Lyrics - Otto & Astrid

Eurosmash!

DO YOU SPEAK DANCE?+

BODYSLAM+

I WANNA GO TOKYO+

LOOK AT MY FRUIT+

SMASH OUR HEARTS+

STREETS OF BERLIN+

It’s so cold outside
Still dark when I arrive
It’s four in the morning
Turn on machinery
At this old bakery
And I can’t stop yawning

Kneading the bread, it’s not easy
Muscles aching and the hours go slow
Kneading the bread, it’s hard, believe me
But right now I got to get my hands on some dough
And right now I gotta get some food to Otto

My face is pressed against the window
It’s 10.30am, you should be home soon
I climb into your bed, wondering what’s happening
My heart skips a beat as you walk into the room

I broke into the local school last night
Here’s a list of homework for you to do
I got a box of bread and cakes for you
But don’t wake me up until four, thirty, five in the afternoon

You take me out, all over this city
These streets belong to you and me
You’re smashing windows
In a derelict factory
You get us into movies for free
And you are everything I want to be
That’s why you mean everything to me

Back at the squat, it’s 10 o’clock
It’s way past somebody’s bedtime
I read him a story, it’s a little bit boring
But I pretend that I don’t mind

The sculptor next door, starts up his chainsaw
I’ll never get this boy to sleep
The screaming wood stops, heavy eyelids drop
And slowly out the door I creep

I’m only blocks away
The closer I get, the more I just want to be…

Jumping up and down
In a nightclub with 500 hundred strangers
Losing my mind
With the rockers and the ravers
Sweaty and dark, I can be anything I want
I’m jumping up and down
In a nightclub with 500 hundred strangers

Ohhhh
It’s nearly time for work
Ohhhh
Something’s gotta give something’s gotta give
Can’t go on like this
Can’t go on like this

Saving up for three months now
We waited all night in the rain
To make sure we got tickets

8th of April 1990
Front row at the Deutchehalle
With me on your shoulders

David Bowie is in Berlin
“And he’s doing a concert”
David Bowie is in Berlin
David, David, David, David, David
Is here

His voice
Went into the microphone
Out of the speakers
Into our ears
And he blew our freaking minds
Amen

We ran all the way home
Singing, ‘We could be heroes’
You and me, we’re gonna be a band
We’re starting tomorrow

What kind of band are we gonna be?
The best band in the world, actually
But don’t drums and guitars cost lots of money?
Just leave that tiny detail to me

In the morning when I woke up
I was shocked and surprised to see
A set of tiny drums
And a red Flying V

I told you I could do it
And I got them all for free
What’s this label here?
‘Kreutzberg School Property’
“Astrid, what did you do?”

They must be getting new ones
I know it sounds crazy
But they threw these ones out in the street
What an opportunity
“That is such great timing”
“I know”

Die Roten Punkte, Die Roten Punkte
Die Roten Punkte, Die Roten Punkte

Oooh baby, baby
H, h, h honey
C, c, c, c’mon
Oooh yeah!

F, f, f, fever
B, b, b, bus stop
D, d, d, dancing
Oooh yeah!

Best band in the world
Best band in the world
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Wooh
Die Roten Punkte, Die Roten Punkte
Die Roten Punkte, Die Roten Punkte

THE SITUATION+

GOODBYE GRUNEWALD+

If only there had been a cancelation
If only I had kept my concentration
Supposed to be my birthday celebration
On that day

If only we had know what was awaiting
If only the train driver started braking
The trouble is when lions are escaping
It’s not safe

Four people was a family
Too bad for us they died
One day we’ll be together
Things should’ve turned out better
Things would’ve turned out better
If these things weren’t so big and heavy
Weren’t so big and heavy
BIg and heavy
BIg and heavy

Hello children we’re your aunt and uncle
We’re here to help you wipe your tears away
Oh yeah
We only heard yesterday

I am Klaus
And I am Bertha
You better listen to what we say
Oh yeah
Cause now we’re here to stay

