Da Da Da (Remmler/Krawinkel)
Published by EMI Music.
This is the John Peel version. Other versions: album, Alpine Stars Skimix.

Justine: "I found this old Casio Vialtone in the market and took it into rehersals.I put it up to the mic and started doing 'Da Da Da' over it. Shag just started doing wild things over it. The original is so simple, it's kind of a blueprint for a song so we had a lot of room to fuck about with it. It's always nice to do a cover, it's quite relaxing. I grew up listening to that song. It was a pop-tastic one hit wonder when I was like 12 or 13 but I kind of got a kick out of it."


what you do and what you don’t
what you will and what you won’t
what you can and what you can’t
this is what you got to know
loved you though it didn’t show

ich lieb dich nicht du liebst mich nicht...

da da da...

da da da, i don’t love you, you don’t love me...

i know why you went away
understand you couldn’t stay
wonder where you are today
after all is said and done
it was right for you to run
