Lyrics for any child of the 80's


Rock me Amadeus...
Rock rock rock rock me Amadeus
Rock me all the time to the top

Er war ein Punker
Und er lebte in der groen Stadt
Es war Wien, war Vienna
Wo er alles tat
Er hatte Schulden denn er trank
Doch ihn liebten alle Frauen
Und jede rief:
Come on and rock me Amadeus

Amadeus Amadeus, Amadeus
Amadeus Amadeus, Amadeus
Amadeus Amadeus, oh oh oh Amadeus

Er war Superstar
Er war populr
Er war so exaltiert
Because er hatte Flair
Er war ein Virtuose
War ein Rockidol
Und alles rief:
Come on and rock me Amadeus

Amadeus Amadeus, Amadeus
Amadeus Amadeus, Amadeus
Amadeus Amadeus, oh oh oh Amadeus

Come on and rock me Amadeus
Amadeus Amadeus, Amadeus
Amadeus Amadeus, Amadeus
Amadeus Amadeus, oh oh oh Amadeus

Es war um 1780
Und es war in Wien
No plastic money anymore
Die Banken gegen ihn
Woher die Schulden kamen
War wohl jedermann bekannt
Er war ein Mann der Frauen
Frauen liebten seinen Punk

Amadeus Amadeus, Amadeus
Amadeus Amadeus, Amadeus
Amadeus Amadeus, oh oh oh Amadeus

Come and rock me Amadeus....

Baby baby do it to me rock me
Baby baby do it to me rock me
Baby baby do it to me rock me
Ja ja ja
Baby baby do it to me rock me
Baby baby do it to me rock me
Baby baby do it to me rock me

Amadeus Amadeus, Amadeus
Amadeus Amadeus, Amadeus
Amadeus Amadeus, oh oh oh Amadeus...

OK... You asked for it...

Actually no one asked for it...

But I'll see your Amadeus and raise you one
Kommissar!



Zwei drei vier one two three
Its easy to see
But its not that I don't care so
Cause I hear it all the time
But they never let you know
On the TV and the radio
She was young her heart was pure
But every night is bright she got
She said sugar is sweet
She come rappin' to the beat
Then I knew that she was hot

She was singin
Don't turn around, oh oh
Der Kommissar's in town, oh oh
You're in his eye
And you'll know why
The more you live
The faster you will die

Alles klar, Herr Kommissar?

She said babe you know
I miss Jill and Joe
And all my funky friends
But my street understanding
was just enough to know what she really meant
And I got to thinking while she was talking
That I know she told the story
Of those special places that she goes
When she rides with the others in the subway

Singin'
Don't turn around, oh oh
Der Kommissar's in town, oh oh
And if he talks to you
And you don't know why
You say your life
Is gonna make you die...

Alles klar, Herr Kommissar?

Well we meet Jill and Joe
And brother Herr
And the whole cool gang (and oh)
They're rappin' here they're rappin' there
But she's climbin' on the wall
Its a clear case, Herr Kommissar
Cause all the children know
They're all slidin' down into the valley
They're all slipping on the same snow

Hear the children
Don't turn around, oh oh
Der Kommissar's in town, oh oh
He's got the power
And you're so weak
And you're frustration will not let you speak

Don't turn around, oh oh
Der Kommissar's in town, oh oh
And if he talks to you
Then you'll know why
The more you live
The faster you will die

Don't turn around, oh oh
Der Kommissar's in town, oh oh

I trust you already knew that Falco originally recorded that, as well - in German, natch. ATF translated it for their cover.

Think I may still have some of his German singles somewhere around here,maybe an album, lost with the rest of my vinyl. Oh, and lucky for us, I like his version much better. After The Fire had broken up by the time their version hit the charts here. But at least Peter Banks brough us the dulcet tones of Gary Numan, who still performs to this day on a limited basis.

Haben Sie gewut, da Falco ein sterreicher ist? Er ist nicht deutsch oder Klingon. Or at least as much as my sucky German speaking skills remember.

Grrr, maybe not

Ich erlernte sehr wenig, das von meiner Großgroßmutter deutsch ist, als ich jung war; Ich erinnere mich nur das an bloßeste Minimum. (translation courtesy Babelfish; extended characters found here.)

IOW, your German's all Greek to me. ;-)

I never actually said I *remembered* how to speak German legibly..... I do much better with "movie German" That is,
English with a heavy accent. Like ziss und zat, etc...

But as far as the failed cut and paste the other evening it's a conspiracy. All I did was cut and paste. LJ gave me an error message telling my I was using illegal characters... grrrr

lets see if it will let me cut and past the comment about your grandmother...

I deleted this post to edit my reply. When I posted it the FIRST time, it handled my cut and paste of Kush's grandmother just fine, with double esses and everything. After I did the editing and attempted to post again, it took out the double esses and gave me this error -

"Bad Unicode Input Your browser sent some text which is not recognised as valid text in the UTF-8 encoding, as it should be. This might happen if you forced your browser to view the previous page in some other encoding rather than UTF-8. It may also indicate a bug in the browser.

I *told* you it was a conspiracy!

And actually, the email copy I got of your deleted reply didn't handle the character properly, either....

*shrug* I give up.
