I have a major favor to ask you.

Can someone please post the lyrics to the song "the world of genius hans" by the band "Moving Gelatine Plates"?? I'm incredibly curious as to what these guys are saying. Sometimes it sounds english, sometimes french. I can make out some of the words, like, "he had always dreamed to show us" or something like that. I'd kill to know what they are saying and I can't find the lyrics on the internet anywhere. If you can post them, I'd be quite happy. There arent many lyrics in the song really.

Moving forward, incredible band huh ??????

I've got the CD right here in front of me......

Leaving our cruel world forever
Genius Hans is getting better
He had always dreamt to show us
Nobody could kill a genius

Look up people, can you see the sky?
Did you think that Genius Hans could fly?
Am I mad or do you really cry?

Since the day I came here in that wonderful world, (do you see?)
I fight no more and I'm living much better.(do you see?)
Why should I work? I don't need money! (do you see?)
Here to buy happiness, I've not to pay.(do you see?)
I'm not a drudge here. I'm not a soldier. (do you see?)
Since the day I cam here in that wonderful world.(do you see?)

Please remind you still, Genius Hans.
When you were still among us.
Then none wished your death.
Well I can remember....
You'd better kill yourselves.

Jay 440,

I can't thank you enough. Really, it means a lot that you'd go out of your way to type these lyrics for a perfect stranger. Thank you!!

Aside from the song "the world of genius hans," I havent heard the rest of the album. I'd kill to hear it, but it's so rare and hard to come by....tho' I havent' looked all that hard...

The music to me seems really luscious. The lyrics seem to fit in with how I feel about life these days, "why should i work?" Brilliant.

I never would have guessed this was what the two singers were saying. They have extremely heavy french accents - ie the word "world" sounds like they're saying "word".

Again, thanks.
