LYRICS

i was standing in the shower
filled with maddening frustration
because for about half an hour
i was busy with operation
'squeezing the bottle of shampoo'
shakin it and all the things you do
when it's reluctant to leave its home
and turn into a cleansing foam

that morning gravity was my enemy
i couldn't understand
until the shampoo missed my hand
for the first time
i whispered 'fuck!'
but thought 'alright, fine
just try again'

i was standing in the shower
filled with maddening frustration
because for about half an hour
i was busy with operation
'squeezing the bottle of shampoo'
shakin it and all the things you do
when it's reluctant to leave its home
and turn into a cleansing foam

that morning gravity was my enemy
started to understand
when the shampoo missed my hand
for the second time
i muttered 'fuck!'
started to moan and whine
just try again'

i was standing in the shower
filled with maddening frustration
because for about half an hour
i was busy with operation
'squeezing the bottle of shampoo'
shakin it and all the things you do
when it's reluctant to leave its home
and turn into a cleansing foam

that morning gravity was my enemy
finally could understand
when the shampoo missed my hand
for the third time
i cried out 'fuck!'
started to lose my mind
just try again'

that morning gravity was my friend
when the shampoo found my hand
that morning gravity was my friend
when the shampoo found my hand
that morning gravity was my friend
when the shampoo found my hand
that morning gravity was my friend
when the shampoo found my hand

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
