Oh Boy

from Night Light by Trummer

lyrics

03. oh boy
the fire’s gone out and the cold’s sneaking in
and you’re sitting in your armchair
with a book on your knees and your sweater on
and you light another cigarette
and you turn another page and the story goes on
but some things you’ll never forget

there’s a row of past lovers standing outside your window
and they’re crying at the sky
and you’re trying to avoid the stupid thought
on how you’re gonna spend the night
while they share their ideas of how you keep spoiling things
and rather say goodbye-
oh boy
you better call somebody
oh boy
and get on outta there

and your old dad’s knockin’on the door
and he wants you to open up to talk
about the past and who he was
and what an annoying kid you’ve been,
but you’ve got nothing to say but why he never was home
and anyway, he died four years ago-
oh boy…

a windy night is passing by
and the ashtray’s getting full
another record closes with the needle takin’off
and the mosquitoes will soon be gone
cuz september kills them all,
and you’re sitting on the bedside with the nightlight on-
oh boy
is your firewood ready?
oh boy
will winter be warm?

Trummer Berne, Switzerland

"Es ist nicht übertrieben zu behaupten, Trummer gehöre zu den ganz wenigen Schweizer Künstlern, die Songs auf einem derart hohen Niveau nicht bloss schreiben und komponieren, sondern auch vortragen können."
Pedro Lenz.
"Trummers Songs berühren, weil sie weder belehren noch beeindrucken wollen, sondern es bei der schlichten Frage belassen: Kennt ihr das auch?“
Laudatio SUISA Stiftungspreis 2011 ... more
