Treblinkah Lyrics
When I watch you, wanna do you
Right where you're standing, yeah
Right on the foyer, on this dark day
Right in plain view, oh yeah
Of the whole ghetto, the boot-stomped meadows
But we ignore that, yeah
You're lovely baby, this war is crazy
I won't let you down, oh no, no
No, I won't let them take you
Won't let them take you, hell no no
Oh no, I won't let them take you
Won't let them take you, hell no no
No, oh no no no
And when our city, vast and shitty
Falls to the axis, yeah
They'll search the buildings, collect gold fillings
Wallets and rings, oh yeah
But miss black eyeliner, you'd look finer
With each day in hiding, oh yeah
Beneath the wormwood, ooh love me so good
They won't hear us screw away the day
I'll make you say
(background) Alive, alive, alive with the glory of love
No, I won't let them take you
Won't let them take you, hell no no
Oh no, I won't let them take you
Won't let them take you, hell no no
Our Treblinkah is alive with the glory of love
Treblinkah, alive with the glory of love, yeah
Should they catch us, and dispatch us
to those separate work camps
I'll dream about you, I will not doubt you
With the passing of time, oh yeah
Should they kill me, your love will fill me
As one as the bullets, yeah
I'll know my purpose, this war was worth this
I won't let you down, no I won't no I won't no I won't
Hell no no, whoa no, I won't let them take you
Won't let them take you, hell no no
No no
Right where you're standing, yeah
Right on the foyer, on this dark day
Right in plain view, oh yeah
Of the whole ghetto, the boot-stomped meadows
But we ignore that, yeah
You're lovely baby, this war is crazy
I won't let you down, oh no, no
Won't let them take you, hell no no
Oh no, I won't let them take you
Won't let them take you, hell no no
And when our city, vast and shitty
Falls to the axis, yeah
They'll search the buildings, collect gold fillings
Wallets and rings, oh yeah
But miss black eyeliner, you'd look finer
With each day in hiding, oh yeah
Beneath the wormwood, ooh love me so good
They won't hear us screw away the day
I'll make you say
Won't let them take you, hell no no
Oh no, I won't let them take you
Won't let them take you, hell no no
Treblinkah, alive with the glory of love, yeah
to those separate work camps
I'll dream about you, I will not doubt you
With the passing of time, oh yeah
As one as the bullets, yeah
I'll know my purpose, this war was worth this
I won't let you down, no I won't no I won't no I won't
Won't let them take you, hell no no
No no

this song is called "Alive With the Glory of Love" way to go.
Well, it was originally called Treblinkah before it was put on the new album.
I adore this song. I get weird looks when I wander around the singing the opening lines. :P
This song's based on film The Pianist. I just think it's interesting, taking common themes like love and sex and putting it against a backdrop people don't generally associate those themes with - ie. the Holocaust.
Here brandnew, have some paper towels. You should know what time of the month it is by now shouldn't you?
the song is not based on 'the pianist'
Actually, I'm pretty sure Max said in an interview that AWTGOL is based on that movie.
this version? so much better. i love how he sings it and how it just sounds so. joyous. yes. one of my favorite songs. ever.
wow, a lot of these lyrics are wrong, but i love this version.
its not. its kanda a tribute to max's grandparents who were survivors of the holocaust.
Even if it isn't about the pianist its still obviously about the holocaust. I get chills from this song. And the music video work well with the meaning.
max interviewed his grandparents about the holocaust before he wrote this.
"when our city, vast and shitty falls to the axis" like, the axis powers in ww2 who were nazis and shittt.
