Plot
Saimir and his younger brother, Vini are Albanian. They both try to integrate in the life of Thessaloniki a town in north of Greece in their own way. Saimir is engaged to a Greek young woman and works as a repairman in his father-in-law's repair shop. He tries his best to help his brother Vini become self-sufficient and respectful through work. However, Vini lacks both the patience and persistence that his brother has. He is compelled to work in jobs that his brother finds for him, but is systematically fired. Hurt and chapfallen, he does not want to be dependent on Saimir and seeks to show to him that he can walk on his own. Trying to overcome the despair at a bar near the harbor, he gets acquainted with Ben, a tiny trafficker of human beings, who is closely related to the local Albanian mafia. Thus, the page of disillusioned Vini's life is turning. He earns easy money and lives in luxury, but in the meantime he discovers the nightmare of clandestine prostitution as well as the terrible destiny of many girls who have emigrated with the hope for a better life. He falls in love with Majlinda, a victim of prostitution, and will do his utmost to get her out of the claws of Keno, leader of the local mafia. High-minded and immature, he will seek the help of his brother Saimir and will pull him to the swirl of violence until the final drama.

Agon (Classical Greek ἀγών) is an ancient Greek word with several meanings:
Words derived from agon include agony, antagonism, protagonist etc.
Igor Fyodorovich Stravinsky (sometimes spelled Strawinsky or Stravinskii; Russian: Игорь Фёдорович Стравинский, transliterated: Igorʹ Fëdorovič Stravinskij; Russian pronunciation: [ˌiɡərʲ ˌfʲjodɐrɐvʲɪtɕ strɐˈvʲinskʲɪj]; 17 June [O.S. 5 June] 1882 – 6 April 1971) was a Russian, and later French and American composer, pianist and conductor. He is acknowledged by many as one of the most important and influential composers of the 20th century.
Stravinsky's compositional career was notable for its stylistic diversity. He first achieved international fame with three ballets commissioned by the impresario Sergei Diaghilev and first performed in Paris by Diaghilev's Ballets Russes: The Firebird (1910), Petrushka (1911) and The Rite of Spring (1913). The Rite of Spring, which provoked a riot during its premiere, transformed the way in which subsequent composers thought about rhythmic structure and was largely responsible for Stravinsky's enduring reputation as a musical revolutionary who pushed the boundaries of musical design. His so-called Russian phase was followed in the 1920s by a period in which he turned to neoclassical music. The works from this period tended to make use of traditional musical forms (concerto grosso, fugue and symphony). They frequently concealed a vein of intense emotion beneath a surface appearance of detachment or austerity and often paid tribute to the music of earlier masters, for example J.S. Bach and Tchaikovsky. In the 1950s, Stravinsky adopted serial procedures. His compositions of this period shared traits with examples of his earlier output: rhythmic energy, the construction of extended melodic ideas out of a few two- or three-note cells and clarity of form, of instrumentation and of utterance.
Hans Rosbaud (July 22, 1895 – December 29, 1962), was an Austrian conductor, particularly associated with the music of the twentieth century.
Hans Rosbaud was born in Graz, Austria. As children, Hans and his brother Paul Rosbaud performed with their mother, who taught piano. Hans continued studying music at the Hoch Conservatory in Frankfurt am Main, under the tutelage of Bernhard Sekles in composition and Alfred Hoehn in piano.
Rosbaud's first professional post was in Mainz, starting in 1921, as the music director of the city's new School of Music, which included conducting the municipal symphony concerts. He became the first chief conductor of the Hessicher Rundfunk Symphony Orchestra (later the Hr-Sinfonieorchester) of Frankfurt in 1928. During the 1920s and 1930s, he presented premieres of works by Arnold Schoenberg and Béla Bartók. During the Nazi era, his freedom to present new music was restricted. In 1937, he became the general music director of the city of Münster. In 1941, Rosbaud took the same position in Strasbourg, heading the Orchestre philharmonique.

Just because you left and said goodbye,
Do you think that I will sit and cry?
Even if my heart should tell me so,
Darling, I would rather let you go.
Just because I want someone who's kind,
With a heart as good and pure as mine.
But maybe I am asking for too much,
Darling, please don't ever break my heart.
I know you think you're smart,
Just runnin' around breaking lovers hearts.
Just because you left and said goodbye, hey!
Do you think that I will sit and cry?
Even if my heart should tell me so,
Darling, I would rather let you go.

