Modern Talking, Blue System lyrics
Hot child in the City é uma música do cantor Nick Gilder. Em suas próprias palavras, a música se refere à prostituição infantil em Los Angeles.
"Eu vi muitas garotas jovens, de 15 e 16 anos, andando pela Hollywood Boulevard com seus cafetões. O ambiente doméstico as levou à distração, então elas fugiram, apenas para serem presas por algo ainda pior. Dói ver isso, então tentei escrever da perspectiva de uma libertina - disfarçada de uma canção pop inocente."
Suspeito, certo?

"Got a date, babe, With an Angel, With a hot child of the city"
Guess who that angel and hot child might be.
There is also another reference of it on "Just We Two (Mona Lisa)". (Hottest child of the city). We thought it could've been a reference of the childlike personality of someone. But you never know.... "Follow all your shadows" means stalking.
Down and out in Paris city
All the things are tough and pretty
Stay with me until the night is gone
What?
Maybe something to do with him remembering the moments he had with Thomas while walking around Paris on that 1985 trip?
Wow. I thought Dieter only began to write dissolute lyrics like that in the Blue System era. Turns out it started much earlier...
"Princess of the night" also sounds suspicious. I think it might refer to a child prostitute. To make a long story short:
- The same euphemism, "prince for a night", was initially planned to be used in a song about the American serial killer Pogo the Clown. It was produced by Bohlen's no. 1 rival Michael Cretu and released just months prior to In The Middle Of Nowhere. "Prince for a night" there referred to a little boy who was kidnapped, molested and murdered by Pogo. That euphemism was eventually excluded from the final version, but the original lyrics could have still be found in the booklets.
- Sex workers are generally associated with the nighttime. Slang terms for a prostitute include "creature of the night", "lady of the night", "woman of the night" etc.
- "Prince" or "princess" refers to someone young, maybe even underage. A mature person would rather be a "queen" of the night, not a "princess".
PS: Nick Gilder's vocals reminded me on Dieter for some reason 😀

It's alright - it's ok - it's an odysee
Dr Mabuse, Dr Mabuse
It's a shame he'll return - in a shade of grey
Dr Mabuse, Dr Mabuse
He's living in the Twilight Sky -
Lonley voices they will cry
In a Rain of Silence he returned
In a tempel he survived -
A Cathedral, dead man's life
He's the soldier and your heart will burn
He faced the devil - faced the hell
Can't look back - don't tell
It's alright - it's ok - it's an odysee
Dr Mabuse, Dr Mabuse
It's a shame he'll return - in a shade of grey
Dr Mabuse, Dr Mabuse
Every Night - Every Day on the run
He's the man - who has stolen the Sun
Oh he lost - all his life - all his dreams
Born hundred Years ago
Ohohohohohohohohoohooho
Oh Seven Ways of loneliness -
Tall strange Man, old black dress
You can see his silhouette in black
A kiss of Death - a secret Friend
He's the Loser in the End
The Soldier of the Darkness, he'll come back
He's knocking on forbidden doors
Like years and years before
It's alright - it's ok - it's an odysee
Dr Mabuse, Dr Mabuse
It's a shame he'll return - in a shade of grey
Dr Mabuse, Dr Mabuse
Every Night - Every Day on the run
He's the man - who has stolen the Sun
Oh he lost - all his life - all his dreams
Born hundred Years ago
Ohohohohohohohohoohooho
It's alright - it's ok - it's an odysee
Dr Mabuse, Dr Mabuse
It's a shame he'll return - in a shade of grey
Dr Mabuse, Dr Mabuse
Every Night - Every Day on the run
He's the man - who has stolen the Sun
Oh he lost - all his life - all his dreams
Born hundred Years ago
Ohohohohohohohohoohooho....

Literally the Live of Thomas
In what ways does this song refer to Thomas' life?

Please explain how?
"He faced the devil - faced the hell"
"Oh he lost - all his life - all his dreams"
"A kiss of Death - a secret Friend
He's the Loser in the End
The Soldier of the Darkness, he'll come back"
I looked up Dr Mabuse on Google and still wonder what does that word mean. I am not familiar with German culture.
