about

This is sooo old already but I still like it!

Back in the days when this was recorded (1989) I went by the name of Zhouy and I was into funk and sampling a lot. The album was recorded at two studios, mostly with my friend Jürgen Koch, three songs with Mick Franke at his Studio Harderberg (who then released the album on his label Sad Mountain Records). This amazing producer and passionate musician died in 2001 at only 46 years.

I played most of the instruments; on some tracks there's help by others (as indicated in the song details).

Track Name: If You Want My Body
if you want my body
you gotta take my
head too

we all got desires
we all got a heart to be filled
but watch out!
pictures often seem much bigger than life
oh I! I got a real cool style
I got legs to the neck and an ass like an apple
but that ain't all

if you want ...

we all act like actors
in this silly evergreen:
a sexy outfit is the 'enter' button
for this whole damn programme ready to run
oh I! I got a real cool style
I got reason and wit
and great ideas
but who would care?

if you want ...

all alone a man can be
all alone ain't fun
but watch out!
just the way you do is the way you'll be done
oh boy! why don't you treat them friends
why do you make them toy but never teacher
you'd need to learn a lot!

if you want ...
Track Name: Again On My Own
just nother day like the othe ones
but it seems to weigh some thousand tons
nobody still here to help me go my way
nobody appears
I cannot pray -
Lord, oh Lord, get me out of it
Lord, I don't even want to feel high
I just don't wanna die

again I spend my time alone
again on my own
again on my own

can you picture friends who turned apart
little melodies can change a heart
do you know the space that fills an empty seat
do you know the cold that comes after the heat
I don't know how to struggle on
I don't know how to get my things done
without another one

again I spend ...

(Zhouy ... you shouldn't worry ... nobody's ever really gone ...)

again I spend ...

it's a kind of seed to grow inside me
it's a kind of deed nobody can see
I got a bunch of words, of pictures and smell
part of me like eyes and hair to guide me well
travel on like a caravan
travel on, growing larger every day
we go my way

again I spend my time alone
again I go on
spend my time alone
again I go on
spend my time alone
again I go on
Track Name: Hold Me Tonight
man is crown of creation, man knows to fly
much higher than the eagle, man is radio-eyed,
man is much, much quicker then the antelope,
man is the lord of the fire, man made the microscope,
man doesn't bark to the moon, man flies up there,
man made tv to be everywhere,
man is the lord of a sun that is
much hotter than the old one,
man is ever-busy, never carries a cold gun

hold me tonight
I wonder where the birds are gone
I wonder if they died
hold me tonight
I doubt the dolphins sing along
I guess we are alone

man is crown of creation, man knows to fly,
man is never looking down, man is afraid to die,
man is not looking left or right nor looking back,
man is looking ahead, let's go! ATTACK!
SWEET DELIRIO
LIGHT MAKES BRIGHT THE NIGHT
CARRY ME ON YOUR BACK, WHITE HORSE
AND TAKE ME FOR A LONG, LONG RIDE!

hold me tonight ...

man is out of tune
man is out of time
man is out of space
man is out of divine

hold me tonight ...
Track Name: Paper Money*
look! lots of big rings on his fingers
I guess he's influential, that's what he must be
he's born under a lucky star
with a phone receiver to his ear
he is never caught in doubt, he don't think twice
he simply does the things that are to do
Jerry told him how to hold a gun
when he was young enough
now paper does his shooting jobs

paper money
symbols set you free
paper money
symbols moving you and me
paper money
symbols catch you easily
paper money

wow! the house they live in's real fancy
they have a Benz and a Japanese
there is a cute girl of four years
and a smart sixteen-year-old boy
their happiness must be all-embracing
but there's something strange about them
when they talk to each other
needles and knives coming out of their mouths

paper money ...

quick, quick! let's put all our money
on a big heap right behind the house
that will be a great sight!
that will be a real party highlight!
hey, stop! leave the coins in your pockets
cause when the heap is finished we will set it aflame
that will be a great sight!
that will be a real party highlight!

