cançãozinha do dia

and the women tug their hair like they're trying to prove it wont fall out
and all the men are gargoyles dipped long in irish stout
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
anywhere alone...

and everyone is blonde and everyone is beautiful
and when blondes and beautiful are multiple
they become so dull and dutiful
and when faced with dull and dutiful
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...


-- rotterdam, the beautiful south
