TRANSCRIPTION STILL IN PROGRESS
Deutsche Welle, Neue Welle
I came to town four years ago
To play those records that you all know
I brought Foreigner, Styx, and Queen
American music from my machine
I played rock against race and rock against junk
And rock against everything but funk
But rock was dead, rock was a drug
It was just about time to pull the plug
Deutsche Welle, Neue Welle
I heard a demo tape from TVC
And the Berlin wave washed over me
While the wall city rockеrs were starting to go
A brand new star from thе DDR
Nina Hagen jumped the wall
Teamed up with the Lok and the record broke
They began to smoke, but Nina split
So they rolled a Spliff and made the best of it
Nina Hagen 〈.?.〉
Interzone, 〈spiel ?〉
I love that Deutsche Welle
I was really flipped out, I was so amazed
When 〈.?.〉 became the new teenage craze
Fehlfarben plays the German way
ZeitGeist, 〈.?.〉, and Bel Ami
Berlin 〈.?.〉 you and me
Trio, Nicht, and 〈.?.〉
The radio station playing all of them
HR, 〈.?.〉 SFB
You can even hear the 〈.?.〉 on the BBC
You have 〈.?.〉 and double talk
And everybody doing the African walk
You got Rasta mans and Rasta fans
And all the time money was the master plan
〈.?.〉 auf Berlin
And Deutsche Marks keep rolling in
Nina Hagen 〈.?.〉
Interzone, 〈noch einmal?〉
I love that Deutsche Welle
Hey, uh 〈.?.〉, hast du die neue Platte von den Insisters?
Nein? 〈.?.〉?
Hey man, I want the new record from the Insisters!
I gotta have it, I need it!
Deutsche Welle
Nina Hagen 〈.?.〉
Interzone, 〈noch einmal?〉
I love that Deutsche Welle
The Germans thought it would really be fine
To make music for their own kind
Before you knew it 〈.?.〉
They were making more sound than you can jam in a woofer
Practice rooms and practice halls
And plastic moves and spastic 〈.?.〉
And Swift had a hit after 13 tries
Neon babies and Interzone
And 〈.?.〉 doing business on the phone
Work that phone 〈.?.〉
Love that Deutsche Welle man
Can’t get enough
Of that German stuff
Give me some more
I want to hear from Interzone 〈.?.〉 and 〈.?.〉
And a whole shelf full of German records in my house
I’m gonna play every one of them tonight
And jam the 〈.?.〉 of my nose
Gonna be a good night for German music in my place
Come on, we’ll have some fun together
