Get on the Supersonic Eskalator
It’s very easy to get high
This is the Supersonic Eskalator
You’ll never know if you never try

Get on the Supersonic Eskalator
The Busters get you high as a kite
We have a Supersonic Eskalator
And we’re gonna use it tonight

Supersonic Eskalator, take me to the summit
Lift me up, get me high, we’re leaving any minute
Supersonic Eskalator, ain’t never gonna stop
Get on board, get your reward, the only way is up

Up – up – up – up – ain’t never gonna get you down
Up – up – up – up – and nothing’s gonna stop us now
Up – up – up – up – ain’t never gonna get you down
Up – up – up – up

Don’t need no rocket
Don’t need no plane
Just need this crazy band to drive me insane
Aaaah aaah aaah aaah

We have the Supersonic Eskalator
And we’re gonna use it tonight

Supersonic Eskalator, take me to the summit
Lift me up, get me high, we’re leaving any minute
Supersonic Eskalator, ain’t never gonna stop
Get on board, get your reward, the only way is up

Up – up – up – up – ain’t never gonna get you down
Up – up – up – up – and nothing’s gonna stop us now
Up – up – up – up – ain’t never gonna get you down
Up – up – up – up

Don’t need no rocket
Don’t need no plane
Just need this crazy band to drive me insane
Aaaah aaah aaah aaah

A scooter, a router, a brand new computer
A drum, chewing gum, and a bottle full of rum
And a 50-Inch screen that I always wanted to get

A chateau in Bordeaux, a vacation bungalow
A twin cam Harley, a record of Bob Marley
And a Yak from Tibet I’ll call Jack that I’ll get as a pet

All the things I’ve always dreamed about
All the things I wouldn’t wanna be without
All the those dreams that never really came true
All the things I could have by now if I hadn’t met you

Something old, something new, a silver Sixpence in my shoe
A garden with flowers, a clock to count the hours
And a microwave oven to cook my favorite food

A tisket, a tasket, a little jewel casket
A phone, a trombone, something made from silicone
And a DVD to get me in the mood

All the things I’ve always dreamed about
All the things I wouldn’t wanna be without
All the those dreams that never really came true
All the things I could have by now if I hadn’t met you

Sally and Steve, met each other
in a music store, Steve was undercover
He thought he was a famous singer
but Sally wrapped him ‘round her finger
She was so straight and so natural
he thought that he knew her so well
She had the voice to bring his music to sound
though she was so innocent and small and round

You can never bring back the time, bring back the time
When you met the very first time, very first time
That`s the deal since Adam and Eve, Adam and Eve
Paradise is lost for Sally and Steve, Sally and Steve

Steve got two sticks, and they got together
now he was a drummer, but he was still clever
enough to see, that there was something missing
although when he beat her, it felt like kissing
So he sold his soul, to someone at the crossroad
he got cheated, instead of talent he got
a bass drum, two tom-toms, two cymbals, hi-hat
and bad trouble with Sally, he thought she wouldn`t mind that

CHORUS

They travelled a lot, they had their share
of Rock ’n’ Roll life, one night, Steve didnt care bout Sally being, slightly out of tune
he blamed her body, he blamed the room
He tried other drums, sparkling and stunning
Sally was told: it`s just drumming!
Till one day he remembered the voice
that separated him from the other boys

CHORUS

Starteld by the parrots shout, they scream as loud’s they can
The heat is shimmering on the streets, it’s only six a.m
A symphony of hooting cars, the music on its way
The sun is crawling up the hill, gonna be a perfect day

You wear a different shirt, and some different shoes
Cause it’s a brand new style and you heard the news
You have a different hat, and you changed your name
Well, you may change the name, but the game is the same

Old news is making the front page again
Come spread the word and tell all your friends

It is the same game
Now we’re rolling at a different pace
It is the same game
You’re at the right time in the right place
It is the same game
Let me tell you that the best things remain
It is the same game
Been there, done that and now we do it again

True, these are different times, and it’s a different crowd
But we still party hard, and we shout it out loud
Now I’ve seen it all, and I must admit
This feels like good old days, and I ain’t gonna quit

Old news is making the front page again
Come spread the word and tell all your friends

