Someday my baby, when I am a man, and others have taught me the best that they can they’ll sell me a suit they’ll cut off my hair and send me to work in tall buildings So it’s goodbye to the sunshine goodbye to the dew goodbye to the flowers and goodbye to you I’m off to the subway I must not be late I’m going to work in tall buildings When I’m retired My life is my own I made all the payments it’s time to go home and wonder what happened betwixt and between when I went to work in tall buildings So it’s goodbye to the sunshine goodbye to the dew goodbye to the flowers and goodbye to you I’m off to the subway I must not be late I’m going to work in tall buildings So it’s goodbye to the sunshine goodbye to the dew goodbye to the flowers and goodbye to you I’m off to the subway I must not be late I’m going to work in tall buildings

All alone in your bed All your love’s gone away Voices talking in your head You hear them whisper again For well I know that it ain’t so easy When she walked out left you feeling sleazy But love can run out over the top of the cup, you fall down but you got to get up All left out in your class In the schoolyard again And attt the corner playing games With your made up friends For well I know that it’s really hard To find somebody to get close to your heart But friends will come and friends will go Ffrom your life, it’s alright you just give it some time Game of Thrones, on HBO On a Monday morning Keeping busy without a job IRS keeps calling Well you know that it ain’t no lie That I’d choose freedom over work any time But eating pizza in shorts every day could get old, Ddon’t lose hope, you’ll find employment I’m sure Eleanor Rigby was buried alone Father McKenzie wipes the dirt off his hands I’m sure that she ain’t the only soul To be left out in the cold Why can’t those people who ain’t got anyone Just get together and talk sometime? I’m sure they’d have a lot to say, by the way, think I’d go to that meeting myself

Not goodbye or farewell But I’ll let this love move I might as well I can’t say I didn’t know That we would need to feed the space in between But it’s not easy to shed this skin and be brand new Lost some of me when I lost you But now I feel a pull No longer half of a whole And all that’s left is to laugh and cry in the same breath Living through a little death but what a lovely mess it is to fall So not goodbye or farewell But I’ll let this love move I might as well I can’t say I didn’t know That we would need to feed the space in between But it’s not easy to shed this skin and be brand new Lost some of me when I lost you But now I feel a pull No longer half of a whole And all that’s left is to laugh and cry in the same breath Living through a little death but what a lovely mess it is to fall And pick myself up again Oh I know I’m my only friend And sometimes the best thing for your soul Is a love of your own So goodbye and farewell I’ll let this love move I might as well

original lyrics: Nyt on turha itkeä Ei siitä enää oo hyötyä On sänky kylmä Ja maito lätäkkönä pöydällä Laitoin kaksi viestiä Ei ego riittänyt enempään Etten vaikuttaisi siltä että ilman sua en pärjää Voinko sanoa, etten pärjää? Anna anteeksi, Anna anteeksi oikeesti Kun sanon et voin muuttua Sitä tällä kertaa todella tarkoitan Anna anteeksi, Anna vielä kerran periksi Kun sanon että rakastan Sitä vielä entistä enemmän tarkoitan Nää sanat alkaa tuntua Rutiininomaisilta Kun ne kerran viikossa vähintään Kuulet multa Ja kun sä mulle raivoat Ei itke enää kumpikaan Turtua voi kai mihin vaan Paitsi ajatukseen elämästä ilman sua Onko elämää ilman sua? Anna anteeksi, Anna anteeksi oikeesti Kun sanon et voin muuttua Sitä tällä kertaa todella tarkoitan Anna anteeksi, Anna vielä kerran periksi Kun sanon että rakastan Sitä vielä entistä enemmän tarkoitan Anteekspyyntö -biisejä on varmaan tuhansii Niistä sulle laulaisin mä kaikki, Mut yötäpäivää rämpyttäisin kitaraani Ja herättäisin naapurit Anteekspyyntö -biisejä on varmaan tuhansii, Niistä sulle laulaisin mä kaikki, Mut mä toivon että sulle riittää vaan tää yksi Anna anteeksi, Anna anteeksi oikeesti Kun sanon et voin muuttua Sitä tällä kertaa todella tarkoitan Anna anteeksi, Anna vielä kerran periksi Kun sanon että rakastan Sitä vielä entistä enemmän tarkoitan Anna anteeksi English Lyrics: There’s no use crying now It won’t do any good anymore When the bed is cold And the milk lies spilled on the table I sent you two messages That’s all my ego could spare So it wouldn’t seem like I can’t cope without you Is it ok to say that I can’t cope? Forgive me, Forgive me, please When I say that I can change This time I truly mean it Forgive Me, Give in one more time, When I say that I love you I mean it now more than I ever have These words are starting to feel perfunctory When by the very least once a week You hear them from me And when you shout at me Neither of us cries anymore One might become numb to anything But to the thought of life without you Is there life without you? Forgive me, Forgive me, please When I say that I can change This time I truly mean it Forgive Me, Give in one more time When I say that I love you I mean it now more than I ever have There’s probably thousands of apology songs, I’d sing them all to you, But I’d be strumming my guitar day and night And wake up all the neighbours There’s probably thousands of apology songs, I’d sing them all to you But I hope that just this one will be enough for you Forgive me, Forgive me, please When I say that I can change This time I truly mean it Forgive Me, Give in one more time When I say that I love you I mean it now more than I ever have Forgive me

