YAY! A new album by Voltaire :D
I had just to draw something to this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5u1_VR-71Bk&feature=related
Am I right that the melody is very close, even not the same like the beginning and the ending in the musical 'The Repo Man'?
The other day, I took a walk because the air was sweet.
And I passed a crusty house of a crumuchen on my street.
Now every town has got one, so I'm sure you'll understand,
when I tell you this ol' bastard is a mean and bitter man!
Now this day it was special, I was wearing my new hat.
The old crumuchen saw this and he disapproved of that.
He said 'I've had one just like it, for 10 years! You ripped me off!
You've got no right to wear a hat like mine, so take it off!'
Now as it happens, I'm a gentleman, so I approached his porch.
I told him great minds think alike, and you have one, ofcourse.
So how 'bout I just tilt my hat to you when I come on through?
He reached down for his gun and said 'I'll shoot you if you do!
And I said no ones gonna cry at your funeral!
No one's gonna drink at your wake!
No one's gonna sigh with a tear in their eye!
'cos no one's gonna miss you when you're dead!
Well next day I forgot this whole damn mess and went to town.
And there I saw a hundred of some posters all around.
And on them was my face, and I was wearing my new hat.
And there it read, 'This guy ripped me off!I've got one just like that!'
I took a walk down to his house to see if I could find
a way to show him that we're kichet spirits of the mind.
I said I didn't make these hats, nor did you, of course!
And hey! We both love Johnny Cash. He said 'Get off my porch!'
and I said no ones gonna cry at your funeral!
No one's gonna drink at your wake!
No one's gonna sigh with a tear in their eye!
'cos no one's gonna miss you when you're dead!
When you look back on your life, what will you see?
Did you spend your time mending fences or planting mines?
There is no shortage of potential enemies.
So don't waste so much time, pushing away your kind!
I thought I must be stupid or just crazy from the heat,
when I went down to the house of that crumuchen on my street.
Maybe it was foolish to go to his hosue again.
Just to show this crazy, drunken fool he had a friend!
When I got there, much to my surprise, he wasn't there.
He was gone, as was his shotgun and his rockin' chair.
I asked the neighbour lady who was laying on herlawn
'What happened to that mean old man?'
She shrugged and that was all!
And I said no ones gonna cry at your funeral!
No one's gonna drink at your wake!
No one's gonna sigh with a tear in their eye!
'cos no one's gonna miss you!
Hell, no one's gonna notice!
And I'll enjoy the silence!................................
When! You're! Dead!
