Golden Earring – Violins lyrics

From the Album:
* To the hilt

And the classic ways still on play
Violins bitter sweet
String quartet pass around the hat
You broke my heart don't you hurt my head...
After Violet and me saw the Paganini movie
We took a walk around the block to digest
The grand finale
A street-music man with shades and cane
Played the fiddler insane for a case load of
Spare change and the smiles of people passing
Between morning paper sins and waves of violins
It said they found him dead his bow had
Made him bad friends
Cold blooded, warm hearted violin
Hooked on high speed energy
Cold blooded, warm hearted violin
Cats gut pumpin' adrenalin
Warm blooded cold hearted violins
See em live tonight in the city...
And the classic way still on play
Violins better sweet
String quartet pass around the hat
You broke my heart don't you hurt my head
I've gotta find a little peace of mind
Cause the real thing is a mean thing
I guess nobody knew the Barcelona Zoo
Has an albino monkey that can trigger the mood
And provoke monkey motions
So when the shit flies high
Through the Barcelona sky the crowd stands by
A cheering!
I can hear em playin'
Kinda light n neat
All the gals re swayin'
The guys are in for meat
It's all cute n rosy
Till the needle hits a crack
Listen to that screech repeatin'
Watch the flags go slack
Forever
