Alleine im Lokal wart' ich wieder mal
Darauf, dass noch was geschieht
Da stehst du im Licht
Ich trau' meinen Augen nicht
Ein Engel, der wie du aussieht

Ich muss handeln und zwar schnell, ob ich Whiskey bestell'
Oder soll ich zu dir gehen
Doch der Typ da mit dem Bier
Was will der denn von dir?
Ich hab' dich doch zuerst gesehen
Ich hab' dich doch zuerst gesehen

Ist die Chance vertan? Warum lacht mir nie das Glück?
Trink ich mich heut' unter'n Tisch oder geh' ich nach Haus zurück?

Alleine in der Nacht
Alleine in der Nacht

Doch der Typ geht weg und ich kriege einen Schreck
Denn du schaust direkt zu mir
Ich geb' dir einen aus, frag' dich: „Kommst du mit nach Haus?“
Du sagst „Ja“, so gehen wir

Ich spür's genau im Knie, so verliebt war ich noch nie
Da stoppt uns ein Polizist
Eine Bank wurd' ausgeraubt und das ist ja nicht erlaubt
Er sagt, dass Du's gewesen bist
Er sagt, dass Du's gewesen bist

Jetzt bist du eingesperrt, doch ich werde treu dir sein
Leider bin ich dafür sieben Jahre lang allein

Alleine in der Nacht (alleine in der Nacht)
Alleine in der Nacht (alleine in der Nacht)
Alleine in der Nacht (alleine in der Nacht)
Alleine in der Nacht (alleine in der Nacht)

Es wär' schön gewesen
Mir bleibt nur deine Liebesbriefe zu lesen
Mit ihnen decke ich mich zu

Alleine in der Nacht
Alleine in der Nacht
Alleine in der Nacht
Alleine in der Nacht

Du bist allein, ganz allein, so allein, allein in der Nacht
Ich bin allein, so allein, so allein, allein in der Nacht
Du bist allein, ich bin allein, wir sind allein, allein in der Nacht
Er ist allein, sie ist allein, es ist allein, allein in der Nacht

    A typical lyric from Dirk Felsenheimer in the early years of Die Ärzte. Not really like a genius. But still it's a classic.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
