Klingon Bells … Part 13


'About arguing about statistics and city names', I say, 'we have missed two important characters and plot points for Happy Rotter and the Secret of Time.'

'Really?' the llama asks. 'You want to talk about that? Or is this just to hide that you are using Appletown again?'

'Appletown is and will always be in the lead, I think. Maybe it is in fact the most sung city, a modern Babylon, the Metropolis of this universe. Who are we to want to change this? But what about Happy Rotter and his own world? Don't you want to know more about his fate, about his background story?'

'You are getting kind of pathetic here', the animal says, 'and I don't know whether there is more than one meaning to the word pathetic. But didn't the dude you called Dewt Salamander …'

'Friends can call him Dewton', I interrupt.

'Okay', the llama says, 'didn't he have his first adventure in the movies in Appletown as well?'

'Maybe', I say, 'but I don't want to talk about him at the moment. There is another time and another place for him and another figure he is or might be connected to.'

'Okay', the animal says. 'And The Inevitable Bulk is only a member of The Revenger.'

I wave my fist in the air.

'Revengers to the rescue!' I exclaim. 'But that was supposed to be the end of this story. Doya, the Yeti-Master, is way more important to the story than the green anger monster.'

'Okay', there is this word again. 'Go on.'

'No', I say, 'now the desire to talk about Doya I lost.'

The llama is rolling its' eyes.

'Well', it says shrugging. 'what could I do?'


"Bromford, Rio, Rosenheim"

Wir strahl'n wie ein Reaktor
nach nem Pilsrisotto
unsere Liebe wankt nicht
wie die Partei im Wahlkampflotto
unser Fieber steigt
schneller als der Meeresspiegel
wir woll'n nicht Leben
wie ein eingerollter Igel
wir lieben unser Leben
und das Göttliche in jedem.
sie schüren Angst und Frust
wir haben darauf keine Lust

Knips die Sonne aus
alles muss dunkel sein
zündet die Kerzen an
in Bromford, Rio, Rosenheim.
Die Welt ist groß genug
wir sind nicht allein
zündet ein Leuchtsignal
in Bromford, Rio, Rosenheim

Wir surfen euer Lügenmeer
verkauft uns nicht für dumm
wir wissen ihr tratscht schwer
nur wer hat die Macht
wer macht was warum
wir lieben unser Leben
das gemeinsame in jedem
wer hat schon Bock auf Angst und Frust
wir haben darauf keine Lust

Knips die Sonne aus
alles muss dunkel sein
zündet die Kerzen an
in Bromford, Rio, Rosenheim.
Die Welt ist groß genug
wir sind nicht allein
zündet ein Leuchtsignal
in Bromford, Rio, Rosenheim

Knips die Sonne aus
alles muss dunkel sein
zündet die Kerzen an
in Bromford, Rio, Rosenheim.
Die Welt ist groß genug
wir sind nicht allein
zündet ein Leuchtsignal
in Bromford, Rio, Rosenheim

Knips die Sonne aus
alles muss dunkel sein
zündet die Kerzen an
in Bromford, Rio, Rosenheim.
Die Welt ist groß genug
wir sind nicht allein
zündet ein Leuchtsignal
in Bromford, Rio, Rosenheim
