The name of the band came into being by chance: The bassist of the band, Jan-Dirk Poggemann wanted to name the band like the pastries donuts, but he wrote the name the wrong way by mistake. The other band members liked the name, because they found their philosophy in the name (donots = do nothing, like slackers), so they retained the name. Very rarely the band calls themselves "Ibbtown Rockers" because of their provenance.
The US edition of “Wake The Dogs” features 14 new songs from the punk-veterans, plus 2 additional bonus tracks not included in the original German release, and was released on OK! Good Records.

Donots Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sometimes it may take some time Until you finally rise and shine If you learn to wait YouŽre only hours away Sometimes it may take some time But in the end youŽll be alright This is just a phase YouŽre only hours away
Hey you - itŽs not too late ItŽs okay - youŽre on your way IŽll be right by your side WonŽt let life pass you by And if you should ever need more time I promise that you can have all of mine So donŽt be sad Cause everything will soon fall into place Sometimes it may take some time But I know things will turn out right And youŽre not too late YouŽre only hours away And everybody gets a second chance Another song to dance So keep your faith Cause time has itŽs own strange way (has itŽs own way) Yeah, everybody gets a second chance Another song to dance IŽm proud of everything you do YouŽre only hours away Sometimes it may take some time There ainŽt no need to feel resigned If you keep your grace YouŽre only hours away
