When the off-licence asks, I've been two months Checks the crack on their forehead Should comb a hair over that And these Czech shoes are a bloody reminder And this town is not much different The clothes, the stooped appearance (Over the hill) Over the hill goes killer civil servant (Over the hill) Over the hill goes killer civil servant (Over the hill) (Over the hill) (Over the hill goes killer civil servant) (Over the hill) (Over the hill)
I still remember the white leafy border The scheiss in winter (Over the hill) Over the hill goes killer civil servant (Comes over the hill) Comes over the hill, goes killer civil servant (Over the hill) (Over the hill goes killer civil servant (Comes over the hill, goes killer civil servant) (Over the hill) (Over the hill) (Over the hill)
(There's a song she had before) There's a song she had before borough town (Bagatelle) That had the snappy rejoinder (The snappy rejoinder) (Who's there? What's Wrong? Clear off!) Who's there? What's Wrong? Clear off! Who's there? What's Wrong? Clear off! Who's there? What's Wrong? Clear off! Who's there? What's Wrong? Clear off!
