lyrics

In that bar on this square
I would often sit in the morning
At ten, sipping coffee
Waiting for the time of the strange puppet
And he would always come
At the same hour
With the same iron will
Staggering to the same table

The first cold pint, hard to swallow
The second, tepid, quickly down
Next ones bottoms up.

At noon, I would sit again
With my cheerful comrades
At the bar where we were learning
How to drink more and faster
And he would still sit there
At the same table
With his lifeless sunken eyes
Ordering beers two by two.

Kermess a sévi de 1994 à 2000 un peu partout en Belgique mais aussi en France et en Suisse...

Près de 200 concerts boostés à l'adrénaline punk-folk multilingue du groupe où la bonne humeur générale était au rendez-vous. Des ballons et des rouleaux de PQ en guise de guirlandes... Ils ont paratgé la scène de groupes tels que UK Subs, Pigalle, PPz 30, Marcel et son Orchestre, Barking Dogs, etc ... more
