about

Die Neue
Der postmoderne Kunstgriff der Bonnies in die Kostümkiste der Popkultur. Der wohl schillerndste Mittelfinger in Richtung Plattenindustrie, den man weit und breit finden kann! Knallt, ballert und macht Spass. Die bunte Fabel, mit Plattenboss in der Rolle des bösen Wolfs und dem A&R als listigem Fuchs. Sieben Geißlein? Gefressen. Die sechs Bonnies? Auf dem Weg nach ganz oben. Die kompakten Hits (no filler, all killer!) sind der "Tenniscourt" auf dem einem die Hooks wie Tennisbälle zwischen Keyboard und Stimme um die Ohren pfeifen. Die Handschrift ist unverkennbar: The Bonny Situation ist eine waschechte BAND, die beweist, dass "Alleine-machen" bei Kanalisieren alles Positiven absolut aufgeht!

The new one
The Bonny's postmodern plot device out of the popcultural treasure chest of costumes. The most glistening one-finger salute in the direction of the music industrie. Smashes, criticises and is pure fun at one time! The colourful fable, with the label boss as the bad wolf and the A&R in the role of the foxy fox. Seven little kids? Eaten by the wolf. Six little Bonnies? On their way to the top! The compact hit wonders (no filler, all killer!) build the tennis court, on which the hooks, played by keys and vocals, fly around like tennis balls. The band's identity is now unmistakable! The Bonny Situation is a real BAND, that proves, that "doing it all on your own" can become something completely satisfying when every capacity is canalised into the right direction.

Track Name: After All
now tomorrow has become today
and the grief inside of me hasn't gone away
we've never tried to learn the language of each other now it's my turn

there must be another reason i was acting like i did
the longer, apart we sit
the feeling that i thought i'd lost
now stronger than it was before
because i love you more

you have said a lot of things i couldn't understand
afterwards i have recognized that for each other we were meant
i hope that you will give us just one more chance
i simply don't believe in our love's end

there must be another reason i was acting like i did
the longer, apart we sit
the feeling that i thought i'd lost
now stronger than it was before
because i love you more
after all
Track Name: Gravity Spot
open up my eyes and see the waterfalls
pouring down your cheeks again
why do you ignore me
i'm not invisible
i'm standing right in front of you

please don't let me be misunderstood
i never wanted you to live in this lonely spot
i never wanted to be someone you still love

just one single word
come on and talk to me
you have completely withdrawn into yourself
i can understand that it's hard for you
the feelings you try to repress

Please don't let me be misunderstood.
I never wanted you to live in this lonely spot.
I never wanted to be someone you still love.

gravity spot
open up a change in love

please don't let me be misunderstood
i never wanted you to live in this lonely spot
i never wanted to be someone you still love

gravity
you will find a new love
Track Name: People
pressure by society makes me sick
how to stay clean
even if I stay at home
i'm convinced they've bucked the phone
my life is not a merchandise and it's not for sale

people are craving for sensation
they are hunters and i'm hunted

my private life, please let it be
there's a lack of morality
the golden shot will make them rich
get heavy on
digging my ditch
my life is not a merchandise and it's not for sale

people are craving for sensation
they are hunters and i'm hunted
People even dig in my ashes
did they notice that i'm hunted

check this out
the newscast says
he's out of control

people are craving for sensation
they are hunters and i'm hunted
People even dig in my ashes
did they notice that i'm hunted
Track Name: Medicine
hey
are you talking to me
or to your ego
small
you think you're small
you're not small
there will be your turn

spit out your disease to the ground
shout it out loud

talk
come on and talk
just talk
and not to your ego
to us
confide to us
confide in us
we will help you

spit out your disease to the ground
shout it out loud

it doesn't matter who you are

spit out your disease to the ground
shout it out loud
Track Name: Deaf Powder
one by one again
like something on assembly line
one by one again
and no one shows a true sign
one by one again
trying not to fall into the abyss
one by one again
when you waste your life on material habits

where it blooms on fields to carry higher yields
shining stars adorn their own coffin lid

