King Køng

[Phil8585]

Ich glaub auch das FU genau weiss wo die King Kong sachen sind, es gab ja zu der Life Itsel ein Textblatt das man sich bestellen konnte, dass wird schon einer der Hardcoresammler haben

Man könnte auch annehmen, FU nennt sich Gabumon....ist dir das selber nicht unangenehm,  sowas immer und immer wieder zu behaupten? Oder bist du s, FU? 

[Shitkicker]

Muss für FU doch auch seltsam sein, dass nach all den Jahren immer noch Interesse an dieser Band besteht!
Für mich persönlich haben die King Køng Songs immer noch einen sehr hohen Stellenwert!

Geht mir genauso und dafür habe ich mich bei Farin auch per Mail bedankt. Tolle Aktion von Farin übrigens.

Die Lyrics von der Life Itself... habe ich noch als Kopie. Da waren auch noch die Texte von der Complete Mahaze dabei. Den Text zu Bang My Head habe ich leider auch nicht. (Live war der Song immer mega.)

Ich kann sie nachher mal hochladen.

[Gabumon]

Die gabs ja auch nur als "kopiertes Blatt" da FU / King Kong kein Geld mehr hatten um ein 8 seitiges Cover drucken zu können. Daher gibts da auch nur 3000 Stück von. Gringo wollte nichts riskieren (aka. nicht viel bezahlen) und FU ging das Geld aus.

Schade das die ohne Rerelease bleibt. Die General Theory und King Who? lagen ja rechtlich nicht bei FU, sondern beim Label BMG, sonst wären die auch NIE gekommen. die hatten ja 1991 die General Theory sogar in Indonesien(!) veröffentlicht. Aber alles ohne Erfolg

Hier sind die Lyrics der "Life Itself..." und der "Complete Mahaze". Aus dem Fanzine #4. Dank gebührt unserem User Shitkicker.

Hach.. Ich hab nich mal das Album .. (also ich kenn die Musik vom 3. Album gar nicht ) die anderen beiden hab ich. General Theory lieb ich.. Für mich ein Rätsel warum das alles so "erfolglos" war (wobei, die Tatsache dass Jahrzehnte später immer noch Leute über diese Musik sprechen, spricht auch für sich irgendwie, nich? Hätte ev. mehr Zeit gebraucht...) andererseits will ich mich nich beschweren, denn sonst hätt's DÄ wohl niemehr gegeben und ein Leben ohne diese Musik will ich mir eigentlich nicht vorstellen..

Danke für den Tipp!

[Philsmith]

So, wie versprochen die King Køng Songtexte!
Ich hab mal die Absätze so angepasst wie sie in diesem Fanzine erschienen sind (Danke an Shitkicker )
Einige Texte stimmen trotz Abdruck einfach nicht, hier habe ich dann Farin's Version genommen!
Also viel Spaß!

The complete Mahaze Vol. 1 (EP):

"I don't care"

I wanna tell you 'bout a friend who died, I wanna tell you how it feels inside
I never thought he had something to hide, but he ended his life: Suicide (But he ended his life in a suicide)

I still remember the few good times that we've met (I still remember the few good times that we had)
I won't forget those words he said

It's a wonderful world that we live in, it's a wonderful life that we lead

I never realized the difference between fooling around and makin' sense
And when I got the message, I just hung up the phone
I felt alone I guess I should have known

It's a wonderful world that we live in, it's a wonderful life that we lead
Everything is close to perfection
I don't care about tomorrow, the past is all that I need

It's a wonderful world that we live in, it's a wonderful life that we lead
Everything is close to perfection
And whatever I try I'm sure, I'll always succeed

--> in rot gehalten Farin's Version, ich höre da aber wirklich was anderes raus

[Philsmith]

"Shitkicker"

I'm not afraid when it's dark outside just a flick of the switch and there's light
I change time and place and speed, so they satisfy my needs
And of course, I turn days into nights

Are you searching for the reasons of my life's philosophy?
Are you gazing at the marvels of my strange machinery?
Are you wonderin' what it could be, what it could be?
These are the miracles of electricity

I stabilize an instable condition (I stabilize an unstable condition), it's so easy to make the rocks roll
You pay the price for my navel position, next to god I'm in complete control
I'll build a machine that makes a hell of a noise but if you throw in some coins it's gonna stop for a while
(I'll build a machine that makes a hell of a noise but if you throw in some dimes it's gonna stop for a while)
You won't believe what a pleasure silence can be, especially if it comes so suddenly

Are you trying to grasp the reasons for my life's philosophy?
Are you gazing at the marvels of my strange machinery?
Are you wonderin' what it could be, what it could be?
These are the miracles of electricity

Why don't you and me do like the electrons do?
I've got current running through, why don't you?
You know that I don't have a clue when in this stormy weather you'll be rubbing sticks together...

