Avenue du Gare
Lyrics
Act: TAPE FIVE
M: Martin Strathausen T: Henrik WagerI’ve been looking for adventure,
Stockholm to the Riviera.
Looking around for something new to try.
Night time living like a playboy,
high crime treat me like a toy boy.
One word I need to hear to get me high.Ah Oui, do you like what you see.
Ooh Yeah, got me walking on air.
Ah Si, ‘cos I need your company,
Oh Ja, on the Avenue du Gare.Cocktails Istanbul to Amsterdam,
e-mails, naughty pictures or a telegram.
Somedays I’m taking everything I can.
Hot shot, Aeroflot or cabriole,
night spot, me and you its time to play.
What you got baby let me hear you say.Ah Oui, do you like what you see.
Ooh Yeah, got me walking on air.
Ah Si, ‘cos I need your company,
Oh Ja, on the Avenue du Gare.I was looking for adventure,
but I couldn’t keep it all together.
Now I can hardly find the food to eat.
Old clothes, cigarettes and alcohol,
big dreams but then I had to lose control.
One day you’ll see me back upon my feet…Ah Oui, do you like what you see.
Ooh Yeah, got me walking on air.
Ah Si, ‘cos I need your company,
Oh Ja, on the Avenue du Gare. -
A Bossa Love
Lyrics
Act: TAPE FIVE
M&T: Martin Strathausendada…
A moonlight Serenade starts playing in my head,
the beauty of creation passing by.
A sentimental journey with the sunshine in my hand,
wonderful reflections in your eyes.dada…
Dance with me – till we hear that distant melody,
a carnival of colours fading in.
That special vis-a-vis in a seaside restaurant,
and tonight – I’m flying high.dada…

A Cool Cat in Town
Lyrics
Act: TAPE FIVE
M&T: Martin StrathausenAoohh, A Cool – Cat – In Town!
It’s late at night while the dogs are sleepin´!
She´s leaving the cave and the wheels are turnin´!
A dancin´ on ice, but the temperature´s risin´!
She steps in the club and the walls are burnin´!There´s a cool cat in town – never settle down, cause she loves
chasing the dogs around.There´s a new kid around, and she knows she is bound to be the
leader of the whole rat-pack, and she wont wait for the return of the mac.There´s a cool cat in town, never going down.
One day she´s even heading for the crown—
A Cool – Cat – in town.When the cat´s away, the mice are playin´ !
They´re messin´around till they all start swayin´!
Down in the club where the joint is jumpin´!
The birds and the bees and the hip chicks are swingin´!There´s a cool cat in town –
Oh, believe me, what a cool cat!She wont wait for a new dog around, who dont likes some cats in town.
A cool kid around , Ah-widdely-dop-ba-domb-ba -dooby!
A Cool- Cat- in Toooooown! -
Bad Boy Good Man
Lyrics
Act: TAPE FIVE
M: Martin Strathausen T: Henrik WagerReady 1-2-3
I´m a Bad BoyThe ballrooms packed with cokey girls
Satin frocks and shining pearls
Click my fingers ladies swoon
The hottest dancer in the roomI’m a bad boy – I need to dance,
if you don’t dance no romance
feel like dancing dance with me
first dance is always free.
I´m a Bad BoyBebop sliding down my back
never alone when I hit the sack
Swings a thing with a ringa-ding-ding
I get wings when I sing —
Ragtime reason and rhyme,
I’m the reason , you’re divine.
Rhumba mambo latin sambaI’m a bad boy – I need to dance,
if I don’t dance no romance
feel like dancing dance with me
first dance is always free.I´m a Bad Boy
bad boy – I need to dance,
if I don’t dance no romance
feel like dancing dance with meI’m a bad boy – I need to dance,
if I don’t dance no romance
feel like dancing dance with me
first dance is always free. -

