That's Me is a song by Russ and The Velvets featuring Till Lindemann. It is the eleventh track on the Lady Revolver album.

Information

• The recordings with Till took place in 1994 (according to the booklet) or in Winter 1995 (according to songwriter Kai-Uwe Kohlschmidt), but the song was released in 2010.
• The song can't be found on digital versions of the album, it's only available on the CD, which is out of print.
• The song was written for the short movie "Scheißleben" by Bernd Heiber, which was released in 1996. It played in a bar scene, where only losers were sitting, but being proud of their lives. None of them speaks English, which Kai-Uwe tried to show through the silly pronounced English and weird lyrics.

Lyrics

Album version

​​In my youth I was a farmer Said and ridden was my life No bad harvest, no sick neighbors No, my problem was a wife She was the devil's falling angel But you never know before I'm not a ripper, but I should be And become one Let your dreams swim in the ocean But you wake up straight at night Look all love is sweet devotion My baby told me before she died She was a mussel, her pearl was stolen When she tumbled back on my ground So I traded in a white shark Gulped her down But you know, you know That's me Oh yeah In the rain I found a mirror It explained me who I am Ten years later it was broken And I've got lost in a swamp In my next life I'm an angel I promise you, oh yeah But now I need this tiny danger Until I die But you know, you know That's me Bullshit happens, time is wasted Thousand stories I know from them Take a trip with me in white knights You will travel through them again In my next life I'm an angel I promise you, oh yeah But now I need this tiny danger Until I die But you know, you know That's me Oh yeah
