Soldiers on the ground Suffering abound Green gras every now and then Grow and make no sound All is fair in love and war No wrong and no restore Why should someone take the blame? We will be so, so lucky when we see Although we cannot see the meaning All is as soon as possible agreed No thought for those we lost in teaming My mate on the ground Suffering abound Green slimy vomit in my head And all and all and all around It’s not meant to ease your pain It’s much better to burn out Than to slowly fade away We will be so, so happy when we are Indeed we do not need to know the meaning We share the same good work from “Far from far” Let us end the inconvenient bleeding

Runup 03:41
Let’s hit the road babe – doin’ it like we did it before Living on the highway – we do it as we swore Everything’s so easy with you by my side You are my man – let’s pretend Franky and Jeans – they stay in the first row Probably they will – well I know I know I know Nothing for certain but you around You are our men – German gang This is my day… And it may be cold outside And there may be rain tonight Let’s hit the road babe – doin’ it like we did it before Living on the highway – we do it as we swore Everything’s so easy with you on my side You are my man – let’s pretend This is my day N o r b e r t – in every song I hear you’re gone Come on rhythm show me That I am sometimes wrong As long as there is music – you are still around Dear Mr. Kaufmann, notorious friend This is my day… And it may be cold outside And there may be rain tonight This is my day… And it may be cold outside And there may be a storm tonight

Liz Phair 03:10
I wanna be her next boyfriend I will impress her by accident She’ll be in love with me immediately After a while I will feel the same She’s not too high She’s not too low She’s not too fast She’s not too slow You can have my last girlfriend You will impress her by accident She’ll be in love with you immediately After a while you will feel the same I wanna be the next boyfriend of Liz Phair I will impress her anywhere She’ll be in love with me immediately After a while I will feel the same

Sgt Gravy 03:22
Major Seven he saved the world But he never asked for gratitude or praise He led his bunch out of the darkness Into the light of the day How could we ever forget about him and his men No, we will never forget Sergeant Gravy he rode every road Through hailstorms and heavy rain He didn’t care for himself Of death or pain Do you remember when he hovered over the waves Yes, we remember it well Captain Flowy heart of the nation Your well thought plans kept us alive The virtue of your personage Is so unique and ideal Seven days out of sleep And your mind always so bright You averted the danger of a never ending war

Grow 03:19
In the tightness of your arms In the nearness of your charm Whatever you do – it makes me going on In the wideness of your embrace In the sweetness of your face Whatever you do – it makes me going on I know you like to watch things grow It is exuberant – it is our way to go Green grass, kids and our love grow Always beware the mood of an overdose Everybody is doing so – but we’re not everybody The light is out – the moon is on This should have been my song This should have been my life In the tightness of your arms In the nearness of your charm Whatever you do – it makes me going on Once she said you’re losing your charme Does she talk about me or the farm?

Pool Boy 04:55
I don’t really mind to understand I can change myself can you too? Is it a good time now to lend a hand Or should we close our eyes and go through? I won’t cry and I don’t try To make you change your plans I’m well prepared for suffering and pain Is there any reason you can recommend To stand up and walk and live again? You see the shine in every poor day You’ll find a place warm and clean I found myself in the doorway That won’t be the worst place I’ve been Once I’ve been like you I laughed the same There were lotioned breasts, slow music in a band I can’t see it through now I’m daft and lame There’s an ocean vast I’m sea sick where’s the land? Can’t see the light from the light house In the frost I go mad with my tool You see me fight with the snow grouse I’m lost, I’m the lad in my pool
7.
It’s a long long time ago and I do hardly recall I can only speak for myself and I say nothing at all Really nearly everything we did for no or low reason Really nearly everything we did for no or low reason Now I’m searching for someone To love and to understand I can only speak for myself And I say nothing again Could you please let me in for no or low reason Could you please let me in for no or low reason We could drive around maybe to the shore You will show me things I’ve never seen before And you’ll fall in love as hard as you can fall And I won’t get tired of all of this at all You and him and him and her and her and me Everything flows Which side are you on where will you go No one really knows We could rate the whole world for no or low reason We could rate the whole world for no or low reason Let’s take the long way down and look what we see Anything you want will be good enough for me And we don’t care a lot of good or bad season We keep going on for no or low reason
8.
Olivia 03:41
I try to keep my umbrella dry Though I know I’ll be drenched by rain Sometimes it’s hard to decide what to do Good day, try to be like you All that I need is to spend time with you All I want is a fine, fine love Olivia I love ya I try to keep my uneasiness For me and nobody else You will go each way you will go And we will follow and flow All that we need is to spend time with you All we want is a fine, fine love Olivia I love ya It’s a fine, fine love

