Real Thurgovian Funk

No we ain’t from Zurich
No we ain’t Berne
We don’t come from Geneva
We ain’t from Lucerne
We ain’t from no city
We don’t want that junk
We only want the real stuff
Real Thurgovian Funk
Everybody’s building
Big ships and boats
Some are building monuments
Others jotting down notes
But the monuments fell
And the ships, they sunk
And we’re sitting in the bunker
Playing Real Thurgovian Funk
They all have their money
We’ve got our fruits
And we wear those working clothes
We don’t want no suits
Sodom and Gomorrah die
And we’re on Noah’s Ark
With our groove we play
Real Thurgovian Funk
This is a man’s world
But we got the funky drummer
On guitar is a sex machine
And the bass is a jammer
All the elephants have
Knots in their trunk
But they don’t know we’re playing
Real Thurgovian Funk
No we ain’t from Zurich
No we ain’t Berne
We don’t come from Geneva
We ain’t from Lucerne
We ain’t from no city
We don’t want that junk
We only want the real stuff

Funk mit Brot

There was a woman
In the bible days
She was sick, sick
Sick all day long
And when she heard
James Brown was passing by
She joined
The gathering throng
And when she was pushing
Her way through
Someone asked her
What are you trying to do
And then she said...
She said...
She said...
She said...
If I could only hear
The funk from his mouth
I could me made whole
Right now, right now
She spent her money
Here and there
‘till she had no more
Money to spare
The doctors
They did all they could
But their medicine
Did no good
But when she heard him
The savior didn’t see
Then he turned around and said
“Somebody just heard me”
And she said...
She said...
She said...
She said...
It was I
Who heard the Funk from your mouth
And I was made whole
Right now, right now

Get Naked

Get naked my love
Show me the structure that you’re made of
I can’t recall how long it’s been
Since I haven’t seen your skin
In your blackness let me enter
Until I can reach your centre
With your whiteness penetrate me
I know you haven’t been there lately
Body to body let us fuse
It’s been so long, no time to lose
I know exactly what we got to do
You in me and me in you
It’s just with you that I feel complete
I’m just an empty shell, a piece of meat
Take off your clothes my love
There’s something we got to do
You and me and me in you
Your perfection wrapped in clothes
That beauty always in the shadows
You are like a sea of jewels
Perfect arrangement of molecules
Body to body let us fuse
It’s been so long, no time to lose
I know exactly what we got to do
You in me and me in you
It’s just with you that I feel complete
I’m just an empty shell, a piece of meat
Take off your clothes my love
There’s something we got to do
You and me and me in you

Stars
05:29

To the universe
Just you and me
Leave it all behind
We gonna see
Laying side by side
All the stars are shining bright
Above us the whole night
I hold you very very tight
I know you’ll shine forever
Most beautiful girl there is
I know that we belong together
So I gave you a kiss
We’re gonna go far baby
Just you and me
To the moon and back
Everything we’re gonna see
I’ll show you the universe
Mars, Mercury and Venus
And why don’t we just take a look
Maybe even at Uranus
Let’s go to the stars, baby
‘till the end of space
Do you wanna be my star, lady?
‘till the end of days
E equals M C square
Baby I don’t really care
As long as I can love you
We can go just anywhere
I wanna go tell
All the parallel versions of us
That no matter how much they love you
I’m the one that loves you most
Natural laws baby
That’s not enough
‘cause physics don’t matter here
Our science is love
Velocity of C
That’s how fast we’ll be
Let’s stop time together
That’s relativity
Fuse, to become
One light ray
I’ll be the particle baby
You be the wave
Don’t need no gasoline
No electricity
Your kisses are the fuel
Our love the energy
Let’s go to the stars, baby
‘till the end of space
Do you wanna be my star, lady?
‘till the end of days

Farmer Croc
04:07

|
He got up in the morning
And he ate his Farmer Croc
And then he had a thing in his head
That wasn’t the groove of rock
He ignored this feeling
All day long
But he could not get out
This ominous song
Since then he was caught
And the called it the Funk
To his body it was brought
By the great man of Funk
So he called it the Funk
I wasn’t what he knew
From the people of every day
It wasn’t the normal thing
The radio’d play
It had a groove
The beat of the drums
The bass it was a’ jumping
And in his veins it runs
Since then he was caught
And the called it the Funk
To his body it was brought
By the great man of Funk
So he called it the Funk
And since then
He was reborn
Just like a baby boy
The Funk
he conceived
But from the music of joy
So he raised his voice
To the universe it would reach
And with the power of music
It was the funkadelic screech
Since then he was caught
And the called it the Funk
To his body it was brought
By the great man of Funk
So he called it the Funk

La vida es triste
Y abburida
Y sin allegria
Nos falta
una fruta
De magia
Guanabana
Guanabana
Guanabana
Guanabana
Hay guerra, presidentes y innocentes
Reinos, leyes y protistas
Cobre, oro y plata
Por eso la gente mata
Todo eso solo es
bla bla bla bla
sin la Guanabana
Ho parlato con persone
Stupide come un cetriolo
Allora me ne sono andato
E mi sento molto solo
Pero questo lo
E l’ho vedo tutto il giorno
Che non c’e più un Virgilio
Che ci guida nell’ inferno
Ma una cosa c’e
Che mi aiuta e lo so
La cosa che devo fare
E andare a prenderlo
Lui mi aiuta tutti i giorni
Nella vita quotidiana
E la magica verdura
Che si chiama Guanabana
E un frutto tropicale
Che si chiama Guanabana
E la cosa che non so
Che si chiama Guanabana
Todo eso solo es
bla bla bla bla
sin la Guanabana
El fantastico Manuelito!
Es la major medicina
De America Latina
Sin ella no existe
Ni vida
No, no, no,
No, no, no hay allegria
Y nos falta esa divercion
Con el leon
Todo eso solo es
bla bla bla bla
sin la Guanabana
Pingamadre fertig!

