’re a boy and I’m a girl (x4)

My Insanity - Dead Seasons

Fog is passing through these dunes
Little seagull trembles on the breakwater
Behind us trees are barren
I admire Mother Nature in her beauty
Only the sea is living
But very shallow - it's the dead season

Come into my arms tonight
I will keep you warm
My little princess
My baby I'll hold you tight

Is nothing there to let us know
In which time we are?
Nothing that's turning around us
A gentle breeze blows a melody
On the withered grass which paralyzes
A sight only for the pair on the beach
Nevertheless - it's the dead season

My promise - you will never lose me
I will never leave you
And slowly your inner sun goes down
I can't shed your light upon

*in bettdecke einkuschel und zuhör*

Put on my blue suede shoes
And I boarded the plane
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain
W.C. Handy -- won't you look down over me
Yeah I got a first class ticket
But I'm as blue as a boy can be

Then I'm walking in Memphis
Walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel

Saw the ghost of Elvis
On Union Avenue
Followed him up to the gates of Graceland
Then I watched him walk right through
Now security they did not see him
They just hovered 'round his tomb
But there's a pretty little thing
Waiting for the King
Down in the Jungle Room

(Chorus)

They've got catfish on the table
They've got gospel in the air
And Reverend Green be glad to see you
When you haven't got a prayer
But boy you've got a prayer in Memphis

Now Muriel plays piano
Every Friday at the Hollywood
And they brought me down to see her
And they asked me if I would --
Do a little number
And I sang with all my might
And she said --
"Tell me are you a Christian child?"
And I said "Ma'am I am tonight"

(Chorus)

Put on my blue suede shoes
And I boarded the plane
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain

Ein Lied, was mich wirklich bewegt und sogar dazu bringen würde exzessiv öffentlich dazu zu headbangen wäre:

Pete Murray // So beautiful

Found myself just the other day
In the backyard of a friends place
Thinking about you
Thinking of the crowd you're in,
What you're up to, where you've been,
Just thinking...

You know the clothes that you wear, and the colour in your hair,
Shouldn't change you,
Now you tell me why is it so,
You're bigger than Mighty Joe
At least you think so

Got my fingers burned,
Now when I think of touching you it hurts
You have changed so much that I don't know,
If I can call you, and tell you I care
And I would love to bring you down,
Plant your feet back on the ground

Threw my smoke down on the ground
Turned my head and I heard the sound, that reminded me
Of the days so young and sweet,
Always so much fun to me
At least I thought so

Now you think you're so damn fine,
You could rule the world,
No not mine,
I don't think so

Got my fingers burned,
Now when I think of touching you it hurts,
You have changed so much, that I don't know,
If I can call you and tell you I care

You know the scene that you're in,
And the people that you've been with,
Just get to me
But you think I'm not as cool
As you are so beautiful,
Who you foolin?
Well I'm here to tell you babe,
The game you're in, is just a game
So damn pretentious

Got my fingers burned,
Now when I think of touching you it hurts,
You have changed so much that I don't know,
If I can call you, and tell you I care
And I would love to bring you down,
Plant your feet back on the ground

You think you're so beautiful....So beautiful

Blue jean baby, L.A. lady, seamstress for the band
Pretty eyed, pirate smile, you'll marry a music man
Ballerina, you must have seen her dancing in the sand
And now she's in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand

Jesus freaks out in the street
Handing tickets out for God
Turning back she just laughs
The boulevard is not that bad

Piano man he makes his stand
In the auditorium
Looking on she sings the songs
The words she knows, the tune she hums

But oh how it feels so real
Lying here with no one near
Only you and you can't hear me
When I say softly, slowly

Hold me closer tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
you had a busy day today

Blue jean baby, L.A. lady, seamstress for the band
Pretty eyed, pirate smile, you'll marry a music man
Ballerina, you must have seen her dancing in the sand
And now she's in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand

Mia - Hoffnung/Mit diesem Trick

Schlimmer als heute kann es einfach nicht mehr werden
ich lieg auf dem Rücken, hab mich verirrt und möchte sterben
wo kommen all, wo kommen all die Gedanken her?
ich hab keine Kraft, ich hab keine Lösung
und ich hab keine Lust mehr
(wo kommt die Erlösung her)
"ich will das einmal alles anhält"
für einen Augenblick

