When revolution is common sense And la boheme is haute couture Over and over again What's left to dream of then CHORUS Let me be your soylent green Itemise me for the man Pet me Moloch I agree Introduced to higher means Well-fed, fertilized, marching in line Squeaking, rosy-tinted cheeks, proudly becoming meat CHORUS Let me be your soylent green Wake me up I'm still asleep Pet me Moloch, yes indeed I am fuel for the machine For the machine (x5) Clean and tidy, empty eyes, ready to shine Quite amused by being used, obviously fine Give me more, no remorse. Work work, human resource (x3)

Frontiers of clay Decorate the silver plates we almost call our own Work and pray No worries, no riddles, no problems that Another glass couldn't solve CHORUS And someone takes a photograph of you and Senek Dancing cheek to cheek On Asnyka nights Ale Balanga (x2) Co za Balanga Ale Balanga Jazda (xX) And I want to stay But you already Let the sun shine down on me Through the holes in your body (x5) CHORUS And then the curtain falls Cowboy spirit calls And all your comrades go To earn a golden nose Now you can buy a car Or be a rock n roller And the kids stray through the streets, collecting cans of coca cola CHORUS

Air Koryo ready for take off Soon we will be higher Higher than the Juche tower Cause they say CHORUS That people have fun in Pyongyang Funny Pyongyang People live fast in Pyongyang Pali Pali Pyongyang While you're still numb and annoyed and asleep Why do you still look so annoyed when you're asleep? Are you bothered by Pyongyang city lights? Pyongyang city lights don't shine at night. Shine bright! Flip flops out in the land of the bomb drop Are you ready for a good time? Check in in Ryugjong hotel, Where the view is fine. CHORUS Cause people have fun in Pyongyang (...) Lay your hands around my hips, great leader Hold on tight we will take a ride on my chollima (x2) On my my my my my my my my my my my my chollima My chollima CHORUS Cause people have fun in Pyongyang (...)
4.	kumite 04:54	lyrics	buy track
She's there She crossed the border She softly says into her voice-recorder The situation's heating up - she'll fall in love How could she not? How could she not... CHORUS Hold on! He's still out there... Though even blinded by the powder You humiliated Chung Li You made him bleed at the kumite At the kumite No retreat, no surrender Caress his face with thunder You made the lame walk, Though never turned the other cheek. Show me some more of that magic, Wet Jesus CHORUS He always aimed for the right brick Impressed the boys with a coin trick His physique was the new chique But a brick doesn't hit back No a brick doesn't hit back CHORUS You only listen to your own command, Soon you'll be the winner of the tournament What a grace, what a patience, what an idol for my generation Seaming the Chinese sky with an abasing rainbow of blood... With an abasing rainbow of blood.

about

"buckow" is the distilled essence of five years of uncoordinated musical ramblings in Berlin basements. It's what persisted years of trying, doubting, figuring out and mostly just doing.

We like it.

The sound of these tracks is guided and shaped by our beloved Yamaha drum machine from 1993. Long subway rides and walks through the dark outskirts of Berlin to an even darker, smoke-filled rehearsal space probably also played their role in setting the initial mood for die gruppe buckow.

But while winters are dark and basements are dark, we still like that shiny little dancy disco spark that follows us around.

The music was recorded and produced raw and DIY. We feel that this style comes closest to how we experience playing the songs and to what a die gruppe buckow sound might be.

about

die gruppe buckow Berlin, Germany

die gruppe buckow started as a group of friends gathering around a cheap drum machine from the 90s in a rehearsal space in Buckow, an outskirt of Berlin.

Pairing what everyone brought to play, with the drum machine's monotonic rhythm, somehow felt quite enjoyable.

The music is influenced by the cold, windy and brutalist surroundings of Berlin winters, holding on to a tiny warm disco ball. ... more
