Hermann Loves Pauline

(album: Radiator - 1997)

Hermann loves Pauline, and Pauline loves Hermann
They made love and gave birth to a little German
They called him MC squared, 'cause he raps like no other
An asthma sufferer, like Ernesto Guevara
Too much Monte Cristo No. 4
Pass the ventolin, I need some more
We have ways of making you think
We have ways of making you think
We have ways of making you think
We have ways of making you think
We have ways of making you think
They told me over a drink

They never noticed him at school, they tell me
He kept himself to himself
He used to sit and stare up at the ceiling
Hermann loves Pauline
They never noticed him at school, they tell me
He suffered poor health
He used to vacantly stare out the window, feeling under
Why do you do what they tell you?

Marie Curie was Polish born but French bred
Ha, French bread!
Of course she ended up dead, from radiation
Slow, invisible suffocation
Down the 24 hour garage or any service station
I lead my life in a quest for information
Since surrounded by pies and books
Middle-aged drivers and deranged cooks

They never noticed her at school, they tell me
She kept herself to herself
She used to sit and stare up at the ceiling
Hermann loves Pauline
They never noticed her at school, they tell me
She suffered poor health
She used to vacantly stare out the window, feeling under
Why do you do what they tell you?

They never noticed her at school, they tell me
She kept herself to herself
She used to sit and stare up at the ceiling
Hermann loves Pauline
They never noticed him at school, they tell me
He suffered poor health
He used to vacantly stare out the window, feeling under
