It takes a special physique
To do what you want
Because usually nobody
Is all right as you are
You looked for understanding, you know
You find yourself in competition, you know
It takes a beastly physique
To withstand the blows of life
To what you read in the newspaper
And sometimes also to the bad luck
It takes a beastly physique, you know, special, you know
Also to drink and to smoke
It takes a beastly physique
Because we are always at crossroads
Left, right or straight
The fact is that it is always a risk
It takes a moment of pease
To do what you like
And as the proverbs say
And also my uncle says it
Healthy mind in healthy body
And now also I am convinced
It takes a lot of training
To stand upright against the wind
It takes a beastly physique
To be in the world of great people
And then to go to certain dinners
With cunning and arrogant types
It takes a beastly physique you know, special, you know
It can also hurt a lot, you know
It takes a beastly physique
The world is a big hospital
And we are all a bit sick
But we are also a bit doctors
And we are all very ingnorant, you know
But we are also a bit teachers
It takes a beastly physique
....Because we are boats in the middle of the sea
