Moscow

Versions: #2
I've gotten a postcard from Moscow
Tall, red walls, a queue of Lilliputtian people
curls towards the mausoleum
 
Does anybody want to know anything about Moscow?
There people are poor and get swindled
The miserable citizens pick between bad [options]*
The one who is really wise or wicked
Can eventually go to another country
 
Is the metro dependable in Stockholm?
Is the strong steel tower still there in Paris?
Is there sausage without pork in Berlin?
Is Helsinki an hour forward or back?
 
Does anyone still remember the proud city
Who proudly stood to welcome all peoples
Order caviar and complain about the service
When leaving the restaurant, remember still to fear
Lie about your name on the way to Moscow
 
Is the metro dependable in Stockholm...
 

Who wants to?

When us men were in the sauna
Someone asked:
Who wants to bang Anna?
All hands rose
Anna stood in the doorway
Our hands were still up
The door to the fridge was left open
 
Immediately Anna was in on the plan
If we, for instance, played billiards
the balls never reached the sack
But the chess pieces sure did fall
 
Who wants to bang Anna?
 
Where is reason and morality?
I guess it's in the sauna
Everyone sits with bare butts
and laughter is frequent
 
Who wants to bang Anna?
I guess it's God
 

Beautiful And Proud

Versions: #2
The roads are mine
The dust that gathers
Is in my lungs
 
The houses are mine
The shadow that falls
Darkens my streets
 
The darkness is mine
The day that ends
Is too bright
 
Because you got everything you wanted
You became beautiful and proud
Because you got everything you wanted
You became beautiful and proud
 
The trees are mine
The branch that bends
Touches your hand
 
You are mine
The taste that sticks
Is on my lips
 
Because you got everything you wanted
You became beautiful and proud
Because you got everything you wanted
You became beautiful and proud
 
The scent of your skin is good
 
Because you got everything you wanted
You became beautiful and proud
Because you got everything you wanted
You became beautiful and proud
 

Ken Saro-Wiwa Is Dead

Versions: #2
'Judge, sir
I am a man of peace and beliefs
And I am angry
About the destruction
Of my people's land
The oil burns'
Only this he said once
Ken Saro-Wiwa
 
chorus:
Judge, sir
How dare he open his mouth, that man
He should leave immediately
For saying such things
The electric chair
Or a guillotine
After this he cannot live
Ken Saro-Wiwa
 
We are all gathered here to be judged by history
My colleagues and I are not the only ones accused
Shell is also here to be judged
And the crimes will be punished, as is deserved
The crimes that have been done, as is deserved
 
chorus
 
Ken Saro-Wiwa (4x)
 

Rubik's Cube

Versions: #2
I miss
I miss your passionate speeches
Words that pour on me
As a light rain
Those who
Who I walk with now
Are pleasant to be around
But they say so little
 
Chorus:
I miss it when you could solve
A Rubik's cube fast
The ice storm first came to the movies
Then as weather
It froze all the branches of the trees
 
I seem to
I seem to miss you
Telling me the plots of books
That I haven't read
Those who
Who I walk with now
Are infuriating
Because they remember so little
 
Chorus
 
Chorus
 
As ice it glazed
All the branches of the trees
 

Helsinki

Formerly it smelled like malt at the end of the Boulevard
I'm riding a bike from the Cholera Basin*
 
Nowadays there's a shipyard at the end of the Boulevard
Where they build big ships
They take them to cruises to the Caribbean
But I'm not going with them
 
The city has changed but
Not by much
We remember the colour
That was grayer
Back then there weren't
Any European clothing stores
Beer was only for diners
The whole place resembled the Soviet Union
 
Formerly tram line five ran through Mannerheimintie
Back then there was more lead in the air
 
Now there's a depot on Mannerheimintie
Where they store old tram cars
The new cars come from Italy
I'll go with them
 
The city has changed but
Not by much
We remember the colour
That was grayer
Back then there weren't
Any European clothing stores
Beer was only for diners
The whole place resembled the Soviet Union
 
Back then
There weren't any European clothing stores
Beer was only for diners
The whole place resembled the Soviet Union
 

Everything is here for a moment

Eveybody wants to fall in love
Live that time
When you fit side by side
On a narrow mattress
 
Everything wants to stop
Live on that time
When we in the morning
Start off feebly
 
The topic is
How many people
You've slept with
The topic is
How many lands
You've seen
 
In the evening we light the fires
And everything is here for a moment
In the evening we light the fires
And everything is here for a moment
 
Everybody wants to brisk up
Live on that day
When we start off in the morning
Early to the sea
 
The topic is
How many people
You've slept with
The topic is
How many lands
You've seen
 
In the evening we light the fires
And everything is here for a moment
In the evening we light the fires
And everything is here for a moment (x2)