Black Cotton Blues
Lyrics
Act: TAPE FIVE
Music&Text: Martin StrathausenWoke up this morning, 2 o´clock in the afternoon.
Couldn´t find no sleep last night, but I´m trying to feel allright.
My brain is ringin´with any ole chords,
I sing Hallelujah and I praise the Lords!It keeps on burnin burnin, it keeps on burnin burnin,
it keeps on burnin my brain…Red is the colour of my dancing shoes, Black Cotton and I feel the blues.
White is my shirt, but it´s no use, I wear: Black Cotton when I sing the blues.Went to bed that evening, 4 o´clock in the morning light.
Tossin´and turnin´ deep in my dreams, was haunted by spirits till I gave up the fight.They keep on burnin burnin, they keep on burnin burnin,
they keep on burnin my skin – it´s a sin!Red is the colour of my dancing shoes, Black Cotton and I feel the blues.
White is my shirt, but it´s no use, I wear: Black Cotton when I sing the blues.I was riding a horse with no name, played the wrong chips – in the wrong game.
Only looking for some peace of mind, I keep on searching cause it´s so hard to find.Red is the colour of my dancing shoes, Black Cotton and I feel the blues.
White is my shirt, but it´s no use, I wear: Black Cotton when I sing the blues.ooh, Black Cootton, ooh, Black Cootton, when I sang the Blues

Bunga Book
Lyrics
Act: TAPE FIVE
Music: Martin Strathausen & Text: Henrik WagerThe world out there’s a jungle with danger everywhere
But one old cat, a dirty rat does things that just ain’t fair.
Now he’s the king of the swingers, at least he used to be.
He thinks its cool to play the fool and mess with you and me.Look out ladies, dolls watch out! He’ll eat you up and spit you out
He’s Bunga Bunga the king of fun, a big, bad, boss, the son of a gun.
Take care Kitten Broads Beware He’ll break you heart with time to spare,
He’s Bunga Bunga the king of sin, he won’t give up , he won’t give in
You’re just a page in the Bunga book of his life (oh yeah)
You’re just a page in the Bunga book of his life.Look Out ! (look out) Beware (beware)
Watch out! (watch out) take care (take care)
Would you like a drink? Do you have the time?
Waddaya think? Your place or mine?Hey wait a minute, there’s more…
The law of the Jungle, is a law of his design.
A smooth operator, he breaks the rules every time.
Slimy like a snake, he slides around the scene
His big gorilla bodyguards, his jungle limousine.He roars like a lion …..
But he’s just a pussycat…..
Strong like an elephant…..
But he’s just a dirty rat…..Chorus 3

Dixie Biscuit
Lyrics
Act: TAPE FIVE
M: Martin Strathausen T: Henrik WagerCome on everybody
If you’re running low you know where to go, lets feel alive, I’m jumpin’ Jive
If you need a lift I’m the cat with the gift, I’m heart and soul, I’m cool creole.
If you go with the flow down to “Basement Joe” with your greenbacks and your cadillacs
You’ll find me with the honeys and the VIPs I’m Mister Nice, come and roll the dice.
The latest craze of the dance floor days is right here in my pocket
There are things that can give you wings but I’ll give you a rocket.Come and try my Dixie biscuit
You can’t lose so why not risk it
Come and try my Dixie biscuit
You can’t lose so why not risk it, That’s right.When the lights are low but you’ve got the glow lets do the hop until we drop.
The fillies fly when you feel this high, just standing room at the boogie saloon.
No jelly beans on the mezzanine don’t hit the pipe if you ain’t ripe
So blow your wig if you really dig, lets lose control let the good times roll
Its all around the sight and sound I’ll give you some assistance
Fun is free if get dizzy with me, don’t put up no resistanceCome and try my Dixie biscuit
You can’t lose so why not risk it
Come and try my Dixie biscuit
You can’t lose so why not risk it

Femme Libertan
Lyrics
Act: TAPE FIVE
M: Martin Strathausen T: Henrik WagerMy Femme Libertan.
J´ai visité le paye secret
A travers les réve Volant du soleil.
Avec un sourire delicat
Comme un cocktail de miel et chocolat.La beauté et une simple chose
Un arc-en-ciel ou une cascade de Rose
Elle m´a demande ce que je faisais ici,
J´ai dit vraiment je cherche le parfum de la nuit.My Femme Libertan.
Je te regarde avec mes yeux Parisien.
Je me vois de venir Afrikain.
Tes yeux noir cherche rien: que ce dont tu as besoin.
Mais deriere je lis une histoire sans fin.Un mur de Jericho de sable et solitude
Une atmosphére austére une creature de l´habitude.
Elle est une sainte et une pechress: est son salut
Un esprit libre, un Coeur de payee perdu.My Femme Libertan.

