lyrics

Stage Bar

- „Do you like the concert?“
- „Me? oh no no no no I don‘t like the show,
I don‘t like life either“
- „Oh, me neither“
- „Oh well what do you know“
so I spoke to J.R. in the stage bar
down by the pinball machine
with my face to his cause he lives in a squat
and I wanna move in
from the corner comes Annette
with a peach dress and her curls all a mess
me, I‘ve never seen her in my life before
„can you give me your push-up bra please?“ She says
„cause I wanna striptease
just to pass the time, the gig is such a bore“

It‘s my girlfriend, don‘t listen to her, he says
it‘s my girlfriend, don‘t listen to her.

- „Do you like the concert?“
- „Me? oh no no no no I don‘t like the show
I don‘t like life either“
- „Oh, me neither“
- „Oh well what do you know“
So I stood with what‘s her name and played my game
On the pinball machine
Sold another sticky Sunday evening out
when I should have stayed in.
From the corner comes Annette
She‘s all a mess, in a trashy pink dress
Told her many times, don‘t dress up like a whore.
Here we go, I know she‘ll make a scene
She‘ll start to say something obscene
And we‘ve been through this so many times before

It‘s my girlfriend, don‘t listen to her, I say,
It‘s my girlfriend, don‘t listen to her.

I don‘t like this concert
Oh, no no no no no I don‘t like this show
And I don‘t like to be myself tonight and watch
How far he‘s gonna go.
I see her working at it, give her credit,
down by the pinball machine
With her face to his, well, I‘m not made of air
And not playing it clean.
From the corner here I come
Glass, bottles, cries, in my ears and my eyes
Stumbling through the chairs
I see the flashing score.
„Can you give me your push-up bra please?“ I say
„Cause I wanna striptease“
look at me! look at me! look at me some more!

It‘s my girlfriend, don‘t listen to her, he says
it‘s my girlfriend, don‘t listen to her.
