Est' u nas v rajone Moldavanki
Ulica obychnaya druz'ya
Staren'kie dvorniki, podmetayut dvoriki
Chtob siyala ulica moya.
Ulica, ulica, ulica rodnaya
Myasoedovskaya ulica moya
Ulica ulica, ulica rodnaya
Myasoedovskaya, milaya moya.
Zdes' zhivut poradochnye lyudi.
Nikto zdes' ne voruet i ne p'et kompot.
Esli vy ne verite,ymozhete proverit',
Ulicu rodnuyu ya sbereg
Est' na etoj ulice bol'nica
Vse ee Evrejskoyu zovut
Ya zhelau vam druz'ya
Ne byvat tam nikogda
Pust' vashi vragi tuda idut

Ist bei uns im Bezirk Moldavanki
Die Straße die gewöhnlichen Freunde
?????????? die Hausmeister fegten die Höfe aus
???? glänzte die Straße meine
Die Straße die Straße die heimatliche Straße
Meine Straße Mjesaedowkaja
Hier leben ?????????? die Leute
Niemand stiehlt hier und trinkt das Kompott, nicht
Wenn Sie nicht glauben können Sie prüfen
Also, wird welcher Dummkopf auf die Straße gehen
Es waren die Jahre hier schlenderte der Felsen ????
Unter die Gitarre des Liedes sang seine
Und wenn er den Jazz jenes geschaffen hat hat erfüllt
In das erste Mal ??????? über die Straße meine
Haben mir angeboten, die Wohnung umzutauschen
Mit der wundervollen Art auf Moskwa
Ich bin auf den Austausch einverstanden aber ich bitte, den Moment zu berücksichtigen
Nur zusammen mit der Straße von meiner
Den Bären hier ???????? allen wußten
Obwohl auf ???????????? nicht lebte
Die Vergangenheit ist zusammen mit der alten Welt seit langem weggegangen aber
Und er ging nach dieser Straße
Time Out
The start is already a compromise
what they demand and what you give it looks like sacrifice
you're supposed to be predictable
what they are looking for is everything but you
Somebody's skill is still required
but everyone is competing all the time
it's like a world full of robots waiting to be fed with a dime
You wanted so much more
but dreams become a luxury to be shared with good friends only
you believe that this is all, how can you live so full of doubt
time is too short to be wasted it is time for time out
what life's about is your time out
The more you are adjusted the sooner you'll get promoted
the more you just give up yourself
friendliness without limits
treat any asshole better than your friends
Now looking up that ladder, who can survive up there
only those who have skipped all their belief
you hate their way to argue their philosophy
until you hear yourself spaeking their tongue
Move into another place you'll soon realize
how many friends you really had before
too many meetings like nostalgia
till there are none of these meetings even more
Now running with that mask anyone can see
even me when I look into the mirror
I've forgotten who I love
I've forgotten who I hate
I've completely forgotten who I am
M+T: Peer-Axel Nov.1996. You really have to give up dreams
when you start earning or climb up that ladder. Or you're very lucky. Or very dumb.
Dependence
Why did you say these things you've said to me
Why did you say 'em in the way you did
Why did you tell me all those stories
Why did you tell 'em in the way you did
You know you never ever mean what you say
Why can't you be straight
And if you wanna say something
Why can't you just say it
Why did you tell me 'bout all your sick dreams
I believe in you anyway
Why did you say you wanted to finish your life
That's rubbish, come on pull yourself together now
You know you've got the power to fight
I'm not your teacher or psychologist
You know I'm just a friend
And if you wanna say something
Why can't you just say it
I'm giving it up I'm giving it up
you soak me out you soak me out
I'm telling you things I never really intended to tell
I don't like this kind of soul stripping
where is your dignity where is my pride
You know you've got the power to fight
You know you've got the power to fight
M+T: Peer-Axel 1996.
We Shall Not Be Moved
We shall not be moved ...
Just like a tree standing by the waterside
oh we shall not be moved
The House Martins inspired us to this.
Solo Tracks
Please Go
Thinking of you
Who's always telling lies to me
To whom you're supposed to spend your love to spend your life with
Turn away
I don't wanna see your face anymore
Unless you stop pretending everything's all right
Please go
Or I'm going to smash your face
Please go
I don't wanna argue anymore
Please go
Just do me a favour do me a favour
Do me a favour do me a favour
Leave me now
Leave me now
Please leave me now
Cos I never want to see you again in my life
Forget it 'cos I hate you asshole
So just leave me alone
Looking in your eyes I can already read your mind
I can already hear the story
You just made up to lie to me
Mister Carpenter is looking through these eyes
Oh god someday I'm going to smash this mirror into pieces
Please go
Or I'm going to smash your face
Please go
I don't wanna argue anymore
Please go
Just do me a favour do me a favour
Do me a favour do me a favour
Leave me now
Leave me now
Please leave me now

The Girls That Walk Along The Street
The sun on the blue sky
Is shining is shining on my feet
Beautiful
So beautiful and nice
Are the girls that walk along the street
See them laughing
And talking
In a language
Strange is what I hear
I give them a smile
And they smile back at me
And their talking is music to my ears
I give them another smile
And they smile back at me
And their talking sounds like music to my ears
I give them one more smile
And they smile back at me
Dab dah dah dab dah dah dah dah dah dah
M+T: Peer-Axel Okt. 1999. Written in our rehearsal week (which was more like relaxing) in
a summer house in Klegod, Denmark.
