This Is Not Possible |
If you’re traveling with the band and you get to Frankfurt |
And there’s an icy feeling there and your feelings can get hurt |
We got to the venue and asked the guys, «Is our equipment here?» |
And they said, «This is not possible» |
We said, «Well, it’s cold outside and it’s raining cats and dogs |
Can we at least come inside and eat a Frankfurter hot dog?» |
We asked them «Is this at all remotely plausible?» |
And they said, «This is not possible» |
I said, «But we need to rehearse and a few of these guys just met |
We need to get to know each other, and it’s cold outside and it’s wet» |
They said, «Hey, we’re not your promoter, he’s on vacation |
I’m a bartender, he’s a bouncer and the merch girl’s stuck at the train station» |
I say, «Hey, we can roll with this |
But could you please be the slightliest bit hospitable?» |
They said, «What do you mean, 'roll with this'? |
Are you from California, dude?» |
We said, «No, we were just wondering |
If you could be the slightliest bit more affable?» |
And they said, «This is not possible» |
So we said, «Fuck you guys, this has been a waste of our time» |
And so we headed out of that dreary-ass place |
May I suggest a place when you’re jet-lagged as hell? |
It’s twenty minutes outside of Frankfurt |
It’s called the Romantik Hotel in the suburb of Frankfurt in a place called |
Schloss Rettershof |
That’s right the Romantik Hotel in Schloss Rettershof |
Schloss Rettershof |
In Schloss Rettershof |
The Romantik Hotel in Schloss Rettershof |
There are goats and sheeps and horses outside |
And the lady at the desk is very polite |
We said, «We know we’re here early but can we possibly |
Get into our rooms early, if it’s not too much trouble?» |
And she said, «Yes, this is possible» |
We go to lunch and the waiter brings three type of salts |
And he politely and eloquently describes them all |
I said, «Could I possible get a decaffeinated coffee with cream?» |
He said, «Americano, espresso, latte, what do you mean?» |
I said, «I mean a decaffeinated coffee with cream» |
And he said, «Yes, this is possible» |
I went to bed, and I was so tired I slept past 9 PM |
I went to the front desk and she said, «I'm sorry, you missed your dinner. |
The restaurant is closed sleepy man» |
I said, «But you don’t understand, I traveled a very long way from the USA |
Can you please check with your kitchen and see what they say?» |
And the guy from the kitchen came out and said, «Sure, I remember you |
You’re the guy who likes the tagliatelle» |
I said, «Yeah, that’s me, thanks for remembering, I’m the guy who likes the |
tagliatelle» |
I said, «Could I please order it again?» |
And the chef said, «Yes, this is possible» |
I woke up an hour or two late and my band members seemed moderately hostile |
I said, «We gotta get to the road to Holland |
But I’m hungry, do you mind if I eat as quick as possible?» |
They said, «Sure, but we’re late, but I guess your request is totally |
reasonable» |
And they said to me, «Mark, yes this is possible» |
I asked a waiter, «Could I please get a glass of water?» |
And he said, «Perhaps you’d like sparkling or a still in a large bottle?» |
I said, «Sparkling please, if it’s not too much trouble» |
And he said, «Of course not, yes this is possible» |
And when we arrived in Utrecht, the hotel was delightful |
Not like the one the put us in in Frankfurt, a youth hostel |
I asked the front desk, «Could I please get a few extra blankets, |
and maybe a pillow?» |
And the she said, «Yes, this is possible» |
And late at night we went on a hunt for food |
The place had many things to choose from |
Burgers and shawarmas and falafels |
I said, «Can I possibly get some fries and a falafel?» |
And the man said, «Yes, this is possible» |
And after I ate my falafel my stomach felt awful |
I asked the front desk lady if she had some Pepto-Bismol |
She said, «Well we have the Dutch version but I have to warn you it tastes very |
awful» |
I said, «That's no problem. |
Can I have some, please?» |
And she said, «Yes, this is possible» |
As they say, «When in Holland, do the like the Dutch» |
So I went to the henhouse to feel a hen’s touch |
I said, «Could I possibly buy an hour of your time, if it’s not too much |
trouble?» |
And the hen said, «Yes, this is possible» |
So the moral of the story is that in the country of Holland |
Whatever you ask for, they say «Yes, it’s possible» |
But in the city of Frankfurt, whatever you ask for they say «This is not |
possible» |
But in the city of Rettershof right outside of Frankfurt |
There is a peaceful hotel that is amiable and comfortable |
I recommend it highly, take your girlfriend there for a week |
It’s dreamlike and magical and serene and quaint |
Now if Germany calls and says «Would you guys like to come over here and play a |
festival?» |
I’d say, «Sure, if you could put my band in the Romantik Hotel in Schloss |
Rettershof» |
But if Germany says, «Well Mark, this is not possible» |
Then I’m gonna say, «Sorry, this is not possible» |
But if they call and ask me to see if I want to play in Berlin again |
Of course I’m gonna say, «Yes, this is possible» |
Is it possible that my favorite Lou Reed album is Berlin? |
Yes, this is possible |
Is it possible that the band Berlin wrote a song called «Sex» |
That gave me a raging boner when I was 15? |
Yes, this is possible |
Is it possible that my favorite Jonathan Richman song is called «Hospital»? |
Yes, this is possible |
Is it possible that J.D. Salinger wrote my favorite novel? |
Yes, this is possible |
Is it possible that my favorite meal is chicken and waffles? |
This is not possible |
Is it possible that the United States President needs to be admitted into a |
mental hospital? |
Yes, this is possible |
Is it possible that I’m singing this song in Berlin in front of thousands of |
people tonight? |
This is not possible |
Is it possible that I’m actually in the studio in the Tenderloin in San |
Francisco in the studio singing to Jim on drums, Ramon on guitar, Jeff on bass, |
Chris on keyboards, with Nathan behind me engineer and I’m in a vocal booth |
Yes, this is possible |
