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
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
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
When i was a younger man i drank a lot of coffee
I studied biology and philosophy
The only thing i learned was what no one said to me
You better live now and stop getting ready
I played in a band, we toured the old world
The shows were exciting, fun and unheard
I loved the spirit, i loved the UK
And chilling with my friends by the side of the highway
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
In the fall of two thousand six
I changed my name to Stanley Brinks
I turned my back on friends and family
And became an enemy of society
