Have a look at the promo video. Shot in Londons East End, this rare promo footage of Moritz features the lead track from their debut EP Can't stop loving You. Filmed in 1987, this video helped the EP become a total sell out, and vinyl copies now exchange hands on the internet for over £50.
Now thanks to the many internet AOR sites, Moritz are regarded as arguably the finest UK exponents of true AOR rock. It is due to this overwhelming support that all 6 original members reformed back in 2009 for the first time in 21 years the result of which is an outstanding album "Undivided" that is now available.

Moritz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I show 'em for you, wear you like a tissue
I'm sure you was better, too, when I was with you
But you started playin' games and we'll never be the same again
I fuckin' miss you, that's an issue
And I show 'em for you, wear you like a tissue
I'm sure you was better, too, when I was with you
But you started playin' games and we'll never be the same again
(Ya, again, and we'll never be the same)
Ja, ich vermiss' dich, und zwar richtig
Mache wieder neuen Track und es wird kitschig
Ja, ein Song wird erst zum Hit wenn du ihn mitsingst
Finde keine Ruhe mehr denn du bist mir wichtig (dah)
Wär' so gern' entspannt, doch mein Herz flattert wenn ich and dich denk'
Wünsche mich zu dir, denn im Vergleich da sind mir alle fremd
Werd' verrückt auch wenn ich morgen wieder an deiner Seite penn'
Zeit ist Geld doch mit dir da ist sie ein Geschenk (ahh)
Geh' müde durch das Leben, mit dir bin ich wach (piu, piu)
Schaue dir beim Schlafen zu damit ich nichts verpass'
Null Uhr Null, ich hoff' du denkst an mich um Mitternacht
Schreib mir gern, bringt mir liebe in mein Herz, ja (ahh)
I fuckin' miss you, that's an issue
And I show 'em for you, wear you like a tissue
I'm sure you was better, too, when I was with you
But you started playin' games and we'll never be the same again
I fuckin' miss you, that's an issue
And I show 'em for you, wear you like a tissue
I'm sure you was better, too, when I was with you
But you started playin' games and we'll never be the same again
(Ya, again, and we'll never be the same again)
(Ya, again, and we'll never be the same)
(Ya) Call me on my phone (my phone)
Ask me if I'm home (I'm home)
Come into my zone (ya)
'Cause I never felt this alone (fuck)
I'm takin' drugs on my own
AP said I'm one (one)
Call me when you're drunk (yup)
Yeah, we're all fucked up but we're young (ahh)
I don't know about your feelings, not a single one
I said I want to be with you, that you're the one
Baby can I trust you this time (this time), this time
I fuckin' miss you, that's an issue
And I show 'em for you, wear you like a tissue
I'm sure you was better, too, when I was with you
But you started playin' games and we'll never be the same again
I fuckin' miss you, that's an issue

The lyrics to "Issues" by Moritz express the deep longing and sadness the artist feels for a past love. The repetition of "I fuckin' miss you, that's an issue" emphasizes the intensity of his feelings and suggests that missing this person has become a problem for him. The metaphor of wearing the person like a tissue implies that he carries their presence with him constantly, almost like a comforting object, despite the pain it may cause.
The lyrics also touch on the regret the artist feels about the deterioration of their relationship. He acknowledges that things were better when they were together, but blames the other person for playing games and causing irreparable damage. This recognition adds a layer of vulnerability and sadness to the song, as it implies that the artist wishes for things to return to the way they were, even though he knows it's impossible.
In the second verse, Moritz continues to express his longing for this person. He admits that he can't find peace because they are important to him and he thinks about them constantly. The line "Zeit ist Geld doch mit dir da ist sie ein Geschenk" (Time is money, but with you, it becomes a gift) suggests that being with this person makes time feel valuable, and being apart from them leaves a void and a sense of restlessness.
The third verse introduces a sense of loneliness and desperation. The artist longs to be in the presence of this person, highlighting his desire for connection and closeness. The references to drugs and a feeling of being alone add a darker element to the song, suggesting that the artist may be using these substances as a means of coping with his emotions and loneliness.
Overall, "Issues" delves into the pain and longing associated with a failed relationship. The lyrics capture the artist's deep emotional struggle, regret, and desire for things to return to how they used to be. It presents a complex mix of sadness, loneliness, and hope for reconciliation, making it a relatable and heartfelt expression of longing and heartbreak.
