Hooka Hey

This is the anthem of the handsome ransom...

We didn't want to cause any trouble
We just wanted them to listen to the band,
So we gave 'em a fax that said:
We have hidden a bomb in your womens toilet
If you wanna prevent the desaster
Come to the club
On the 25th to see us, but they came not
We paid 500 marks for that
Some people never heard anything 'bout jokes

This is the anthem of the handsome ransom...
Hello hartwig!
We've got the tapes of your new, fantastic band
So if you want them back
You gotta place 50.000 bucks in
The womens toilet of the teldec,
You know,
Otherwise you won't hear your band again
Cause we will erase everything
Come on hartwig
Come on

Come on...

This is the anthem of the handsome ransom...

We thought musics got
Something to do with instruments and feelings
This is not the truth!
Lawyers and money that is what counts
We sat in a boat with sharks all around us
We've tried to get rid off 'em
But when they smell money
You can't hold 'em back
So we've invented our own kind of kidnapping
We're kidnapping ourselves
And you pay the ransom
That sounds good, ha

That sounds good...

This is the anthem of the handsome ransom...

That sounds good...

This was the anthem

Little jimmy watkins wasn't ready
When the winter came
He forgot to order coats so he shivers
Just himself to blame
And the marketwives covered with blankets
I hear them shout in vain
They try to sell their southern fruits
In the icy rain

Slowly comes the wintertime
Snowflakes melting on the enginehood
And all the young girls put on their scarfs
Before they haunt their neighbourhood

So sorry that i'm romantic
So sorry that i'm romantic

Hot grey steam out of the drains
I can't see the traffic lights
And the smell of cookies and candles
Icecold stary skies
Snowballs fly around my head
And linda's laughing bright
The saucy little skater falls on his nose
And cries soon he's outta sight

Slowly comes the wintertime
Snowflakes melting on the enginehood
And all the young girls put on their scarfs
Before they haunt their neighbourhood

So sorry that i'm romantic...

Revelation

This is the time for revelation
You can't impress me with your education
Cause what i want from you is not your head
But i tell you what to do with it before we go to bed

And that is:
Throw it away
Revelation

You've got a boyfriend with long black hair
I tell you what baby i don't care
You took my finger so test the rest
Compare me to your "heinz" and then
Tell me who's best, and
Throw him away...
Revelation

This is the time for revelation
So let down your pants

She believes in a god above
She says the bible is the book of love
She says: take me in your arms
And i'll tell you what i'll do
I love you tonight and then i'll kick you, and:

Throw you away...

"good morning, sit down!"

Don't sing anybody's anthem
Till you know what's on his mind
Keep the little grey ones working
Don't believe them deaf and blind

Ask them questions
Ask them questions
Where when who and why
Shut up yo mama tells ya
Shut up yo mama tells ya too
Shut up yo teacher tells ya
And you're gonna be their fool
And you're gonna be their fool

And when you ask them too much
They mostly answer with a sigh
And if you do it too directly
You won't get a real reply

Ask them questions...

Shut up...

"sit down!"

This is no story it´s the key of existence
A little thing you better not forget
I don´t know nothing bout it´s a water-resistance
Why don´t you use your head

And survive, survive, survive
You got to survive
Survive, survive, survive
You got to survive

So tell me darling what you wanna be
A welcome idiot in an appletree
I shake you up and i shake you down
Down to the ground

To survive, survive, survive
You got to survive
Survive, survive
All you got to do is to survive
You just got one life
All you got to do is to survive
You just got one life
So better be careful boy

Survive, survive, survive...

15 minutes to show
And 15 more days to go
I feel like a cake and every night i cut
A piece out for you
So don't tell me that you're hungry
I know you are, but i am too
I won't tell you what i want
But i'll tell you what i won't do

Oh no
I won't cut myself into pieces
For no one
Oh no i won't do it for you
Won't cut myself into pieces

So look here, here i stand
With that cake in my hand
And hungry hearts are the only thing
That a man like me can't stand
Don't tell me that you're hungry
I know you are but i am too
I won't tell you what i want
But i'll tell you what i won't do

Oh no
I won't cut myself into pieces
For no one
Oh no i won't do it for you...

No i won't do that
Cut myself into pieces

The days are gone when the girls
Used to kiss his nose
To wake him up in the morning
He looks at his wife once she was young
But now she's older
Than himself and all that happend without warning

Trapped today, trapped tomorrow
Trapped in love, and trapped in sorrow
Sorry my train, won't stop at your station
Trapped today, trapped tomorrow
Trapped in love, and trapped in sorrow
Sorry my train, won't stop at your station
And no explanations

The days are gone when the boys
Used to bring her flowers every night
Just to please her
There was this man, now she's his wife.
They've got two kids
He works from 9 to 5
He put her in a freezer

Trapped today, trapped tomorrow...
