Wolfsheim - No Happy View (1992)

I lie beside you
It's a love to celebrate
Coming nearer… stay away
You'll need my fist to understand
The wall between us makes me blind
Makes me blind

I want to keep your…
Your image in my brain
Tears stay nice to dry by me
You know I like it if you cry
It's hard to hide my secrets from you
Hard to hide

It's you I want to keep
That's why I love you
It's you I want to keep
That's why I love you
That's why I love you

Je vous adore, mon ami
Souvereign de torture
Souvereign de vice
Ta main qui ne cherche que mon bonheur

Les cicatrices sur ma peau
M'en souvient que tu m'aimes…
Que m'aimes-tu!

Jamais je ne démasquerai notre mystère
Je le garderai pour toujours
N'ai pas peur… je crirai

I want you shy
I want you hurl curing
Under darkest bedroom skies
Control our want… it's pain I give
Guess beeing souls are floating in my ear
In my ear

I chose your fear
I chose your ability
Oh, I need your rear company
Your velvet scratched under me
What shall I do with your tenderness, my dear?

It's you I want to keep
That's why I love you
It's you I want to keep
That's why I love you
It's you I want to keep
That's why I love you

It's you… I want to keep
It's you… that's why I love you
What shall I do with your tenderness, my dear?

You're walking through the night
Still can't near in light
And I'm following behind

You're playing games of sin
None that fools can win
And I'm following behind

Following you…
Following you…
Following you…

Do lovers understand your ply?
You command and they'll obey
And I'm watching from behind

One step forward, two steps back
I'm still following your track
And I'm watching from behind

Following you…
Following you…
Following you…

Waiting here beside you
Waiting for your call
Watching liars passing by
Uh, I hate them all
Don't you realize
That I'm the only one
Who's good for you?

You're so heartlessly sincere
But I'm still following you endlessly
I'm following behind

You ain't whore, you ain't nun
On the hunt and on the run
And I'm watching from behind

Always cheating, telling lies
Behind your door I heard you sigh:
"Oh prudence, come and rescue me!"

"Prudence come and rescue me!"
Following you…
"Prudence come and rescue me!"
Following you…
"Prudence come and rescue me!"
Following you…
"Prudence come and rescue me!"
Following you…
"Prudence come and rescue me!"
Following you…
"Prudence come and rescue me!"
Following you…
"Prudence come and rescue me!"
Following you…
"Prudence come and rescue me!"
Following you…
"Prudence come and rescue me!"
Following you…
"Prudence come and rescue me!"
Following you…
"Prudence come and rescue me!"
Following you…

And you're sitting in your room
Enjoying entertainment
And you're watching tv
Colours bright and so enchanting

You couldn't be near her
Wouldn't hear what Annie says
When Annie's sad
You couldn't be near her
Wouldn't hear what Annie says

And your waiting for your daily thrill impatiently…
To collect it for your private horror show
And you're watching moving shadows live instead of you… and you…
You don't know that Annie's living next to you

Jesus Christ we love you so
Since we saw your tv-show
Suicidal tendencies, but no will to interfere
Feel it coming over you… indifference… indifference…
Choosing channels watching news
Ignoring Annie's point of view

You couldn't be near her
Wouldn't hear what Annie says
When Annie's sad
You couldn't be near her
Wouldn't hear what Annie says

You couldn't be near her
Wouldn't hear when annie laughs… when Annie laughs
You couldn't be hear her
Wouldn't feel that Annie… Annie… Annie loves

Talking loud, she's talking clear
But no one really wants to hear
No one really wants to know
And her loneliness still grows
Was it shame or was it fear
When his devil's face appeared?

And the wall between them grows
The wall between them grows
Tonight, velvet night

He met her on the school yard
Funny man behind the fence
Started with a real deception
He didn't try in vain
Who has failed this, who once more?
A tall man offering sweets
No one wants to think about it
And evil sows its seeds

He tries to hold her in his arms
He always tries to keep her warm
Blue-eyed girl, grown up to fast
Lost her innocence at last
Cruel revenge hurt in her heart
Breaks dependences apart
And now he's begging on his knees
Lay your guilty hands on me!

And the wall between them grows
The wall between them grows
Tonight, velvet night

I should be so lucky
But I can't help feeling blue
I felt no real attention
Unsatisfied by youth
You brought up a lonely child
Without a human shape
Made the greatest sacrifice
Realized it much too late
Too late

Clumsy, always quivering
Always searching for your thing
You don't work, but you cannot find a rest
'Cause you gave up too soon

Old man sitting in your trap
Two lovers passing by
Don't be ashamed, don't be upset,
Enjoy it, dear… 'cause once you did the same

It's not too late… to charm away your ancient fears
It's not too late… to be wild for roundabouts… to be
Wild for life…

Old man lying in your bed
Your friends are passing by
It's just a rule, kissing you goodbye,
Enjoy it, dear… 'cause once you did the same

I came across a feww old things
Remembering the past
"Spare the rod and spoil the child…
There's no fool like an old fool!"

