Accordion Night There’s this girl who lives in Hamburg / She’s a lover of drunken dreams There she lives and laughs and breaths for all the other sailors Life is easy, but not how it seems ‘Cause when she sings, she talks of an angel A storm to be told of our lives / Then she whispers to me in the morning I’m your lover, your friend and your wife There’s this girl who lives in Amsterdam / She’s a tailor of tracks, yet undone There she lives and laughs and breaths for all the other sailors Life is easy, she’s mine to be won ‘Cause when she sings, she talks of an angel A storm to be told of our lives / Then she whispers to me in the morning I’m your lover, your friend and your wife Will there be an accordion night / Will there be an accordion night Will there be, will this be / Will this be an accordion night And there’s this girl who lives in Canada / She’s a redheaded woman of mine There she lives and laughs and breathes for all the other sailors But she is not common, she’s tough to decline ‘Cause when she sings, she talks of an angel A storm to be told of our lives / Then she whispers to me in the morning I’m your lover, your friend and your wife Will there be an accordion night/ Will there be an accordion night Will there be, will this be / Will this be an accordion night

Spiderman I wake up closing on midnight / A reptile has casted his spell A spiderman sleeps on my pillo w / I am naked, and going to hell A spiderman feels like a drago n / And burns to your skin like a snake Searching for shoulders to cry on / And cheek bones and jawlines to break My spiderman looks like the devil / He is born and conce ived in a cage My spiderman crawls out to rebel / My body and soul is his stage A spiderman leaves you with nothing / But blisters from being attacked I wake up closing on midnight / He kisses his way up my back My spiderman looks like a devil / He is born and conceived in a cage My spiderman crawls out to rebel / My body and soul is his stage
