Plot
Orphaned at a very young age, Badruddin alias Badru was taken in by the kind-hearted Ustad Samad Khan, a once popular singer in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh. During one of his shows, Samad found his audience distracted, and taking this as an insult to his art, gave up singing altogether. Badru is attracted to Samad's pretty daughter, Reshma, who also likes him. Badru has another admirer in the beautiful Naseem, but does not reciprocate her love. When Akhtar, a free lance photographer from Delhi, arrives there, Reshma and he instantly fall in love with each other, leaving behind a heartbroken Badru. When Akhtar proposes marriage, Samad angrily rejects him, as he wants Reshma to marry Nawab Hyder Ali's son, Basharat. This anger has repercussins on Samad's health and he is hospitalized. His treatment will cost a lot of money, so Reshma decides to part in a singing competition, which she wins. Samad is treated and returns home to start preparations for Reshma's marriage, and is told to his astonishment that Reshma has already down Basharat's proposal. It is then Basharat decides to take this matter in his own hands, and attends Samad's house, and there is no one who can stop him from forcibly marrying Reshma.
Relax and settle down
Let your mind go 'round
Lay down on the ground
And listen to the sound
Of the band, hold my hand
Open up your mind
We'll love right where we lie
I'll know you from inside
You're like a horse I'll ride
Over the sand, through the land
Relax and let your mind roll on
Over all your problems
Relax and let your mind roll on
Over all your problems
We try harder and harder, tryin' to get our way
But it's a long, long wait until judgment day
So settle your affairs and take your time
'Cause everything in this world is yours and mine
Yours and mine
Relax and settle down
Let your mind go 'round
Lay down on the ground
And listen to the sound
Of the band, hold my hand
Me and my brother were talkin' to each other
'Bout what makes a man, a man
Was it brain or brawn, or the month you were born
We just couldn't understand
Our old man didn't like our appearance
He said that only women wear long hair
So me and my brother borrowed money from mother
We knew what we had to do
We went downstairs, past the barber and gymnasium
And got our arms tattooed
Welcome to my life, tattoo
I'm a man now, thanks to you
I expect, I'll regret you
But the skin graft man won't get you
You'll be there when I die, tattoo
My dad beat me 'cause mine said "Mother"
But my mother naturally liked it and beat my brother
'Cause his tattoo was of a lady in the nude
And my mother thought that was extremely rude
Welcome to my life, tattoo
We've a long time together, me and you
I expect I'll regret you
But the skin graft man won't get you
You'll be there when I die, tattoo
Now I'm older, I'm tattooed all over
My wife is tattooed too
A rooty-toot-toot, rooty-tooty-toot-toot
Rooty-toot-toot tattoo too
You take away the breath I was keeping for sunrise
You appear and the morning looks drab in my eyes
And then again I'll turn down love, having seen you again
Once more you'll disappear, my morning put to shame
You take away the breath I was keeping for sunrise
You appear and the morning looks drab in my eyes
And then again I'll turn down love, having seen you again
Once more you'll disappear, my morning put to shame
Sometimes I fear that this will go on my life through
Each day I spend in an echoed vision of you
And then again I'll turn down love, remembering your smile
My every day is spent, thinking of you all the while
The times I've let myself down, my heads spinning round
My eyes see only you
The chances I've lost, opportunities tossed
Away and into the blue
You take away the breath I was keeping for sunrise
You appear and the morning looks drab in my eyes
And then again I'll turn down love, having seen you again
The Redchins in their millions
Will overspill their borders
And chaos then will reign in our Rael
The country of my fathers
A proud land overloaded
Like a goldfish being swallowed by a whale
Rael the home of my religion
To me, the center of the earth
The Redchins in their millions
Will overspill their borders
And chaos then will reign in our Rael
My heritage is threatened
My roots are torn and cornered
And so to do my best I'll homeward sail
And so to do my best I'll homeward sail
Now captain, listen to my instructions
Return to this spot on Christmas day
Look toward the shore for my signal
And then you'll know if in Rael I'll stay
If a yellow flag is fluttering
Simply held against the morn
Then you'll know my courage is ended
And you'll send your boat ashore
But if a red flag is flying
Brazen, bold against the blue
Then you'll know that I am staying
And my yacht belongs to you
Now captain listen to my instructions
Return to this spot on Christmas day
Look toward the shore for my signal
And then you'll know if in Rael I'll stay
He's crazy if he thinks we're coming back again
He's crazy if he thinks we're coming back again
He's crazy if he thinks we're coming back again
He's crazy anyway
If a yellow flag is fluttering
Sickly held against the morn
Then you'll know my courage is ended
Our love was
Our love was famine, frustration
We only acted out an imitation
Of what real love should have been
And then suddenly
Our love was flying
Our love was soaring
Our love was shining
Like a summer morning
Flying, soaring
Shining morning
Never leaving
Lying, dying
Love, love, love, long
Love, love, love, long
Love, love, love, long
Love, love, love, long
Love, love, love, long
Love, love, love, long
Love, love, love, long
Love, love, love, long
Love, love, love, long
Love, love, love, long
Love, love, love, long
Love, love, love, long
Our love was flying
Our love was soaring
Our love was shining
Like a summer morning
Our love was famine, frustration
We only acted out an imitation
Of what real love should have been
And then suddenly
Our love was flying
Our love was soaring
Our love was shining
She sang the best she'd ever sang
She couldn't ever sing any better
A Mr. Davidson never rang
She knew he would forget her
She'd seen him there
And put herself to ransom
He had stared
He really was quite handsome
She had really looked her best
She couldn't ever look any better
But she knew she'd fail the test
She knew he would forget her
Triumphant was the way she felt
As she acknowledged the applause
Triumphant was the way she'd felt
When she saw him at the dressing room door
She was happier than she'd ever been
As he praised her for her grace
But his expression changed, she had seen
As he leant to kiss her face
It ended there
He claimed a late appoinment
She quickly turned
To hide her disappointment
She ripped her glittering gown
Couldn't face another show, no
Her deodorant had let her down
The [Incomprehensible] with dynamic tension
Can turn into a piece of [Incomprehensible]
I'm a million ages past you
A million years behind you too
A thousand miles up in the air
A trillion times I've seen you there
Your hair is golden, mine is gray
You walk on grass, it turns to hay
Your blood is blue and your eyes are red
My body strains but the nerves are dead
I can't reach you, I've strained my eyes
I can't reach you, I've split my sides
I can't reach trying to get on you
See, feel or hear from you
The distances grow greater now
You drink champagne and past me plow
You fly your plane right over my head
You're so alive and I'm nearly dead
I can't reach you without that stretched
I can't reach you, I crane my neck
I can't reach trying to get on you
See, feel or hear from you
Once I caught a glimpse
Of your unguarded untouched heart
Our fingertips touched and then
My mind tore us apart
I can't reach you without that stretched
I can't reach you, I crane my neck
I can't reach trying to get on you
See, feel or hear from you
Can't reach you without that stretched
I can't reach you, I crane my neck
I can't reach trying to get on you
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday

If you're troubled and you can't relax
Close your eyes and think I'm this
If the room exploding in your head all turn to facts
Close your eyes and think I'm this
Armenia, city in the sky
Armenia, city in the sky
If you ever want to lose some time
Just take off, there's no risk
If you ever want to disappear
Just take off and think of this
Armenia, city in the sky
Armenia, city in the sky
The sky is glass, the sea is brown
And everyone is upside-down
Armenia, city in the sky

If you're troubled and you can't relax
Close your eyes and think I'm this
