newest hottest whatever
newest hottest whatever
keep your act together
newest hottest coolest whatever
it all goes round
so hard to keep track
who's in who's out
either you are new blood
or you're losing ground
the novelty wears out
and it all feels fine
until you hit the ground
it all goes round
but everything is new just once
and we are history
if we can't make it
newest hottest whatever
newest hottest whatever
no prize for good endeavour
newest hottest coolest whatever
it all goes round
so hard to keep track
who's in who's out
either you are new blood
or you're losing ground
the novelty wears out
and it all feels fine
until you hit the ground
it all goes round
until you fall out of style
and oblivion
comes round to take you
newest hottest whatever
newest hottest whatever
nothing lasts forever
newest hottest coolest whatever
it all goes round it all goes round
it all goes round it all goes round
it all goes round
so hard to keep track
who's in who's out
either you are new blood
or you're losing ground
the novelty wears out
and it all feels fine
it all goes round
newest hottest whatever
it all goes round
newest hottest whatever
it all goes round
newest hottest whatever
it all goes round
you want it you get it you have it you use it
you want it you get it you have it you use it
you want it you get it you have it you use it
and then you lose it you lose it you lose it

THE LONERS
hey, now they ride
like loners do
into the sunset
and all night through
but in the morning
they fall asleep
dreaming of the ones
they'll never meet
and they ride on
like loners do
out of the picture
and into the blue
but in the evening
they fall in love
when for an instant
they drop their guard
and nothing can make them feel so alone
not drifting away from the world
not keeping their heart locked so long
and not hearing somewhere
the saddest song
nothing can make them feel so alone
as when they fall in love
like loners do

Suddenness
05:01

can't freeze time that severs
tomorrow from yesterday
can't stay put forever
with everything in its place
can't build a life on sand
the hourglass is turned again
can't stick with a good hand
when playing cards with fate
if this is all there is
don't let it slip
if this is all there is
well, this is it
waiting by the motorway
nothing will ever be the same
the sirens are drawing near
we surrender to the suddenness
can't make a plan that's fail-safe
it could crumble just today
can't find a way to delay
the things that can't be escaped
can't speak a truth that says it
in an all-encompassing way
can't even wholly imagine
in how many ways all this could change
if this is all there is
don't let it slip
if this is all there is
well, this is it
waiting by the motorway
nothing will ever be the same
the sirens are drawing near
we surrender to the suddenness
if this is all there is
nothing will ever be the same
if this is all there is
we surrender to the sudden----
crying by the motorway
hold me, it will be OK
life can be so very frail
we are the debris by the motorway
if this is all there is
nothing will ever be the same
if this is all there is
we surrender to the suddenness
if this is all there is
we surrender to the suddenness
if this is all there is to it
we don't know shit

ELÄMÄN ISKELMÄ
kun synnyin soi radiossa laulu
ensihuutoni sen tahtiin parkaisin
tiesin: säkeistöstä alkaisin
kertosäettä jahtaisin
sävelten vetämänä liukuis elon vaunu
kun vartuin pyöri päässäni tuo laulu
kovan onnen polkua kulkiessain
siitä rytmin askeliini hain
kuu kavaljeerinain
kävi kaipuu kehyksiini niin kuin taulu
elämän iskelmä
soi kaiken keskellä
se joka osaa kuunnella
voi saada soimaan syömmeensä
elämän iskelmän
ja paljon enemmän
joskus elämä iskee silmää
joskus silmäkulmaan
kun häntä suutelin soi jossain taas se laulu
sen tahdissa myös häitä tanssittiin
vaan pian juutuin puteliin
nuotit kastui kyyneliin
sävelten kauneudesta kuoriutuikin kauhu
elämän iskelmä
soi kaiken keskellä
se joka osaa kuunnella
voi saada soimaan syömmeensä
elämän iskelmän
ja paljon enemmän
joskus elämä iskee silmää
joskus silmäkulmaan
ja laulu seuraa mua
liekehtivän viljapellon syliin
labyrinttiin kylmän graniitin
sävellaji vaihtelee ja tempo karkailee
neula lautasella on joskus kuin veitsi kurkulla
vielä kerran kuuluu tuttu laulu
nyt sitä viheltelee tuima niittomies
aikani täysi on kenties
kai irtoaa vihdoin ies
mut helvetti vai taivas -
kummassa soi laulu?
elämän iskelmä
soi kaiken keskellä
se joka osaa kuunnella
voi saada soimaan syömmeensä
elämän iskelmän
nyt vasta ymmärrän
joskus elämä iskee silmää
se on elämän iskelmä

BREAK THE NEWS GENTLY
oh baby, break the news gently
but don't break me
don't want to cry again in front of them
she asked me if I'd go with you (I said "cool")
he asked you if you'd go with me (you said "mmmm")
at that lunch break I almost swooned
but now it's come to this
oh baby, break the news gently
but don't break me
don't want to cry again in front of them
oh baby, break the news gently
don't ruin the night for me
I already know but I won't let it show
they were playing our favourite song (forever young)
and soda pop in my glass was warm (afri-cola)
round and round the school gym we walked
you didn't hold my hand
oh baby, break the news gently
but don't break me
don't want to cry again in front of them
baby, break the news gently
it lasted barely for half a day
and we didn't get to dance or even sway
but when I'll see you on these same hallways every day
please don't turn your face away in shame
now I know how Reddie Redford feels
in "Princess" by Bogart Co
oh baby, break the news gently
but don't break me
don't want to cry again in front of them
oh baby, break the news gently
don't ruin the night for me
I already know but I won't let it show
