BLACK SILK STOCKING

Sensitive her feeling, when she's Waking in the morning,
Black silk stocking Black silk stocking
Put your hand inside it, and she'll tell you where to find it,
Black silk stocking Black silk stocking
And when she is not talking, be sure she wants some rockin'
Black silk stocking Black silk stocking
If you're not into rockin' you're best to keep on walking
Black silk stocking Black silk stocking
You think she's going to leave you, but she only wants to see you
In her, black silk stocking Black silk stocking
Lutting instigation, her spell is captivating,
Black silk stocking Black silk stocking
Provoking whip, lash lash, please stop smoking
Black silk stocking Black silk stocking
Oh baby, baby no-ones loving, your degeneration
Black silk stocking Black silk stocking
Oh baby, no-ones loving, your degeneration
Black silk stocking Black silk stocking
 
 

LOLA

She lives alone
Lola,
But every night she goes down,
To the Chinese where
She works very hard there,
Sipping her cocktails.
Expenses paid
Lola
She is performing
For a cause,
Her glances faking,
A  deep fascination,
She wants information
She goes upstairs
Lola
Clinging on to
Another man,
She lays him down, down
Almond eyes on fire,
Seducing his mind
Behind the smoke and
Screenz-a,
Lola is a
Private eye,
She well disguises
Her lingering actions,
No-one suspecting
At the Chinese
Lola
Killed all those
Who did her wrong,
Her soul is blazing
With blood thirsty craving,
No-one, objecting...
 
 

C-ROCK

Let's rocking
Go back rocking [etc.]

WANDERLUST

Got the wanderlust
You go te the airport
And see a plane take off,
Go to England or
Take a trip by sea
And get off, where you want to get off,
Write to the boy
Next door, who always wants
To do, what you're just about to do
Tell him that
You like New York City
I'm sure he'll like it too
- You say you like your nation
- So let's take a long vacation
Tell your navigator
To wait downstairs
With his white gloves on,
Tell him to zip up your bag
With his white gloves on
Take your diamond,
So if you've got the money left,
You can always sell it
Here I come,
Get ready
Get set fire go, go, go, go, go
- You say you like your nation -
- So let's take a long vacation
My transfer agent
Sends me where I
Where I want to go
That's a fact
He thinks I'm great
'Cos I treat him like dirt,
Like dirt,
He does me favours
But I could do with
Even better ones,
They call him sticky
'Cos I treat him like dirt,
Like dirt, like dirt
- You say you like your nation
- So let's take a long vacation
Your transit airman
Is heating up the engine
Clear your head,
Go out and get it
Instead of watching T.V.,
And stagnating in your bed,
By the window
Thinking of the next record
That you're going to buy,
You like Maurice
With his safety pin
So it's gonna be a Punk one
- You say you like your nation
- So let's take a long vacation
Got the wanderlust
It's time to go
And do, what you've decided to do
Go to Milan
Or if not just you take a bike
To see a sight
I feel free
You feel free
And how about the boy next door,
Tell him that
You like New York
I'm sure he'll like it too
- You say you like your nation
- So let's take a long vacation
 
 

LYCEE

I was looking through
Through the, the window pane
Tears of rain ran down,
And blurred a sight so bad,
Revolution now,
Somehow, I feel afraid
I, I heard her cry
Out loud, echoes insane,
She fell to the ground,
Her hand reached out in vain
Young, Lycee was young,
But now, oh there she lay,
Who will call her name,
Victim of blood red flame,
She, a living sun
Will not come back again
I, I saw her face
Through the, the window pane,
I, still hear her cry
I feel, I want to die,
I, I saw her face
Through the, the window pane,
I, still hear her cry I feel I want to die
 
 

MANDOYA

I've gotta in Mandoya
An easy hackin in the haia
Smoking laia
I see the hakin of the Maia
In Mandoya
I feel the iaia to mahoia
Through my Lala
I see the hackin of Ma'haia
In Mandoya
An easy hackin in the haia
Smoking laia
I see the hakin of the Maia
In Mandoya
I feel the iaia to mahoia
Through my Lala
I see the hackin of Ma'haia
So schön you can komm...
So schön you can komm...
So schön you can komm...

