Nothing but the Truth - BBC Radio One in Concert 1974
Nichts als die Wahrheit - BBC Radio Eins live 1974
One, two, three, go
Eins, zwei, drei, los
It seems as clear as yesterday
Es scheint klar wie gestern
We saw it in a dream
Wir sahen's im Traum
But dream became insanity
Doch der Traum ward zum Wahnsinn
An awful gapin' scream
Ein gellender Schrei im Raum
So sad to see such emptiness
So traurig dies Leere zu sehn
So sad to see such tears
So traurig die Tränen zu sehn
And heaped up leaves of bitterness
Und Blätter der Bitternis hoch
Turned mouldy down the years
Die schimmelig lagen im Schnee'n
Nothin' but the truth
Nichts als die Wahrheit
Common words in use
Alltägliche Worte
Hard to find excuse
Schwer Ausflucht zu finden
Harder than the truth
Schwerer als Wahrheit
Like Icarus we flew too high
Wie Ikarus flogen wir hoch
We flew too near the sun
Zu nah an der Sonne Gesicht
They caught us in that awful glare
Sie trafen uns im grellen Licht
Our hapless throats were strung
Unsre Kehlen, sie würgten zugleich
But just before the final stroke
Doch bevor der letzte Schlag
They took us victims of the rope
Sie nahmen uns, Opfer des Stricks
And cast us far beyond the deep
Und warfen uns tief in den Abgrund
To lie in never endin' sleep
In ewigen Schlaf ohne Licht
Ooh, yeah
Ooh, ja
It seems as clear as yesterday
Es scheint klar wie gestern
They cast us in the deep
Sie warfen uns tief
We lie in darkest night for good
Wir liegen in ewiger Nacht
A never endin' sleep
Ein nie endender Schlaf
A never endin' bitter gloom
Ein nie endend bitteres Grau'n
Whose darkness seldom clears
Dessen Dunkel nie weicht
A God forsaken emptiness
Eine gottverlassene Leere
Which fills our hearts with tears
Die die Herzen mit Tränen erreicht
Nothin' but the truth
Nichts als die Wahrheit
Common words in use
Alltägliche Worte
Hard to find, to find excuse
Schwer Ausflucht zu finden so
Harder than the truth
Schwerer als Wahrheit
Ooh, yeah
Ooh, ja
Nothin' but the truth
Nichts als die Wahrheit
