The Kiss Of Kathleen Turner
1986 / Text: Ferdi Bolland, Falco / Musik: Rob & Ferdi Bolland
Erm, excuse me sir, could you maybe turn the newspaper just for a second, erm,
you know it’s not a big problem I wanna tell you but erm – just two – sentences?
Oh ja? Von wo bist Du her? Wien, wienerisch, na Wahnsinn.
Die Welt ist doch klein, ne he! Jetzt fahr’mer – seit 1984 fahr’n mer schon in diesem Zug und ham uns noch net kenneng’lernt. Denn ich muß ja irgendwohin in der heutigen Zeit, ne? Ottakring, Neustift, Grinzing… also listen:
Since 1984 I take the 7:30 train going into Brazil City (oh yeah?)
At this hour of the day I’m not too well humoured
‚cause life doesn’t show any pity
Oh yeah – you’re always nagging, bragging,
Complaining ‚bout yourself
and putting things down in the world
Take a good look at Kathleen Turner
now there’s one heck of a girl! Aoh!
I’ve been to hell and back, but I’m alright Jack
And everything… ???
I got my mind made up, you know I can’t be stopped
I need the kiss of Kathleen Turner right now
I’ve been to hell and back, but I’m alright Jack.
now I know what love is about
Under the seven moons, I’ve made a solemn vow,
I need the kiss of Kathleen Turner right now
I need the kiss of Kathleen Turner right now
Smack in the middle, smack in the middle, smack, smack
Hello – Hello
Oh hi, it’s me, I know it’s late, but I just had to call you
I’ll be over real soon
Kathleen, Kathleen
Is this a dream, or is it real
is this really happening to me or is it just fantasy
In this world there’s only one woman
who can make my dreams come true
and that woman Kathleen – it’s you
I’ve been to hell …
Standing on the corner watching all the girls go by
He wants a kiss – I don’t want a kiss, I want lots of kisses
He wants a kiss
Standing on the corner watching all the girls go by
He wants a kiss
Hallelujah, he’s in Love
Halleluah, Glory Glory
Issos, Cannae, Katalaunische Felder, Mount Greek, Austerlitz, Waterloo, Verdun, Stalingrad
Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Harrisburg, Brockdorf, Zwentendorf, Cattenom, Wackersdorf, Tschernobyl
Kathleen, can you hear me babe
Kathleen, do you know what I’m talking about
I’m just talking about, not the first kiss of my life
I’m talking about … our planet … Kathleen!
