lyrics

was looking for identity and any kind of sign
waited till one fateful night for the planets to align
went to the fortune teller's trailer, lit by moonshine
she looked at me with fiery eyes and opened up my mind,

and she said
you're a dirty bastard, you're a dirty bastard, you're a dirty bastard
and i said i know that
i'm a dirty bastard, i'm a dirty bastard, i'm a dirty bastard
and she said, yeah you are
you're a dirty bastard, you're a dirty bastard, you're a dirty bastard
and i said i'm aware that
i'm a dirty bastard, i'm a dirty bastard, i'm a dirty bastard

unsatisfied i waited for an astrologically insignificant day
sought out someone less of a rock n roll cliché
to examine my brain with technology
i was plugged into the machine, a flock of doctors studied me

and they said
you're a dirty bastard, you're a dirty bastard, you're a dirty bastard
and i said i know that
i'm a dirty bastard, i'm a dirty bastard, i'm a dirty bastard
and they said, yeah you are
you're a dirty bastard, you're a dirty bastard, you're a dirty bastard
and i said i'm aware that
i'm a dirty bastard, i'm a dirty bastard, i'm a dirty bastard

now everytime someone asks me to lend a helping hand
i hand them this medical document and i say sorry i just won't.

because you see...

The Black Elephant Band Nuremberg, Germany

„[...] ungeschliffene, gestochen scharf auf den Punkt kommende, englischsprachige
Songminitaturen voll von schrägem Humor und bitterbösen Weltbetrachtungen, die schlecht
gestimmte Gitarre schnörkellos rudimentär, die Stimme ein wütendes Knurren, kaum ein Lied
länger als zweieinhalb Minuten. Wunderbar!“ (NN)

"Schräger Antifolk mit Bart, Klampfe und Mundharmonika. Zum Verlieben!" (A&F) ... more
