the early morning - before the dawning
this is the moment when we care about the offspring
after the shower - we got the power
walk in the streets thinking who is to deflower

we got the sunny weather
we got the fun forever
we sleep away the rainy days

we got the sunny weather
we got the fun forever
we sleep away the rainy days

and in the meantime - we got the sunshine
we call the waitress and we look into her neckline
the minute after - the big disaster
her strap tore and there was a lot of laughter

we got the sunny weather
we got the fun forever
we sleep away the rainy days

we got the sunny weather
we got the fun forever
we sleep away the rainy days

and when it’s raining - we’re not complaing
we look up to the sky and see the clouds are fading
we’re contagoius - come on and join us,
tie your shoes and go crazy for The Busters

we got the sunny weather
we got the fun forever
we sleep away the rainy days

we got the sunny weather
we got the fun forever
we sleep away the rainy days

it was a busy day filled with rubbish
no one really needs
unpleasant news in the papers
and on tv
dirty deeds

i wasn’t satisfied so i decided,
it was time to make some action
so i washed up the dishes
hoping for some relief
and some distraction

the reflection of my face in the water
wasn’t pleasant at all
and as i remembered what put me in this state
i shouted through the hall

having a good time
having a good time
we just sit and enjoy the ideas that we have
having a good time

there’s no better time to cross the line
between reality and feeling good
all the plans and the dreams that we have
will work out that’s understood

having a good time
having a good time
we just sit and enjoy the ideas that we have
having a good time

the waitress is a good listener
you must be aware my friend
mind what you say when you’re talking to her
you regret it before the night end

having a good time
having a good time
we just sit and enjoy the ideas that we have
having a good time

all the things that you’ve swallowed
come easily up when the sun goes down
so you speak real frank and open to all your friends
until there’s no one around

having a good time
having a good time
we just sit and enjoy the ideas that we have
having a good time

having a good time
having a good time
we just sit and enjoy the ideas that we have
having a good time

having a good time

you’re late for work
you’ve gotta run
the weekend went by
and now it’s gone
the first shit of the day
is the dog shit on your way

you’re stuck in traffic jam
so you swear as loud as you can
why’s it always only you
kept up by fools with nothing to do

you’re so poor, you’ve got it bad
no one can be half as sad
you’re not the only person to be hurt

things go wrong and you can’t help it
if you ain’t blind you can tell it
sometimes it’s monday all over the world

at work no one’s really nice
except for all these little lies
like: you’re looking good today
can’t they see it’s a monday

you’re so poor, you’ve got it bad
no one can be half as sad
you’re not the only person to be hurt

things go wrong and you can’t help it
if you ain’t blind you can tell it
sometimes it’s monday all over the world

cars break down and couples fight
that really sounds unique
your hairstylist should go to jail
and your best friend is a freak

your soccer team lost every game
and that’s for you. you feel the same
get into your car
and scratch your bosses jaguar

you’re so poor, you’ve got it bad
no one can be half as sad
you’re not the only person to be hurt

things go wrong and you can’t help it
if you ain’t blind you can tell it
sometimes it’s monday all over the world

you’re so poor, you’ve got it bad
no one can be half as sad
you’re not the only person to be hurt

things go wrong and you can’t help it
if you ain’t blind you can tell it
sometimes it’s monday all over the world

i watched you for some time
and i consider you divine
charming little girl
i think that we could rock the world
but you’re so shy
so you and i will never ever touch the sky

don’t you fear what you don’t know
i am not so bad
aging without memories
wouldn’t that be sad

don’t you fear what you don’t know
please take my advice
i appear to be frog
but who knows i might be a prince in disguise

a prince in disguise

i’ve got worn out shoes
i’m not the one that you would choose
and beer’s my favourite drink
no cocktails neither green or pink
but you’re so shy
so you and i will never ever touch the sky

don’t you fear what you don’t know
i am not so bad
aging without memories
wouldn’t that be sad

