Tocotronic "Aber hier leben, nein danke!" by Til Obladen


another intriguing performance video.

(track's actually ok for a german band; lyrics good, too.)

resizeable qt file here

(via del.icio.us)
         
I find it quite boring really, both the video and the song. It sort of hurts me to say that, I used to love Tocotronic, but then they grew up... :(
         
lyrics, roughly:

i like it when
anger breaks
and i like your
powers occult

i like animals
in the woods at night
when they whisper
making noise

i like the way
i like the goal
i like excess
and self-exile

i like the dreading
and a lot
i offer some
to everyone

that's what i like
that's what i like

but to live here
no thank you
but to live here
no thank you

i like the mirror-effect
of the air
and when desire
never fades
the sheen of life
in a single day

i like the doubts
consuming me
when my fear
suddenly ends

i like the dancing
the idiot-fair
when we're erring
in circles at night
in a motion
against diligence

that's what i like
that's what i like

but to live here
no thank you
but to live here
no thank you

(what i like: lighting, camera work, editing, understated quality of it all.)
         
One chord is more then enough
