The rain, it raineth every day
For transfer deadline day, a song from Weimar Germany : Wir Schnupfen und Wir Spritzen (We take drugs and we inject.) By Fritz von Istini.
Once not so very long ago
Sweet alcohol, that beast,
Brought warmth and sweetness to our lives,
But then the price increased.
And so cocaine and morphine
Berliners now accept.
Let lightening flashes rage outside
We snort and we inject.
At dinner in the restaurant
The waiter brings the tin
Of coke for us to feast on -
Forget whiskey and gin !
Let drowsy morphine takes it
Subcutaneous effect
Upon our nervous system -
We snort and we inject !
These medications are not allowed,
Of course, they're quite forbidden.
But even such illicit treats
Are very seldom hidden.
Euphoria awaits us
And though, we suspect,
Our foes can't wait to shoot us down,
We snort and we inject !
And if we snort ourselves to death
Or into the asylum,
Our days are going downhill fast -
How better to beguile 'em ?
Europe's a madhouse anyway,
No need for genuflecting ;
The only way to Paradise
Is snorting and injecting.
Happy transfer day.
