With Stopwatch In Hand

Berlin, 22 September 1916.
On 17 September one of our
submarines sank a fully
loaded enemy troop transport
in the Mediterranean. The
ship went down in 43 seconds.

This is how Death confronts Technology.
Can bravery contribute still to might?
The clock has stopped. The days have turned to night.
0 spare us, god of war, this agony!

That was a sacrifice to the machine
and not to you who hurtled from its hole.
Here stood an instrument without a soul –
your proud accomplice - with victorious mien.

There stands a mortar. He who built that gun
seeks shelter in a trench, a wretched coward.
While giants fall, by midgets overpowered,

The Angels Cried (feat. Alison Krauss)

[ duet with Allison Kraus ]
They came from near they came from far following a distant star to where he lay
Not being sure of what it meant but knowing it was heaven sent they made their way
And the creatures gathered round and didn't make a sound and the angels cried
The angels knew what was to come the reason God had sent his son from up above
It filled their hearts with joy to see and knowing of his destiny came tears of love
And the creatures gathered round and didn't make a sound and the angels cried
[ mandolin - violin ]
I've often thought about that night and wondered if they realized that star so bright
Was sent to tell all the land the son of God would soon become the son of man
And the creatures gathered round and didn't make a sound and the angels cried
And the angels cried and the angels cried

Charisma Kommando

Charisma Kommando
It's the domina's swing
Fr den Fall, da wir uns wieder miversteh'n
Die Direktorin lt niemnaden ohne Strafe gehn
She says: uhrggg!!!
I say: what?
Hear the boys singin': Du denkst nur Du wrest wer, doch -
Hier bist Du niemand mehr
The games of torture, auhh -
It's been the dominas swingin'.
Nacht, lange Nacht -
Mich kein Tremor drngt
Sie ihren direktiven Steilstab - schwenkt
Du denkst nur Du wrest wer, doch -
Hier bist Du niemand mehr
And the boys singin':
Andiamo
Perque non tu ti amo?
Vamos!
Andiamo

Thief Of Hearts

(a. rich, j. friedman, j. kraus, h. hattler)
Producer: trevor horn
Album: wildest dreams (96)
Let me tell you about a man I knew
Yeah, I knew him all too well
My attitude has always been you can have me for tonight
But not for tomorrow
Its gonna cost you plenty, more than you can afford
More than you can borrow
Well I can make them fall in love just as easy as i
Pick their pockets hey
And when Ive done the deed I jump on a freight train
And make my getaway
Im a thief of hearts, a burglar in the night
Before they knew what hit them I was out of sight
Been a thief of hearts, now Im paying for my crimes
Cause now youre gone and stolen mine
I met you on a starry night, full moon in your eyes
Did something strange to me
I was all prepared to spin my web, take you for a ride

Chastity always takes its toll. In some it produces pimples; in others, sex laws.

Sexual enlightenment is justified insofar as girls cannot learn too soon how children do not come into the world.
