      1. NOW YOUR TALE IS TOLD

        Now all is done
        and they've come
        to lead you on
        show you the way
        where before you
        a soldier awaiting
        The face unfamiliar
        the shots unknowing

        Your eyes now seeking
        the one face, the one chance
        Hope gone to dust
        all in cool denial
        Cold shoulder
        and eyes firmly shut

        Beg for reason
        and mercy perchance
        But in vain - too late
        Now your tale is told

        They came
        they said: "this way"

        In seconds brief
        very skilfully
        chilling the shame

        No error
        No failing
        No mistake

        (1986)

      2. WIR SIND EIN FEHLER
        (We are a fault)

        Wir sind ein Fehler
        Tag ein tag aus fuhren mich
        immer neue (unbekannte) Amateure
        in die Vergangenheit
        in die Venen, in Ohnmacht und Unordnung
        In die Masse und das Hirn
        ohne Zeugen und ohne Papiere

        Wir sind ein Fehler
        Und wir sind entfernt voneinander
        (Vielleicht zweihundert bis dreihundert Meter)

        Aber trotzdem gedenke ich eine
        SCHleuder zu besteln
        Mit ihr zu SCHießen
        Auf den Kopf, das Hirn, die Lungen, die Lebes

        Und noch SCHlimmer
        Dich zu verlassen
        auf vierzig Meilen
        bis zum ersten, zum dritten, zum funften neuen Tag,
        Stadt,
        Ohne Wasser und ohne Brot
        Ohne beendeter GrundSCHule
        mit vielen harten Worten
        dem Jungen und beSCHissenen

        (1986)

      3. HAPPY FAMILY

        Hold that runner
        He draws a suspicious load
        carrying bursting balls
        in his saddle bags

        Hold his silly wife
        she is not what she used to be
        She's holding plastic knives
        storming around, hunting down

        They have a sonny boy
        Who has a faulty brain
        Who has bursting balls
        He started off with plastic knives

        Sonny operates in company
        They started in their
        neighbourhood
        They saw the world running low
        Running low of fear now

        (1986)

      4. WOODEN LEG

        Caught your eye with my wooden leg
        You pledged your life to understand
        but could you ever?
        Silent horror grips me
        As I make a stand
        with ankles in line
        with one base of wood
        This the limit of my powers
        This the frame that I once was
        a hollow void now clear to all
        of my own device
        with my wooden leg

        (1984)

      5. * * *

        It's midnight,
        there is no place for me to go
        Except to be on your trail
        Quiet is the street, maybe you're not afraid
        Being under favour of the law
        Everybody takes your side
        But you inevitably know I'm a dog
        Not willing to give up any useful matter
        I wait only for you to make a false step

        (1987)

      6. VAGABONDS (MP3)

        A new day clears the mist
        Rest at last
        You are dead, battered
        I am
        sorrowful, empty
        THE CANTONAL WAR GOES ON

        Another two, three, five
        Passed us by
        Screaming with hunters greed
        Remember
        He'd only heard that scream once before
        The day they'd sent him down
        (on assignment)

        He shivered, hidden behind the door heavy and still
        They came in couples as usual
        half naked, masked, bruised, ready.
        The sweat chased colours down his face

        YET

        He didn't fear them then
        He was young, confident, defiant
        Carried away, full of action

        NOW all this is wearing us out, eating us
        We'd hoped for strength in our lives,
        to live human
        In line
        In war
        We thought:
        when that day comes
        when our goal is reached
        we'll rest
        change our lives
        see the other free corners

        BUT NOW
        for too long, this has been going on
        BUT NOW
        far too long, no one is dying
        BUT NOW
        far too long, we are living

        LIKE VAGABONDS

        (1988)

      7. CHANGE

        Baying cur - gorging dung
        Prick up your ears - a change will come
        Hunting season - opening hour
        Ram it up yours - hats off mister
        Stalin croaks - and then Hoxha
        Never more - hats off mister

        You are on my mind - the cold gun in hand
        The winding road - uncovered by night
        The southern boroughs - the dead zone
        A fair & easy game - up on the balcony

        Making your way - whisper my name
        Find some courage - and hold me close
        A slice of your pecker
        Wrapped in a daily
        Adorned with flowers
        Make a loved one happy

        (1986)

        (Back to TOP)


