Weather Song 04:58
Like that day, the seventh of April I woke up really early and I saw the sunrise the red fur of the sun Watching it like a little kid who explores the world, I wanted it to be mine I went out of my house to reach out for the star Just me, there were no crowds I ran towards the red thing but my great excitement Made it hide behind the clouds And then it started to rain insane I remained waiting outside Although I think I’m becoming A meteorologist Still there are some things That I don’t understand I may ask you why your rays of light Trace and embrace The great ways of someone else But the thing I like the most are sunsets But the thing I like the most are sunsets But the thing I like the most are sunsets And I know that sometimes the weather doesn’t want to play our game I showed so many times how much I loved her But the clouds not by her will Made her show just in times when nobody looked up Tell me how you would feel On my slow walk back home I had no hope left Suddenly I saw the sun I thought that I’d stopped caring still lifted my head Then I knew you would be mine Suddenly I saw the sun And I knew you would be mine Although I think I’m becoming A meteorologist Still there are some things That I don’t understand I may ask you why your rays of light Trace and embrace The great ways of someone else And the thing I like the most are sunsets And the thing I like the most are sunsets And the thing I like the most are sunsets And I know that sometimes the weather doesn’t let us play our game But the thing I like the most are sunsets Suddenly I saw the sun But the thing I like the most are sunsets And I knew you would be mine But the thing I like the most are sunsets Suddenly I saw the sun But the thing I like the most are sunsets And I knew you would be mine And the thing I like the most are sunsets And the thing I like the most are sunsets And the thing I like the most are sunsets Weather is a thing that changes more than you would ever expect

Qu’est-ce qui se passe dans les rues de Prague Un devoir inattendu – une blague J’étais un peu confus – zig zag Avec mon parapluie, j’ai du swag J’ai commencé mon voyage le matin à 7 heures 51 Un vrai embouteillage – des voitures, des trams, des buses et une caravane J’ai pris le métro à Nádraží Holešovice De cet endroit je voyageais en tram 17, j’étais dedans jusqu’à Čechův Most Il y a des gens dans les rues qui ne savent pas regarder Il y a des gens dans les rues qui ne veulent pas s’arrêter Il y a des gens dans les rues, ils ne voient pas des choses diverses Il y a des gens dans les rues Et je fais partie d’eux Quand il pleut J’ai finalement compris pourquoi y avait beaucoup plus de femmes que d’hommes dans les rues et aux ponts Aux quais, à Náměstí Republiky et aux autres endroits aussi Il pleuvait vraiment beaucoup et j’ai vu quelques gens sans parapluie Toujours des hommes, on n’a pas de parapluie donc on peut pas se promener dans la pluie Il y a des gens dans les rues qui ne savent pas regarder Il y a des gens dans les rues qui ne veulent pas s’arrêter Il y a des gens dans les rues, ils ne voient pas des choses diverses Il y a des gens dans les rues Et je fais partie d’eux Quand il pleut J’ai vu un petit marché Avec des produits régionaux Je voulais en acheter un Mais je me suis retrouvé sans argent Il y a des gens dans les rues qui ne savent pas regarder Il y a des gens dans les rues qui ne veulent pas s’arrêter Il y a des gens dans les rues, ils ne voient pas des choses diverses Il y a des gens dans les rues Et je fais partie d’eux Quand il pleut Il y a des gens dans les rues qui ne savent pas regarder Il y a des gens dans les rues qui ne veulent pas s’arrêter Il y a des gens dans les rues, ils ne voient pas les choses diverses Il y a des gens dans les rues Et je fais partie d’eux Quand il …

