Mexico 03:15
When I woke up this morning I had the blues I Can’t remember last night as everyday about that time Let me show you where I work in a 5 stars restaurant, owned by the king Where I have to play those songs over and over and over They say “With your Mexican songs everything tastes more spicy arriba! I was born in Luxembourg the spiciest thing I ever ate was that creamy cheese with coffee Ok let’s have a little roll and rock burger You are here to make them eat, also keine lieben sung Ok this is my band they all are Germans that’s right Together we used to play Boogie woogie, in a band called “bang bang bang” I’m sorry but we really have to play now, we really have to play now Ok folks put on your moustaches… Natürlich… Arriba… “We can cook another song for you, hope you won’t mind” They say “Why don’t you play the one we like, the one you played yesterday, the one that goes mexico, mexico” Ok it’s half past six, it’s really time to go to bed now Sorry, to interrupt you, but you don’t hear anything? It’s this song again, are you sure you don’t hear anything? You know the one that goes dadadadididoudouda Every night when I go to bed a neighbour plays this for me No I’m sure it’s real, now listen, dadadadidididoudouda I don’t know why they play that funny joke on me Arriba Listen I’m not nuts, that’s not only in my head Listen again, dadadadididoudouda

I need an uncle(a new kind of wave) I… feel a bit lost at this party But there’s only kind people here It’s such a nice reception but I miss something now I need an uncle The kind of uncle who can teach me something I do not know and you could be that uncle, Patrick, mine is dead We’ll speak hours and hours about you All you have to do is to speak, as much as you can. Wouuuuuu!!!! to teach me everything you know, and how was the life of people who made the world? What’s that new kind of wave, you made in the eighties? More more more more I want to know more. What about the Shoegaze? The little rabbit on your shoes? Those voodoo snakes on your arms? This lovely ring of fire? Patrick you’re the best! uncle uncle And Tarantella! Oh lord, oh Tarantella yes she’s the one! I’ve never met anybody as lovely as her! She is the queen and you’re the king She is the cream and you’re the pie She is a Homebody and you’re a fairy She is my Mom and you’re my Dad no no no no don’t worry I didn’t mean that You make me twist ! Hoooooooooooooo You make me twist ! Hoooooooooooooo And I’ll dream of you every night when I go to bed I’ll sleep as much as I can but won’t get a rest You’ve been a bee in head, I will never forget You wanted peace for us when you were a kid, that was so kind Uncle uncle , I drink your words, just as much as I can You’re my bard, my prince, my little butterfly Sometimes I get too enthusiastic, I know I say things when I shouldn’t speak Oh please don’t say that! I need you Patrick Why don’t you leave me your number Daddy? I won’t let an other uncle leave me all alone I said I won’t let an other uncle leave me all alone I said that I said I won’t let an other uncle leave me all alone again

you’re running sauwzé... you’re running fast! Henry who’s that man? There, dancing so wild Feels like, this already happened to me I’m attracted but blind Reflected in my eyes His two big metal teeth don’t let me see It’s Sauzé Sawzé He’s wonderful and French! He’s twisting! You’re twisting wild, Sawzé! He’s got the little smile, of the ones who know all kinds, of things we’ll never never never never know! He’s got that holy “Gourmette” The silver chain on his stump He calls it “gourmette Sacrée” King of the twist sir lord Sawzé I feel wrong but strong Everything belongs to that mechanical thing here we can see The twist is the key I’ll get on the floor to know about Sawzé just a bit more He is the father of my soul Just say a word and I’ll be forever yours your servant my Lord Henry can’t you see? He is fake like a rake! Just look how he spinning on his toes a a haaaaa a a haaaaa a a haaaaa a a haaaaa I feel wild and light anything but blind I’m not anymore in touch with rules anymore I want to shake like a jelly To shift like I’m cheeky To whistle like a little canary He wants to kill the band He shakes so fast Sawzé Shake shake shake shake it! I am open to get what you want now I feel the holy “Gourmette” Trapping my eyes in the silver chain I mean the “gourmette Sacrée” Brightening my right side as with Sawzé I feel strong and delicious Tasty as a pie Now is the time for me to be the one I’ll make you limp Sauzé I’ll shake your head Sawzé I’ll be the new Banana Jojo on the floor I want to live in your tight dark pocket Let me be a hanky for you Sawzé Henry, leave that man It wasn’t the right one And… look how I’m spinning on my toes! a a haaaaa a a haaaaa a a haaaaa a a haaaaa

les goûtes tombent lourdes et se perdent dans la brume sur le cœur sur le foie L’odeur de la poudre crépitante, mais il ne peut la sentir

