Living Next Door to Argrath


tune: Smokey's "Living Next Door to Alice"
lyrics: Jörg Baumgartner

The Issaries trader, when she got the word,
she said, I supposed you have heard
about Argrath.

So I rushed to the rampart, my sword in my hand,
willing to bleed in defense of our land,
When I saw how big a force was in Argrath's camp.


CHORUS:
I stole some of his cattle, he raided most of mine,
I guess there was a reason why our feud wouldn't decline,
but for 24 years I've been living next door to Argrath
- Argrath, who the f*** is Argrath -
24 years, and then he realized,
now he's playing with the big boys and still hates even my sight,
now I've gotta get used to have been living next door to Argrath.
- Argrath, who the f*** is Argrath -


I can remember when we were just boys
we struggled mightily, our swords were just toys,
I herded our sheep, and in the neighbouring clan
there was Argrath.

I practiced my slinging and brought down his ram,
I swear he was bringing me down in a jam,
I couldn't get out, but that Argrath was there.


CHORUS:

I stole some of his cattle, he raided most of mine,
I guess there was a reason why our feud wouldn't decline,
but for 24 years I've been living next door to Argrath
- Argrath, who the f*** is Argrath -
24 years, and then he realized,
now he's playing with the big boys and still hates even my sight,
now I've gotta get used to have been living next door to Argrath.
- Argrath, who the f*** is Argrath -


Now Argrath, he tells me, our lands must be free,
he says he knows how to help get over
the occupation.
Now Tatius is gone, but we are still here
you know we've been waiting for twenty four years,
since the flame disappeared.


CHORUS 2:
Now Sartar fights for freedom, or so he's telling me,
I guess he's got a reason, even though it's hard to see,
cause for twenty four years I've been feuding with the clan of Argrath.
- Argrath, who the f*** is Argrath -
Twenty for years, without a second glance,
now he stands there to tell me that we really got a chance,
But I'll never get used to not raiding next door that Argrath.
- Argrath, who the f*** is Argrath -

No, I'll never get used to not raiding next door that Argrath.
