Tankard

[supercobra]

My Favorite band. One of the German thrash bands to come from the 80's. They are still together and playing small shows and big fests. One cool thing is that they have always kept their day jobs, one hell of a hobby. Musically its fast very fast. Think metallica 3 times as fast. Lyrics are about beer, beer, beer, anti-racism, environment, social issues. Its also refreshing that satan and violence are really very mentioned. My favorite songs are Alien and beermuda. The first is about an alien that gets stranded, locks his keys in his ship and drinks all their beer and eats their food lol. The 2nd is about the place "beermuda" where working is outlawed. Their best albums are: Zombie Attack, The Morning After, Alien, The meaning of Life, Chemical Invasion(protesting the proposed law revoking the german beer purity law).

the morning after
we've all had one of these



Space beer
a future beer that never runs out, regrows hair, and cures everything


BEERMUDA

(Music: Tunn)
(Lyrics: Tunn/Clark)

Beermuda!

I´m feeling low, to much frustration
I´ve gotta get away
Do not want to stay in this boring place
Getting crazier day by day

I see in my imagination
The place I want to go
An island far away, unbeknown to most
Where it´s warm and the beer streams flow

Sandy beaches and a deep blue ocean
The water tastes like premium brew
Nobody works, it´s against the law
Gorgeous woman waiting there for you
Easy livin` makes me feel alright
This paradise is mine tonight, mine tonight

Refrain:
I wanna go to Beermuda
No more sober life without fun
I wanna move to Beermuda
I wanna live in Beermuda
Live it up in the tropical sun
I wanna go to Beermuda

The trees are full of snacks and sixpacks
And they don´t cost a dime
There´s just a single rule: No sobriety

Every time here is partytime

Nobody thinks about tomorrow
The good times never stop
Under the summer sky, getting really high
We´ll go on drinking ´til we drop

This is life as it always should be
No one could find a better place
Too bad it can´t be reality
I´m just dreaming, it´s a fantasy

Easy livin` makes me feel alright
This paradise is mine tonight

Refrain:
I wanna go to Beermuda
No more sober life without fun
I wanna move to Beermuda
I wanna live in Beermuda
Live it up in the tropical sun
I wanna go to Beermuda

I see in my imagination
The place I want to go
An island far away, unbeknown to most
Where it´s warm and the beer streams flow

Waking up from my crazy daydream
Brew in my hand, hey, where am I?
Can it be true that I´m really here
On Beermuda with a girl and a beer

Easy livin´ makes me feel alright
This paradise is mine for life, mine for life

Refrain:
I´m gonna stay in Beermuda
No more sober life without fun
I gonna live in Beermuda
I´m gonna stay in Beermuda
Live it up in the tropical sun
I gonna live in Beermuda
I´m gonna stay in Beermuda

No more sober life without fun
I´m gonna live in Beermuda


ALIEN

(Music: Bulgaropulos)
(Lyrics: Geremia/Kipness)

It come to earth three years ago from deep in space
A brilliant U.F.O.! I could not believe it
Refuge! I let it stay with me a while
Stupid! Now I with that he would go


Refrain:
Alien, Alien - he´s a drunkard
Alien, Alien - he ate my food

Consumed my chow ´till nothing´s left every week
Are you happy now? I cannot afford it!
Nosey! He snoops around my private stuff
Porno! And sold my stack of magazines

Refrain:
Alien, Alien - he´s a drunkard
Alien, Alien - he ate my food

He broke into my well stocked fridge and drank my beer
I can´t get really drunk tonight, the stores are closed
Leave now! You drive me nuts, don´t want you here
Oh no! He locked the keys in his spacecraft

Refrain:
Alien, Alien - he´s a drunkard
Alien, Alien - he ate my food
