Lyrics
[Verse 1]
And the women tug their hair
Like they're trying to prove it won't fall out
And all the men are gargoyles
Dipped long in Irish stout
[Verse 2]
The whole place is pickled
The people are pickles for sure
And no one knows if they've done more here
Than they ever would do in a jar
[Chorus]
This could be Rotterdam or anywhere
Liverpool or Rome
'Cause Rotterdam is anywhere
Anywhere alone
Anywhere alone
[Verse 3]
And everyone is blonde and everyone is beautiful
And when blonde and beautiful are multiple
They become so dull and dutiful
[Verse 4]
And when faced with dull and dutiful
They fire red warning flares
Battle cocky personality
With red underwear
[Chorus]
This could be Rotterdam or anywhere
Liverpool or Rome
'Cause Rotterdam is anywhere
Anywhere alone
Anywhere alone
[Verse 5]
The whole place is pickled
The people are pickles for sure
And no one knows if they've done more here
Than they ever would do in a jar
[Chorus]
This could be Rotterdam or anywhere
Liverpool or Rome
'Cause Rotterdam is anywhere
Anywhere alone
[Chorus]
This could be Rotterdam or anywhere
Liverpool or Rome
'Cause Rotterdam is anywhere
Anywhere alone
[Bridge]
Anywhere alone
Anywhere alone
Anywhere alone, alone, alone
[Chorus]
Oh, this could be Rotterdam
Or anywhere
Liverpool or Rome
'Cause Rotterdam is anywhere alone