paper money ...
Track Name: Air & Love
ooh baby won't you give me everyhing I'll ever need?
I kiss your sweet red lips I kiss your neck kiss kiss your feet
need to eat all of you I just can't stop so hungry all the time
need to make love to you say that you need me too

LIVING ON AIR AND LOVE

ooh baby I can't hold your hand I got to grab your whole arm
I kiss your wrist I kiss the inside of your elbow so warm
I drink the sweat from your sleek shoulder I'm so thirsty all the time
need to drink all your juice say that you need me too

LIVING ON AIR AND LOVE

(living on a fee'll never take you high)

ooh baby dont stop now let's slow down 'til we truly climb
I wish I were tenthousand lips I'd kiss you everywhere the same time
I wish your rain'd become a river for our souls to sail
need to sail faster now cry when you need it too CRY!

LIVING ON AIR AND LOVE
Track Name: Set Your Fancy Free*
- Zhouy?
- yeah ...
- sing!

baby, let play me my new song to you
I think it's one of my best
«neon will be on», that's what it said first
but I prefer candle light (- you got a match?)
everybody wants to kno the secrets of life
but it's hard to get for modern man
«earn much and turn harsh!» most everyone preaches
we know hat it won't work
so this is where it goes:

A, B, we can C
D-day coming
loves comes real
set your fancy free

'scusi, where do they build faces like yours
without no muscle to move
you see, you do need a new kind of air
coz soon there will be nothing to hide - no no!
everybody will be free to say what she likes
everyone will try to understand - yeah!
- shut up!
- Zhouy, don't fool me
- you cant be this green
no no!
but I know now
this is where it goes:

A, B, we can C ...

baby, let play me my new song again
it's not what mst people say - I know
fancying, romancing now maybe to you
as soon as you believe it comes true
everyone will recognize the trust in you eyes
and will know it's just the trust of a child
you see, you do need but little desire
we do let our dreams grow
and this is where it goes:

A, B, we can C ...

- Zhouy?
- yeah ...
- shouldn't we stop now?
- ok
Track Name: Away From That Memory
the song of the birds
reminds me of hers
the laughter of a child
reminds me of hers, so wild
the sound of an aeroplane
reminds me of our flight to Spain
and how she was coming
I hear though I keep running

away from that memory
away from that memory
I try to force my chemistry
away from that memory
away from that memory
way down to where I won't see
her face, her lips, biology
away from that memory

I'm so horny
now what can I do
look for some magazines
or better look for you
but you're so far away
you're out in the elsewhere
with boyzandgirls
you let caress your cat fur - I'm running

away from that memory
away ...
Track Name: Tea For Two
sorry sister I'm not so cool
I never call ya BABY but I'm no fool
'cuse me sister don't call me rude

I know I got some kinda love inside me
but is it really love for everyone

I dunno why when I'm with you I'm no shy
I can tell ya everything but a lie

words without wisdom into your ear
I wanna sigh loud I wanna cry out
my love and my anger and fear

I know sister our lives will be
a pretty little better when your with me

I know I got some kinda love ...

let's sing together sister:

one two tea ...
Track Name: Doinitrite*
don't give up hope when it get's dark
don't get scared when some of the dogs bark
don't you doubt your world is secure
I care for you I shield you be sure!

I'm doin' it right
ain't doin' it wrong
I'm doin' it right

with your billion tax peace is ours (peace is ours)

I'm doin' it ...

(don't spend the money of your people for those bombs anymore)

(I am your president

THOSE WHO DON'T I WILL SOON 'VE SENT TO THE MOON
(GO TO THE DEVIL)

(I am your president
I am your best and biggest friend)
Track Name: Turn Out The Radio!
turn out the radio!
turn out!

I can tell by the look in your eyes
you need a parachute when your bed flies
(fly away fly away fly away ...)

«this is WNOKYBOACLTKMC DJ Randolph P.C. Genius Arnold

I don't know what the others do

DJ - you gotta lotta letters

turn out the radio! - turn it out

I can tell by the look in your eyes
you need a parachute when your bed flies
but when you look into the eye without soul
you're a stripper in an x-rated show
(fly away fly away fly away ...)
«turn out the radio now!»
