  • Und noch ein Favorit von mir
    Jennifer Rush: Hero of a Fool


    Sometimes a word
    Is all it takes and I'm back at the start
    I've crossed that line before
    And knew there was no return
    Feelings seemed to stay on my mind
    Visions of days gone by


    Or just the sound
    Is all it takes for the memory of you
    I wait there lying low
    Silence has taken a toll
    Eventhough these feelings are strong
    I know now you're never torn


    I see it now, I finally see what came undone
    It took some time for me to realise
    That in the end all I should have done was run
    I'm seeing you the hero of a fool


    And when the thought
    tries to hold me back from making the turn
    The closer that you get
    I'll see what I've come to learn
    That over and over again
    I'm caught up in make believe


    I see it now, I finally see what came undone
    It took some time for me to realise
    That in the end all I should have done was run
    I'm seeing you the hero of a fool


    I see it now, I finally see what came undone
    It took some time for me to realise
    That in the end all I should have done was run
    I'm seeing you the hero of a fool


    Oh Ohh,
    I'm seeing you the hero of a fool

    Harpo - Moviestar



    You feel like Steve McQueen
    When you?re driving in your car
    And you think you look like James Bond
    When you?re smoking your cigar
    It?s so bizarre
    You think you are a new kind of James Dean
    But the only thing I?ve ever seen of you
    Was a commercial spot on the screen


    Moviestar, oh Moviestar, ah ah ah,you think you are a Movie
    Moviestar, oh Moviestar, ah ah ah,you think you are a Movie-
    Star ah ah ah


    You should belong to the jet set
    Fly your own private learjet
    But you worked in a grocery store
    Every day until you could afford to get away
    So you went to sweden to meet ingrid bergman
    But he wasn?t there or he just didn?t care
    I think it?s time for you my friend
    To stop pretending that you are a moviestar


    Moviestar, oh Moviestar, ah ah ah, you think you are a Movie
    Moviestar, oh Moviestar, ah ah ah, you think you are a Movie-
    Star ah ah ah


    Frozen hero
    Your words are zero
    Your dreams have vanished into dark long ago
    But you?re the one to know


    Moviestar, oh Moviestar, ah ah ah, you think you are a Movie
    Moviestar, oh Moviestar, ah ah ah,you think you are a Movie
    Moviestar, oh Moviestar, ah ah ah,you think you are a Movie-
    Star ah ah ah

  • Ich finde den Text von `Life For Rent` (Dido)sehr schön!
    (den kennt bestimmt eh jeder :smile: )


    Life for rent
    I haven``t ever really found a place that I call home
    I never stick around quite long enough to make it
    I apologise that once again I`m not in love
    but it`s not as if I mind that your heart ain`t exactly breaking
    it`s just a thought, only a thought


    Refrain:
    but if my life is for rent and I don`t learn to buy
    well I deserve nothing more than I get
    cos nothing I have is truly mine


    I`ve always thought that I would love to live by the sea
    to travel the world alone and live more simply
    I have no idea what`s happened to that dream
    cos there`s really nothing left here to stop me
    it`s just a thought, only a thought


    Refrain


    while my heart is a shield and I won`t let it down
    while I`m so afraid to fail so I won`t even try
    well how can I say I`m alive


    Refrain

  • aktueller denn je:


    Der blaue Planet - Karat


    Tanzt unsere Welt mit sich selbst schon im Fieber ?
    Liegt unser Glück nur im Spiel der Neutronen ?
    Wird dieser Kuß und das Wort, das ich dir gestern gab,
    schon das Letzte sein ?
    Wird nur noch Staub und Gestein, ausgebrannt allezeit,
    auf der Erde sein ?



    Uns hilft kein Gott, unsre Welt zu erhalten.
    Fliegt morgen früh um halb drei nur ein Fluch und ein Schrei
    durch die Finsternis ?
    Muß dieser Kuß und das Wort, das ich dir gestern gab,
    schon das Letzte sein ?
    Soll unser Kind, das die Welt noch nicht kennt,
    allezeit ungeboren sein ?
    Uns hilft kein Gott, unsre Welt zu erhalten !

