Too Close to See
Written by Riku Rousu
They say seeing is believing
but they don`t know what I have seen,
All the possible things in this world
exactly how they should have been,
Peace and love and happiness and a yellow submarine..
It was that when I realized, I saw it in my dreams
They say forgetting is forgiving
but if it`s tattood in your brain,
Dying little children
shouting their mama’s name,
There are many here among us
who think life is but a game,
well, they better choose their side soon
`cause we won`t ask again
They say seeing is believing
but they haven`t seen a thing,
Close their eyes right after first opening
and blindly trust their kings,
And seeing is recieving,yeah right,
they`re blind as bats
So accept the fact that by following trends
you won`t get to where it`s at
They say to give is to get
but when you`ve got just empty sack,
You`ve given all you had
and there`s nothing coming back,
You`ve been pushing it from 8 to 4
You`ll be pushing it for even more,
But please don`t push it too far or
(Don`t push it at all if there`s nothing to push it for..)
Seeing is believing, you just got wrong point of view,
By observing life itself they create eternity,
-I watch you from my own star and i see good starts,
quite a few, and figure out you`re just
too close to see
They say seeing is believing
Not knowing what I once saw:
A dozen little birches
chopping down a huge chainsaw,
“Revolution in nature”,
and i couldn`t believe my own eyes,
But I remembered what my mama told,
your eyes they tell no lies..
..And it was then, I guess,
when I reached up for a dime,
when the clouds made a circle
and threw me with a rhyme
And birds they started singing
this beautiful melody
And river made its floating harmonies
It was end of mellow me..
Seeing is believing, they just got wrong point of view,
By observing life itself they create eternity,
-I watch you from my own star and i see good starts,
quite a few, and figure out you`re just
too close to see
They say seeing is believing,
but they haven`t seen what`s mine,
Moon and stars and galaxies
all following my time,
And even the blackest hole of all time can bring me shine
when i got my love here next to me,
and they say that love can make you blind
Rock’n'Roll Caves (In’n'Out)
Written by Riku Rousu
I took the wheel while maniacs stayed at the back,
Sun blinded me so I raffled a summer track off
Radio put the stones on my gas-gas-gas!
We’re coming ’round like missionaries,
To drop you down ‘n pick you up like berries
“Mr. Pea, dig the strongest bones from our stash-stash-stash!”
Shadows of northen nightless night
Ain’t enough to hide our ideas so bright..
Oh, we’re gonna leave behind:
Fast cars, dribbling girls,
confused bars with some svines with pearls
..And there’s no pardoning me, sir!
Tresspassers in forbidden garden,
We’re here to set you free or pack you up like sardins,
Few waves for the slaves of rock’n'roll caves
The road you’re looking for is the road you’re gonna find
Straight out of your head ‘n out of your mind..
But oh, we’re gonna leave behind:
Fast cars, dribbleing girls,
confused bars with some svines with pearls
..And there’s no pardoning me, sir..
At least it would be unheard!
Shadow of Kim
Written by Riku Rousu
I want you to show some interest
And not just by saying “I’m sorry”,
I like to see you gettin’ drunk
But not as major of your story
You can crawl your ways thru wasted days
And lose your place, but
If you keep on wasting my time
I’ll be gone cause time is all I really got
And I know it’s all for good,
Well, I know you mean no harm
But I also know you’re losing hold
And sweetness of your charm
And eventhough the light on you is gettin rather dim
It casts a shadow over you, the shadow of Kim
And as you know, ruining own life ain’t even a sin
Still you must get rid of that shadow, the shadow of Kim
LAILAILAI- Get off there!
So now a year has passed, things they are all changed
Good ol’ lucky guy turns out to be depressed
Well, i can see the games you’re playing & they are all arranged
“It’s true love&I’ve got the ball” well,that is just what you said
‘Cause sometimes love’s a trap, ain’t saying you should not go within,
But sooner or later it drags you back under…. Shadow…
LAILAILAI- Get off there, or get under!!
And eventhough the light on you is gettin rather dim
I think you look much better under shadow of Kim
And running under thumb it was like cuttin off your wings
Guess I wish to see you back here under S.O.K
So get under!! C’mon, get under!!
Gotta get out of here
Written by Riku Rousu
All these mental age rastas with their continental pastas
Sit heads up like owners of paradise,
Like dribstone-hardrocks dreadlocks hanging out of hammocks
Man, they’re chilling with a chillum their size
From swedish cheese parayogi to japanese karaoke,
It’s all here side by side
Like an international crossroad where local fishingboats
are for us to get to the sea spread so wide
And me I’ve already had enough of this
Ain’t the kind of place I’m gonna miss
And when this guys from front and rear
Stick dirty needles in my ear
I knoo-o-o-ow I gotta get out of here!
