Illusions on a Double Dimple

Jürgen Fritz, Hans Bathelt

[I. Flashback 00:00-00:57]

[Verse]
A song for all who've tried and lost
A sad and bitter tale
You can't succeed your whole life long
But some folks always fail
So we all know we have to die
The thought is full of pain
You make the grave your last farewell
Your life has been in vain

[II. Schooldays 00:57-04:19]

[Instrumental Intro 0:57 - 2:24]

[Verse 1]
So sorry, teacher
But I don't know the things you made me learn for today
We've got ten kids at home, have little room
Although my daddy's gone away
This is the last time you will have had the chance
Don't you believe that I'm your fool, keep it cool

[Verse 2]
There's a lot of work outside
Please take your books I'd like to see you leave that school
Where is the open hand
That guides me into a land with a friendly sky, oh, so wide?

[III. Triangle 04:19-11:04]

[Instrumental]

[IV. Illusions 11:04-12:56]

[Intro]
Mine is the road to nowhere, no sign, no light to guide me
Who could describe my anger when I was sacked last Friday?

[Verse 1]
Everything looked so fine
Starting at six in the morning
Work was all right, and I thought
This is a new life starting

[Verse 2]
Some of my old friends warned me
They said, "You'll never break the chain
That keeps us all apart from the other society"
Born on the wrong side of town
Maybe I felt they were right
But to change my social background
I had to work and to fight!

[V. Dimplicity 12:56-18:31]

[Verse 1]
Last week, I was called to the foreman
He said, "You're a dirty bloke
Don't lie, I'm sure you took the money
We collected for your old man's death"

[Chorus]
So I stood in the door with a tear and I felt confused
I was charged for a crime, feeling sad to have no clue
Walking out in the night on a dark and empty street
Got no hope, want to drink 'till I can't stand on my feet

[Refrain]
Hello, I'd like a Double Dimple
Good and strong, running down my throat
Let's drink, everything's simple
Spend my money, even sell my coat

[Chorus]
There I sit in the corner and watch my empty glass
All my hang-ups are gone and I'm feeling fine at last
Walking out in the night on a dark and empty street
Where is home? I'm so tired and want to go to sleep

[Bridge]
1, 2, 3, 4
Wakin' up in the morning when the sun is shining high
Find myself in the gutter, see people passing by
Morning came on the hill, smell of snow was in the air
Saw the sun rising up, felt the warmth of a new born day
I feel like dying, I never had the chance to prove, just to lose
And so the race is run, a new life has begun, I stay on the road
A loser in rags, give me a fag

[Verse 2]
Some of my old friends warned me
They said, "you'll never break the chain
That keeps us all apart from the other society"
Mine is the road to nowhere, no sign, no light to guide me
Who could describe my anger when I was sacked last Friday?

[Refrain]
Hello, I'd like a Double Dimple
Good and strong, running down my throat
Let's drink, everything's simple
Spend my money, even sell my coat

[Chorus]
There I sit in the corner and watch my empty glass
All my hang-ups are gone and I'm feeling fine at last
Walking out in the night on a dark and empty street
Where is home? I'm so tired and want to go to sleep

[VI. Last Dance 18:31-23:24]

[Instrumental]
