Adi Blättler isch nid min sound obwohl ich ja dieä 80iger jahr als jungedlicher musigverruckter miterlebt han.... ultravoz zu vienna-ziit hani aber cool gfunde.. will ja - da häts no gitarre drinne im elekronischen wave-sound - innere turnhalle im ne kaff (weiss nümä wo) hani sie live geh - geils konzert isch das gsi. bi blackbook dänki a vergangni ziitä wo i die zwei musiker han dörfe erlebe zrugg - unvergässä👍🏻🙋🏼‍♂️🎩

ja_kub_sz If 90s Depeche Mode (music) and Fischerspooner (vocals) had a modern day love child it would be Blackbook. Anyone who enjoys either of those two bands music will not be disappointed... Sprinkle in some synthy KMFDM'esque beats and edge (Julius Caesar)

You’re not allowed to love me You’re not allowed to care There’s something about me I’m not allowed to share You’ll be doing time If you cross that line Love is a crime Love is a crime Love is a crime And the sentence is a broken heart Your heart is a prison But my mind is a cage We make our own decisions We choose our mistakes You get down with the beat Or get down on your knees Love is a crime Love is a crime Love is a crime And the sentence is a broken heart Guilty – not guilty – guilty – not guilty - guilty Love is a crime Love is a crime Love is a crime And the sentence is a broken heart

Nobody Home 03:52
This used to be a busy street Where freaks like you and I would meet This is where I saw you first On the corner of a different world But now I find - there’s nobody home In your eyes - there’s nobody home A paradise of steel and stone I used to live here But now there’s nobody home This used to be the part of town Where kids would come to hear the sound No one cared to know your name No one cared until I came But now I find - there’s nobody home In your eyes - there’s nobody home A paradise of steel and stone I used to live here But now there’s nobody home

Minefield 03:04
Let me check your pulse For signs of life Let me hear you whisper You’re alright Let me see your face Don’t be scared Let me touch the traces Of your despair Minefield Life is a minefield Let me watch your step And be your guide Let me see your darkness Black on white Let me hear your voice Repeat my name Let me make the choices And take the blame Minefield Life is a minefield If life is a minefield Let love be your shield If love is a minefield Let me be your shield Minefield Life is a minefield

I get up every day At someone else’s time I go out of my way For someone else’s lies And I work, and I pray For someone else’s dream Then I lay down my pay At someone else’s feet But come Saturday night I dance alone The floor belongs to me I dance alone Don’t try your moves on me I dance alone Every girl that I meet Says I should spend some time Every boy that I see Thinks I should share my mind Every day of the week Somebody takes my part Every night in the street Somebody breaks my heart Except Saturday night I dance alone The floor belongs to me I dance alone Don’t try your moves on me I dance alone I dance alone This floor belongs to me I dance alone Don’t try your moves on me I dance alone I dance alone The floor belongs to me I dance alone There’s nothing here to see Leave me alone I dance alone

Everything’s changing Nothing can last Everyone’s moving Moving too fast Bridges are burning Blue skies turn grey Tables are turning But I can’t relate This is not my world anymore This is not my world anymore I can’t keep up with the times anymore This is not my world anymore Heaven is empty Love is forlorn Science is holy And people are torn Follow the money The art of the deal Swallow the honey And nothing is real This is not my world anymore This is not my world anymore I can’t keep up with the times anymore This not my world anymore This is not my world anymore This is not my world anymore I just don’t open my eyes anymore This not my world anymore

You’re my favorite enemy You pull my leg You twist my arm You force my hand You cast your charm on me You’re my favorite enemy You’re my darkest memory You stole my heart You broke my spine You made it hard You took your time with me You’re my favorite enemy You’re my darkest memory Do you remember? Do you remember? Do you remember? Do you remember? You wreck my home You paint it black You turn me on and on Then turn your back on me You’re my favorite enemy You’re my darkest memory You’re my favorite enemy You’re my darkest memory You’re my favorite enemy - don’t turn your back on me You’re my darkest memory - don’t turn your back on me

Lab Rats 02:58
Work Eat Sleep Repeat We are lab rats We work ‘round the clock Faster and faster We run ‘til we drop Lab rats We don’t criticize Follow the master With fear in our eyes We don’t have a name We don’t have a face We just get a number And stick to our place And then we work and eat and sleep - repeat We work and eat and sleep - repeat Consume and drink and screw Just wasting our minds - until we die Lab rats Asleep in a cage Take the rejection And smother the rage Lab rats Surrender your will Take the injection Or swallow the pill We don’t have a name We don’t have a face We just get a number And run through the maze And then we work and eat and sleep - repeat We work and eat and sleep and start again Consume and drink and screw Just wasting our time - until we die Obey Obey

Do me a favor Avert your eyes No rash behavior No more lies I never meant for this to happen And you never asked for this Please Don’t throw your arms around me Don’t throw your arms around me Throw your arms around the world So full of mercy Amazing grace Too much of everything It’s too late I never told you I was sorry So don’t apologize Please Don’t throw your arms around me Don’t throw your arms around me Throw your arms around the world How could I save you If I can’t even help myself? Don’t throw your arms around me Throw your arms around the world Don’t throw your arms around me Don’t throw your arms around me Throw your arms around the world Throw your arms around the world

Slowlove 03:38
I remember the future All of the places I’ll see I remember the faces All of the strangers I’ll meet Follow me down to the river And float down the stream Follow me down to forever All the time we need Let’s take it slow - love One kiss at a time - love Move to the rhythm of slowlove Wake up to my kind of Love in slow-motion I remember the ocean I remember the sea I recall the commotion Somebody spoke in a dream: Follow me down to the river Jump in the stream Follow me down to forever All the time that we need Let’s take it slow - love One kiss at a time - love Move to the rhythm of slowlove Wake up to my kind of Love in slow-motion Let’s take it slow One kiss at a time Move to the rhythm of slowlove Wake up to my kind Love in slow-motion

Here in the future We are the underground Hiding in corners Waiting for luck to turn around Then we sacrifice our innocence In a moment of despair Emergency Emergency Emergency love When Romeo’s bleeding Julia knows her fate The tide is receding And this is the one thing that remains A second of oblivion And an antidote to shame Emergency Emergency Emergency love Reanimate Reactivate Rejuvenate Me Reanimate Reactivate Rejuvenate Me Emergency Emergency Emergency love

Tell me - what you want me to do Exactly - how you want me to do it Use me – You’ve got nothing to lose I’ll do it – I’ll do it for you I’ll please you – I’ll get down on my knees Release you – if you want to be free I’ll hear you – if you want to be hurt Oh I’ll do it – I’ll do it to you Julius Caesar died on his birthday Julius Caesar died on his birthday Julius Caesar died on his birthday Julius Caesar, Julius Caesar Tell me – what you want me to say Precisely – how you want me to play it Chain me – if you want me to stay Oh I’ll be there – I’ll be there for you Deny me – if you want me to suffer Try me – if you want to discover Tease me - if you want to be cruel Oh I’ll be there – I’ll be here for you Julius Caesar died on his birthday Julius Caesar died on his birthday Julius Caesar died on his birthday Julius Caesar, Julius Caesar Julius Caesar, Julius Caesar
