He had a macchiato instead of a latteTo kick start the day before he did karateWearing a badge saying 'My name is Marty'That may as well say 'Don't invite me to parties'And Starbucks means the world to himWhere the milk is semi-skimmedCaramel ice cold frappe He's in Starbucks every dayBut one rainy summer in mid-afternoonHe was eating the froth with a plastic spoonReading the leaflet about bean roastingQuizzing himself about what he knew most in When he looked down and then looked upShe was drinking from his coffee cupBright orange hair, eyes like a gothShe looked right at him but he had froth on his chinShe threw his cup against the wallShouting 'The bigger they are, the harder they fall'He knew then that he loved that girlCause the bigger her heart the harder he fell for herShe looked so mischievous like the girl in the BeanoHated capitalism and capuccinoHe listened hard as she gave him a lectureSongtexteSaying some stuff that he just didn't expect her toThat the smaller people that you meetCan't set up a coffee shop in the streetCause the big boys won't let small boys playBut you still drink Starbucks every dayShe threw his cup against the wallShouting 'The bigger they are, the harder they fall'And he knew then that he loved that girlCause the bigger her heart the harder he fell for herHe'd not been this happy since holy communionThey held hands and set up their own trade unionShe cried with joy and he said 'What's the catch?'And she smashed a plate and said 'Direct action'.He'd fallen in love at first sightBut something didn't feel quite rightThe smile he had started to fadeIt didn't feel like a fair trade to himShe threw his cup against the wallShouting 'The bigger they are, the harder they fall'He knew then that he loved that girlCause the bigger her heart the harder he fellHe said 'Let's get married'She said 'Don't tie me down''I'm just a breeze blowing the under the ground'He said 'But baby I love you'She said 'What does that mean? Love's just a cog in the corporate machine. I'm a symbol of something that's just out of reach, I'm something that you are not something you teach. I'm wild, untameable, I need no rest. And the love that I have I save for protest'And deep in his heart he knew that she was rightBut that day in May he learned how to fightHe gave up the lattes, kicked out karateDevoted himself to every cause in the worldFighting banks, corporations in all of the nationsBut he always remembered that magical girlWho threw his cup against the wallShouting 'The bigger they are, the harder they fall'He knew then that he loved that girlCause the bigger her heart the harder he fell for her Aus Songtexte Mania