don’t you fear what you don’t know
please take my advice
i appear to be frog
but who knows i might be a prince in disguise

a prince in disguise

but you’re so shy
so you and i will never ever touch the sky

don’t you fear what you don’t know
i am not so bad
aging without memories
wouldn’t that be sad

don’t you fear what you don’t know
please take my advice
i appear to be frog
but who knows i might be a prince in disguise

it was a rainy monday morning
and i had an aching head
didn’t feel like facing this world
rather would have stayed in bed

steped into the subway
closed my eyes for a short dream
when i woke up i saw her
beautiful like nothing i’ve seen

beautiful girl
thanks for making my day
this world can’t be so bad
without these sallies and janes and elaines

beautiful girl
thanks for making my day
this world can’t be so bad
without these sallies and janes and elaines

driving on the motorway
the road didn’t seem to end
i was boiling in my car
the radio my only friend

i watched this covertible
in the mirror for some time
and when it passed my be it felt so bittersweet
a brief look at something divine

beautiful girl
thanks for making my day
this world can’t be so bad
without these sallies and janes and elaines

beautiful girl
thanks for making my day
this world can’t be so bad
without these sallies and janes and elaines

i was sitting in this cafe trying to stay awake
when i saw this dark haired there -twice as sweet as my cake
she was cleaning the street
not knowing she was being adored
and when she got down on her knees
i jumped up and praised the lord

beautiful girl
thanks for making my day
this world can’t be so bad
without these sallies and janes and elaines

beautiful girl
thanks for making my day
this world can’t be so bad
without these sallies and janes and elaines

beautiful girl
thanks for making my day
this world can’t be so bad
without these sallies and janes and elaines

beautiful girl
thanks for making my day

i want a big, big bowl of figs for a meal
and the excitement for my baby could be real

i want a big, big bowl of figs for a meal
and the excitement for my baby could be real

i’m neither sixteen, nor seventeen
she isn’t even ugly, she’s a beauty queen
but there’s a little problem and one thing that could heal
i need a big, big bowl of figs for a meal

i want a big, big bowl of figs for a meal
and the excitement for my baby could be real

i want a big, big bowl of figs for a meal
and the excitement for my baby could be real

when she’s in top form, i am out of power
when i’m at my best, her headache starts to lour
i asked the fortune-teller: "what can make me heal?"
he said: take a big, big bowl of figs for a meal

i want a big, big bowl of figs for a meal
and the excitement for my baby could be real

i want a big, big bowl of figs for a meal
and the excitement for my baby could be real

i want a big, big bowl of figs for a meal
and the excitement for my baby could be real

i want a big, big bowl of figs for a meal
and the excitement for my baby could be real

Listen To Dr. Ring Ding...

i want a big, big bowl of figs for a meal
and the excitement for my baby could be real

i want a big, big bowl of figs for a meal
and the excitement for my baby could be real

remember when you came up to me and said:
”now, baby, it’s the way it’s got to be!”
you gave me that smile, it made me wild and i said:
”baby, we’re still young as a child!”

time keeps running out
i wanna shout
i wanna move right out of this crime
crime of my life
i wanna find another piece of mind

is this the way to say that you don’t love me?
now it’s gone today?
is this the way to say that it’s all over?
now it’s gone, gone away?

i turned around and started to cry and you said:
“baby, it’s time to say goodbye”
it hurt so much, it felt so bad, this strike of misery
it’s making me so sad

time keeps running out
i wanna shout
i wanna move right out of this crime
crime of my life
i wanna find another piece of mind

is this the way to say that you don’t love me?
now it’s gone today?
is this the way to say that it’s all over?
now it’s gone, gone away?

is this the way to say that you don’t love me?
now it’s gone today?
is this the way to say that it’s all over?