  • Hier hab ich auch noch einen wunderschönene Text von Nelly Furtado! Morgen stelle ich dazu die deutsche Übersetzung rein!


    All Good Things
    Dogs where whistling a new tune
    Barking at the new moon
    Hoping it would come soon so that they could die


    Honestly what will become of me
    I don`t like reality
    It`s way too clear to me
    But really life is daily
    We are what we don`t see


    Flames to dust
    Lovers to friends
    Why do all good things come to an end


    Travelling I always stop an exits
    wondering If I`ll stay
    Young and stress less
    I want to pull away when the dream dies
    The pain sets it and I don`t cry
    I only feel gravity and I wonder why


    And the sun was wondering if it should stay away for a day until the feeling went away
    And the clouds were dropping and the.............the rain forgot to bring salvation.
    The dogs were whistling a new tune barking at the new moon hoping it would come soon so that they could die

  • Ich hab mal wieder einen Text gefunden, der sich von vielen seichten Popsongs abhebt. Fish ist der Ex-Sänger von Marillion:
    fish gentleman's excuse me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NO0fhr7nQtc










    A Gentleman's Excuse Me




    Do you still keep paper flowers
    In the bottom-drawer with your belgian lace
    Taking them out every year
    To watch the colours fade away
    Do you still believe in fairy tales
    In battlements of shining castles
    Safe from the dragons
    That lie beneath the hill
    Are you still a Russian princess
    Rescued by a gipsy-dancer
    To anyone who'll listen
    Is that a story you still tell
    You live a life of fantasy
    Your diary romantic fiction
    Can't you see it's hard for me
    Can you see what I'm trying to say
    It's a gentleman's excuse me
    So I'll take one step to the side
    Can you get it inside your head
    I'm tired of dancing
    For every one step forward
    I'm taking two steps back
    Can you get it inside your head
    I'm tired of dancing


    I know you still like old-fashioned waltzes
    Your reflection in the mirror that you flirt with
    As you glide across the floor
    But if I told you, the music's over
    Would you want to hear
    That your dance card, is empty
    That there's no-one really there
    Do you still believe in Santa Claus
    There's a millionaire looking for your front door
    With the key to a life
    That you'd never understand
    And all I have to offer
    Is the love I have, it's freely given
    You'll see it's value
    When you see what I'm trying to say
    It's a gentleman's excuse me
    So I'll take one step to the side
    Can you get it inside your head
    I'm tired of dancing
    For every one step forward
    I'm taking two steps back
    Can you get it inside your head
    That for this one step forward
    There's no turning back
    Can you get in inside your head
    I'm tired of dancing
    We're Finished Dancing

  • Pale Imitation - Mark Knopfler - Album: Down The Road Wherever


    Once I went back and I stayed on the street
    Where I used to live
    Got up in the morning
    Put on my boots and I crossed the road
    Stood in front of our house
    And went back to my tricycle times


    At the end of the terrace I looked up the alley
    And there he was
    A little blonde boy
    With a stick in his hands looking straight at me
    And if he wasn’t me
    Then my god, he was just like I used to be


    We stared at each other
    But he stared me down and I looked away
    After a moment
    When I turned again he was gone


    I don’t think I ever became half the man
    That I used to be
    The warrior captain
    The bold pirate king of the sea
    Nobody does me like I do
    Or that’s what they say to me
    But I’m a pale imitation
    I’ve been keeping my secret safe with me

  • Nobody’s Child - Mark Knopfler - Album: Down The Road Wherever


    The ragged kid nobody wanted
    Left alone to ramble wild
    Long ago he was abandoned
    Nobody’s child


    Never smiles and never chatters
    Never quarrels or complains
    Grown as hard as the Sierras
    And the Western Plains
    Come a’cow cow yicky yicky yea
    A’come a’cow cow yicky yicky yea


    Learned to swing a broken bottle
    Learned to use his fists and knife
    In the bar rooms and bordellos
    Of his life


    He drifted down towards the borders
    The sky was dark but it did not rain
    Came the meanest pistoleros
    In the Western Plains


    He fell in with these desperadoes
    Thieves and killers every one
    Prizes hanging from their saddles
    With their guns
    Come a’cow cow yicky yicky yea
    A’come a’cow cow yicky yicky yea


    The ragged kid nobody wanted
    Left alone to ramble wild
    Now he rides beside the Devil
    Nobody’s child
    Come a’cow cow yicky yicky yea
    A’come a’cow cow yicky yicky yea


    Oder...


