Moribund, The Burgermeister
Caught the chaos in the market square
I don't know what, i don't know why, but something's wrong down there
Their bodies twistin' and turnin' in a thousand ways
The eyes all rollin' round and round into a distant gaze
Ah, look at that crowd!
Some are jumping up in the air--say "we're drowning in a torrent of blood!"
Others going down on their knees, seen a saviour coming out of the mud
Oh mother! it's eating out my soul
Destroying law and order, i'm gonna lose control
What can i do to stop this plague, spread by sight alone
Just a glimpse and then a quiver, then they shiver to the bone
Ah, look at them go!
Bunderschaft, you going daft? better seal off the castle grounds
"this is moribund, the burgermeister, i'm going to keep this monster down,
Somebody sent the subversive element; going to chase it out of town."
No-one will tell what all this is about
But i will find out.
This thing's outrageous, i tell you on the level
It's really so contagious must be the work of the devil
You better go now, pick up the pipers, tell them to play

Family Snapshot
The streets are lined with camera crews
Everywhere he goes is news
Today is different
Today is not the same
Today I make the action
Take snapshot into the light, snapshot into the light
Im shooting into the light
Four miles down the cavalcade moves on
Driving into the sun
If I worked it out right
They wont see me or the gun
Two miles to go, theyre clearing the road
The cheering has really begun
Ive got my radio
I can hear whats going on
Ive been waiting for this
I have been waiting for this
All you people in tv land
I will wake up your empty shells
Peak-time viewing blown in a flash

Red Rain
Red rain is coming down
Red rain
Red rain is pouring down
Pouring down all over me
I am standing up at the waters edge in my dream
I cannot make a single sound as you scream
It cant be that cold, the ground is still warm to touch
This place is so quiet, sensing that storm
Red rain is coming down
Red rain
Red rain is pouring down
Pouring down all over me
Well Ive seen them buried in a sheltered place in this town
They tell you that this rain can sting, and look down
There is no blood around see no sign of pain
Hay ay ay no pain
Seeing no red at all, see no rain
Red rain is coming down
Red rain
Red rain is pouring down

In The Sun
Written by joseph arthur
Performed by peter gabriel on diana, princess of wales - tribute
I picture you in the sun
Wondering what went wrong
And falling down on your knees
Asking for sympathy
And being caught inbetween
All you wish for and all you seem
And trying to find anything
You can feel that you can believe in
May gods love be with you
Always
May gods love be with you
Always
I know I would apologise
If I could see your eyes
Cos when you showed me myself, you know
I became someone else
But I was caught inbetween
All you wish for and all you need

Big Time
Suc cess
Im on my way, Im making it
Ive giot to make it show, yeah
So much larger than life
Im going to watch it growing
The place where I come from is a small town
They think so small
They use small words
-but not me
Im smarter than that
I worked it out
Ive been stretching my mouth
To let those big words come right out
Ive had enough, Im getting out
To the city, the big big city
Ill be a big noise with all the big boys
Theres so much stuff I will own
And I will pray to a big god
As I kneel in the big church
Big time

More Than This
I woke up and the world outside was dark
All so quiet before the dawn
Opened up the door and walked outside
The ground was cold
I walked until I couldnt walk anymore
To a place Id never been
There was something stirring in the air
In front of me, I could see
More than this
More than this
So much more than this
There is something else there
When all that you had has all gone
And more than this
I stand
Feeling so connected
And Im all there
Right next to you
It started when I saw the ship go down
I saw them struggle in the sea

Das Fischernetz
Umzingelt von spiegeln
Von traeumen befleckt
Der saum schnuert ein
Was Im koerper steckt
Sanft der bauch, gespannter muskel
Weiche tuecher auf der tigerhaut
Feucht wie gras
Reif und schwer wie bluetenpollen
Der schwamm ist voll
Keiner hat es sehen wollen
Auf alles legt sich kon-ver-sa-tion
Glasur auf warmem, frischem kuchen
Licht draengt durch ihre geheimen tunnel
Ein sog, der nach draussen geht
Bricht sich bahn als greller blitz
Der feinste fratzen erbleichen laesst
Spuer verlangen in leisem fluestern
Spannung Im gesicht
Koerper pressen gegen gitter
Spielt die musik, spielt gericht

Dont Give Up
In this proud land we grew up strong
We were wanted all along
I was taught to fight, taught to win
I never thought I could fail
No fight left or so it seems
I am a man whose dreams have all deserted
Ive changed my face, Ive changed my name
But no one wants you when you lose
Dont give up
cos you have friends
Dont give up
Youre not beaten yet
Dont give up
I know you can make it good
Though I saw it all around
Never thought I could be affected
Thought that wed be the last to go
It is so strange the way things turn
Drove the night toward my home
The place that I was born, on the lakeside

Out Out
Had enough of this
Out out out out
I seen a crazy dog, crazy dog
In the flowers in the wood, crazy dog
Ive seen a crazy dog, crazy dog
Crash through flowers in the big wood
Do not know why it is that everywhere I go
Im seeing tall trees, tall trees
They cover me
All around me
As theyre standing up all around me
With their big leaves, small leaves
They cover me
Ive had enough
I want out out, out out
Gotta do something, cant do nothing
Cause I know these people, they dont know me at all
I want to hold you in my arms
I want out, I want out, out out
I want out, I want out, out out

Nicht Die Erde Hat Dich Verschluckt
Zweimal zwei - von wand zu wand
Klappen vor dem fentsern, du tastest mit der hand
Feucht der boden, klamm das lager
Sie treiben dich zum wahnsinn - ohne naechte und tage
Sie fuettern dich mit dreck; sie fuettern dich mit luegen
Wollen dich brechen - den mut besiegen
Nichts kannst du tun, endlos jeder tag
Dein kopf fiebert staendig - dein koerper wird schwach
Bleib stark, bleib stark
Sie sperren dich in kaesten - in schwarzer stille
Lass dich nicht zerstoeren - bewahr deinen willen
Bleib stark
Du hast dein leben eingesetzt
Bist allein in dieser nacht
Draussen sind deine waerter
Einer schlaeft, einer lacht
Was wissen sie von deiner freiheit
Und der spur, die dein koerper macht
Sie holen dich raus - licht schmerzt in den augen
Zum raum fuers verhoer - ... eine zigarette erlauben?
