Alphaville ~ Sweet Needles Of Success (12 Years)


The circus is full of smoke After all this years Some were good, some were bad Didn't know what i was about to start when i started Though i wrote it all down God, i was so naive! When you're on the show, you've got to shoot not to sing Wasn't it worth anyway 12 years, 6 were good, 6 were bad 20.000 songs in my head and a toast to all the pimps in the world Here's to you Hey, hey, here's to you, till the last bullet's fired Welcome, sweet needles of success Here's to you, you got to shoot, not to sing Welcome, customers, whores, i still got my gun I still got my gun Look, i point at you There's a shadow on the target, i guess you call it future And the fingertip-orchestras sounded like spirit rapping on the radio The day i sold my music for less than a soul To a full-playback-pop-music-teenage-hero Here's to you, sweet needles of success Welcome, customers, whores, i still got my gun Here's to you, you got to shoot not to sing I still got some shots inside Welcome, sweet needles of succes Take me home, take me home Oh, sweet needles of success Here i go Into the dry-ice fog Gold/1990 more free lyrics

The circus is full of smoke
After all this years
Some were good, some were bad
Didn't know what i was about to start when i started
Though i wrote it all down
God, i was so naive!
When you're on the show, you've got to shoot not to sing

Wasn't it worth anyway
12 years, 6 were good, 6 were bad
20.000 songs in my head and a toast to all the pimps in the world
Here's to you
Hey, hey, here's to you, till the last bullet's fired
Welcome, sweet needles of success
Here's to you, you got to shoot, not to sing
Welcome, customers, whores, i still got my gun
I still got my gun
Look, i point at you

There's a shadow on the target, i guess you call it future
And the fingertip-orchestras sounded like spirit rapping on the radio

The day i sold my music for less than a soul
To a full-playback-pop-music-teenage-hero
Here's to you, sweet needles of success
Welcome, customers, whores, i still got my gun
Here's to you, you got to shoot not to sing
I still got some shots inside

Welcome, sweet needles of succes
Take me home, take me home
Oh, sweet needles of success
Here i go
Into the dry-ice fog

Globalized Sounds

Today, beautiful European and American music, an Afrobeats recorded in Lagos, can play in headphones in Tokyo; a South Korean idol group can fill an Argentine stadium to capacity. On Spotify, the playback volume of African music has increased by 500% in five years; K-pop has already transcended the Asian border and become a common language for young people all over the world; Latin music has consistently topped the streaming charts for several consecutive years. The world is getting smaller while the scope of music is expanding.

The Power of the Scene

When the lights dim and the first note is played, strangers become synchronized. The tremor when thousands sing together, and the melody that still echoes after the crowd disperses - this is an experience that no screen can convey. We look forward to the return of large-scale concerts to the essence of music, and we also look forward to small livehouses continuing to nourish the most vibrant soil of music.

Crossing Borders

Music transcends languages - even if you don't understand the lyrics, you can still shed tears or dance. It transcends cultures - the drumbeats of Nigeria and the chants of Iceland coexist under the same sky. It transcends generations - a song from half a century ago can still bring tears to the eyes of today's young people.

We Create Together

The future of global music is not determined by algorithms, nor is it monopolized by a few giants. It is shaped by every person who presses the play button. Maintain your curiosity, step out of your comfort zone. Support independent musicians and attend live performances. Seek connections through music - because we believe that a song can change a day, and music can change the world.
