In the summer of nineteen seventy-three
A boy was born and that boy was me
In the summer of nineteen seventy-three
A boy was born and that boy was me
Born with blue eyes and blond hair
And relatives and origins everywhere
A boy was born and that boy was me
In the summer of nineteen seventy-three
My mother was quiet and educated
She travelled the world, she studied and painted
My mother was quiet and educated
She travelled the world, she studied and painted
She used the french that she was reading
And never made it back to sweden
She travelled the world, she studied and painted
My mother was quiet and educated
My father was a doctor but he played the guitar
On the day that you are born, you know who you are
My father was a doctor but he played the guitar
On the day that you are born, you know who you are
He gave me the name of my late grandfather
One goes down and up comes the other
My father was a doctor but he played the guitar
On the day that you are born, you know who you are
When I was a younger man I drank a lot of coffee
I studied biology and philosophy
As was a younger man I drank a lot of coffee
I studied biology and philosophy
The only thing i learned was what noone said to me
You better live now and stop getting ready
I studied biology and philosophy
As I was a younger man when I drank a lot of coffee
I played in a band, we toured the old world
The shows were excited, fun and unheard
I played in a band, we toured the old world
The shows were excited, fun and unheard
I loved the spirit, I loved the UK
And chilling with my friends by the side oof the highway
The shows were excited, fun and unheard
When I played in a band, we toured the old world
I loved the movies, I loved the ocean
I liked the idea of an orphan nation
I loved the movies, I loved the ocean
I liked the idea of an orphan nation
So i flew to the city to catch up with a friend
I met a few songsters and a lot of good men
I liked the idea of an orphan nation
I loved the movies and I loved the ocean
In the fall of two thousand six
I changed my name to Stanley Brinks
In the fall of two thousand six
I changed my name to Stanley Brinks

And became an enemy of society
When changed my name to Stanley Brinks
In the fall of two thousand six
