Texte zum Album “Solid as a rock”

Thousand times

Meet me again by the light of the moon
Before I’m facing to drown in waves of gloom
Open up your heart, can you feel my fear
Look into my eyes filled with tears

A thousand times I kissed you
A thousand times I missed you
A thousand times we were in love
And then we failed - we failed

Hold me in your arms, that world is scaring me
You maybe thousand miles away, that doesn’t bother me
My life seems like a tower that’s build on sand
When everything’s collapsing would you take my hand

A thousand times I kissed you
A thousand times I missed you
A thousand times we were in love
And then we failed - we failed

And when I take a look back
We failed to talk, to talk about all that
Too many words that were unspoken
Too many dreams that were broken

A thousand times I kissed you
A thousand times I missed you
A thousand times we were in love
And then we failed - we failed


High And Low

You kiss me hot, your eyes are cold
You never see what that means to me
You're begging for this and then you want that
No chance for me, you drive me crazy

Ahhh - you make me fly, you make me
Ahhh - and then you push me out of that sky

High and low – high and low
High and low - that's how you go
High and low - always high and low
That's how you go, always high and low

You wanna go and then you stay
You want it forever or maybe only one day
One day you love me and on the next you love me not
I was looking for sweet love, but pain is what I got

Ahhh - you make me fly, you make me
Ahhh - and then you push me out of that sky

High and low – high and low
High and low - that's how you go
High and low - always high and low
That's how you go, always high and low

Ahhh - you make me fly, you make me
Ahhh - then you push me out of that sky
Ahhh - you make me fly, you make me
Ahhh - then you push me out of that sky

High and low – high and low
High and low - that's how you go
High and low - always high and low
That's how you go, always high and low
That's how you go, always high and low


My 6120

I´m a man who knows what he wants, and I live my life at all
In 1985 we formed a Rock’n’Roll band, still rollin’ down the road
We took a bass, some drums and a singer and we put it right in the car
At last my 6120 Gretsch Guitar

We grew up by touring and touring, we called the band Boppin’ B
Wrote some songs about wine and woman and living in misery
Day by day rockabilly in town, I hit the stage and feel like a star
On my 6120 Gretsch Guitar

I wanna live my life, there is no compromise
I´m just feeling free with my guitar on my knee

So we try to go on movin’ with this pretty little Rock’n’Roll Band
Playin’ all these troubles away with the guitar in my hand
And at the end you’ll read these words on my tombstone on the graveyard
Well I’m the man with the 6120 Gretsch guitar
The man With the 6120 Gretsch guitar
Well the Man With The 6120 Gretsch guitar
And I’m the man with the 6120 Gretsch guitar


One touch too much

If you think I’m an easy guy, you are totally wrong
To get me freaking out doesn’t take that long
Don’t touch me, don’t bother me, even don’t stare
I tell you brother, you better beware
You better beware

It was one touch too much
There was one touch too much
One touch too much, one touch too much
One touch too much
There was one touch too much
One touch too much, one touch too much

Stomping on my feet maybe fun for you
And if you’re looking for trouble, it’s the best thing you can do
Don’t push me to the limit, more than I can bear
Keep your hands off me, you better take care
You better take care

It was one touch too much
There was one touch too much
One touch too much, one touch too much
One touch too much
There was one touch too much
One touch too much, one touch too much

It’s the wrong time and I’m the wrong man
Don’t say a wrong word, back off as fast as you can
It’s the wrong place and you’re the wrong one
Don’t go too far, go back to where you belong
Go back to where you belong

It was one touch too much
There was one touch too much
One touch too much, one touch too much
One touch too much
There was one touch too much
One touch too much, one touch too much


Big Bass Boogie

That big bass boogie is gonna shake your booty
That big bass boogie is gonna shake your booty
That big bass boogie is gonna shake your booty
We gonna rock this place with a big fat bass

No doubt about, life's sometimes harder
That you might have thought
And that's the kind of lesson hard and fierce
You have never ever been taught
But if you like to know I have a nice advice
To get you through all that trouble
A big fat bass maybe the right thing
To burst that bubble

That big bass boogie is gonna shake your booty
That big bass boogie is gonna shake your booty
That big bass boogie is gonna shake your booty
We gonna rock this place with a big fat bass

No bucks, no fun, always rain and no sun
That's not the way you wanna go
Some like the mids, some like the treble
But I suggest you to go low
Pump up the volume, turn down the lights
Call your friends to come to your place
Don't let anybody ever bring you down
And don't forget to pump up the bass

