Eddie: "Alright we'd like to say thanks, thanks for coming out, those of you lucky enough to get tickets... We've had some interesting shows in Germany... I remember every one of them, for good and bad... but actually this show is on the the radio tonight so a bunch of other people were eavesdropping...

Ooh, 'fuck' again.;-)
Not For You
Eddie: "The next song I'd like to send out to the people who started radio fritz... we know from walking around here that it's not that you don't have good records here in Berlin, it's just that they don't seem to play it on the radio. We're not trying to say that only certain types of songs are good, and others are bad, or certain types of music, but radio fritz seems to have played a lot of records that nobody else would. This show tonight and the fact that it's getting out beyond this room, it's our thanks to them. So thank you, radio fritz..
And now, Mike and I would like to serenade you...
PRESENT TENSE!!!
more clapping
Eddie: "Okay, before we go, we'll play one more, called 'Leaving Here.' It's what we gotta do. We're gonna bring out the Fastbacks. They're from Seattle, everyone give 'em a big hand now... I think they're pissed off because we're leaving. This ones off a compilation record called 'Home Alive' which I hope you can find over here and this one goes something like this...
Leaving Here
