*****
And the women tug their hair
Like they're trying to prove it won't fall out
And all the men are Gargolyes
Dipped long in Irish Stout
The whole place is pickled
The people are pickles for sure
An no-one knows if they've done more here than
They ever would do in a jar
This could be
Rotterdam or anywhere, Liverpool or Rome
'Cause Rotterdam is anywhere
Anywhere alone, anywhere alone
And everyone is blonde
And everyone is beautiful
And when blond and beautiful are multiple
They become so dull and dutyfull
And when faced with dull and dutyfull
They fire red warning flares
Battle Khaki personality with red underwear
This could be
Rotterdam or anywhere, Liverpool or Rome
'Cause Rotterdam is anywhere
Anywhere alone, anywhere alone
The whole place is pickled
The people are pickles for sure
And no-one knows if they've done more here
Than they ever would do in a jar
This could be
Rotterdam or anywhere, Liverpool or Rome
'Cause Rotterdam is anywhere
Anywhere alone, this could be
Rotterdam or anywhere, Liverpool or Rome
'Cause Rotterdam is anywhere
Anywhere alone, anywhere alone
Anywhere alone, anywhere alone
Anywhere alone, alone, alone
Hmm, this could be Rotterdam
or anywhere........
