my way 04:38
lyrics
My way There were so many varied pathways It was so hard to choose my own But I have find it later one day Where there are many things unknown I'm going down this road for long time, Where there are bumps and holes around Not all went their way as they wanted Some of my friends are in the ground I felt a lift at the beginning And start to run with all my might When I have seen my speedy winning The fool insect flew to the light But something happened with my breathing And forces leaft me in a trice My consciousness is lost, I'm leaving All of that feelings was suffice When i came to senses later Understanding came to me Walking slowly is much better It gives me a chance to see I can see details and trifles, Listening to every sound, Past the plains and past the highlands, Looking at the world around I am happy with what I have It was unexpected find Life became simpler and lighter It's much better for my mind So variety of landscapes Settles down my tired look Stormy parties, wine and ladies Is turned page in my life's book Hearing sound of trees and river, Walking barefoot in a dew, I feel something like a shiver From bewitching nature's view I can move my body freely And my head is fully fine While my breath unhindered really Sight and ear are a good sign Sense of smell is perfect nearly My road is lit by sunshine So agree, it's not a little Isn't that a great reward Seeing as the world is brittle So I'm my own bloody lord

two on patrol 05:32
lyrics
Two on patrol Sunset in pink colour , placid clear blue sky One and one another look at where birds fly They are there forever watching far away, their eyes are glad never now and any day There's broken desert land They must safe it and stand The red sun sets beyond the skyline, Heralds the day's end All things will sleep around But they hear every sound Long months and years pass very slowly It's without bound The gusty wind carries sand and dust away. Two colleagues in prairie. Service every day Whether cold in winter, Or dire summer heat, Everyone is dreamer About peacetime treats Butterfly has flown in and sits on a gun Let it sit, not going It's good in the sun Don't disturb that minute Hope is always stays As if paying a visit to old peaceful day

henpecked 04:03
lyrics
Henpecked Women are a danger It so needs to know Such message needs painted for all men and show They search simple minded, lull their vigilance, So after they find them Those men have no chance One man has experienced arsenal of tricks, egо's disappearenced, and he cannot fix Women's tricks are various But result is one: once man was hilarious, but where are you, fun? You moan under her heel, so her job is done He needs her permission for all things he does Degrading position not good diagnos His resentment was long And he didn't show But one day he got strong So he let her know It was a strong protest so he said her how someone waits for hottest exuses right now But her gaze was so stern As hard destiny Shaking, he got sodden And got down on knee After that he whispered softly : "excuse me" Actually their content's not good as they seem so all that you wanted will go on wrong scheme if you're not a stone, then the end of your dream Let us swear, my brothers to be strong like a stone Guys let us tell others We are those that we belong

opium for the people 03:24
lyrics
Opium for the people Someone's bored of earthly things so They need paradise and hell, priest's and wizard's cloudy sweet song Then they feel themselve so well Someone runs in church to pastor, asking something from the god Someone tries prevent disaster with a help from cards or codes They don't want to know, conversely, faith is what they need so much so they knock to wood and mostly holly things are what church touch Man's room is in icons fully He renounce the worldly life And believes in he hears surely without proof, not asking why One another looks not healthy beats in drum,dressing the beads, promises to do you wealthy, saying spell, to win disease If you pay him more, you will know which foot to get out of bed And what colour should be pillow Useful clue for empty head They have holly fire and water Or what does religion mean And, of course, it's sons and daughters Think, that those things, are really clean Church can consecrate your house Or garage, your birth or death When you want to be a spouse Any caprice just say address Another man discourses in the next style He very wants to get the most grand prize He think that when he kills several gentiles Then he secures his place in paradise Аnother man tortured himself with diets He doesn't care about material world In truth, he cannot write and read entire But if you're hallow all things are controlled All we see is calls to heaven High spiritual research But the end result was planned on asking donate for the church

rain 03:48
lyrics
Rain It's a rain again This is nature's plan Water flows as if from broken faucet Water flows and flows Heavy cloud don't shows clear sun, how long time will they close it? Accepting everything, I'm sad what wheather brings However this rain could be a little shorter So wet but what to do? This makes you sad, me too We're looking at the endless falling water Drops fall from the sky But can we decry sudden whims of those who live in heaven Something borns and grows Life is endless flows like a river Thames or river Devon But something's not ok with someone there today Much water everywhere like it's forever it's probably bad days Well, pain may come upstairs If someone's crying bitterly in heaven