NY 02:31
NY – you say hello to NY You say hello I say bye – NY All of this fill in a form To be sure you’re the norm You are healthy and good Not that wealthy? You should! You’re not here to take root And what’s your attitude? You say it’s great, not too straight Not too loose, not to hate What you choose is the fate Of a goose which has laid Golden eggs full of luck So you stay, so you stuck Lost in the maze on the scale Of the space. It’s a tale Of a place I don’t know To reface it I go There at least to be near Not to fear for you, dear
10.
Take your time close to mine Please do it a little bit longer For so long I got this dream You know it may take a little bit longer Days pass by, the robot lie Yeah we know, well we go Could you please be patient a little bit longer Better than before if you let me I will show Something that you adore sure you know Breathe and smile it takes a while Take your time close to mine Time will come to enjoy it a little bit longer Days pass by, the robot lie Days pass by, the robot lie I’m focused, I’m focused on you For a long long time
11.
Take my hand Turn the lights from black to blue Give me something to understand And I give something to you After all is said and done There’s still something to say And after you have gone I won’t be afraid And I see Those two big ones called you and me And they throw Those two big shadows on a shadow Kiss my ass Turn the lights from blue to red Ask me anything I’ll say yes I will follow, go ahead After all is said and done There’s still something to say And after you have gone I won’t be afraid
12.
Always kind of busy Driving down the fast lane Flashing and pressing Hastening for the last train Talking and texting and smoking With just one hand Well I’m doing quite fine Thank you much for caring Yes I’m in a good shape I’m pretty self-aware and Sorry I had a situation but now I’m back again And I guess I need a boyfriend to comfort me Well if I had a boy I’d act so perceptively I would give all my love and endearment to him And me Staring out the window Creeping down the slow lane Searching for a nice place Dining in a no name restaurant With a view to the bottomless lake Well I’m doing quite fine Thank you much for caring Yes I’m in a good shape I’m pretty self-aware and Sorry I had a situation but now I’m back again And I’m so lonely I’m so lonely I would give all my love and endearment to him And me (That’s me)

Time Machine 02:06
Would you dare to fly Or are you too afraid of heights You lower your own sights so you can stay Would you care or hide When I would like to take away your bride To make you break out the old Normal course of life Daily grind from nine to five It’s one step for us to Use the time machine So you don’t have to move See the world in dreams That pass by like the love of teens May I remind you of you’ve never been there Maybe I can show you Different times cause you won’t go To different places I don’t know but You just fool yourself Seem to be in a bad health Stay in bed I let you Use the time machine
14.
I wanna be a professional of love And I wanted to see all the beauty And all of the pain You fell in love with the actress Of the film last night And you say hey I’m a prisoner of love The only thing you have to realize one day Is that she doesn’t look ok I want to stay and pretend that I’m away I’m curious to see all the beauties in our brains No one cares you saw her in the film last night When you say hey I’m a prisoner of love The only thing you have to realize one day Is that she will always stay that way
15.
Sunlight 04:20
Stay away from the sunlight Keep your hands off the shade Tonight is the one night No need to be afraid Now won’t you come over I won’t do you no harm We, we don’t go nowhere Me so pale and you so neat and warm Don’t believe in what they say Cause everything they say is just About the past when I was just so Different from today Far, far from the lowlands I can’t go there anymore We don’t need no romance I just wanna be adored
16.
We got friends of our own We don’t need to stay alone We got lovers Some appear on covers Every night Every day and every night And the others People like our brothers Stay beside Waiting there to get a ride We destroy what we found We don’t need to hang around We’re enchanted Gratified and captivated But we don’t care Yes we’re often carried away We are wanted Satisfied but haunted Everywhere We spread with the wind and always stray We are straight we are gay We have fun every day We got lovers Sisters and their brothers Every night Every night and every day And the others Trying to avoid us Stay beside They can’t quiet resist the temptation
17.
Plain Song 03:31
Listen to the sound out of the light Have a look to what happens out of sight Better stay at home and lock the door Don’t open it no more tonight Break the beat to fit it into the song Take a verse, the first that comes along Glue it all together again my friend If the sound is great it can’t be wrong Don’t ask again I’m feeling fine This may be plain but it is mine This wasn’t born to compromise in your eyes Here again the sound of the electric guitar Switch over and use the historic zitar Maybe out of fashion for a while But still it sends a smile on my radar

about

Here it is at last, the long-awaited fourth studio album of the dauntless band, whose melodious name brings to mind the legendary shows at the high security prison in Angola, Louisiana.
For fifteen years now, the five warhorses have been providing the soundtrack to the mangy rodeo of hopeless capital criminals.
After an injury-related break, the tireless high-performance musicians have now recorded a total of seventeen future evergreen classics at one go, which – according to internal guidelines – cannot be played live. The spectrum ranges from melancholic Americana waltzes to exalted rock numbers. There‘s something for every long-term inmate!
