Mitsingkonzert, Fam. Bockelmann 15.02.2025

On the first part of the journey
I was looking at all the life
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
There was sand and hills and rings

The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz
And the sky with no clouds
The heat was hot, and the ground was dry
But the air was full of sound

Refrain
I’ve been through the desert
On a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert, you can remember your name
‚Cause there ain’t no one for to give you no pain

La la la la….

After two days in the desert sun
My skin began to turn red
After three days in the desert fun
I was looking at a river bed
And the story it told of a river that flowed
Made me sad to think it was dead

Refrain

After nine days, I let the horse run free
‚Cause the desert had turned to sea
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
There was sand and hills and rings

The ocean is a desert with it’s life underground
And a perfect disguise above
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground
But the humans will give no love

Refrain

Don’t go changing, to try and please me
You never let me down before
Don’t imagine you’re too familiar
And I don’t see you anymore

I wouldn’t leave you in times of trouble
We never could have come this far
I took the good times, I’ll take the bad times
I’ll take you just the way you are

Don’t go trying some new fashion
Don’t change the color of your hair
You always have my unspoken passion
Although I might not seem to care

I don’t want clever conversation
I never want to work that hard
I just want someone that I can talk to
I want you just the way you are.

I need to know that you will always be
The same old someone that I knew
That will it take till you believe in me
The way that I believe in you.

I said I love you and that’s forever
And this I promise from the heart
I could not love you any better
I love you just the way you are.

Solo

I don’t want clever conversation
I never want to work that hard
I just want someone that I can talk to
I want you just the way you are.

We’d like to know a little bit about you for our files
We’d like to help you learn to help yourself
Look around you, all you see are sympathetic eyes
Stroll around the grounds until you feel at home

Hide it in a hiding place where no one ever goes
Put it in your pantry with your cupcakes
It’s a little secret, just the Robinson’s affair
Most of all, you’ve got to hide it from the kids

Sitting on a sofa on a Sunday afternoon
Going to the candidates debate
Laugh about it, shout about it
When you’ve got to choose
Every way you look at this, you lose

Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh

Mama take this badge off of me
I can’t use it anymore
It’s getting dark, too dark to see
I feel I’m knockin‘ on heaven’s door

Knock-knock-knockin‘ on heaven’s door
Knock-knock-knockin‘ on heaven’s door
Knock-knock-knockin‘ on heaven’s door
Knock-knock-knockin‘ on heaven’s door

Mama put my guns in the ground
I can’t shoot them anymore
That long black cloud is comin‘ down
I feel I’m knockin‘ on heaven’s door

Is it getting better?
Or do you feel the same?
Will it make it easier on you now?
You got someone to blame

Did I disappoint you?
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth?
You act like you never had love
And you want me to go without

Have you come here for forgiveness?
Have you come to raise the dead?
Have you come here to play Jesus?
To the lepers in your head

You say love is a temple, love a higher law
Love is a temple, love the higher law
You ask me to enter but then you make me crawl
And I can’t be holdin‘ on to what you got
When all you got is hurt

Wonderwall (Oasis)

Today is gonna be the day that they’re gonna throw it back to you
By now you should’ve somehow realized what you gotta do
I don’t believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now

Backbeat the word is on the street that the fire in your heart is out
I’m sure you’ve heard it all before but you never really had a doubt
I don’t believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now

Today was gonna be the day but they’ll never throw it back to you
By now you should’ve somehow realized what you’re not to do
I don’t believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now

Take a look at my girlfriend
She’s the only one I got
Not much of a girlfriend
I’ve never seem to get a lot

Take a jumbo across the water
Like to see America
See the girls in California
I’m hopin‘, it’s going to come true
But there’s not a lot, I can do

Could we have kippers for breakfast
Mummy dear, Mummy dear
They got to have ‚em in Texas
‚Cos everyone’s a millionaire

I‚m a winner, I’m a sinner
Do you want my autograph
I’m a loser, what a joker
I’m playing my jokes upon you
While there’s nothin‘ better to do

Hey, dadada…..

