RRolando lemmy.world1Hide 1 replyGood song. The song was written as a reaction to the growing use of hard drugs in Vienna. In 1980, Falco arrived at a Drahdiwaberl rehearsal with his music and lyrics for "Ganz Wien (... ist heut auf Heroin)" ("All of Vienna [... is high on heroin today]"). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ganz_Wien2
Brimstone replylemmy.worldIndeed, thanks for the historical note Rolando. The lyrics in english are like this (deepl.com translation) He walks on the street Don't say where His brain full of heavy metal And his liver is dead His veins are open And smell like formalin It's all very distressing Like he is in Vienna All of Vienna Is on heroin today All of Vienna Dreams with Mozambin All of Vienna, Vienna, Vienna Also takes cocaine In the ball season at all You can see all of Vienna, Vienna, Vienna Is so wonderfully there, there, there Cocaine and codeine Heroin and mozambine Make us go, go, go There, there, one, two, three Cocaine and codeine Heroin and mozambine Make us go, go, go, go, go Three, four2

He walks on the street
Don't say where
His brain full of heavy metal
And his liver is dead
His veins are open
And smell like formalin
It's all very distressing
Like he is in Vienna
All of Vienna
Is on heroin today
All of Vienna
Dreams with Mozambin
All of Vienna, Vienna, Vienna
Also takes cocaine
In the ball season at all
You can see all of Vienna, Vienna, Vienna
Is so wonderfully there, there, there
Cocaine and codeine
Heroin and mozambine
Make us go, go, go
There, there, one, two, three
Cocaine and codeine
Heroin and mozambine
Make us go, go, go, go, go
Three, four
