Apparatus
04:30
|
|||
I've got a straight apparatus
Covering my mind
I hope it's appropriate
For a person of the right kind
I've got a nose inhalator
Covering my face
I hope it's appropriate
In the right time and the right place
If I forget my apparatus it’s going to my head
I may even hurt myself lying in my bed
So I take my apparatus everywhere I go
I'm just saying this so that you will know
I've got a tan escalator
Covering my bones
I hope it's appropriate
So you don't think I'm a tan jones
I've got some spectacle glasses
Covering my eye
I hope it's appropriate
To be looking into your sky
If I forget my apparatus …
I’ve got a mind like a moron
Covering my soul
I hope it's appropriate
For a person who's in my role
I woke up one morning
Stretching my head
After some yawning
Got out of bed
Looked in the mirror and what did I see
An elderly gentleman staring at me
I've got a straight apparatus …
I've got a straight apparatus
I've got a straight apparatus
I've got a straight apparatus

Duke of War
03:43
|
|||
I don`t like the king of Norway
Said the Duke of war
I think I`ll call up my five billion men
Said the Duke of war
So he sent his men to kill the population of Norway
And on the way they killed the rest of Europe
I`m the best one in the world
Said the Duke of war
I don`t like the U.S.A.
Said the Duke of war
I think I`ll call up my five billion men
Said the Duke of war
So he sent his men to kill the population of U.S.A.
And on the way they killed the rest of America
I`m the best one in the world
Said the Duke of war
Never liked that Chairman Mao
Said the Duke of war
I think I`ll call up my five billion men
Said the Duke of war
So he sent his men to kill the population of China
And on the way they killed the rest of Asia
I`m the best one in the world
Said the Duke of war
After dinner I think I`ll have to kill Africa
I don`t like the Australian country
Said the Duke of war
When the world was killed by his five billion men
They began to fight
And all his men they killed each other in an hour or two
And all the time the Duke of war was laughing
The only one left was the Duke of war
Duke of war

Wall of Fame
03:54
|

Behind a wall of fame
You’ll never be the same
You thought the duck was lame
You thought you won the game
You’ll never be the same
Behind a wall of fame
Believing in the myth you made
Believing you're superior of it all
Believing you’re a super trade
Misunderstanding how it works at all
You don’t see that you're going all astray
Who do you betray
Think of that today
Behind a wall of fame …
You tell yourself how great thou art
Divinity is very near to you
Nobody else could take your part
And that’s something that’s very clear to you
But in the end the difference you see
Between you and me
Equals agony
Behind a wall of fame …
Behind a wall of fame

Hurray It's Raining
02:22
|
|||
Hurray it`s raining it`s raining
We`re havin` lots of fun
Everybody is complaining
About the absence of the sun
Hurray it`s raining it`s raining
We don`t care if we`re wet
While the people are complaining
We have the fun they`ll never get
People are talking about the sun
As the only thing to live for
When it rains they don`t have to run
Rain and sun are the roots of life
Hurray it`s raining it`s raining
Be thankful for the rain
All the flower`s fine displaying
Without rain would be in vain
People are talking....
Hurray it`s raining it`s raining
We`re havin` lots ....
Hurray it`s raining it`s raining
It`s raining it`s raining
It`s raining

If You Knew
02:42
|
|||
If you knew how I love you
You would not be surprised
When I always look at you
I think I am in paradise
If you knew how I love you
If you knew my cares for you
When I always think of you
I wish upon a love that`s true
`cos I love you
And all I need to do
And all I want you to
It`s so hard when you can`t see
That you`re the one for me
Look in my eyes when I kiss you
Don`t you see my love for you
Why then can`t you care for me
You know it`s not so hard to do
`cos I love you …
If you knew how I love you
You would not be …

Curse That Rock and Roll
02:49
|
|||
I don`t like that rock and roll music
So curse that rock and roll player
He`s got to be a fool to play that awful mash
I am so fine
`cos I don`t like that rock and roll music
I don`t like that monoton beating
So curse that rock and roll music
It`s cracking and it`s rattling and they`re screaming
I am so fine
`cos I don`t like that rock and roll music
Curse that rock and roll
Curse that rock and roll
It creeps down in my soul
That damned old rock and roll
I don`t like that rock and roll music
So curse those rock and roll players
They got to be so bad to like that idiot`s mess
I am so fine
`cos I don`t like that rock and roll music

Henry Fisherman
03:04
|
|||
Nothing that I say that can`t be heard
Each and every day they know the word
No one anyhow can see the bird
That flies over their heads
No one I can hear that ain`t my friend
No girl that comes near that ain`t my friend
No one anyhow comes in the end
And talks about people
Henry come on home
I sit here and moan
Henry use your phone, now
Henry Fisherman
Everything I say meant for your ears
Each and every day I feel the fears
No one anyhow sharpens your spears
When you`re gone now Henry
Henry come back home
Without you we`re alone
Don`t stay on your own now
Henry Fisherman
Henry come on home....
Oh oh oh

