"Song For No One (But Myself)"

Your will against my vision
Your world against my worlds
Your war ain't my decision
Your port against my pearls

Your sense against my madness

In the beginning
There was no light
No teenage heaven or hell
No songs or voices came

From across the out lands
Where oceans were meant to be, where oceans were meant to be
Oh my god, I feel so alone

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

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

Acrobats & Comets are floating by so fast
Children's faces S.M.I.L.E. like suns at last
Lilac butterflies are cruising without fear
All inviting you to stay and rest here

You can halt your car for an afternoon in Utopia
We shall stop the wars on those afternoons in Utopia

All In The Golden Afternoon
All in the golden afternoon full leisurely we glide
For both our oars, with little skill, by little arms are plied
While little hands make vain pretence our wanderings to guide
Our wanderings to guide

Ah, cruel three! In such an hour, beneath such dreamy weather
To beg a tale of breath too weak to stir the tiniest feather

I'm going out, I don't know why
There's no need at all
A kind of turbulence outside
And I can't resist the call
I hear a siren, I might be late,
Fire flickers on a barricade
A piece of smack melts in my brain
As I watch the police deploy

Welcome
Or should I say good bye?
It's a question how close we are apart
Are you goin' back home
after this show
Or leaving for the wild
And when you're passing the wardrobe
What will you take?

Show me a place that ain't hell, if there's space, give me room to breathe
That's all that I need for this body can't fail
And if music be the food of love, play on, give me excess of it
Let it all out, please let me out of here

And I shall rise from the ashes
Grow like a rose from the ruins
There must be light in the darkness

Driving down the streets, listening to the radio
What do I get: ariana
Reading the papers and the news they scream
Haven't you heard: ariana
She rules the business, she's sucha restless genuine juvenile
Everyone knows, wherever she goes
She got chique, she got class, she got style

Эта группа "Alphaville" была популярна когда мы учились в классе 7-8
Я был удивлен, слушая эту песню, какая неожиданная философия в ней содержится:

Into this world we're thrown
Нас бросили в эту вселенную

A lifeform without a home
Форму жизни без дома

There's a tremor in the city but it looks all quiet
There is something awful brewing but there ain't riots
Beethoven
You can read between the lines that there must be more
You're alarmed but you don't know what you're waiting for
Beethoven

Beethoven, the boots are back in town

Sometimes, I feel you in my blood, you're perfectly designed
I want to count the stars within your mind, your body is the likeness of the universe
You, you lead me to the point, the point of no return to scenes where dreams come true
And I don't care for fateful consequences concerning me or you

I love to watch the secrets in the green sea of your eyes
I'll never understand them but they brighten up my life

Big in Japan

(Gold/Mertens/Lloyd)

Winter's cityside
Crystal bits of snowflakes
All around my head and in the wind
I had no illusions

Song written in muenster 1983

According to a note on the very first script the text origins from 1978, berlin. must have been a quite interesting time. unfortunately I just can't remember it.
Marian gold, 1998

Frьhmorgens halbgetrдumte nacht fliegt wie ein echo durch den kopf
Du schaust den spiegel unverwandt an, der mit fingern dich befьhlt
Dein photo aneinanderreiht

Call me down when no one's around
I'm spinning down to the ground
Don't say no, there's nowhere else to go
I need to be there tonight
Sunlight, shadow, night on day, no beginning anyway
Are you my twin? Or opposite? There is no clear solution
Darkness, light, black & white, some are wrong and some are right
To know me better merely takes higher resolution

we must have played
for more than ten years
we must have thought
that we're immortal
shame, shame on us,
ah little hussy,
what did you think i was

We can change the world...

The difference is in the way we are as people
The difference is the sum of what we are
So look at the things that join us together
And take away the things that pull us apart
Ooh, we can change the world...