Forever Young
Lyrics
Act: TAPE FIVE
M: Martin Strathausen T: Henrik WagerForever young, forever young, forever young – forever young!
Oh,those were the days, turning back the clock, tic-toc
She used to be the beauty queen, a mans desire on every scene
Oh she was every bodys dream – a real fox
He was tall and debonair, perfect teeth and shiney hair
You never saw a jaw so square, oh what a guyWell times are changing and rearranging. We’re going back where we began.
A slow dance a romance, the bad boy had his chance. We’re gonna feel like Peter PanForever Young (I am feeling) Forever Young (we are feeling)
Forever Young (are you feeling) Forever Young (cos we all wanna feel forever young)all you beauty queens out there, I feel forever young
All those faded photographs, all those tears and all those laughs
at times it feels so long ago, so long ago.
Always something left to show, people come and people go
Maybe just that mistletoe where we kissedThat child inside us is free to guide us, To the magic of the future
Lets wake up sleeping beauty, cos she’s such a cutie, and find Alice in WonderlandForever Young (I am feeling) Forever Young (we are feeling)
Forever Young (are you feeling) Forever Young (cos we all wanna feel forever young)You could try to change your face, but then it just looks out of place.
Getting old is all the rage, you don’t need to fight your age.Forever Young (I am feeling) Forever Young (we are feeling)
Forever Young (are you feeling) Forever YoungForever Young…
Cause we all wanna feel forever young!

Get down to Luna Park
Lyrics
Act: TAPE FIVE
Music and Text: Martin StrathausenWhat good is sitting alone in your room?
No use waiting for the dark side of doom.
There is a place with a million lights,
splendid days and sparkling nights!Wanna escape reality – so welcome to this fantasy
Amusement like it used to be – the biggest in history.
The hottest Schmaltz on the gramophone –
Even Barbie and Daisy are leaving home!Get down to Luna Park, get down to get up.
Get down to Luna Park, get down to get up and step right in
Get down to Luna Park, go round and round on the merry go round!
Get down to Luna Park, oohh – Hear what I say!This is a trip to the man in the moon,
The band is playin a looney tune
Minnie the Moocha is gettin round –
It´s the hottest spot of the town.Nothing like the wonder wheel, so come on keep the fun rollin!
Roller coaster riding, watch out: slip and sliding!
On dizzy towers or the movin ground
Helter skelter in whole Downtown!Get down to Luna Park, get down to get up.
Get down to Luna Park, get down to get up and step right in
Get down to Luna Park, go round and round on the merry go round!
Get down to Luna Park, oohh – Hear what I say! -

M&T: Martin StrathausenSunny, sunny afternoon, somewhere beyond the sea and the moon.
Taken away, behind my horizon, somewhere on Longitude 54-21Set sail on that sunny afternoon,
a message in a bottle won´t make it to the moon.
Somehow your latitude ´s a mystery.
Waste some – of that lazy time with me!Sunny, sunny afternoon, somewhere beyond the sea and the moon.
Taken away, behind my horizon, somewhere on Longitude 54-21 -

