Who really pulled the trigger on JFK? Does Double R still offer coffee for take away? Is Donna Hayward still smoking cigarettes? And was it Leo who drove that red corvette? Did the pine weasel riot stop all activism? And would "Stop Ghostwood" count as effective altruism?

Dear Dale 01:30
Dear Dale Bartholomew Cooper – what are you up to these days? Would you fancy visiting Ulm – we got good coffee and damn fine cafes? …we could have donuts on the shore of the Donau …we could chat about Tibet ….I could take you to the Weishaupt museum ….the sparrows are not what they seem – oh! INVITE GORDON, TOO!

Students are queuing at Myer’s for House music - till 12 the entry is free Good for them, but I don’t really like House Music – it never meant anything to me Greasy quiffs, tattoos and petticoats – Tonight at Swobster’s: Rockabilly They offer dance-classes every second Saturday – but I was never an attendee in these Jeffrey Lewis is playing at Kradhalle – I really wanted to go! “Don’t be upset”? – Easier said that done – I got no tickets for the sold out show? Irish Folk at Murphy’s is fine with me – great atmosphere! But, no offence, People are sitting on chairs at tables and – that means: no space to dance Another Friday, another: Eden – we love you Another Friday, another: Eden – we love you ….. And Olga….Olga, we love you, too And coffee, coffee we love you, too!

Verse Chorus Verse Chrous Instrumental part - Coffee Now you say there’s more than a dozen songs about this particular topic Now I say you are right but what about this?

Soul A Go Go 02:37
Sorry to these guys whose feet I trampled on But you must understand: Tainted Love was on! I know we got off on the wrong foot today But your feet move to the beat - everything’s gonna be okay! And you ride with your bike Through the city at midnight Put the kickstand down through the door and onto the dance floor dance floor Another half-smoked cigarette falls to the ground And the reason for that is: Jackson 5 was on! It’s already past midnight, the ghosts they roam the town But for us it’s just time to leave our bedrooms And I grab your hand As the 7” records Spin on the turntable As we spin on the dancefloor… dance floor

Chin Up 01:09
Chin up! A cup of coffee is what you need I hope it will bring you back on your feet You say, “I’ m a grown-up! and that shouldn’t happen to me” You say that you messed up, but that doesn’t matter to me

Song for Ulm 02:44
Monday Morning, you’re still sleepy and although you kind of ran You were late for the line 3 and so you missed your bus again You’d been running out of coffee, so for breakfast only tea You wanna go back to bed instead of going to university The next bus is in half an hour so you decide to walk All of a sudden you start smiling as your mind creates a thought…. Friday night everything’s gonna be alright and all your worries gone We’ll be “out on the floor” in Paradise on Karlstraße Seventy-One When you arrive at the lecture hall it’s already ten to eight In front of the blackboard the teacher tells you off for being late She talks about carbohydrates and monosaccharides You put your head on the table slowly closing your eyes Soon you’re fast asleep and in your dream you’re making plans To meet up with the others, Sunday afternoon at Jan’s Sunday everything’s gonna be alright – and uni miles away! There’ll be coffee and cake and Monster Mix and “Walk away Renee”!

If you offer me a cup of coffee I might never leave If you offer me a cup of coffee I might never leave Cause I always assume People get tired of me After a while - seriously I always seem to miss this moment by miles If you offer me another cup I might stay until morning I just want to give you a warning I might even stick around to watch the sun rise All I want to do is to advise you to think twice Cause coffee seems to hit a reset button in me Seriously - If you give me one more cup I might stay indefinitely If just one person screams for an encore we’ll come back on stage It’s just like this feeling when you don’t want to turn the page Cause everything that will come next might not hold up It’s like when you just had a weird dream and don’t want to get up Cause coffee seems to hit a reset button in me Seriously - If you give me one more cup I might stay indefinitely If you offer me a cup of coffee I might never leave...

Will the police have closed down dodgy One Eyed Jacks? Does Agent Cooper still take his coffee black? Will the Bookhouse Boys patch have a new design? And will Norma’s coffee still be “damn fine”? Will James Hurley be back from his ego trip? And what will condescending Dick consider hip?
