lyrics

Rise and shine, I'm off to the factory
Work to buy the meat and pay the rent
Catch the train, cook supper for the family
Dreaming only of our sweet Sunday…

You and me, Willie - you and me, Maxie
Where the boys are handsome and the children play
You and I, Willie, you and I, Maxie
By the banks of the Lake Wannsee

Where the sun shines on the waters
You can find us there with our legs all bare
For we’re modern sons and daughters
And we’ve borne our share just to earn our play
By the banks of the Lake Wannsee

Now they say they’re closing up the factories
Now they say the enemy’s to blame
And they say it’s right that we must make war
But a fine war, not like the one before

Far away, Willie, far away, Maxie
Far away from the lake where the children play
Fire away, Willie, make ‘em pay, Maxie
Do it all for the Lake Wannsee

And the sun shines on the waters
See our tanks roll sure, for to make us pure
We are chosen sons and daughters
We are God’s delight - bring your torch tonight
Make it right on the Lake Wannsee

Rise and shine, I’m off to the factory
(So far away)
Making planes that rip apart the sky
(The boys and I just think of home)
Catch the train - I miss you
(We caught that train)
On the day they brought you home to stay
In a box, Willie - in a box, Maxie
For to lay in the ground on a sweet Sunday
In a grave, Willie, in a grave, Maxie
By the banks of the Lake Wannsee

And the fire rained down
Over Berlin town
And the blood flowed on the waters
And the trees all black
Say we can’t go back
For we’re history’s sons and daughters

So we die with our secrets and we bear our shame
And we raise the plaques with the million names
And we wait for the world to erase the blame
So our grandsons and granddaughters

See the lake shine
On a Sunday
Where the boys are handsome
And the children play
Join the big world
Make a new day
By the banks of the Lake Wannsee

Weimar Berlin meets New Orleans! The Love Markets bring bite and soul to their modern mashup of bordello brass, funky bass and sultry cabaret rhythm, luring you into alleys haunted by pulp heroines and speakeasies rich with subversion.

"Irresistible.. A deliciously dark carnival."
-Seattle Magazine

"Ruffle-clad ruffians...Angie Louise is a singer- songwriter with fearsome chops."
