AK-69 a.k.a Kalassy Nikoff Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's nothin' so unique
There's probably hundreds of wonderful love affairs
That go bad in this town every week
(It's a big town)
But all of them others
Them sad-hearted lovers
Could cry in their beer what the hey
Was none of my business
I never had nothin' to say
But suddenly darlin'
The table has turned
You have left me for somebody new
And now it's hard
To express the resentment I feel
For the years that I wasted on you
But let me kinda put this another way
Okay?
Eins, Zwei, Drei, Vier!
Now I know it's not unusual
There's nothin' so unique
There's probably hundreds of wonderful love affairs
That go bad in this town every week
(It's a big town)
But all of them others
Them sad-hearted lovers
Could cry in their beer what the hey
It didn't concern me
Was none of my business
I never had nothin' to say
But suddenly darlin'
The table has turned
You have left me for somebody new
And now it's hard
To express the resentment I feel
For the years that I pissed away on you
I'm so full of
H-a-t-are-e-d
I'm bitter I'm malign
You got me
P-i-s-s-e-d Off
I'm angry most of the time
Why don't you
G-o-t-o-h-e-double â??lâ??
You tramp, you philandering bitch
I'm going to
K-i-l-l
One of us baby give me time and I'll decide on which
Now wait a minute
I know I'm acting immature
I'm acting like a child
I should display some self-control
Instead of going wild like this
And I wish I could accept all this
And simply life
Which includes pain
And act upon the actual fact
That nobody's to blame
Yes I wish I was as mellow
As for instance Jackson Browne
But "fountains of sorrow" my ass mother fucker
I hope you wind up in the ground
I'm so full of
H-A-T-R-E-D
I'm bitter I'm malign
You got me
P-I-S-S-E-D Off
I'm angry most of the time
Why don't you
G-O-T-O double L
You tramp, you philandering bitch
I'm going to
K-I-L-L one of us baby
When I'm sober I'll decide on which
H-A-T-R-E-D
What's that spell?
What's that spell?
What's that spell?
(But then again maybe with the proper counseling
We can work this out)

I didn't care about their problems, it was none of my business
Was none of my business
I had no reason to get involved

Wait a moment

I am aware that my behaviour is childish
I'm acting like a child
I am behaving immaturely
I should display some self-control
I need to show some restraint and discipline
Instead of going wild like this
Instead of acting recklessly
And I wish I could accept all this
I wish I could come to terms with this
And simply life
And just live my life
Which includes pain
Even though pain is a part of life
And act upon the actual fact
And deal with the reality
That nobody's to blame
There is no one to blame for our breakup
Yes I wish I was as mellow
I wish I was as relaxed and easy-going
As for instance Jackson Browne
Like musician Jackson Browne, who sang "Fountain of Sorrow"
But "fountains of sorrow" my ass mother fucker
He does not subscribe to the peaceful messages in Jackson Browne's songs, expressing his anger and curse words to show his frustration
I hope you wind up in the ground
He wishes her dead and rotting in the ground
What's that spell?
Asking repeatedly and sarcastically "What does that spell?"
H-A-T-R-E-D
The word HATRED spelled out
(But then again maybe with the proper counseling
Despite all that, there is still a possibility of working things out with the help of an expert)
We can work this out)
There is still hope for them
