lyrics

Unfriendly People
they break my heart
to be a sensitive artist
alas! What a curse!

I went to church
to ask God for some money
I climbed the roof
and you chased me down
this isn’t the place
for unchristian behaviour
there’s really no need
to lose all your manners, lady!

Unfriendly people
what’s wrong with you
Man, what’s wrong with you?
Do I look like
I’d do something nasty to you?

Dirty old hobo
did that have to be? (Did that have to be!)
You threw that dirty handkerchief
quite obviously at me (Did that have to be!)
Innocently, like a silent lamb
you crept towards my park bench area
an old used tissue
right in my back
a real nasty attack!
No. an abused old man
who gets molested by cats
and other unfriendly people

Dirty old hobo!
With your 5 plastic bags that you carry all day
please believe me
when I smiled at you
I didn’t mean to offend you
in any way
oh, dirty old hobo!
I guess you mistook me for some
rich little brat
but just cause I don’t look like a homeless bum anymore
it doesn’t give you the right
to treat me like scum! Oh God…
oh dirty old hobo!
I wanna give you all my love, oh yeah
Mmmm… everything’s gonna be alright now, ok
Okay…

Unhappy church-lady
with your worried, mashed up face
you’re guarding the gold
of somebody else
unhappy bitch
you’re such a hypocrite
do you wanna be my lover
bitch

Alicia Edelweiss image

Alicia Edelweiss

Austro-British singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, artist and yarn-spinner, whose imaginative forays into dark folk tales, humour-laden
autobiographical sketches and sideways observations on life are suffused with both a sense of child-like wonder and an arch contemporary savvy, couched in subtly insistent melodic ear-worms. She began her musical career as a teenage street musician. ... more
