(Rotterdam)
AND THE WOMEN
TUG THEIR HAIR
LIKE THEY'RE TRY'NA PROVE
IT WON'T FALL OUT
AND ALL THE MEN
ARE GARGOYLES
DIPPED LONG IN IRISH STOUT
THE WHOLE PLACE IS PICKLED
THE PEOPLE ARE
PICKLES FOR SURE
AND NO-ONE KNOWS IF THEY'VE
DONE MORE HERE THAN THEY
EVER WOULD DO IN A JAR...
THIS COULD BE ROTTERDAM
OR ANYWHERE
LIVERPOOL OR ROME
'CAUSE ROTTERDAM IS ANYWHERE
ANYWHERE ALONE
ANYWHERE ALONE
(Don't Marry Her)
THINK OF YOU
WITH PIPE AND SLIPPERS
THINK OF HER IN BED
LAYING THERE
JUST WATCHING TELLY
THINK OF ME INSTEAD
I'LL NEVER GROW
SO OLD AND FLABBY
THAT COULD NEVER BE
DON'T MARRY HER, HAVE ME
AND YOUR LOVE LIFE
SHINES LIKE CARDBOARD
BUT YOUR WORK SHOES
ARE GLISTENING
SHE'S A P.H.D.
IN I TOLD YOU SO
YOU'VE A KNIGHTHOOD
IN I'M NOT LISTENING
SHE'LL GRAB YOUR
SWEATY BOLLOCKS
THEN SLOWLY RAISE HER KNEE
DON'T MARRY HER, HAVE ME
AND THE SUNDAY SUN
SHINES DOWN ON
SAN FRANCISCO BAY
AND YOU REALISE
YOU CAN'T MAKE IT ANYWAY
YOU HAVE TO WASH THE CAR
TAKE THE KIDDIES TO THE PARK
DON'T MARRY HER, HAVE ME
(Everybody's Talkin')
EVERYBODY'S TALKIN' AT ME
I CAN'T HEAR
A WORD THEY'RE SAYIN'
ONLY THE ECHOES OF MY MIND
PEOPLE STOPPIN' STARIN'
I CAN'T SEE THEIR FACES
ONLY THE SHADOWS
OF THEIR EYES
I'M GOIN'
WHERE THE SUN KEEPS SHININ'
THROUGH THE POURIN' RAIN
GOIN' WHERE THE WEATHER
SUITS MY CLOTHES...
BACKIN' OFF OF
THE NORTH-EAST WIND AND
SAILIN' ON A SUMMER BREEZE
TRIPPIN' OVER THE OCEAN
LIKE A STONE
EVERYBODY'S TALKIN' AT ME...
OOH...
OOH-OOH-OOH-OOH-OOH-OOH
OH-WOAH-WOAH