Yo! Read the future right on this beat Infidelix rep for these streets Trust when i say we got the same goals and we’re both getting old and we’re trying to eat I can barely sleep when I think about all the shit I’ve done Rocking the microphone travel the world with the lads for fun Smoking my spliffies and drinking my rum Life is so precious it plays out a plan embracing the world in the palm of my hand Screaming out that that I don’t give a damn Convincing my brain to say “Yes, I can” I mean yes I can, yes I can We are the ones that are conquering goals Pushing through bullshit, surviving that cold its called starting over removing the mold its Called renovating its called demonstrating It is so frustrating when you push so hard i am contemplating the time that I’m wasting and Now I’m debating on spitting these bars My mind is still fading I’m constantly waiting To finally take my free trip back to mars Life has now moved from buses to cars Developed my skills, I am finally in charge And I know one day that I’m gonna make it man I’m Megaman (Megaman) W(x4) I’ve been in the bottom I slept in the gutter We used to be close, well now there’s just each other No more one of us no more fun for us now the whole team we are moving apart Now all our dreams they are back to the start I Try my hardest not to go this way But now I know you’ve just left and chosen to dearly depart Wait what the fuck are you saying? Get your mind out of the slums, Bryan Quit fucking acting so dumb, Bryan When you see your problems you run, Bryan Quit telling yourself that everything you’re doing Doesn’t really matter cause it really does Get it together, you’re moving too slow Shit in the dark just release from the cuffs I’m not spoiled or stuff Trust me I worked hard for this Developed my business and I’ve put up with shit If I were to tell you that I was to quit Would you try to stop me Or would you let me go This is my life this is all I have left I’ve Caused lots of stress but I got no regrets my Problems are problems but I try my best So I just sit here and I tell myself Am I a normal dude or do I need some help? So I just sit here and I tell myself Am I a normal dude or do I need some help? And I know one day that I’m gonna make it man I’m Megaman (Megaman) (x4)

