I Will Delay - From The Album: Angela Merkel: The Euro Years
Þessi dægurlagatexti var að detta inn í pósthólfið mitt. Hér "syngur" Angela Merkel þekkt lag Gloriu Gaynor, með nýjum texta. Eftir því sem ég kemst næst útgáfudagur ekki ljós, en þeir sem vilja spreyta sig í söngnum, er bent á karaoki útgáfu sem hægt er að nota sem undirspil og ég hef sett hér með.
I Will Delay (from Angela Merkel: The Euro Years)
First I was angstvoll, I was petrified
Greece looking like defaulting, Ireland on the slide
I spent oh so many years with the euro much too strong
Now its not even clear, which countries should belong
And so were back
At the Council
With Nicolas, and Enda, and Silvio as well
We should have tightened up the rulebook
For the single currency
If wed known for just one second
Wed fund this facility
Go on now go, down to Brussels
Well fly over and talk some more, while the market sells
They want a big bazooka, a comprehensive fix,
An ECB-backed bailout fund, but well give them nix.
Its all okay! We can delay!
Well have a weekend summit
And another one Wednesday
Theres a G-20 coming up
For the Greeks its just tough luck
Lets just delay
Til someone pays
And then cross-border banks started to fall apart
Talk of haircuts and big writedowns nearly broke my heart
I spent oh so many nights in the Justus Lipsius
Talking late
Til we said just make them wait!
You see these bonds
Theyre something new,
Fudge them with the ESM, it might just get us through
Markets in a tailspin, spreads about to burst
I wish wed kept our promise from July the twenty-first
Call the BRICs and Jean-Claude Trichet, hope that we can cheat our fate
And maybe in the meantime lets just name another date?
Come on again, down to Brussels
Well work on technicalities while the true Finns yell,
Markets may be seized up, theres no liquidity,
But well create distraction by chastising Italy,
Its all okay! We can delay!
Well have a weekend summit
And another one Wednesday
Theres a G-20 coming up
For the Greeks its just tough luck
Lets just delay
Til someone pays
