Erasmus Songtext
von You Am I

Ten months of paint stripping
Discount power
Yeah, your mama′s gonna hate it
For ninety-eight bucks and a fresh set of strings
The bedroom blaster blazing white
Like a new cake of soap
A message of love
Now come on, Jimmy, let's go

Oh, Ma, she′s making the goo-goo eyes at me
Is it something I'm wearing?
Turn up the Christmas
Distracts from my piece of face
Yes, I'm from another time
Ain′t the kind of guy that your friends are gonna glue to
But wait ′til you hear my dog bark
Let's go


I′m closing in on your radio
Your east, west, north and behind
I'm going to be more
More than I was
Yeah, just because
You hang from your clothes line
Till the blood runs from my eyes
I′m going to be more
More than I was
Yeah, just because

I packed the three TDK D90's
Yeah, I made some tapes for you
They say it looks darling
It possibly rhymes
Gonna sit right down
Gonna write you a letter
Yeah, you got to me, lady
So keep your clothes on
The one with the nose
Here it goes

I scratch my name with a penknife
On the valley and back to my drive
′Cause I'm going to be more
More than I was
Just because


I throw a rock at your new guy
Till the blood runs from his eyes
I'm going to be more
More than he was
Yeah, just because
More than I was
Yeah, just because

Hey, got it wrong
I ain′t a simple guy
I′m forking out the darkness
Just to catch your eye
You can buckle up your sandals
And sing about the sea
But I'm in love with rock and roll
That sounds lovely

I′m closing in on your radio
Your east, west, north and behind
I'm going to be more
More than I was
Yeah, just because
You hang from your clothes line
Till the blood runs from my eyes
I′m going to be more
More than I was
Yeah, just because

More than I was

Yeah, just because
