Mit AlanParsonsProject ist es wie mit dem »Spiegel« oder, noch besser gesagt, wie mit McDonald's-Junkfood: man weiß, dass es nicht wirklich gut für einen ist, trotzdem ist da etwas Unwiderstehliches... ist es der Bart von Eric Woolfson? Das Mystifax-Brimborium um Pyramiden und Edgar Allan Poe? Oder einfach der Umstand, dass Herr Parsons »Dark Side Of The Moon« von PinkFloyd produziert hat und auch schon bei den letzten beiden Beatles-Alben am Mischpult stand? Meine Einstiegsdroge war jedenfalls »Don't Answer Me« vom 1984er Album »Ammonia Avenue«...

If you believe in the power of magic,
I can change your mind,
and if you need to believe in someone
turn a look behind
When we walk, living in a dreamworld,
clouds got in the way
we gave it up in a moment of madness
and threw it all away

Don't answer me, don't break the silence,
don't let me win,
don't answer me, stay on your island,
don't let me in
Gone away and hide from everyone,
can you change the things we've said or done?

If you believe in the power of magic,
it's all a fantasy
and if you need to believe in someone,
just pretend it's me
It ain't enough that we met as strangers
I can't set you free
so will your turn your back forever
or what you mean with me?

Don't answer me, don't break the silence,
don't let me win,
don't answer me, stay on your island,
don't let me in
Gone away and hide from everyone,
can you change the things we've said or done?

(Solo)

Don't answer me, don't break the silence,
don't let me win,
don't answer me, stay on your island,
don't let me in,
gone away and hide from everyone

Don't answer me, don't break the silence,
don't let me win,
don't answer me, stay on your island,
don't let me in,
can you change the things we've said or done?