Original Lyrics (English Below): Mám v pronájmu starej byt, někdy z konce století kdo všechno moh tu asi žít Někdy se ptám, když kávu usrkám a hledím na garniže, jak ti druzí tisíckrát Můj kamarád, jednu teorii zvláštní má že ve svých minulých životech, jsem tu bydlel vždycky já No to se ví, to mě vždycky pobaví když se vracím nad ránem, že tenhle byt je tím pádem - má konečná – na na na ná na ná… Můj děd, v roce osmdesátpět, když mi byly asi tři vzal mě vlakem na výlet Dodnes to vím, jedna fotka vypráví jak mě drží tenhle pán, co ho už špatně vzpomínám Až jednou já, budu starý jako on vezmu vnuka na peron, a taky vyfotit nás dám To se ví, až mu bude jako mě tenhle byt si pronajme a stejná věc ho napadne... Nekonečná, na konci cest je konečná, nekonečná Nekonečná, je odpověď Je konečná, nekonečná Znám tajné chodby myšlenkách a když neslyšís na lehni taky smíš je prozkoumat Tam uslyšíš co staré fotky vypráví a že vyprávějí taky zdi a prázdná nádraží... Nekonečná, na konci cest je konečná, nekonečná Nekonečná, je odpověď je konečná, nekonečná English Lyrics: I rent an old apartment from around the turn of the century “who are all those that could have lived here?” I sometimes ask myself as I sip my coffee and look up at the curtain rod, just as a thousand others have before. My friend, he has a certain theory that in my past lives I’ve always lived here, which is something that never ceases to amuse me when I drag myself back home in the morning. I know this flat is where it ends. It is final. My grandfather, who was 85 when I was about three, took me on a train trip. From that time until today, I remember the story the photo tells, and how this man holds onto me, even though my memories are already starting to fade. When one day I’m as old as him I’ll take my grandson to the platform too, to have a photo taken of us. And when he’s as old as me he’ll rent this flat and things will feel the same to him. Endless, the end of the road is finite, infinite... Infinite is the answer is finite, infinite I know the secret hallways of my mind if you don’t lie you can also explore them I’ll let you take a look inside You’ll hear the tales of all ancient photographs and the walls will tell a story, too And deserted railway station Endless, the end of the road is finite, infinite... Infinite is the answer is finite, infinite

I can’t think clearly, there’s not such a thing. It is always blind in my brain, so spacious in different ways, didn’t want to let you get away, with all the love that gave us And I tried to make them understand that you, You, you owe us nothing, There’s this little something More than just for you X 3 But I escaped. That I can’t think clearly, And I make them hurt, They, they, they came on freely, And the pressure oh they learned. They don’t want to let you get away with all the love that gave you And I tried to make them understand You, you don’t owe us nothing,’ They, this little something wasn’t just for you, Just for you, just for you My heart screams on, you leave me, My mind expects you will, And here I stand above them, Just glad, glad you gave me so real.

Day on day in a birch crow sleeps Feeding on greenery enriched Long long long ropes, they go into the soil Her hat in color of high temperature, it boils In her hair are refractions into all little pieces She is the girl in the oil

És tard, no sé quina hora és Però és fosc fa estona És fàcil veure que no hi ets Ni un paper, ja poc importa Poso els peus a terra, vull caminar Necessito despertar en un dia radiant Encara em queda temps per descobrir Tot alló que m’he amagat i que no m’he volgut dir Corren, corren pels carrers, corren Paraules que no s’esborren, imatges que no se’n van I ploren, ploren pels carrers, ploren Com gotes d’aigua s’enyoren, aquells que ja no es veuran Difícil descobrir qui soc avuí Una gota em cau mentre un altre em treu la set Plou i fa sol alhora Tomba la bala bala Tomba la bala que m’apuntava, era la meva I jo mateix em disparava Raig de llum il·lumina’m, treu-me el fum Una revolució dins meu, la sedueixo i es transforma No s’esborren, en conformo en mirar-me Mirar-me de dins cap a fora On puc anar-te a buscar? Nena no és broma... Hauria d’haver estat diferent Però en un moment s’han tancat les portes Poso els peus a terra, vull caminar Necessito despertar en un dia radiant Encara em queda temps per descobrir Tot allò que t’he amagat i que no t’he volgut dir Corren, corren pels carrers, corren Paraules que no s’esborren, imatges que no se’n van I ploren, ploren pels carrers, ploren Com gotes d’aigua s’enyoren, aquells que ja no es veuran

Well we like to waste our time singing silly songs We like to hang around when the sun is gone We swing like monkeys, dance like baboons Stay out all night howlin’ at the moon We’re freaking out in this modern times Everything run fast and not worth a dime We got no money, we live in a swamp We find our consolation in the dirty stomp Always splitted between fear and desire Doing our thing walking on a wire We got the right to sing the blues Broken hearts and broken shoes We have so much fun, we act like clowns But everything is going down, down, down We’ve got no style, we live in a swamp We find our consolation in the dirty stomp Everybody dance with the cockroach dance And everybody sings with hangman’s hymn And everybody cries “it ain’t no sin” And everybody is stuck out of gasoline Everything is going to fall apart And everybody has a bleeding heart Oh me, I got no money, i do live in a swamp, i find my consolation in the dirty stomp.

