00:00:17.380 --> 00:00:22.062
Here I was born,
and walk through the streets,

00:00:22.126 --> 00:00:25.958
I know the faces, all the houses, and all the shops,

00:00:26.052 --> 00:00:29.570
I need to get awayI know every dove here by name.

00:00:29.622 --> 00:00:33.479
With my thumb out, I wait for a posh girl with a fast car.

00:00:33.600 --> 00:00:36.901
The sun is blinding - everything is flying by

00:00:37.038 --> 00:00:41.202
and the world behind me is slowly becoming small.

00:00:41.305 --> 00:00:44.806
But the world out there is made for me!

00:00:44.850 --> 00:00:48.478
I know it's waiting, and I (come to) pick it up.

00:00:48.612 --> 00:00:52.918
The day is on my side, the wind pushes me along

00:00:53.047 --> 00:00:56.891
A women's choir on the side of the road sings for me.

00:00:56.938 --> 00:01:00.282
I lean back and stare into the deep blue (sky),

00:01:00.357 --> 00:01:03.828
close my eyes and just keep going.

00:01:03.932 --> 00:01:08.132
And at the end of the street stands a house by the lake.

00:01:08.224 --> 00:01:12.271
Orange tree leaves are lying on the road.

00:01:12.352 --> 00:01:16.142
I have 20 children my wife is beautiful.

00:01:16.255 --> 00:01:23.936
Everyone comes by, and I never need to leave

00:01:35.808 --> 00:01:39.830
I am searching for new land with unknown streets,

00:01:40.029 --> 00:01:43.397
foreign faces, where no one knows my name.

00:01:43.565 --> 00:01:47.115
Everything is won playing games with marked cards

00:01:47.338 --> 00:01:51.150
until all is lost: God has a hard left hook.

00:01:51.283 --> 00:01:54.947
I grub out treasures from the snow and the sand.

00:01:55.149 --> 00:01:58.796
And women take my sanity.

00:01:58.993 --> 00:02:02.702
But at some point luck chases me

00:02:02.854 --> 00:02:06.942
and I come back with both pockets full of gold.

00:02:07.076 --> 00:02:10.901
I invite the old weirdoes, and the relatives,

00:02:10.993 --> 00:02:14.591
and everyone is weeping for joy.

00:02:14.666 --> 00:02:18.436
We grill, the mums cook, and we get pissed with schnapps.

00:02:18.460 --> 00:02:21.907
And celebrate for a week, every night.

00:02:22.047 --> 00:02:26.376
And the moon shines brightly on my house by the lake

00:02:26.505 --> 00:02:29.889
Orange tree leaves lie on the road.

00:02:30.089 --> 00:02:33.750
I have 20 children, and my wife is beautiful.

00:02:33.951 --> 00:02:40.490
Everyone comes by, and I never have to leave.

00:02:45.794 --> 00:02:49.059
And at the end of the street stands a house by the lake.

00:02:49.307 --> 00:02:52.905
Orange tree leaves lie on the road.

00:02:53.144 --> 00:02:56.974
I have 20 children my wife is beautiful.

00:02:57.241 --> 00:03:03.451
Everyone comes by, and I never need to leave.

00:03:17.067 --> 00:03:20.763
Here I was born, and here will I be buried.

00:03:21.038 --> 00:03:24.546
I am deaf, my beard is white, and I sit in the garden.

00:03:24.853 --> 00:03:28.089
My 100 grandchildren play cricket on the lawn.

00:03:28.205 --> 00:03:35.339
When I think of it, I can hardly wait!