So take that dumb look off your face
You stupid insignificant child
Before I make you regret the day
That you were ever born

Little boy, bring me wine from the cellar
Little girl, you can rub my feet
Oh yeah
And fix us something to eat

So here we are, we’re the perfect family
All smiling and the house so neat
Oh yeah
Our little dream’s complete

So get to work you lazy child
If you know what’s good for you
I’ll give you something to cry about
I’ll push you down the stairs

We’ll poke out your eyes dirty sticks
You’ll never see the light of day
We’ll slice out your organs and cut off your hair
And sell them to the highest bidder

Otto, I think it’s time leave now
This place is not our home anymore
So pack your bag and meet me at the gate at midnight

Astrid, Is this a secret?
Yes, Otto. It’s a secret.

Fa la la la la la
Fa la la la la la
It’s midnight

We run, we run, we run away
We run, we run, we run away

We run away to our future
I wonder where it’s gonna be
We’ll find a new place called home
I guess I’ll have to wait and see
I’m gonna make all this better
I know that you will show me how
With me you’re never alone
It’s better already now

We run, we run, we run away
We run, we run, we run away

We hitched a ride with a farmer
He took us on the Autobahn
I stole some food from a store
We ate illegal jam from a jar
We broke into a butcher
The hanging pigs gave me a fright
At night we slept on the floor
We held each other really tight

We rode three days on a pony
He was grumpy when he got sore feet
We swam across a big stream
Astrid caught a fish with her teeth
Two whole weeks it was snowing
Climbing slowly to the mountain top
I chopped some wood and made skis
It was good until we tried to stop

We run, we run, we run away
We run, we run, we run away

Slow down
C’mon, we’ve gotta keep moving
We run, we run, we run away
My foot is sore. I’ve got a blister
Jump on my back, I will carry you

We run, we run…

I don’t where to take us now
All these trees, they look the same to me
I had a dream we’d find a place to call our own
Can’t go back and I’m to blame

All I hear are scary sounds
And the darkness, it comes over me
I could get eaten by a spider or a lion
No one would know, we’re all alone

Sleep
Look up in the sky
I’m an angel made of gold
And I’ll watch over you and all of the children in the animal garden

Sleep
Under the bush nearby
I can see you through the leaves
And I’ll watch over you and all of the children in the animal garden

Go to sleep
Go to sleep

Astrid! It’s ok, we can go to sleep here under the bush and we’ll be safe
We’re not safe. If we don’t get out of here we’re gonna be dead!
But the angel said she would look after us
What angel?
The beautiful golden angel in the sky!
That’s not an angel. Otto, that’s Berlin!

Bright lights and people in the street
Late nights and all the candy you can eat
Goin’ to the city, Goin’ to the city

U-Bahn, the trains go underground
On time, You never wait around
Goin’ to the city, Goin’ to the city, Goin’ to the City, Yeah!

Loud gigs and everybody shouts
Cool kids and they’re just making out
Goin’ to the city, Goin’ to the city

Big stores, it’s where you buy your jeans
People, they’re dancing like machines
Goin’ to the city, Goin’ to the city, Goin’ to the City, Yeah!

I’m hearing explosions
Fireworks in the sky
Someone is shouting
The wall’s coming down

People are running
Party in every street
I’m feeling tingles
Hold my hand tight
Don’t know what to do
I’ll stay right by your side
Here we go
Here we go
Here we go
Now we’re on our way
We’re on our way

Running and laughing
Been waiting so long
Screaming and crying
I’m where I belong

Drinking and singing
We smash through the wall
The whole world is watching
As we let it fall

Things will never be the same again
And I was there at the party
And we won’t ever be afraid again
And I was there my life just starting

And all the people
So excited
We always dreamed that
We would see the day that things would change

A new beginning
This is freedom
We always dreamed that
We would see the day that things would change

On that day our lives changed forever
And it’s all thanks to me ‘coz I am so clever
We were there
