"Zu spät (Special Maxi)"

"Zu spät" (German for too late) is a punk song by Die Ärzte. It was the eleventh track and the second single from their 1984 album Debil.

It's a humorous song about jealousy and revenge. The narrator is devastated over his love interest's preference of a wealthier rival and compares their capabilities of entertaining the girl throughout the song, while fantasizing that he will be a star someday and will then reject her, when she'll come crawling back.
