Sovznak
Sovznaks (Russian: совзнак) were promissory notes issued in Soviet Russia in 1919 and used during 1919-1924. The name is an abbreviation of the expression "Sovetskiye znaki" (Советские знаки, Soviet tokens), which in its turn was an abbreviation of the official terms (советские казначейские знаки, расчётные знаки РСФСР, денежные знаки РСФСР (СССР) ) used during different periods. They were the de facto money of the time. The term "token" was an euphemism for "money", since the communism was supposed to abolish money, and sovznaks were considered to be a temporary, transitional instrument.

Sofa Song
by: KooksThe city freeze before
I just realised I don't like you
Me and my girl
Are going out for some air
And I will do my best
Just to get under her dress
And catch you out if I can
On the other side of my sofa
Won't you come on over
At the side of my sofa
Oh won't you come on over
The city heated it up
It got blurry cause I'd had enough
And he tried to take your soul
But didn't realise you keep it in a different hole
Won't you come on over
At the side of my sofa
Oh won't you come on over
So here he comes, a man with
A loaded gun, I don't know if he
Wants my soul or my
Cash flow, I s'pose I don't know
So here he comes, a man with a
A loaded gun I don't know if he
Wants my girl's heart or her pearls
I s'pose I don't know
I s'pose I don't know
I s'pose I don't know
I s'pose I don't know
