Complete Break__________________________Ekkehard Tenschert 1994

this is the feeling of a new salvation
the invitation to my world
I take it away

Nothing______________Ekkehard Tenschert 1994

I cannot see nothing as far as can be
I cannot see nothing at all
what is the point about it anyway
searching for the point after all

time rimes fine rimes
this don´t mean nothing to me
I don´t believe you at all

I walk around, I stand and look and see
winter, spring and summer and fall
take my time, decide if I leave or stay
hoping that I don´t get your call

time rimes fine rimes
this don´t mean nothing to me
I won´t believe it

Stupid Young Girl______________Ekkehard Tenschert 1994

oh how exciting you were
in your knitted pullovers
oh how I loved your hair
as it spread to your shoulders
oh how I felt the man that I wanted to be
it seemed I never had wanted
anything as much as I wanted
you to stay with me

oh how I closed my eyes
I did not want to see
there never would be a common life
for you and for me
yes I ignored the facts
I did not want to know
your infinite power, your curiosity
how it would only make you go

oh how I soon forgot
the look in your eyes
oh how I loved you not
I slipped back into my disguise
yes I returned to my life
I returned to this world
to believe I was stupid
to believe you are a stupid
and innocent young girl

Coconut______________Andreas Leeber, Bernhard Schiesser

on a morning in the later spring
at a beach in Rio de Janeiro
where a nice tanned coconut girl
cokes a line to fly to atmosphero
and some cops like in Miami Vice
try to catch the coconut shopowner
but he tries to become a fly
and he flie up to the sky

help yourself, if you want to win
help yourself, there is no sin
help yourself, to get your own
help yourself, then bless you God

at another place on the same planet
called earth since thousands of years
a girl is sitting on a late Novemberday
don´t know sun and sky so clear
but there comes a man in a helicopter
and he says `here I have what you need
I just come from Rio de Janeiro
and we all take what I have here

and she sees the sun when she sniffs the line
she flies up far to the stars
but the sun is cold and she´s freezing there
and she stays for so many years
but one day she falls and comes down
she falls hard on the pavement
she is sick and there is no kind uncle
who helps her to get her life back

help yourself, if you want to win
help yourself, there is no sin
help yourself, to get your own
help yourself, then bless you God

Only With You______________Ekkehard Tenschert 1994

what am I doing here
watching the sunlight disappear
alone in a foreign land
what did I think I´d understand
of course it´s an experience
I´ll be glad that I had
while all the sad and weariness
I´ll soon forget
but what I want and what I´ll do
I will find out only with you

it´s a bit of an exercise
I sometimes do that
to prove that I can organize
the mess that I make up in my head
I got to see a lot of things this way
but maybe it´s time to change that
maybe it´s time to stay at home
I can´t find out on my own
what I want and what I´ll do
I will find out only with you

The Preacher______________Ekkehard Tenschert 1994

I tell you what love is
it´s a lie
it sneaks up your hearties
like the smeariest spy
it tells you that everything
you wish might come true
but all of this happiness
was never ment for you

I tell you what trust is
it´s a game
no matter how hard you wish
it always stays the same
it works as long both of you
are willing to play
but if one loses
she doesn´t have to stay

I tell you what growth is
it is work
now forget the fun of it
don´t be a jerk
there must be an enemy
making you feel blue
but it´s not your family
I fear it is you

I tell you what faith is
it´s a try
life changes oh so fast
you will never know why
why stick to the questions
you don´t have to ask
it´s none of your business
it isn´t your task

Parents______________Ekkehard Tenschert 1994

Now let me tell you about this lonesome blues
of young boys white lace dreams and women shoes
although to me it seems I´m just like you
you always come up with something else for me to do

Daddy if you look at me
I´m not the man you used to be
nor will I ever make up
for anything you´ve done wrong
if you´d take the time you´d see
that this must be how I must be
you were stoneblind
but you´ve been telling it all along
that I´ll never be the one you wanted

now here comes the other part of that sad story
I also do not fit the other place made up for me
I tried so hard to be on your side
but I turned out to be a widowed bride

