The Bauwagen Years
HEY! HEY!
TURN
IT
UP! Those were the Bauwagen years!
A little wagon, a place to meet,
A thousand rhythms, a pounding beat.
One song was fast,
the next was loud,
We didn't care what was allowed.
A kick drum shaking through the night,
Then heavy guitars taking flight.
From dancefloor beats to rock and roll,
We played whatever moved our souls.
One track made you move your feet,
The next one made you bang your head.
Different sounds, the same old place,
And one more song before we left!
HEY! Those were the Bauwagen years!
A thousand songs still ringing in my ears!
From a pounding beat to a screaming guitar,
We went everywhere without going far!
HEY! Those were the Bauwagen days!
Different sounds in the same old place!
Turn it up till the whole world disappears,
Take me back to the Bauwagen years!
Some songs were wild,
some songs were strange,
The music never stayed the same.
A four-on-the-floor, a wall of sound,
Another CD spinning round.
No backstage pass, no fancy lights,
Just music filling up our nights.
We didn't need to pick one side,
There was room for every kind of ride.
One track made you move your feet,
The next one made you bang your head.
Different sounds, the same old place,
And one more song before we left!
HEY! Those were the Bauwagen years!
A thousand songs still ringing in my ears!
From a pounding beat to a screaming guitar,
We went everywhere without going far!
HEY! Those were the Bauwagen days!
Different sounds in the same old place!
Turn it up till the whole world disappears,
Take me back to the Bauwagen years!
Now the years keep rolling on,
And half those nights feel almost gone.
But let an old familiar song
Come through the speakers loud and strong.
One little riff, one driving beat,
And suddenly I'm back there again.
The music takes me down that road,
To where we used to meet back then.
HEY! THOSE WERE THE BAUWAGEN YEARS!
A thousand songs still ringing in my ears!
From a pounding beat to a screaming guitar,
We went everywhere without going far!
HEY! THOSE WERE THE BAUWAGEN DAYS!
Different sounds in the same old place!
Turn it up till the whole world disappears,
Take me back to the Bauwagen years!
One more song!
One more time!
Those were the Bauwagen years!