CHORUS

So now you hear me sing about the same old thing
Maybe with different words and with a different swing
But it feels just right, and let me tell you all
Old fucks, young fucks, we’re gonna have a ball

Old news is making the front page again
Come spread the word and tell all your friends

CHORUS

Her eyes are muddy puddles
The boys are lining up for more than cuddles
Sharing hopes and fears
They will end up reduced to tears

Many came, but all are gone
Just a different chorus to the same old song
You’re just an extra in a creepy show
And don’t tell me that you didn’t know

Oh evil, evil, evil Eve
Has you praise her to the skies
Evil, evil, evil Eve
Is a serpent in diguise
Evil, evil, evil Eve
Leaves you laughing, leaves you bleedin’
Evil, evil, evil Eve
On the other side of Eden

In her house of ill repute
She’ll call you honey, she’ll call you cute
For a night that you won’t forget
The traps are already set

Dazed and blinded by desire
You’ll miss the slings, you’ll miss the wire
And you’ll leap before you can look
Evil Eve has you on the hook

Oh evil, evil, evil Eve
Has you praise her to the skies
Evil, evil, evil Eve
Is a serpent in diguise
Evil, evil, evil Eve
Leaves you laughing, leaves you bleedin’
Evil, evil, evil Eve
On the other side of Eden

I’m driving much too fast, like a little boy
Who can’t deal with the loss, of his favourite toy
I’m trying to hurt myself, like I got hurt by you
That is what you get, from all the things you do

Give me one more night with you
Cause I still love you, yes I do
If you leave me I’ll be blue
I’m mad about you

For ev’ry single night, for ev’ry lonely day
I chop one finger off, that is the price you pay
It’s getting hard to phone, but I would find a way
If you could make the call, that says you’re gonna stay

Give me one more night with you
Cause I still love you, yes I do
If you leave me I’ll be blue
I’m mad about you

I’m mad about you ...

Give me one more night with you
Cause I still love you, yes I do
If you leave me I’ll be blue

Give me one more night with you
Cause I still love you, yes I do
If you leave me I’ll be blue
I’m mad about you

When Laurel was young, the world was new
With melodies sweet, and the beat was blue
Laurel was young, the time was right
To keep the folks shuffling in the hot summer nights

When Laurel was young, the summers were long
Spreading the good vibes with every song
People would sing at the top of their lungs
That’s how it was when Laurel was young

He put the Boogie in our bones
Told bad mind women to go home
Sang a pretty little ditty
All the way to Zion City

When Laurel was young, they made a new style
That would keep us dancing all the while
It spread from Jamaica to worldwide fame
Laurel was young, and “Ska” was the name

He put the Boogie in our bones
Told bad mind women to go home
Sang a pretty little ditty
On the Skinhead Train to Rainbow City

When Laurel was young, the world was new
With melodies sweet, and the beat was blue
Believe it or not, Laurel, it’s true
After all these years we’re still mad about you

Believe it or not, I know that it’s true
After all these years we’re still mad about you

There's a state of mind, that you can't describe
If you don't know it, you've never spent a night
Hangin' out with the boys, hangin' out with the boys
You say what you think, and if it's nothing at all
We don't give a damn, no we don't care at all
Hangin' out with the boys, hangin' out with the boys

Life is simple and there's no room for complications
Good jokes, good drinks, good fun
That's our favourite combination

Hangin' out with the boys (4x)

Sophistication's got one day off
Sometimes we might act a little rough
Hangin' out with the boys, hangin' out with the boys
But when it comes to the point, when you need a friend
Smart advices and beer will never come to an end
Hangin' out with the boys, hangin' out with the boys

Life is simple and there's no room for complications
Good jokes, good drinks, good fun
That's our favourite combination

Hangin' out with the boys (hangin' out with the boys) (4x)

Our language is the same all over the world
Good jokes, good drinks, good fun
Understanding without words

Hangin' out with the boys (hangin' out with the boys) (8x)

Money’s like a woman
Sometimes it’s hard to understand
It is very shy
When you reach out your hand
It’s playing hard to get
When you need a grant
Sometimes it’s tight, but always right
When it’s in your pants