Don’t you look at my girlfriend (Girlfriend)
She’s the only one I got
Not much of a girlfriend (Girlfriend)
I’ve never seem to get a lot (What she got in another land)

Got a wife and kids in Baltimore, Jack
I went out for a ride and I never went back
Like a river that don’t know where it’s flowing
I took a wrong turn and I just kept going

I met her in a Kingstown bar
We fell in love, I knew it had to end
We took what we had and we ripped it apart
Now here I am down in Kingstown again

La-la-la-la-la-la, oh yeah
La-la-la-la-la-la

Everybody needs a place to rest
Everybody wants to have a home
Don’t make no difference what nobody says
Ain’t nobody like to be alone

Oh yeah
(Everybody’s got a hungry heart)
(Lay down your money and you play your part)
Oh yeah
(Everybody’s got a hungry heart)
La-la-la-la-la-la
Ooh yeah
La-la-la-la-la-la

Love is a burning thing
And it makes a fiery ring
Bound by wild desire
I fell into a ring of fire

I fell into a burning ring of fire
I went down, down, down
And the flames went higher
And it burns, burns, burns
The ring of fire
The ring of fire

I fell into a burning ring of fire
I went down, down, down
And the flames went higher
And it burns, burns, burns
The ring of fire
The ring of fire

The taste of love is sweet
When hearts like ours meet
I fell for you like a child
Oh, but the fire went wild

||:I fell into a burning ring of fire
I went down, down, down
And the flames went higher
And it burns, burns, burns
The ring of fire
The ring of fire:||

And it burns, burns, burns
The ring of fire
The ring of fire
The ring of fire
The ring of fire

So Long, Marianne (Leonard Cohen)

Come over to the window, my little darling
I′d like to try to read your palm
I used to think I was some kind of gypsy boy
Before I let you take me home

Well, you know that I love to live with you
But you make me forget so very much
I forget to pray for the angels
And then the angels forget to pray for us

We met when we were almost young
Deep in the green lilac park
You held on to me like I was a crucifix
As we went kneeling through the dark

Your letters, they all say that you’re beside me now
Then why do I feel alone?
I′m standing on a ledge and your fine spider web
Is fastening my ankle to a stone

For now, I need your hidden love‘
I’m cold as a new razor blade
You left when I told you I was curious
I never said that I was brave

Oh, you are really such a pretty one
I see you’ve gone and changed your name again
And just when I climbed this whole mountainside
To wash my eyelids in the rain


Angels (Robbie Williams)

I sit and wait
Does an angel contemplate my fate
And do they know
The places where we go
When we’re grey and old
‚Cause I have been told
That salvation lets their wings unfold

So when I’m lying in my bed
Thoughts running through my head
And I feel the love is dead
I’m loving angels instead

Refrain
And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I’m right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won’t break me
When I come to call, she won’t forsake me
I’m loving angels instead

When I’m feeling weak
And my pain walks down a one way street
I look above
And I know I’ll always be blessed with love
And as the feeling grows
She breathes flesh to my bones
And when love is dead
I’m loving angels instead

Refrain

Solo

Refrain



Buddy, you’re a boy, make a big noise
Playing in the street, gonna be a big man someday
You got mud on your face, you big disgrace
Kicking your can all over the place, singin‘

Buddy, you’re a young man, hard man
Shouting in the street, gonna take on the world someday
You got blood on your face, you big disgrace
Waving your banner all over the place

Buddy, you’re an old man, poor man
Pleading with your eyes,
Gonna make you some peace someday
You got mud on your face, big disgrace
Somebody better put you back into your place

I’ve paid my dues
Time after time
I’ve done my sentence
But committed no crime

And bad mistakes
I’ve made a few
I’ve had my share of sand
Kicked in my face
But I’ve come through

I’ve taken my bows
And my curtain calls
You brought me fame and fortune
And everything that goes with it
I thank you all
But it’s been no bed of roses
No pleasure cruiseI
consider it a challenge before the human race
And I ain’t gonna lose


Mit 18 (Marius Müller-Westernhagen)