if your honey plans to leave the house?
she meets her best friend without any doubt
wearing seven inch boots and her most fancy suit
relax, have a smoke, she’s not preparing for you

the piper is in town
the piper is in town
the piper is in town
the piper is in town

no man is able to tell the threat
he’s just a guy wearing a funny hat
they are all deaf for his magic pipe
to them it’s just another funny mood of their wives

cause quiet is the night and shiny the stars
the city’s all empty and sleepy the bars
just outside of town, you can hear a fuzzy sound
the piper is around

the piper is in town
the piper is in town
the piper is in town
the piper is in town

when he talks he seems to be so wise
he knows all the problems of all the guys
if they knew the truth they’d kick him out of the door
’cause he’s had all their women before

cause quiet is the night and shiny the stars
the city’s all empty and sleepy the bars
just outside of town, you can hear a fuzzy sound
the piper is around

the piper is in town (he’s the man)
the piper is in town (he’s the man)
the piper is in town (he’s the man)
the piper is in town (he’s the man)
the piper is in town (he’s the man)
the piper is in town (he’s the man)
the piper is in town (he’s the man)
the piper is in town (he’s the man)

he’s the man
he’s the man
he’s the man
he’s the man
he’s the man

judy, nobody thrilled me the way like you did
judy, now my life is so sad and grey (sad and grey)
judy, you cast a spell on me and you knew it
you did the most wonderful things in your own special way (special way)

walking down the street in the summer heat
you told me your dreams of a better life
we saw this crazy car and after walking so far
we stole it and you said, you’d become my wife

judy, nobody thrilled me the way like you did
judy, now my life is so sad and grey (sad and grey)
judy, you cast a spell on me and you knew it
you did the most wonderful things in your own special way (special way)

your father was so nice, so understanding and wise
so i took the package he gave me to the plane
heading for the states, he said i’d meet one of his mates
but i only meet some real big guys in jail

judy, nobody thrilled me the way like you did
judy, now my life is so sad and grey (sad and grey)

five feet high and not very shy
she said: “boy, hey you just wait”
take you at five, have done with your life
and don’t be very late

oh, what a beautiful one
oh, my girl is a wonderful beauty
my girl, she can dance like a rudy
my girl, and when she steps on my toes
she’s my girl, feels like a fairy kisses my nose

my girl is a prima ballerina
my girl is a tiny signorina
my girl,
and when she lies on my,
she’s my girl, there’s nothing left for me to see

the last that i know was the smell of a rhino
her hit was pretty hard
since then we’ve been married
my dreams have been buried
no one will tear us apart

oh, what a beautiful one

why do you act is if you just don’t care?
why do you act like i’m not really there?
don’t you know what you’re missing?
not dancing with me and not kissing
the lips that say your name every night

on monday i was your postman
on tuesday i repaired your car
i’ll keep working under cover
till one day you’ll make me your lover
meanwhile i say your name every night

wednesday i drove your taxi
thursday i was on tv
i make money like hell
one day the richest pal
of the world says your name every night

i cleaned your windows on friday morning
but you had your curtains closed
i was worried ’bout your health
and so was someone else
and your lips whispered his name all night

i cleaned your windows on friday morning

40 minutes away from town
there’s a place called the joy jumps chicken house
check into the site, the look is so polite
50 chicks around and me, oh lord, i’m one

i love the sun
skankin ’round and having a good time
laying an egg, but, in fact,
the farmer looks as if he’s searching for a fat one

no doubt
soon you’ll be the one who’s out
no doubt
soon you’’ll be the one who’s out

in the kitchen on a chair
his daughter’s waiting with a look that really scares
waterfalls run out of their slimy slippery mouth
she pulls my old legs off and rubs down my dark skin

with a grin
my well done breast is taken off
and placed in her face
realize that good times and join the past

no doubt
soon you’ll be the one who’s out
no doubt
soon you’’ll be the one who’s out

no doubt
soon you’ll be the one who’s out

life is sweet as can be
two hearts in perfect harmony
we feel the same, but what a crime
never at the same time

