When Love Comes To Town

U 2 & B.B. King - When Love Comes To Town (Official Music Video) When Love Comes to Town Song by B. B. King and U2 Übersicht Text Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I was a sailor, I was lost in sea I was under the waves, before love rescued me I was a fighter I could turn on a threat Now I stand accused of the things I've said. When love comes to town, I'm gonna jump that train When love comes to town, I'm gonna catch that flame. Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down, But I did what I did before love came to town. Used to make love under a red sunset, I was making promises I was soon to forget. She was pale as the lace of her wedding gown, But I left her standing before love came to town. Ran into a juke joint when I heard a guitar scream, The notes were turning blue when I fell into a dream As the music played I saw my life turn around That was the day before love came to town. Love comes to town, I'm gonna jump that train When love comes ...

Crime Of The Century

Crime Of The Century RIP   Rick Davies (22 July 1944 – 6 September 2025)  Lyrics Now they're planning the crime of the century Well, what will it be? Read all about their schemes and adventuring Yes, it's well worth a fee So roll up and see How they rape the universe How they've gone from bad to worse Who are these men of lust, greed and glory? Rip off the masks and let's see But that's not right, oh, no, what's the story? But there's you and there's me That can't be Source:  Musixmatch Songwriters: Richard Davies / Roger Hodgson Crime Of The Century lyrics © Almo Music Corp., Universal Music Publishing Ltd., Delicate Music

A Whiter Shade of Pale

A Whiter Shade of Pale (2007 Remaster) Lyrics We skipped the light fandango Turned some cartwheels across the floor I was feeling kind of seasick When the crowd called out for more The room was humming harder And the ceiling flew away When I called out for another drink The waiter brought a tray And so it was later When the miller told this tale That her face at first just ghostly Turned a whiter shade of pale She said, "There is no reason And the truth is plain to see" That I wandered through my playing cards And could not let her be, no One of 16 vestal virgins Who was leaving for the coast And although my eyes were open They might just as well have been closed And so it was later When the miller told this tale He said that her face at first just ghostly And then turned a whiter shade of pale And so it was later When the miller told this tale He said that her face at first just ghostly Then turned a whiter shade of pale Oh, just a whiter shade of pale Then turned a whiter ...

Messy // Unaufgeräumt

Image
„ unaufgeräumt “ hat laut ChatGPT im Deutschen zwei Ebenen: wörtlich/konkret:  nicht aufgeräumt, also „messy“, „untidy“, „cluttered“. übertragen/innerlich:  nicht gesammelt, nicht klar, etwas durcheinander im Kopf oder in der Stimmung. Im Englischen gibt es leider kein einzelnes Wort, das beide Ebenen genau so elegant abdeckt. Ein paar gute Annäherungen: "Unsettled"  – kann heißen „innerlich unruhig“, aber auch „nicht geregelt“ (also in übertragenem Sinn „nicht aufgeräumt“). "Disordered"  – trägt sowohl „unordentlich“ im physischen Sinn als auch „aus der Ordnung geraten“ im übertragenen. "Cluttered"  – funktioniert sehr gut für Räume und Gedanken („a cluttered room“, „a cluttered mind“). "Messy"  – umgangssprachlich, aber durchaus auf beide Ebenen anwendbar („my room is messy“, „my thoughts are messy“). 👉 Am nächsten an der Doppelbedeutung von  unaufgeräumt  kommen wohl  „messy“  (eher alltagssprachlich) oder  „disordered“  (e...