Not goodbye or farewell But I’ll let this love move I might as well I can’t say I didn’t know That we would need to feed the space in between But it’s not easy to shed this skin and be brand new Lost some of me when I lost you But now I feel a pull No longer half of a whole And all that’s left is to laugh and cry in the same breath Living through a little death but what a lovely mess it is to fall So not goodbye or farewell But I’ll let this love move I might as well I can’t say I didn’t know That we would need to feed the space in between But it’s not easy to shed this skin and be brand new Lost some of me when I lost you But now I feel a pull No longer half of a whole And all that’s left is to laugh and cry in the same breath Living through a little death but what a lovely mess it is to fall And pick myself up again Oh I know I’m my only friend And sometimes the best thing for your soul Is a love of your own So goodbye and farewell I’ll let this love move I might as well

Georgia, Georgia The whole day through the whole day through Just an old sweet song Keeps Georgia on my mind Georgia on my mind I said Georgia, Georgia No peace I find Comes as sweet and clear As moonlight through the pines Other arms reach out to me Other eyes smile tenderly Still in peaceful dreams I see The road leads back to you I say Georgia, oh Georgia No peace I find Come as sweet as clear As moonlight through the pines Other arms reach out to me Other eyes smile tenderly Still in peaceful dreams I see The road leads back to you I said Georgia, Georgia No peace, no peace I find Comes as sweet and clear As moonlight through the pines - voclaization - I said just an old sweet song I said just an old sweet song I said just an old sweet song I said just an old sweet song Keeps Georgia on my mind Georgia, on my mind Georgia, on my mind Georgia, on my mind

Rainy Days Oh rainy days, Sometimes you come, sometimes you stay Sometimes I stay inside and look out of my window, watch you fall From the sky above. Sometimes I stay in bed all day long Hearing your song, your beautiful song Rainy days oh rainy days sometimes you come sometimes you stay Sometimes I’m feeling down and a bit blue You wash my pain away, with your magical rain Sometimes I go outside and play for a while nn the ponds of water Rainy days oh rainy days Sometimes you come, Sometimes you stay And if could keep you in jar, Yes I would keep you Close to my heart Rainy days, oh rainy days Sometimes you come Sometimes you stay Sometimes I stay inside and look out of my window Satch you fall, fall from the sky Sometimes i stay inside all day long just to hear your beautiful song Rainy days oh rainy days Sometimes you come and sometimes you stay Bxut that’s okay.

Reír por no llorar es la cuestión No podría yo encontrar alguna otra y solución Mira la gente siempre dice, la gente siempre hace Yo solo quiero ser feliz, comer perdices Y que me dejen en paz, no quiero formar parte de esta sociedad Quiero tener la vida privada, no quiero mas nada Tengo mi propia jugada, sí mi padre no me pudo dime quien me puede ¿Donde estas? ¿Me tiras una caja de manzanas? ¿Donde estas? ¿Me tiras una caja de manzanas? ¡Maldita sea, mírame! ¿Tengo pinta de zorra, de fulana, de guarra, de inocente que no se entera de nada? ¿No? ¿verdad que no? Pues no intenten joderme que la muchacha ya no te da guasa ¿que te parece? la vida me enseñó mas que una cosa El latino tira una moneda y aporto por cada escuela Lejos, muy lejos donde reímos todos los que había en aquella España de los 80 Loca, loca, Loca, te volviste loca y disparaste frente a mi Que te habías enamorado hace uso años sin decirme nada Entonces la emoción confirma el sentimiento Loca, loca, Loca, te volviste loca y disparaste frente a mi Que te habías enamorado hace unos años sin decirme nada Entonces la emoción confirma el sentimiento Que mala suerte en el amor y buena suerte en el juego Y si al final lo que hay que vivir, lo que hay que soñar Lo que hay que vivir, hay que vivirlo Te vuelvo a dar las gracias, te vuelvo a dar las gracias Me muero por saber que paso contigo En todos esos años en que no nos vimos Me muero por saber que paso en tu casa Necesito esa cara de vulgaridad en mi cama La que me dice que hacer, la que provoca morder No se, ay como y donde Yo Que mala suerte en el amor y buena suerte en el juego Y si al final lo que hay que vivir, lo que hay que soñar Lo que hay que vivir, hay que vivirlo Te vuelvo a dar las gracias, te vuelvo a dar las gracias