I know a thing or two that I would really like to do with you

--> in rot gehalten Farin's Version, ich höre da aber wirklich was anderes raus

"Crazy Politicians"

Crazy politicians are messing with your home
The missiles in your garden tell a story of their own
They put warheads in your wardrobe and mines under your door
You can't sit in the kitchen without gasmask any more
So does it ever make you wonder
Why they talk so much but they say so little?
Why they talk so much but they say nothing at all?

Crazy politicians are messing with your life
Last night our chancellor took nude pictures of your wife
Dating an MP has left your daughter in a mess
And your son has just been kidnapped by a speaker-to-the-press
So does it ever make you wonder
Why they talk so much but they say so little?
Why they talk so much but they say nothing at all?
Why they talk so much but they say so little?
Why they talk so much but they say nothing at all?

[Philsmith]

Life itself is sweet, sweet, sweet!

"Intro"

Well I dreamt it was all over
And I woke up with a smile
I guess I'll go down in the end
But I'll be goin' down with style
And now I know exactly what I'll do
And I won't spend another day with you

[Philsmith]

"Galloping Rhinos"

Ground shakes here they come
Looking for another easy target
Poor vision compensated by strength
One direction to go and nothin' will stop 'em

You want to be a man and you think you've gotta prove it
But if you have to kill don't you do it for me
If your world stops turnin' why don't you try to move it
To everybody else you're just anybody

I don't wanna crawl waiting for a revolution
I'm standing tall watching the stampede
I know it all and you can tell me nothin' baby:
Life itself is sweet, sweet, sweet!

Earth quakes herd is passing
Attracting a crowd that's watching the show
Recruiting the stupid, they're proud to follow
Listening to the cheers I throw up and go

You want to be a man and you think you've gotta prove it
But if you have to kill don't you do it for me
If your world stops turnin' why don't you try to move it
To everybody else, you're just somebody

I don't wanna crawl waiting for a revolution
I'm standing tall watching the stampede
I know it all and you can tell me nothin' baby:
Life itself is sweet, sweet, sweet!

Killing the king was a good thing to do
But you didn't stop there, you had to rape the queen
Slaughtered all the servants burnt the castle down
No reminder of the past was left to be seen

Now the ugly horn it got stuck in your face
And it won't wear off it won't go away
I don't wanna join you in your slaughterhouses
And it's not your god to whom I pray

I don't wanna crawl waiting for a revolution
I'm standing tall I'm watching the stampede
I know it all and you can tell me nothin' baby:
Life itself is...

I don't wanna crawl waiting for a revolution
I'm standing tall watching the stampede
I know it all and you can tell me nothin' asshole:
Life itself is sweet, sweet, sweet!

[Philsmith]

"I don't like it"

You sayin' all the right things at the wrong time
You tell me that you missed me for a long time

You adore the angry young men of your dreams
You try to get by on your own
But at the end of the days (so it seems)
This little pet needs of bone
Like a dog you come crawlin'
Like a dog when I'm callin'
Like a dog you come crawlin'
Like a dog when I'm callin'... and I don't like it
No

You look at me with bright eyes and you wait
For another stick you can fetch
Too bad your tail doesn't wiggle at all
Too bad there's nothing to catch
You cuddle up motionless for a week on the spot of your choice
But your state of unconsciousness ends at the tone of my voice
Like a dog you come crawlin'
Like a dog when I'm callin'
Like a dog you come crawlin'
Like a dog when I'm callin'... and I don't like it

[Philsmith]

"N.W.O."