Who never looked back

I bought a brand new airmobile,
It was a custom made, it was a flightning deal.
With a powerful motor and a hide away wing,
Push in on the button, you will hear her sing.
Now, you can't catch me,
Baby, you can't catch me,
'cause if you get too close,
You know I'm goin' like cool breeze.
Hey! hey!
Well, you walk!
You walk!
New jersey turnpike in the wee wee hours,
I was rollin' slowly 'cause of drizzle showers.
Here come a flat-top, he was movin' up with me,
Then come waving goodbye in a little, old souped up jitney.
I put my foot in the tank, I began to roll,
Moanin' siren, 'twas the state patrol.
I let out my wings, then I blew my horn,
Bye-bye, new jersey, I become airborn.
Now, you can't catch me,
Baby, you can't catch me,
'cause if you get too close,
You know I'm goin' like cool breeze.
Hey!
Well, you walk!
Yeah, walk!

Flying with my baby last saturday night,
Wasn't a grey cloud floatin' in sight,
Big, full moon, shinin' up above,
Cuddle up, honey, be my love.
Sweetest little thing that I ever seen,
I'm gonna name you maybellene.
Flying on the beam, set on flight control,
Radio tuned to rock and roll.
Two, three hours passed us by,
Altitude dropped into five-o-five.
Fuel consumption, way too fast,
Let's get on home before we run out of gas.
Now, you can't catch me,
Baby, you can't catch me,
'cause if you get too close,
You know I'm goin' like cool breeze.
Git it on!
Yeah, walk!
Git it on, git it on, git it on, do it!
Git it on, git it on.

What a way to go.
From distant lands,
One woman, one man,
Let the four winds blow.
Three thousand miles over the ocean.

And west is west,
The twain shall meet.

From the land of the morning star.
Yes, I'm your angel
I'll give you everything
In my magic power
So make a wish and I'll let it come true for you
You're my fairy
You give me everything
I ever wanted from life
Have I made a wish and is that why I have you?

And frogs that turn into princes

We believe in houses built in the sky
And love that lifts us high
We believe in the sun that looks over our shoulders
And brings our shadows together
Yes, our hearts are one
Our bodies, too
And it's so good, every time
We make a wish and let it come true for you, too
Happy birthday, my love

For quite awhile
Yes, I?m a witch, I?m a bitch
Each time we don?t say what we wanna say, we?re dying

