lyrics

I walked your city head in hands, don’t tell me that you understand.
Here under this lamppost I’ll say goodbye and I’ll make my final stand.
I’m seeing double, but I’m still not seeing a way to be a better man.
Why do I feel so small, when I still don’t know where the fuck I stand?

I raced through Berlin to see your face again.
How this is going I can never tell.
I raced through Berlin to see your face again.
And in that moment I had tripped and fell.

I’m back at our bar, with my head in my hands and my whisky on my lap.
Not sure how I feel, but I’m pretty sure there’s no going back.
So I walked real slow, hoping you might chase me down the road.
Quick look over my shoulder had confirmed you’d disappeared back home.

I took a Polaroid picture, but I left the fucking cap on.
Wanted to remember you to try and make something happen.
Now there’s a small black square I keep in my pocket.
And I still see your smile whenever I, whenever I, take it out.

I clung to you like a plastic bag, on a fence, in the wind.
Like it could ever change a goddamn thing.
I wrote you 15 love songs, baby, they’re songs that I can’t sing.
Sat staring at my phone, willing it to ring.

I raced through Berlin to see your face again.
How this is going I can never tell.
I raced through Berlin to see your face again.
And in that moment I had tripped and fell.

The Bar Stool Preachers' experiences have allowed them to create an album that is the perfect blend of intelligent punk anthems and poignant, unsentimental love songs, both combined with the most infectious music you’ll hear this decade. “Grazie Governo” (Italian for “Thank You Government”) exemplifies this, as the tongue-in-cheek title is the first indication that they're wise beyond their years. ... more
