On Patrol in No Man's Land - Einstürzende Neubauten

What the time?

Nine?

Fall in line

Alright, boys, now take it slow

Are you ready?

Steady!

Very good, Eddie

Over the top, let’s go

Quiet, lie it, else you’ll start a riot

Keep your proper distance, follow 'long

Cover, brother, and when you see me hover

Obey my orders and you won’t go wrong

There’s a Minenwerfer coming —

Look out!

Hear that roar, there’s one more … Stand fast, there’s a Very light …

Don’t gasp or they’ll find you all right!

Don’t start to bombing with those hand grenades

There’s a machine gun, holy spades!

Alert, gas!

Put on your mask

Adjust it correctly and hurry up fast!

Drop!

There’s a rocket from the Boche barrage …

Down!, hug the ground, close as you can

Creep and crawl, follow me, that’s all …

What do you hear?

Nothing near

Don’t fear, all is clear

That’s the life of a stroll

When you take a patrol

Out in No Man’s Land

Ain’t it grand?

Out in No Man’s Land

«We can’t stop these men … They are devils … They smile while they kill … and

you can’t catch them alive»

There’s a Minenwerfer …

«Right.

boys!

Go on’n’do it!

Get the bloody boys!

Get them on the bayonet!

… Ram it on!»

What do you hear?

Nothing near

Don’t fear, all is clear

That’s the life of a stroll

When you take a patrol

Out in No Man’s Land

Ain’t it grand?
