Was lying on a deck chair
an’ I was sipping at a drink
skipping light on the ocean
the sun was low - I had to blink
I was well, still in my mind
then she came along
she was so much higher
didn’t know right from wrong
Refrain
and I thought to myself, “oh no”
I’m a man, I’m not a fool
took another swig of my drink
an’ acted so damn cool
then she came closer with a smile
it was time to resist, no doubt
but then again
I had to find out - I had to find out
Her dress so bad that I can’t tell
must have look behind the scenes
cat got my tongue, oh man
she was like mescaline
She moved like a reptile
yeah, she put me up the walls
she paralise with her look
she really got me by the balls
Refrain
but then I thought to myself, “oh no”
I’m a man, I’m not a fool
took another swig of my drink
an’ acted oh so cool
then she came closer with a smile
it was time to resist, no doubt
but then again
I had to find out - I had to find out
Solo
Refrain
but then I thought to myself, “oh no”
I’m a man, I’m not a fool

it was time to resist, no doubt
but then again
I had to find out - I had to find out
Bridge
I thought to myself
I’m a man, I’m not a fool
took another swig of my drink
an’ acted oh so cool
she came closer with a smile
it was high time to resist, no doubt
but then again - I had to find out
I was lying on a deck chair
an’ I was sipping at a drink
skipping light on the ocean
the sun was low - so I had to blink
I was well, still in my mind
then she came along
she was so much higher
I didn’t know right from wrong
Refrain
but then I thought to myself, “oh no”
I’m a man, I’m not a fool
took another swig of my drink
an’ acted so damn cool
she came closer with a smile
it was time to resist, no doubt
but then again
I had to find out - I had to find out
She treats me oh so bad
she tears my heart in two
to drown her in a sea of whisky
is all I can do
please leave me alone
you know Im down, Im down
Dont try to make me smile
just let me go for a little while
misery is driving me mad
please leave me alone
you know Im down, Im down
I dont know whats going wrong
I just dont know what to do
theres too much trouble knocking at my door
theres too much heartache too
I hope she thinks it over
my life is in her hand
I never thought to make her cry
I hope she understands
There is no hope for me, my friend
I stop breathing to set the end
I hate my disappointment to show
so please, please leave me alone
you know Im down, Im down
I dont know whats goingwrong
I dont knowI just dont know what to do
theres too much trouble knocking at my door
theres too much heartache too
I hope she thinks it over
my life is in her hand
I never thought to make her cry
I hope she understands
She treats me oh so bad
she tears my heart in two
to drown her in a sea of whisky
is all I can do
please leave me alone
you know Im down, Im down
Im down, down, down
Im down on the ground
When I see her standing there
with her pink ridiculous hat
waiting for another guy
to treat him so unkind
I hope she won’t see me
in my ragged company
no, I hope she won’t see me
When I see her sitting there
with her fashionable look
talking to some rich men
that she knows
oh I hope she won’t see me
in my ragged company
no, I hope she won’t see me
Let us drink to prosperity and luxury
let us drink to the rich good looking people
raise your glass to the good and the evil
let us drink to the joy of life
When I see her sitting there
with her fashionable look
talking to some rich men that she knows
well, I hope she won’t see me
in my ragged company
no, I hope she won’t see me
And when she is sitting back
in her fire red racing car
knowing that everyone is watching her
well, I hope she won’t see me
in my ragged company
no, I hope she won’t see me
Let us drink to prosperity and luxury
let us drink to the rich good looking people
raise your glass to the good and the evil
let us drink to the joy of life
let us drink to the joy of life
let us drink to the joy of life