HIBERNATION (Polydor 1979)

Calling / Aurora B. / Rush '79 / Hibernated Nazi / Gott Gott Electron / We R. / So You Don't / Lover / Vetraplaz

(Vangelis - Chrisma)
 

CALLING

Calling, calling, calling
No communication it's appaling
When someone is falling
Got to get the message over calling
Ever felt like drifting?
Blank videos are shifting
Calling, calling, calling
What's the matter, trying hard, resisting
Calling, calling, confusion
Feel a tremor just like agitation
Trust me went out sailing
Metal kids looks like I'm failing
Calling, calling, calling
No communication, it's appaling
Fading, fading, fading
Don't tell me I'm deviating
Seizing, seizing, seizing
Can't find a number to read clearly
Thought I'd have a better chance
Face to face now I've got to save my life
Turning, turning, turning white
Push and pull you know I am so very light
Turning, turning, turning white
Face to face now I've got to save my life
Face to face now I've got to save my life...
 
 

AURORA B.

Go to dusky dinver I always
Go to some shady night settee
Meet a friend he loves me eveningly
So forlorn when he goes away...
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Dimness where we sit together
Ultraviolet music
Filling us nocturnal creatures
Flickering warmth inside me...
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Glossy plastic-cushioned walls
He loves the way I'm called Aurora B.
No he won't let me leave early
The night is young and so are we...
Oh, oh, oh, oh
My lips so hot I do get thirsty
I'd like to drink some cold red wine
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I feel his fingers on my bare back
Yes my name's Aurora B.
I know they call him Jimmy Afterglow
Sending scintillas down my spine...
Scintillas, Oh, Oh
Scintillas, Oh, Oh
Scintillas, Oh, Oh...
 
 

RUSH '79

Touching up and touching down
See our feet are off the ground
We speed out and we speed round
Then we land outside your town
We dress up as all you do
Then we find the joke's on you
Mix our speech to say your words
You cannot be scared of us...
Rushing up and rushing out
Our expression leaves you in doubt
Worried looks on your machines
See us in your magazines
Turning up and turning down
Elevating off the ground
On your mirror on your wall
We can be there with you all
We also know that you transmit
On T.V. they show our ship
Unidentified object...
You 've found out a little bit...
Rushing up and rushing out
Our expression leaves you in doubt
Worried looks on your machines
See us only in your dreams...
Taking off and taking down
Flitting through without a sound
Never lost and never found
Tailing off above the crowd
Unidentified object...
Unidentified object...
Unidentified object...
 

HIBERNATED NAZI

Look at him everybody
Do you think he's real
With a normal face
Just made up of skin
And a nerve center with a heart beating
It's a lie...
Go near him you can touch him
So synthetic
He's been manufactured
By surgical control
Still got a few bandages on his head
It's a lie...
It moves but
Artificial ankles moving slow
Watch him find a direction to go
Up left or back to square one
What fun...
Been in cold storage
Half a century
Operated tested
And put on show
Even rarer to see someone that you know
It's a lie...
Move a little closer
You can hear him say
Residue of substances
In my chemical brain
Black's a color, white is neg.,
I'm a photograph
It's a lie...
It moves but
Artificial ankles moving slow
Watch him find a direction to go
Up left or back to square one
What fun...
He's deep breathing
His arms are stiff stumble start fall
It could be a fit
What't he game get him back, to the fridge again
It's a lie...
Then he looks at you
With his eyes slitting
Sterilise your needle
Cause you're in for it
Slow but sure close the door, remote control suicide
It moves but artificial ankles moving slow
Watch him find a direction to go
Up left or back to square one, what fun
Back to square one
What fun
 