With my thalifilled belly I am far enough from Delhi
And sure, it’s beautiful here, indeed,
Before you crawl into your bed, “Dolphins’ dance ‘gainst the sunset!”
And sand’s still burning under your feet
But soon as you get out of your hut there’s vendors driving you nuts
from jewels to coconuts it’s all for sale
And Indian Railways brings another paleface whose acts and look are like
one’s just got out of jail…
And me I’ve already had enough of this
Ai’nt the kind of place I’m gonna miss
And when this man of honour cheers
and breaks another bottle of fear
I knoo-o-o-ow I gotta get out of here!
I gotta get out!!
And me I’ve already had enough of this
Ain’t a kind of place I’m gonna miss
And when these people from far and near
Turn on an idiotic gear
I knoo-o-o-ow I gotta get out of here!!
No one else’s sin
Written by Riku Rousu
As we slammed our doors shut, me and my honey
I asked “you sure ’bout this?” She uttered “ya think you’re funny.”
We had no idea how we’d soon be running
‘Cause now we got our eyes on the target
With her fathers old Chevy we’ve been cruising around
About a year now, from town to town
And with my old toy pistol we’d been robbing down
Places like gas stations and markets
We were young couple ‘n just having some fun
Lack of excitement, I’d never even held a real gun
But my old friend, Beetle-Barry, He’d suddenly given me one
Asking me to hide it, ‘n she knew nothing about it
Well, there is one very reason not to tell her;
She needed to stay calm & she’d have panicked for sure
So on our way to the bank Papa’s words was all I heard
“Two sides in hot blooded women, don’t you dare doubt it..”
So as we rushed into bank and I pulled my piece out
It was, not counting my girl, a real mass freeze-out
But she just stared at me and was not about to peace out
And I snapped when she started insulting me with a shout
Hey, I was the man and should’ve been holding the ball
And after this kind of tricks I always lose my self-control
So as my eyes went black and walls they started to fall
I just shot down the closest one in the crowd
With my eyes hardly open I heard sniffin’n'cryin’
Everyone was at the floor so I didn’t see which one is dying
With blood all over me I grabbed my girl fast, no denying
She looked terrified and couldn’t even walk
At the very next moment we were running at the Chevy
I held her tight and, oh boy, she’d never felt that heavy
Jumped in the car and I knew she was angry as devil
What’s good, at the anger level where she never talks
So we hit the road and my mind still felt trippy’n'hazy
There was something missin’ and it felt like I could never replace it
Was it just killin someone & the fact that I cannot face it?
I shut my mind ‘n kept my eyes on the road
I said something nice, but she still wasn’t speaking
Turned of the radio but now there wasn’t even weeping
Realized it’s getting late, so she must be sleeping
And covered her with my bloody overcoat
So it was only few miles from the Mexican border
But in the mirror flashed lights and in my ears rang orders
Still I knew that if we tried we could make it there
But something inside me asked “should we stop?” and
I’d swear I heard her whispering “maybe…”
So I just hit the breaks & pulled that ol’crap aside
Held my head in my hands and a tear I cried
But it was just then I realized what was my inner fight
As I laid her head back and kissed my dead baby..
Here I’m sittin’ with the priest saying “rest in peace, my son”
Didn’t care to ask why I’m here, I knew what I’ve done
Well, there was whole family shot down by the same bloody gun
And it only had one’s fingerprints
But man really knows he deserves to die
When there’s no one left who to say goodbye
So as I frie by this lie, ain’t even asking why
‘Cause I ain’t dying for no one else’s sin, but mine.
Whisky & a water
Written by Riku Rousu
I see you’re the kinda gal who knows what man wants,
Can’t even count the differences to those local pub’s cunts
Who stands lookin’ cold with their tits frozen on the desk,
Not knowing when to shut up nor what to ask
You really look nice..the kinda I could take home..
Well,my wife might not like it but does she really need to know..?
‘Cause I’m a lovin’ man ‘n no one needs to get hurt
But there is one or two things I gotta get at first
Just two soft helping hands, ya know what I mean?
A stairway to heaven or at least out of this dirt
So turn around,honey, go back where you came from
But keep that smile on there’s no need to get lame
‘Cause all I want is..
A WHISKEY! AND A WATER! And I want’em in that order!
First whiskey, a strong one, kind of that hurts
Then water served cold with nice warm flirt!
Hey what’s with that face, you ain’t the same gal
And what’s with that gorilla, hope he ain’t your pal
And where are my drinks, I too got some rights
And I can walk by myself, there’s no need for guides
And what is this big number, was it something I said?
