American Pie
by Corny Held  
4:33 min.  
(English)
Corny Held and Alruna
Axel Wagner: drums
Michael Hrziwnak: bass

lyrics

A long, long time ago I can still remember how that music Used to make me smile And I knew if I had my chance That I could make those people dance And maybe they'd be happy for a while But February made me shiver With every paper I'd deliver Bad news on the doorstep I couldn't take one more step I can't remember if I cried When I read about his widowed bride But something touched me deep inside The day the music died So, bye-bye, Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee, but the levee was dry And them good ol' boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye Singin', "This'll be the day that I die This'll be the day that I die" Did you write the book of love? And do you have faith in God above If the Bible tells you so? Now, do you believe in rock 'n' roll? Can music save your mortal soul? And can you teach me how to dance real slow? Well, I know that you're in love with him 'Cause I saw you dancin' in the gym You both kicked off your shoes Man, I dig those rhythm and blues I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck With a pink carnation and a pickup truck But I knew I was out of luck The day the music died I started singin' bye-bye, Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee, but the levee was dry Them good ol' boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye And singin', "This'll be the day that I die This'll be the day that I die" Now, for ten years, we've been on our own And moss grows fat on a rollin' stone But that's not how it used to be When the jester sang for the king and queen In a coat he borrowed from James Dean And a voice that came from you and me Oh, and while the king was looking down The jester stole his thorny crown The courtroom was adjourned No verdict was returned And while Lenin read a book on Marx The quartet practiced in the park And we sang dirges in the dark The day the music died We were singin' bye-bye, Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee, but the levee was dry Them good ol' boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye And singin', "This'll be the day that I die This'll be the day that I die"

Farewll Angelina
by Corny Held  
3:06 min.  
(English)
Corny Held

lyrics

Farewell, Angelina The bells of the crown Are being stolen by bandits I must follow the sound The triangle tingles And the trumpets play slow But farewell, Angelina The sky is on fire And I must go There′s no need for anger There's no need for blame There′s nothing to prove Everything's still the same Just a table standing empty By the edge of the sea Means farewell, Angelina The sky is trembling And I must leave The jack and queen Have forsaked the courtyard 52 gypsies Now file past the guards In the space where the deuce And the ace once ran wild Farewell, Angelina The sky is falling I'll see you in a while See the cross-eyed pirates sitting Perched in the sun Shooting tin cans With a sawed-off shotgun And the neighbors, they clap And they cheer with each blast But farewell, Angelina The sky′s changing color And I must leave fast King Kong, little elves On the rooftop they dance Valentino-type tangos While the make-up man′s hands Shut the eyes of the dead Not to embarrass anyone But farewell, Angelina The sky is embarrassed And I must be gone The machine guns are roaring And the puppets heave rocks And fiends nail time bombs To the hands of the clocks Call me any name you like I will never deny it But farewell, Angelina The sky is erupting I must go where it's quiet

lyrics

Strumming my pain with his fingers Singing my life with his words Killing me softly with his song Killing me softly with his song Telling my whole life with his words Killing me softly With his song I heard he sang a good song I heard he had a style And so I came to see him, to listen for a while And there he was, this young boy A stranger to my eyes I felt all flushed with fever Embarrassed by the crowd I felt he found my letters and read each one out loud I prayed that he would finish But he just kept right on He sang as if he knew me In all my dark despair And then he looked right through me as if I wasn′t there And he just kept on singing Singing clear and strong

Slow Rivers
by Corny Held

(English)
Corny Held Duo

lyrics

The weatherman, he looks confused Shakes his fist at the sky, like you used to do But you don′t remember things like that, do you? The balance was uneven, but I'm breaking through Slow rivers run cold Shallow waters never sank so low I thought I′d drown, and you'd never know, you're a Slow river and you run so cold The winter here don′t believe in God The bitter wind just bites through me, like a wild dog I still see your eyes tonight like headlights through the fog But one foot in your door, oh, that′s all I ever got Chances are you′ll reappear Swim my way in a flood of tears No place to hide your conscience, so You're a sinking ship with no place to go

What a difference a day made 24 little hours Brought the sun and the flowers where there used to be rain My yesterday was blue, dear Today I'm a part of you, dear My lonely nights are through, dear Since you said you were mine Wat a difference a day makes There's a rainbow before me Skies above can't be stormy Since that moment of bliss That thrilling kiss It's heaven when you Find romance on your menu What a difference a day made And the difference is you

I can see her lyin' back in her satin dress In a room where you do what you don't confess Sundown, you'd better take care If I find you've been creepin' 'round my back stairs Sundown, you'd better take care If I find you've been creepin' 'round my back stairs She's been lookin' like a queen in a sailor's dream And she don't always say what she really means Sometimes I think it's a shame When I get feelin' better when I'm feelin' no pain Sometimes I think it's a shame When I get feelin' better when I'm feelin' no pain I can picture every move that a man could make Getting lost in her lovin' is your first mistake Sundown, you'd better take care If I find you've been creepin' 'round my back stairs Sometimes I think it's a sin When I feel like I'm winnin' when I'm losin' again I can see her lookin' fast in her faded jeans She's a hard lovin' woman, got me feelin' mean Sometimes I think it's a shame When I get feelin' better when I'm feelin' no pain Sundown, you'd better take care If I'd find you've been creepin' 'round my back stairs Sundown, you'd better take care If I find you've been creepin' 'round my back stairs Sometimes I think it's a sin When I feel like I'm winnin' when I'm losin' again

Martin Wesolowski: bass
Micha El Dilly: e-guitar
Matthias Scheel: backing voc., percussion

lyrics

There are fires burning Everywhere the flames A killing kind of yearning The enemies have no names Everywhere the passions Aren't ruled by reason First comes agression Society's brain is freezing Somebody said war's everywhere Peace is but a lid Over a boiling pot Sometimes you can't cool it Spilling what's too hot Steaming 'round a violence In the air to touch Hatred can't be freedom And both can be too much Somebody said war's everywhere People in the world From so many different parts Got different shapes and colours But the same feelings in their hearts All created equal, Who's superior ? Respect is what you can't steal And what you can't fight for Don't you make war come everywhere Make No more war
