Tocotronic - 10th Anniversary

The Idea Is Good but the World Isn't Ready Yet

Go to a station in the so called 'spring' again
Say 'hello' to a stranger that comes out a train
Invite him for a coke in the snackbar straight ahead
Maybe he got problems and wants to talk about that

Probably he has no time, I bet
The idea is good but the world isn't ready yet

Ride with a bicycle to another part of the city
Say 'hello' to a girl that maybe doesn't think you're pretty
Invite her for an ice cream, 'Cujamara Split'
Maybe she got a problem and wants to talk about it

Probably she has no time, I bet
The idea is good but the world isn't ready yet

Yesterday at half past three there was another song to write
So I call up a girlfriend in the middle of the night
And I sing it through the telephone and it says 'I love you'
After I lay up I cried in a moody blue

Probably she has no time, I bet
The idea is good but the world isn't ready yet
Probably she has no time, I bet
The idea is good but the world isn't ready yet
