Wanted to post yesterday already, but SU server needed looong time to react to mouse clicks - today it´s better
.
Now you know, unieno
, what impression german youth today gets about CCR singing about gnus
. They must be thinking, all the grown ups were crazy, when they were young(er).
Was afraid with Groenemeyer song perhaps being "not available in your country"
(like your CCR video, for me in germany). I hoped there was a chance, but wasn´t sure, when I posted it.
Perhaps this live version is available:

Glad to hear, that you enjoyed the studio version, that was not available for unieno, renee
. Perhaps you´ll like the live version, too.
Hope you´ll soon get your fast pc back and of course, you´re right - there could be more news about egypt on german tv. There are only reports in the regular news (nearly every hour or two hours on ARD or ZDF and there are additional news on news channels - but one really has to search for them - I just zapped between about 50 channels in order to find s.th. about egypt without a positve result - must be a torture for people, who have family/ friends over there.
Hope the country will come back to peace again, soon and people will get the chance to live in democracy.
I dare to post another Groenemeyer because yesterday, when I found it, I was so overwhelmed by the beauty of its lyrics, that I thought:
not understanding the lyrics of
BOCHUM would be sad, but not fatal
not understanding the lyrics of
FLUGZEUGE IN MEINEM BAUCH (airplanes in my belly) would be a catastrophe.
It´s a kind of lovesong as well as the opposite of it. The singer expresses a mixture of loss (of his love), hate and anger for this beloved one, because she reacts emotionless towards him.

Shadow in the (your) view/look
your smile is painted (onto your face)
your thaughts are not with me any more
you caress me mechanically
totally sterile
icecold hand
I dread you
I feel empty and used
up
everything hurts
have airplanes in my belly
can´t eat a thing
can´t forget you
but I´ll succeed in this (one day)
<refrain - sung together with the audience...>
give me back my heart
You don´t need my love
give me back my heart
before it breaks to pieces
the sooner, the sooner you go
the easier, the easier it will get for me
---
nobody who tortures me
nobody who crushes me
nobody who uses me, when (s)he wants
nobody who only talks to me because (s)he has a sense of duty
who only quenches his (her) own vanity with me
nobody who is never present
when you need him (her) the most
when you gasp (for air)
when you´re left high and dry
let me go
oooh, leave me alone
to make an end (to the circumstances and the pain he feels)
<refrain>
