After The Fire were formed in the UK in 1972 by keyboard player Peter Banks, Andy Piercy (guitar, bass), Ivor Twidell (drums) and John Russell (guitar). The market was responsive to UK adult-orientated rock during the early 70s but the band's mixture of "pomp Christian pop" was slow to break through. They eventually secured a contract following the release of their debut album on their own label. CBS Records invested in them and they were rewarded with a UK Top 40 hit, "One Rule For You", in 1979. The accompanying album, although polished, sold only to the converted. The band's subsequent recordings were minor hits until the unexpected major success of "Der Kommissar". Originally recorded by Falco in his native Germany, After The Fire's version went on to sell over a million copies worldwide, and made the US Top 5. However, by the time it charted, the group had already broken up, frustrated by record company indecision and the Christian ethos that "made things worse, as we couldn't have a good old swearing and slanging match." Banks built his own studio before becoming managing director of Maldon Computer Company, a software and networking enterprise. Twidell released three Christian rock solo albums, Waiting For The Sun (1981), Secret Service (1981) and Duel (1983), after leaving the group following the debut album. He then became a member of the Bedfordshire police force. Russell was last sighted working in a hi-fi shop. Piercy retained the rights to the name, although it was now abbreviated to ATF. Still a practising Christian, after submitting an unreleased solo album for CBS he went on to do production work for the Truth, T'Pau (when they were known as Talking America) and Gary Numan. Lyrics for Der Kommissar (After The Fire)Zwei drei vier one two three It's easy to see But it's not that I don't care so 'Cause I hear it all the time But they never let you know On the TV and the radio She was young her heart was pure But every night night is bright she got She said sugar is sweet She come rappin' to the beat Then I knew that she was hot She was singin' Don't turn around, oh oh Der Kommissar's in town, oh oh You're in his eye And you'll know why The more you live The faster you will die Alles klar, Herr Kommissar? She said babe you know I miss Jill and Joe And all my funky friends But my street understanding was just enough to know what she really meant And I got to thinking while she was talking That I know she told the story Of those special places that she goes When she rides with the others in the subway Singin' Don't turn around, oh oh Der Kommissar's in town, oh oh And if he talks to you And you don't know why You say your life Is gonna make you die... Alles klar, Herr Kommissar? Well we meet Jill and Joe And brother Tim And the whole cool gang and oh They're rappin' here they're rappin' there But she's climbin' on the wall It's a clear case, Herr Kommissar Cause all the children know They're all slidin' down into the valley They're all slipping on the same snow Hear the children Don't turn around, oh oh Der Kommissar's in town, oh oh He's got the power And you're so weak And your frustration will not let you speak Don't turn around, oh oh Der Kommissar's in town, oh oh And if he talks to you Then you'll know why The more you live The faster you will die Don't turn around, oh oh Der Kommissar's in town, oh oh Guitar Tab, Guitar Tablature or Bass Tab, Bass Tablature for Der Kommissar Here are some other details for Der Kommissar - New Wave | Return To GuitArrangements - Show Me Songs