Love on a Rainy Day
Lyrics
Act: TAPE FIVE
M&T: Martin StrathausenLove on a rainy day, love on a rainy day
Dried out like the sun, no fun, the air too hot to breathe.
The night was much too short, too lazy to go to work.
So I’m waiting for the rain to fall, give me a break.
A time to rest, to free my mind – I remember:Da da da da – dada
Love on a rainy day.
Ba ba ba ba baba.
Time is fading away.
Love on a rainy day–.That raindrops drumming – makes me wanna go back to bed.
I love that rainy day, no pressure is pushing me.
A time for love and watching dark clouds rolling by.
The walls are wet, it’s warm inside, le mort petite, thats allright!Da da da da – dada
Love on a rainy day.
Ba ba ba ba baba.
Feels like time is fading away.
Love on a rainy day–.Da da da da – dada
Love on a rainy day.
Ba ba ba ba baba.
It feels like time is fading away.
Love on a rainy day–.Love on a rainy day.
Madame Coquette
Lyrics
Act: TAPE FIVE
M&T: Martin StrathausenShe came from Charleston, she´s doing the Toot-Toot,
She was fantastic, she was elastic!
Like summer holiday, living from day to day.
She was young, she had a dream: A famous ritzy dancing queen!A big Baloney, a cool Tomato!
Tuxedo junctions , a real big Spender! A real big spender, a real big spender…Red lights were flashing, champagne was floating,
Her animation, a new sensation!
Like summer holiday, living from day to day.
She was young, she had a dream: A famous ritzy dancing queen!Mr.White-Suit!
Lyrics
Act: TAPE FIVE
M&T: Martin StrathausenMr.White-Suit!
Well I was born again in nineteen twenty four,
a calypso band was playin´ on the shore,
behind the bars in the streets of this famous town,
where after all – I lost my own.Desperados, dancin` bonitas
sweet senoritas, drinkin` mochitos.
Want you to be my petite bambino,
one day I leave to Portofino!But till that day, that beautiful day:
I´ll do the Cha-cha-cha, here at Rico`s Bar,
and even Merengue, down at Tonys Cafe. Mr.White-Suit!
I watch the sweet petitas, and the squeaky senoritas.
I wear that white suit, I never felt that good!Each time I´m in the mood that I look at the sea,
the ships are rolling in, none is leaving with me.
Could not escape the noise and the lights of this town,
and after all, I was going down.Desperados, dancin` bonitas
sweet senoritas, drinkin` mochitos.
Want you to be my queen of Fandango
maybe I leave to San Fernando!But till that day, yes till that day:
I´ll do the Cha-cha-cha, here at Rico`s Bar,
and even Merengue, down at Tonys Cafe. Mr.White-Suit!
I watch the sweet petitas, and the squeaky senoritas.
I wear that white suit, I never felt that good!On the Run…
Lyrics
Act: TAPE FIVE
M&T: Martin StrathausenI´m gonna pack my suitcase, I´m on the run… ooh-daba daba da…
I´m on the run, three, two, one.I´m gonna pack my suitcase , I´m on the run,
on the run from having fun,
in nights at the Copa, cause I can`t resist,
shimmering lights shiny boulevards.
I´m gonna send you a postcard from San Jose,
try to call you in Guantanamo Bay.
Terrible heartache, no “buenas noches”,
send you some flowers from Waikiki.
I´m on the run. I´m on the run.I´m gonna pack my suitcase , I´m on the run,
when something new means no more fun.
Drivin` emotions, I´m restless inside, mama said:
Run but you cannot hide!
Pack my things in one-two-three, not gonna leave a trace of me.
Playing the streetlife seems to be tough,
a night in Tunesia was quite enough.I´m on the run. I´m on the run.
I´m gonna pack my suitcase , I´m on the run,
when nothing else could be done.
Memories, pain, we´ve been here before,
did what I did, and I closed that door.Why, tell me why, do we hurt the ones we love?
When I, yes I´m only tryin to get what I need…I´m on the run. I´m on the run.

Lyrics
Act: TAPE FIVE
M&T: Martin StrathausenPermanent midnight
If I’m high up in the skies,
or down there on the ground,
whether out there in a crowd
or alone-
If I’m starting brandnew games,
or getting near the end,
When it feels like the sun turned cold.
It seemes like evrywhere – darkness all around.
Anytime – darkness all around.Permanent Midnight,
Permanent Midnight.
The song remains the same,
a continuing refrain,
echoing in my brain.
Midnight, midnight…If the band is playing hot,
or the Blues ‘s to slow to go.
If my heart is speeding up
or down-
If I’m excited and upset
or feeling kinda bored,
I’m captured in the midnight hour-
It seemes like anytime – darkness is all around, yeah.Permanent Midnight,
Permanent Midnight.
The song remains the same,
a continuing refrain,
echoing in my brain.
Midnight, midnight…Catch a falling star,
try to put it in your pocket.
Or searching for the rainbows end,
believing there’s a happy end?Pousse L´amour