I hear it calling
Right through the rain
They days are short
But this doesn’t mean we will abstain
I am aware, That the
times have changed the game
But the heartbeat baby
Still beats the same
I feel this magnet
It’s pulling me to you
When the music’s right
There is nothing I can do
My feet start sliding
Me into your direction
Even though it’s dark and foggy
I can feel this attraction
You’re just right there
All your pieces in the right place
That’s called perfection
When you have that smile in your face
We must be in the
same groove baby
‘cause the way you look at me
you also feel it calling
So we got To follow the
Call
Of the disco ball
It ain’t hard brothers and sisters
Keep on moving through the night
Plug the plug into the socket
We gotta drop in the boogie light
The force between us
Has pulled me all through the room
My nose is so close to yours
It’s gonna touch it soon
All the dark matter of the space
Can’t keep me from following the bass
That leads me straight to you
‘cause that must be the place
You’re just right there
All your pieces in the right place
That’s called perfection
When you have that smile in your face
We must be in the
same groove baby
‘cause the way you look at me
you also feel it calling
So we got To follow the
Call
Of the disco ball
It ain’t hard brothers and sisters
Keep on moving through the night
Plug the plug into the socket
We gotta drop in the boogie light

Radio Devil
04:18

All the consumers
Of the usual sounds
Hypnotized
By the Radio Devil
Look how they
Follow his lead
Always staying
On the same level
But oh
Satan of Sound
Let them go
From your catchy refrain
We don’t want to hear
No senseless sound
We don’t want to be
Controlled in our brains
Well can you hear him
Dissolved in the air
He lays his eggs
In our empty ears
His hidden in the schools
In the supermarkets
And his grubs
Stay in us for years
We know his music
We follow his lead
And we’re not even
Realizing
That the melody
Of the mainstream Mephisto
Our groove
It is tantalizing
And we’ll fight back
With the same old weapon
With this crazy thing
That we call the Funk

Telephone

Sometimes she calls me in the morning
Then I miss my train and I don’t get shaved
Sometimes she calls me at the office
Then I cannot wok and I don’t get payed
Sometimes she calls me and we have a fight
But anytime she phones I feel fine
Oh boy I can tell you for sure:
This girl is mine
Once there was a time nobody had a phone
Old Phil was in love but he still was alone
He wrote his girl everyday a letter
But he never got a date and he couldn’t
write much better
He took wires, hammer and some glue
He invent the phone, I’m sure its true
He called the girls, she heard the, she
couldn’t resist
She had no choice
My baby got a telephone
She calls me all the time
When I hear her voice , I have no choice
I forget everything on my mind
Sometimes she calls me in the morning
Then I miss my train and I don’t get shaved
Sometimes she calls me at the office
Then I cannot wok and I don’t get payed
Sometimes she calls me and we have a fight
But anytime she phones I feel fine
Oh boy I can tell you for sure:
This girl is mine
My baby got a telephone
She calls me all the time
When I hear her voice , I have no choice
I forget everything on my mind
Somebody is calling me
I think its my baby
I don’t know what to do
I need your help ...
My baby got a telephone
She calls me all the time
When I hear her voice , I have no choice
I forget everything on my mind

Nothing Sexual
07:01

Venus in a sweater
From nineteen eighty-three
Looking so good
Waking my curiosity
I wanna know
How your lower back looks like
I wanna see how your belly button’s knotted
Just if I might
I know a lot of people want you
And I can understand why
But babe don’t think I’m one of them
I’m just a curious guy, so
This is nothing sexual
Please don’t get me wrong
I’m just curious to know
How you look without those clothes on
Introduce my mouth
To all your favourite bits and pieces
I wanna smell all the smells
That your body releases
I wanna get lost in your jungles
Go on your oddissey
Wander the hills and the valleys
Of your physical geography
I know a lot of people want you
And I can understand why
But babe don’t think I’m one of them
I’m just a curious guy, so
This is nothing sexual
Please don’t get me wrong
I’m just curious to know
How you look without those clothes on

Wonk Them

Let it seep
Into your tissue
I know that as you came in here
You thought it wouldn’t be an issue
But as the beat hooked up your heart
And your mind began to leave you
Your head got free
And your ass began to follow too
Let’s wonk them
Just To see
the look on their face
Wonk them
you gotta know a wonker
knows his place
Let it seep
Into your tissue
I know that as you came in here
You thought it wouldn’t be an issue
You could have left before
But now it’s too late
You know that getting wonked
Is not to underestimate
Let’s wonk them
Just To see
the look on their face
Wonk them
you gotta know a wonker
knows his place
