Estragon Song (M.Brooks)
Estragon is a club in Bologna. I loved playing there over the years. They are now in a third incarnation of the club, Estragon one was small and crowded in central Bologna. Estragon 2 was on via Calazone further out and held about 900 people. That was the version we knew best. Now they are further out and larger.
When first you and I had the pleasure to meet
We were both up for it; went down a treat
And when everyone partied and danced in the street
I was in seventh heaven
We drank and we danced and we propped up the bar
Pat crashed in a gutter Will smoked a cigar
It took more than an hour to get us in the car
We didn’t get home till seven
There could never be a night quite like the first
Although some nights were better and some nights were worse
You abated my hunger and slated my thirst
We had some of the best nights ever
We emptied the fridge in the room down below
Then went up for a water fight after the show
So we’re boozing and schmoozing with people we know
I thought it could on forever
CHORUS
I can't deny you got me
You got me by the balls
You can't deny you left me
All alone with sweet fuck all
You can't deny you made me cry
And failed to make amends
But still I can’t resist you
Here we go again
Le le le le le le le le le le le le le le
Le le le le le le le le le le le le le le
My love of Bologna was only have true
My love of Bologna was my love of you
I resisted temptation and I remained true
I rejected the charms of all others
You getting ready, you taking your time
Lasagna at Danny's with fine local wine
So we're late for the gig but it all ended fine
And we danced through the night like true lovers
We go to bar where you say it's your shout
Your famous red cocktails are handed about
Kyle's falling over and Will passes out
But you and I keep right on dancing
(Then as ) we walk out into the cold morning air
You tell me it's over I scream it's unfair
You say if I call for you, you won't be there
And I see the dark clouds advancing
CHORUS
One night I get a call out of the blue
Saying you want me to come back to you
You knew my answer - What else could I do?
You know I still love you like crazy
So I'm back in Bologna and we're back together
We'll teach the doubters, never say never
I love you now and I'll love you forever
Amore Bolognese
CHORUS
Lele le le le le le le le le le le le le
Lele le le le le le le le le le le le le
Lele le le le le le le le le le le le le
Lele le le le le le le le le le le le le
Lele le le le le le le le le le le le le
Lele le le le le le le le le le le le le