Dann mach ich das Fenster auf und dreh das Radio laut

Ich sing ein Lied dem ich mich anvertrau´
und ein Glück mit diesem Trick
glaub ich fast wieder an alles
ich brauch ein Kompliment von einer andern frau
und ein Glück mit diesem Trick
glaub ich fast wieder an alles

ich steh neben mir seh mich an und hör mich klagen
hab heut kein Appetit und trotzdem schlägts mir auf den Magen
ich muss raus - raus auf die Straße und frag mich wohin
ich seh keinen Sinn ich seh kein Ufer und ich krieg keine Luft mehr
-wo kommt die Erlösung her?

dann zieh ich die Tür auf und bin mittendrin

Geh unter leute
bevor es mich bezwingt
und ein glück mit diesem trick
glaub ich fast wieder an alles
versuchs mit reden obwohl sonst nichts gelingt
und ein glück mit diesem Trick
glaub ich wieder an alles

HoffnungHoffnungHoffnungHoffnungHoffnungHoffnungHoffnung

Ich les das Horoskop ich glaub heut jeden Scheiß
und ein Glück mit diesem Trick
Glaub ich ich wieder an alles
ich red mir selbst gut zu, obwohl ich´s besser weiß
und ein glück mir diesem Trick
glaub ich wieder an alles

We were walking
Just the other day
It was so hot outside
You could fry an egg.
Remember you were talking
I watched as sweat ran down your face
Reached up and I caught it at your chin
Licked my fingertips

We were just wasting time
Let the hours roll by
Doing nothing for the fun
A little taste of the good life
Whether right or wrong
Makes us want to stay, stay, stay, stay, stay here for awhile.

Then later on the sun began to fade
Then the clouds rolled over our heads
And it began to rain
Oh, we were dancing mouths open
Splashing tongue taste
For a moment this good time would never end
You and me
You and me
Just wasting time
I was kissing you,
You were kissing me love
From good day into the moonlight
Now a night so fine
Makes us wanna stay, stay, stay, stay, stay for awhile.

Makes you wanna... (two times)
Makes me wanna... (two times)
Don't it make you wanna?

Wasting time
I shall miss this thing
When it all rolls by
What a day...
Wanna stay, stay, stay, stay, stay here for awhile.

Hey love
Oh just groping you
Rolling in the mud
Stay a while
Come on love
Wanna stay, stay, stay, stay, stay for awhile

Makes me wanna, makes me wanna stay...(ten times)

Make you wanna stay...don't it?(eleven times)



und noch eins von Dave Matthews....



Cyrus Jones 1810 to 1913
Made his great grandchildren believe
You can live to 103
And a hundred and three is forever when you’re just a little kid
So, Cyrus Jones lived forever

Gravedigger
When you dig my grave
Could you make it shallow
So that I can feel the rain
Gravedigger

Muriel Stonewall 1903 to 1954
She lost both of her babies in the second great war
Now, you should never have to watch your only children lowered in the ground
I mean - you should never have to bury your own babies

Gravedigger
When you dig my grave
Could you make it shallow
So that I can feel the rain
Gravedigger

Ring around the rosey
Pocket full of posey
Ashes to ashes
{Musical intro}
We all fall down

Gravedigger
When you dig my grave
Could you make it shallow
So that I can feel the rain
Gravedigger

Little Mikey Carson '67 to '75
He rode his bike like the devil until the day he died
When he grows up he wants to be Mr. Vertigo on the flying trapeze
Oh, 1940 to 1992--

Gravedigger
When you dig my grave
could you make it shallow
So that I can feel the rain
Grave digger
When you dig my grave
Could you make it shallow
So that I can feel the rain
I can feel the rain
I can feel the rain
Gravedigger
When you dig my grave
Could you make it shallow
So that I can feel the rain
Gravedigger
Grave digger

So... jetz iche

The White Stripes - Truth Doesn't Make A Noise
zu finden auf ihrem Album De Stijl