You’ve got the sweetest eyes
I’ve ever seen
and you’re so beautiful Madline
You’ve got the sweetest smile
you brighten my day
all clouds are fading away, Madline
And life
is new beginning
it’s
like a brand new day
and how wonderful life is
since
you’re in the world
it’s a
feeling inside
I can’t hide the
feeling inside
no I
can’t hide the feeling inside
You’ve got the sweetest smile
you brighten my day
all clouds are fading away, Madline
You’ve got the sweetest eyes
I’ve ever seen
you are so beautiful Madline
And life
is new beginning
it’s
like a brand new day
and how
wonderful life is
since
you’re in the world
it’s a
feeling inside
I can’t hide the
feeling inside
No I
can’t hide the feeling inside
I think of you in the morning
you’re the last thing at night
you are all I need
to make me feel alright
I didn’t want to hurt you
believe me when I say
since you have gone
I’m like a loaded gun
I suffer each and every day
But have you ever seen the tears in my eyes
Have you ever felt the pain,
No, no tell the truth
I’m lost in confusion
I wish that I were dead
please make me well
and get me out of this hell
you won’t get out of my head
No matter what you say
no matter what you do
I’m a prisoner of my heart
and it’s dedicated to you
But have you ever seen the tears in my eyes
Have you ever felt the pain,
No, no tell the truth
Oh honey,
tell me what can I do
indifference in your eyes
make me feel so blue
Oh honey,
what’s up with you
no, you’re not the same
free your mind and pull the plug from your brain
Don’t you think that for the longest time
you’ve been singing the blues
can’t you see, your self-pity is not of use - no, no, no
Oh honey,
look for the shining in your eyes
I miss your smile, your crazy way,
but you are cold as ice
Oh honey,
you would shame the devil
with that expression on your face
please stop wallow in misery
it’s time to cut the chase
Don’t you think that for the longest time
you’ve been singing the blues
can’t you see, your self-pity is not of use - no, no, no
Tell me what can I do
indifference in your eyes
make me feel so blue
Don’t you think that for the longest time
you’ve been singing the blues
can’t you see, your self-pity is not of use - no, no, no
After the show
get some peace
strech my bones
on an oversized hotel bed
Lost in thoughts
I kill the mini bar
I try to call
you’re not at home
so I turn on TV
and zap a while
but on every channel
they call out your name
It’s a long way from home, I know it’s true
but it won’t be long till I’ll come back to you, come back to you
Close my eyes
fall to sleep
lost in a dream
I’m far away
but every road I take
keep coming back to you
keep coming back to you
It’s a long way from home, I know it’s true
but it won’t be long till I’ll come back to you, come back to you
After the show
get some peace
strech my bones
on an oversized hotel bed
Lost in thoughts
I whisper your name
It’s a long way from home, I know it’s true
but it won’t be long till I’ll come back to you, come back to you
It’s a long way from home, I know it’s true
but it won’t be long till I’ll come back to you, come back to you
I need a woman
get me out this fix
it’s time for action
I need some kicks
I’m looking for love
with a real high heel queen
that makes a deaf
and dumb man scream
there is no escape
nothing you can do
I’m a hunter babe
I need a woman
who fight the devil in me
till I’m as tame
as a man can be
Set the night on fire
show me who I am
pure gasoline
on a burning man
there is no escape
nothing you can do
I got my eye on
Sweet, sweet, sweet seduction
girl you’re my heart attack
scratch your name across my back
Sweet, sweet, sweet seduction
Oh come on baby let it roll
I need a woman
get me out this fix
it’s time for action
I need some kicks
Set the night on fire
show me who I am
pure gasoline
on a burning man
there is no escape
nothing you can do
I got my eye on
Sweet, sweet, sweet seduction
girl you’re my heart attack
scratch your name across my back
Toller Rocksong im Siebziger-Gewand, der tatsächlich etwas an Ziggy Stardust erinnert. Die Instrumentierung ist solide und bietet den fantastischen Vocals die entsprechenden Räume. Ganz großes Rasentennis ist in diesem Zusammenhang der stilsicher vorgetragene Chor. Dieser Song verbreitet einfach gute Laune mit seiner beschwingten Art. Für mich ein würdiger Tages-Hit. Mehr davon!

Da hat sich die Schatzsuche doch gelohnt.
Dein Song gefällt mir und erinnert mich stark an die alten Bowie sachen.
Wenn man deine Stimme in dem Song hört muß man automatisch an Bowie denken. Finde den Song gut produziert. Sound ist gut und die Instrumentierung gefällt auch. Da laß ich gerne alle fünfe da.

Jetzt mal im Ernst... Du bist David Bowie, oder?
Oder sein ehemaliger Studiomusiker?
Oder hat er seine Sachen in der Vergangenheit von Dir geklaut??
Ich weiss es nicht.. Die Ähnlichkeit ist aber absolut frappierend.
Bei dem hier vorliegenden Song fällt mir nichts ein, was man meiner Meinung nach musikalisch noch besser machen könnte.
Absolut grossartig.
Vielleicht wäre es nur noch ein Experiment wert, dem Titel ein moderneres Soundgewand zu verpassen?
Aber nicht deshalb, weil mir hier etwas nicht gefiele, sondern weil sich die Standards diesbezüglich nach oben verschoben haben, und das Ergebnis zumindest für mich sehr interessant wäre.

Hi,
kann mich meinen Vorjuroren nur anschliessen.
Du bist (fast *g*) besser als ich es jemals war.

Jetzt würde mich nur noch interessieren, ob du auch optisch als Double durchgehen würdest. Muss ich haben!

Spielerisch und gesanglich einfach professionell.
Daher kommt das Lied auch ohne übertriebene Soundeffekte aus.
Glasklarer transparenter Klang, wo man jeden Fehler raushören würde
(ich höre aber keinen ). Wirklich super !

Gitarre und Gesang arrangieren sich hervorragend. Bassläufe schön rausgespielt, 70er-Feeling wunderbar inkludiert (kann man sogar als Damals-noch-nicht-Geborene sagen), backround sehr nett "uuuu--aaaa", durchgängiges prägnates Solo. Unterschied zu vielen der guten 70er Songs : dieses Lied besitzt auch inhaltlich eine schöne Qualität!
Ohren auf!!

Sweet Madline (Piano-Version)
Bereits mit seinem Song "I'm down" hat Sven Köthe ein Händchen fürmelancholischen Pop-Rock bewiesen. Kurz vor Weihnachten schlagen der Sänger undseine Band etwas ruhigere Töne an. Ein Streicher-Arrangement und ein Klavieruntermalen den einfühlsamen Gesang des Singer-Songwriters. Er selbst beschreibtden Song als "Spontankomposition" am Tag der Geburt seiner Tochter.Als Bonus Track findet sich das Stück auf dem Album "On Focus", dem Debüt von Sven Köthe.

"Im down" zum song des Tages gewählt -
Old School und balladesk geht es weiter mit Sven Köthe und Band. Wie er selbst sagt, ist seine Musik zwischen den Beatles, David Bowie oder Deep Purple einzuordnen, was sich nach dem Hören auch bestätigt. Melancholische Gesangsparts, ruhige Stellen mit Klavier und gefühlvolle, energiegeladene Gitarrensoli bestimmen "I'm Down". Musik für die Einführung in einen Freitag Abend der geprägt ist von Rotwein und Erinnerungen. Auch leidenschaftliche Luftgitarrenspieler werden bei diesem Song ihren Spaß haben.