Walking on thin ice, I'm paying the price
For throwing the dice in the air
Why must we learn it the hard way?
And play the game of life with your heart
I gave you my knife, you gave me my life
Like a gush of wind in my hair
Why do we forget what's been said?
And play the game of life with our hearts
I may cry someday
But the tears will dry whichever way
And when our hearts return to ashes
Yangyang holds on to a giant phone
Yangyang's soft voice goes on and on
I hate you, I hate you, where did it go wrong?
Yangyang goes talking to himself on the phone
Yangyang sends his men pebbles and stones
Yangyang rips his women down to the bones
I own you, I own you, so give us a song
Yangyang goes talking to his world on the phone
Yangyang's born with a phone cord round his neck
Yangyang never fails to stick to his kick
I want you, I want you, you're making me sick
But Yangyang, the chords never long enough
To reach your mommys trick
Yangyang Yang Yangyang
Yangyang Yang Yangyang
Yangyang, snap out
Give up, cut out
Tune up and join us
Join the revolution
Join the revolution
No kick is good enough for lifetime substitution
No brick will give you a lifetime consolation
And whether you like it or not
You're a part of the transition
And whether you dig it or not
We outnumber you in population
And leave your private institution
Get down to real communication
Leave your scene of destruction
And join us in revolution
Yangyang Yang Yangyang
Yangyang Yang Yangyang
Yangyang, wake up
Snap out, give up
Come out and join us
Join the revolution
Wouldn't it be nice to be a heroine?
Cool and slinky with an appropriate smile
Honey, I take sugar, two
While he's ranting and raving
Could you pass that cream?
I was looking to have a cupa tea
Instead I freeze
Seeing his next move, is it grabbing my hair?
Or bushing my tush
Till there's no scream left?
Wouldn't it be nice to be a heroine?
Wouldnit, wouldnit?
Wouldnit, wouldnit?
Wouldnit, wouldnit?
Wouldnit?
Wouldn't it be nice to be a hero?
Standing fast and easy with an appropriate grin
Brother, not that way, they'll take you away
Mmm, give me your gun
It's no use to anyone
Instead I freeze
Seeing if I shut up and stay real still
Maybe he wont kill
At least not me
Wouldn't it be nice to be a hero?
Wouldnit, wouldnit?
Wouldnit, wouldnit?
Wouldnit, wouldnit?
Wouldnit?
Wouldn't it be nice to be a star?
Shinin' and sparklin', looking down the whole and plenty
Being looked up with a telescope
While my sisters busy cutting the rope
Daddy, you can't touch me
Mommy, you can't hate me
I'm a star, get it?
Instead I froze
And I let them, I let them
I let them pick my brain
Twist my arm, cut my throat
And wish me dead
But I'm still thinking
Wouldn't it be nice to be a star?
Wouldnit, wouldnit?
Wouldnit, wouldnit?
Wouldnit, wouldnit?
Woman is the nigger of the world,
Yes, she is, think about it.
Woman is the nigger of the world,
Think about it, do something about it.
We make her paint her face and dance,
If she won't be a slave and say that she don't love us.
If she's real, we say she's tryin' to be a man,
While puttin' her down we pretend that she's above us.
Woman is the nigger of the world,
Yes, she is,
If you don't believe me, take a look at the one you're with.
Woman is the slave of the slaves,
Oh yeah, better scream about it, yeah!
We make her bear and raise our children,
And then we leave her flat for being a fat old mother hen.
We tell her home is the only place she should be,
Then we complain that she's too unworldly to be our friend.
Oh, woman is the nigger of the world,
Yes, she is,
If you don't believe me, take a look at the one you're with.
Oh, woman is the slave to the slave,
Yeah, all right.
Hit it!
We insult her ev'ry day on tv,
And wonder why she has no guts or confidence.
When she's young, we kill her will to be free,
While tellin' her not to be so smart we put her down for being so dumb.
Oh well, woman is the nigger of the world,
Yes, she is,
If you don't believe me, take a look at the one you're with.
Woman is the slave to the slaves,
Yes, she is,
If you believe, we'd better scream about it!
Uh, uh, uh, hey, hey.
We make her paint her face and dance,
We make her paint her face and dance,
We make her paint her face and dance,
We make her paint her face and dance,
We make her paint her face and dance,
We make her paint her face and dance,

If we sweep the bottom of the rivers

Cats on the hill, ready to kill
Where do we go from here?

If we sweep the shelters and asylums
We'll find women that shouldn't be there
If we sweep the dark streets and alleys
We'll find dealers that shouldn't be there

Why do we miss you so if you're
Just a speck of dust?
Are we getting tired of blood and horror?
Are we getting ready for God and terror?

Early in the morning I feel my pillow,
I listen to the soundless phone.
My thighs are sweaty, freezing inside,
Our bed's empty as ever.
What a bastard you are,
Leaving me all night missing you.
Slowly the door opens, you stand for a while,
See if I'm asleep or just closing my eyes.
I quickly get up and throw my pillows,
Throw an ashtray filled with butts.
Where were you all night if I may ask you so?
Though I don't care at all, I'd just like to know.
Right! you weren't near the phone to call me from,
Or is it you were afraid to wake me up?
I'm sick and tired of listening to the same old crap.
You know half the world is occupied with you pigs,
I can always get another pig like you.
You've heard of female liberation, well, that's for me,
You'll see me walk out one day and then where will you be?
But don't you be too happy,
I ain't walking out yet to give you satisfaction,
I'm first gonna find something other than the walls
To have some human conversation.
Then I'll glow, I'll be happy inside, my limbs will relax.
And I can walk out into the world, singing with my people.
But now I couldn't even move my muscles to go near the door,
I've been sitting here too long and my legs are numb.
Are you listening, you jerk, you pig, you bastard,
You scum of the earth, you good for nothing?
Are you listening?
Oh, don't go, don't go, please, don't go,
I didn't mean it, I'm just in pain.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
The door is closed, she's left alone,
Making herself a breakfast.
Her hands are shaking, her eyes looking out,
Watching the trees grow day by day.
What a bastard the world is,
Taking my man away from me,
Taking the world away from me.
Female lib is nice for joan of arc,

