Das Buch der coolen Leute
Mike Bauhaus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Elvis Presley, Buddy Holly, Jimmy Dean
So was hat die Welt davor noch nie gesehen
Und Baby glaube mir sie Alle stehen drin
Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis, Marilyn
Geben meinem Dasein einen echten Sinn
Durch sie da wusste ich was es zu Leben heißt
Doch du – du stehst bei mir auf Seite eins
Refrain
Denn Baby Du stehst drin
in meinem Buch der coolen Leute
Weil Du mein Leben bist
und mich völlig inspirierst
Ein Leben ohne Dich wäre
Etwas was ich schwer bereute
Drum stehst Du felsenfest
in meinem Buch der coolen Leute
Strophe
Paul Mc Cartney, Lennon, Freddie Mercury
So was Großes wiederholt sich leider nie
Sie waren ihrer Zeit schon weit voraus
Jimmy Hendrix, Bobbie Darin, Fred Astaire
Ich glaube ohne sie wäre unsere Welt so leer
Denn sie gaben uns so viel – was ewig bleibt
Refrain
Denn Baby Du stehst drin
in meinem Buch der coolen Leute
Weil Du mein Leben bist
und mich völlig inspirierst
Ein Leben ohne Dich wäre
Etwas was ich schwer bereute
Drum stehst Du felsenfest
in meinem Buch der coolen Leute