Original Lyrics: No me busques en el norte No me busques en el sur No me encuentras en la gran ciudad Yo pertenezco al viento y a su libertad Auuu-llarán las lobas esta noche Dispuestas a cazar la luna llena Es el baile de las bestias Y tu también bailarás No podrás escapar No me busques en el norte No me busques en el sur No me encuentras en la gran ciudad Yo pertenezco al viento y a su libertad Serpientes se deslizan por las mentes De aquellos que nos saben despertar Muerden pensamientos de rutina Y a ti también te morderán No podrás escapar Niños, maridos, las putas suicidas Sed bienvenidas al festín Todas las cadenas se acaban oxidando Ha llegado el momento de bailar No me busques en el norte No me busques en el sur No me encuentras en la gran ciudad Yo pertenezco al viento y a su libertad English lyrics: Don’t look for me in the north Don’t look for me in the south You don’t find me in the big city I belong to the wind and its freedom The wolves will howl tonight Willing to hunt the full moon It’s the dance of the beasts And you will dance too You can not scape Don’t look for me in the north Don’t look for me in the south You don’t find me in the big city I belong to the wind and its freedom Snakes glide through minds Of those who know how to wake us up They bite routine thoughts And they will bite you too You can not scape Children, husbands, suicide whores Be welcome to the feast All chains end up oxidizing The time has come to dance Don’t look for me in the north Don’t look for me in the south You don’t find me in the big city I belong to the wind and its freedom

One day when we hit the Street we met that old man that once told me oh young man life is made for living He wore rags instead of clothes no watch or shoes. He shook his head when we asked for the answer to all these questions we are asking. He said: There is so much more than glitter and gold we are burning stars towards the sun And if our time runs out would you be there to sing with me? Caus’ this life is made for living. We ve got pay check and fancy cars high speed lanes and bling bling rings we ve got a world on its knees but somewhere we got wrong. We be got the whole world on it’s knees million channel s and the Einstein blues million channel s to choose but just one life made for living. Whenever time comes rushing in I look at these stars and think life so short so make the best of the time been given. Be as young as a bird as old as a tree so I lived my life with tides by the see Oh young man these night s are made for dancing. Yeah life Is made for living You just get one time, so be sure of all these that are given, times be given. Yeah life Is made for living You just get one time, so Take your time. When I fell and hit the ground black energy hard on my heels I saw all these Lost Souls keep on searching. Don’t be the oil in the machine that numbs your head sing your song like they won’t expect. Be the change in the world you are wishing. He said: There is so much more than glitter and gold we are burning stars towards the sun And if our time runs out would you be there to sing with me? Caus’ this life is made for living. We ve got pay check and fancy cars high speed lanes and bling bling rings we ve got a world on its knees but somewhere we got wrong. We be got the whole world on it’s knees million channel s and the Einstein blues million channel s to choose but just one life made for living.

