WALTARI LYRICS

1. The Beginning Song

Island in the city, music in the air
Waiting for the feeling, and surprise: it's right there!

I dressed up in a cloth of lion
I wanted to avoid growing thin, so
That I couldn't blame myself not running faster

I took my courage, I felt so hungry
And hunger is a greed that makes you achieve
Something more than you are in now

[CHORUS I:]
I want my life, you'd better beware of my mind
But you are here and this is a hungry lion dance
I wanna hit and run and you'd better beware of my kind
'coz you're bit green and I know well what I've come here to take

I saw a big field
I saw the moonshine
I saw the black figures in horizon
Don't you be afraid of me babe
I'm faster than your fright

You shiny angel, wearing crystals
You will recognize the rebel without a pause
Still I'll wait, on the final scene before the edge

[CHORUS 2:]
I want your love, you'd better beware of my life
'coz you are near and this is a hungry lion dance
I wanna hit and run without an easy way
I'm hungry for you love and I really don't like to pass you

Island in the city, music in the air
Waiting for the feeling, and surprise: it's right there!

[CHORUS 3:]
I want your love you'd better beware of my mind
'coz you're so green and I know well where I'm aiming to
I wanna split and run without an easy way
But still you are here and I really don't like to slip you through

2. Mad Boy

Madboy is turning
Madboy is lost again
Big wheels are running
This road will never end

He doesn't feel like walking
He doesn't feel like talking
Membership to real life seems to fade away
He went into different ages
And turned the other pages
Trying to find the blade

Madboy is bumping
Madboy is drunk again
He doesn't feel like living
But still life has it's meaning
A season and it's end - a final grade for him

Oh, I'd like to feel the body, drying all the time
Oh, I'd like to dig out the dirt, hiding deep inside
Please, no more howling at the moon

[CHORUS:]
Oh I see them closing their eyes
Feels like living in a lie
Poisoning their minds (oh Lord?!)
Oh, I see him closing his eyes
Feels like sharp is getting blunt
And this cut isn't deep no more

Madboy is turning
Madboy is lost again
He's not trying
He's not your pride nor a friend

Once he was like a sharp sword
And now he's meted to the jar
Acting like an angry fish in a glassy slipping bowl
He thinks he can teach us
He thinks he can reach us
But membership to real life seems to fade away

[CHORUS:]
Oh I see them closing their eyes
Feels like living in the dark
Floating out of their minds (oh Lord?!)
Oh I see him closing his eyes
Feels like sharp is getting blunt
And his cut isn't deep no more

3. So Fine

The other side of time (is coming!)
Yes, I feel so fine
I feel real in my head
Oh, I feel so fine
We wanna feel so fine!
FINE!

The other side of time (how far is good!?)
Oh I feel so fine
I feel heat in my head
My feet are flying
We wanna feel so fine!

Yes, I feel so fine
I feel real in my head
Oh, I feel so fine
We wanna feel so fine!

Yes, I feel so fine
I feel space in my head
Move your body beat
We wanna feel so fine!
We wanna feel so fine!

4. A Forest

Come closer and see
See into the trees
Find a girl
When you can

Come closer and see
See into the dark
Just follow your eyes
Just follow your eyes

I hear her voice
Calling my name
The sound is deep
In the dark
I hear her voice
And start to run
Into the trees
Into the trees

Suddenly I stop
'Fore I know it's too late
I'm lost in a forest
All alone
The girl was never there
It's always the same
I'm running towards nothing
And again and again and again and again...

5. 4S

I'd like to get you,
But then I was busy and you
Didn't want to wait no more
I'd like to love you,
But you always came
In the wrong place love waits, no, never
You have to get it when it's here and now
Otherwise it slips away
And loneliness is the place where you must stay
My situation is so hard 'cause I'm full-booked
No time for feelings
I decided to stay on this road

[CHORUS I:]
I feel so empty
'coz I should be happy
But man is always searching
For something that's too hard (for me) to reach

Kiss me tenderly
You're the best song I've ever made
Don't slow me down
Be my symphony tonite!
It's all an illusion
It's all a lonely man's day
And a night dream
Don't want to be a loser (sophia loren?)
I have to find both ends of this path
Don't stop me now!