      8. NEVER LET ME FORGET

        We've learnt to forget so easily
        Like never before, like never before
        (and) You
        take me to the fields
        remove me with one shot
        don't let me forget
        Kill me and never
        never let me forget
        that it's HE
        that he's GOD
        that he's WILL
        that he's POWER
        that he's ONE
        that he's POWER
        that he's WILL
        that he's PRAYER

        that I desire him
        that I want him
        that I give him all I can
        that the LAND IS STRONG
        that our love for him is eternal

        (1988)

      9. FAREWELL (MP3)

        Early in the morning, I hit the old road
        It's you and only you I long to see
        my God
        Then the memories come flooding in
        in you & me and how it should have been

        Early morning, so won't you spare me
        the proletarian song
        Spare me the chance that I may see the
        sheltered sky, painted blue

        We'll always be together

        We'll be together when they impale us

        When they cram us, when they spill us,

        When we're no more - disappeared

        And then, I know, you'll give me all
        your love
        And then, you'll give it all

        Early morning, I hit the old road
        It's you and only you I long to see
        My Lord

        Your great idea will come true
        there's simply nothing anyone can do

        Farewell

        (1988)

      10. MASTER

        Let me tell you of my master
        He is everything to me
        He's always been the same
        He's (always) been everything

        Don't lie to your master
        He is everything to you
        He gives you all you need
        He's always been everything

        Give your hand to the master
        You are everything to him
        He offers You for freedom
        You are everything to him

        (1988)

        (Back to TOP)


      11. OUR PARTY

        The ruling party - looks after us
        The ruling party - eulogies
        OUR PARTY
        - the only one

        The ruling party - the purest soul
        The ruling party - the radiant mind
        OUR PARTY
        - eternal

        But I
        I wouldn't run, not in the worst of times
        I stood waiting, awaiting,
        believing
        Thinking,
        I'll defend myself
        for
        I was not her only child

        in yellow

        in blue

        in black

        OUR PARTY

      12. THE DAY WHEN I WAS BORN (MP3)

        With evil faces
        Special forces
        they came to destroy us
        Strange race, evil race
        They had the sign
        The sign of crime

        Their leader
        was a beauty
        She had the sign
        The sign of crime

        She was the leader
        Brutal treatment
        She died
        45

        She spoke:
        We are the race
        The white race
        Crowned race

        We have to die
        for our master
        for our strife
        For triumph

        First fight
        First ride
        First shot
        She died

        She was the queen
        Bad seed
        She was burnt
        At the stake

        It was a happy day
        in the life of the world

        That's the day

        WHEN I WAS BORN

        IN THE SHADOW

        People

        IN THE SHADOW

        Victory and worry

        IN THE SHADOW

        you and I

        Faith and anger

        and

        Law

      14. BOSNIA

        I hate you
        your marriage
        your darkness
        your hungry children
        your way, that way
        The Bosnian way
        the fall, the fall, the end
        (I feel that end)
        People, woman, birds
        aren't like they used to be
        those people, those woman
        children, brothers
        Brothers
        your sign, your dream,
        your day

        FUCK YOUR DAY

      15. SHABAN DELMAS

        I've known you for sometime now sir
        And it's not easy
        And I'm not sorry
        Sometimes I can remember how
        upon our father's shoulders
        we used to see you
        In your black cars
        In the days of fallies and fireworks
        Those were the days
        Then - I could easily cry
        And now (still)
        when a match is on
        Something grips me
        And brings back those days (times)
        collective SCH
        General (public) daze (drunkenness)
        And I say Onward you blues

        Hell!
        I never liked you
        Never had anything in common with you
        You were never my brother
        And that's why

        Hitler will rot
        I will rot
        Stalin will rot
        You will rot
        The bitch will rot
        And so will the ass
        Shaban will rot

      16. * * *

        The space around us closing in

        Drawing us together

        Slowly I turned around

        Pulled out my device

        And you were no more

      17. THE LAST (PHALLUS DEI)

        Our fires will burn brighter
        the dawn

        Our children will sing louder
        today

        Our youth will gift itself
        tonight

        Phallus Dei

        One day (once)
        I will blow out that flame

        Some other time
        I'll listen to a much clearer silence

        For the last time
        Our youth will give itself.

