Antognoni, he had time to control it but he, tried to knock it inside for Monelli
he was tightly marked, and it's Oriali now, Bertoni,
Could be a one-two, yes it is! Good move, oh!, what a chance
Good looking cross, what a goal!

The world is full of questions, they fill me with fear
What of our beginnings? Why are we here?
And he's got it this time, yes!
Is there a purpose? Is there a God?
But one question troubles me
Far more than this lot
almost comical, almost comical

What nationality is Les Murray?
Wherefore hails his ancestry?
Whom does he call the mother country
When he phones home through OTC?
And he's as happy as Larry

Everyone is searching for the meaning of life
Religion and politics, black versus white.
He's got it this time, yes!
Karl Marx played on the left, Ayn Rand played on the right
But there's a much bigger problem. It stops me sleeping at night.

What nationality is Les Murray?
Wherefore hails his ancestry?
Whom does he call the mother country
When he phones home through OTC?

Les is More. More or Less.
Les is more. Lest we forget
Les is more, but one regret;
What is the origin of his descent?

Veltagovia (x6)
Ah, we hit it

Sweden? No
Portugal? No
Poland? No
Iceland? No
New Zealand? No
Canada? No
Bolivia? No
Israel? No
Yemen? No
Ukraine? No
Spain? No
Monaco? No
France? No

He's got it this time, yes!
What a beauty!

Is he from Austria? Algeria? Bahrain?
Bangladesh or Barbados? Bulgaria? Cameroon?
Is he from Chad? Chile? China?
Germany? Greece? Great Britain?
Is he from Guatemala? Guam? or Guyana?

Les is More
Haiti? Burundi? Zimbabwe?
Les is More
Kampuchea? North Korea? Tanzania?
Les is More
Senegal? Paraguay? Trinidad? Tuvelau? Ecuador? Uruguay?
Les is More
Azerbaijan? Madagascar? Swaziland? Guadeloupe?
Les is More. More or Les.
Les is More. Lest we forget.
Les is more, my one regret;
What is the origin of his descent?

{?} (x3)
Now a chance, oh! (x3)
well, can you blame him?....

Éljen Magyarország!

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