Zwei Schritte vorwärts und keinen zurück – Fußgänger Zonen Musik Das Leben ist ein Zirkus und es spielt verrückt – Fußgänger Zonen Musik Diese Welt ist voll mit Wundersamen Dingen Und manchmal kann ein Ton schon die Luft zum Glitzern bringen Komm zieh mit uns umher nur ein kleines Stück – mit Fußgänger Zonen Musik Komm lass den Ballast fallen. Konzentrier‘ dich auf das wesentliche. Zwischen Licht und Schatten malen wir dir eine Klangkulisse. Lern sie lieben, lass sie fliegen, steck sie hinters Ohr Und wenn du dich drehst, kommt ein Zauberer hervor. Lass die Karte mal sehen, könnte sein das sie magisch ist. Alles halb so wild solang der Tiger nicht den Reifen frisst. Und das mit dem Feuer hatten wir so oft geprobt. Also gib dem Affen Zucker nur dem Papagei kein Brot. Zwei Schritte vorwärts und keinen zurück – Fußgänger Zonen Musik Das Leben ist ein Zirkus und es spielt verrückt – Fußgänger Zonen Musik Diese Welt ist voll mit wundersamen Dingen. Und manchmal kann ein Ton schon die Luft zum Glitzern bringen. Komm zieh mit uns umher nur ein kleines Stück – mit Fußgänger Zonen Musik. Ihr sagt brotlose Kunst. Na gut dann sind wir Hungerkünstler. Jonglieren Wörter wie ein Fakir den Benzinkanister. Hochverehrtes Publikum, hier kommt das Petroleum, der nächste Trick erfordert circa 20 Jahre Studium. bitte bewahren Sie einen Sicherheitsabstand! Denken Sie dabei an die rohe Kraft des Elefants. Und streicheln sie das Lama niemals gegen den Strich. Selber schuld wenn es spuckt, denn das gefällt ihm nun mal nicht. Auch unser Tiger hier hat schon etliche gebissen. Und hinterrücks beim Hütchen-Spiel den Seiltänzer beschissen. Und wo wir schon beim Tanzen sind an diesem wundersamen Tag: Schwingt eure Hüften Dass der Tiger was zu fressen hat... Zwei Schritte vorwärts und keinen zurück – Fußgänger Zonen Musik Das Leben ist ein Zirkus und es spielt verrückt – Fußgänger Zonen Musik Diese Welt ist voll mit wundersamen Dingen. Und manchmal kann ein Ton schon die Luft zum Glitzern bringen. Komm zieh mit uns umher nur ein kleines Stück – mit Fußgänger Zonen Musik. Two steps forward but not a single one back. - Pedestrian zone music Life’s like a circus, if you dare to go mad - Pedestrian zone music This world is full of miraculous things Sometimes a single sound makes people dance and sing So get Yourself some candy and join us on the track for some - pedestrian zone music Get rid of all your dead freight Focus on the Major things in between the lights and shades there’s a little tune to sing Learn to love it, let it fly, till You wonder when and why if you turn a hundred times a sorcerer comes by Show him all your cards maybe there’s a magic one Never mind the Tigers tooth he jumps right trough the hoop. Our little game with fire is somewhat like rehearsed. You can feed the monkey with a carrot but please no bread for the perrot. Two steps forward but not a single one back - Pedestrian zone music Life’s like a circus, if you dare to go mad - Pedestrian zone music This world is full of miraculous things Sometimes a single sound makes people dance and sing. So get Yourself some candy and join us on the track for some - pedestrian zone music You say: “Art out of bread!” fair enough -So we’re starvation Artists Juggling words, like fire breathers handling gasoline cans Dear distinguished audience - please take care stay off the fence. The trick that You’re about to see, can easily burn your hands We urge You to respect the safety distance. Always be aware of the power of our Elephant. And Don’t You stroke the Lama right against the grain ‘cause it spits when upset. Apart from that, it’s tamed. Like our Tiger here, biting only once in a while, cheating the tightrope dancer at thimblerig, who was working here on trial. But anywho, lets get back to the dancing . Shake your hips to make the Tiger house-trained again. Two steps forward but not a single one back - Pedestrian zone music. Life’s like a circus, if you dare to go mad - Pedestrian zone music This world is full of miraculous things Sometimes a single sound makes people dance and sing So get Yourself some candy and join us on the track for some - pedestrian zone music

I wish I was a fisherman Tumblin’ to the seas Far away from dry land And it’s bitter memories Castin’ out my sweet line With abandonment and love No ceiling bearin’ down on me Just the starry sky above With light in my head With you in my arms I wish I was the brakeman On a hurtlin fevered train Heading for the heartland Like a cannon in the rain Coming off the sleepers Smell the burning coal Countin the towns flashin by And a night that’s full of soul With light in my head With you in my arms 2x With light in my head With light in my head You in my arms

