Mona&Lucy
i saw you ridin' through the endless grasslands
you and Lucy in the prairie sun
you had followed the stars to the West, go West
but Pocahonta's on the run
not a penny to your name
Stetson on your had
and you know that she'll be waiting
if your life ain't worth a dime
i saw you lyin' on a palm-lined beach somewhere
you and Lucy in the tropical sun
you had followed the moon to the East, go East
but Mother Nature's on the run
not a penny to your name
feather in your hair
and if you wouldn't catch your dreams
you'd surely lose your mind
push the pedal down, the dream is gone
we're dancing to a different song
no diamond sky, it's darker than before
push the pedal down, the dream is gone
Mona's on a distance run
and Lucy doesn't come around no more
i saw you standin' on the highest rooftop
you and Lucy in the setting sun
you had followed your dreams far up, go up
but Icarus has long been gone
not a penny to your name
shades to hide the signs
you say the time is right
for fighting in the street, boy
push the pedal down, the dream is gone
we're dancing to a different song
no diamond sky, it's darker than before
push the pedal down, the dream is gone
Mona's on a distance run
and Lucy doesn't come around no more

you've got a guitar
and you do like music
and Nirvana is your favourite band
you can play the bass line
of Come As You Are
but whatever Kurt mumbles
you don't understand
couldn't care less if your out of tune
if your hair's alright, your pants are tight
don't give a damn if your shoes are cool
if you've been around
or about your Orange sound
but your total lack of imagination
your total lack of imagination
your total lack of imagination
is driving me mad
really not fussed if your parents cheer
and clap their hands, your teachers dance
when you're crying out When I Come Around
you know the riffs ok, but I have to say
your total lack of imagination
your total lack of imagination
your total lack of imagination
is driving me mad
it's making me blue but I guess it's true
that kids like you are nothing new
for all I know back in the days
old Oscar said to Bosie too
your total lack of imagination...

Wär schön, wenn Du bleibst
ich hab die Sterne gefragt
und habs dem Wind erzählt
hab den Vögeln gelauscht
und alle Wolken gezählt
ich hab gejammert, hab gestammelt,
hab geheult, hab geschrien
ich hab Dich tausendmal verflucht
und Dir jedes Mal verziehn
das hat alles nicht geholfen
Du hast mit immer noch gefehlt
manchmal wär's mir lieber
Du hättest mir Märchen erzählt
Du gibst mir keine Antwort
sagst nicht Ja, nicht Nein
und ich steh hier im Regen
weiß nicht aus, noch ein
doch was immer Du tust
is schon ok
wär schön, wenn Du bleibst
von mir aus geh
ich hab auf Knien gebetet
und alle Geister beschwört
hab laut und leise geweint
und jeden Nachbarn gestört
hab mein leeres Bett gequält
und Dich im Traum umgebracht
ich war mir selber zu viel
und hab immer wieder gelacht
das hat alles nicht geholfen
Du hast mit immer noch gefehlt
manchmal wär's mir lieber
Du hättest mir Märchen erzählt

Not The Ones Berlin, Germany
NOT THE ONES aus Ost-Berlin spielen simplen 77-Punk mit Ohrwurmmelodien.
Dem Titel der ersten LP entsprechend
versuchen NOT THE ONES seit Jahren, mit ihrer Musik schlechte Laune zu verbreiten, doch Publikum & Kritiker sprechen stets von Gute-Laune-Musik.
Bei Wanda Records heißt es: „Charmant-britische Guitar Punk-Nummern in Richtung Alternative TV & Adverts, versetzt mit Boys/Lurkers-Melodien.“