That big bass boogie is gonna shake your booty
That big bass boogie is gonna shake your booty
That big bass boogie is gonna shake your booty
We gonna rock this place with a big fat bass

Pump up the volume, turn down the lights
Call your friends to come to your place
Don't let anybody ever bring you down
And don't forget to pump up the bass

That big bass boogie is gonna shake your booty
That big bass boogie is gonna shake your booty
That big bass boogie is gonna shake your booty
We gonna rock this place with a big fat bass


Twisted

Twisted   (4 x)

I'm flashing left when I'm turning right
I sleep all day and I work at night
All my doctors can't help me out of my misery
There are no pills that may help me

Twisted - that's what I am
Twisted - I'm a twisted man

I look into your eyes and say my love is true
When I close the door I forget what I have told you
One day there's only you, one day there's only me
But every single day I drive you crazy

Twisted - that's what I am
Twisted - I'm a twisted man
 

You‘re saying this and then you’re doing that
You never care about those annoying facts
I wouldn’t believe a single word you say
All your promises won’t see the light of day

Twisted   (4 x)

Twisted - that's what I am
Twisted - I'm a twisted man
 


What do you want

What do you want, what do you want from me
What do you want, what do you want from me
I will never be the one you want me to be

The way you look at me with big blue angry eyes
Is scaring me, it makes me realize
There's a fire burning in your soul gettin' outta control

What do you want, what do you want from me
What do you want, what do you want from me
I will never be the one you want me to be

You talk about my faults, that I am a fool
I'm not a stupid man, I understand
You wanna set the rules and say how we gonna play

What do you want, what do you want from me
What do you want, what do you want from me
I will never be the one you want me to be

Honey don't ya think, it's time to talk about these things
Let's set it straight before it is too late
I am not the one you are looking for
So I pack my things, say goodbye and close the door

You use a lot of words I don't understand
I try to bring you down and take your hand
But you push me away ev’ry single day

What do you want, what do you want from me
What do you want, what do you want from me
I will never be the one you want me to be

What do you want, what do you want from me
What do you want, what do you want from me
I will never be the one you want me to be
The one you want me to be
The one you want me to be


 

One more drink

Man I have a hard time, the whole week I roast in hell
No booze, no beer in here as far as I could tell
They have a weekend in hell, hey sinners, it's Saturday
And you get one night out of here that's what they say

Now I’m standing here begging for one more beer
Mister Barman, don’t you know

Beer is out in hell, so give me one more drink and then I’ll go

God would be proud of me to see me in that misery
Dry as a desert, no booze, no beers for the next one million years
Devils are in fear, the hellfire doesn't like beer
And devils don’t feel well, if there’s no fire in hell

Time is running fast, this drink could be my last
Mister Barman, don’t you know

Beer is out in hell, so give me one more drink and then I’ll go
One more drink, Please, give me one more drink
I need one more drink, one more drink

Now I’m standing here begging for one more beer
Mister Barman, don’t you know

Beer is out in hell, so give me one more drink and then I’ll go
Beer is out in hell, so give me one more drink and then I’ll go
Beer is out in hell, so give me one more drink and then I’ll go
Beer is out in hell, so give me one more drink and then I’ll go
Beer is out in hell, so give me one more drink and then I’ll go
One more drink, please, give me one more drink
I need one more drink, one more drink – and then I’ll go


A real long haul 

In 1985 we started a Rock’n’Roll band
In 1985 we were young and ignorant
In 1985 we took a guitar and a drum
A bass and a voice just to have some fun     

Hey Folks, that’s what we call Rock’n’Roll
And everybody knows it was a real long haul

Minute by minute we’ve listened to that sound
Hour by hour we were rockin’ out of bounds
Day by day rockabilly, jump and jive
Until we knew this band was our life

Hey Folks, that’s what we call Rock’n’Roll
And everybody knows it was a real long haul
 

40 years together with the boys
40 years on the road to make some noise            
40 years to tell the people who we are
40 years of rock’n’rollin’ near and far

Hey Folks, that’s what we call Rock’n’Roll
And everybody knows it was a real long haul
Hey Folks, that’s what we call Rock’n’Roll
And everybody knows it was a real long haul


Only one you

There are one million things I wanna see
There are one million things I wanna do
But there is one thing that is for sure
There is always only one you - only one you