Ich hab ’n Luxus-Auto
Und ich hab ’ne teure Wohnung
(Doch was mir fehlt, doch was mir fehlt)
Das ist ’ne richtige Dröhnung

Hey, mit 18 rannt ich in Düsseldorf rum
War Sänger in ’ner Rock and Roll Band
Meine Mutter nahm mir das immer krumm
Ich sollt was seriöses werden

Wir verdienten vierhundert Mark pro Auftritt
Für ’ne Rolling Stones Kopie
Die Gitarren verstimmt und es ging tierisch los
Und wir hielten uns für Genies

Refrain:
Ich möcht zurück auf die Straße
Möcht wieder singen, nicht schön, sondern geil und laut
Gold find‘ man bekanntlich im Dreck
Und Straßen sind aus Dreck gebaut

Ja, nach jedem Gig zum Hühner-Hugo
Dort verfraßen wir unser Geld
Was soll man schon machen mit den paar Mark
Ich hab ’nen Verstärker bestellt, ja ja

Refrain

An Mädchen hat es uns nie gemangelt
Auch ohne dickes Konto
Wir kratzten den letzten Dope zusammen
Dann flogen wir ab nach… wohin du willst

Refrain

Jetzt sitz ich hier, bin etabliert
Und schreib auf teurem Papier
Ein Lied über meine Vergangenheit
Damit ich den Frust verlier

Refrain

Du-du-duhh, du-du-duhh, du-du-du-dduh, du-du-du-dduh
Du-du-duhh, du-du-duhh, du-du-du-dduh, du-du-du-dduh (yeah)

Wenn der Sommer nicht mehr weit ist
und der Himmel violett,
weiß ich, dass das meine Zeit ist,
weil die Welt dann wieder breit ist,
satt und ungeheuer fett.

Wenn der Sommer nicht mehr weit ist
und die Luft nach Erde schmeckt,
ist’s egal, ob man gescheit ist,
wichtig ist, dass man bereit ist
und sein Fleisch nicht mehr versteckt.

Und dann will ich, was ich tun will, endlich tun.
An Genuss bekommt man nämlich nie zu viel.
Nur man darf nicht träge sein und darf nicht ruhn,
denn Genießen war noch nie ein leichtes Spíel.

Wenn der Sommer nicht mehr weit ist
und der Himmel ein Opal,
weiß ich, dass das meine Zeit ist,
weil die Welt dann wie ein Weib ist
und die Lust schmeckt nicht mehr schal.

Wenn mein Ende nicht mehr weit ist,
ist der Anfang schon gemacht.
Weil’s dann keine Kleinigkeit ist,
ob die Zeit verta’ne Zeit ist,
die man mit sich zugebracht.

Und dann will ich was ich tun will, endlich tun.
An Genuss bekommt man nämlich nie zu viel.
Nur, man darf nicht träge sein und darf nicht ruh’n,
denn Genießen war noch nie ein leichtes Spiel.


Dann ist alles still, ich geh
Regen durchdringt meine Jacke
Irgendjemand kocht Kaffee
In der Luftaufsichtsbaracke
In den Pfützen schwimmt Benzin
Schillernd wie ein Regenbogen
Wolken spiegeln sich darin
Ich wär gern mitgeflogen

It was a hot summer night
And the beach was burning
There was fog crawling over the sand
When I listen to your heart
I hear the whole world turning
I see the shooting stars
Falling through your trembling hands

You were licking your lips and your lipstick shining
I was dying just to ask for a taste
We were lying together in a silver lining
By the light of the moon
You know there’s not another moment
Not another moment, not another moment to waste

You hold me so close that my knees grow weak
But my soul is flying high above the ground
I’m trying to speak, but no matter what I do
I just can’t seem to make any sound

And then you took the words right out of my mouth
Oh, it must have been while you were kissing me
You took the words right out of my mouth
And I swear it’s true
I was just about to say I love you (love you)


And then you took the words right out of my mouth
Oh-it must have been while you were kissing me
You took the words right out of my mouth
And I swear it’s true
I was just about to say I love you (love you)

