Song of the crazy one

Some want money
Some want power
I don't want anything else except that
My dingdong clock
My dingdong clock
Sounds like
Pimpelipom
Pimpelipom
 
Some want to play
And some get lucky
I don't want anything else except that
My dingdong clock
My dingdong clock
Sounds like
Pimpelipom
Pimpelipom
 
They're trying to take
My own
They're trying to take away
My dingdong clock
My dingdong clock
So I couldn't play it
Pimpelipom
Pimpelipom
 
They're trying to take
But that's probably not possible
I'm gonna buy a bulldog
To safeguard my clock yeah
To safeguard my clock yeah
So I can play
Pimpelipom
Pimpelipom
 
Some want a pony
That you can ride
I don't want anything else except that
My dingdong clock
My dingdong clock
Sounds like
Pimpelipom
Pimpelipom
 

A Man Lost

Versions: #1
I'm a mystical silvery disco man
I'm a lizard man licking my lips
I'm New England man clad in leather
to be reborn from joy over and over again
 
Before you knew me as Marc
but that boy is no more
You ripped a page of your lane of memories
I'm out of your mind entirely
 
I'm a man far gone
now history
A man lost
now history
 
Sugary beets don't interest me
I'm dropping out of school with the leaves of fall
I haven't hunted for ages
I don't wanna take to arms
 
I've got a synthesizer, a guitar and an amplifier
Upon my lace curtains, well I've rosy pattern
I've got the world of past lingering in my lodgings
Yet I've got a brilliant future ahead
 
I'm a man far gone
now history
A man lost
now history
 
My dad used to carve figurines out of wood
I found a wooden woman from the field
I even found a spearhead and gone and lost it
Now I carve my own men on vinyl records
 
And when you turn the radio on
you hear something strangely familiar, a sound with eerie beauty
thing you thought, you once knew
thing you thought, you were able to forget
 
I'm a man far gone
now history
A man lost
now history
 
I'm a mystical silvery disco man
I'm a lizard man licking my lips
I'm New England man clad in leather
to be reborn from joy over and over again
 

All is as it were

All is as it were
 
It was quite a hot summer
Now it's getting cooler
There will be tons of apples
Soon we'll have juice again
All is as it were
 
I guess the ponds have stayed in place
I should probably go check
An old spinning rod
I cleaned it this morning
All is as it were
 
He's playing with his tractors
He'll always like them
I make my songs
The rhymes fall in place
All is as it were
 
In the Spring we'll go
And tour Finland
Maybe we'll go to Turku
And down some booze
All is as it were
 
I like it just like this
To call my friend
San Fransisco 69
Suddenly I see it all
All is as it were
 
The clouds are like ships
They wait in the horizon
Once it will take me home
This bumpy road
All is as it were
 
The wine glass grows empty
Though I ask you not to go
Well, let's buy another glass
And raise you a toast
All is as it were
 
Well, let's buy another glass
And raise you a toast
All is as it were
 

Dark Blue Companion

That girl didn't show up
There's no use for us to wait anymore
 
The night is dark blue
A dark blue companion
We are two wanderers
A dark blue companion
 
For vain I believed in dreams
In fairy tale castles, in popular songs
 
The night is dark blue
A dark blue companion
We are two wanderers
A dark blue companion
 
I spent my money on new bucket seats
I spent my money on Compomotive hoops
 
Sorrow is fleeting
Asphalt is gleaming
We are two wanderers
A dark blue companion
 
A moment under the stars
In the ringing of stratospheres
 
The night is dark blue
A dark blue companion
We are two wanderers
A dark blue companion
 
Wheels sing their song
Go, go, just go
Time ceases to exist, disappears
My heart finds peace
 
A dark blue companion
A dark blue companion
 

Hello, Sirkka Lautamies

Hello, Sirkka Lautamies
I'm looking at your flowers
In June '25
From a meadow in Pyterlahti
You took bluebells
 
You took a maiden pink
A clover and a mugwort
From dewy grass
In a grove by the river
You took irises
 
Hello, Sirkka Lautamies
I'm looking at your flowers
On the pages of an old herbarium
 
Hello, Sirkka Lautamies
I'm looking at you wander
Did you pass by the quarry
Where they once mined
Granite to St. Petersburg
 
Pillars to Saint Isaac's Church
Embankments for canals
Floor tiles to palaces
Hello, Sirkka Lautamies
I'm looking at your flowers
You took bluebells
 
Something grand and lasting
What's left behind us
Granite to St. Petersburg
Hello, Sirkka Lautamies
I'm looking at your flowers
On the pages of an old herbarium
 

Roach droppings

What are these black things, granny?
What is floating in my milk?
What are these black things, granny?
What is floating in my milk?
 