    Basil - Mark Knopfler - Album: Tracker


    My Saturday job pays six and six down
    A copy boy at the Chronicle
    Five cigarettes and two silver half crowns
    Meeting Vince at Mark Toney’s in town
    Boy, do we get around


    Basil sits there on the table for subs
    But not a part of the Bri-nylon club
    Ancient blue sweater, too old for the job
    Bored out of his mind
    With the Colins and Bobs


    I’m a jack and a lad
    And I’m up for the world
    And I’ve kissed a Gateshead girl


    He calls for a copy boy, grumpy as hell
    Poets have to eat as well
    What he wouldn’t give just to walk out today
    To have time to think about time
    And young love thrown away


    I’m a jack and a lad
    And I’m up for the world
    And I’ve kissed a Gateshead girl


    Starlings swarming
    A cloud over Grainger Street
    Over the black church
    Over the Black Gate
    And the shadowy Keep


    He peers through his wire rims
    At the fish and chip words
    He’s supposed to dish up and forget
    His drudgery now has become slightly blurred
    By one of his Players untipped cigarettes


    Bury all joy
    Put the poems in sacks
    And bury me here with the hacks


    In the summer the fair
    Will stretch over the Moor
    Lovers will lie and make out in the park
    Basil puts on his old duffel and scarf
    And goes out into the dark


    Oder...


    Haul Away - Mark Knopfler - Album: Privateering


    It was a windless night when you left the ship
    You never were a steady bold one
    I gave my hand, ah, but you did slip
    I’m a living man and you’re a cold one
    Haul away, haul away for home


    My love’s as fair as a girl can be
    My wedding ring is a heavy gold one
    Now you lie alone in the deep dark sea
    I’m a living man and you’re a cold one
    Haul away, haul away for home


    The morning brings, Lord, a fresh young breeze
    To fill our sails and end the doldrums
    Our lucky ship speeds across the sea
    I’m a living man and you’re a cold one
    Haul away, haul away for home

  • Ich möchte hier mal den Text von Home aus dem Musical Kristina bringen. Das schwedische Original mit Untertiteln findet sich ja in einem anderen Thread, und es mag schon sein dass das Original noch intensiver ist, aber zum Verständnis schadet es wohl nicht, den englischen Text zu posten…


    Ein Meisterwerk von Björn, wie so vieles… :thumbup:



    Home


    Johan
    Mama, I wanna go home. Aren't we home soon?

    Kristina
    One day when we were on the ocean
    Another ship came sailing by
    The Swedish colours fluttered from her stern
    The people on her deck
    I could see their faces
    We sailed in opposite directions
    They waved and I felt so alone
    How strange when I was leaving all behind me
    There were others like me going home

    Kristina's children
    Oh, Mama, Mama, where is home?

    Kristina
    All that I know
    Is that there was a place called "home"
    Not long ago

    A place where all is peace and quiet
    When we have gone to bed at night
    I want to make a home for all of us
    Away from crushing crowds
    This we owe our children

    (to Johan)
    They say that once we've crossed the grassland
    Where bears and prairie creatures roam
    The land is rich, we'll find a place to live
    That you will learn to love and call your home

    Children
    Oh, Mama, Mama - where is home?

    Kristina
    What can I say?

    Kristina & children
    Somewhere where people dance and sing
    Midsummer Day

    Kristina
    Ours is a road that leads away
    Never returning

    Children
    Mama, oh, Mama, where is home?

