Is this it

Versions: #1
A quick loan got me a holiday package
The destination was set on Visulahti's wax cabinet
I got the cheapest rental car
Good for us, tacky to others
My wife solves crossword puzzles next to me
I'm trying to learn how to use the clutch
The kids are trying to guess where we are going
I can't see anything in front of me in the rain storm
 
Is this it?
The kids' Monopoly is scattered across Highway 4
The cold nonalcoholic beer is left undrunk
I bought a six pack for Solicer's fridge
 
Is this it?
The car leaks glycol on the tarmac
The youth idol is quenched on the radio and now
We are surrounded by this total silence
The kids deserve these surprises
I have let them down too many times
Our education and work failed
Christmas without a ham stayed on my mind
Solifer hydroplaned on the road
He did not even have a second to think about his move
Tires sliding, the speed at one hundred
I do not know if even Vatanen would have survived
 
Is this it?
The kids' Monopoly is scattered across Highway 4
The cold nonalcoholic beer is left undrunk
I bought a six pack for Solicer's fridge
 
Is this it?
The car leaks glycol on the tarmac
The youth idol is quenched on the radio and now
We are surrounded by this total silence
 
The holidays start now
And even though I'm bedridden for a month
It doesn't matter that I have my wrist in a cast
I see the front page of Iltalehti
Daddy made us famous

Thick as a brick

[Verse 1]
I was created with the left hand in heaven
I got what I happened to get
In a nearby pub I was brought in front of you
You looked at me pitiyng and said ”just come”
You gave me one shelf from your wardrobe
You went to the theatre with me and read me the ABC-book in the evenings
 
[Pre-chorus]
With you life is so goddamn expensive
I wish I was Kimi Räikkönen
With you one would need divine power
But I have a normal head and surname
 
[Chorus]
Often it feels that I’m a comic book Vituiksmän
Who with petroly fingers scraped a match
Dear, little by little I believe and understand
Man is definetely thick as a brick
 
[Verse 2]
Your decision guides our relationship
There a man can’t object
Without you I would crawl
Your love makes me pray for mercy
Thanks, you managed to teach me to become housebroken
And all my friendships you helped me to stop
 
[Pre-chorus]
With you life is so goddamn expensive
I wish I was Kimi Räikkönen
With you one would need divine power
But I have a normal head and surname
 
[Chorus]
Often it feels that I’m a comic book Vituiksmän
Who with petroly fingers scraped a match
Dear, little by little I believe and understand
Man is definetely thick as a brick
 
[Bridge]
For long enough when we are being repeated
It finally is felt as a truth
Man is definitely thick as a brick
Man is definitely thick as a brick
 
[Chorus]
Often it feels that I’m a comic book Vituiksmän
Who with every petroly fingers scraped a match
Dear, little by little I believe and understand
Man is definetely thick as a brick
 

Fipple Flute

[Verse 1]
In the last bus of this night
In the back seat, me and you
All happened so naturally
You opened a beer bottle
You said 'I have some cheese snacks'
The trip to Koivukylä lasted an hour
Straight from the shower to the bedroom
Still thinking about it
 
[Chorus]
Ma-ma-ma-marjaana
I'd even jump into an elevator shaft for you
Never coming across people like you
Marjaana
You played the fipple flute
More beautifully than anybody else
 
[Verse 2]
Looking a man in the eyes
and with the 2 hand technique
Everything going so effortless
Your mouth you gargled with Pepsi Max
Left from my place in to the morning with the taxi
Sat in the side of my bed
And realized that I did not have your number
After you I ran without my pants and sweater
 
[Chorus]
Ma-ma-ma-marjaana
I'd even jump into an elevator shaft for you
Never coming across people like you
Marjaana
You played the fipple flute
More beautifully than anybody else
 
[Bridge]
But that car probably wasn't a taxi
Wou, wou, wou, wou
Which took you away from me
Wou, wou, wou, wou
It must have been your dad or brother
It must have been your dad or brother
 
[Pre-chorus]
Marjaana
Marjaana
 
[Chorus]
Ma-ma-ma-marjaana
I'd even jump into an elevator shaft for you
Never coming across people like you
Marjaana
You played the fipple flute
More beautifully than anybody else
 

You and I forever

Versions: #2
Voices of children echo from the neighbor next door
Here on our side the silence and longing grow year after year
 
Like ducks in a Stenvall1 painting
One of us is awake under the striped bed sheets
How long can we still go on imagining this lullaby?
 
When we are next to each other
You face me and cry
Why did it turn out like this?
How can I make you believe?
I'll be here forever
I love you
Even if it's just you and I forever
 
Our selective glances are noticed wherever we go
In ads and in the beautiful creations of god in the parks
Maybe it's our time is now, we're waiting here in this familiar hallway
Soon they'll invite us into the room, I wish they'll bless us with happiness
 
When we are next to each other
You face me and cry
Why did it turn out like this?
How can I make you believe?
I'll be here forever
I love you
Even if it's just you and I forever
 
I'll always stand by my love
At the Christmas dinner table I want to protect you
From the questions they pose that hurt us
 
When we are next to each other
You face me and cry
How did it turn out like this?
How can I make you believe?
I'll be here forever
I love you
Even if it's just you and I forever
 

• 1. Kaj Stenvall is a Finnish artist who became internationally famous when he began his career painting images that people associate with Walt Disney's Donald Duck.

