Lyrics

Seat 2C, Oslo to Warsaw, Norwegian Air It's 9am and I'm yawning Next to a perky young girl with beautiful long blonde hair She's playing a game on her phone and chewing on her Danish The little girl behind me has a demonic cough And she sounds like Linda Blair in The Exorcist "Blaaaaagh! Blaaaaagh! Blaaaaagh! Blaaaaagh! Blaaaaagh! Blaaaaagh! Blaaaaaaaaaagh!" I hope it's just a common cold and nothing too serious If it's a serious medical condition, I hope the Lord blesses her Last time I played Poland was with Justin from Godflesh I couldn't pronounce the name of the town to save my life or the venue But we headlined a metal fest The names of the other bands I don't know But I do remember the aggressive sound of their names Cryptdeath Motheroffuck Lord fuck Lord fuck Lord Blaaaaagh! I don't know much about Poland, other than Andrew Golota's boxing style He put his left jab out like a kitten trying to paw a bed sheet hanging out to dry And his glass chin a very easy target to find He quit after round two with Mike Tyson He was on his ass, his eyes bulging with fright And Lennox Lewis dropped him in round one He looked like a kid getting knocked on his ass by his daddy When his daddy came home drunk But I have a soft spot for Andrew because the great fighters, he never dodged And I thought it was mean how his fans pelted him with garbage During his walkout after he lost to Mike Tyson Facing Tyson was a very brave thing to do Yea, he was overmatched But I found the audience's behavior after the fight disgraceful and rude Though our local sports heroes are often times flawed, show them love and support Be kind, take the high road, be a good sport I think in that Tyson fight, Golota's brains might have become unglued He wasn't quite the same after that It could have been that beating he took, I have no clue But those people throwing things at him Was despicable and bullying at its worst He was fighting Mike Tyson and representing your country And his fans humiliated him by adding hurt to his already hurt And yeah, when Lennox dropped him in round one I felt an even stronger connection with Golota 'Cause he went out there determined as Raging Bull, but like a lamb he got slaughtered His weakness was that chin and that clumsy left And those low blows to Riddick Bowe were his only weapon His only defense, he was clearly overmatched He is imperfect, as we all are Let's face it, we're all scared little girls and boys So everybody right now, for Andrew Golota, make some fucking noise So right now, for Andrew Golota, make some fucking noise Other than Andrew Golota, I don't know much about Poland I'm told my ancestors were from there, and I guess that's saying something, I know I gotta admit, I never looked too deeply into it Though I'm told, before my name became Kozelek apparently it was actually Koziołek And there was a time that I played the OFF Festival in the summer in Katowice I played a seated venue And a Polish woman cooked Italian food for me And I've been to Italy more times than I could ever count And that Polish woman cooked the best lasagna I ever had And that's no fucking joke But I shared a taxi to the airport with Owen Ashworth and Ben Gibbard I said, "Owen, did you ever notice how much Poland looks like Ohio?" He said, "Yeah, it does" and that's all he said Owen Ashworth is a great songwriter from Chicago, Illinois if you never heard of him Now everybody that shows some gratitude for the beautiful things in the world The lovely cornfields along the highways and the meals that the kind people prepare for us And the audience who come to our countries who play beautiful music for us And the fans who come out to our shows and pay the ticket and pay attention and listen to us We're in this life once, so let's absorb what's around us And not make a fuss over the little things We may live to be old or tomorrow we might get hit by a bus I got a lot of love for all people Yeah, I got a lot of love, I got a lot of love, even for the imperfect low-blowing Andrew Golota I got a lot of love for you, all you people here in Warsaw, Poland If I gotta be honest, there's only one thing I'll tell you that I don't love at all It's the music of Steely Dan, it makes my skin crawl Well I gotta be honest, there's another thing that I don't love at all It's the music of the Eagles It makes me wanna put my fist through a wall Now I'm gonna mention a song that I love very much AC/DC's "A Touch Too Much" Now I'm gonna mention a couple of songs that I love very much Neil Young's "Harvest Moon" and also "After the Gold Rush" Now I'm gonna mention a song that I know we all love very very much How can we not? ZZ Top, "I Ain't Asking For Much" Now I'm gonna mention a song by Queen, that I love very much "Find me somebody to love Find me somebody to love Find me somebody to love Find me somebody to love Find me somebody to love Find me somebody to love Find me somebody to love Find me somebody to love Find me somebody to love" Now I'm gonna mention another song by Led Zeppelin that we all love very much "A whole lotta love, baby baby baby babe, I got a whole lotta love, got a whole lotta love" Now I'm gonna mention a song from an album of mine that I know you all love very much "I love you baby forever and beyond eternity I love you baby forever and beyond eternity I love you baby forever and beyond eternity I love you baby forever and beyond eternity I love you baby forever and beyond eternity I love you baby forever and beyond eternity I love you baby forever and beyond eternity I love you baby forever and beyond eternity I love you baby forever and beyond eternity I love you baby forever and beyond eternity I love you baby forever and beyond eternity I love you baby forever and beyond eternity I love you baby forever and beyond eternity I love you baby forever and beyond eternity I love you baby forever and beyond eternity I love you baby forever and beyond eternity I love you baby forever and beyond eternity"
