Clown from the hospice

You'll never live a carefree day
And you'll never have tears of joy
It's sad that the sun never shines for you
Happiness is certainly not for you - not for you, my friend
 
You're alone
Where do you get your strength from?
 
But tearfully, that's how you will nevertheless go through life
And what emerges from your suffering will yet be beautiful
Your art is tragic - exceptionally good
Full of love, real suffering and genuine rage
 
You're alone
Where do you get your strength from?
All around you
Everything is cold and empty
 
People forget very quickly - [that] when the artist is happy
All his courage leaves him - 'cause he only feels good in the dark
People forget very quickly - [that] when the artist is happy
People hardly take notice of him - he's the clown from the hospice
The clown from the hospice
The clown from the hospice
 
So you live in the shadow of voluntary agony
Give us pure beauty and dark fantasies
We'll never really touch your world
So we like it when you lead us through its streets
 
You're alone
Where do you get your strength from?
All around you
Everything is cold and empty
 
People forget very quickly - [that] when the artist is happy
People hardly take notice of him - of the clown from the hospice
So leave him alone - always keep him away from happiness
With him always in self-conflict - 'cause he only feels good in the dark
I feel good in the dark
 
You're alone
Where do you get your strength from?
You're alone
You're almost out of juice
This is how it's got to be
 

Life Before Death

So many stars - were they a special offer?
I'd like to know: Is there life before death -
and if the ice will hold my weight....
 
Who can tell me why I exist?
So many questions - who am I and what am I doing here?
And: Why does every path lead to you?
 
Life is short, life is beautiful
and sad too sometimes
It took me a long time to understand:
Life is pointless without you
 
I recognize you, even when you submerge again
As Lennon said: Love is all you need
That sentence shaped me
 
I feel the rain, between the trees it's rustling loud
I have to move, the water is cold on my skin
I set off towards you
 
Life is short, life is beautiful
and not too lonely, I hope
It took me a long time to understand:
Life is pointless without you
 
Life is short, life is beautiful
and suddenly over, inevitably
It took me a long time to understand
My life is pointless without you
My life is pointless without you
 
Your pupils reflect the blue ocean
I silently ask myself if life can become more beautiful
I'm within your reach
 

Woodburger

Tell me....
Yea?
 
Where do all the furious men come from
With their panic-stricken fear of anal sex
They look like they've always been furious (furious, furious, furious)
Furious at anything that's foreign to them
At anyone who is not combed properly¹
Full of desire for another one thousand years
It's always the same pattern:
They stir up hatred, they lie and then they change the topic
What do Boko Haram² have in common
With right-wing populist parties?
Without fear and hate they won't survive
What makes them this inhuman?
Their inferiority complex or megalomania?
Do we really need these kind of people?
I've got a plan but it's not quite finished (not quite finished)
I'll join the AfD³ and then I'll....

G'day, 8-8, primo hairstyles⁴
Great embodiment of the German culture
Maybe ******⁵ will be my lover (Whou)
I've got to overcome my disgust
Look for dialogue and solutions
I'll go undercover for a few years
The hilarious thing is, they think they're good Christians
The rhyme that goes here is too cheap even for me
You can't just sing against assholes all the time
You'll have to make sacrifices as a guitarist
I'll join the AfD and then I'll....

Fondling - or whipping for who likes it rough
This'll be a lot of moaning in the Bundestag⁶
I'll put the ugly guys on the plenar hall benches (not the plenar hall!)
All this wrinkly, saggy skin
My colleague sang about this some different time⁷
I'm already getting Herpes just thinking about this (Herpes)
Everyone's got to stand at attention at the faction meeting (Attention!)
I'll put Vaseline on my hand and I'll make them....

Me at the Beach

Me, newborn - not cute at all, but mum seems to be happy
Me at 2 years old, an angry look on my face - my parents are already divorced
Me at 3 years old, me at 4 years old, mum and me alone here
Me with the birthday cake - laughing cause I just don't get it
 
Me with grandpa, perfectly healthy - me playing with grandpa's dog
Me with the dog in the flower bed, me with the ear reattached
Me in the south, sunburn, my first holiday ever:
Me at the beach, and me at the bach
 
Me at school, first day, me with the teacher I like
Me at the blackboard - ABC, first report card quite okay
Me visiting the box club, me with a broken nose bone
Me full of pimples - on the way to my first day
 
Me with Nina, trousers bulge

Winner

How lucky you are
To meet me here!
Einstein and Superman in one
Crocodile on my shirt
The Swatch with diamonds
Believe me, I'm one of the very best
Your fairy godmother has
Really good taste
Your fairy godmother had a good day today
 
You're the winner1
And I'm your big win
I am Mr Wonderful2
You're the winner
Because I'm really awesome
 
All the girls are dying of jealousy
One thing you know for sure:
I can have every woman here
But I want you, you have character
But first buy me a glass
Of champagne
I accidentally left my wallet
At home
What a sweet little thing
You are
 
You're the winner
Look how well-built I am
And yet also cultured
You're the winner
In the centre of the Kingdom of Senses
Satisfaction is guaranteed
You're the winner
You're completely over the moon3
I'm a real monster in bed
You're the winner
Komm schon baby, lass mich rein
Ich weiß, ich mach deine Unterhose nass4
You're the winner
 

• 1. The German suffix -in specifies that the winner is female.
• 2. This line is a kind of pun in German, where 'Herrlichkeit' is like 'wonderfulness', and the first few letters spell 'Herr', which is 'Mr'.
• 3. Usually the words 'weg' and 'hin' would be the other way around in this idiom, making me wonder if there's another pun here which I'm not getting. My best guess is it's a pun with a phrase like 'Ist was weg, muss was hin', which means 'one out, one in' and would show the protagonist is not nearly as exclusive in his tastes as he makes himself out to be.
• 4. This being in English already, I've made it German - why not after all?

