------------- No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man. |

I could only find it on Spotify: Tv-2 - "Læn dem ud" (Lean yourself out [of the train window]), 1988. http://open.spotify.com/track/43NNL8T0VQRiCWw5Sv0Uxr?si=QZEnpFgZQMWy9-C_FyWesQ" rel="nofollow - http://open.spotify.com/track/43NNL8T0VQRiCWw5Sv0Uxr?si=QZEnpFgZQMWy9-C_FyWesQ Back in the day, the Danish Intercity trains had a sign by the
windows that said "Læn Dem ikke ud" (Don't lean yourself out). Tv-2 are
paraphrasing it in this song. 'Dem' the
accusative form of 'de' which normally means 'they', but it is also used
in the meaning 'you', in the same manner as for instance the German 'Sie', the
French 'vous', the Spanish 'usted' and so on. So "Læn dem ud" can both
mean "Lean yourself out" and "Lean them out". Later in the song we get
the sentence "Smid dem endelig ud" which consequently can mean both
"Just throw yourself out (of the window)" or "Just throw them out". It
is possible that the songwriter Steffen Brandt wanted to address the
growing xenophobia; he had done so on other occasions, and he has a habit
of playing on double meanings. There are many layers to his songs. Lyrics: There I stood in the train thinking: What a mess is this What are we to do with the Danish indecisiveness And someone ought to do something Lean yourself, just lean yourself out Lean yourself, just lean yourself out And right there between Jutland and Funen and a long way from home I could suddenly hear an unclear inner speaker voice that said: Lean yourself, just lean yourself out Lean yoursef, hang yourself (them?), just throw yourself (them?) out Lean out Lean out Lean out Lean out on the rules, the systems, the principles Just throw yourself (them?) out Outside everything I could see my life passing by way too quickly: There's a pretty garden, a decent facade and a yawning boredom Lean yourself, just lean yourself out Lean yourself, just lean yourself out On my way out of the window I thought It might as well have been me sitting there with the coffee while a train passed by and someone shouted: Lean yourself, just lean yourself out Lean yoursef, hang yourself (them?), just throw yourself (them?) out Lean out Lean out Lean out Lean out on the coffee table, the Sunday coziness Just throw yourself (them?) ou |

Hi, On the Harvest label, from Germany ... there was one band called "Cherubin" and they had a train song that was fantastic. It was called "Choo-Choo Train" ... and it was neat!
