Which are your favourite lyrics? Not being a native English speaker myself I can't really judge, so I ask of all those whose mother tongue is English that how do you experience Dieter's lyrics or spelling?
I like all the spoken lyrics in which Dieter plays these roles of slightly sad geezers, like Random Tox, Lou Norman or the guy in Desire:
"Morning heat
Puts a thin film of sweat on my face
A little man, his eyes half closed
Puts chairs on tables
Admires his work
And collects a quarter from the floor
I head over to Broadway
Where I watch myself
Having a slow breakfast
Trying to impress the barman with a fresh voice
When I ask for the bill"
I just can't help chuckling every time I hear this bit.
BTW, is this supposed to be barman or barmaid, there seems to be different interpretations about this?
Favourite Yello lyrics?

I'm with Julz, plus i really enjoy "Of Course I'm Lying", another great example of how Dieter can create mini-movies using his words.
Take me in your arms and hold me tight just for tonight
I need no drugs I love your lies
You hide me from the night
You're lying, I'm buying
I'm buying every word
I love your lies
I love your games
Take me in your arms and hold me tight just for tonight
I need no drugs I love your lies
You hide me from the night
You're lying, I'm buying
I'm buying every word
I love your lies
I love your games
Graeme posted these lyrics on the list. Figure I would repost them here.
Move Dance Be Born
Move Dance Be Born
Move Dance Be Born
Move Dance Be Born
Move Dance Be Born
Living on a dancefloor
I'm a victim of the rhythm
I'm a dervish of the hidden
Gotta shake it
Never fake it
I'm a spinner with a goal
I wanna move, dance, be born
(repeats)
Loose your body
Leave your mind
Somewhere, sometimes
Tonight
Leave your body
Loose your mind
Somewhere, sometimes
Tonight
Move Dance Be Born
Move Dance Be Born
Move Dance Be Born
Move Dance Be Born
Move Dance Be Born
Living on a dancefloor
I'm a victim of the rhythm
I'm a dervish of the hidden
Gotta shake it
Never fake it
I'm a spinner with a goal
I wanna move, dance, be born
(repeats)
Loose your body
Leave your mind
Somewhere, sometimes
Tonight
Leave your body
Loose your mind
Somewhere, sometimes
Tonight
