    MTV's "Alternative nation" introduced me to a lot of cool bands, SFA being one of them.
    1997 what a cool year.

    Hermann Loves Pauline, and Pauline loves Hermann
    They made love and gave birth, to a little German
    They called him MC squared, cos he raps like no other
    An asthma sufferer, like Ernesto Guevara
    Too much Monte Kristo number four
    (Her and I believe)
    Pass the ventolin I need some more
    (They had more)
    We have ways of making you think
    (To do)
    We have ways of making you think
    (Than simple balancing)
    We have ways of making you think
    (Two point four family)
    We have ways of making you think
    (Sanity)
    We have ways of making you think
    (Personality, a ha ha)
    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 twenty- four 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 ah ah a
    They never noticed her at school
    They tell me she kept to herself
