Nina Hagen Album

I can't be where I am, I've gotta get away
Somewhere as far as I can from you
Somehow it is very clear
I'm getting bored very easily
Maybe somewhere else everybody will be more friendly

And I just wanna get away from everything I know
Runaway, as far as I can go
Runaway, runaway, runaway with my new man any day

Sneaking through them all, that's what it comes down to
No one is around in the morning, I can't help feeling so blue
I'm walking on down the sidewalk,
I really know what it's like to be alone now,
But my heart starts beating out (loud?) when those kids drive by me in their car

And I just wanna get away from everything I know
Runaway, as far as I can go
Runaway, with my true love any day

Runaway, runaway...

I just wanna get away from everything I know
Runaway, as far as I can go
Runaway, runaway, runaway with my true love any day...

Though you've played at love and lost,
and sorrows turned your heart to frost,
but I will melt your heart again.
Remember the feeling as a child,
when we woke up in the morning and smiled,
it's time, it's time, it's time we felt like that again...

There's just no percentage in remembering the past,
it's time you learn to live again and love at last...

Come with me and leave your yesterdays behind,
take a giant step outside your mind.

Come with me and leave your yesterdays behind,
take a giant step outside your mind.

You stare at me in disbelief,
you say for you there's no relief,
but I swear that I will do you no harm.

Don't just sit there in your lonely room,
just looking back in silent gloom,
No, that's not where you belong...

Come with me, I'll show you where.
The taste of life is waiting.
Every day is a whole wonder that's got to be seen...

Ooh...

Come with me and leave your yesterdays behind,
take a giant step outside your mind.

Come with me and leave your yesterdays behind,
take a giant step outside your mind.

Come with me and leave your yesterdays behind,
take a giant step outside your mind.

Won't you come with me and leave your yesterdays behind,
take a giant step outside your mind...

Junkies, whores and pimps
Devils around my bed
There is no choice and no difference
And no one seems to notice

Sometimes I feel like screaming
Sometimes I feel like I just can't win
Sometimes I feel like I was born
To die in your arm in Berlin

Intoxicated by the orchids
Abandoned in the garden
Demanding morphine for communion
Because my soul was burning

Sometimes I feel like screaming
Sometimes I feel like I just cant win
Sometimes I feel like I was born
To die in your arm in Berlin

Stranded in the sweet windings
Breathing the pale moon silver
Tasting the last drops of life
From a sweet transvestite's lips

Sometimes I feel like screaming
Sometimes I feel like I just can't win
Sometimes I feel like I was born
To die in your arm in Berlin

Sunday morning
Praise the dawning
It's just the restless feeling by my side
Early dawning
Sunday morning
It's just the wasted years so close behind
Watch out! The world's behind you
There's always someone around you
Come... it's nothing at all

Sunday morning
And I'm falling
I've gotta a feeling I don't want you to know
Early dawning
Sunday morning
It's all the streets
You crossed not so long ago
Watch out! The world's behind you
There's always someone around you
Come... it's nothing at all
Sunday morning...

What makes me feel so good
Is that everthing's the way it should be
Freedom, true love, new love, do love, love making love, right back to you
Now don't be blue, just try to be true
True to yourself, 'cause you're so smart
And we all know what drove us apart was all that...

Barbed wire all around your heart (x3)

You said you're changing your telephone number
If I don't stop calling you, you don't wanna hear
You want me out of your life forever
Well I think that's great, now I'll have to learn to love you
Like I love God, like other ones that I've loved
You must not fear, but I'm always here, and now it's clear
You don't want me, you want your anonymous programs

Barbed wire around your heart
Barbed wire all around your heart (x3)

The Rude Boy loves the Rude Girl then leaves her crying for more,
Just rapes her and makes her feel like a whore
First ecstasy and unity then misery and cruelty
But look who's having problems with the program
A.A., once an addict, always verdict
Evil brainwash therapy for alcoholics
They go there ever day and make the good thing go away
They keep up their sobriety for that's what they make them fear
But Jesus is no part of it, Bill kicked him off the program
Babaji you don't really seek, you think he's just a geek
You hate me now with all your guts
You think I'm the one who was nuts
Well wait and see and go, go on with your program
You think I'm evil and bad, but I'm only human
My love for you complete is great, you think it's an obsession
You really are my sweetest treasure,
But I will not enter your evil paradise, don't worry! You've got...