        Phallus Dei

      18. WE'VE SEEN IT ALL

        The last of summer - now sadness looms
        The shorter days foretell the doom
        Sarajevo a sinking town
        Dull & sepia, autumn bound

        Mock punctuality hails the train
        Herds of students flocking in
        Garments reek of Sunday best
        Ruffians follow in their steps

        With them the fabrics of their ways
        The stench and dirt that marked their days
        Layers of a canker world
        Glory to the provincial strain

        Close and distant cousins gross
        this very being they propose
        with perfect reasons they suppose
        they'll claim the town for their own

        Soon over her preamble word
        she almost gets the biggest O
        Idioms close to idiocy
        Bring her close to ecstasy

        The hall resounding with applause
        the legs too weak to keep the pose
        Bending over, bowing down
        she says: Come on, y'all, fuck me now!

        Her sycophantic words insulting
        Her every move vulgar, affronting
        the twisted painted face revolting
        Nausea her very essence

        Ugly pictures on the screen
        the dullest grey domineering
        Your bovine face the stimulation
        drawing sickening fascination

        ref.
        But we've seen it, seen it, seen it all
        Your mean aims and servile ways
        Sussed you out right from day one
        Piss off to where you once belonged

        CATTLE BREEDING IS YOUR
        BUSINESS
        THAT'S THE BEST FOR BOTH SIDES

        (1985)

      19. FALL DOWN - GET UP

        A long time already disorder
        has been devouring my dreams, hopes
        Any time I cast a glance
        At small groups of the headless
        Playing a game of survival

        Fall down - get up

        Somebody says it's revolution
        Oh God, it isn't revolution, chaos it is
        Chaos that divides us (from anger)
        Chaos that establishes us, makes malicious
        Out of spite toward fear

        It really seems to me now
        Soon we'll all die together
        Bearing a huge stone in our entrails
        Too, too early, even before
        We succeeded to make progress and greet
        The genesis of civilisation

        Quite possibly our question could be then
        Why must just my birth fill the hole of
        the universe
        On the filthy day
        Of the filthy time of our savagery
        Our barbarity

        (1990)

      20. * * *

        For a destroyed dream
        For a blink of (my) eye
        I'm ready to do my worst
        to you and yours

        Aware of that
        You keep me in sight
        so rude, a bore
        You can't discern the detail

        OK
        I know you didn't forget me
        I see, I'm loosing you
        you hate me, circle around me
        stab me in the back
        You'd like to play
        to be happy
        Alone, of course (that just isn't done)

        Neither did I
        Get used to play (fool) with people
        playing with games
        playing with money
        playing with people
        games
        heads
        and
        money

      21. * * *

        Everything was quite in order
        The day we had met each other again
        We caressed, made love
        Wandered (together)
        Through the depths of our souls
        So serious when we suffered
        From our little enchantments
        So frivolous when we thought
        About ourselves
        About new conditions
        Then, suddenly
        He came
        Mastered our souls
        Shitted on our lives
        Disgusted our sea to us
        And disappeared

        We stayed on insulted, pissed off
        Without hope in better life to come

      22. OUR SONG

        I'll get bad boys together
        we'll form a party
        So powerful as an army
        To abolish the anarchy

        Raising barricades in the bush
        The long siege we'll push
        Our allies will be found
        To beat the enemy all around

        The state of war we'll introduce
        the reign of terror and fear we'll produce
        Razzias frequent we'll make
        Only for the nation's sake

        Our flags will flutter high
        Our songs will echo in distant cry
        On the wings of victory we'll fly
        Flame will burn to the sky

      23. * * *

        Actually
        I never did love you,
        my darling
        (I never felt you)
        The feeling is alien to me.
        Same as it ever was
        I would wonder, how foolish it would be
        not to have you, to lose you, tear it all up
        (and simply forget you)

        But if l'll deal with life,
        then I can't (and won't) destroy
        even one illusion you held of us, and of others
        nor trade it for minute oblivion
        (we've learnt to forget so readily)
        or some wretched delusion
        (the lure of the rat race)
        I can't, because I won't, because I prize you
        Your every sigh, and every quiver

        But how faint & distant the mode
        Impossible, quite improbable
        In the harsh times we now lodge
        Our stately days, our lame emotions
        You made a sad and homely image
        with the insight I acquired, a knowledge not
        desired
        how you ushered in all those mean things

        The world could never have claimed me
        or affront my very being with this material
        quest

        And here I am
        Still in my soulless coffin (box)
        Audible the unreal voices
        of the boys and girls next door
        each a tiny little pecker head
        who vill make tomorrow's dead
        (as some would say: fresh kids) (I say: fuck it)
        And I couldn't give a toss
        I am the wanted face
        I know, life brings out the selfishness and choler
        in each and everyone
        Mine will bring me no real joy
        or inspire any loathing
        I'll simply shun the long embrace
        I don't want to lose my head
        NEIN

