lyrics

NEW SENSATIONS

i will start to smoke pot when i'm seventy-four
with my friends from the third generation
we sit in rotten chairs in front of shopping-malls
to create a new sensation

i will write infinite poems on unpaid bills
and post them all over town
they're about microelectronics and ancient gods
but mostly it's all about sound

and i hope i will not take myself too serious
and i hope i will not bore you to death
and that i may not mistake my long gone youth
for the end of the avant-garde

and on sundays yes on sundays
i will put on my tailormade suit
that i once bought from the royalties
for the soundtrack of trivial pursuit

and i guess you might not remember the movie
it had little to do with the game
all in all it's the same old story
of loss and ambition and fame

and i hope they will get me my favorite chair
in my favorite bar
i will sit there for hours over one cup of coffee
cause my money won't take me too far
i will look out of the window watching the people
and sometimes the waitress will give me a refill
and the sky looks grey in a calm and comforting way

and maybe you will join me in the evening
and we take a walk through our old neighbourhood
and although everything looks different and strange
we will be strangers here for good

i will look out of the window watching the people
and sometimes the waitress will give me a refill
and the sky looks grey in a calm and comforting way

Sorry Gilberto Berlin, Germany

Sorry Gilberto are Anne von Keller and Jakob Dobers. They write lyric-driven songs that are melancholic, witty and playful in the same time. With surprising twists in structure and sparse instrumentation they combine simple folk- and glamorous pop-elements and create a very unique atmosphere. ... more