I wanted to go to bedroom but went to the wrong floor I crossed a little hall and found a door It was locked so I looked through the little window and I saw him, so elegant with a smile he looked at me and then he said “why don’t you come near me? I’ll show you how things could be the door is open now come to know your future and your past” and I opened the door I was toothy, petrified He chewed a little ham with a hammer in his hand It’s a dangerous game, you could die or be born and get brighter than a firefly Are you sure you want to know? For the rest of your life He gave me a white page and said: read it maestro Words came to my mind: “Dump your ballast, sink and fly now” I’ m sinking, I’m sinking, I’m sinking down… I couldn’t believe my eyes I was sinking through the ocean Naked in the water Frozen by the sharks I was down, it was dark really cold, I was sure that I wouldn’t breath any more I chewed the little ham Taken from his sleeve I breathed anew Born on a new sign I had to reach the ultimate depths of the ocean A light still shining, on the wrong floor An old man is waiting to reverse time Playing chess with pawns that look so much like you and me and him sinking

We are all really excited today. It is my birthday We bought millions of beers We bought millions of cocolulupipipapa Didoudididoudouda I’m in a rush now, my friends will be here in a minute. I bought those wet sausages. I bought those “Belgian canapé” Did you hear? Someone is trying to tell us something A friend is ringing at the door! Sorry we’ll have to speak later. A friend is ringing at the door! It’s good to see you Mathew! A friend is ringing at the door! Paul you brought sausages too! A friend is ringing at the door! Sarah! Oh hello Suzuku! A friend is ringing at the door! Henry! I can’t believe it’s true! There could be millions here tonight! I really wouldn’t be surprised. Probably in this sort of situation, other people would say to their guests things like: “Why are you here enjoying a party?” “Who are you here for?” “What will you talk about for the next couple of weeks? But I won’t play that sort of game. Ok, let’s slow down a little bit. “The house is packed with your love” So it’s fireworks time now “Everybody bring a cocolulupipipapa cocktail and come to the garden with me!” Everybody, lift up your glass in the sky and Cheers! Look! The fireworks Oh it’s written Wallace….. Who did it? Suzuko? Henry? Wallace?? The music? where is the music? Can somebody ask those Germans to keep playing that song about Mexico I liked so much? you know the one with dadadadididoudouda Oh thanks so much Goran, for those wonderful… How do they call that in your country? No no no, it’s everybody’s house tonight….

As the day is going out and the moon is watching the sky Alone in the square is walking a man He sits down near the river looks at the castle and cries I don’t feel at my best watching this man Poor Little Wallace lonesome cowboy, with a frozen soul Oh Poor Little Wallace lying on the cold wet and silent grass You don’t have any heart? Hey! you don’t have any heart or what? You pretend to be the ones who know But you don’t know anything at all Sure, he is different! A bit strange, that’s right but he isn’t as crazy as you say And tell me, what gives you the right? It is true I agreed to give him a lesson I thought he could learn something but that’s enough now we’ve gone too fare oh lord what have we done! Poor Little Wallace fishes cry, for you Oh Poor Little Wallace the ground is red near the piece of glass You don’t have any heart! Hey! you don’t have any heart or what? You pretend to be the ones who know But you don’t know anything at all and I look at the window trying to think about rain I’m not one of them you know, and don’t have to be blamed Why you and not me? Wrong place wrong time my friend No one wants to hurt you anymore you could join us again but you’re in a better place now , far from our violence Poor little Wallace I’ll write hero on the grass Ho Poor little Wallace we chose the wrong one you chose the wrong one You don’t have any heart? at all