    Kristina (to Johan)
    I thought I knew
    Now we must look for
    answers to your question
    For I long for home as much as you

  • Zum 40-jährigen Jubiläum einer meiner Lieblingstexte:


    Supertramp - The Logical Song


    When I was young
    It seemed that life was so wonderful
    A miracle
    Oh, it was beautiful, magical


    And all the birds in the trees
    Well, they'd be singing so happily
    Oh, joyfully
    Oh, playfully watching me


    But then they sent me away
    To teach me how to be sensible
    Logical
    Oh, responsible, practical


    And then they showed me a world
    Where I could be so dependable
    Oh, clinical
    Oh, intellectual, cynical


    There are times when all the world's asleep
    The questions run too deep
    For such a simple man
    Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned?
    I know it sounds absurd
    Please tell me who I am


    I say, now watch what you say
    Or they'll be calling you a radical
    A liberal
    Oh, fanatical, criminal


    Oh, won't you sign up your name?
    We'd like to feel you're acceptable
    Respectable
    Oh, presentable, a vegetable
    Whoa
    Take it, take it, take it, yeah


    But at night when all the world's asleep
    The questions run so deep
    For such a simple man
    Won't you please
    Please tell me what we've learned?
    I know it sounds absurd
    But please tell me who I am
    Who I am
    Who I am
    Who I am, yeah


    Woo!
    Hey!
    'Cause I'm feeling so logical
    Hey!
    D-d-d-d-d-d-d-digital
    Yeah, one, two, three, five
    Ooh, uh, uh, uh, yeah
    Ooh, it's getting unbelievable
    Yeah
    Ooh

  • Ein Lieblingstext.......was ist das genau ?.


    Ein schöner, träumerischer Text ??......Oder eher ein aufrüttelnder Text ???......


    Liegt sicher im Auge des Betrachters.....


    Der vielleicht aufrüttelndste, anklagendste, politischste und gesellschaftskritischste Text, der jemals von enem ABBA-Mitglied performt wurde, ist da für mich kein ABBA-Lied......kein von Björn geschriebener Text......


    Nein......es ist jener Text von Karl-Gerhard Lundkvist und Agnetha, der von Agnetha thematisch vorgegeben wurde und den Karl-Gerhard Lundkvist dann in Reinform gebracht hat, bevor Agnetha dann diesen Text gesanglich interpretiert hat und der schon damals die Welt hätte noch nachdenklicher machen sollen.......


    Es ist jener Text einer Anklage an die Menschheit für Millionen gestorbener Kinder im BIAFRA der späten 60er-Jahre, indem man etwa 1,4 Millionen kleiner Kinder elend verhungern liess.......und die ganze Welt zugesehen hat......


    Heute wurde ich wieder dran erinnert, da sich ein neu erstelltes Video im Netz befindet..........


    Hier nochmals die deutsche Übersetzung.......


    Kleines Kind der Sonne, ein Schatten ist über Dich gefallen
    Kleines Kind der Sonne, die Erwachsenen haben Dich nicht gefragt
    Gefragt nach Deiner Meinung, was hier geschieht
    Kleines Kind der Sonne, unsere Welt hält nichts für Dich bereit


    Kleines Kind der Sonne, bildest Burgen aus Sand und Stein
    Kleines Kind der Sonne, dein Tag geht nun zu Ende
    Der Sand ist nun zertreten, dein Lachen wird nicht mehr länger gehört
    Kleines Kind der Sonne, was hier geschieht ist so furchtbar falsch


    Hoch im Himmel scheint die Sonne so klar
    Vielleicht existiert noch eine Hoffnung
    doch noch überall Liebe zu verstreuen
    Vielleicht werden wir es eines Tages lernen zu verstehen


    Kleines Kind der Sonne, es ist ein trauriger Blick, der mir folgt
    Kleines Kind der Sonne, wer wird nach Dir schauen
    Diese Welt ist hart und kalt, eine Freude gibt es nicht mehr
    Kleines Kind der Sonne, es ist so falsch, was hier geschieht
    Es ist so falsch, was hier geschieht

  • Ich hab mir gerade nochmal den Text von Sound of silence angehört . Für mich einer der ganz großen Songs..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZYpzXjdtwg


    Hier in der Version von Simon und Garfunkel. Es gibt ja mittlerweile ganz viele Cover von diesem Song in unterschiedlichen Qualitäten, aber mich freut, dass dieses Lied es auch in die nächste Generation geschafft hat.