For all this time you never asked about me, If I bare to live my life abroad. I loved you and it made me so unhappy, And here I am a wreckage on the road. I loved you but it made me so unhappy, And here I am a wreckage on the road. To foreign lands my sufferings have brought me, I feel as if I am sentenced to my fall. Ungrateful girl, you felt no pity for me, And I don’t think that this is fun at all. Ungrateful girl, you felt no pity for me, And I don’t think that this is fun at all. Ooh, ooh. They told me you were laughing when they saw you, You live in wealth and happiness they said, But there will always be curse upon you, The hurting of a man who has been betrayed, But there will always be a curse upon you, The hurtage of a man whose been betrayed.

People always say, home is where the heart is, Oh that sounds cliché, I would rather say, Home is where you park it, I wonder where we’re sleeping today? Many times we’ve heard there’s no place like home But nobody gets hurt by traveling the world, Home is where you park it, so we can be as free as a bird. We’re driving our home like a rolling stone, but we never feel alone. Home is where you park it, I wonder where we’re sleeping today? People always say, home is where the heart is, Oh that sounds cliché, I would rather say, Home is where you park it, I wonder where we’re sleeping today. Many times we’re heard there’s no place like home, But nobody gets hurt by traveling the world. Home is where you park it, so we can be as free as a bird. We’re driving our home like a rolling stone, but we never feel alone. Home is where you park it, I wonder where we’re sleeping today? I wonder where we’re sleeping today? I wonder where we’re sleeping today?

Much talk of violence and the people all look away in silence One dog has another on its feet Chase each other down the middle of a street And tomorrow is another day The dogs run on to the rhythm of the beat Hear the people say It’s a long night by cats’ eyes make you see it all a hundred times more clear Baby straighten up, don’t wipe your tears You’ve got a long way to go, my dear Straighten up, don’t wipe away your tears We’re all together and the people who do wrong should do better That counts for all of us To be strong like a rhinoceros And tomorrow is another play Stage of life, head up high Together we can say It’s a long night by cats’ eyes make you see it all a hundred times more clear Baby straighten up, don’t wipe your tears You’ve got a long way to go, my dear Straighten up, don’t wipe away your tears I’m not some kind of drone Remote controlled by my own phone A human being and I’m more than that I wake up happy one day and the next day feeling sad Some days I lose my mind and then I gotta make do with whatever else I can find Find ways to use my time to spread light in the darkness I will leave behind We’re all riding on camels in the sand Though this world is dry we’re hopeful that The next rise bring oasis to our eyes You gotta trust your fellow camel and your fellow man Stand up for those who can’t Be fierce and naked and dressed in compassion and Up ahead in the distance of all things See the birds and then you hear them sing It’s okay to be sad Just remember to be glad On the days that you can Stick that smile to your fellow man It’s okay to be sad Just remember to be glad On the days that you can Stick that smile to your fellow man It’s a long night by cats’ eyes make you see it all a hundred times more clear Baby straighten up, don’t wipe your tears You’ve got a long way to go, my dear Straighten up, don’t wipe away your tears You’ve got a long way to go my dear Straighten up, don’t wipe away your tears

Here are the lyrics Hey that baby takes a little bit too much role, She presents some ultra model, Your would like to hang out with her for a while, But you are too ashamed to pose that arrogantly. Beibe takes on the role, her nails are polished, and lips are painted, and high heels on her feet. Beibe takes on the role, drinks punch with a pill, knows how to enjoy life, but why we should judge her? Then comes a guy who has also high heels, broad shoulders and long curly hair, he looks good and self confident, and you really would like to pose with him for a while. Guy takes on the role… Jou I’m JPTH and I'm shouting from this van, and I myself have about thousand roles, so shut a fuck up, that I may not be like I want, I’m not the prisoner of the role, cause I prefer to be the king I take on the role, get my fantasies released, even with those nails painted, and high heels on, I take on the role, drink punch with a pill, can express myself, and be just what I want.