Silent Cry

Versions: #2
If I had known, how things would turn out
I'd give everything to have you here next to me
I lost my reputation, love was lost
I stand on the edge, I only have one wish
 
Hear my silent cry
You're my last lifeline
Hear my silent cry
Forgive my weakness
I always want more
 
If I still could go back in time
I'd change everything, keep you next to me
Money and power, endless greed
I stand on the edge, anxiety takes over my mind
 
Hear my silent cry
You're my last lifeline
Hear my silent cry
I'm a prisoner of childhood memories
Hear my silent cry
Forgive my weakness
I always want more
 

Sirpa

Versions: #3
Sirpa and I moved to the country.
We couldn't afford staying in the city.
This place was a real bargain,
The village road was completely quiet.
We got a fresh start.
 
We renovated the bathroom walls,
We cleaned the black dots off the tiles.
Sirpa found an Ellos1 catalog,
That kept her happy for a week.
The leaves withered, it was fall.
 
Where can we save another penny,
Can a dachshund survive in the wild?
In October, when the nights get colder.
Here we grow what we eat,
We spend the bottle deposit cash on gambling.
Everything was lost, but Sirpa still loves me.
 
Sirpa and I went looking for a job,
At the employment agency, they laughed at us.
This village has been without job openings,
Since the time before Mauno Koivisto was president.
Even the last dream went up in smoke.
 
At nights, I sobbed on the porch.
I prayed alone in a Russian squat pose2.
Sirpa took a shower weekly,
It gave her a rash.
The dots on the wall turned out to be mold.
 
Where can we save another penny,
Can a dachshund survive in the wild?
In October, when the nights get colder.
Here we grow what we eat,
We spend the bottle deposit cash on gambling.
Everything was lost, but Sirpa still loves me.
 
Timo and I grieved together,
The two of us watched the demolition of our cottage.
The Caterpillar3 levelled the cabin to the ground,
Our neighbor sold his Lada4 to us.
We got a fresh start.
 
We drove our car to Helsinki,
The smell of gas stuck to our clothes.
Someone yelled: 'goddamn hobo',
I don't care, I'm happy
Because Timppa fell in love with me.
 
Now we don't have to do more saving,
Once our minds are sufficiently messed up.
Sure enough, the state takes care of its own.
We often eat at the homeless shelter,
If we have money, we gamble it away.
Everything was lost, but I still love you.
 
Yes, I love you...
Maybe I love you...
I guess I love you....

When We Kissed at the Disco

Versions: #2
I saw you for the first time in a new light
It was the summer of our confirmation camp
You had visited a hairdresser in Salo1
You got a cool permanent nest2
I came on to you with coke bottle glasses3
There were no lasers4 back then
Chernobyl created a safety hazard5
But it was a wonderful time
 
When we fell in love, it was intense
We closed our eyes to the thrill of the time
Your little brother got a Commodore6
We listened to that thrumming every night
Gorbatchev7 visited Manu8
Finland was a door to the world for him.
Bon Jovi drove girls crazy when we kissed at the disco
 
The depression came and we fought about everything
Money can press down love
We used to thank mom for some crisp bread
When we had no money at all
In the end, my career cost me my family
You can't have everything in life
But the whole 80's you endured me
And it was a wonderful time
 
When we fell in love, it was intense
We closed our eyes to the thrill of the time
Your little brother got a Commodore
We listened to that thrumming every night
Gorbatchev visited Manu
Finland was a door to the world for him.
Bon Jovi drove girls crazy when we kissed at the disco
 
We saw each other again at the Lohja Beach Jam9
in 2008
Exactly 15 years had passed
I was still crazy about you
We had both grown up
Yet there was some magic in your eyes
The whole 80's you endured me
And it was a wonderful time
 
When we fell in love, it was intense
We closed our eyes to the thrill of the time
Your little brother got a Commodore
We listened to that thrumming every night

Cottage Road

Versions: #2
June of '86
Our Sierra1 was almost new
Dad filled up the car, mom packed a snack
I was already sitting in the back seat
Smiling from ear to ear with my seat belt fastened
Dingo was singing about a girl in a leather coat2
 
Grandpa told stories of the Continuation War3
About corporal Rokka4
I didn't understand anything back then
I just enjoyed my summer vacation
 
Dad please let me do the driving on the cottage road
I promise I'll carry water to the sauna
I remember the rocks and stumps on this gravel road
In my mind I was Henri Toivonen5
A rally idol of little boys
Dad laughed, mom was afraid to look
 
The summer was over and I was told
There won't be any more trips to Evitskog6
My parents divorced and the cottage was sold
Yesterday I went and drove the cottage road
It took less time than I remembered
The familiar routes had changed into black surfaces
 
Grandpa is no longer telling stories about the war
He's pushing up daisies at Honkanummi7
Now I understand the story better
And I appreciate what he has done
 
Dad please let me do the driving on the cottage road
I promise I'll carry water to the sauna
I remember the rocks and stumps on this gravel road
In my mind I was Henri Toivonen
A rally idol of little boys
Dad laughed, mom was afraid to look