It was raining all the time and we became wet more than once.
The sun was only shining for one day but that's enough top change one's thoughts.
Wondering About A Friend
I've been sitting in my room
And thinking about ...
Maybe it was you
The clock on the wall said 21-48
I said to myself that this is too late
I was wondering about a friend
Was it more than a friend in the end?
You know this could also happen to you
Whatever you think whatever you do
You know folks say it's never too late until you try
So I was sitting there
Wondering why I was wondering about a friend
Was it more than a friend in the end?
M+T: Peer-Axel 1994.
Unable To Speak
An unknown tension is flooding my body
I'm quiet not moving unable to face
That you don't know 'bout me at all
Slow pace when am I going to fall
Upset and tired just wanna cry out
Return in my bed hide my head
Ignore that I see you tonight
We just might start to find a way now wouldn't it be great
I know I'm just dreaming but I don't know my fate
Till I'm beginning to hate this whole tension and this weired day
Till I'm unable to speak when I meet you
A well known tension is flooding my body
I'm quiet not moving
Now watching your face
Can't ignore that you're here tonight
And I wonder if the time is right
M+T: Peer-Axel Dec 1997.
Your Friends
It's been a pleasure meeting all your friends
They look so lively now and I guess they wouldn't mind to dance
Dance to the rhythms of terrible bands
Maybe they ignore me maybe they come up
And ask me what I'm doing here have a little chat
And keep on talking till the world becomes flat
M+T: Peer-Axel Dec 1997.
Old Times
It was around Christmas
We went to town like all the other years
Playing pool billard checking out bar after bar
Till we stopped in a club that I'd been to many times before
The crowd was young I only knew the man at the bar
And so we talked about things that came up to our minds
But most of the time we were talking 'bout old times
The was a girl edge of the dancefloor looking around
Searching for something she appeared a bit lost and found
And another beauty she was hangin' around at the bar
She looked really tough with the tattoo on her arm
And so we talked about things that came up to our minds
But most of the time we were talking 'bout old times
M+T: Peer-Axel Dec 1997.
Thin Ice
Feels like walkin' on thin ice
Feels like walkin' on thin ice
Another step and you hope not to crush into the cold water
Still you're dry and comfortable but you know the ice could melt or break
Feels like walkin' on thin ice
Feels like walkin' on thin ice
A series of bad coincidences could make you fall
But it's too late you already made the mistake and you hope nobody's gonna find out
But everything depends on this little minor situation
And so cold sweat is running down your shoulder because you feel the surface getting thinner and thinner
But you just keep right on walking
Start to tumble
And you hold on
M+T: Peer-Axel Dec 1997.
6 am
The coffee tastes a bit like water
Candles are burnt down to the ground
Empty bottles are all across the tables
While the last song of the B-side fades away
There's a couple that's been dancing for hours
And when they kiss it seems to be so right
Dawn reaches the windows of this cold room
And when the birds start to sing you're awake
Someone starts a new record
The last guests are about to leave
Good friends are sleeping in the backroom
Soon it will be summer again
In this room it still smells like beer and wine
It's full of smoke and when you shut the door
The yard is full of cars you're too familliar with
6 am the end of a good day
M+T: Peer-Axel Oct 1999. The 2nd song written in this rehearsal week in Klegod. Remembering
so many good parties in the last 10 years.
Light Of The Moon
There's rain pouring down on me
Striding thrugh the fields of desperation
Gladly woven to the memories of your smile
Of the dusty pictures we painted together
Which I'll never understand I'll never understand
Oh I will never understand
Any of these pictures
With artificial colours bleeding painlessly
Not being able to cry out what they feel
You try to impress me
Knowin' it would work out
Knowing I would try to copy your feelings
Which I did
I felt happiness sparkling
And now that you're gone I got what you meant
Saying time is Horst
Dreaming mean and dirty dreams of your silken soul
Wrapped in leather to pretend some protection
From the light of the moon
From the light of the moon
M+T: Okko+Vry. Used to be a Strawberry Alarmclock song which had never been recorded before.
3 Hours To Go
These miles are too much a distance
my love's so far away
it might be easier if I justed stayed in one place
but now I'm sitting here
that's experienced inconvenience, it's difficult to take
you know this room appears kind of lonely now but now it's getting late
and it's 3 hours to go 3 hours to go
moving very slow 3 hours to go
We moved in here when the work was done and the place became much quieter
and talked about our music and dreams now seeing things very much brighter
drained ourf concience and agreed in what it's best to believe
determined never stop to play till the sun is going up again
and it's 3 hours to go 3 hours to go
moving pretty slow 3 hours to go
M+T: Peer-Axel Nov 1998. Written in a hotel in Lübeck.
