			   Stereotype (Dammers)


because it changes keys and because of all the different instruments in it.
Please escuse me if the lyrics are screwed up, it is so difficult to
understand what he is saying.  Oh, well, here it is:

          
He~s just a stereotype
            
He drinks his aging wines
           
He has girls every night
                     
And he doesn~t really exist

                                            
Aaah....

                           
He spends his weekends with whatever floats
                             
He forgets the punchline when he tells a joke
                                
He wants to stay out, he doesn~t want to go home
                          
Till his prickly fingers are stuck down his throat

          
He~s just a stereotype
           
He drinks his aging wines
             
He drives home pissed at night
                        
And he listens to this ever hour

                                            
Aaah....

                         
He drank his fiancee when he went his peak
                            
The doctor said no drink for seventeen weeks
                         
He wants to go out but he has to stay home
                   
So he watches colour TV on his own

          
He~s just a stereotype
           
He drinks his aging wines
             
He drives home pissed at night
                       
And he listens to his stereo



    * *   *  *      *
The toplets are finished
*  *   * * *
The cure is complete
* *     *  * *    *  * * * *   *
He hasn~t had a  drink for se-ve-en-teen weeks
* * *   * * * * *  *  *
Se-venteen punks to li-mit his night
*   *       * *  *    * *   * * * *
Goes straight to his head, he ends up in a  fight

                               
The polices chase him through a dark rainy night
                   
The rest of... with flashing lights
                        
His mom~s waking up, she hopes he~s alright
                                   
But he~s wrapped round the lampost on Saturday night

          
He~s just a stereotype
           
He drinks his aging wines
           
He has girls every night
                   
And he doesn~t really exist

                                            
Aaah....

(This is just the basic transcription.  I hope I came close to the actual
song.  I know the lyrics did not come that close but oh well.  Comments,
