My thing

As I was a young man
I relaxed sometime there
In the meadow in front of the Hotel Kempinski,
Drum Sticks in the pocket In the hand a Cognac Bottle
And a autograph from Klaus Kinski
Looked up to the white castle
Or worked at Blohm and Voss.
No, that was somehow clear,
Someday do I live there
In the Presidential Suite
Where it doesn't rain and no draft goes through
And what I order there?
Canned beer and caviar!
 
And I do my thing,
Doesn't matter what the others say.
I go my way,
Whether Straight or oblique,
That doesn't matter.
I do my thing,
Doesn't matter what the others babble.
What these feckin' retards suggest you,
That doesn't matter.
I do my thing.
 
And now you come from the province,
And though everyone says you're crazy,
You will make it exactly like that
Do it the charming way
Sometimes elastic, sometimes hard,
Sometimes you have to
force the luck too.
Later Wilhelm Wieben will speak:
He has always remained faithful
Fashion came, fashion went,
And you were still the king.
 
Yeah you do your thing,
Doesn't matter what the others say.
You go your way,
Whether Straight or oblique,
That doesn't matter.
You do your thing,
Doesn't matter what the others babble.
What these feckin' retards suggest you,
That doesn't matter.
 
And you remained faithful
And Roomservice is written with U and H
 
Yeah I do my thing,
Doesn't matter what the others babble.
I go my way,
Doesn't matter what the others babble.
What these feckin' retards suggest you,
That doesn't matter.
Doesn't matter what the others babble.
What these feckin' retards suggest you,
That doesn't matter.

No More Mr. Nice Guy (You have to work hard on a bad reputation)

[Udo:]
The first record that he'd heard
Was just some crooner's crap
A happy world, no one disturbing
And he was Dr. Nice
But one day he met with Elvis
That really blew him away
The sweet poison of rebellion was injected into his veins
 
No more Mr Nice Guy
No more Mr Clean
No more Mr Nice Guy he said
You have to work hard on a bad reputation
 
[Alice:]
I got no friends 'cause they read the papers
they can't be seen with me
And I'm gettin' real shot down
And I'm getting mean
 
No more Mister Nice Guy
No more Mister Clean
No more Mister Nice Guy, they say
I'm sick, I'm obscene
 
[Udo:]
My dog bit me on the leg today
my cat clawed my eyes
[Alice:]
Ma's been thrown out of the social circle
and dad has to hide
 
[Udo:]
I went to church incognito
When everybody rose
[Alice:]
The Reverend Smith
he recognized me and punshed me in the nose, he said
 
No more Mister Nice Guy
No more Mister Clean
No more Mister Nice Guy, they say
I’m sick, I’m obscene
 
No more Mister Nice Guy
No more Mister Clean
No more Mister Nice Guy, they say
He's sick, he's obscene
 

Nothing like That

Yeah, come on, hit, hit it
 
[Oh yeah]
[Oh yeah, yeah, Udo's in the house]
[Oh yeah, listen]
[I'm telling you]:
 
Actually, I'm nothing like that
But too often I just haven't got the time to be myself
Right now, you're meeting someone
Whom I know just as little as you do
 
I've got so many appointments
At the disco, in court and at the bank
So I simply send my alter egos there
While the real me is staying in the closet
 
Refrain:
I'm not at all the kind of guy
That everybody thinks I am
And I'm going to
Prove that to you some time soon
Actually, I'm nothing like that
But too often I just haven't got the time to be myself
Right now
You're meeting someone
Whom I know just as little as you do
 
I'm pretty sure you've got a wrong picture of me in your head
Something just like a real Kujau1
I'm sorry, it's not my fault
Because my real me is currently on vacation
 
(Refrain)
 
In the end, I've got one question left:
Why do you always take everything I say
Literally? That's quite a shame.
 
(Refrain)
 
Actually, we're nothing like that
But too often we just haven't got the time to be ourselves
Right now, you're meeting some people
Whom we know just as little as you do

Everything's All Right Aboard the Andrea Doria

At Uncle Pö's, a band of retirees
Has been playing Dixieland for twenty years now
They have a groupie, too
Her name is Rosa or something like that
And she's dancing on the table
Just like a go-go-go girl
 
And now there's Paula from St. Pauli1
Who takes off her clothes every time
And it's Lola's birthday
And they're raising their glasses, hoping
That one day she'll be as old
As she already looks
 
And anyway, everything's all right again
Aboard the Andrea Doria
 
And anyway, everything's all right again
Aboard the Andrea Doria
 
Gottfried is the name of the boy
Back there, at the piano
And for every ragtime he plays
He's given a schnapps and a beer
 
And some guy in the booth
Is shocking his girl
And Berni Flottman believes
That he's an astronaut
Now another one is coming over
From the booming discotheque
And I guess that our steam ship is about to sink
 
But everything else is all right today
Aboard the Andrea Doria
 
Andrea Doria...
 
At Uncle Pö's, a band of retirees
Has been playing Dixieland for twenty years now
They have a groupie, too
Her name is Rosa or something like that
And she's dancing on the table
Just like a go-go-go girl
 
Once more, it doesn't even really matter
And Leda is dreaming of a pelican
And either way, it's been far too late
And even the shrink has not idea how to carry on
 
But everything else is all right today
Aboard the Andrea Doria
 
Andrea Doria...
 

• 1. quarter in Hamburg, known for it's red-light district

When you're feeling down

When the day is coming to an end
And you're at home all by yourself
And you don't know how to go on
Just know that
I'm always there for you
Yo, it's never to late for the two of us
No matter where I may be
I'm coming over right away
 
[Chorus:]
When you're feeling down
There's nothing stronger than the two of us
We stick together
All the rest doesn't matter to us
Doesn't matter to us
 
For how many years
Have we been tearing around the world
Accomplices, like we always were?
We took it easy and stood in line
For the rollercoaster that is this world
And the ride has mostly
Been a pleasant one for us
Sometimes up, sometimes down
But nothing ever knocked us out
 
(Chorus)
 
When you're in trouble
The two of us is the best there is
And I'll say: Keep calm
Even the toughest shit
Will be over, eventually
Yo, that goes without saying
 
Two people by the highway side
Holding their thumbs into the wind
It was about time to get moving again
For we're always at the forefront
 
When you got a friend
An accomplice like me
We're gonna do our thing alright
 
(Chorus)
 
When you're in trouble
The two of us is the best there is
And I'll say: Keep calm
Even the toughest shit
Will be over, eventually
