LYRICS

when that dead whale washed ashore down in oregon
they decided to bring dynamite, and brought half a ton
man, i can tell you the conclusion was foregone
when that dead whale washed ashore down in oregon

they thought, hey if we just use enough dynamite
it will blow that big animal out of our sight
and that particular strategic move on that beach
is now on youtube, to learn from and teach

that it's not a good idea to blow up a whale
man, that train of thought is pretty much derailed
there are always ways to handle things but if you don't know'em
the worst thing you can do is trigger an explosion

and it rained dead whale, blubber and organs
when they blew up that whale at the beach down in oregon
literal rain of blood, man, it was bizarre
one big chunk of mammal smashed into a parked car

because it's not a good idea to blow up a whale
man, that train of thought is pretty much derailed
there are always ways to handle things but if you don't know'em
the worst thing you can do is trigger an explosion
and that's a fucking rule of life

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