The Dog's Unhappy
03:08
|
|||
The dog’s unhappy
And me unhappy too
The dog’s unhappy
And me unhappy too
When you’re away
We don’t know what to do
The dog’s unhappy
When you’re not in your bed
The dog’s unhappy
When you’re not in your bed
It’s hard to know
What goes on in the head
Howlin’ wolf in my home
He don’t want to be alone
Seems like you're forever flown
So the dog just starts to moan
The dog’s unhappy
When mum has left the house
The dog’s unhappy
When mum has left the house
It’s even worse
Than itching from the louse
The dog’s unhappy
And me unhappy too …
When you’re away
We don’t know what to do
When you’re away
We don’t know what to do

White Stick
04:27
|
|||
Two little babies were born one night
One was brown and the other one white
Two little babies were pure in mind
One could see but the other was blind
And right there in the start there was no other difference
But that difference was bad enough
Two little babies grew up at last
One was brown and the other high classed
Two little babies would meet no more
One could see and the other was poor
And right there in their lives there was a lot of difference
The white man had it all
And he would never fall
Brown man with a white stick
You don`t see anything at all
And they make you feel so small
Brown man with a white stick
They won`t let you be within
`cos the colour of your skin
Brown man with a white stick
Brown man with a white stick
What would be your favourite pick
To know if you're looking out or in
Or to change the colour of your skin
Two little babies were born one night
One was brown and the other one white
Two little babies were pure in mind
One could see but the other was blind
And right there in the start there was no other difference
The white man got it all
The brown man had to fall
Brown man with a white…
Brown man with a white…
Brown man with a white stick

Red Car
04:12
|

She's going in a red car
I can see it in the distance
On her way
She's going in a red car
I think it is a pity
She couldn't stay
She left me in the morning
She said she had to go
I was only yawning
Too tired to say no
She took her car and drove away
Leaving me astray
And no I wasn't weeping
When she went on her way
I was only sleeping
I could not make her stay
She took her car and left me here
Leaving me in fear
She's going in a red car...
I long for her to come on back
I wish she'd never gone
When she's beside me in the sack
Happiness is on
Happiness is on
I miss her every minute
She's not here by my side
Waiting to be in it
She's out there on the ride
She took her car and drove along
Leaving me this song
She's going in a red car...
She's going in a red car...
She's going in a red car

Dirty Man Blues
03:47
|
|||
This is a dirty man blues
And my cow is dirty too
Looking at the ceiling
Wondering what I ought to do
Fall down on my shock-head
Help me know what`s goin` in
Lying on the bedside
Knowing it`s a dirty man blues
This is a dirty man blues
And it shows you where to go
When the time is coming
Man will feel his bad depot
Crawl in muddy water
And you`ll know the height of life
Come on home to my place
Listen to this dirty man blues
Dirty men are coming
Running down the outboard tree
Down my knee
This is a dirty man blues
Yes it`s dirty from head to toe
Jokes are dirty too
And dirt is all you seem to know
Little girl of fourteen
And you think her body’s grand
Take away those ravings
Man this is a dirty man blues
Dirty feelings grow up
Do you think it`s dirty too
It`s not true
Dirty men are coming to my house tonight
Dirty men are coming
Let`s turn out the light
Oh yeah
It`s all right

The Body Strikes Back
03:45
|
|||
The body strikes back and there is no defence
The body strikes back and the pain is immense
How was you supposed to know
Nobody had told you so
The body strikes back and there's no place you can go
The body strikes back and there's no place you can go
So you put it in your mouth and chew
You think that's what you have to do
The taste is sweet and just ideal
Yes it's very fine to be in the line
And have another fatal meal
The body strikes back ...
So you sit there in your cosy chair
You don't mind if you're solitaire
You operate the new remote
Reaching for a drink
It’s there in a blink
But it won't be no antidote
The body strikes back ...

Dangerous World
03:50
|
|||
Hot wheel
Don't touch it
Wear a helmet when you leave the house
Deep sea
Don't swim it
Wear a life vest when you take a bath
Big tree
Don't climb it
You may slip and fall down on the ground
Wet floor
Be careful
Take support and lean against the wall
Dark room
Don’t go there
Shut the door and don’t wait for a call
High stairs
Don’t stumble
It’s so easy going down to fall
It's a dangerous world we live in
It's so hard to do the right things
Beware of everything
Look out for anything
And hope you will survive the day
Shut door
Don’t open
You won’t know what’s hiding there inside
Red light
Don’t pass it
You may have to terminate your ride
Big fight
Don’t go there
Soon enough you probably must hide
It's a dangerous world we …
It's a dangerous world we …
Look out
You’re living

Barbeque End
03:12
|
|||
It was Robin the robber and robbin’ Robert
Two friends I didn`t know
Mr Bag E. Thorpe and Morgan O.
Sitting in the patio
Waiting for the dough
It was Dick’s only brother down in Clay River
Working for Mr Sleek
He had beautiful balls and a flying cheek
Chewing on a leek
Waiting for the slut of the week
The barbecue man lived in the humble yard
When he died they said that his life was hard
Then they all moved on
There was Glue in the mailbox and mail on purpose
We crossed the old black Oh
And a Fart Queen doing the downhill show
Strange trav'ling on the go
That is what we know
The barbeque man left and the wife's alone
When he died his mother just had to moan
Then they all moved on
It was Fry in the kitchen and rising onions
Up with the skinny side
I was all alone I missed my bride
Waiting for some time to bide
Looking at the tide
