Ashra may refer to:
Ashra is a project begun by Manuel Göttsching in 1976, initially to facilitate his solo career although other members were included later on. The band's name is an abbreviation of the name of Gottsching's previous band, Ash Ra Tempel. The name was changed as Gottsching's music became less psychedelic and more oriented towards electronica.
Ash Ra Tempel played their last concert in February 1973, their final album Starring Rosi was recorded later that year (featuring future Ashra member Harald Grosskopf). At the demise of Ash Ra Tempel, Göttsching remained musically inactive until 1975 when he released his debut solo album Inventions for Electric Guitar. This album introduced the effects he would later make use of in his work as Ashra, but in a much more basic form. Later that year Göttsching was commissioned to record a film soundtrack. The resulting album was released in 1993 as Le Berceau de Cristal under the Ash Ra Tempel name, despite the fact that none of the original members of that band feature. Instead, Gottsching was backed by former Agitation Free guitarist Lutz Ulbrich, who would go on to collaborate with Gottsching as Ashra.
Every season of my life
People say it , she go far
I exceeded what as needed
Do you wanna know what I came here for
Turn the lights way down
I will find you somewhere in the dark
I'm lying with you , you're lying with me
I want to show you what I know so far
By doing it right
I'm working on my design
I'm making love with a friend of mine
I wanna do it , I'll get you through it
There's nothing to it
You won't be leaving me with a star
Oh teacher , you get the test of my love
No matter what you learn
Oh teacher you got the best time , the last time
But this time you're gonna get burned
Oh teacher , you made me study all night
After the end of term
Oh teacher ,you've got the first time , the last time
But this time you're gonna get burned
Walk , think , act
As the book to you defines
Reach out for the one you love
It may be someone you left behind
You're the reason that I breathe
You're the savior of my nights
Did I leave you without a lover
But I never let you out of sight
You're gonna be mine
I've got a wider range
We keep the system but the rules may change
My lips are wetter , I do it better
And if you let me I can help you grow
Baby , don't say no
Oh teacher , you get the test of my love
No matter what you learn
Oh teacher , you've got the best time , the last time
But this time you're gonna get burned
Oh teacher , you made me study all night
After the end of term
Oh teacher , you've got the first time , the last time
But this time you're gonna get burned
Talk , move , smile
Do it right
We know the way
Watch out for the danger lies
In any game that you wanna play
In any game
Oh teacher , you get the test of my love
No matter what you learn
Oh teacher , you've got the best time , the last time
But this time you're gonna get burned
Oh teacher , you made me study all night
After the end of term
Oh teacher , you've got the first time , the last time
But this time you're gonna get burned
