TEHO TEARDO & BLIXA BARGELD ,Still Smiling (not the video)

still there? still there.


I re-count the black days
recollect some circumstances
even though it takes my sleep
I recall the black days
the mismatches and the end of some affairs
I recall the black days
between zenith and nadir
is there a pattern anywhere?
I recall the black days
the blackest one it's not the last one but it's there

and somewhere down there
I'm smiling
still smiling
I'm smiling
from the bottom of my shapeless soul
I'm smiling
anyway

I recount the black days
wade through all the shadows
even so it takes my sleep
I recall the black days
the cuts and the recovery
from unnecessary growth
I recall the black days
as maybe grim and melanized
but also colourful

and somewhere down there
I'm smiling
still smiling
I'm smiling
from the bottom of my fairtrade soul
I'm smiling …

still there?

Teho Teardo ,Blixa Bargeld , A Quiet Life

good morning...

a quiet life

Maybe this time, Maybe this time I'll outwit my past I'll throw away the numbers, the keys

And all the cards Maybe I can carve out a living in the cold At the outskirts of some city I extinguish all my recent pasts Become another man again And have a quiet life A quiet life for me A quiet life A quiet life for me A quiet life for someone An acquired life for me I lost, I ran I started once anew In northern grey, in drizzling rain In salted slush and bitter hale But the order as always merciless It wants to see me fail So the hunter is now the hunted Past voices call my name I renounce my past to live again A quiet life A quiet life A quiet life for me A quiet life for someone An acquired life for me I thought I have been given Another chance again But heaven lies as usual I repented but in vain It tries to cheat me out of my good aim Take away what I never really got My quiet life No quiet life for me No quiet life No quiet life for me A quiet life for someone No quiet life for me
