Atrocity
Werk 80 II
1. People Are People
[Depeche Mode cover]
People are people, so why should it be
You and I should get along so awfully
People are people, so why should it be
You and I should get along so awfully
So we're different colours, and we're different creeds
And different people have different needs
It's obvious you hate me, though I've done nothing wrong
I've never even met you, so what could I have done?
I can't understand
What makes a man
Hate another man
Help me understand
People are people, so why should it be
You and I should get along so awfully
People are people, so why should it be
You and I should get along so awfully
Now you're punching and you're kicking and you're shouting at me
I'm relying on your common decency
So far it hasn't surfaced, but I'm sure it exists
It just take a while to travel from your head to your fist
I can't understand
What makes a man
Hate another man
Help me understand
People are people, so why should it be
You and I should get along so awfully
People are people, so why should it be
You and I should get along so awfully
I can't understand
What makes a man
Hate another man
Help me understand
I can't understand
What makes a man
Hate another man
Help me understand
I can't understand
What makes a man
Hate another man
Help me understand
I can't understand
What makes a man
Hate another man
Help me understand
I can't understand
What makes a man
Hate another man
Help me understand
I can't understand
What makes a man
Hate another man
Help me understand
2. Smalltown Boy
[Bronski Beat cover]
You leave in the morning
With everything you own
In a little black case
Alone on a platform
The wind and the rain
On a sad and lonely face
Mother will never understand
Why you had to leave
But the answers you seek
Will never be found at home
The love that you need
Will never be found at home
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away.
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away.
Pushed around and kicked around
Always a lonely boy
You were the one
That they'd talk about around town
As they put you down
And as hard as they would try
They'd hurt to make you cry
But you never cried to them
Just to your soul
No you never cried to them
Just to your soul
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away.
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away.
Cry, boy, cry...
You leave in the morning
With everything you own
In a little black case
Alone on a platform
The wind and the rain
On a sad and lonely face
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away.
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away.
3. Relax

Make making it your intention-ooh yeah

4. Don't You
[Simple Minds cover]
Hey, hey, hey ,hey
Oh...
Won't you come see about me?
I'll be alone, dancing you know it baby
Tell me your troubles and doubts
Giving me everything inside and out and
Love's strange so real in the dark
Think of the tender things that we were working on
Slow change may pull us apart
When the light gets into your heart, baby
Don't You Forget About Me
Don't Don't Don't Don't
Don't You Forget About Me
Will you stand above me?
Look my way, never love me
Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling
Down, down, down
Will you recognise me?
Call my name or walk on by
Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling
Down, down, down, down
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Oh...
Don't you try to pretend
It's my feeling we'll win in the end
I won't harm you or touch your defenses
Vanity and security
Don't you forget about me
I'll be alone, dancing you know it baby
Going to take you apart
I'll put us back together at heart, baby
Don't You Forget About Me
Don't Don't Don't Don't
Don't You Forget About Me
As you walk on by
Will you call my name?
As you walk on by
Will you call my name?
When you walk away
Or will you walk away?
Will you walk on by?
Come on ‒ call my name
Will you all my name?
I say:
La la la...
5. The Sun Always Shines On TV
[A-Ha cover]
Touch me
How can it be
Believe me
The sun always shines on t.v.
Hold me
Close to your heart
Touch me
And give all your love to me
To me
I reached inside myself and found
Nothing there to ease the
Pressure of my ever worrying mind
All my powers waste away
I fear the crazed and lonely
Looks the mirror's sending me these days
Touch me
How can it be
Believe me
The sun always shines on t.v.
Hold me
Close to your heart.
Touch me
And give all your love to me.
Please don't ask me to defend
The shameful lowlands of the way I'm drifting
Gloomily through time
I reached inside myself today
Thinking there's got to be some way
To keep my troubles distant.
Touch me
How can it be
Believe me
The sun always shines on t.v.
Hold me
Close to your heart
Touch me
And give all your love to me.
To me.
