ANGIE


ANGIE



Angela Merkel

Rolling Stones’ “Angie” is a beautiful, superb song written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. It was not dedicated to Angie Merkel, but I decided to adapt the lyrics to make them fit Angie Merkel, who’s been ruling Europe’s suicidal austerity with a tight fist.

At the end of the lyrics you can listen to the real thing. It’s worth it!

Mick Jagger – Keith Richards, 1973   My Version, 2012
Angie, Angie                                         Angie, Angie
When will those clouds all disappear?
  When YOU and your lackeys disappear
                                       
Angie, Angie
Where will it lead us from here?
           To the abyss
With no loving in our souls
And no money in our coats
           Oh, so very true!!!
You can't say we're satisfied         We’re definitely not!
But Angie, Angie
You can't say we never tried
 YOU demanded, WE tried!
Angie, You're beautiful         (Joking!)
But ain't it time we said goodbye           YES IT IS!!!
Angie, I still love you                  NOOOO. I never did!
Remember all those nights we cried?You don’t cry, do you?
All the dreams we held so close 
YOUR dreams, OUR nightmares.

Seemed to all go up in smoke   Like our salaries…
Let me whisper in your ear      More like banging in your ear.
Angie, Angie
Where will it lead us from here?
   To total destitution
Angie, don't you weep         You don’t have to. We do!
All your kisses still taste sweet   AAARGH!
I hate that sadness in your eyes Lying. I would love to see that!
But Angie, Angie
Ain't it time we said goodbye?
                   YEEES!
With no loving in our souls
And no money in our coats     Nor in the wallet, nor in the bank....money nowhere.
You can't say we're satisfied              As if you cared…
But Angie, I still love you, baby      
No, no, no! I never did and never will!!!
Everywhere I look I see your eyes  What a nightmare!
There ain't a woman that                  
comes close to you               You just set a new (negative) standard!              

Come on baby dry your eyes        They were never wet.
But Angie, Ain't it...
Ain't it good to be alive?          
     Not with you around
Angie, Angie
You can't say we never tried
        Just buzz off! Get lost!