Ok, one, two, three, one two, three
If you had the luck of the irish,
You'd be sorry and wish you were dead.
You should have the luck of the irish,
And you'd wish you was english instead.
A thousand years of torture and hunger,
Drove the people away from their land.
A land full of beauty and wonder
Was raped by the british brigands!
Goddamned!
Goddamned!
If you could keep voices like flowers,
There's be shamrock all over the world.
If you could drink dreams like irish streams,
Then the world would be as high as the mountain of morn.
In the 'pool they told us the story
How the english divided the land.
Of the pain and the death and the glory
And the poets of auld eireland.
If we could make chains with the morning dew,
The world would be like galway bay.
Let's walk over rainbows like leprechauns,
The world would be one big blarney stone.
Why the hell are the english there anyway?
As they kill with God on their side!
Blame it all on the kids and the i.r.a.
As the bastards commit genocide!
Aye! aye!
Genocide!
Okay!
You should have the luck of the irish,
You'd be sorry and wish you were dead.
You should have the luck of the irish,
And you'd wish you was english instead.
One more time!
You should have the luck of the irish,
You'd be sorry and wish you were dead.
You should have the luck of the irish,
And you'd wish you was english instead,
Hey, yes, you'd wish you were english instead.
Hello, hello, testing, testing...
At this time of year...oh, let me first introduce myself.
Maybe you have heard me before, I am the great wok.
And as you know, the great wok must be done.
Now, at this time of year when brahama is in brahma...
The day of brahma is set to last one thousand years and it's night is of equal length.
Well, for us human being, this is the end of the year now
And our minds turns towards what is laughably called the future.
No mind can comprehend the infinite and absolute anon munsch mars stunvelly humpff,
As we say in the himalayas.
Now let5 me tell you, my resolution of the year 1979 is to renounce complete everything,
But complete luxury and self indulgance.
Now I suggest this is going to be very, very difficult, very difficult indeed.
I feel it's my duty, not only as a human being but as a person
Or was it not george formy who said there are four billion three hundred and twenty million
Mortal or earth years which is one day of brahma.
So, one way of looking at it is simply not to look at it at all.
And that's exactly what we're going to do now.
So we'll settle down, deeply, I hope, and comfortably in an easy chair
-"there's a break ev'ry time, there"
-"................? .................."
-"no, oh, I thought it was you, sombody was hangin' over, maybe a foot on the pedal or something"
-"................? .................."
-"well, would you do it, jim? eh, I don't know what you do it on.....yeah!"
-".one, one, two, three, four"
Sweet as the smell of success,
Her body's warm and wet.
She gets me thru this God awful loneliness,
A natural high butterfly.
Oh, i, I need. need, need her.
Just like a willow tree,
A breath of spring, you see.
And, oh boy, you don't know what she do to me,
She makes me sweat, forget who I am.
Oh i, I need, need, need her.
Well, I was wond'rin' how long this could go on,
On and on.
'cause I thought I could never be surprised.
But could it be that I bit my own tongue?
Mm-hmm,
It's so hard to swallow when you're wrong.
A bird of paradise,
Sunrise in her eyes.
God only knows such a sweet surprise,
I was blind, she blew my mind,
Think that i, oh, I love, love, love her.
- "stay on your d! - d! - stay there. hey!"
Sweet, sweet, sweet,
Sweet, sweet smell.
Sweet, sweet, sweet
Such sweet, sweet,
Sweet, sweet smell.
Well, it was sunday, bloody sunday when the shot the people there.
The cries of thirteen martyrs filled the free derry air.
Is there anyone amongst you dare to blame it on the kids?
Not a soldier boy was bleeding when they nailed the coffin lids!
Sunday, bloody sunday, bloody sunday's the day.
Well, you claim to be majority, well, you know that it's a lie.
You're really a minority on this sweet emerald isle.
When stormont bans our marches, they've got a lot to learn,
Internment is no answer, it's those mothers' turn to burn.
Sunday, bloody sunday, bloody sunday's the day.
Hey! yeah!
Yeah!
Sunday, bloody sunday, bloody sunday's the day.
All you anglo pigs and scotties sent to colonise the north,
You wave your bloody union jacks and you know what it's worth.
How dare you hold to ransom a people proud and free?
Keep ireland to the irish, put the english back to sea!
Sunday, bloody sunday, bloody sunday's the day.
Hey, hey, hey!
Alright!
Ooh -
Yeah!
Sunday, bloody sunday, bloody sunday's the day.
Well, it's always bloody sunday in the concentration camps.
Keep falls road free forever from the bloody british hands.
Repatriate to britain all of you who call it home,
Leave ireland to the irish not for london or for rome.
Sunday, bloody sunday, bloody sunday's the day.
Sunday, bloody sunday, bloody sunday's the day.
Sunday, bloody sunday, bloody sunday's the day.
Sunday, bloody sunday, bloody sunday's the day.
Sunday, bloody sunday, bloody sunday's the day.

