Nobody in the world can get along with you
You got the ways of a devil sleeping in a lion’s den
I come home last night you wouldn’t even let me in.

Some dream of a country
Where they could choose their partners freely
And have their love recognized
Some dream of wilderness
Where wild animals roam free
And there’s not a single oil well in sight

There is a house in New Orleans
Not the one you heard about
I’m talking ‘bout another house
They spoke of gold in the cellar
That a spanish gentleman had left

Jump off a cliff, don’t need your help so back off

When timely death my life and fortune ends,
Let not my hearse be vexed with mourning friends,
But let all lovers, rich in triumph, come
And with sweet pastimes grace my happy tomb;
And Lesbia, close up thou my little light,
And crown with love my ever-during night.

21:39 <dblack> zem: trying to turn the tide in favor of the 'eigen' terminology? :-)
21:40 <KirinDave> That's because it's superior. It's german, you know. Nothing in german or from germany can be bad.

and their moustaches caked with airplane glue.