I’ve seen my entire life through my eyes And it’s been tough for me All these mistakes there are on me It makes me want to quit They always try to guess on your life But they never know how much you sacrifice If you only had a chance to redeem Then you would be happy again It’s my own path It’s my own fate sometimes just lonely But I got to take it I dream every damn night with a brighter day But I end up having nightmares The wind flows on my hair the wind flows on my heart And now I feel free :|| I feel free, I feel free Now I feel free right now But I feel free I feel free But I feel free

Original Lyrics: UNA CANCIÓN ALEGRE Con un lápiz siéntate, Una guitarra. Con un whiskicito, y échale mucho mucho mucho hielo. Con un pequeño piano y una cama. Con eso era feliz y ahora no puedo. Soledad, te la dedico a ti y a los cantores que hacen la poesía. A todo aquel que en alguna ocasión se haya sentido solo en esta vida. Yo que me reía de ver la soledad y en casa me reía de mis espejos. Y por vivir contigo en esos días incluso me plante en hacerme viejo. Y Soledad, te la dedico a ti, y a los cantores que hacen la poesía. A todo aquel que en alguna ocasión se haya sentido solo en esta vida. Y Soledad, te la dedico a ti, y a los cantores que hacen la poesía. A todo aquel que en alguna ocasión se haya sentido solo en esta vida. Y Soledad te la dedico a ti, a tu amistad y tu lejana compañía Y a tu amor.. Quizás, por eso ahora estoy aquí porque quiero reír como aquel día. Yo que me reía de la soledad Y esta ciudad cada invierno mas fría. Hoy bebo whiskey en la copa de anís donde brindamos por la felicidad. Y Soledad, te la dedico a ti, y a los cantores que hacen la poesía. A todo aquel que en alguna ocasión se haya sentido solo en esta vida. Y Soledad, te la dedico a ti, y a los cantores que hacen la poesía. A todo aquel que en alguna ocasión se haya sentido solo en esta vida. A todo aquel que en alguna ocasión se haya sentido solo en esta vida. A todo aquel que en alguna ocasión se haya sentido solo en esta vida. English Lyrics: Sit down, with a pencil, with a guitar With a whiskey with a lot, lot, lot of ice. With a small piano and a bed. I was happy with that but now I can´t. Loneliness, I dedicate this to you And to the singers who do poetry. To everyone who at some time in his life has felt alone. I used to laugh at the loneliness and at home I laughed at my mirrors. And for living with you in those days I even considered getting old. Loneliness, I dedicate this to you And to the singers who do poetry. To everyone who at some time in his life has felt alone. Loneliness, I dedicate this to you And to the singers who do poetry. To everyone who at some time in his life has felt alone. Loneliness, I dedicate this to you to your friendship and your distant company And to your love … Maybe, that’s why I’m here now because I want to laugh like that day. I used to laugh at the loneliness And this city every winter colder. Today, I drink whiskey in the glass of anise that one with which we toast for happiness. Loneliness, I dedicate this to you And to the singers who do poetry. To everyone who at some time in his life has felt alone. Loneliness, I dedicate this to you And to the singers who do poetry. To everyone who at some time in his life has felt alone. To everyone who at some time in his life has felt alone. To everyone who at some time in his life has felt alone.

Ήρθε ο Γιάννος από πέρα  με κουσαντιανή μαχαίρα,  γειά σου Γιάνναρε! Γιάννο μη με κάνεις τόσο,  σκότωσέ με να γλιτώσω, Κατινάκι μου. Γιάννο μη με κάνεις τόσο,  σκότωσέ με να γλιτώσω, Κατινάκι μου. Θέλεις να με παντρευτείς,  μα εγώ είμαι ένας μπεκρής,  Κατινάκι μου. Yiannos came from beyond  with a blade from Kuşadası,  bless you Yiannare! Yianno, don’t belittle me,  spare me by killing me,  my little Katina. I can’t forget you when I recall your kisses,  my little Katina. You want to marry me, but I’m a drunkard, my little Katina.

Hi!
I'm Marten, a young sound engineer with a rolling recording studio.
I wanted to bring the European Continent a little closer together just with an old rusty van and a bunch of microphones. The ideas was to find the best street musicians from all around Europe, record their music, and share their stories with the world. 2 years and 25 countries later it is finally done. ... more
