2) Penicillin were a German band (based in the town of Kottweiler) rooted in jazz-rock.
Formed in 1971 by Fred Felder (vocals) and Waldemar Ruth (drums), they had changed a lot over the years before their debut recordings. This was down to the fact that the band was often a large metamorphic troupe of up to 12 or 15 musicians, based around a pretty constant core of five, and that they'd experimented with everything from Hörspiel through to classical, combining such elements into their own unique sound.

摩天楼の脹ら脛に
近い部屋は火薬の匂い
そう cool eyes cool eyes
求めていたものは

ダイヤモンドを抱きしめて
罪と罰を教えてくれた
ダイナマイトに火をつけて

ああ夜を楽しく

非常識を楽しんでいる
僕らはもう爆発しそうさ
そう surreal eyes surreal eyes
淑女はいらないさ
罪に勝つのは欲望だけ
ダイヤモンドを傷つけて
昼と夜をかきまぜながら

ああ火花ちらして
Lady Dynamite

ああ狂おしく揺れて
甘い甘い甘い甘い Kiss
くさるほど
ダイヤモンドの導火線
ふたりなら自由にできる
ダイナマイトを抱きしめて
罪と罰を教えてくれた

ダイヤモンドに火をつけて
ああ君は Ah... Lady Dynamite
