Die Aeronauten - Freundin

Die Band steht in der Ecke und sie spielen wieder Punkrock
Gegen den Klassenfeind und für den Revolutionären Block
Die Andern hängen auf dem Fenstersims
Und warten weiter auf die Naziskins
Aber |: Ich möchte lieber eine Freundin
Ich möchte lieber ein Mädchen kennenlernen

Meine Freunde sagen mir, ich solle mit ihnen gehn
Sie schlagen die Faschisten und ficken das System
Sie schreiben überall Sachen an die Wand
Sie hören Musik aus dem Baskenland
Aber |: Ich möchte lieber eine Freundin
Ich möchte lieber ein Mädchen kennenlernen

Ich ging nach Hause und die Naziskins schlugen mich flach
Sie traten mir in die Fresse, und einer von ihnen sprach
"Es wohnt keine Tugend mehr in meinem Herz
Es quält mich ein seltsamer Schmerz
|: Ich möchte lieber ein Freundin
Ich möchte lieber ein Mädchen kennenlernen

Guy Clark - Ballad of Laverne and Captain Flint. Great song, right from

Old Flint's got shrimp from the deep blue sea
And buckets of fish for you and me

to

Martha Martha won't you tell me please
That is not Laverne that I see
There on the deck of the "Miss Inclined"
With Captain Flint, I must be blind
Laverne girl what's the matter with you
Old Captain Flint put a spell on you

Still Guy Clark... Desperadoes Waiting on a Train. A song about the man "who was kinda like my grandfather, and he was really my grandmother's boyfriend".

From the time that I could walk he'd take me with him
To a bar called the Green Frog Cafe
And there'd be old men with beer guts and dominoes
Lyin' about their lives while they played (3rd verse)

[minionofmidas]

Oh, and this one is one for that "songs you're ashamed to like" or whatever it's called thread we had recently...it's so corny:

I Still Sing The Old Songs
By David Allan Coe

GRANDPA, I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT YOU LATELY
WONDERING IF YOU'D FOUND PEACE OF MIND
I GUESS YOU'D BE PROUD TO KNOW YOUR GRANDSONS
NEVER CROSSED THAT MASON-DIXON LINE

AND I STILL SING THE OLD SONGS THAT YOU TAUGHT ME
AND I STILL PRAY TO JESUS NOW AND THEN
AND JUST LIKE YOU I WISH THAT HE WOULD SAVE ME
TO SEE THE DAY THE SOUTH WILL RISE AGAIN

DADDY WORE HIS PURPLE HEART SO PROUDLY
LONG BEFORE I TURNED INTO A MAN
BURIED WITH OUR FLAG ACROSS HIS CASKET
I WAS STILL TOO YOUNG TO UNDERSTAND

MAMA SPENT HER LAST YEARS IN THE GARDEN
WHILE I TOOK MY TURN BEHIND THE GUN
LORD, I'D GIVE MY LIFE TO FIND THE FREEDOM
LOST WITHIN THE OLD SONGS THAT YOU SUNG

AND I STILL SING THE OLD SONGS THAT YOU TAUGHT ME
AND I STILL PRAY TO JESUS NOW AND THEN
AND JUST LIKE YOU I WISH THAT HE WOULD SAVE ME
TO SEE THE DAY THE SOUTH WILL RISE AGAIN

Not just did Coe spend his 20s in a rather more honorable profession than soldiering - that of habitual criminal - but he AIN'T NO SOUTHERNER. He was born and raised in Akron Ohio.

That thing about "check it out now, funk soul brother". I forget what it's called or who it's by, but it's in the background of this video: http://www.myvideo.de/watch/526875

Especially check the scene beginning at 4:03. Oh glory days...

The Rockafeller Skank by Fatboy Slim has those lyrics (but I haven't checked the link yet).

Yeah, that's it.
