Check it out, yo

Two, three, four
Eins, zwei drei
Na, es is' nix dabei
Na, wenn ich eich erzähl' die G'schicht'
Nichts desto trotz
Ich bin es schon gewohnt
Im TV-Funk da läuft es nicht
Ja, sie war jung
Das Herz so rein und weiß
Und jede Nacht hat ihren Preis
Sie sagt: „Sugar Sweet
You got me rappin' to the heat!“
Ich verstehe, sie ist heiß
Sie sagt: „Babe, you know
I miss my funky friends“
Sie meint Jack und Joe und Jill
Mein Funkverständnis
Ja, das reicht zur Not
Ich überreiß, was sie jetzt will
Ich überleg' bei mir
Ihr Nas'n spricht dafür
Währenddessen ich noch rauch'
Die Special Places sind ihr wohlbekannt
Ich mein', sie fährt ja U-Bahn auch
Dort singen's

„Drah' di net um, oh oh oh
Schau, schau, der Kommissar geht um, oh oh oh
Er wird di anschauen
Und du weißt warum
Die Lebenslust bringt dich um“

Alles klar, Herr Kommissar?

Hey wanna buy some stuff, man?
How did you ever rap that thing, Jack?
So rap it to the beat
Wir treffen Jill and Joe
Und dessen Bruder Hip
Und auch den Rest der coolen Gang
Sie rappen hin, sie rappen her
Dazwischen kratzen's ab die Wänd'
Dieser Fall ist klar
Lieber Herr Kommissar
Auch wenn sie and'rer Meinung sind
Den Schnee auf dem wir alle talwärts fahren
Kennt heute jedes Kind
Jetzt das Kinderlied

„Drah di net um, oh oh oh
Schau, schau, der Kommissar geht um, oh oh oh
Er hat die Kraft und wir san klein und dumm
Und dieser Frust macht uns stumm“

„Drah di net um, oh oh oh
Schau, schau, der Kommissar geht um, oh oh oh“
Wenn er di anspricht
Und du weißt warum
Sag eahm
Dein Leben bringt di um

Alles klar, Herr Kommissar?

„Drah di net um, oh oh oh
Schau, schau, der Kommissar geht um, oh oh oh
Er hat die Kraft und wir san klein und dumm
Und dieser Frust macht uns stumm“

„Drah di net um, oh oh oh
Schau, schau, der Kommissar geht um, oh oh oh“
Wenn er di anspricht
Und du weißt warum
Sag eahm
Dein Leben bringt dich um

La la la la la la

„Drah di net um, oh oh oh
Schau, schau, der Kommissar geht um, oh oh oh“

„Drah di net um, oh oh oh
Schau, schau, der Kommissar geht um, oh oh oh“

„Drah di net um, oh oh oh
Schau, schau, der Kommissar geht um, oh oh oh“

    Everyone's probably seen the official video for this song, but it's worth seeking out the others.

    Falco appeared on various national clones of Top of the Pops, as with most popular European songs of the 80s. Many of them are just generic TotP-style performances, with Falco and his band lip syncing in front of trippy mirrors and video effects. But some of them, he tries to reproduce the video live, on a small stage, with no budget. I remember the Dutch one, the "police cars" in the background are replaced by blue lights shining through sheets on a laundry line.

    But the best one of all—and unfortunately I don't remember the country—has him just walking around with a monkey for no apparent reason. (Touch my monkey! Liebe meine Abschminke!)

    It's also worth looking for recordings of his festival performances. For one thing, getting the crowd to sing along with "cha! cha!" avoids the usual problem of half the audience not knowing the words and the other half being unable to carry the tune. And of course he's just a brilliant, energetic performer. But also, he usually throws in an extra chorus using After the Fire translation to English, which is odd the first time you hear it.

He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.

Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
