Lusthansa - Nur Fjutscha - Gib Mir Deine Hitze

One of my lost and found tracks / productions from the 80s - written and produced by Peter Heckmann - originally released on Vinyl by Constant Records in 1986 - Frankfurt, Germany. Remastered and re-released by Peter Heckmann for Rose Records and Publishing in 2016.

Tidbit: I was asked about the software synths used. There are none - this track was played with real hardware onto 2" tape: Wolfgang Palm's original PPG 2.3 Wavestation, an original OSCar Monosynth and self-burned Eproms as sounds for a Simmons SDS7 - with guitar solo by Peter Weihe and vocals by Alexandra Graf (Sarah Dean) - all recorded at Fred Schreier's Europasound Studio in Frankfurt, Germany - tracked and mixed by Tobias Freund.

Timewarp Baby

Time making music is time well spent in these crazy times. ❤️🎶

Sometimes I dream I can fly
Sometimes I dream I can soar

And maybe
When I close my eyes
We can meet in the sky
No gravity
No gravity
Holding us down

Sometimes I dream I have wings
They are beautiful 

Chorus

The stars are dancing
The stars are dancing

No gravity...
No gravity...
Holding us down

Dedicated to Sander. ❤️

NO GRAVITY

So close but yet so far - we're reaching for a star - it's at our fingertips - we ignore who we really are - the truth is in my eyes - but you never look my way - you're so pre-occupied - going on with your day - I'm peeking in your room to see if you're awake - please don't make pretend - oh how my body aches - you're reaching for your phone - it's not me on the other end - does he really make you smile - can he give you everything
got so much time for him - time to throw away - wish you'd make him your past and spend some time today - cause baby we got time - time to see this through - if you've got time for me - then i got time for you
When did this go wrong - the two of us to blame - can you sleep at night - or do you feel ashamed - cause i know that I'm ashamed with all this fight in me - i still procrastinate - precious time is fleeting - if you just pick up your head - take one look at my face - it'll all come back to you - you let me take my place - so i sit and watch you sleep - cause i'd like to spend some time - oh how my body weeps - can't have what isn't mine
Chorus
We're bent but we're no broken - we're tired but we're awake - exchange cautionary glances - at what point will we break - i need some of your time - i miss you terribly - I'm in the other room - come and spend some time with me
chorus

(Lyrics)

------ Verse -----
You can treat me like a dog i'm your animal
smell of blood in the air makes us lose control
i won't give into reason the pure were always grieving 
------ Hook ------
Coming up closer to the end
look you in the eyes think back to when
everything was within our reach
now we're lucky if we speak
----- Chorus -----
What's it gonna be this time
are you gonna fall in line
everything was out of control

what's it gonna be this time
are you gonna say goodbye
i can't hold on if you let go
---- Hook ----
Coming up closer to the end
look you in the eyes just don't pretend
nothing left to be destroyed 
in this game we're just some toys
---- Verse ----
Got you begging on your knees 
now you'll come for me
everything i ever needed hidden in your scream
it could be pain or pleasure
we'll suffer here forever

You always told me so i was just your animal
thought i'd let you know you were just my animal

I'm Your Animal