one by one again
return the look, the crowd collapses
one by one again
to be controlled by human crap
one by one again
and after all it's just a song
one by one again
that you sing when your entire freedom is gone

where it blooms on fields to carry higher yields
shining stars adorn their own coffin lid

see your life with open eyes and a change in mind
see your life with open mind
don't waste your time

where it blooms on fields to carry higher yields
shining stars adorn their own coffin lid
Track Name: Thermometer
they say that life is a gift
but it's lost inside of me
they say that destiny is sometimes bad-tempered
and now i agree

they cannot rescue my soul
no one can degrade the cold

they say it was a terrible crash
that nobody survived
they say i am the only traveller
who might come back to life

they cannot rescue my soul
no one can degrade the cold
Track Name: Titletrack
you ain't got no balls
who told you that you don't need the balls
now your butt is tighter
nice backhand
what could be whiter, nothing
boy, you're young and unskilled
you've got no experience in this field
so what are you doing on our court
this is not your business and not your sport

call this a no-go
it's not made for the radio
this is the song, hard to sing but nice to clap along

stomp with your feet
feel the vibration of our beat
and later at the bar
tell your rivals how successful you are
you can swing a racket, which really could be nice
but without the balls, better think twice
what are you doing on our court
this is not your business and not your sport

call this a no-go
it's not made for the radio
this is the song, hard to sing but nice to dance along

hey, ho, no-go

call this a no-go
it's not made for the radio
this is the song, hard to sing but nice to bang along
Track Name: Two
this long road we have to follow seems endless
we're out of breath and drenched in sweat
when will these panic attacks finally die away
nausea and vertigo

we've lost our sense of time, the clock is ticking
these fucking seconds feel like hours
dragging pain in my back and my limbs
the only thing that makes me go on is you

we kick the habit as long as it takes
we're interdependent, so please don't fade away
we kick the habit, don't feed the machine
we try to be strong and try to get clean

these depressions are almost unbearable
and they make my head explode, holy lord
nothing is real, except you and me
and except the two of us

we kick the habit as long as it takes
we're interdependent, so please don't fade away
we kick the habit, don't feed the machine
we try to be strong and try to get clean

we kick the habit as long as it takes
we're interdependent, so don't fade away
whatever it takes.

we kick the habit as long as it takes
we're interdependent, so please don't fade away
we kick the habit, don't feed the machine
we try to be strong and try to get clean
Track Name: Pistolero
my paths have been crossed by so many people´s lives
only some hearts kept beating
after i passed them by
i shot them for money
i killed them for glory
i'm here to testify
to tell you the story

good fella mercy ain't no friend of mine
he pissed me off, quite some time ago
made me vanish into dust
reminded me not to trust by a bullet in my chest

call me the slaughterer
but all names shall not count
not as much as the damage
that i caused here in town

good fella mercy ain't no friend of mine
he pissed me off, quite some time ago
made me vanish into dust
reminded me not to trust by a bullet in my chest

watch them flying
watch them floating
watch them impale your flesh
i'm deaf for your begging
i want to share my collection of iron dragonflies

good fella mercy ain't no friend of mine
he pissed me off, quite some time ago
made me vanish into dust
reminded me not to trust by a bullet in my chest
Track Name: Sunday
i´m waiting for your arrival
we haven´t seen us for a long, long time
the rain keeps falling down
on the rooftop with irregularity

i wait
i try to wait

on a sunday
a rainy one
the clouds are filled
with selfdoubt

see the raindrops
they become a puddle of tears and loneliness
longing for the sun to make it all much brighter
and mutch easier

i wait
i try to wait

on a sunday
a rainy one
the clouds are filled
with selfdoubt

more rain
more clouds
less hope
more doubts

you are the sun
and I´m the day
you were the one
now washed away

wait

on a sunday
a rainy one
the clouds are filled
with selfdoubt
Track Name: The Tree
over man and animal, i grew too tall
but when I speak no one speaks to me at all
i grew too high and now i'm lonely
i wait, but what am i waiting for
close to the clouds i'm sitting
i wait for the first lightning