Mr Sexpistols

I sit all alone on the bus as I go home
Today you told me:
'It's over with us, it's over with us'
In my monthly pass there's a photo of you
I carry it anyway
With me still, with me still
 
Why me? Why me? Why me?
I certainly won't be happy here
Why me?
 
That strap really suited me
I always carried
Always carried your bag, always your bag
In the bus we wrote on a seat
I was Mr Sexpistols
You were Lady Punk, and you were Lady Punk
 
Why me? Why me? Why me?
I certainly won't be happy here
Never - why me?
 
A tear runs down my face
But it can't get over my acne
This tear is as helpless as me
As helpless, as helpless, as helpless as... (so helpless, so helpless)
 
Why have you done this to me, you stupid old cow?
My life is a mess now
You're the reason why, you're the reason why
 
Why me? Why me? Why me?
I certainly won't be happy here
Never, never, no
Why me?

I don't know (if it is Love)

Versions: #2
Two week ago, I saw you for the first time
You were so drunk, you could hardly stand
Out of pity, I brought you home
You tenderly said: 'My Dear, good night'
'My Dear', you said, maybe it was only a joke
Cupid's arrow pierced through my heart
Now I don't know what I should think
Is it really love or do I only find you only cool?
 
I don't know if it's love, when one doesn't drink or eat anymore,
When one hears something and forgets it immediately
I don't know if it's love
 
The next day I visited you
When all the beer was gone, you loudly cursed
You lay on the bed and were quite broad
But all the same, it was just the two of us
I wanted to speak with you about literature and love
But you only laughed
Now I don't know what I should think
Is it really love or do I only find you only cool?
 
I don't know if it's love
When out of all the women one misses only one
When one thinks of one* but kisses another
I don't know if it's love
I don't know if it's love, I don't know if it's love
When while pissing, one constantly misses the toilet bowl
 
* one woman
 

Alone in the night

Alone in the pub
I wait yet again
For something to happen
There you stand in the light
I don't trust my eyes
An angel that looks like you
I must act and fast
Will I order whiskey?
Or should I go to you?
But the guy there with the beer
What does he want with you?
I saw you first
I saw you first
 
Is the chance wasted?
Why doesn't luck ever laugh?
Will I drink myself under the table tonight
Or go back home?
 
[Refrain:]
Alone in the night
Alone in the night
 
But the guy goes away
And I get a fright
Because you're looking right at me
I buy you a drink, ask you:
'Will you come home with me?'
You say 'Yes', so we go
I feel it right in the knee
I've never been so in love
Then a police officer stops us
A bank was robbed
And that isn't permitted
He says that it was you
He says that it was you
 
Now you're locked up
But I'll remain faithful to you
Unfortunately because of that I'll be alone for seven years
 
[Refrain:]
Alone in the night
Alone in the night
Alone in the night
Alone in the night
 
It was too good to be true
I only have your love letters left to read
I cover myself with them
 
[Refrain:]
Alone in the night
Alone in the night
Alone in the night
Alone in the night
 
You are alone, completely alone
So alone, alone in the night
I am alone, so alone
So alone, alone in the night
You are alone, I am alone
We are alone, alone in the night
He is alone, she is alone
It is alone, alone in the night

Never Said

Versions: #3
I wake up and my bed is empty
That actually doesn't bother me at all any more
In fact everything else is in order
so that there's just one little thing:
You've said I can't make it without you
I've heard that you've told it all
I find that absolutely laughable:
I have definitely never said that I miss you
I have definitely never said that I miss you
I have definitely 1 never said I miss you
I miss you
I have said I'm not interested in you any more
Now I notice it is quite difficult
I have said I don't care about you
Now I see your face everywhere
I have said how happy I am
That you're surely secretly torturing yourself
I have said so much that I now regret
But I have never said to you that I miss you
I have never said to you that I miss you
I have never said to you that I miss you
I miss you
I wake up and you're not here
But in my thoughts I'm always with you
I was too proud to give in
Without you I can't live
This just concerns me and you
I would like you to keep it to yourself
So that I can continue to claim
I have never said to you that I miss you
 

• 1. doch doesn't literally mean definitely, it is simply a modal particle that stresses in this case the negative. In English we could equally just put extra emphasis on the word 'Never

Aliens

I went with her through the forest in the night
I held her tight in my arms because it was very cold
We stopped in a clearing
She gave me a kiss, and everything was great
Hey, hey, hey, hey
 
A UFO landed next to us in the grass
I thought, 'Vorsicht Kamera - Verstehen Sie Spaß?'
But then a hatch opened and they jumped out -
Little green men, and they looked evil
 
My whole life I'd never have believed it -
Aliens have kidnapped my girlfriend!
 
My whole life I'd never have believed it -
Aliens have kidnapped my girlfriend!
 
When I regained consciousness I was completely alone
I looked for my girlfriend, where could she have been?
I called her parents, but she wasn't at home
The whole thing looked a hell of a lot like a kidnapping.
Hey, hey, hey, hey
 
Now every night I sit at the place where it happened
I wait for my girlfriend, but she is never there.
Recently a letter came, I think it was from her.
'Greetings, I'm fine, and I think I'll stay here.'
 
My whole life I'd never have believed it -
Aliens have kidnapped my girlfriend!
 
My sex life is completely ruined -
Aliens have abducted my girlfriend!
 

• 1. 'Vorsicht Kamera' and 'Verstehen Sie Spaß' (Could be translated into English as 'Caution, camera' and 'Can't you take a joke?' are both German TV shows that utilize hidden cameras -- Essentially, he believed he was being filmed for such a show