Mommy if you look at me
I´m not the boy you used to see
I have grown up
and I turned out to be hard as stone
a traitor to our cause maybe
a sailor to a foreign sea
and I´m so glad
that I´ll be leaving you all alone
and I´ll never be the one you wanted

(let me see the dark side of your smile
let me see your colours and your ties
let me see your unprotected sorrow
let me see your past and your tomorrow)

It______________Ekkehard Tenschert 1994

I try to be honest
I guess that is new
I hope it won´t be to hard
for me or for you
I love our common weekends
the breakfast in the morning too
but when you touch me you´re out of luck
I don´t want to fuck

I don´t know what it is
it´s strange for me too
it´s not I dispise the act
nor I dispise you
I hope that this will change but I´m not sure
we´ll find out what is true
but lets not get anxious, lets not get stuck
I don´t want to fuck

I´m still wondering what love is
wond´ring what is true
I hope that this will work out fine
the best for both for me and you
but if we get the happiness
we need and deserve too
I doubt a little bit
if I don´t want to to it

Lets Stand Around ______________Ekkehard Tenschert 1994

lets stand around here for a while
lets smoke another one for style
lets watch the way we´re leaning here
behind the pricelist on the mirror

lets watch the girls behind the bar
see how professional they are
they give us just another beer
and else pretend we are not here

we are just brooding men
we stand around, we´re hardly moving, man
we do not chat, we do not smile
just stand around here for a while

we light a cig, we get another beer
´cause after all that´s why we´re standing here
we watch the bar girls do their pile
and stand around here for a while

if you´re a new one to come in
don´t try to greet us, do not grin
don´t walk around here like a fool
just find your place there on a stool

after the second glass of beer
if you still are standing here
well we don´t make a lot of fuss
you have proved you´re one of us

we know the program till next fall
read all the posters on the wall
just like them lions in a zoo
we´re here with nothing else to to

when it´s time for going home
on ourselves and all alone
we get our wallets pay our bills
it´s getting late, we´ve had our fills

we are just brooding men
we have a job, we have been losing friends
we do not chat, we do not smile
just stand around here for a while

we light a cig, we get another beer
´cause after all that´s why we´re standing here
we watch the bar girls do their pile
and stand around here for a while

Lovesong For A.______________Ekkehard Tenschert 1994

the moment Nigel came in
I knew you were around
I had been feeling well
but not now
I acted cool
I know the rules
you placed at the other end
with your women friends

you are so moody
that I don´t dare walk up and say hi
you are so angry
that I still remember your first smile
you are so stubborn
that I don´t know how to talk to you
with the first friendly word you said
I fell in love with you

this is no way
to let the evening pass
it took me all my strength
to walk up to you at last

and I said hi
you said low
Ilet out a sigh
and you said so
I said should I lie
you said I don´t wanna know
then I started to cry
no, I didn´t
but I said try
and you said no
and I said why
and you said go
and so I went

bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye Anita
I´ll see you at that bar
I´ll love you from afar
there´ll be a better day
I´ll stumble on your way

Ugly And Old______________Ekkehard Tenschert 1994

for the pleasure that you gave me
you could break my heart again
it was life and it was living
I won´t regret a single thing
and I Know out of experience
that I will get over it
although right at the moment
it doesn´t feel like it

after all this time of sadness
life will fade away the pain
and I will start feeling better
I will want to meet new people again
and I´ll get to know a woman
even more beautiful than you
and I will fall in love with her
and she will love me too

soon we will get married
our first child will be born
and we´ll move out to the country
with our friends to a big farm
and if there will be problems
they will love them just like me
and we will grow together
one big happy family

sometimes you can visit us
bring the little one to school
my wife will really like you
you will have to like her too
when you return to the city
your apartment will feel so cold
and your life will seem so empty
you´ll feel ugly and old
