about

DER HEIZDECKENVERKÄUFER:
Eine Frage: Gibt es Liebe in dieser Stadt? Is there love in Zürich? Im Sprüngli? Im Chreis Föif? Da vorne am See?

Ich bin fremd hier, ich habe keine Ahnung, ich stand neulich an der Quaibruck und besah mir diese Statue, die dort steht, Ganymed, der Mundschenk der Götter, verkauft vom eigenen Vater für ein paar Pferde, und es regnete, und mir war kalt, und niemand da, der mich wärmt, nicht mal eine Heizdecke, nur ich und der Junge Ganymed, und dann ging ich weiter ins Odeon und traf den Herrn dort und trank ein Bier mit ihm und fand... Verständnis.

Danke, James, danke Schorsch, danke Yakuba, danke Jenny. Und Joe!

Meine Damen und Herren: Is there love in Zürich?

lyrics

THE IMMIGRANT’S SONG

I was taking a walk on the Quaibruck
Biding my time with the gulls
When I happened upon a statue,
of an utterly beautiful boy, ah...
there’s no love, there’s no love
in Zürich

I was drinking a coffee at Sprüngli
Watching old people there die
And the steely-eyed waitress behaved
As if I were shit on the wall, ah...
There’s no love, there’s no love
In Zürich

And I said: Ganymed!
How did you feel when your father sold you
And I said: Ganymed!
What was it like when Jupiter held you
And I said: Ganymed!
were you pleased or were you delighted?
And I said: Ganymed!
Were you just a tiny bit frightened?
Did you ever wonder if paradise
Was worth the price you paid?

I went to a party im Chreis Föif
And danced like a demon on drugs
Got high with the Spider
Wolverine and Knightrider, ah...
There’s no love, there’s no love
In Zürich

And I said Ganymed!
When you saw all those heavenly horses
And I said Ganymed!
The return for your luscious resources
And I said Ganymed!
Were you pleased or were you delighted?
And I said Ganymed!
Were you just a tiny bit frightened?
Did you ever wonder if paradise
Was worth the price you paid?

And I cried Ganymed!
When you got transported to heaven
And I cried Ganymed!
To serve at the feasts of the gods
Were you pleased?
Were you delighted?
Were you just a tiny bit frightened?
Did you ever wonder if paradise
Was worth that ultimate lay?
