There are tons of songs that have ground

deep furrows into our conscience, right?

At least to me there were several bands that made great impression

on me with their lyrics

already with 13 or so.

Bands my older sis listened to mostly: Supertramp, AlanParson, Prince.

But also DepecheMode, the 80's wave songs and the songs by Herbert Grönemeyer.

So here are links to some lyrics I`ve collected, some 'singles', some whole records.

But if I have them, you can always also download a text-file with the whole record's lyrics on.

For now I`ve put Heather Nova in the background, and a link to a fanpage of hers at the bottom of the page.

She`s one of my favorites at the moment.

Heather Nova download all lyrics

there is more to come at some time... Grönemeyer, Supertramp and Depeche are still missing for Example!
