Fifteen song lyrics - hence the form, even if I sometimes took liberties. Nothing else has ever interested me. No poetry, especially not German literary poetry, mind you! - but lyrics, which are indeed in German. Back then, when the first of these texts were created in the early seventies, it was by no means certain that something like this would be possible: good, authentic song lyrics in German. Until then, there were mainly just German hits. Brrr. Contemporary poetic songs in German? Such a thing could only be guessed at.
