Slap! (1990) 01-Ulrike You sometimes wonder and you sometimes wonder;
ten thousand Deutschmarks to hand me over. O you sometimes wonder and you
sometimes wonder - You can make a living "sometimes wondering". Don't think these bones can be sold when I'm
long gone; Don't think that I should want to sell my soul for the Sundays. Don't
wait for me to say I'm sorry - I won't! Who wants to be a Green MP? I don't! You sometimes wonder and you sometimes
wonder; ten thousand Deutschmarks to hand me over. O you sometimes wonder and
you sometimes wonder - You can make a living "sometimes wondering". Don't think I walked into banks to stand in
the queue; Don't think I pressed up to the plexiglass just to talk to you. Don't
wait for me to say I'm sorry - I won't! Who wants to be a Green MP? I don't! You sometimes wonder and you sometimes
wonder; ten thousand Deutschmarks to hand me over. O you sometimes wonder and
you sometimes wonder - You can make a living "sometimes wondering". 02-Tiananmen
Square Heads bowed, eyes down, here comes the enemy To
hail the people's victory - which people? What victory? It's the People's Army
that murdered the people. They've come to glue the shattered, battered statue
in the square. Heads bowed, eyes down,
here comes the enemy - With a haircut and a trigger-finger that could be me. Tanks
tearing a hole in the silence I've got armour-piercing rockets in my pocket:
watch out! You must've seen it: the boy
in the white shirt. You want to fight? Yeah, you and whose army? The people is
bigger than the People's Army; My dad is bigger than your dad - and one day,
one day ... Raw and angry in front of
the enemy: So it's turn back or kill: boy versus tank. You want a fight? Yeah,
you and whose army? Here soldier, have a watermelon - this'll cool you down! 03-Cartrouble
Big tall courthouse, a clock
upon the wall. A hammer on the table and a copper on the door, A judge in the
front and a jury at the side A judge in the front and a jury at the side A
judge in the front and a jury at the side And a bible on the stand to say I
won't tell lies ... Well it's one
o'clock, two o'clock, any old o'clock Between the rock & roll devil and the
fear of God. Big brotherly love runs shallow as skin in the deep south of
America. "Can the lady take the stand
now? Blah blah blah - And how comes a black woman drives her own car? And what
gives you the constitutional right And what gives you the constitutional right And
what gives you the constitutional right To drive a car through a junction on a
red stop light?" Well it's one
o'clock, two o'clock, any old o'clock Between the rock & roll devil and the
fear of God. Big brotherly love runs shallow as skin in the deep south of
Yorkshire. Well of course I drove the
car through the red stop light - But well, I thought that law was just for
whites! I say, "I saw the white folks drive through on green I say,
"I saw the white folks drive through on green I say, "I saw the white
folks drive through on green So when the red light flashed I thought: this must
be for me!" Well it's one o'clock,
two o'clock, any old o'clock - Just a fear of the people with a fear of God. Lancashire
white girl tries to sing the blues: well I woke up this morning like I usually
do. 04-Chase
PC's Flee Attack By Own Dog Got
my photograph taken with Elvis. Circled round the earth in a rocket ship; Found
the World Cup in a garden. I must've saved a million drowning babies ... You can imagine what a come-down: Drug-busts
and house fires. I didn't orbit the earth to be bossed around By someone
wearing flares! I ain't nothing I ain't
nothing I ain't nothing but a hound dog ... I ain't nothing I ain't nothing I ain't nothing but a hound dog ... I ain't nothing I ain't nothing I ain't
nothing ... 05-Rubens Has Been Shot! O x(Christ)mas tree, O x(Christ)mas tree: how
bent your branches seem to be! 1921 and all's well. Another fifteen years and
we'll be laughing in hell. One bullet
straight through the heart; Rubens caught a ricochet, Durer's lady cried today.
Cracked old masters up against the wall - Blue faced Wendy Woolworth: she's
seen it all. Housepainter, housepainter,
Hanging your swastika wallpaper. Rows of pretty cabbageheads to gobble up your
words, Laughing along to your blah, blah, blah. 06-Rappoport's
Testament: I Never Gave Up And if you survive me, I Never gave up Tell
them this: I Never gave up And if you survive me, I Never gave up Tell them
this: Almost as if I were planning
ahead, I drank, I ate, I made love. I learnt to snatch whatever I could; I
never asked for pity and I never gave up. And if you survive me, I Never gave up Tell them this: I Never gave up And
if you survive me, I Never gave up Tell them this: Twenty months I kept accounts, And in the end
they'll balance out. Sometimes I vomit happy memories - Sometimes I laugh out
loud just to crack my face. And if you
survive me, I Never gave up Tell them this: I Never gave up And if you survive
me, I Never gave up Tell them this: And
if I meet Hitler in the other place I'll spit this precious soup in his face. And
all my accounts will be settled, you see: 'Cause Hitler never ever got the
better of me. And if you survive me, I
Never gave up Tell them this: I Never gave up And if you survive me, I Never
gave up Tell them this: I never gave up
- I never gave up. I crawled in the mud but I never gave up (repeat) 07-Slap!
Fleet Street fell in love - But the girl
proved hard to get. Slap! Took a seat at the Old Boy's Club, But wouldn't share
the bed. Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap!
Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap! Cuppas for the troops; Slap! Bubbly-gum and wire. Slap! Trojan horses,
Black & Tans: Slap! They're running for their lives! Slap! Slap! Slap!
Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap!
Slap! Slap! Slap! Royals came to call. Slap!
"Mr Paisley - save her soul!" Slap! Heaven: here's the naughty girl Slap!
Who wouldn't say her prayers. Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap!
Slap! Bloody Monday morning: Slap! The
rat who did the talking. Slap! Here's Ginger to the rescue - Slap! Take that!
And that! Slap! Take that! And that! Slap!
Take that! And that! Slap! Take that! And that! Slap! Take that! And that! Slap! 08-That's
How Grateful We Are OK, lay some drums on me Gimme some bass Working in a forge, black lungs, burnt skin, Callouses,
arched back; hammering, hammering. Stalin watching over us: Pigeonshithead. We'd
spit on the floor at this redbastard God. That's how grateful we are! That's how grateful we are! That's how
grateful we are! That's how grateful we are! That's how grateful we are! That's how grateful we are! That's how
grateful we are! That's how grateful we are! Bronze statue, pink marble - built to last ... We brought him to his
knees in a single night. And the boots that remained, I attacked, I attacked - Hammering,
hammering: the past is past. That's how
grateful we are! That's how grateful we are! That's how grateful we are! That's
how grateful we are! That's how grateful
we are! That's how grateful we are! That's how grateful we are! That's how
grateful we are! And the noise rang out:
metal on metal. Pigeons flit, dust settled. Out from the shadows we took to the
streets - David chopping at the giant's feet. That's how grateful we are! That's how grateful we are! That's how
grateful we are! That's how grateful we are! That's how grateful we are! That's how grateful we are! That's how
grateful we are! That's how grateful we are! Take it right down You still want
to come? Too late, too late ... We're cut and we're fallen like harvested
wheat. But we lived on our feet, at least, at last! And we will live on our
feet, at least, at last. That's how
grateful we are! That's how grateful we are! That's how grateful we are! That's
how grateful we are! That's how grateful
we are! That's how grateful we are! That's how grateful we are! That's how
grateful we are! You still want to come?
Too late, too late ... We're cut and we're fallen like harvested wheat. But we
lived on our feet, at least, at last! And we will live on our feet, at least,
at last. That's how grateful we are! (repeat) 09-Meinhof
