lyrics
Grand Hotel Cosmopolis
This little old man has taken the stage
And he’s yelling his inexpressible rage
That’s the signal for the good times!
Time to get moving
To this band, we really know how to look like we know what we’re doing
We’re at the Grand Hotel Cosmopolis
The Grand Hotel Cosmopolis
If you’re an exile like me, this is the place you can go
There’s a lot of that going around you know
Here’s where the people are decent, friendly and kind
That’s a radical notion in these clarifying times
Here at the Grand Hotel Cosmopolis
The Grand Hotel Cosmopolis
So come on with me
Help me prove that it’s true
We have a better party than the right-wing bastards do
Come on with me
And when you get done
Go make a Grand Hotel Cosmopolis of your own
A Grand Hotel Cosmopolis
Grand Hotel Cosmopolis
We’re gonna have a party tonight
Briga’s gonna block the German police
The nationalists wish that we didn’t exist
Sponsored by the klezmer bund and Jewdas
We’re gonna celebrate and grieve
And swing a chicken with it
I got a flask behind my handkerchief
I bet you know what’s in it
This little old man has taken the stage
And he’s yelling his inexpressible rage
That’s the signal for the good times!
Time to get moving
To this band, we really know how to look like we know what we’re doing
We’re at the Grand Hotel Cosmopolis
The Grand Hotel Cosmopolis
If you’re an exile like me, this is the place you can go
There’s a lot of that going around you know
Here’s where the people are decent, friendly and kind
That’s a radical notion in these clarifying times
Here at the Grand Hotel Cosmopolis
The Grand Hotel Cosmopolis
So come on with me
Help me prove that it’s true
We have a better party than the right-wing bastards do
Come on with me
And when you get done
Go make a Grand Hotel Cosmopolis of your own
A Grand Hotel Cosmopolis
Grand Hotel Cosmopolis
We’re gonna have a party tonight
Briga’s gonna block the German police
The nationalists wish that we didn’t exist
Sponsored by the klezmer bund and Jewdas
We’re gonna celebrate and grieve
And swing a chicken with it
I got a flask behind my handkerchief
I bet you know what’s in it

about
Geoff Berner Vancouver, British Columbia
Singer / songwriter / accordionist / novelist Geoff Berner's music combines klezmer, punk, political satire and Balkan dance rhythms. He writes sharp, literate songs that make you want to weep, laugh, grind your teeth, or kick out a window - often all at the same time. Having built a cult following with his weirdly compelling stage presence, G.B. has a strange ability to create fun chaos. ... more
