Thir-ir-teen Eurogoths

Look, we’ve got to do them all sometime, and this is the one which came up next on the random track selector. Knowing you lot, you’ll probably still find something wrong with my lyrics.

    I hate to say this but there’s one set of 13 Eurogoths too many in each verse. Was that a deliberate mistake designed to catch us all out?
    Any idea what, if anything, is being said at the end? I think it’s just mumbo jumbo.

  2. Ha ha, yes of course I was, er, just testing you. Mind you, can you ever have too many dead Eurogoths? I agree that it’s just nonsense at the end, off the radio perhaps?

    Mind you, on the HMHB Home Page site there are some alternative lyrics attributed to the same titled song although I don’t know the story behind that.

    Er, does the word “dead” actually appear at all?

    Note to self: get ears syringed.

  4. Does it appear in the song? Sure it does. Although now you mention it, when it comes to my comment “can you ever have too many dead Eurogoths?” above, I’ve just realised there’s no justification for assuming they’re floating around dead. I’d just always visualised them that way. Note to self: try to erase that mental image.

    They may not be dead, but I dare say there’s a very real chance that they wish they were (un)dead.
