It was 10 years ago when the Apocalypse happened
Everything started to fail
THE LAST MAN ON EARTZ
There was a time when there was no problem at all
There was plenty of everything
Suddenly the crisis came
At first there was a lack of resources
And then there was a lack of people
And here were are
Being the last man on Earth isn't easy
It's very boring. I miss the people that were around me
My friends, my family
The people you see everyday
the neighbours, the baker, the fish dealer
I miss everyone. I feel very lonely in planet Earth.
It's very difficult to find things to do, days seem so long
I think I'll never get used of not being able to talk to a friend
I used to come here to the river and throw rocks with my friends
I always remember it when I'm here
Every rock I throw remains me of a lost friend
I've thrown them all. I had a lot of friends
I was very popular
The only company I have is my puppy
He's a good boy. He's old now and doesn't move a lot
No, he doesn't. But he is always with me
Mutants? Yeah, there were lots of them
But I killed them. I killed them all
Now, I kind of miss them
They came to screw with me, the ***
And I killed them because they deserved it
They were the closest thing I had to a friend... The mutants
I wake up. I'm still an idealist, so
I watch through the window thinking there are people outside
Well, I am an idealist and also a little drowsy in the mornings
I wake up, still sleepy, I look out the window and there is no one
So the first impression is awful
The worst thing about being alone in the world is there isn't maintenance anymore
At least there are no vandals. Look how they left everything
I love coming to the countryside
I never came before, because there were a lot of critters
Serpents...
But now there is no one
It's been long since I've seen a snake or a roe deer
I wander, I smell the trees. I'm in contact with life
Still life
Everything is dead here
I like to curl up near to what used to be alive
I crouch and I can stay for hours, or days
I was vey shy, but now, since no one sees me
I'm alone! I'm alone!
Sometimes I like to dress for adventure
Like an adventurer, so I can go into the woods
But there are times when I prefer to take a walk downtown
Although there is no one to see me I like to be well-dressed
So I dress casual
Sometimes I go out for dinner, and you're gonna laugh at me
But when I finish and get out of the restaurant I just assaulted
I raise my hand to call a cab
And I know is hard to find a cab at night
And when I've waited for an hour I think: There are no cabs! There is no one anymore!
I have survived by looting
I have looted canned food, pre cooked meals
a lot of pizza too
There's been a huge advance in meals for singles
Individual frozen veggies bags, créme caramel for one
And you'll think I've become a gourmet since I can eat whatever I want
No one sees me, I don't know why I look after myself
But I do, I like to be well with myself and eat healthy
I love calamari, the round fried ones
I don't eat much
So I'm not concerned about the lack of supplies
I think Lidl has a further expiration date
And althought I liked Mercadona very much
I had to get used to Lidl
Also, I don't know how they do it. There is no one
But I still recieve their advertisment on my mailbox
Lidl's and also Media Markt's
And I'm thankful, because I can find out about bargains
and End of Season Sales
One good thing about the Apocalypse is that people ran off
and they left their cars carelessly
So if I see one I like
This one is a 2000's Seat Ibiza
I take a look to see if the keys are in, and if they are, I take it
I don't usually take expensive cars
I was a very modest person in the earlier life
And even now I don't like to show off
And no one sees me, but I don't like it
A two-seater is enough for me
since I don't have kids
and I can go to the supermarket whenever I want
I don't need a lot of space
When the gas tank is almost empty, I jump off the car and take another one
I can't wait
I've got used to being well-off
I used to have a rear-view mirror
Everytime I looked there never was anyone
And it made me sad
I left the ones on the sides because I like to park correctly
I hate when people park on the line
Sometimes I've parked on a no parking spot
because, well, good manners fade
Whenever I see a traffic light I stop
I get all emotional when I see the little green man walking
because I remember when the people were alive
I am a sentimental guy
I haven't lost the habit of looking both ways before crossing the street
Look! The Apocalypse has come
Well, it came to these houses, because they were subsidized housings
but those, they are regular ones and they have lasted
That's because they have better quality
I look for houses that are 70-75 square meters
good materials, three bedrooms, optional parking
That's the kind of houses I live in
It's very important they have two bathrooms, one for the guests
Because I hate when someone goes peeing into yours
What I never get is a terraced house
Because I've never liked having neighbours wall to wall
I love going to the movies
Because I don't have to wait in line
There's no one to change the picture
So I have to watch the same movie over and over
The movie is "Snowflake, the White Gorilla". It's my favorite
It' not because is the only one, no, it's my favorite for real
I know it by heart, and I watch it everytime I can
I love it when Snowflake is walking down the street, and it begins to snow
And he says: Look! Snowflakes like me!... He's brilliant.
Truth is I used to love going to the park
But now is not the same anymore
Because it's so hard not to hear childrens' laughter
And I miss it very much
The laughter, not the children
Boy, do I miss the laughter
I was very sporty before, and I still like it
The problem is I always played team sports
And this damned Apocalypse has taken away everybody
And the worst thing is
It also took away the ball
I'm the last man on Earth
Well, Evening News, thanks for coming see you next time
And you know, "mi casa es su casa". Bye!
