I was walking down the street
With my chains tied up to my feet
I leaned instead of jiggie with the sidewalk
Now this street tells the same old boring tale
That has failed in so many ways of life
To trust its stories you've got to be dull as them

And all the love I've got in here you've just killed
You peasants didn't even care
The love I had in store you raped for more
And all the dreams I had in here you've just stolen
You peasants didn't even care
But the dreams I had for her you cannot touch, my golden hand
'Cause it's guarded by your promises
Yeah, yeah, yeah

I met her in a crowded room where the bookshelves help you and knowledge takes your hand
I watched her beauty from an armchair
I said, "Hey girl, have you seen that film with those kids in New York in the eighties
Oh, you have, "Well, can I watch it with you anyway"

And all the love I've got in here you've just killed
You peasants didn't even care
The love I had in store you raped for more
And all the dreams I had in here you've just stolen
You peasants didn't even care
But the dreams I had for her you cannot touch, my golden hand
'Cause it's guarded by your promises
Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah

Congratulations Mr. Major you saviour, betrayer, you stinking master of trusts
How does it feel to ride all those horses?
You cannot touch our hearts when we're in bloom
I assume that we'll win over the heads again
We conceal none, you'll feel none, that's what I promise
And all the love we've got in store, you can't kill you peasants!
We won it all
And the love I have for her you cannot touch, my golden hand
'Cause it's guarded by your filthy promises

And all the love I've got in here you've just killed
You peasants didn't even care
The love I had in store you raped for more
And all the dreams I had in here you've just stolen
You peasants didn't even care
But the dreams I had for her you cannot touch, my golden hand
'Cause it's guarded by your promises
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Honey I love you, like the summer falls
And the winter crawls
You're above and beyond me

Honey I love you, like the summer falls
And the winter crawls
You're above and beyond me

Honey I love you, like the summer falls
And the winter crawls
You're above and beyond me

    General Commenti can't believe no one has commented on this song. Mando Diao is ment! A very unique way of expressing "don't touch her, she's mine"

    General Commenti love mando diao. they are one of my favourite bands in the world. they are becoming famous at the time here in germany.
    when i saw a gig in berlin, the singer said something like 'This is mando diao. this song is what the band mando diao is all about' before they played that song.
    that was great.
