Love me, love me, love me
Say you do
Let me fly away with you
For my love is like the wind
Give me more than one caress
Satisfy this hungriness
Let the wind blow through your heart
For the wild is the wind
You touch me
I hear the sound of Mandolins
You kiss me and with your kiss, my world begins
You`re spring to me
All things to me
Your life itself
Like a leaf that clings to a tree
Oh my darling cling to me
For we`re creatures of the wind
and wild is the wind
You touch me
I hear the sound of Violins
You kiss me and with your kiss, my world begins
You`re spring to me
All things to me
Your life itself
Max Raabe and Palast Orchester evoke the heady, dancing-on-knife-point mood of the Weimar Republic. A conservatory- trained baritone besotted with the Weimar era vocal style exemplified by the Comedian Harmonists, Raabe interprets vintage hits while also writing original songs and reinventing contemporary pop tunes in a retro style, such as “Oops!… I Did It Again” from Britney Spears and “Sex Bomb” by Tom Jones.
“In the grand style of performers from Germany’s Weimar Republic, Max Raabe likes to party like it’s 1929. ” — The New York Times
“An androgynous figure in white tie and tails, he projects an air of elegant nonchalance as he stands poised before his fox-trotting orchestra. ” — San Francisco Chronicle

Well I hope that I don’t fall in love with you
‘Cause falling in love just makes me blue,
Well the music plays and you display
Your heart for me to see,
I had a beer and now I hear you
Calling out for me
And I hope that I don’t fall in love with you.
Well the room is crowded, people everywhere
And I wonder, should I offer you a chair?
Well if you sit down with this old clown,
Take that frown and break it,
Before the evening’s gone away,
I think that we could make it,
And I hope that I don’t fall in love with you.
Well the night does funny things inside a man
These old tom-cat feelings you don’t understand,
Well I turn around to look at you,
You light a cigarette,
I wish I had the guts to bum one,
But we’ve never met,
And I hope that I don’t fall in love with you.
I can see that you are lonesome just like me,
And it being late, you’d like some some company,
Well I turn around to look at you,
And you look back at me,
The guy you’re with has up and split,
The chair next to you’s free,
And I hope that you don’t fall in love with me.
Now it’s closing time, the music’s fading out
Last call for drinks, I’ll have another stout.
Well I turn around to look at you,
You’re nowhere to be found,
I search the place for your lost face,
Guess I’ll have another round
And I think that I just fell in love with you.
Losing the star without a sky
Losing the reasons why
You’re losing the calling that you’ve been faking
And I’m not kidding
It’s damned if you don’t and it’s damned if you do
Be true ’cause they’ll lock you up in a sad sad zoo
Oh hidy hidy hidy what cha tryin to prove
By hidy hidy hiding you’re not worth a thing
Sew your fortunes on a string
And hold them up to light
Blue smoke will take
A very violent flight
And you will be changed
Sand everything
And you will be in a very sad sad zoo.
I once was lost but now I’m found was blind
But now I see you
How selfish of you to believe in the meaning of all the bad dreaming
Metal heart you’re not hiding
Metal heart you’re not worth a thing
Metal heart you’re not hiding
Metal heart you’re not worth a thing
Back of your head
Big monster
Big monster lover
A bigger pusher over
Stands alone in most walks of life
Walks alone in most walks in life
See you looking through me
Like you’ve unzipped the zipper
You hold the big picture so well
Can’t you see that we’re going to hell
Couldn’t park that fucking car
Couldn’t part from you
Saw the back of your sweet mother’s head
Now I know that she thinks I am dead
Burnt flavor you hold the big picture so well
Can’t you see that we’re going to hell
Big monster lover
A bigger pusher over
Stands alone in most walks of life
Walks alone in most walks in life

There’s a moment in the mornings when the birds refuse to sing
When the wind blows in it’s cargo and the eyes begin to sting
And you can’t see these Elysian Fields for the bodies on the ground
So you grope the dead for souvenirs that are lying all around
Lay your head down on my pillow and show me heaven
Lay your head down on my pillow and show me heaven
I killed a little boy today; I put a bayonet in his breast
They said I was a hero and pinned a medal on my chest
But I will not kill another for now I know it to be wrong
That young man had a mother and for her I must be strong
So lift your skirt up a little higher and show me heaven
Lift your skirt up a little higher and show me heaven
In the morning they’ll be waiting and before the day is done
I will make my peace with Jesus, I will walk toward the sun
And they’ll take me to the bloody war, where the ones before me fell
And I’ll go to meet my old friends, yes and my enemies as well
So put your sweet lips against my body and show me heaven
Put your sweet lips against my body and show me heaven
Show me heaven, show me heaven
Show me heaven, show me heaven.
To be a real leprechaun,
and have a pot of gold.
To be able to enjoy the music,
and not be left out in the cold.
Their life of enjoyment,
can be seen in their face.
To be a living leprechaun,
is something I can embrace.
Their little deeds of mischief,
and the matching of their wit.
And a toast of Irish whiskey,
to make this seem legit.
I’d love to be a leprechaun,
So life can be a treasure.
I know that I would love this,
beyond any kind of measure.
Dancing in the moonlight,
and hiding in the flowers.
The weeks are so carefree,
that days seem like hours.
From a thousand shades of green,
that’s called the emerald isle.
I know the life of merryment,
is really quite worthwhile.
To be a living leprechaun,
is something of what I dream.
For if I really was one,
I would be held in high esteem.
She says it’s not you, it’s me
I need a little time, a little space
A place to find myself again you know
Oh yeah, I know a goodbye when I hear it
she smiles
But her heart’s already out there
Walking down the street
She says
I don’t want nobody else, I love you
She’s lying
There won’t be somebody else and that’s true
She’s lying
Say you’ll always be my friend sweet darling
Why does she pretend
Ain’t no doubt, it’ plain to see
A woman like you’s no good for me
Your heart’s beating at another door
I’m a done fool for to ask for more
She says
It’s like in a song, remember
If you love someone, set them free
Well, that’s how it is with me
And then she kisses me
And somewhere I hear a door slam
So I say fine
And just hope that I’m a better liar than she is
She says
I don’t want nobody else, I love you
She’s lying
There won’t be somebody else and that’s true
She’s lying
Say you’ll always be my friend sweet darling
Why does she pretend
Ain’t no doubt, it’ plain to see
A woman like you’s no good for me
Your heart’s beating at another door
I’m a done fool for to ask for more
Ain’t no doubt, it’ plain to see
A woman like you’s no good for me
Your heart’s beating at another door
I’m a done fool for to ask for more
That’s what I am
I don’t want nobody else, I love you
She’s lying
There won’t be somebody else and that’s true
She’s lying
Say you’ll always be my friend sweet darling
Why does she pretend
Ain’t no doubt, it’ plain to see (I’m a fool)
A woman like you’s no good for me (No matter how I try)
Your heart’s beating at another door
I’m a done fool for to ask for more (That’s what I am)
Ain’t no doubt, it’ plain to see (Fool that I am)
A woman like you’s no good for me
Your heart’s beating at another door
I’m a done fool for to ask for more
The idea is the advertising of Radio Klassik from Denmark. Something like flashmob but it’s been a truly pleasure – to listen Edvard Grieg’s great music and to see smiling enlightened faces. Metro Copenhagen. Bravo!
