Gentleman of the Year
Gentleman of the Year is one of Beatsteaks' biggest songs in recent years, being played at almost every concert.
Contrary to the final version, the demo recording is an intimate insight on Arnim putting down the idea to this song. He hums the vocal melody while playing acoustic guitar. Walter Schreifels contributed a lot of lyrical input in cooperation with Arnim to this song in particular.
[Verse 1]
Get in where you fit in
And get in where you're feelin'
And get in where you fit in
But don't get it caught
And more wine and roses
And crystal clear
It's just smoke and mirrors around here
[Pre-Chorus]
Na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na
Keep on rolling high (Keep on rolling high)
When you feel so alive (When you feel so alive)
Just taking flight
Wait for this moment to arrive
[Chorus 1]
And you're crazy if you wanna deny it (Crazy if you wanna deny it)
Too careful if you wanna be sure (Careful if you wanna be sure)
You have everything if money can buy it
When he's here
The Gentleman of the year
[Verse 2]
Get in where you fit in
Get where you feelin'
Get in where you fit in
But don't get lost, oh
(Yeah) In foreign places
Where time's forgot
Just go on dancing 'til the music stops
[Pre-Chorus]
Na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na
Keep on rolling high (Keep on rolling high)
When you feel so alive (When you feel so alive)
Just taking flight
Wait for this moment to arrive
[Chorus 2]
And you're crazy If you wanna deny it (Crazy if you wanna deny it)
Too careful if you wanna be sure (Careful if you wanna be sure)
You have everything if money can buy it
When he's here
The Gentleman of the year (Gentleman, gentleman, gentleman)
The Gentleman of the year (Gentleman, gentleman, gentleman)
[Bridge]
Where do we go from here?
Where do we go from–
Where do we go from–
Where do we go from–
Where do we go from–
Where do we–
[Outro]
Don't get caught, oh
And don't get caught
And don't get caught
And don't get caught
Don't get–
