Weekend In The City - Paco del Stinko

It was December of 1985
We headed to the Bahnhof by the River Main
First stop was Kaiser Strasse near the crimson glow
Garter belts and voodoo spells and smiles from head to toe

A weekend in the city, living decadent
I only got one picture I use as evidence
Nemo, Al, and Smitty, gone full speed ahead
We were all so living and lucky we ain't dead

We walked past the opera house and under crooked trees
Fire in our bellys and cold wind on our cheeks
Across the bridge and then a right to the spitting boy
Jazz or rock or African it was time to make some noise

Throwing kegs into the water from the boat's top deck
Fireworks and Champagne corks blowing past our heads
Off the boat and on the road, yo bitch hail a cab
A bloddy mouth but leave no doubt she asked for it real bad

A weekend in the city, living decadent
I only got one picture I use as evidence
Nemo, Al, and Smitty, gone full speed ahead
We were all so living and lucky we ain't dead

Only in your mind - Can you go back in time
But even if you could return - Would it be worth a try

Taxis and trolley cars and the U-Bahn
Bugging eyes on the kid from down on the farm
Faces, lights, and food, trash, and sex, and car fumes
So much life to live so far away from the tombs

On the phone but all alone no one gave a call
Dirty long-john answer in the bathroom stall
Breakfast time on Sunday's chimes with sausages and Fanta
Moving like a two-toed sloth but thinking you're a panther

A weekend in the city, living decadent
I only got one picture I use as evidence
Nemo, Al, and Smitty, gone full speed ahead
We were all so living and lucky we ain't dead

Only in your mind - Can you go back in time
But even if you could return - Would it be worth a try
Would it be worth a try - Would it be worth a try

It was time to go home
It was so long ago

This is a great song! Why is this epic? Might be another case where many of your songs are epic. I mean isn’t the OV songs Last Few Days and Who Needs Sleep as epic if not more than this? Certainly epic enough to check the box. I love the dynamics in the music and vocals. Sweet lead guitar! Thanks for not disappointing. The fretless bass is really tasty throughout. The “Fanta” and “Panther “ rhyme is among my favorites. Always a delightful listen!