I sleep between the gates of night, in a no man's land
Always closer than you think, a kind of your best friend
I have no religion and I have no flag
I don't care if you're wrong or right
Lilac skinned or black

I'm a cosmopolitician
Closer than your next of kin

Criminal Girl
--------------------------
Don't lift me up
Just to push me down
Don't call me up
When you don't come around
You're such a criminal girl
Let me ignore your criminal world

When the heat of light melts into the speeding time

When the king returns from the ivory city side.
Let the magnet-images wave the signals
flashing oh so fast

Then you'll meet me there under the moonshine.
In a lover's heaven

People buzzing around, they don't know a thing
They just a laugh and the ones in power are always pulling the strings
People do what they do, how much can they take
They just get the news and the ones in power always get the cake

But you got ambition, you got the face, come on, let's go to a dangerous place
You got the class, I think you're desperate, let's go to a dangerous place
Come on - let's go, come on - let's go, come on...

when you feel so far away though you're close to everything
and the feeling of estrangement's creeping up on spider's legs
even in these days of wonder, even in the age of faith
there are some who goin' under
there are some who never got it made
so you passed so many years in a labyrinth of traces
running round and round they led to no one but yourself
here comes the eternal stranger

The cards are layed out on the table
And the ace is pinned at the wall
No debate it's far too late to draw the Joker
As I walk outside of the room, a door shuts silently
And I know it will never be opened again
Someone threw away the key
And now the stage is calling
Welcome back to the lights

He is sitting on a hill
A vapid night is crawling through the vale
The trees are fangs of transiency
The demons forge hammers and nails

He will travel all the ways
That lead to the unknown lands
Time has distorted his view

Moving to the far horizons where the great big waters fall
And the last of the clowns gonna tell the tale what will happen to us all
All you people got to go on this carnival of doom
And I guess you know things got out of hand
And if not you will know soon

Let’s go to the end of the world and keep your eyes wide open
To see what’s up on the other side and rave across the skies

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 he'd left me
In that red light zone

Hello today
Open your eyes
The snow is falling just like leaves
Aquarian warriors rebuild the ship
Mr rainbow is gone

Hello my love
Here's to your heart

I've been searching
I've been searching for so long
Now I'm chasing the shadows away
I've been trying
Yes I tried to find my way
No more crying in the make or break decade
There were times when I was down
There were times I felt so low

Oh, I love to dance
Under an alien sun
Along the dunes with you, I kiss you in the sand
We give so that we live
Beside the sleepy snakes
They dream of you and me when will they ever end

For a million years they dream

Lets dance in style, lets dance for a while
Heaven can wait were 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 dont have the power but we never say never
Sitting in a sandpit, life is a short trip

Though this place is so crowded
You feel so alone 'cause you're eye to eye with him
And you know he will take you
He's got nothing to lose and there's no way for you to win
Desperados in love won't kill this sweet dove
For nuggets of fleeting bliss
C'mon, c'mon you can't escape
The bleeding bullet of a kiss

We must have played
For more than ten years
We must have thought
That we're immortal
Shame, shame on us,
Ah little hussy,
What did you think I was
I look at us

Be my guard just for tonight, that is all I'm asking for
Take me under your wing, I can't make it anymore
I am so full of fear, may you read a book to me
And when the shadows grow won't you stay with me

Will you be my guard tonight, that is all I'm asking for
Will you be my guard tonight, that is all I need to know

We call ourselves the crown of creation
I wonder what does it mean
We're not the owners of the moon and the earth
It's like a roundabout
And it goes round and round for free
We've made some gruesome inventions
Yet we're mastered by those systems
We're endangered danger, we're running out of fashion

Now at the station, the train to another land
Lands of never seen light
Light hidden in infinite night
Night in it's biggest might, might of the strongest power
And there the smoke of the train
To the heart of the flower
I take the first train to the heart of the flower
I take the first train to the heart of the flower

I feel so lonely when I'm not with you
It's such a shame that I'm spending my time
Without you
Yet I have found you're from a different world
It must be Venus cause love's such a prime time
With you, girl
Don't you understand
We ride on a space-ship out of control,

Once
I awoke
A shadow of your smile had crossed
my mind
How could I know this ws your
last Good-Bye
That's slipping through the Windmills
of the night

Come in close to me and bring me joy
Lift me higher, much higher and higher than light allows
I wanted to be everything, everything for you
I wanted you, I needed you, I thought that you did too

You built me beauty and took it all away
And I can't face another day...
I'll die for you today...

Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must have been something you said
I just died in your arms tonight

I keep looking for something I can't get
Broken hearts lie all around me

And I don't see an easy way to get out

If you need a holiday somewhere in the sun
Let me show you something that is really fun
Take a sparkling holiday somewhere in bubblegum

You can lie down in the shadow of electric silver trees
You can play ferry sinking victim looking water-ski
And if you want excitement ask the poet kids
They all look like charly manson a bit

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

Jacky's locked in a silent dream
He's watching movies on the TV-screen
He feels unsteady lights a cigarette

Long view into the dark
Moving your finger
You gonna make it for sure into the dark
Master of duel, rendezvoyeur
This is a walk into the dark
Playing the ball
Roll it on but not too fast
There she goes into the light

Here is the news from my little hideaway
My sweet Ivory Tower
I've sent you songs about so many thing
Mighty moondogs skipping waves
Dolphins playing their lives away
Golden circus girls and pharaohs
Fallen angels, streetside Romeos
Patricia's park and Anyway

Jerusalem (оригинал Alphaville)

Waiting on this empty street,
Watching the rivers waves go by
Feeling mellow, lighting a cigarette,
Silver moon floats through the night
Eris, Princess of the Isles
Disperse your sparkling traces

Standing on the empty bridge
Watching rivers waves go by
Feeling mellow, lighting a cigarette
Silver moon floats through the night
Eris, princess of the isles, disperse your
Sparkling trace
Lead me on to the house of love
Where the gods may turn his eyes

Lonely boy gazing on the afternoon
People drifting cross the surface of the twilight day
There's a Little Yellow Man, standing by the railway station
Painting portraits on the brickwalls of Billie Holloway
Lovely Lady S.M.I.L.E.
Dance, my dear, I'm only operating on "Lassie Come Home"
"This was authentic you" she spoke, "this was authentic
you who blew me cold"

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,

Life's a garden
Life is king
Life is all
And everything

Life is golden
Life is fair
Like a rainbow in your hair

If I was a flag I'd have no nation
Just the colours and the wind
And if I was a church I'd have no treasure
Except the prayers and the hyms
And if I was a seagull I'd just rise up
And carry my soul across the sea
Drifting beyond the horizon
Lost by the ground to be free

Oh my sweet little darling
how fair you look tonight
The world is drifting gently
through starry winterlight
And all the love I have
is here for you to show
It shall be your companion
where ever you may go...

Once I was so sure, once I was so blind
Wonder what you said if you read my mind
Angel in a car, devil on a cross
Scarecrows in the fields, Jesus on the rocks
Letters in the rain, rabbit on the run
God was made for you, lizards for the sun
Monkey in the moon, I can see you through
Monkey in the moon, this one's made for you

sometimes it seems the night will last forever
sometimes it seems that darkness always falls
a dark star woke you up and with a dark star, you go to bed
you're sinking slowly into the deep
you wonder if you ever touch the ground
where you would walk through sparkling spheres,
on strangest drugs and without fears
you feel just like a little girl

Когда-то мы были вместе,
Когда-то мы были одним целым,
Когда-то мы бежали и знали, что откуда мы...
Мы были музыкой, мы слышали зов,
Мы были павшими гигантами...
Когда-то мы были детьми, когда-то мы были так малы...

Я обращаю свой взгляд к новым горизонтам...

Estant assis de nuict secret estude,
Seul reposй sur la selle d'aerain:
Flambe exigue sortant de sollitude,
Fait prospйrer qui n'est а croire vain.

