Home is where your hat is. Home is a kitchen table. Home is the people that save your life. Again and again.
Fräulein Niemand are…
…Vici and Laura. Two women from Potsdam/Germany who play guitar and sing. They love indie, adore country, are not scared of pop and harbor a secret lust for show choir music and Disney movies.
lyrics
We’re in a bar and it’s late and dark and way too loud
I can’t go home I have to see him with her right in front of me
You look over and you’re anxious ‘cause you know what’s going on
You always do and you can sense that now I need you to be strong
And then I cry and you take it like a man
No awkward silence no shaking going on
You just open your arms and let me in
And for that you are my friend
Again and again
It was the day that she died and you took me out my skin
We went drinking and dancing and God knows what other sin
I don’t know how you do it celebrate a stranger’s life
But somehow you made me smile on this darkest of all nights
And then I’m screaming on the platform going wild
You come running hold me close oh so tight
I don’t know how I got home that night
I guess for that you are my friend
Again and again
Now we’re walking up the hill and you have us all in stitches
I don’t know what beer does to you but I wish I had that, too
Your Irish accent’s getting thicker and is hard to understand
All I know is that I wouldn’t wanna be here with anyone else
And I don’t like goodbyes but the best was yours
You just looked at me and said those three words
Suddenly I hear myself say the same
And for that you are my friend
And for that I’ll be your friend
Again and again
