This song is about Ulrike Meinhof, one of the leaders of the Marxist-Leninist terrorist group Red Army Faction from 1970 until her death in 1976.
[Chorus]
You sometimes wonder and you sometimes wonder
Ten thousand Deutschmarks to hand me over
Oh you sometimes wonder and you sometimes wonder
You can make a living sometimes wondering
[Verse 1]
Don't think these bones can be sold when I'm long gone
Don't think that I should want to sell my soul for the Sundays
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't wait for me to say I'm sorry - I won't
Who wants to be a Green MP? I don't
[Chorus]
You sometimes wonder and you sometimes wonder
Ten thousand Deutschmarks to hand me over
Oh you sometimes wonder and you sometimes wonder
You can make a living sometimes wondering
[Bridge: Elvis Presley]
Wise men say
Only fools rush in
But I can't help
Falling in love with you
Shall I stay?
Would it be a sin
If I can't help
Falling in love with you?
[Verse 2]
Don't think I walked into banks to stand in the queue
Don't think I pressed up to the plexiglass just to talk to you
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't wait for me to say I'm sorry - I won't
Who wants to be a Green MP? I don't
[Chorus]
You sometimes wonder and you sometimes wonder
Ten thousand Deutschmarks to hand me over
Oh you sometimes wonder and you sometimes wonder
You can make a living sometimes wondering