La verge en main mise au milieu de branches,
De l'onde il moulle & le limbe & le pied:
Un peur & voix fremissent par les manches:

So you hugged the globe
Now it's whirling too fast
I really got no hope to hang on to the past
The train has departed, the toxins have started
To announce that none will last
I cower in the gutter of a world that's not so near
And I listen to their mutters that are spinning through the air
The words unspoken, the promises broken

Hello my friend!
It's late and I want to sleep
But I just can't make it to my bed
I've got a brand-new song on my screen
It's called Miracle Healing
I read it on a sign somewhere in Port of Spain

(29. 4. 2000)

Little girl, do you know what you are, do you know
This baby's gonna be a star, do you know
A teenangel empress from hollywood highs
With wonderful eyes

Your beautiful, put on your stratoblue suit
I know that your in the mood to fly
We got the power to make it come true

Here's a boy
With a little black dog
There's a boy
With a little black dog
And he looks
At his watch
For a while
And the falling years

Little Darling
On the factory floor
Sirens are wailing
They are calling you like lovers
They always want more

Department 27

Listen to the news, changes are coming soon:
Atlantic engineers and cities in the moon
You better look across the ocean, now tell me what you see:
The southern cross explodes into the colours of the sea

Mighty Maomoondog skips across the waves
Kick the door and hit the shore and be somebody else
Supersonic landscapes are melting in your hair

She's like a frostfern in my head
The lamplight burns my eyes and then she fades away
My pencil's frozen in my hand
And the letter I can't write, it seems to be a desert without end
I woke up late at night
She called me up then disappeared
And the echo of her voice filled the empty places in my dreams
With the silent tide

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 how we calling?
Hello - hello
Is somebody there?

There is too much confusion
Much too much impact of obscene terror
I wonder why I'm still surfing
On this wave of obsession

Is there a reason to stay any longer
Waiting for some cool messiah
Give me a reason to stay here forever

smiling faces when you're no.1, it's on, can you relate
the people that you meet are the people that you love to hate walk this way, talk this way, suckers on my tip-no i don't need no bodyguards, i don't need no ridiculous jewelry vibing the industry, it's people- acting funny with my money, it's everything will be taken care of, honey- the fuzzing and the buzzing- the dealing and the wheeling, shady bitches in big, black limousines digging my stuff with a gangsterly..huhu, cashflow's extreme yes, i'm getting paid, hey, here's what the people say, this fool's glocking crazy geeze the bitch is selling out- he's given up integrity-..huh

digging the inner so you don't get under, no, my name ain't alexander the great but came and i saw and i conquered and now i'm in the house
and now the house is haunted cause i can talk this shit
i'm in the game, even when they're kicking it, a hustler
hitting the big time with mental stamina, with karma spread from the south of france. to l.a.- to indochina, and i don't quit, i'm coming on with another hit and playing it rough- with an attitude way out there, yeah no playing it safe in here, -fool, you don't wanna be rude, - go ahead ---you don't wanna be rude, -go ahead call me a prostitute
i was born, growing up, i finished my cup, said good luck, dad- with a back up from the giddy up-- began as a problem youth, running wild with the deuce, the juice

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
When we're dancing away for a while
Oh we're moving, we're falling,
We step into the fire

It's a trick of my mind
To faces bathing in the screenlight
She's so soft and warm in my arms
I tune it into the scene
My hand are resting on her shoulders
When we're 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

HATE, LUST, SOUL, RAGE
You're so full of hate, You're so full of lust
You're so full of soul, You're so full of rage
SPIRIT OF THE AGE
Here comes the voodoo king, here comes a powerful man
My face on every frontpage, my plans for everyone
I reason your existence, that is what I want to be
Your whore and your messiah if you believe in me

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

World without a breeze
Heartbeat of the heat above the harbour
Lazy day lies dazed upon the shelf
Atomic lizards lick at the blaze of a light that is forever
No move in the solid skies
No gleaming metal out of the breathtaking blue
My golden circus girls all sailed away
The lion tamers are no longer due to play

