Menneske berget

Loving cup-the rolling stones

I'm the man on the mountain, come on up. 

I'm the plowman in the valley with a face full of mud. 

Yes, I'm fumbling and I know my car don't start. 

Yes, I'm stumbling and I know I play a bad guitar. 

 

Give me little drink from your loving cup. 

Just one drink and I'll fall down drunk. 

 

I'm the man who walks the hillside in the sweet summer sun. 

I'm the man that brings you roses when you ain't got none. 

Well I can run and jump and fish, but I won't fight 

You if you want to push and pull with me all night. 

 

Give me little drink from you loving cup. 

Just one drink and I'll fall down drunk. 

 

I feel so humble with you tonight, 

Just sitting in front of the fire. 

See your face dancing in the flame, 

Feel your mouth kissing me again, 

What a beautiful buzz, what a beautiful buzz, 

What a beautiful buzz, what a beautiful buzz. 

Oh, what a beautiful buzz, what a beautiful buzz. 

 

Yes, I am nitty gritty and my shirt's all torn, 

But I would love to spill the beans with you till dawn. 

 

Give me little drink from your loving cup. 

Just one drink and I'll fall down drunk.

Please allow me to introduce myself

I'm a man of wealth and taste

I've been around for a long, long year

Stole many a man's soul to waste

 

And I was 'round when Jesus Christ

Had his moment of doubt and pain

Made damn sure that Pilate

Washed his hands and sealed his fate

 

Pleased to meet you

Hope you guess my name

But what's puzzling you

Is the nature of my game

 

I stuck around St. Petersburg

When I saw it was a time for a change

Killed the czar and his ministers

Anastasia screamed in vain

 

I rode a tank

Held a general's rank

When the blitzkrieg raged

And the bodies stank

 

Pleased to meet you

Hope you guess my name, oh yeah

Ah, what's puzzling you

Is the nature of my game, oh yeah

(Woo woo, woo woo)

 

I watched with glee

While your kings and queens

Fought for ten decades

For the gods they made

(Woo woo, woo woo)

 

I shouted out,

Who killed the Kennedys?

When after all

It was you and me

(Who who, who who)

 

Let me please introduce myself

I'm a man of wealth and taste

And I laid traps for troubadours

Who get killed before they reached Bombay

(Woo woo, who who)

 

Pleased to meet you

Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah

(Who who)

But what's puzzling you

Is the nature of my game, oh yeah, get down, baby

(Who who, who who)

 

Pleased to meet you

Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah

But what's confusing you

Is just the nature of my game

(Woo woo, who who)

 

Just as every cop is a criminal

And all the sinners saints

As heads is tails

Just call me Lucifer

'Cause I'm in need of some restraint

(Who who, who who)

 

So if you meet me

Have some courtesy

Have some sympathy, and some taste

(Woo woo)

Use all your well-learned politnesse

Or I'll lay your soul to waste, mm yeah

(Woo woo, woo woo)

 

Pleased to meet you

Hope you guessed my name, mm yeah

(Who who)

But what's puzzling you

Is the nature of my game, mm mean it, get down

(Woo woo, woo woo)

 

Woo, who

Oh yeah, get on down

Oh yeah

Oh yeah!

(Woo woo)

 

Tell me baby, what's my name

Tell me honey, can ya guess my name

Tell me baby, what's my name

I tell you one time, you're to blame

 

Oh, who

Woo, woo

Woo, who

Woo, woo

Woo, who, who

Woo, who, who

Oh, yeah

 

What's my name

Tell me, baby, what's my name

Tell me, sweetie, what's my name my name is rick I say

 

Woo, who, who

Woo, who, who rick 

Woo, who, who

Woo, who, who

Woo, who, who

Woo, who, who

Oh, yeah

Woo woo

Woo woo

Look here Princess

I'm not just here for you

So take off in your new Rolls Royce

I've got things to do

Look here Princess

I gave you everything

But now I want it all back

So I can start some living

Look here Princess

I want to be famous and rich

So I can be empty and bitter like you

Sitting home with nothing to do

Princess look now

I've got 15 women called Sue

20 women called Jane

And I'm sad

 

Look here Princess

Now I'm singin' this sad song

About a man in a kennel

Who cries all day long

Look here Princess

Don't shut me out for good

But keep me in mind for later

Like I always knew you would

Look here Princess

I'm in a desert now

I don't see no way out

You've got to show me how

Look here now Princess

I've got 15 women called Sue

20 women called Jane

And I'm sad

 

Look here Princess

I'm not just here for you

So take off in your new Rolls Royce

I've got things to do

Look here Princess

I gave you everything

But now I want it all back

So I can start some living

Look here Princess

I want to be famous and rich

So I can be empty and bitter like you

Sitting home with nothing to do

Princess look now

I've got 15 women called Sue

20 women called Jane

And I'm sad

 

 

In the white room with black curtains near the station

Blackroof country, no gold pavements, tired starlings

Silver horses ran down moonbeams in your dark eyes

Dawnlight smiles on you leaving, my contentment

I'll wait in this place where the sun never shines

 

Wait in this place where the shadows run from themselves

You said no strings could secure you at the station

Platform ticket, restless diesels, goodbye windows

I walked into such a sad time at the station

As I walked out, felt my own need just beginning

I'll wait in the queue when the trains come back

 

Lie with you where the shadows run from themselves

At the party she was kindness in the hard crowd

Consolation for the old wound now forgotten

Yellow tigers crouched in jungles in her dark eyes

She's just dressing, goodbye windows, tired starlings

I'll sleep in this place with the lonely crowd;

 

Lie in the dark where the shadows run from themselves

You thought the leaden winter would bring you down foever,

But you rode upon a steamer to the violence of the sun.

 

And the colors of the sea blind your eyes with trembling mermaids,

And you touch the distant beaches with tales of brave Ulysses:

How his naked ears were tortured by the sirens sweetly singing,

For the sparkling waves are calling you to kiss their white-lace lips.

 

And you see a girl's brown body dancing through the turquoise,

And her footprints make you follow where the sky loves the sea.

And when your fingers find her, she drowns you in her body,

Carving deep blue ripples in the tissues of your mind.

 

The tiny purple fishes run laughing through your fingers,

And you want to take her with you to the hard land of the winter.

 

Her name is Aphrodite and she rides a crimson shell,

And you know you cannot leave her for you touched the distant sands

With the tales of brave Ulysses: how his naked ears were tortured

By the sirens sweetly singing.

 

The tiny purple fishes run laughing through your fingers,

And you want to take her with you to the hard land of the winter.

She's a witch of trouble in electric blue,

In her own mad mind she's in love with you.

With you.

Now what you gonna do?

Strange brew, kill what's inside of you.

 

She's some kind of demon messing in the glue.

If you don't watch out it'll stick to you.

To you.

What kind of fool are you?

Strange brew, kill what's inside of you.

 

On a boat in the middle of a raging sea,

She would make a scene for it all to be

Ignored.

And wouldn't you be bored?

Strange brew, kill what's inside of you.

 

Strange brew, strange brew, strange brew, strange brew.

Strange brew, kill what's inside of you