Barbed wire all around your heart
Barbed wire all around your heart
Barbed wire around your heart
Barbed wire all around your heart

[REFRAIN]

This is the art
Of splitting apart
I always thought
Yeah, yeah, yeah
We were too smart
For not being able
To stop giving and receiving
But my name's Unable
And IâЂљm unable to be grieving

You came into my life
Dependent on me
But it cuts like a knife
For youâЂљre abandoning me
I thought you were not afraid
To show me your loving day
Now it's too late
And this is my fate

[REFRAIN]

You still belong
To the great great holy world
To still be able
To live your fun
But being afraid of me
Is what you made of me
If you could only see
Who I wanna be
Now you're my nightmare
And you don't even care

[REFRAIN]

A UFO in Malibu
Where it came from, I don't know
I just woke up and there it was, paralyzing Mrs. Hagen-dazs
I saw it with my own two eyes, hey I'm not telling you any lies
Pink, blue, purple and yellow
Goodness gracious, I felt so mellow

Zero Zero Zero Zero UFO UFO (x2)
Uh-oh, here we go!

The Gods of aquarius are coming with UFOs
And they love me and they love you
And what they have to say is true
The good old communication with Holy Spirits of Gods creation is true,
but our church denies it
God when will they realize it?

Zero Zero Zero Zero UFO UFO (x2)
That's right

The power of the UFO was bigger than me and I must know
I couldn't move, I couldn't groove
I just heard the Higher Power

Zero Zero Zero Zero UFO UFO
(to fade)

I've been around for a long long time
I even went to India for a while
I found my master and he found me
I avoided the disaster yes now I'm free
(chorus) 'Cuz freedom is the essence of humanity, we are all born here to be free
Everybody has got eyes to see
True freedom is our destiny
Hey, when I signed my newest deal and the boss invited me for a free meal
I told him Hey my music will change the planet
And if he gives me freedom, I'll sell more than Janet
Freedom, Freedom, Freedom, Freedom...
Now, to give you true satisfaction
I'll help you out with my best connection
All you gotta do is ask me for the right direction
'Cuz the world will only change if we all take action
Have to top the top of the charts
My life is my mine, we aint no flop
I do the punk and I do the pop
I do the hip, yes and I do the hop
(repeat chorus to fade)

I don't wanna be another junkie
I don't wanna be no criminal
All I really want is to be free
A free rebel!

I don't wanna be another junkie
I don't wanna be no criminal
All I really want is to be free
A free rebel!

And I don't wanna be like Elvis Presley
I don't wanna be no fat asshole
I don't wanna die in White Trash City
FUCK LAS VEGAS!

I don't wanna be like Neo-Nazis
I don't wanna eat beef and get drunk
I don't wanna live in Germany
I want my freedom!

I don't wanna be another yuppie
I don't wanna drive a Beemer
I don't wanna die in Malibu
I AM NINA!

I don't wanna be another junkie
I don't wanna be no Kurt Cobain
All I really want is to be free
A free rebel!

na-na-na-na-na.... . . .

Freedom fighter....
I'm a freedom fighter....
Yes im freedom fighter....
Thats what i am
I'm a freedom fighter....
Thats what i am...

[No lyrics]

Tiere Wuerden sowas neimals tun,
Darum nenn mich nie mehr dummes huhn
Heilig ist die kuh, lass sie in ruh!
Tiere sind nich so gemein wie du.

Im dschungel, die tiere,
da geohoer'n sie hin,
Und nicht in den zoo;
da sind sie doch nicht froh.
Sie gehoer'n nich an die schultern deiner reichen puppe,
Und froesche und kroeten gehoer'n nich in die suppe.

Repeat of chorus

Kein vogel wuerde dir'nen kaefig bau'n,
Und dich zum singen zwingen.
Kein schwein dich maesten
und dich in den schlachthof sperr'n,
Uff'n haken haengen und
diene haut abzerr'n.

Repeat of chorus

Meine verwandten sind die elephante,
Und was ich gern' male, sind wale.

Repeat chorus twice


ENGLISH TRANSLATION

Animals would never do something like that,
Thus never again call me a stupid chick.
Holy is the cow, leave her alone!
Animals are not as mean as you are.

In the jungle, the animals,
that's where animals belong,
And not in the zoo;
There they are not happy.
They don't belong on the shoulders of your rich doll;
And frogs and bullfrogs belong not in the soup.

Repeat of chorus

No bird would build you a cage,
And force you to sing.
No pig would fatten you up
and lock you up in the slaughterhouse,
Pin you on a hook and
Tear off your skin.

Repeat of chorus

My relatives are the elephants,
And what I love to draw are whales.

Repeat chorus twice
