Men at Work - It's A Mistake

Hier meine zwei Lieblingssongs der australische Gruppe "Men at work":

It's A Mistake

Damals, anfang der 80ger, war die Welt noch "einfach", mit dem kalten Krieg.

Down Under


Die kraftvolle und klare Stimme des Liedsängers Colin Hay ist einfach genial.

DOWN UNDER
Traveling in a fried-out combie
On a hippie trail head full of zombie
I met a strange lady she made me nervous
She took me in and gave me breakfast and she said

Do you come from a land down under
Where women glow and men plunder
Can't you hear can't you hear the thunder
You better run you better take cover

Buying bread from a man in Brussels
He was six-foot-four and full of muscles
I said "Do you speak my language"
He just smiled and gave me a Vegemite sandwich and he said

I come from a land down under
Where beer does flow and men chunder
Can't you hear can't you hear the thunder
You better run you better take cover

Lying in a den in Bombay
With a slack jaw and not much to say
I said to the man "Are you trying to tempt me
Because I come from the land of plenty" and he said

Do you come from a land down under
Where women glow and men plunder
Can't you hear can't you hear the thunder
You better run you better take cover

Living in a land down under
Where women glow and men plunder
Can't you hear can't you hear the thunder
You better run you better take cover

Living in a land down under
Where women glow and men plunder
Can't you hear can't you hear the thunder
You better run you better take cover

Living in a land down under
Where women glow and men plunder
Can't you hear can't you hear the thunder
You better run you better take cover
