Trampolina Songtext
von Stoat

I met her on a stag weekend in Cork
She was with a headbanger from Dundalk
She was after 14 Moscow Mules
"Do you wanna dance?
And take me for a test drive
Don′t you wanna dance?
And make us both feel a little alive?"
The world is never finer
Waiting on the consummation

She said she was a go-go dancer by trade
But I followed her and she worked in telesales
She was employee of the month in April
Girl there ain't no shame
In being good at something shit
No there ain′t no shame
So long as you're not proud of it
Does that sound harsh?
I don't mean it to be harsh


Trampolina
Trampolina
Trampolina
You could do so much worse than me

She was troubled by the spectre of her own demise
She would wake at 4am and lie there thinking about death until dawn
She wished she had the comfort of a simple faith like her mother′s
Darling haven′t you heard?
The universe don't know you′re here
Baby haven't you heard?
In cosmic terms you′re small beer
And this is a wonderful freedom
This is a beautiful thing

Trampolina
Trampolina
Trampolina
You could do so much worse than me

And oh when the cross is hard to bear
And the world is a bastard
I think of the holy things we shared
Then I go get plastered
Bounce
Bouncing on back to the girl


Trampolina
Trampolina
Trampolina
You could do so much worse than me

She left me for a better man than me
Eventually
She grew tired of the drinking, the mood swings and the poverty
She said all your words
You cannot take them with you
Baby all your words
Won't sing or warm or love you
And that may be true
But these are words I only meant for you
