I'll meet you in West Germany October 1983 I know that freedom was a lie And your husband was a spy You say that words are impotent But they can help us pay the rent I knew for sure there was nothing left Except the vodka on your breath We meet in Strasbourg In Strasbourg Dann sind wir Helden We meet in Strasbourg The courage that your father plucked From inside a cattle truck Will help us fix the exit polls Our children must have rock'n'roll Surveillance cameras captured dawn Breaking on the autobahn I knew for sure our chance was blown When rifles made us feel at home We meet in Strasbourg In Strasbourg Strasbourg Lyrics Dann sind wir Helden We meet in Strasbourg We meet in Strasbourg In Strasbourg Dann sind wir Helden We meet in Strasbourg Eins, zwei, drei, vier Ideas can change the government But they never listen to our arguments On TV our friends smashed cement And pulled down the bastards monuments I went outside for a cigarette I could see things I had tried to forget The news showed us who we had left And I could smell the vodka on your breath

We danced together on the roof at the party, 5 stories removed from the trouble on the street the sun arose revealing goose bumps on your arm A sign that we should move together somewhere warm. Chorus: - we danced together.(repeat...) We moved to the street where they tried to hold curfew and ran among the debris as the bullets flew. Helicopters circled overhead to get a better view We found a doorway, fell in and I held you. Chorus: - we danced together… (repeat...) Chorus extra 1: we didnt have no where to go waiting for the daylight to begin Singer, save our secular souls how can u have hope with no God? extra chorus 2: we didnt give a shit about what they would say... and stayed up until the light turned our world/eyes grey. we caned our money like it was our last day 2 fingers up at those who wont miss us when we pass away

Open Book 3ème single français du groupe "The Rakes". paru sur l album "capture release" sorti en 2005 You are not an open book I can't do nothing 'bout that But I'm worried, I'm overdrawn What am I doing up at the witching hour? Oh-o-oh-o Oh-o-oh-o Oh-o-oh-o Oh-o-oh-o Pick up a book, put down a book Turn on the TV It's 2 AM, there's nothing on I just need something to focus on Oh-o-oh-o Oh-o-oh-o Oh-o-oh-o Oh-o-oh-o Things are going to slide Slide out of control I hope that you come back I can't eat, can't sleep When I close my eyes The thought of you denies Me, the rest, and the air That I need The longer you are far from me The more I drift away I didn't see the warning signs I was falling through the cracks Oh-o-oh-o Oh-o-oh-o Oh-o-oh-o Oh-o-oh-o Oh-o-oh-o Oh-o-oh-o Oh-o-oh-o Oh-o-oh-o You are not An open book I am worn and torn I am overdrawn