…quero te a sambar?
Lyrics
Act: TAPE FIVE
M: Martin Strathausen T: Henrik WagerI have had a strange sensation, I´m in the wrong place and time.
The power of your temptation, if I´d give in to you we could be flying high.
In the south there is an island, barefoot dancing on the shore.
There´s no better place you find, let the spirit blow your mind,
Then come back for more.Quero te a sambar? All those happy faces filled with the look of desire.
Amor te a sambar! Such exotic places glowing with the midnight fire.I need the smell of summer jasmin, I have to feel the ocean breeze.
These island rhythms keep me dancing I can hear the people chanting
cross the mirrored sea.
The days are long but nights are longer, always a party going on.
The heat is up we´re feeling stronger I´m not waiting any longer
Sinto meo curasao.Quero te a sambar? All those happy faces filled with the look of desire.
Amor te a sambar! Such exotic places glowing with the midnight fire.
Quero te a sambar? All those happy faces filled with the look of desire.
Amor te a sambar! Such exotic places glowing with the midnight fire.Quero te a sambar? Glowing with the midnight fire…
Senorita Bonita
Lyrics
Act: TAPE FIVE
M&T: Martin StrathausenFour hundred years ago,
came by Banana Boat.
Left your island in the sun,
where it all begun.Ooh oohh,
what a Bonita–
Menina que passa,
where’s your Eldorado?Senorita Bonita,
a shining Juanita.
From Sansibar to Manila,
known on each Avenida.Senorita Bonita,
living no vida loca.
Got no time for fiesta,
maybe sometimes siesta.She came from Ipanema,
she walked the street for money
She got to feed her baby
her brother played da Marimba.You – ooh, could be kinda free,
Menina que passa,
there’s your Eldorado.Senorita Bonita,
a shining Juanita.
From Malaga to Manila.
known on each Avenida.Step into my Time Machine

Shining shoes on the ballroom floor
I stepped into my time machine
Danced onto a different scene

Legal highs and spiked drinks
Electric cars and push up Bras
Step into my time machine
Online Porn, Secret code
Honey Money shot and a hot download
the smartest phone and a flying drone
Time machine, Time machine, Step into my Time machine
Time machine,Time machine Step into my Time machine
Oh ah oh ahVerse 2
Strolling down the main street
tapping in time to the doghouse beat
to many dames that I’d like to meet
Oh ah oh ah
All those folks are looking so stressed
I’m the only Joe who’s over dressed
If you can’t have fun then forget the rest.Ch2
Trigger men with Top hats
Pitching woo with White spats
Clip Joints and cool cats
Step into my time machine
Giggle Juice and Gin mills
Grease Balls and Pally Pills
Cookie pushers Molly Fills
Time machine, Time machine, Step into my Time machine
Time machine,Time machine Step into my Time machineIf you’re never gonna make it in the real time baby then you’re never gonna make it at all
If you wanna make a line for the swing time Baby then we could all be having a ball.But Money can’t buy class
Class won’t get you ass
Don’t need to talk your trash if you can dance dance dancePassword and fingerprints
Legal highs and spiked drinks
Electric cars and push up Bras
Step into my time machine
Online Porn, Secret code
Honey Money shot and a hot download
the smartest phone and a flying drone
Time machine, Time machine, Step into my Time machine
Time machine,Time machine Step into my Time machine.Swingfood Mood
Lyrics
Act: TAPE FIVE
M&T: Martin StrathausenI´m free, falling in love again,
stole my heart and then somehow
I´ll never be the same again.I know, this time could be for real,
it´s in the way I feel inside
maybe we can make it rightI´m swinging in the mood of love, blinking to the girls around.
Tomorrow I´ll be leaving town, but sentimentals wont get me down!I´m free – captured in love again,
stole my heart and then, somehow
I´ll never be the same again.I´m sure, I´m gonna save a kiss,
maybe not even this, you know,
love is a game I can´t resist!You say, this time could be for real,
it´s in the way you feel inside,
maybe you can make it right.Yes, I´m in a funny mood tonight, the ladies and the drinks are right,
remember “tomorrow never knows”, and I´ll be free.Why, give my heart to you?
I would have none, you´d have two, you see,
that doesn´t make a sense to me!That doesn´t make no sense to me,
I´m free!Swing Punk

