Margerine Rock Songtext
von Stereolab

The beauty of this creature could only be equaled by
The extent of its paradox only be equaled by
Because it wanted two things
Opposite and conflicting (para-pa-para pa)

It wanted the light it wanted everything in sight (para-pa-para pa)
Wanted to dominate or at least to participate (para-pa-para pa)
But only in the comforts (para-pa-para pa)
Of its chair and its slippers (para-pa)


The curiosity of the extraordinary creature (para-pa-para pa)
Was indeed limited because it could not suffer (para-pa-para pa)
The unknown in any shape or form (para-pa-para pa)
At the same time of wanting to look everywhere (para-pa-para pa)

Set up at the top of its tower
The creature revealed in being a spectator
Through the glass what a glorious view
Relishing the gift of so much transparency

Relishing the gift of so much transparency
Having had absolutely no influence