Our life span will meet our life plan of starpeace.
Human civilization is in a state of isolation,
We'll learn to reach out for terrestrial communications.
We'll make our first migration from earth to other constellations,
Our life span will meet out life plane of starpeace.
Love is our energy source, wisdom is our power source.
Health is our nature resource,
Growth is our future resource.

Je ne savais pas, je ne savais pas
Je ne savais pas, je ne savais pas
Pourquoi tu ne m?a pas dit, que tu souffrais?
Je serais venu vite vers toi
Mais, je ne savais pas, je ne savais pas
Je ne savais pas
Tremblant de peur d?avoir besoin de toi
Tremblant de peur de te desirer
Je ne savais pas, je ne savais pas
Je ne savais pas, je ne savais pas
Pourquoi tu ne m?a pas dit, que tu n?avais desirer?
J?aurais couru vers toi

I didn?t know, I didn?t know
I didn?t know, I didn?t know
Why didn?t you tell me you were in pain?
I would have come to you so quickly
But I didn?t know, I didn?t know
I didn?t know
Feeling cold from fear of needing you
Feeling faint from fear of wanting you
But I didn?t know, I didn?t know
Didn?t know, I didn?t know
Why didn?t you tell me you missed me too?
I would have come to you so quickly
But I didn?t know, I didn?t know
She gets down on her knees to throw up life
She gets down on her knees to throw up life
She gets down on her knees to throw up life
That?s the only thing she does it good
Room to room, flushing away her memory
Bay to bay, washing out her history
She gets down on her knees to make up life
She gets down on her knees to make up life
She gets down on her knees to make up life
That?s the only way she has it good
She?s a mainliner who?s never took a main line
She?s a one liner who?s never found the one line
She goes from one bay to another looking for a liner
Going down, down, down, down to feel the ground
Coming up, up, up, up to make the flight
She?s a line thrower, dip it in a honey bowl
She?s a line burner, rub it in with vinegar and oil
She goes from one sky to another looking for a liner
Going down, down, down, down to feel the ground
Coming up, up, up, up to make the flight
Going down, down, down, down to feel the ground
Coming up, up, up, up to make the flight
Blur patches in the clouded sky
Too high to catch her tears and sighs
You say you found jesus christ
He's the only one
You say you found buddah
Sittin' in the sun,
You say you found mohammed
Facin' to the east
You say you found krishna
Dancin' in the street.
Well, there's somethin' missin' in this God almighty stew
And it's your mother,
Your mother, don't forget your mother, lad.
You gotta serve yourself
Nobody gonna do it for you
You gotta serve yourself
Nobody gonna do it for you
Well, you may believe in devils and you may believe in laws
But if you don't go out and serve yourself, lad (ain't no room service here....? ......)
It's still the same old story
A bloody holy war
A fight for love and glory
Ain't gonna study war no more
A fight for God and country
We're gonna set you free
We'll put you back in the stone age
If you won't be like me.
Get it?
You gotta serve yourself
Ain't nobody gonna do it for you
You gotta serve yourself
Ain't nobody gonna do it for you
Yeah, you may believe in devils and you may believe and laws
But christ, you gonna have to serve yourself and that's all there is to it
So get right back here, it's in the bloody fridge!
God, when I was a kid, we didn't have stuff like this, t.v. fuckin' dinners and all that crap!
You fuckin' kids, all fuckin' the same, want a fuckin' car now?
Lucky to have a pair of shoes?
You tell me you've found jesus christ,
That's great and he's the only one
You say you've just found buddah
And he's sittin' on his arse in the sun,
You say you found mohammed
Kneelin' on a bloody carpet, facin' east
You say you found krishna
With his bald head, dancin' in the street
Well, christ now and you're bein' heard.
You gotta serve yourself
Ain't nobody gonna do it for you, that's right lad
You better get that straight into your fuckin' head!
You gotta serve yourself, you know that, who else is gotta do that for you
It ain't me, kid, I tell you that.
Well you may believe in jesus
And you may believe in marx
And you may believe in marks and spencers
And you may even believe in bloody woolworths
But there's something missin' in this whole bloody stew
And it's your mother, your poor bloody mother
She worked for you in the back bedroom
Full of piss and shit and fuckin' midwives
God, you can't forget that awful moment, you know
You should have been in the bloody war, lad, and you would know all about it
Well, I'll tell you somethin',
It's still the same old story
A holy bloody war
You know with the pope and all that stuff
A fight for love and glory
Ain't gonna study no more war
I fight for God and country and the queen and all that
We're gonna set you free, yeah,
Bomb ya back into the fuckin' stone age if you won't be like me
You know, now get down on your knees and pray
Well, there's something missin' in this God almighty stew
And it's your God damn mother, you dirty little git
Now get in there and was your ears.

