The Rebel Black Dot Song o' Yesterday: SKAugust!

Dienstag, 7. August
The Hippos, "When Will I Learn?" from Forget the World (The Last Angry Rude Boy)

Skammentary: Perchance, have I mentioned that romance rarely works out in ska-punk?
"I bought you everything that you asked for,
everything but you wanted more,
I guess it wasn't quite enough.

"I did everything that you asked me to,
everything that I could do,
I guess it wasn't quite enough.

"I should have acted like a hopeless pessimist,
'Cause I know that you're a sucker for that type,
And if I told you I was gonna kill myself,
Maybe then you'd comfort me and hold me tight.
When will I learn?

"I took you every place that you wanted to go,
Every single place that I know,
I guess it wasn't quite enough.

"I told you everything that you want to hear,
I said, 'I love you' in your ear,
I guess it wasn't quite enough.

"I should have acted like a hopeless pessimist,
'Cause I know that you're a sucker for that type,
And if I told you I was gonna kill myself,
Maybe then you'd comfort me and hold me tight.

"No matter what I do,
I'll never be with you,
And if it ends that way,
I guess I'll be O.K."
