GoodBye my Germany Over the Rhein I go So slowly down the autobahn Through the driving snow ...and Frankfurt wouldn't let me go Tervuren wouldn't let me go Calais wouldn't let me go Feltham wouldn't let me go go go Midnight ice cold and fresh On the network of satellites I'm stretched I've been careering round up and down the countryside Blinded by bright break lights ...and Frankfurt wouldn't let me go Tervuren wouldn't let me go No Calais wouldn't let me go Feltham wouldn't let me go go go go Over the hills Over the border Under the stars Under the water GoodBye my Germany Over the Rhein I go So slowly down the autobahn Through the driving snow ...and Frankfurt wouldn't let me go Tervuren wouldn't let me go Calais wouldn't let me go Feltham wouldn't let me go go go go Over the hills Over the border Under the stars

Drains 03:41
With the sun in your eyes and a smile on your face You're so beautiful you radiate Never let the drains ever drag you down You're far too strong Too bright and clever You turn it all around Pick it up off the floor Now I love you so much more Everything is in place whenever you are around me As I contemplate just how you astound me You never let the drones ever wind you up You're far too clued Too shrewd and savvy You make your own luck Open up all the doors Now I love you so much more So much more Never let the drains ever drag you down You're far too strong Too bright and clever You turn it all around Pick it up off the floor Now I love you so much more So much more More More So much more

Miranda is dancing in a pink chiffon dress Looking every inch like a princess She pirouettes and curtsies as she tumbles to the floor She laughs out loud leaps up and runs for the door If I should fall on bended knees Cecilia Marie would you dance with me? Nina is turning around and around Her two feet barely touch the ground She keeps on spinning in a circle until the room becomes a blur She's doing her Whirling Dervisher If I politely ask you please Cecilia Marie care to dance with me? Dance with me Dance with me Dance with me If I should fall on bended knees Cecilia Marie would you care to dance with me? Dance with me Dance with me Dance with me

about

deXter Bentley UK

South London based band deXter Bentley began life as a rag tag collective of musicians at the turn of the millennium (though some members of the group have been writing & performing music together for more than 30 years!) The once 'elastic' line-up has now settled down to a hard-core quintet of Richard Bentley, Ric Clark, Joss Cope, Ean Ravenscroft & Mark Shaw. ... more