Now my body is shaking like a wave on the water
And I guess that I′m beginning to grin
Oh, we’re finally alone and we can do what we want to
Oh, the night is young, ain′t no one gonna know where
No one gonna know where
No one’s gonna know where you′ve been

Oh, you were licking your lips and your lipstick’s shining
I was dying just to ask for a taste
Oh, we were lying together in a silver lining
By the the light of the moon
You know there′s not another moment to waste

And then you took the words right out of my mouth
Oh, it must have been while you were kissing me


You’ve Got A Friend (Carole King)

When you’re down in troubles
And you need some love and care
And nothing, oh nothing is going right

Close your eyes and think of me
And soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest night

Refrain
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I’ll come running to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you got to do is call
And I will be there
Yes I will
(You’ve got a friend)

If the sky above you
Should turn dark and full of clouds
And that old north wind should begin to blow

Keep your head together
And call my name out loud
Soon you’ll hear me knocking at your door

Refrain

Ain’t it good to know that you’ve got a friend
When people can be so cold
They’ll hurt you and desert you
And take your soul if you let them
Oh, but don’t you let them

Refrain

||:You’ve got a friend:|| 4x
||:Ain’t it good to know:|| 3x
You’ve got a friend 

Jraaduss (BAP)

Manchmol setz ich he roem un ich frooch mich, woroem
et su kumme moot, wie et kohm, wie et jetz ess
un ich saach mer, dat et irgendwo wiggerjonn muss, jraaduss.
Noch haeng ding Bild ahn der Wand un maeht mich rejelraesch krank

Avv un zo merk ich dann, wie joot et dunn kann,

Dann weet alles verdraeng, weil sons nix mieh jet bring,
weil sons himmelblau grau weet und mir alles zovill weet
weil em jedem Jedanke e Bild vun dir steck, jank weg.

We woor schoen, et woor joot, ahm Eng e bessje ze koot,

’ne Film ohne Schluss, wo nix ess wie et muss, jraaduss.
Denk ens aff un zo dran, ahn dat wat met noch hann,
wat uns keiner mieh nemp, weil et wohr ess un stemp,
ahn dan Stoeck ‚Ich‘ vun dir un dat Stoeck ‚Do‘ von mir, jraaduss.


Hey Jude (The Beatles)

Hey Jude, don’t make it bad
Take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better

Hey Jude, don’t be afraid
You were made to go out and get her
The minute you let her under your skin
Then you begin to make it better

And anytime you feel the pain, hey Jude, refrain
Don’t carry the world upon your shoulders
For well you know that it’s a fool who plays it cool
By making his world a little colder
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah

Hey Jude, don’t let me down
You have found her, now go and get her
Remember to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better

So let it out and let it in, hey Jude, begin
You’re waiting for someone to perform with
And don’t you know that it’s just you, hey Jude, you’ll do
The movement you need is on your shoulder
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah yeah

Hey Jude, don’t make it bad
Take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her under your skin
Then you’ll begin to make it better
Better – better – better – better – better – woah!

Na na na na-na-na-naa
Na-na-na-naa, hey, Jude
Na na na na-na-na-naa
Na-na-na-naa, hey, Jude


Gute Nacht Freunde (Reinhard Mey)

Für den Tag, für die Nacht unter eurem Dach habt Dank
Für den Platz an eurem Tisch, für jedes Glas, das ich trank
Für den Teller, den ihr mir zu den euren stellt
Als sei selbstverständlicher nichts auf der Welt

Refrain

Habt Dank für die Zeit, die ich mit euch verplaudert hab
Und für eure Geduld, wenn’s mehr als eine Meinung gab
Dafür, dass ihr nie fragt, wann ich komm oder geh
Für die stets offene Tür, in der ich jetzt steh

Refrain

Für die Freiheit, die als steter Gast bei euch wohnt
Habt Dank, dass ihr nie fragt, was es bringt, ob es lohnt
Vielleicht liegt es daran, dass man von draußen meint
Dass in euren Fenstern das Licht wärmer scheint

Refrain 2x
