About Good Morning, Herr Horst

"Good Morning, Herr Horst" is Mando Diao's second single by the album Ode to Ochrasy and their twelfth overall. It was only released in Germany. Herr Horst is a German homeless living in Stockholm, infamous for playing the harmonica in a very peculiar way. The single was only released in Germany; in the rest of Europe, TV & Me was released instead. "Carbon Place" is the first song Mando Diao have released which contains some Swedish lyrics. "Spit On Your Love" was also included as a B-side to The Wildfire (If It Was True) EP available on iTunes. The single edit of the title track is actually longer than the album version, which is unusual, as single edits are usually shorter than their album counterparts. The song is about Horst Holtfreter, a homeless man who used to play the mouth organ on the streets of central Stockholm.

I've been walking down the street
With a tambourine on my feet
I'm holding every beat steady and low
Well if it would've been me
I would have turned into the factory
And chase that little girl black and blue

Now I'm bleeding
And I'm freezing
And I'm crying once again
For Monday glass
For Monday glass

So if you see me on the street
Don't ask me about my passing days
Just slip another coin
And walk away

Lalalalalalalalalaâ?¦

I once had a love of mine
With a different heart
In another time
I blew that all with pills and alcohol

I once had a child of mine
With a different heart
In another time
I blew that off with booze and lack of soul

Now I'm bleeding
And I'm freezing
And I'm crying once again
For Monday glass
For Monday glass

So if you see me on the street
Don't ask me about my passing days
Just slip another coin
And walk away
Yeah slip another coin
And walk away

Lalalalalalalalalaâ?¦