uncomfortable questions 05:20
lyrics
Uncomfortable questions People always look at me unkindly, trying to bypass me other road, saying something not so good behind me They don't like about me, I know what i am not a harm , I'm just an asking I don't argue and I do not judge And the main of it is not unmasking Why someone of them feels a big grudge My question like a pinyon I ask him, tell me, please So what is your opinion I ask him and release It's not an affirmation, It's not affront at all, it's not moot situation, But it's question for his soul No answer, I don't need it, but he needs it more To miff or baffle is not my intentions But if he flares up or if he stay in numb I'm sorry, I don't have any more questions Many people change their mind between times Doubt is a good reason to reflect There is always something to lean decline There are many answers, what's correct? Clever people do not assure never, or if people do it, they think well Otherwise they wouldn't be so clever Just right question, that is what they tell ‌ But if he will insult me, it is trifle I listen speech, that may not be so small He doesn't see his flaw, because not eyeful and he don't want to ask himself at all In clear truth, I've never been a hero, but i can't listen threats such a long time from someone who does not look in the mirror And I can be not as peaceful as I'm When I was asked about something as a child And someone wanted quick and honest answer I could not tell them lie My asking was reply I could confuse them so they had no chances

the idol 05:39
lyrics
The idol There were a lot of them from older legends We don't know how many. Since that time someone's lovely idols go to heaven When it happens ,then some people cry Someone young, when fame is great immensely, someone, being forgotten as old man Some of them was a lead of virtue scarcely Some belonged to a respectable clan Who can guess ahead of time and tell us When whose chosen one will be next time Who knows how the future will develop How we know, will there be any sign? This one always was the giant of thinking. Other was renowned for his good looks Third is not indifferent to drinking, and another knew so many jooks Idol, idol, faith in your revival is what we need so much for feeling good Life without you is empty thing. You shouldn't leave ,that's what we think, You leave, we cannot stop you, if we could Idol, idol, where will your arrival? Could someone wait for you just like we do? We love you now and will love then Give us bright moments оnce again Come back to us and, maybe, your image will be new If you leave , then come back, we're asking you

epicurean day 03:45
lyrics
Epicurean day I do not wake up too early well refreshed by lenghty sleep, wash my face by water flowing That's an old rule, that I keep Morning power exersises as a fountain of long years. Bread with butter looks so nice as eggs and tea for hangry body's gears Daily walks is very useful as for body as for soul Then I feel myself like a pupil Of the nature for my role Nature gives good education, when i walk in the old park, and it brings me inspiration, so I get a splendid mark But my pleasure walk is ended It's the best time to combine (by the way, as I intended) Lunch with bottle of good wine Promenade tired me a little Tasty dinner did the trick For not to make my health brittle afternoon nap will be very quick I will be rewarded fully It will be amazing dream which will give me forces surely and conform my own regime And I think it's wise and rightly when I am awake again to embody my thoughts sprightly, morning thoughts that came t'me then Company of lovely cutie will complete the evening feast. Drinking whiskey with the beauty can turn it into a kiss When the sun will rise the next day and the dew will start to drip Only then we tired and happy fall asleep

I am alive 04:31
lyrics
I am alive Darkness covered past much tightly, near future is unknown Despite this, I'm calm, it's rightly I watch from my door The bright sun is shining funny, summer garden is so green And I feel especial grace, that's coming and will make jealous from queen Mesmerized by nature's beauty, I just go out What a splendid world where once I have arrived Looking at the sky and after I think about How good is it that I am alive How good that I am alive I'll discard all of redundant and will pay my all old bills More then once I will be wondered, walking fields and hills Deep abyss, when I will see it, I will look back for a while. Before I will end my earthly visit, look at sunset makes me smile When I will decrepit old man, I take last forces, look at heaven and then say before I die Life is not so simple thing, but I endorse it How good is it that I am alive