Drink it up, drink, just drink it
They're just roach droppings
Drink it up, drink, just drink it
They're just roach droppings
 
I'm a mad lad
I doubt I even feel love
I'm a mad lad
I doubt I even feel love
 
And I bout I'll stay
In this little cottage
And I doubt I'll stay
In this little cottage
 
I'm a mad lad
And the highway's my home
I'm a mad lad
And the highway's my home
 
And the song I sing
Is as red as the sunset
And the song I sing
Is as red as the sunset
 
refrain
 
Don't you cry little girl, don't
At least don't cry for long
Don't you cry little girl, don't
At least don't cry for long
 
If you cry for a tenner
You'll die for a hundred
If you cry for a tenner
You'll die for a hundred
 

Come, summer night

Come to me
Dressed in your delicate gossamer
Unnoticed, little by little
Come, summer night
 
Come to me
Across the courtyard
As the scent of white flowers
Come, summer night
 
Come to me
As strange songs
As songs sung by black birds
Come, summer night
 
Come to me
Rattle the window
Come as the spirit of the breeze
Come, summer night
 

My mermaid and me

I was walking on the beach lost in my thoughts
When she stood in front of me
A wonderlously beautiful woman said:
'I'm your mermaid'
 
And she took me with her to the water*
I hoped Ahti wouldn't be home
'Hey, don't be afraid, Ahti isn't here', she said
'He's somewhere far away fishing'
 
Ooh la la la... open water... waves rock the boat...
Ta ta taa... ta ta ta... la la la... below the surface...
We had more fun
My mermaid and me
 
She gave me some elixir
And I was able to breath in the water
And she dove down and took my hand
I gasped for air in wonderment
You never get to see such a beautiful view on dry land
'Still, beware of the fishing hooks', she said
'They are pretty bad sometimes'
 
Ooh la la la... open water... waves rock the boat...
Ta ta taa... ta ta ta... la la la... below the surface...
We had more fun
My mermaid and me
 
At the same time a commotion had started above the surface
Has a famous rock star drowned?
Only an old wrist watch was found on the beach
And clothes that had belonged to him
Karjalainen couldn't stay on the surface
I can already see the headline
He must've suffered Kristian's faith
To speed up his record sales, that is
His career is at its lowest point
Staged his death by drowning
 
Ooh la la la... open water... waves rock the boat...
Ta ta taa... ta ta ta... la la la... below the surface...
We had more fun
...
 

Ő

(Ő) hitet adott nekem,
És reményt (adott nekem),
És annyi mást
 
Megnevettetett,
És dalra fakasztott
És adott egy dallamot
 
A tündér keresztanya ő,
Az éjkirálynő,
Már csak egy sláger címe
 
Most, ahogy a nyár őszbe fordul, látom, ahogy a levelek lehullnak,
Ugyanezt a kint érzem,
Ha ő távol jár
 
Megnevettetett,
És dalra fakasztott
És adott egy dallamot
 
Ő, újra, hangolom a gitárom, újra,
És hallom újra az ismerős csilingelést
Mintha velem volna

One at the time

Ruffles, studded belts
Bright summer nights
To smoke light cigarettes
To drink Apsi at the kiosk
To pluck daisy leaves
one at the time
 
Ooh baby, she loves
One at the time
Ooh baby, she loves
One at the time
Ooh baby, she loves
 
Jump aboard into Jarkko's Java
To wave when leaving
Looks how I wither
In front of her
As fallen into the Giant's kettle
In my pocket, bottle caps which entitle to a cooling bag
Yeah, she loves
 
Dogs and horses
Robots of the dawning
The bridge across the double water
Molasses from a barrel
Plucks daisy leaves
one at the time
 
Ooh baby, she loves
One at the time
Ooh baby, she loves
One at the time
Ooh baby, she loves
 
Spans through the classroom
To be in other worlds
Without feeling the sorrows
of young Werther
To blow bubble gum
To glance me side-eyed
Then, just on passing,
Touches me
 
She loves
She loves
 
Stays awake alone in his chamber
To write his verses
To listen like a blackbird
To sing his song
To organize bottle caps
To think about the girl who
Loves everything in the world but him
 
Ruffles, studded belts
Bright summer nights
To smoke light cigarettes
To drink Apsi at the kiosk
Dogs and horses
Robots of the dawn
The bridge over the troubled water
Molasses from a barrel
To pluck daisy leaves
one at the time
 
Oh baby, she loves
One at the time
Oh baby, she loves
One at the time
Oh baby, she loves
One at the time
 

Amber room

Babe we are perfect, perfect bugs
Blink of eternity saved in a piece of amber
I'm happy with you babe
 
Empress Cathrine in golden window
Light is playing on your face, light of ancient suns
I'm happy with you babe
 
Distant light
Billion, million years I'll be happy
 
Things to come, things gone, who worries about them?
In our amber room we're going to be eternals, babe
I'm happy with you babe
Thousand times thousand years
In the cradle of dreams
Waves are pushing us
towards a distant shore
I'm happy with you babe
 
Distant light
Billion, million years I'll be happy
Blink of an eye
Billion, million years I'll be happy
 
Once some big eye peaked inside the windows
Perfect bugs in a piece of amber
I'm happy with you Babe
 
Distant light
Billion, million years I'll be happy
Blink of an eye
Billion, million years I'll be happy
 
Distant light
Billion, million years I'll be happy
Blink of an eye
Billion, million years I'll be happy
 
Distant light
Billion, million years I'll be happy
