The song occurs in the winter of early 1980. The Nits have just released their first album on a major label, and they need to tour. Frontman Henk’s grandmother is afraid that the band will get a cold during the tour, and that they will be unable to perform, so she knits clothing for them all day.
Yellow Socks & Angst Lyrics
[Intro]
Knitting by the fire
Grandma is knitting
Ooooooooooooooooh…
By the fire
Electric fire
Television on a Saturday night
Rudi Carell on the television
Men are smoking cigars
Playing cards
By the fire
Men are drinking
Grandma is knitting a sweater
Grey sweater
Electric fire
Rudi Carell
Grandma is knitting a sweater and
[Chorus]
Socks socks yellow socks
Socks socks yellow socks
Socks socks yellow socks
And angst
[Verse]
My grandson is going to the North
With his band
I’m loosing him more, everyday
He’s getting smaller
Like the little boy
In my heart
In my heart
[Chorus]
Socks socks yellow socks
Socks socks yellow socks
Socks socks yellow socks
And angst
[Outro]
Between businessmen and truckdrivers
Plastic bags with aquavit and salmiakki
Outside
The world is changing
My life is changing
I saw the beauty of the world
Three little stars in the blue morning sky
