I once had a girl
Or should I say she once had me
She showed me her room
Isn’t it good Norwegian wood?
Finland is the country where we dance
Finland is the country where we play
Here in Finland boy and girl can find a true romance
In traditional Scandinavian vay!
Finland , Finland , Finland
The country where I want to be
Pony trekking or camping or just watch T.V.
Finland , Finland , Finland
It’s the country for me
You’re so near to Russia
So far away from Japan
Quite a long way from Cairo
Lots of miles from Vietnam
Finland , Finland , Finland
The country where I want to be
Eating breakfast or dinner
Or snack lunch in the hall
Finland , Finland , Finland
Finland has it all
You got a heart of glass or a heart of stone
Just you wait till I get you home
We’ve got no future
We’ve got no past
Here today built to last
In every city and every nation
From Lake Geneva to the Finland station
(How far have you been)
In a West end town a dead end world
The East end boys and West end girls
In a West end town in a dead end world
The East end boys and West end girls
West end girls
East Side, West Side, all around the town
The kids sang “ring around rosie”, “London Bridge is falling down”
Boys and girls together, me and Mamie O’Rourke
We tripped the light fantastic on the sidewalks of New York
I don’t mind other guys dancing with my girl
That’s fine, I know them all pretty well
But I know sometimes I must get out in the light
Better leave her behind with the kids, they’re alright
The kids are alright
I wanna see you dance again,
On this harvest moon…
Dance with me, I want to be your partner
Can’t you see the music is just starting?
Night is falling, and I am falling
Dance with me
Let it lift you off the ground
Starry eyes, and love is all around us
I can take you if you want to go
On that starry, starry night,
You took your life as lovers often do,
I could’ve told you Vincent,
This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you…
Nobody gonna take my car
I’m gonna race it to the ground
Nobody gonna beat my car
It’s gonna break the speed of sound
Oooh it’s a killing machine
It’s got everything
Like a driving power big fat tires
And everything
I love it and I need it
I bleed it
Yeah it’s a wild hurricane
Alright hold on tight
I’m a highway star
Now look who’s coming, yeah look who’s back
Quick, drop the bombshell straight to the track
A 21st century killing machine
Burnt on the inside, a five minute team
Cat’s foot, iron claw
Neuro-surgeons scream for more
At paranoia’s poison door
Twenty-first century schizoid man
Blood rack, barbed wire
Politician’s funeral pyre
Innocents raped with napalm fire
Twenty-first century schizoid man
I can remember when this was the future
Where it was gonna be at back then
Why don’t we turn the whole bloody lot down
And make a new start all over again?
Start spreading the news
I’m leaving today
I want to be a part of it, New York, New York
These vagabond shoes
Are longing to stray
And make a brand new start of it
New York, New York
New York, New York, it’s a helluva town
The Bronx is up, but the Battery’s down
The people ride in a hole in the ground
New York, New York, it’s a helluva town!
You grew up ridin’ the subways, running with people,
Up in Harlem, down on Broadway,
You’re no tramp, but you’re no lady, talkin’ that street talk–
You’re the heart and soul of New York City…
Hates California,
It’s so cold and damp,
That’s why the Lady is a,
That’s why the Lady is a,
That’s why the Lady is a Tramp…
California’s on my mind,
Surf and sand setting in the sun.
California’s on my mind,
One day you’re gonna be
A place in our memory.
When I woke up this morning
You were on my mind
And you were on my mind
I got troubles, whoa-oh
I got worries, whoa-oh
I got wounds to bind
So I went to the corner
Just to ease my pains
Yeah, just to ease my pains
I got troubles, whoa-oh
I got worries, whoa-oh
I came home again
Well, I woke up this morning
Stumbled outta my rack
I opened up the paper to the page in the back
It only took a minute for my finger to find
My daily dose of destiny, under my sign
My eyes just about popped out of my head
It said “The stars are stacked against you, girl, Get back in bed”
