Yesterday - where was I? I am not able to say.
Just remember those walls with wallpaper
Claudia was there though, and her other chick came
I was kissing them both, “salt and pepper”
As I woke up today
They all started to tell
That I scolded the hostess,
scared all guests away
As if I ran around naked
And yelled songs after all
A my father - I said
was a true general.
Then I ripped up my shirt, banged my fist at the chest,
I accused all: they sold me, imposters!
Did not give any guest a sole moment to rest -
Still kept pestering them with my boring chords.
Then I stopped drinking more
Because I got too tired,
Whacked and smashed on the floor
Noble crystal and china
Poured wine on the walls
And their new coffee set
Having opened the window
Pushed it out at the end
And no one would even dare to say a word against
But then slowly recovered, them bastards!
Piled up all over me, started twisting my hands
And then finally they all could have some fun
Who would spit in my face,
poured vodka inside,
And some dancer kicked me
with his feet in the guts,
But young widow, as she
kept all true to her spouse,
(It’s just once that we live)
She was pitying me. Lots!
I turned pale in the kitchen with my bruised face,
Tried to show them, I am backing off, in fact
“Set me loose” - so I shouted - “And that’s the end!” -
They untied me, but hid all forks away
What would start after that
Is hard to even describe
wonder where did I get
In my hands so much might
Like a wild wounded beast
I smashed all I could see
Knocked out all doors and windows
And dropped down the balcony
I won’t find in broad daylight where I was yesterday
But remember those walls with wallpaper
I was left with my face all in bruises again
It s a shame for me now to go out anywhere
If it’s all true,
Well, at least a third of what they all lie
One thing is left for sure:
Just to lie down and die,
It is so good that the widow
could get over all this
Felt a pity for me
And took me in to live with.