6. Hey Little Girl
[Icehouse cover]
Hey hey
When everything goes wrong
Sometimes it makes no sense
Hey hey
There once was a time
I should have known better then
Hey hey
Although you may try
It won't come your way again
Hey little girl
Where will you hide
Who can you run to now
Hey little girl
Where will you go
Who can you turn to now
Hey, hey
So why should I care
If somebody let you down
Hey hey
That's nothing new
I know just what that can mean
Hey hey
Well the way that they talk
The talk is all over town
Hey hey
And it's no surprise
Little girls hurt sometimes
Hey little girl
Where will you hide
Who can you run to now
Hey little girl
Where will you go
Who can you turn to now
Hey hey
When everything goes wrong
Sometimes it makes no sense
Hey hey
Hey little girl
I should have known better
Known better then
Hey hey
Hey little girl
Where will you hide
Who can you run to now
Hey little girl
Where will you hide
Who can you run to now
Hey little girl
Where will you go
Who can you turn to now
7. Fade To Grey
[Visage cover]
Devenir gris
Devenir gris
One man on a lonely platform
One case sitting by his side
Two eyes staring cold and silent
Show fear as he turns to hide
Ah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Ah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Un homme dans une gare isolée
Une valise a ses cotés
Des yeux fixes et froids
Montre de la peur lorsqu'il
Se tourne pour se cacher
Ah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Ah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Sent la pluie comme un été Anglais
Entends les notes d'une chanson lointaine
Sortant de derriere d'un poster
Espérant que la vie ne fut aussi longue
Ah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Ah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Feel the rain like an English summer
Hear the notes from a distant song
Stepping out from a back shop poster
Wishing life wouldn't be so long
Devenir gris
Ah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Ah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Ah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Devenir gris
Ah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Devenir gris
Ah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Ah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Devenir gris
Ah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Ah, we fade to grey (fade to grey
8. Such A Shame
[Talk Talk cover]
Such a shame to believe in escape
'A life on every face'
And that's a change
Till I'm finally left with an eight
Tell me to relax, I just stare
Maybe I don't know if I should change
A feeling that we share
It's a shame
Such a shame
Number me with rage
It's a shame
Such a shame
Number me in haste
Such a shame
This eagerness to change
It's a shame
The dice decide my fate
And that's a shame
In these trembling hands my faith
Tells me to react, 'I don't care'
Maybe it's unkind that I should change
A feeling that we share
It's a shame
Such a shame
Number me with rage
It's a shame
Such a shame
Number me in haste
Such a shame
This eagerness to change
Such a shame
Tell me to relax, I just stare
Maybe I don't know if I should change
A feeling that we share
It's a shame
Such a shame
Number me with rage
It's a shame
Such a shame
Number me in haste
It's a shame
Such a shame
Write it across my name
It's a shame
Such a shame
Number me in haste
Such a shame
This eagerness to change
Such a shame
9. Keine Heimat
[Ideal cover]
Züge verhärmt, ungesund, traurig uniform
Zähne knirschen durch die Luft
Irgendwer um Hilfe ruft, das Gehört ausgehängt
Der Schere im Kopf den Schneid geschenkt
Die Seele verhökert
Alles sinnentleert
Keine innere Heimat, keine Heimat mehr
Banker schichten schweißgebadet Geld
Freiheit, die nichts mehr zählt, falschem Traum vertraut
Scheine bewacht, Herzinfarkt
Auf Körpern übernachtet und versagt, ausgelaugt
Blick zum Boden, kein Kontakt
Die Schwächsten abgehakt, mit sich selbst unversöhnt,
Sich um Asyl gebeten, abgelehnt
Die Seele verhökert
Alles sinnentleert
Keine innere Heimat, keine Heimat mehr
Überreiztes Geschrei nach neuer Moral
Jagd nach Sensationen
Jeder Preis wird bezahlt
Jeder gegen jeden
Hauptsache es knallt
Die Seele verhökert
Alles sinnentleert
Keine innere Heimat, keine Heimat mehr
10. Here Comes The Rain Again
[Eurythimics cover]
Here comes the rain again
Falling on my head like a memory
Falling on my head like a new emotion
I want to walk in the open wind
I want to talk like lovers do
I want to dive into your ocean
Is it raining with you
So baby talk to me
Like lovers do
Walk with me
Like lovers do
Talk to me
Like lovers do
Here comes the rain again
Raining in my head like a tragedy
Tearing me apart like a new emotion
Oooooh
I want to breathe in the open wind
I want to kiss like lovers do
I want to dive into your ocean
Is it raining with you
So baby talk to me
Like lovers do
Walk with me
Like lovers do
Talk to me
Like lovers do
Here comes the rain again
Falling on my head like a memory
Falling on my head like a new emotion
(here it comes again, here it comes again)
I want to walk in the open wind
I want to talk like lovers do
I want dive into your ocean
Is it raining with you
11. Forever Young
[Alphaville cover]
Let's dance in style, let's dance for a while
Heaven can wait we're only watching the skies
Hoping for the best, but expecting the worst
Are you going to drop the bomb or not?
Let us die young or let us live forever.
We don't have the power but we never say never.
Sitting in a sandpit, life is a short trip
The musics for the sad men.
Can you imagine when this race is won?
Turn our golden faces into the sun.
Praising our leaders were getting in tune.
The musics played by the madmen.
Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever and ever
Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever and ever
Some are like water, some are like the heat
Some are a melody and some are the beat
Sooner or later they all will be gone
Why don't they stay young
It's so hard to get old without a cause
I don't want to perish like a fading horse
Youth is like diamonds in the sun
And diamonds are forever
So many adventures couldn't happen today
So many songs we forgot to play
So many dreams are swinging out of the blue
We let them come true
12. Feels Like Heaven
[Bonus track]
[Fiction Factory cover]
Heaven is closer now today
The sound is in my ears
I can't believe the things you say
They echo what I fear
Twisting the bones until they snap
I scream but no one knows
You say I'm familiar cold to touch
And then you turn and go
Feels like heaven...
See how we planned for saddened eyes
And tears to pave the way
I fought the fever as I knew
My hair returned to grey
Study your face and fade the frame
Too close for comfort now
We can recall the harmony
That lingered but turned sour
Feels like heaven...
You wanted all I had to give
See me I feel, see me I live
13. Das letzte mal
[Deluxe Edition bonus track]
14. Die Deutschmaschine
[Deluxe Edition bonus track]
[Originally performed by And One]
Aus dem Tal der Vergangenheit
Vergessen, doch stets bereit
Kam sie, um sich zu feiern
Bis in alle Ewigkeit
Sie glänzt so wunderbar
Macht Deine Träume wahr
Sie singt und tanzt und lacht
Denn Du gibst ihr neue Macht
Die Zukunft kauft sie sich
Dafür verkauft sie Dich
So stolz doch winzig klein
Sie muss was Deutsches sein
Die Deutschmaschine lebt
Die Deutschmaschine lebt
Die Deutschmaschine lebt
Die Deutschmaschine lebt
Maschinen dieser Welt
Bekämpft den falschen Helden
Ob Kreml oder Weisses Haus
Zieht uns den Stecker raus
Die Deutschmaschine lebt...
