Die-80er-waren-die-geilste-Zeit-meines-Lebens

und im Nachhinein bedaure ich, sie nicht *noch* besser genutzt zu haben.

Da gab es noch Hertie und Horten und im Osten VEB, LPG und Merkel ging noch in die Kaufhalle.

You've gone too far this time
and I'm dancing on the valentine
I tell you somebody's fooling around
with my chances on the danger line

I'll cross that bridge when I find it
another day to make my stand, oh-oh
High time is no time for deciding
if I should find a helping hand, oh-oh

Why don't you use it?
Try not to bruise it!
Buy time, don't lose it!

Why don't you use it?
Try not to bruise it!
Buy time, don't lose it!

The reflex is an only child
just waiting by the park
The reflex is in charge of finding
treasure in the dark
And watching over lucky clover
isn't that bizarre?
Every little thing the reflex does
leaves you answered with a question mark

I'm on a ride and I wanna get off
but they won't slow down the roundabout
I sold the Renoir and the TV set,
don't wanna be around when this gets out!

Why don't you use it?
Try not to bruise it!
Buy time, don't lose it!

Why don't you use it?
Try not to bruise it!
Buy time, don't lose it!

The reflex is an only child
just waiting by the park
The reflex is in charge of finding
treasure in the dark
And watching over lucky clover
isn't that bizarre?
Every little thing the reflex does
is an answer with a question mark

Why don't you use it?
Try not to bruise it!
Buy time, don't lose it!

Why don't you use it?
Try not to bruise it!
Buy time, don't lose it!

The reflex is an only child
just waiting by the park
The reflex is in charge of finding
treasure in the dark
And watching over lucky clover
isn't that bizarre?
Every little thing the reflex does
leaves me answered with a question mark

The reflex, what a game,
is hiding all the cards
The reflex is in charge of finding
treasure in the dark
And watching over lucky clover
isn't that bizarre?
Every little thing the reflex does
leaves you answered with a question mark

Das fetzte damals, April 1984 in meinem Ghettoblaster (Sharp GF-7300), trotz fortdauernder Codein-Dröhnung im Schädel... und das fetzt bis heute! Wenn es in meiner Musiksammlung Titel mit vierstelliger Spielhäufigkeit geben sollte, »The Reflex« (und mit ihm das ganze »Seven And The Ragged Tiger«-Album) ist auf jeden Fall dabei...

Fleflex!!!

Man muss loslassen können. Einfach loslassen. Diese Zeit ist vorbei und lange her. Die Welt bewegt sich weiter. Viele sind von uns gegangen. Ikonen ihrer Zeit. Trauert nicht nach, sonst wird es Jugendwahn. Ihr macht euch dann nur lächerlich indem ihr den alten Zeiten nachtrauert.