Money is a hooker, it goes where money is
Money is a heartbreaker – yes it is

The money is not gone
It’s only somewhere else, you know
It’s not burned, it hasn’t disappeared
It’s rollin’ with the flow
Money always likes
To see a smiling face
And if it’s not with you
You’re simply in the wrong place

Money’s very shy
And sensitive indeed
It must be taken care of
Attention is what it needs
Never give it the impression
That you don’t really want it
It will turn its back on you
Unless it’s really flaunted

Money is a hooker, it goes where money is
Money is a heartbreaker – yes it is

The money is not gone
It’s only somewhere else, you know
It’s not burned, it hasn’t disappeared
It’s rollin’ with the flow
Money always likes
To see a smiling face
And if it’s not with you
You’re simply in the wrong place

Small town boy met small town girl
Where small ideas rule the world
A gas station to hang around
To them it was holy ground

He sang this song and the motors were blowing
A manager came and said: I’ve got a show
One week later his name was known
In the Rock’n’Roll world of this peaceful town

Love and glory it’s not a big story
Umbrellas are cheap when the sun’s shining bright
Love and glory life’s never boring
Till the fairground is closed and access is denied

They knew his name in the bakery
Where they wrapped up his bread extra carefully
Each night in the club was a night of the proms
He and his girl felt like the chosen ones

Fancy clothes for both of them,
The manager said: keep smiling, Sam
I don’t care about your hangover
Get in shape or it’s all over

CHORUS

A tv-team came to the small town
To film the show and ev’rything around
He was interviewed and subtitled
Cause he sounded very country-sided

The message was clear: Hollywood was waiting
He and his girl were slightly overrating
Their prospects in life, the taxman said: give me five!
They broke up but weren’t that roaring times

Hundreds of neighbors, hundreds of flavors
Hundreds of nations full of sensations
Got to get away, got to take a holiday, captain, drop me of at JFK
If you make it there you will make it anywhere

Back in New York
Back in New York
Back in New York
In the city of dreams, of Kings and Queens

Back in New York
Back in New York
Back in New York
A knife and a fork and a bottle and a cork
It’s good to be back in New York

Staten Island, Queens, Manhattan, Brooklyn and Bronx
Love how your funk fills up my conk
Got to get around, got to, got to get down, driver, drop me off in China Town
If you wanna meet, come to 42nd Street

Back in New York
Back in New York
Back in New York
In the city of dreams, of Kings and Queens

Back in New York
Back in New York
Back in New York
A knife and a fork and a bottle and a cork
It’s good to be back in New York

Woke up last night
Looked at you and I took fright
Who am I in this cold September
Where are all the dreams I can’t remember

What’s right, what’s wrong
Realizing that I don’t belong
Who am I in this cold September
Where are all the dreams I can’t remember

I wish that I was stronger
I wanna say it straight
I wish I was myself and wouldn’t do the things I hate

I wish I could feel happy
And wouldn’t have to cry
I wish that I could tell you why I didn’t say good bye

Just one more bridge to burn
Before I reach the point of no return
I hang my head in sorrow
Make up my mind, maybe tomorrow

CHORUS

Just one more bridge to burn
before I reach that point of no return
I hang my head in sorrow
Make up my mind, maybe tomorrow

CHORUS

I wish that I was stronger
I long to deviate
I wish I was myself and wouldn’t do the things I hate

I wish that I was stronger
And wouldn’t feel the shame
I start to realize that I’m the only one to blame

Put on your red dress and put on your smile
I will knock on your door in a little while
It don’t take much to get ready
For a summernight

We’ll sit on the roof, the white wine is cold
And your little hand is all I wanna hold
Sounds like a good beginning
For a summernight

We listen to Derrick Morgan and also Laurel Aitken
And we’re so happy about, the chance, that we are taking

Let’s go outside and feel alright
On a summernight
It feels so nice to be alive
On a summernight

Tonight the sun is shining and we get our share
Of the sweet, sweet love thats in the air Youd better take a breath
Of this summernight

And when the piglets sing „Johnny Reggae“
The neighbourhood is getting ready
To come over and share the vibes
Of this summernight

We listen to Derrick Morgan and also Laurel Aitken
And we’re so happy about, the chance, that we are taking
