Alles neu for the Anglophones

Here we are again in stanze’s „torture the english language“ club. This time I try a translation of the song „Alles neu“ by Peter Fox. Fasten the dictionary belts and stop smoking anyways.
This lyrics have a lot of rhymes and I can’t reproduce most of them (and am way too lazy).

All is new
I burn down my studio, sniff the ashes like coke.
I slay my goldfish, bury him in the yard.
I blast my hangout, I let everything go. (uh…)
My old life tastes like limp biscuit.
Fry me a splendid steak, Peter cooks finest meat now.
I’m the update, Peter Fox 1.1.
I want to shake myself, party, but my pool is too small.
I grow a second set of choppers like the great white shark. (hoo…)
Waxed, doped, polished, brandnew teeth.
I became euphoriant and have expensive plans.
I buy me construction machines, dredgers, rollers and cranes.
I jump at Berlin and sound the sirens.
I build pretty loudspeaker arrays, basses knead your soul.
I am the wrecking ball for the g-g-g-german scene.Hey, all is shiny, that brand-new.
Hey, if you don’t like it, make it anew. (hoo…)
The world covered with dust but I want to see where I go.
Climb on the mountain of dirt because on top the wind blows.
Hey, all is shiny, that brand-new.

I’m fed up of my old clothes and let am rot in a bag.
I mothball them and then I go shopping naked.
I’m completely redecorated, chicks have something to stare at.
In rude health, buff, world champion of boxing and chess.
Only talking directly, give me a yes or a no.
Stop the falderal, I stop that old bosh.
If I ever smoke pot again, I’ll cut my leg with an axe.
I don’t want to lie again, I want to mean every sentence like it’s said.

My head bursts, I have to change all.
I search the button, meet the powerfull men.
Jive happiness on the country, buy banks and broadcast stations.
Everybody runs riot, trembling sheep and lambs.
I look better than Bono and am a common man.
Ready to rescue the world, though that might be flying a bit high.

Hey, all is shiny, that brand-new.
Hey, if you don’t like it, make it anew. (hoo…)
The air is used up here, it is hard to breath.
Bye bye I got to get out here, the walls are coming near.
The world covered with dust but I want to see where I go.
Climb on the mountain of dirt because on top the wind blows.
Hey, all is shiny, that brand-new.

Hey

For me untranslatable is the pun on jive: „Swing das Land zum Glück“. „Swing“ nearly sounds like „zwing“ and that means „to force“. „Jive happiness on the country“ sounds in german like „force happiness on the country“.

Check here for the official Youtube video and here for translations of „Haus am See“ and „Lok auf 2 Beinen“.

edit: I bought the cd „Stadtaffe“ on a german website, and couldn’t download it from France. But finally got it when my bf was in Germany.

edit2: I won’t post any of my translations anymore, because it can become expensive. In Germany it is illegal to post lyrics on the net without a licence to do so, and I bet it’s not much different in the rest of the world. I wrote an email to Peter Fox asking for a licence and got no answer. That means I have no licence to post the original lyrics nor the translation and Peter Fox could sue me.
That’s the internet, it looks as if all was free and such, the opposite is the case.
