History
On 28 July 1912, a pier in Binz on the island Rügen, Germany collapsed under the load of 1,000 people waiting for the cruise steamer Kronprinz Wilhelm. Sailors of the German navy were able to save most people, but 17 people died because they could not swim, including seven children. This catastrophe led to the foundation of the "Deutsche Lebens-Rettungs-Gesellschaft (DLRG)" (German lifesaving organization) on 19 October 1913 in Leipzig.

Tile Work
by: Tim BarryI walk straight now but with a sway
Please consider where I’ve been
I’m burning oxycotins now
Instead of heroin
Please consider where I’ve been
Please consider where I’ve been
I ain’t got nothing and I can’t have both
Please consider where I’ve been
When I was a young man and married man
I’d tell you don’t ever tie that knot
But now I’m old and my girl left home
I ain’t happy with what I got
Please consider where I’ve been
Please consider where I’ve been
I ain’t got nothing and I can’t have both
Please consider where I’ve been
[2x]
I got a Cadillac appetite
And a chitling income true
And sure as shit, I’ll drink my fill
Before the evening’s through
Please consider where I’ve been
Please consider where I’ve been
I ain’t got nothing and I can’t have both
Please consider where I’ve been
Well, my girl got me like tile work
And laid me the first time right
So she could walk all over me
For the rest of her damn life
Please consider where I’ve been
Please consider where I’ve been
I ain’t got nothing and I can’t have both
Please consider where I’ve been
