In einer Welt, in der man nur noch lebt
Damit man täglich roboten geht
Ist die größte Aufregung, die es noch gibt
Das allabendliche Fernsehbild

Jeder Mensch lebt wie ein Uhrwerk
Wie ein Computer programmiert
Es gibt keinen, der sich dagegen wehrt
Nur ein paar Jugendliche sind frustriert

Wenn am Himmel die Sonne untergeht
Beginnt für die Droogs der Tag
In kleinen Banden sammeln sie sich
Gehen gemeinsam auf die Jagd

Hey, hier kommt Alex
Vorhang auf für seine Horrorschau
Hey, hier kommt Alex
Vorhang auf für ein kleines bisschen Horrorschau

Auf dem Kreuzzug gegen die Ordnung
Und die scheinbar heile Welt
Zelebrieren sie die Zerstörung
Gewalt und Brutalität

Erst wenn sie ihre Opfer leiden sehen
Spüren sie Befriedigung
Es gibt nichts mehr, was sie jetzt aufhält
In ihrer gnadenlosen Wut

Hey, hier kommt Alex
Vorhang auf für seine Horrorschau
Hey, hier kommt Alex
Vorhang auf für ein kleines bisschen Horrorschau

Zwanzig gegen einen
Bis das Blut zum Vorschein kommt
Ob mit Stöcken oder Steinen
Irgendwann platzt jeder Kopf
Das nächste Opfer ist schon dran
Wenn ihr den lieben Gott noch fragt
„Warum hast du nichts getan, nichts getan?“

Hey, hier kommt Alex
Vorhang auf für seine Horrorschau
Hey, hier kommt Alex
Vorhang auf für ein kleines bisschen Horrorschau

Hey, hey, hey, hier kommt Alex
Vorhang auf für seine Horrorschau

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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,
