The Nits - In The Dutch Mountains (Live aus dem Alabama 1987)

Live aus dem Alabama (später Live aus dem Nachtwerk und Live aus dem Schlachthof) war der Titel des renommierten, wöchentlichen Jugendmagazins des Bayerischen Rundfunks (BR). Namensgeber der Sendung war die Alabama-Halle in München, aus der live gesendet wurde.
Nits (bis 1988: The Nits, der Artikel wurde offiziell abgelegt) sind eine Popband aus Amsterdam.
Die Nits begannen 1974 als Gitarren-Pop-Band, wandten sich bald dem New Wave zu und kultivieren seitdem einen exzentrischen Stil, der Einflüsse von Minimal Music, Jazz und Independent Pop aufnimmt.
The Nits - In The Dutch Mountains (Lyrics):
I was born in the valley of bricks
Where the river runs high above the rooftops
I was waiting for the cars coming home late at night
From the Dutch mountains
I was standing in the valley of rock
Up to my belly in an early fog
I was looking for the road to a green painted house
In the Dutch mountains
In the Dutch mountains
Mountains
I met a woman in the valley of stone
She was painting roses on the walls of her home
And the moon is a coin with the head of the queen
Of the Dutch mountains
Mountains
I lost a button of my shirt today
It fell on the ground
And it was rolling away
Like a trail leading me back
To the Dutch mountains
To the Dutch mountains
Mountains
I met a miller on the back of a cow
He was looking for the wind but he didn't know how
I said: Follow the cloud that looks like a sheep
In the Dutch mountains
In the Dutch mountains
In the Dutch mountains
Mountains