Deep in myself I hear you like a distant sound
Emitted from a secret distant star
Made out of yearning and of sweet desire
Which I would never tire of listening to like gentle ocean surf

Deep in myself you’re buried like a hidden treasure
Within a chest filled up with withered comforts
On which I’m keeping ceaselessly my jelous eyes

sometimes it seems so strange
the way i feel for you
it makes my life so quiet and free
and when you smile at me
it's just that special love
a kind of liberty i never felt before
and i don't need to be a poet
i don't need to be a hero

This is the time
Now gimme that beat

Feel how the rhythm grips your feet.
Kitty-Baby
Take my hand
She's like a devil heaven sent.
I'm in her arms and she's in mine

All I want is you, don’t you know that,
Forever loving you,
Don’t you know that it’s true.
I’m leaving you tonight
But don’t listen if they say that
We’ll never meet again
In the Land Of Make Believe.
We cannot lose the race

all i want is you, don't you know that
forever loving you, don't you know that it's true
i'm leaving you tonight but don't listen if they say
that we'll never meet again in the land of make believe
we cannot lose the race, breaking the secret spells
they put on us, my love
we're far out of their reach, a million years ahead
they never understand the mysteries of love

With all the grace that you possess you're telling me your lies
A kiss, a touch, a gentle stroke, a look into my eyes
Your promises and fairy tales have allturned into dust
Your star was high, your kingdom grew in vain now fades at last
That is the one thing I know
Stop talking, stop talking witht hat voice
Stop! I can't stand it when I look into your eyes
Stop talking, who do you think you are?

Let's dance, stop to fight
We do the paradigm shift tonight
Yeah, it's a natural drift alright
And it's coming up out of the blur
Out of your mind from deep below
The hidden harmonies discover
Chaos-- which means order
Its evolution is a spiritual way

Now she's touched the earth -- you feel her love
Pouring down like an endless rain of colours on your skin
She descends out of the blue, a breathless victor of time
After more than a million lightyears preparing her comeback
And she's rushing in from the outside
On the crest of the seventh wave
She's the crown of creation creating you

There is a landscape in my head
I sometimes travel
But this is strictly after dark
Beyond the barricades and trenches
There stands the factory
Hand me the costum of the sad acrobat
And he says:
Son, this is the bread I break for you

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

Central park looks like a graveyard
It never rained like that before
I took the ferry to new jersey
Never coming back no more
In my hand I hold a ticket
Statue points up to the clouds
Now I'm leaving new york city
I can hear the seagulls cries

If you want a new connection
I'll be just a step away
Come on move in my direction
Leave your doll's house at the breaking of the day
Get this message from your heartbeat
There's an ally you can trust
You've been searching for adventure
Follow me, lets take the golden path.

20.000 Lieues Sous Les Mers lyrics
(Gold-Lloyd-Echolette)

Down in the garage,
Drifting in her embrace
He's on an island
Of serenity
Outside the gateway

Hey Mrs. Fields, why do you look so sad?
Is the whole world gone mad? Or is it still a
strawberry cake
How I wish to kiss your sweet sweet lips,
To share your blissfulness
It made me fell like floating on a cloud
I’m talking to you soon,
There’s so much left to say

It`s the start of the season
The dawning is near
The Age of Fish comes
Announcing the news of the year
The tiger returns to the jungle
The wolf comes home to his yard
When you say it feels good to be back
Then it`s just one step further on

Theyґre singing songs like us
Why donґt we communicate
Their lifestyle is floating
Remember, theyґre like us
Theyґre coming from afar
Remember, theyґre astral
What is wrong with their orientation
Where is the error? ?

Into the night
Still falls the rain
even the dogs stay home tonight
out on the streets
going nowhere
just one direction in my thoughts
love can be magic
it can be a game
