about

Going back to where I grew up, Solingen, in the late 70s, early 80s
it didn't look good. I still have the scarf my mom made for me in the blue and yellow-blue colors of the soccer club Union Solingen.

lyrics

Picture of a dying town

It's a picture of a dying town
With the character of its own
If she would feel a little pride
She'd go up in flames tonight

With my dreams going up in smoke
I have a beer, I have a toke
Singing my very last song
And with a smile I'll be gone

It's a picture of a dying town
The theaters and our club is gone
They went down to 5th league
Their only fan seems to be me

It's a picture of a dying town
No one dreams although the lights are out
With wide open eyes I lie in bed
Too awake to sleep, too weak to be said

It's a picture of a dying town
How could I end up here alone?
Half of us have lost their jobs
Friends are dead or they moved

It's a picture of a dying town
A town that fits the mood of mine
I smile way less than ever before
And I don't whistle anymore