It's not too late… to start again
It's not too late… to charm away your ancient fears
It's not too late… to be wild for roundabouts… to be
Wild for life…

How long have you been free
In this world of hate and greed
Is it black or is it white
Let's find another compromise

And our future standing still
We're dancing in the spotlight
Where is the leader who leads me
I'm still waiting
Leaving home

And God is on your side
Dividing sparrows from the nightingales
Watching all the time
Dividing water from the burning fire, inside

Leave a light on in the night for me
That I can find you
Remember when we both where young and reckless and so curious
Now you're hiding from your child
A new day's dawning
Remember that you felt alive sometimes

And God is on your side
Dividing cruelty from tenderness
Watching all the time
Dividing fiction from reality

Move in circles, walk on lines
No human being in sight
Calm the winds and calm the seas
Let's try another kind of peace
Who fights this holy civil war
A million men in uniform
Wo ist der Führer der mich führt
Ich warte immer noch
Leaving home

And God is on your side
Dividing presence from the history
Watching all the time
Dividing deaf men from the listening ones

And God is on your side
Dividing soldiers from the fishermen
Watching all the time
Dividing warships from the ferryboats

You see shocking posters shouting at you
Somewhere from a subway wall
Full of promises and glory
And the cutest headlines that you ever saw
You have to read and to believe
That all these things, that they have the worth
But, if you look a little closer
You're always aiming to unmask the dirt

Angry today…
And all alone you're on this planet Earth
Angry today…
And you're the only one who understands

You have your own life you can waste
And lovers you can cheat
That strange addiction to decay is haunting you
Haunting you, haunting you

I've… my friend from the… to the government
Here and there and anywhere
The human preach is rage
The standard could advance you
While standing alone on the other side
That's why I'm angry today

Angry today…
And all alone you're on this planet Earth
Angry today…
And you're the only one who understands

A politician signs all contracts
With a light expression on his face
While all prophets are simply singing
Lullabies for the human race
When love is with of us one day
We will have left at least
And step-mother industry's whispering softly to me

Angry today…
And all alone you're on this planet Earth
Angry today…
And you're the only one who understands
Angry today…
And all alone you're on this planet Earth
Angry today…
And you're the only one who understands
Angry today…
And all alone you're on this planet Earth
Angry today…
And you're the only one who understands
Angry today…
And all alone you're on this planet Earth
Angry today…
And you're the only one who understands

Angry…

Ich seh' dich und ich glaube
'S ist ein Ton… nie gehört!
Hör' den Schlag meines Herzens
Kiss the wall… ohne Schmerz

Sieh' diesen Mann… ganz allein
Will keine Hilfe, weil's ihn schmerzt
Zeit zu gehen, Zeit zu hungern
'S ist noch Zeit für'n letztes Wort…

Wie ein Hammerschlag an die Wand gespuckt
Wie ein Riss in mir
'S ist wie ganz weit weg
Wie ein Hammerschlag an die Wand gespuckt
Wie ein Riss in mir
'S ist wie ganz weit weg
Wie ein Hammerschlag an die Wand gespuckt
Wie ein Riss in mir
'S ist wie ganz weit weg
Wie ein Hammerschlag an die Wand gespuckt
Wie ein Riss in mir
'S ist wie ganz weit weg
Wie ein Hammerschlag an die Wand gespuckt
Wie ein Riss in mir
'S ist wie ganz weit weg
Wie ein Hammerschlag an die Wand gespuckt
Wie ein Riss in mir
'S ist wie ganz weit weg

Du gehst… du gehst… du gehst… du gehst

Walking through winter, through snow-white fields
Colder than cold… for several weeks
And the lost fire's burning miles away
And the wind whispers stories in her ears

And she's asking: "Do you hear these heavenly voices?
Do you hear the preacher who wants you to pray?"

And this night so much colder than every night
And she says, she likes winter and winter-trees
And the sun seens so far away tonight
In the dark and deep, frozen water the light
Of the moon under which she dies
O the moon under which we cry

…death knocking at the door… I must let him in…
Life like a river flows… outside… stay alive!
Ten-thousand good reasons to survive…

And she's asking: "Do you hear these heavenly voices?
Do you hear the preacher who wants you to pray?"

Walking through winter, through snow-white fields
Colder than cold… for several weeks
And the lost fire's burning miles away
And the wind whispers stories in her ears

Stay alive! My dear… I kiss your cold hands…
First time… please stay alive… I'm loving you… you're
Loving me… imagine that you were at home…
This night… please try it!
Don't leave me alone!

Look through anybody's window
See everywhere the same
People suffering from hunger
A narcotizing pain
Call it justice call it fair
I just call it a mistake
Starving mothers cry for help
In this state of decay

In this ruthless time
And they heard their favourite popsongs
To remind of times of wisdom
They heard a thousand voices say
Satisfaction fortune health
So far away

Look through anybody's window…

Looking people in their eyes
See the concrete things behind
See the false tears that they cry
Feel the sleeping guilt inside
Pray to heaven pray to hell
Pray for reason for a way
Public forces sleeping byI
No longer dream of paradise

Look through anybody's window…

You are so near to me
Fall carefully!
In love you could be the one
The one for me
It's time to change dust into ivory
It's time to kiss your lips
To ask: "Please, would you marry me?"