I start to dream
'cause I have a great need
I have to get you
Otherwise this song ain't long enough

[CHORUS 2:]
I feel so lonely
But I should be happy
and man's always searching ...
Wanna get you now, fast and hope it lasts!
Don't wanna live this life alone!

6. Celtic Funk

Here comes Good Ol'Satan
Watchout! Noise lunatics are in town
No chance to escape anywhere 'coz they're all the time around!
They kill your deepest dreams
Of possible peace and harmony
They penetrate in every mind, there's no way to rest in peace
They shake good vibes on everyone
They shake good vibes on everyone
Take care of yourself or otherwise you'll be bitten in the end
Lock yourself in your house
Hide yourself under a blanket
Try to think of something nice 'coz this disaster's spreading all over the place

UH-UH
UH-UH
HEY HEY
Hi you scared face, here's to you, it's big lush case

They kill your peace in every single town
They kill your peace in every single town
You can't be convincing anymore
They just laugh while pushing you to the real depression
Skins don't like it, politicians hate it
Music professionals lose their faith
Everybody's watching each other: is this the end of the world?

UH-UH...
Hi-ho music man, here's to you, it's an anti-band!

[CHORUS:]
Don't need your "mega-tips" for a frown
I just wanna fly above the ground

This is just a loss of space!
Mankind lose it's clean face!
People can't stand this any longer
Please let us stay in peace!
Noway! these stranges shout
'coz this is really what life's about
There's no use to turn around
It's real life all what's found

UH-UH...
Hi-ho silly man, here's to you, it's all in your head!

[CHORUS]

7. (Your) Nature Is Wild

(Your nature is wild.
I wanna see through you
Let's kiss the world....forget the depression!)

I surrender... I surrender... again...
I surrender... this land again, ooh
I surrender...

You are so beautiful I want to take it four...
I am so beautifu... I could whisper in your ear...

I am so beautiful my mind is waiting
You are so beautiful my mind is shaking again
I kiss this land!

(This so-called recession, doesn't realy depress anyone...)
Gotta get out, get out of this fever...
I kiss the land!

We want to be free again, so let us be free again!

8. To Give

Are you in now?
Are you in now babe?

Hello from nowhere
Hello you backwards
It seems to be realy cold out there
Better keep a long distance

Nice to meet you, funny guy, you look so sad, moving around and around
Clap your hands, clap your feet, make your way through blindfolded
Every night, every day, where your head goes it's the wrong way
Step ahead, step behind everywhere, all the same kind

Isolation seems to be what you deserve
You were trying, but now the beast is in your head

I see the Wall Street
I see high buildings
Too much to take, too little to give
Strange, you're still aiming to the couds (clouds?), anyway!

Isolation is the state we'll keep you in
Still we're worrying, worrying 'bout your head spinnin'
See me fying (flying?), I would have so much to give
But you're lazy, you just need more things for living

[CHORUS:]
Beat it, leave it, baby, beat it
Beat it, baby, life's not such a graveyard
Beat it, leave it, baby, beat it
Beat it, man, you are much more than you think
Beat it, leave it, baby, beat it
Beat it, bayby, life's not such a graveyard
Beat it, babe, that's not reailty
Beat it now 'coz you have much more to give

9. Piggy In The Middle

[The God Amighty:] "I curse this people to the deepset hole
I make them suffer and feel like absolutely nothing!"

C'mon baby, I wanna nasty ride
You know it's time to lose my pride
I wanna keep my feet on the ground
Don't wanna live for sight and sound

Don't you leave me alone tonite
I'm so shy and it makes me cry
Bastard, the whole life's a bastard
I live like a stone, I just am

[CHORUS:]
Living is so easy, nasty and little
Living piggy in the middle
Living is so easy, nasty and little
Living piggy in the middle
(everyday!)
Find me a place to stay
'coz I don't wanna fade away
Living piggy in the middle
(everyday!)

Hurry up there's no time to rest
'coz working makes you real man, the best
You will see when the day is done
You get cheers from everyone
I can't sing and I can't talk
I just need my own New York
You know it's that tragical history,
tragical history of living:

[CHORUS:]
Living is so easy, nasty and little
Living piggy in the middle
Living is so easy, nasty and little
Living piggy in the middle
(everyday!)
Find me a place to hide
'coz hiding is the best way to die
And me, working as slave, every day!

