Hooligans
Spy vs. Spy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Woke up this morning I ve done it again
I ve been a hooligan on Hieneken
Look in the mirror better put on my shades
Don t want no one to know who I am

Slam bam wreck of a man
I try to be the best that I am
I ll drink whatever is going around
And we ll drink em all down

My sister says that it s a bad way to live
My mother nags me says I m living in sin
I m trying to drown out all of my pain
I know I m ugly, I was born that way
If you like, we ll get in a fight
Sore knuckles, another black eye
Once we down sorting em out
We ll drink them all down

Hungover
Wreak havoc

I remember I had a girlfriend
She used to love me, but never again
I m only happy when I couldn t care less
I like to lead my life in a mess
Big trouble, head is a muddle
Bartender, make it a double
Then let s go and tear up the town
And we ll drink em all down





Nostrovia
