Teho Teardo & Blixa Bargeld - Hey Hey, My My cover Neil Young




Hey Hey My My
Rock and Roll can never die
There's more to the picture
Than meets the eye
Hey Hey My My

My my, hey hey
Rock and roll is here to stay
It's better to burn out
Than to fade away
My my, hey hey

Out of the blue and into the black
They give you this but you pay for that
And once you're gone, you can't come back
When you're out of the blue and into the black

The king is gone but he's not forgotten
(Johnny Rotten, Johnny Rotten)
This is the story of Johnny Rotten
(Johnny Rotten, Rotten Johnny)
It's better to burn out than it is to rust
The king is gone but he's not forgotten

Hey hey, my my
Rock and roll will never die
There's more to the picture
Than meets the eye
Hey hey, my my

Hey hey, my my

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - 'Jesus Alone'



You fell from the sky
Crash landed in a field
Near the river Adur
Flowers spring from the ground
Lambs burst from the wombs of their mothers
In a hole beneath the bridge
She convalesce, she fashioned masks of clay and twigs
You cried beneath the dripping trees
Ghost song lodged in the throat of a mermaid

With my voice
I am calling you

You're a young man waking
Covered in blood that is not yours
You're a woman in a yellow dress
Surrounded by a charm of hummingbirds
You're a young girl full of forbidden energy
Flickering in the gloom
You're a drug addict lying on your back
In a Tijuana hotel room

With my voice
I am calling you
With my voice
I am calling you

You're an African doctor harvesting tear ducts
You believe in God, but you get no special dispensation for this belief now
You're an old man sitting by a fire, hear the mist rolling off the sea
You're a distant memory in the mind of your creator, don't you see?

With my voice
I am calling you
With my voice
I am calling you

Let us sit together until the moment comes

With my voice
I am calling you

Let us sit together in the dark until the moment comes

With my voice
I am calling you
With my voice
I am calling you
With my voice
I am calling you
With my voice
I am calling you

Teho Teardo & Blixa Bargeld - The Beast



This is the beast 
If i close my eyes, the beast will close its eyes 
If I stop swimming, the beast will dive 
We sank a lot of ships together
Now the ocean is empty
But I'll get through

I'll make it for you
I'll make it through
Against the numbers
Against all odds
I will get through

Whatever I'm about 
The beast is on my throat

Even so the beast doesn't mimic me
In it's movements, gestures, speech there is something similar to me

This is the beast 
If I stop dreaming 
It fully wakes the beast
If I stop pushing 
The beast will close the door
And if I would start a fire 
It would bring me giant trees

But I'll get through 
I'll make it
For you
I'll make it through 
Against God
And the statistics 
I will get through 

I don't know if the beast is there
To strangle or to embrace