Woke up with this strange feeling
I don't know where I am
All alone in an empty room
And blood all over my hands
Wish I knew what's goin' on everything is red
I'm so alone, I'm so lonely
I wanna be dead, I wanna be dead

Won't someone get me out of here
Won't someone get me out of here
Won't someone get me out of here
I think I'm goin' insane

Look into a mirror don't recognize that face
It looks so weird it looks so strange
Blood all over, all over the place
Hold my breath to listen to the voices in my head
I think I'm gonna slash my wrists before I gone to bed
I'm so alone, I'm so lonely, I don't know why
The world seems like a grave to me
I wanna die, I wanna die

Won't someone get me out of here
Won't someone get me out of here
Won't someone get me out of here
I think I'm goin' insane
I think I'm goin' insane

"Who the fuck do you think you're talkin' to?"

I'm tryin' just as hard as I can
You know I'm tryin' but I can't - fight it
I really wish it would stop now
Wish it would stop

Won't someone get me out of here
Won't someone get me out
Get me out of here
I think I'm goin' insane
But I will take you with me
I think I'm goin' insane
But I will take you with me
I think I'm goin'
I think I'm goin'
I think I'm goin' insane

[Philsmith]

"What's mine"

"That's much more fun than the movies"

Well, here it is my accumulated treasure
My wealth, my riches, my love
My money, my pleasure

I know wherever I go somebody loves me
And I know and I know (Yes I know)

What's mine is mine is mine is mine
It's got to be mine and mine alone forever
What's mine is mine is mine is mine
It's got to be mine and mine alone forever
(Everyone seems to want what's mine alone)

You make a million you make two
Subtract all the money you own what's left is just you

But I know wherever I go somebody loves me, woohoo yeah yeah
And I know, yes I know

What's mine is mine is mine is mine
It's got to be mine and mine alone forever
What's mine is mine belongs to me
Is mine alone, it's got to be mine forever
(Take that cash and shove it up your ass)

"Accident (#2)"

(She moved so slow)
She moved so slow
Could feel her heart beat
She was lost in a dream
She was found in the street

(She moved so slow)
She must have been pushed by the hand of fate
One step too far she saw it too late

She got hit by a car
Hit by a car
Hit by a car
Hit by a car
Hit by a car
Hit by a car
Hit by a car
Hit by a car
Hit by a car
Hit by a car
Hit by a car

[Philsmith]

"Epitaph"

Instrumental

[Philsmith]

"Big Shot"

Hello Big Shot well how are you today?
You got a smile on your face - is everything ok?
Does everybody bow wherever you be
You may own the world but you can't own me, no

You'll make some big decisions, you'll make a Deal or two
Just look out of your window it all belongs to you

Well you killed opposition and you bought the press
You seem to be familiar with the secrets of success
If there's something you like you go out and buy it
But you can't buy me - and you'd better not try it

You're captain of your enterprise a so important man
But you should always keep in mind you're not invincible

I've seen bigger men fall
I've seen tougher men cry
I've seen better men die
Don't forget you're only mortal, you're only mortal after all

Hello Big Shot well how are you today?
The smile on your face it seems to fade away
Well, I hate your dress and the man underneath (schreckliches Englisch, meine Güte!)
If you smile at me again I gonna kick you in the teeth, yeah

You're captain of your enterprise a so important man
But you should try to realize you're not untouchable

I've seen bigger men crawl
I've seen tougher men cry
I've seen better men die
Don't forget you're only mortal, you're only mortal
After all these years you still don't understand what's goin' on
After all these years you still believe you know it all but you are wrong!
And I feel sorry for you

--> in rot gehalten Farin's Anmerkung aus der Mail, ich musste sooo lachen

[Philsmith]

"Crucifire"

"Please don't ever leave me"

Yeah
Ah

You spoke to me so many times
Of truth and love - forgive me

I've got nails in my eyes
I've got nails in my eyes
I've got nails in my eyes
I've got nails in my eyes
I'm blind

Where are you now, I cannot see
All by myself - so hear me

I've got nails in my eyes
I've got nails in my eyes
I've got nails in my eyes
I've got nails in my eyes
God help me

Oh yeah

How could you leave me in the moment when I needed you the most?
Why did you have to sacrifice your only son?

I've got nails in my eyes
I've got nails in my eyes
I've got nails in my eyes
I've got nails in my eyes yeah
Got nails in my eyes
I've got nails in my eyes
Got nails in my eyes
I've got nails in my, nails in my, nails in my eyes

Will you be my Crucifire?
Will you be my Crucifire?
Will you be my Crucifire?
Will you be my Crucifire?
Will you be my Crucifire?
Will you be my Crucifire?
Will you be my Crucifire?
Will you be my Crucifire?
