lyrics

On Nietzsche’s day off
The sun came out and it felt like a once off
He made a thermos of mushroom tea and went tripping in the park
Margarita told the Master
‘Boss I’m off the clock’
Picked up a couple of ice cold beers and
Met Friedrich in the park

They were hopping like a frog in a pond
Popping like a Dom Perignon
Checking out the scene all day long
They were going off their head like Ned Stark
Jumping like right over the shark
Shaking up the scene after dark
It’s Nietzsche’s day off

His momma called the cops
Said officer my boy is lost
The chief said we had him in cell 3B
But he was bailed out by Van Gogh

They were hopping like a frog in a pond
Popping like a Dom Perignon
Checking out the scene all day long
They were going off their head like Ned Stark
Jumping like right over the shark
Shaking up the scene after dark
It’s Nietzsche’s day off

Going to the museum
Sinking some beers
Catching up with friends
They hadn’t seen in years
I was at the studio
Sweating it out over these lyrics
When Nietzsche’s crew came through and said
‘Why so serious?’
It’s Nietzsche’s day off

They ran into Joan of Arc
Last drinks Mascara Bar
She said ‘Drink up Nietzsche,
come with Silvia P and me
to the kick on at Chez Kafka’

They were hopping like a frog in a pond
Popping like a Dom Perignon
Checking out the scene all day long
It’s Nietzsche’s day off

about

MF Tomlinson London, UK

An eclectic singer/songwriter “who seems to use music as a means to excavate within the soul” - Clash. Primarily a storyteller, MF Tomlinson negotiates styles as varied as acid folk, soul, alt country & chamber pop to create a singular presence. He achieves this genre fluidity with the help of a close-knit group of collaborators he calls “the MFs, because they’re all very talented motherfuckers.” ... more