Don’t take it too personal, ya know we just met
And I already know this isn’t the way to your bed,
That’s one thing I certainly get
And hey monkey, I’m a lovin’ man with no need to get hurt
And there was only two things i asked from this bird,
So I’m sure we’d agree if we’d sit around this table
Fighting is not my thing but to talk I might be able,
So man to man, this gal’s hardly liable,no reason to beat me,
Anyway I didn’t ask like someone to feed me
I JUST GOT-TA-GET A WHISKEY!!
..and a water served on your small t-shirt.
Rock`n`Roll Parade
Written by Riku Rousu
“Ding Dong!” It`s the doorbell, bet it`s not for me,
But I go and open the balcondoor, just to see,
A wasted man asking me `bout Jesus Christ,
Told that he saw Him in his dream last night..
Said that he`s also looking for a cure for his cancer,
I said” I`m sorry, and not the right guy to answer,
But there`s secondhand-shop right there on the first floor,
They may sell you some used Jesus` wisdoms and get you bored..”
It`s time to celebrate,
Forget anger and hate,
So would you be my mate
In the rock`n`roll parade!?
For me they said, that I was losing control,
I answered, “I`m just a kid, it`s time to do the stroll..”
When they told `bout eternal life, I said “so?
My name is Peter Pan, never even gonna grow old..”
It`s time to celebrate,
Open your eyes and create
So let`s make a date
To the rock`n`roll parade!!
You’ve got a one way ticket to heaven and an angel by your side You think it’s partying 24/7 but boy you didn’t get it right
..They told me there`s no sex in our heaven.. They said that there will be no alcohol..
..They told me there`s no sex in our heaven.. They said that there will be no alcohol..
..They told me there`s no sex in our heaven.. They said that there will be no alcohol..
..But I know our lovin` god will bless us so much, that there will be lots of
HOLY ROCK`N`ROOOOOLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So if there`s holy water, I shall need no beer,
Sitting on the hand of father, got no reason to fear,
But if there`s no rock`n`roll music, when they ring my bell,
I think I`ll just stay alive, I rather go..
..I RATHER GO TO HELL!!!!
I Wanna Explode
Written by Pekka Tuomi
listen my friend you had it coming
that house is a mess and your running out of money
you used to be so fast furious and cold
now you getting old never had a chanse to explode
strange people where are you all

they forgot how to rock n´roll

you know you can´t loose you were born to win
shake them bones and forget about the brain
keep on going till you go insane
sell your shit and leave your job
quit being a monkey go lookin for a love
drive around land seil over the seas
but first you gotta groove in to that stolen back beat
do you wanna explode
I wanna explode
groove into rythm smell all the colours
your direction is up if you can rock away your proplems
drink your beer and go tell your friends
that the moses is there where the rocking begins

There`s a wood where no one dares to go,
In the wood theres a hill where foggy powers grow,
Just a small area,somewhere in Siperia..
Just a wood where no one dares to go..
..And from the deep underground,rise of an old wisdom..
Get Down! C`mon! -You`ve heard it all before!
Hell Yeah! Damn Right! -So do something before I get bored!
Light Up..Stuidings! -All I really hear is snore..
So kick some ass and score!!
Freddy went to wood,well, Freddy had a rebel soul,
Lookin` for some answers, something to fill his hole with,
There he was, lying still, saw the light upon the hill,
Yea,Freddy went to wood, Freddy from a broken home..
“..So now it`s time of punishment for you for being so lazy!”
Hw yells behind his beard&carries on, my name is..blub..blob..
Get Down! C`mon! -You`ve heard it all before!
Hell Yeah! Damn Right! -So do something before I get bored!
MANUS!!STUPRUM!! -All I really hear is snore..
So kick some ass and score!!

Break It Down Or Shake It Loose
Written by Pekka Tuomi
Life is too short to stand that bichin of yours
I said life is too short i can´t stay i gotta walk now
everybodys gotta choose to break it down or shake it loose
I need a good loving woman who loves me just the way I am
after the tour like beaten dog and always barking back
demons riding with me so do the angels when they can
I don´t need spoiled princess who don´t know what to do
I don´t need new mother all i need is real you
and some weed and beer and rocking n´ rolling thru the night
girl if you really love me why we always have to fight
everybodys gotta choose to break it down or shake it loose
give me your sweet loving show me all you can do
I´ll make you shout with couble of tricks of mine
that I learned in this whore house
I need your love love love
girl man needs love love love love love
now if I gotta choose
I think your best friend will do it pretty good
