Album:

What´s All This (Englisch)

Sun still fighting
through smoke and steam
life here's better
than you could ever dream
life here's better
life here's better
i know you're no beauty
for work's lined your face
you don't like wearing make-up
you're an honest place
where the human race
isn't always in competition 


Your heartbeat's of metal
it hammers out through the night
the foundation of prosperity
you're a working town
don't let them put you down
you bloom in your own way 


Bochum i call you home
Bochum you're in my bones
oh, glück auf - my home 


You're not a neon playground
there are no fashion shows here
you're not a postcard for the tourists
here it's the heart that counts
not the size of bank accounts
you've never sold yourself away 


Bochum i call you home
Bochum you're in my bones
oh, glück auf - my home 


May your smile shine on forever
through the cold dust it gleams
be proud of your tiny gardens
proud of your traffic lights
proud of your chimney-stacks
proud of your football team! 


Bochum i call you home
Bochum you're in my bones
oh, glück auf - my home 


Oh, glück auf
oh, glück auf
oh, glück auf - my home
