lyrics

charles, john, bob, brad, george, paul

i´m the first to go
you´ll be the last to leave
you´ll keep stayin there, drinkin
while i long for sleep

you dance cross the room
while i only jig tippy-toes
and someone is yellin
„go, go, go!“

i´ve got a numb tongue
you´ve got a fast mouth
i just swallow the words
you are spittin out loud

after gallons of beer
i can get
no drunken head
while the rest of me´s gettin drunk instead

but i can

drink like charles
dance like john
rhyme like bob
givin birth to
a million great songs

look cute like brad
or george or paul
the mirror´s my witness
i can take the best out
of them all
when i´m alone
with me

the music´s too loud
some kinda 80ties pop shit
and i think we look pretty much cooler
than all those kids

everyone bangs his head
and everyone laughs
you, me,
the loners, the losers
the punkrock-dwarfs

a last cigarette
a last liquor-shot
a last kiss
goodbye my darling,
please wake me up

when you come home late
to give me new dutch names
and to call me your
forever-man