      24. LETTER

        Your life is something different
        you don't know what will happen
        We do
        We were in the water
        The water is cold
        We were in the fire
        The fire is hot
        Not pleasant (it's unpleasant)
        Who knows who will survive
        Yet I tell you
        Water is cold
        Fire is hot
        It is so hard, almost unbearable
        And still here we are
        But we are steadily going out
        It is time for the others to taste this
        fuckin' trial
        We paid for our sins
        forgetting who we are and
        with whom we are

      25. FAITH

        I am in you
        your sin
        I am your sin
        Your hand and your brain
        Raise your hand
        Show me the way
        I shall go your way
        the way that I'm ordered to go
        I'm not afraid of you, because you are
        a sinner
        And I'm your sin
        You shall be burning
        Raise your hand
        You shall be burning
        Raise your hand
        because you are mine
        Don't be afraid
        You certainly know
        It only takes one signal
        A short signal
        And I'll be dead
        You got power, that's why they love
        you
        You have money
        That's why they fawn upon you
        Even me
        I'll obey, I'll do everything
        If you tell me
        Where my darling lies.

      26. TO THE WOMAN

        Look at her
        Is she a doll
        Oh, she is so selfish
        She lives here with us
        Is she free
        Free to choose her own way (of life)
        Is she stupid
        Self-wise
        Is she able to get out from herself
        to look at herself behind herself
        So self-confident
        when strutting, posing
        In a group or alone
        She likes to listen "Bolero", when fucking
        FRUSTRATION
        Healthy, spherical face
        Loosing hair
        As many a girl before her she thinks
        She wasn't used, utilised
        She thinks that
        She is the first in the world

        * * * * *

        Thousands of years, freely, torn off flying
        objects are
        cruising
        across the space, and only sometimes they
        crash against
        objects
        that are in the way.

      27. TO THE MAN

        Do you suffer
        Don't
        Come, take my hand
        Take my words
        Words of comfort
        Relax, I'll be with you
        As every other God's creature
        You need help
        In this world cruel and imperfect
        and we too
        Remember when we were children
        5-35 (55-85)
        When we thought that everything was
        known
        When we were sure that everything we did
        was the best
        for the country and people.
        Oh, we little mean villains
        We only repaid to them what they invested
        in us
        And really we were bastards when we
        ignored our Lord, his
        order
        And he was merciful, allowed us live,
        thinking, knowing that
        we
        shall realize how bad we were

      28. MESSAGE

        Our enemy will be destroyed
        will be destroyed because it (simply)
        must be so
        Because they want it so

        Even the very first day it was clear
        the day we trod into this well
        They said then: We gonna go now
        this way
        We want to learn to live alone, like wolves
        And it will be so until the day
        When we'll come back
        Strong enough to subjugate you
        Or grind you to dust (ashes)

        The sign will be made from your dead bodies
        we'll dance around a lot
        Victorious dance
        Vampires dancing
        And then, all this well will be ours
        And every trace of yours will be wiped out

        (12 years after:)

        Did they return? (Have they returned?)
        No, the way took them deeply into the forest
        And only sometimes they were seen hanging
        around certain trees with red berries,
        with the quivers full of arrows. Shit.

        * * * * *

        Oh yes, I almost forgot

        Then, there was on apparent collision of
        ideas in our circle and I remember some of
        us really ran into the story that says that
        everything depends on the so-called,"first
        step", I mean on the choice of the way.

      29. MUTANT
        experimental

        (I feel so bad, I am a mutant)
        No - sense
        I don't feel the circulation of ancient saps
        through my outward veins
        I do all I can to think as I think about
        radiation,
        anti-bodies drifting through the plasma.
        Noise, that noise. Still, distant, but piercing
        yet.
        Unbeatable.
        Light
        Twilight
        Sound, light, space closing
        It closes my eyes
        No, I want to look
        Exert to look
        I see, I see faintly
        Some of them take me, carrying me, carry
        me long, far, THEY
        These pitiful mutants, swinging me
        Asleep
        Morning, blue, grey
        Night, day
        Noise again, horrible
        I remember that
        Where to go.
        Nowhere.
        Everywhere is the same after the big WAR.