 

GOTT GOTT ELECTRON

Electron, electron
Dot, dot, electron
Oh, my light
I'm waiting for you to surrender
Got stores of energy to send you...
Electron, electron
Dot, dot, electron
Oh, my light
Is gathering information
Eternal memorising station
Electron, electron
Dot, dot, electron
Oh, my light
Passing through identification
To find a logical explanation...
Electron, electron
Dot, dot, electron
Oh, my light
Our travelling space extended
Dot dot vanishing can never...
Electron, electron,
Dot, dot electron
Oh, my light
The only source of stimulation
Undying you have no limitations
Electron, electron
Dot, dot, electron
Oh, my light
Be meteoric verification
It's the lastingness of the equation...
Electron, Electron,
Dot, dot, electron
Oh, my light

WE R.

We R. found
Don't you know that
We R. near
We can hear
We just thrash it out by ear
We R. found
Shut your traps
We R. sound
You R. Bound
With sado, sado, ropes on you
We use our tongue
Only when we R. hung
We swing by swinging
And wait until the knots untying
We X. Cite
You should see us in the night
She looks so chaste
Putting on the leather mask
We C. far and we use the iron-bar
When it's dark
Take a railing from the park
We I. Ate
When we R. Tiggy-tagging off,
We N. Joy
Anything can be a toy
We X. Alt
Giving someone else a jolt
L. Bow loving
Really wasn't all my fault
We R.
Found
We R.
So upside down
If you R.
Willing
You can hook us to the ceiling
Tiggy-Tiggy-tag Tiggy-Tiggy-tag Tiggy-Tiggy-tag
 
 

SO YOU DON'T

So don't you like my face
So don't you like my face
No more space
It's a screwed-up race
Squeeze us out
There's no doubt
Pull on your belt and then get felt
So don't you like my face
So don't you like my face
It's a ____ed up chase
You lose the place
Fuzzed out rats
Have eaten their hats
They talked to fast backing out at last
So don't you like my face
So don't you like my face
Punching facts
Listen to the cracks
Go on stage
Keeping up the pace
Of noisy games
We love fame, love fame
We love fame
We love fame
So don't you like my face
So don't you like my face?
 
 

LOVER

I know how it's gonna be
On the bed spread you and me, I choose why
So many tricks that's what you're waiting for now
Oh my lover
Oh my lover, lover
Touch me fast and make me cry
Didn't get buzzed from other guys, I know why
Looked for a new one, you had a very hard try
Oh my lover
Oh my lover, lover
You know how to anticipate
Know when you're ready, never keep your feelings up your sleeve
Start in the morning, what you were wanting confess
Oh my lover
Oh my lover, lover
I like when you're watching me
See me in your, turn me when you're making me sigh
Take it out on others, give it to me when you're inside
Oh my lover
Oh my lover, lover
Come into my puzzle room
Do everything I'm telling you, how many times
It's so easy, count them with your eyes closed love
Oh my lover
Oh my lover, lover
 
 

VETRAPLAZ

Let's all go to Vetraplaz
Early in the morning to pay the tax
Stand in a long queue waiting for the number
Is it worth it
That's another wonder
See the kids sat upon the grass
Outside the building in Vetraplaz
Travelling thoughts about the situation
Not even caring
About no education
Vetra, vetra, Vetraplaz
It's so busy there after dark
Exchanging money for new paradise
See the latest film
And don't analyze it.
Let's all go to Vetraplaz
Early in the morning to pay the tax
Stand in a long queue waiting for the number
Is it worth it,
That's another wonder
Vetra, vetra, Vetraplaz
Vetra, vetra, Vetraplaz
Hours of waiting can it be my turn now
Wish I had a lot of money
To burn it
Vetra, vetra, Vetraplaz
Vetra, vetra, Vetraplaz