Snooker 03:52
I’m sitting in a poorly lighted room Observing the movement Looking at the players I assume Where the balls are gonna be sent And as everyone’s getting older, we’ve got less time To enjoy That little tension between the two living creatures - a girl and a boy Even though people say I’m good at snooker I can’t play that game Cause every time I start to play it I remember your name Are you sure about your choice? No matter with who you’re gonna play I’m bad at billiards and I have no Rolls Royce But I wish you happy birthday I lied – Though I am not used to it, I did so more than once The topic was you but I can at least Write the truth ‘bout our little dance Admired you from the first moment I saw you Four years ago Wondering what to say and what to do I didn’t even say hello Even though people say I’m good at snooker I can’t play that game Cause every time I start to play it I remember your name Are you sure about your choice? No matter with who you’re gonna play I’m bad at billiards and I have no Rolls Royce But I wish you… Even though people say I’m good at snooker I can’t play that game Cause every time I start to play it I remember your name Are you sure about your choice? No matter with who you’re gonna play I’m bad at billiards and I have no Rolls Royce But I wish you…

Shiver 02:56
I love your smile What a look You are a pretty angel who’s putting me on the hook Takes you a while You greedy beast To provide your lips with the desired feast And when the car arrives, I have to laugh Enough is enough By intruding my private space You made a fool punch my calm face So I say hey, take me down, take me down to the river And we will play, it’s sure you, it’s sure you’ll get a shiver Get a shiver baby And I say And he says That you may That you may Continue Just do what you do Do it this way That’s what I say So I say hey, take me down, take me down to the river And we will play, it’s sure you, it’s sure you’ll get a shiver Get a shiver baby So I say hey, take me down, take me down to the river And we will play, it’s sure you, it’s sure you’ll get a shiver Get a shiver baby Get a shiver baby Get a shiver baby That’s what I say

Alright 03:02
I don’t want to judge you Cause faith can’t disappear Being a little too cheerful Since the day you weren’t here Hold me, touch me, tell me everything’s gonna be alright Cause I know your soul Hold me, touch me, tell me everything’s gonna be alright Cold ice, melting now, What had happened to you Hold me, touch me, tell me how I should behave when you’re around Cause you should try being you You’ve built a wall around you To protect the golden glow The bricks had their price, now you’re throwing a dice Don’t you count on Mexico Hold you, touch you, tell you everything’s gonna be alright Cause I know your soul Hold me, touch me, tell me everything’s gonna be alright Cold ice, melting now, What had happened to you Hold me, touch me, tell me how I should behave when you’re around Cause you should try being you The plastering on the sides is shining I may’ve got a little too close Through forming loopholes, a smell is spreading There’s rot, there’s mould around a growing rose The plastering on the sides is shining I may’ve got a little too close Let’s break those walls by kissing now There’s rot, there’s mould around the growing rose Hold me, touch me, tell me everything’s gonna be alright Cold ice, melting now, What had happened to you Hold me, touch me, tell me how I should behave when you’re around Cause you should try being you Cause you should try being you Cause you should try being you

Word Jail 04:05
Joe’s an intellectual But the effort of his brain is ineffectual Finding the way out of his cell Applying Maxwell With a rollercoaster He dug a hole but couldn’t find the poster Behind the wall, there’s no canal It’s not a movie, pal! And everybody in this room Is holding a silver spoon Chewing a chubby muffin But the prisoner of his own head Ate just a slice of bread That is what the guard feeds him By the time she locked the door Sent troops to Cuba’s shore As an act of her ice-cold war She became a word jail screw On Splitsville avenue And caged her darling’s brain’s residue Was it just physical?! He thought she really loved a little tickle Now when he notices her skirt She doesn’t say a word Screw the screw and look for A key you think she took from your drawer Do you see the time that you spent holding it in your hand? And everybody in this room Is holding a silver spoon Chewing a chubby muffin But the prisoner of his own head Ate just a slice of bread That is what the guard feeds him By the time she locked the door Sent troops to Cuba’s shore As an act of her ice-cold war She became a word jail screw On Splitsville avenue And caged her darling’s brain’s residue By the time she locked the door… By the time she locked the door Sent troops to Cuba’s shore As an act of her ice-cold war She became a word jail screw On Splitsville avenue And caged her darling’s brain’s residue By the time she locked the door Sent troops to Cuba’s shore As an act of her ice-cold war She became a word jail screw On Splitsville avenue And caged her darling’s brain’s residue
