Populární německá hardrocková skupina. Založena v r. 1965 v Hannoveru, v době, kdy R. Schenkerovi (nar. 1948) bylo teprve 17 let (stejně starý je i K. Meine). Začínali s písničkami Who, Rolling Stones a Kinks. Sestava se stabilizuje až v r. 1971....
Well, sitting on a stone,
Sitting all alone,
Sticky things are rolling down the mountain.
Well, see the lonesome tramp
Who´s living in the damp
Nobody´s in the valley
Shine on, shine on, Sun - oh it´s so cold right here
Shine on, shine on, Sun - shine on all night long
Daydreams are of silent blue
Icy wings will carry you.
Midnight Sun will never shine
Just ravings of a fool you think
And laugh about him all the time.
Shine on, shine on, Sun - oh it´s so cold right here
Shine on, shine on, Sun - shine on all night long
White pale velvet Autumn Sun will fade away
Forgotten Life will finish now in endless grey.
Some days are drifting haze
Some days are glowing blaze
Some days are tides of life...
Staggerin´ along a tropic highway
Crazy lights are whirling ´round and ´round
Hell or heaven - Night or Day?
Burning fingers push the Sun away...
Shine on, shine on, Sun...
