lyrics

Outside the discoteque,
it´s early morning,
people all around us seem
as if they´d stepped out of a time warp.
Look at the beach, the tide is low,
the first brave swimmers have arrived,
the water is cold here in the north
but they don´t seem to be afraid.
It´s the time all lovers should go home
to do some spooning and kissing and hugging,
it´s the time I thought I´d spend with you
but you said no, no, no, no.

I said I can´t give it to just anybody
you said you can´t do a thing about it.

Walking me towards the taxi,
as we´re fighting endlessly,
both of us with an exploding head,
your cruel words crash the morning silence.
You said I made the movie myself.
I´ll have to pay the consequences,
under a cloudy sky and with a yé yé soundtrack
finals curtains falling.

I said I can´t give it to just anybody
you said you can´t do a thing about it,
no, no, no...

Back at the beach
the tide is low
some more swimmers have arrived,
some alone, some with their dogs,
they´re not afraid of the cold water.
And like a dog myself,
all wet and cold and shivering,
mumbling some "what a pity"
before taking the cab back home alone.

I said I can´t give it to just anybody
you said you couldn´t do a damn thing about it.
So I guess I should thank you for opening my eyes
for not letting me long for something you´ll never give me, is it a goodbye?
I´d say yeah yeah!
Yeah yeah yeah!
I´d say yeah yeah!
Yeah yeah yeah!
I´d say yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah!
me, is it a goodbye?
I´d say yeah yeah!
goodbye yeah yeah!
Bloody euroyeyé.

about

Evripidis and his Tragedies Barcelona, Spain

Evripidis and His Tragedies is Evripidis Sabatis. The "Tragedies" are the devastating, confessional, self-sarcastic, darkly humorous songs that draw on his classical piano training, queer sensibility and storytelling skills to examine and own up to the vicissitudes of life. Evripidis' pop inclinations take us for a bumpy, dancey ride across the fine line between tragedy and joie de vivre. ... more
