Champagne Charlie

(Edward McBride)

This song is about a flamboyant gay guy who lived life to the max. He gave his heart and soul to everybody and was well loved by both straight and gay people. A gang of teenage reprobates waited for him one night and they slashed and beat him badly.

He set the tone
on his gay throne
his name was 
Champagne Charlie
He came out young
he could not
stop it
He knew when
he was four
The whole town
knew him
dressed to kill
So outrageous
what a thrill

Chorus

He is so gay
just let him play
He does not
bother anyone
He loves to live
He gives his all
Just raise a
toast to Charlie

He helped the
ones that were
not sure
The closet opened easy
He gave his heart
He gave his soul
The town they
really loved him
Until one dark night
the gang was waiting
slashed him up
and put the boots in
He lay there dying
no one noticed
So sad he
did not make it

We celebrate a
life so full
I weep for
my friend Charlie
We raise a glass
it is Champagne
in honour of
Our Charlie

Chorus

He is so gay
just let him play
He does not
 bother anyone
He loves to live
He gives his all
Just raise a 
toast to Charlie

Psalmen

By Georg Wagner (GeWa)

Was versteht man unter Psalmen, lieber Konfirmand? - Wenn jetzt die Antwort "Meeresrauschen" kommt, besteht offensichtlich Erklärungsbedarf. Psalmen sind poetische, religiöse Texte, lieber Konfirmand.

Wrong

By Nadine Schulze

In dem Song geht es um die pure Verzweiflung, Angst und die Erkenntnis, dass man jahrelang auf einem falschen Weg war. Ein kleiner Restfunken Hoffnung besteht noch, aber es wird sehr schwer, aus dieser Situation herauszukommen und einen neuen Weg einzuschlagen.