You see when I'm walking
I hear nobody talking
I live for my telly
And I work for my belly
I build the new houses that no-one
wants to use
I can't get rid of this 'cause
I wanna lose

[CHORUS:]
Living is so easy, nasty and little
Living piggy in the middle
Living is so easy, nasty and little
Living piggy in the middle
(everyday!)
Trying to find a place to stay
If I can't, I won't pray today
For me, it's living like a dog, every day!

(this is my life)
(this is my life)

10. Freddie Laker

11. Autumn

Towards an autumn
Towards, darkness
(Better) fight the power!
Like a New Years Eve
A new day has just begun
Keep yourself sharp, sharp as a knife!
Towards the sunset
Towards the distance
(Better) fight the power

Through the year
Spread a wider atmosphere
Shine your light on the autumn sky!
Be brave in the human race
Confront your feelings face to face!

Towards an autumn
Towards darkness
(Better) fight the power!
A start of a new circle
A new day has just begun
Keep yourself sharp, sharp as a knife...

12. Rhytm Is A cancer

[First verse:(wordsworth)]
Someday U say, U hate music
Someday U say, Y love it. Like on
guy i saw. He didn't stand this
noisy thing at all.
He just wanted to listen to
Whitney Houston all the time
And I said to him: Hey c'mon, U
lose your energy. Why
don't U wanna try something
different, instead of that
entertaining muzak, blow your ears
sometime. It helps U a lot. It
opens your mind, to a new
dimension. U'll find a new side in
U. And above all, your ears are
constantly receiving
noise anyway, all the time. U'll
never stay in silence, anyway. If U
want some noise, let's make real
one, and when U
want some silence, U can enjoy it
by listening to an empty cassette,
for starters. Music exits for totally
different
moods, and after all, it's all the same

[CHORUS:]
HC vispila!
HC vispila!
HC vispila!
Tahdomme LIHAA!

[Second verse:]
Once I started to talk to you, don't
wanna stop at all. Now I'm sitting
in a van, on the backseat, riding
this bullshit.
Coming back from the First
Official European Tour. There's
Stockholm, outside the window,
old buildigs, King's
Court, nice place! My head is on a
melody hill, but my feet are
constantly waiting to continue
further. Okay, that's it.
Next verse I'm gonna sing, is going
to be written somewhere else, in a
totally different mood, in a totally
different atmosphere.

[CHORUS]

[Third verse:]
A man with a .38 in his hand
what does he look a like? A man in
suit and a tight tie ora hippie-
looking junkie? Shock
the monkey, no, shot the monkey.
I feel I have to fill this page with a
nonsense-kind of fow, 'cause my
mind is so
fucking stupid. It can't give
anykinda sign of anykinda
creativeness. I'm just lying, like
cows on a field. Now I stop.
This is bullshit, no cowshit. Yes,
I'll turn into chorus. But please,
don't forget me...

[CHORUS]

13. Misty Man

It's a mystery, when I see your
pretty face around your burning lips
But when I think of myself, inside
I'm so shy
That I could cry having those
memories so far
The glorious nation of lovely party
girls won't let me go in my dreams

No one can hold me tight
When I fly throught the night

Ooh... misty man, misty man

I live with a girl who ain't good
enought to make love to foolish guys
And my "Paradise" doesn't wanna
hear me playing piano all the time
I have to try to have my baby back,
hope she makes me feel alright
(she makes me feel so fresh)

No-one can hold me tight
When I fly through the night

Ooh... misty man, misty man

I want to break free, I want to be
free and see the real color of your eyes

Ooh... misty man, misty man

14. Mysterious

(Every day, every day...)

I'd like to get out of this lunatic thought
But as long as it is there, I wanna get caught
I can't get any sleep
'cause I don't live a dream
Life is not a casualty
And that's just where I've been

Hitch-hiking away throught these mysterious days
I think we are the medal of the previous 2 billion years
It's a flight out of time
And I have only a dime
It's real hard to imagine
That there's no time at all

Now I'll take my final step to the unknown
Nothing can really stop me, 'cause I'm on my own
Only thing I would like to take with me is you
Yo, please come to me, take my advice.
And I'll show you...

(... the mysterious part of life!!)