My baby's got a heart of stone
can't you people just leave her alone
she never did nothing to hurt you
so just leave her alone

The motion of her tiny hands
and the quiver of her bones below
are the signs of a girl alone
and tell you everything
you need to know

I can't explain it
I feel it often
everytime I see her face
but the way you treat her
fills me with rage and I
want to tear apart the place

You try to tell her what to do
and all she does is stare at you
her stare is louder than your voice
because truth doesn't make a noise



UND ein herrliches Lied von
Schandmaul
Dein Anblick
Album: Narrenkönig

Hätte ich einen Pinsel zu zeichnen Dein Antlitz,
den Glanz Deiner Augen, den lieblichen Mund.
Ich malte die Wimper, die Braue, Dein Lächeln,
wie ich es erkannte in jener Stund´.

Hätte ich eine Flöte zu spielen die Klänge,
die von Deiner Anmut und Schönheit erzählen.
Ich spielte den Reigen der himmlischen Tänze, wie in den Gedanken, die mich seither quälen.

Doch weder Bilder, noch Klänge, noch Wort,
könnten beschreiben, was an jenem Ort,
mit mit geschehen, als ich Dich gesehen,
Du in jener Nacht, den Schein hast entfacht.

Chorus:
Die Sonne, die Sterne tragen Kunde von Dir,
jeder Lufthauch erzählt mir von Dir,
jeder Atemzug, jeder Schritt,
trägt Deinen Namen weit mit sich mit...

Hätte ich eine Feder zu schreiben-die Worte,
die dich umgarnen wie silbernes Licht.
Ich schriebe von Liebe, von Nähe und Hoffnung,
und schrieb die Sehnsucht hinaus in das Nichts.

Doch weder Bilder, noch Klänge, noch Wort,
könnten beschreiben, was an jenem Ort,
mit mir geschehen, als ich Dich gesehen,
Du in jener Nacht, den Schein hast entfacht.

Chorus:
Die Sonne, die Sterne tragen Kunde von Dir,
jeder Lufthauch erzählt mir von Dir,
jeder Atemzug, jeder Schritt,
trägt Deinen Namen weit mit sich mit

ich könnte da jedesmal anfangen loszuheulen

Die Toten Hosen - Nur zu Besuch

Immer wenn ich dich besuch, fühl ich mich grenzenlos.
Alles andere ist von hier aus so weit weg.

Ich mag die Ruhe hier zwischen all den Bäumen,
als ob es den Frieden auf Erden wirklich gibt.

Es ist ein schöner Weg, der unauffällig zu dir führt.
Ja, ich habe ihn gern, weil er so hell und freundlich wirkt.

Ich habe Blumen mit, weiß nicht, ob du sie magst.
Damals hättest du dich wahrscheinlich sehr gefreut.

Wenn sie dir nicht gefallen, stör dich nicht weiter dran.
Sie werden ganz bestimmt bald wieder weggeräumt.

Wie es mir geht, die Frage stellst du jedes Mal.
Ich bin okay, will nicht, dass du dir Sorgen machst.

Und so red ich mit dir wie immer,
so als ob es wie früher wär,
so als hätten wir jede Menge Zeit.

Ich spür dich ganz nah hier bei mir,
kann deine Stimme im Wind hören
und wenn es regnet, weiß ich, dass du manchmal weinst,
bis die Sonne scheint; bis sie wieder scheint.

Ich soll dich grüßen von den andern:
sie denken alle noch ganz oft an dich.

Und dein Garten, es geht ihm wirklich gut,
obwohl man merkt, dass du ihm doch sehr fehlst.

Und es kommt immer noch Post, ganz fett adressiert an dich,
obwohl doch jeder weiß, dass du weggezogen bist.

Und so red ich mit dir wie immer
und ich verspreche dir,
wir haben irgendwann wieder jede Menge Zeit.

Dann werden wir uns wiedersehen,
du kannst dich ja kümmern, wenn du willst,
dass die Sonne an diesem Tag auch auf mein Grab scheint -
dass die Sonne scheint, dass sie wieder scheint.