I’m sure that it’s not easy for you to understand
But I can’t quit being the man that I am
I’m always on the run, but one thing you have to know
I’m sad when I leave you, I’m glad when I’m back 
Like a castaway I’m drifting through the sea
Will you be the island to rescue me

There are one million things I wanna see
There are one million things I wanna do
But there is one thing that is for sure
There is always only one you - only one you
 

All those days I walk through every street
All those people that I always greet
All that seems more important than spending time with you
So, if you think I’m not in love, I swear that’s not true
Like a lonely rider I stray through the prairie
Will you be my polar star to guide me

There are one million things I wanna see
There are one million things I wanna do
But there is one thing that is for sure
There is always only one you - only one you
  

Like a lonely rider I stray through the prairie
Will you be my polar star to guide me

There are one million things I wanna see
There are one million things I wanna do
But there is one thing that is for sure
There is always only one you - only one you
   


Shake everything

Shake everything (shake, shake, shake, shake)
Shake everything (shake, shake, shake, shake)
Shake everything (shake, shake, shake, shake)
Shake everything – shake everything

Hey, all you kits ’n’ cats come closer listen to me
I'll be true when I'm telling you, I wanna see you sweat and go crazy
That thing is that easy like the ABC
So don't give me excuses and shake your booties

Shake everything - shake your feet and hips
Shake everything - shake your arms and lips
Shake everything - and sing with me
Shake everything – shake everything

Shake a boy, shake a girl, if you're hungry shake an apple tree
Shake absolutely everything you have and see
Just stop hangin' around and hit that fuckin’ floor
You’re not a frail old nun, so come on and have some fun

Shake everything - shake your feet and hips
Shake everything - shake your arms and lips
Shake everything - and sing with me
Shake everything – shake everything

Just wait a moment - get lose
Take a deep breath - and start to move
 

Just stop hangin' around and hit that fuckin’ floor
You’re not a frail old nun, so come on and have some fun

Shake everything - shake your feet and hips
Shake everything - shake your arms and lips
Shake everything - and sing with me
Shake everything – shake everything


The man from El Paso

In 1976, the year I when I was born
Born in a town in Texas, called El Paso
The world of music was filled with Disco that was the main thing
My love turned to real made music: Rock’n’Roll and Swing
After watching a lot of music shows I made a great decision
I just wanna rock this world and become a good musician

I’m the man from El Paso
I’m the man doin’ the Rock’n’Roll show
I’m the one in the middle of the stage
I’m the one in the best age

We moved from the U.S.A, settled down in Germany
First acting as a wizzard, ‘cause on stage I wanna be
Gotta get to know some boys, just play that Rock’n’Roll
So we formed a little rockin’ band being on the road
And I learned and sang and I sang and I learned to find my own way
At last I knew just what I love and here I’m gonna stay

I’m the man from El Paso
I’m the man doin’ the Rock’n’Roll show
I’m the one in the middle of the stage
I’m the one in the best age

Nothing’s gonna stop me now, not rain nor too much sun
Everyday just another place, I’m always on the run
All my dreams have come true, and that’s no lie
Well, my life is a stage and I’ll rock you ‘til I die

I’m the man from El Paso
I’m the man doin’ the Rock’n’Roll show
I’m the one in the middle of the stage
I’m the one in the best age


Gangster of Love

Looking back I remember, I was a nice boy but far too shy
When one day I realized some girls prefer the bad guy
And from that day on the decision was made
I went ice cold and started to steal every lonely heart

Oh oh oh, I was a gangster of love and I've never been true
Oh oh oh, I was a gangster of love until the day I met you
Gangster of love  -  gangster of love

Jesse James Bugsy Siegel and the master Mister Al Capone
Used violence and weapons, I use a smile and a phone
But suddenly you crossed my way and from that day on
The only thing I do is thinking about you

Oh oh oh, I was a gangster of love and I've never been true
Oh oh oh, I was a gangster of love until the day I met you
Gangster of love  -  gangster of love

I wasn't prepared for your kind of gangster style
I lost my mind, you stole my heart and soul
I had no more eyes for other girls or for the stars above
I forgot my past and became a victim of love
 

Oh oh oh, I was a gangster of love and I've never been true
Oh oh oh, I was a gangster of love until the day I met you
Oh oh oh, I was a gangster of love and I've never been true
Oh oh oh, I was a gangster of love until the day I met you
Gangster of love  -  gangster of love
Gangster of love  -  gangster of love