i say hello to you and you, you say goodbye
when i say: “hi, good morning”, you, you say good night
i like a glass of wine and you like sipping beer
i hate horror movies that you hold so very dear

cheer up, rudie
she spices up your life
life’s tough, rudie
but not as tough as my wife

life is sweet as can be
two hearts in perfect harmony
we feel the same, but what a crime
never at the same time

life is sweet as can be
two hearts in perfect harmony
we feel the same, but what a crime
never at the same time

i like to dance real slow but square dance is your style
so i look on your eyes wehn you, you pass right by
i like sex on the beach, to you it’s just a drink
at least in this respect i’m quicker than you think

cheer up, rudie
she spices up your life
life’s tough, rudie
but not as tough as my wife

life is sweet as can be
two hearts in perfect harmony
we feel the same, but what a crime
never at the same time

there’s a state of mind that you can’t describe
if you don’t know, you never spend a night
hangin’ out with the boys
hangin’ out with the boys

you say what you think and if it’s nothing at all
we don’t give a damn, no we don’t care at all
hangin’ out with the boys
hangin’ out with the boys

life is simple
and there’s no room for complications
good jokes, good drinks, good fun
that’s our favorite combination

hangin’ out with the boys
hangin’ out with the boys
hangin’ out with the boys
hangin’ out with the boys

sophistications got one day off
sometimes we might get a little rough
hangin’ out with the boys
hangin’ out with the boys

but when it comes to the point when you need a friend
smart advises and beer will never find to an end
hangin’ out with the boys
hangin’ out with the boys

life is simple
and there’s no room for complications

hangin’ out with the boys
hangin’ out with the boys

hangin’ out with the boys
hangin’ out with the boys

our language is the same

good jokes, good drinks, good fun
understanding without words

let me tell you, what’s on my mind
her stereo’s just driving me bananas
she’s so stubborn, you know her kind
all day long, she just listens to Alanis Morisette
but i can’t never get that song out of my head

if you like i will tell you what it is
it’s just the kind of old school dance
and it goes, and it goes
and it goes something like this

like this
something like this

i can’t blame her for the shit she likes
it’s just the taste, so i gonna keep her running
she loves listening to whining dykes
going on and on, well jesus, now where’s the fun in that?
i’m happy i can’t get this song out of my head

if you like i will tell you what it is
it’s got an off-beat rhythm and a melody
and it goes, and it goes
and it goes something like this

like this

es ist wahr, liebe macht blind
sonst hätt’ ich sicher längst gemerkt,
dass wir nicht mehr zusammen sind

es ist wahr, liebe macht blind
doch das macht mir überhaupt nichts
denn ich bin ein sonntagskind

baby, seit du weg bist
war die einsamkeit mein bester freund
und ich freu’ mich auf den tag
an dem die Sonne wieder scheint

wenn die sonne wieder scheint

es ist kaum zwei jahre her (zwei jahre her)
du warst weg
und meine welt war plötzlich einsam, kalt und leer

es ist kaum zwei jahre her
und ich muss sagen
ich vermiss’ dich wirklich überhaupt nicht mehr

ich hab’ immerhin schon fast
seit einer woche nicht geweint
und ich warte auf den tag
an dem die sonne wieder scheint

wenn die sonne wieder scheint

ich bin alleine
freunde hab’ ich keine
bin so alleine
und meine tränen fallen schwer wie steine

es ist wahr, das leben ist schön
und ich bin sicher
irgendwann wirst du ganz plötzlich vor mir stehen

es ist wahr, das leben ist schön
ja, ich freu’ mich auf den tag
wenn wir uns endlich wiedersehen

dann nehm’ ich dich in die arme
und wir sind wieder vereint
und ich weiss, das ist der tag
an dem die sonne wieder scheint

wenn die sonne wieder scheint
wenn die sonne wieder scheint
wenn die sonne wieder scheint
