Schuhe English translation
von Ina Müller

Zap — he’s gone, after all these years
He gets the house and the eight cylinders
You get the dog and the children
He wanted someone younger, now he’s gone and done it
It’s always been this way before
That’s just how life goes

Just blow that man to the wind
Some things are simply meant to be

Men are unfaithful, women are snakes
Cars have always been prone to break
Children are thankless, dogs corrupt
Friends often turn out to be foes in the end
Stocks often take a dive
Only shoes will never let you down in life


Look in the closet — they’re there for you
And can quickly bring happiness back
On very quiet soles

They never fight, they stay a pair
They’d never go out alone
Never get in each other’s way

When I’m sad and all alone
I’m drawn to shoe salesmen’s zones

Men are unfaithful, women are snakes
Cars have always been prone to break
Children are thankless, dogs corrupt
Friends often turn out to be foes in the end
Stocks often take a dive
Only shoes will never let you down in life

Only shoes will never let you down in life