Dirt track Cadilac banging on a dumrak
Blow pipe, tiger bite, tantric satellite.Maharashtra Mumbai, I just wanna disappear
Hindi Konkani Marathi, Gujarati Bom Bahia.Guru henna heat, dog cow parakeet
Rickshaw rich-poor Bollywood or BangrabeatSari or a Dhoti, Vada pav or panapuri
Boss beggar bootlegger, dollar for a dynastyTaxi to Bombay!
Yogi or an outcaste, Sanskrit sandblast
Monsoon , too soon, flowing through my living roomVishnu Brama Shiva gotta get the Goa fever,
Elevating meditating peace and loving pioneerOld world colony, mahatma Gandi, popadum
Slum shack, car jack, what the hell is going on.Incense penitence, holywater, sacrifice.
Cricket hockey buy a ticket rice spice paradise.Taxi to Bombay!

M&T: Martin StrathausenRendezvous: lead me to a swanky place,
hear the sound of violins, now let romance begin!Sway with me, come on darling waltz with me,
be a ballroom blitz for me, shake my banana skirt.Move up into the big time, now here´s my advice:
Big brass wont make a fuzz, let´s only care about:The Flappers Delight! Flappers Delight.
Ride with me, get down on your knees for me,
Get me in the mood for love, fly me high up to the sky!Move up into the big time, now here´s my advice
Big brass wont make a fuzz, let´s only care about:The Flappers Delight! Flappers Delight.
The Sky Is Not The Limit
Lyrics
Act: TAPE FIVE
M: Martin Strathausen T: Lain MackenzieThe sky is not the limit,
So let’s not just aim high.
No, you don’t have to see it,
But chances are, the chance may pass you by,So reach beyond the heavens,
No winging on a prayer,
It’s time to mark my path
I hope that you come too,
No more waiting round for someone else to show me what to do,
Or, keep on dreaming.Bridge
I’m not talking ‘bout changing you,
You know who you are,
This time we’re gonna go on our own
So no more wish upon a star.The sky is not the limit,
So let’s not just aim high.
No, you don’t have to see it,
But it could pass you by/ for life to pass you bySo reach beyond the heavens,
Don’t wish upon a star.
It’s time to mark my path
I hope that you come too,
No more waiting round for someone else to show me what to do,
Or, keep on dreaming.I keep dreaming…
Who´s taking the blame?
Lyrics
Act: TAPE FIVE
M&T: Martin StrathausenYou say that you cant keep – blaming yourself
for ev`ry mistake – that you think I made.
As evry coin has two sides,
there´s never one that`s wrong or right.
You didn`t even take the time
to listen to the story of mine.
We never promised love, as endless as the milky way,
but we kept on struggling with silly fights day by day,
day by day… we lost the way.I´m tired of feeling the shame,
you hurt me and I did the same.
I cheated you cheated me
tell me, who`s takin` the blame?I´m tired of feeling the shame
I´m wrong but you lost the game,
forgive yourself, forgive me,
some things – are not meant to be.You said, I said… I cant believe that its real,
but it doesnt matter no more, no no.
Like singin to an empty room,
spent hours talking to you.
So go the way you have to go.
I wont sacrifice my soul no more.
We never promised love, as endless as the milky way,
let`s just say, we lost our way.I´m tired of feeling the shame,
you hurt me and I did the same.
I cheated you cheated me
tell me, who`s takin` the blame?I´m tired of feeling the shame
I´m wrong but you lost the game,
forgive yourself, forgive me,
some things – are not meant to be.And I´m tired of feeling the shame,
and I´m tired of taking the blame.
