I heard this German song some time ago, it´s called Sumisu and sung by Farin Urlaub. I do not know whether you´ve heard it but I reckon it´s an amusing piece of New Order Spotting. So here it goes to celebrate my newly acquired technique:
(Let me clear my voice first)
unsere tage waren dunkel unsere hemden waren schwarz wir standen ständig auf dem schulhof in der ecke und wir tauschten tief enttäuschte blicke aus
und immer, wenn wir traurig waren (und traurig waren wir ziemlich oft) gingen wir zu dir nach hause und da hörten wir die smiths
unsere nächte waren einsam unsere herzen waren schwer es gab niemanden, der uns verstehen konnte oder wollte und so kamen wir uns näher
und immer, wenn wir traurig waren (und traurig waren wir ziemlich oft) nahm ich dich in meine arme und dann hörten wir die smiths
manchmal auch the cure oder new order - aber größtenteils die smiths
Translates roughly as:
Black were our days black were our shirts at the schoolyard we would always be the ones in the corner exchanging deeply disappointed looks
And always, when we were sad (and sad we were quite often) we would go back home to listen to the Smiths
Our nights were lonely our hearts heavy no one was able or willing to understand us so we became closer
And always, when we were sad (and sad we were quite often) I would take you in my arms to listen to the Smiths
Sometimes too The Cure or New Order but for the most part The Smiths
He should have listened to New Order more often, he would have been happier!
Any memories awaken?
Cheers to Marco for the lead on the singer, apologies for the cheap translation.
ing AGAIN? :D
Sequinned glove as well - they made me do it! *Sigh* I feel so used.....