All the little girls and boys,
Playing with their little toys,
All they really needed from you is maybe some love.
All the little boys and girls,
Living in this crazy world,
All they really needed from you is maybe some love.
Why must we be alone?
Why must we be alone?
It's real love,
Yes, it's real.
I don't expect you to understand,
The king above heaven is in your hand.
I don't expect you to awake from your dreams,
Too late for pride now it seems.
All the little plans and schemes,
Nothing but a bunch of dreams,
We were waiting for peter, the dealer,
He comes in the evening when we're fussing in bed.
He says, "good morning, here's your breakfast",
And give us plates of stone.
Take a pinta blood each from us to give to the poor.
We count the windows in the cities and tell each other,
Yes, life is a helluva lot of waiting time.
Our minds are objects of constipation,
Our bodies are subject to dissipation.
So keep your intentions in a clear bottle
And leave it in the cupboard when you're out.
We were waiting for peter, the wheeler,
He comes in the morning when we're fast asleep.
Gives us a trip that's spending hundred years in a day,
And takes a bone each from us to give to the dogs.
We count the wrinkles on the globe and tell each other,
Yes, life is a helluva lot of waiting time.
Our minds are objects of constipation,
Our bodies are subject to dissipation.
So keep your intentions in a clear bottle
And leave it on the shelf when you rap.
We were waiting for peter, the blower,
He comes in when we're fixing snow on rock.
Gives us orange juice laced with sunshine and spring,
And takes a heart each from us to give to the world.
We count the memories that are lost and tell each other,
Yes, life is a helluva lot of waiting time.
Our minds are objects of constipation,
Our bodies are subject to dissipation.
So keep your intentions in a clear bottle
Throw it in the ocean when you go.
We were waiting for peter, the weaver,
He comes in a flash when we're wide awake.
Says the world can't give us answers
'cause it's stuttering in it's mind.
Takes a head each off us to give us some peace.
We count the lights in the universe and tell each other,
Let's go!
Only people know just how to talk to people,
Only people know just how to change the world,
Only people realise the power of people.
Well, a million heads are better than one,
So come on, git it on!
Well, I know how we tried,
The millions of tears that we cried.
Now we are hipper, we been thru the trip.
And we can't be denied,
With woman and man side by side.
Make no mistake, it's our future we're making,
Bake the cake and eat it too.
We don't want no pig brother scene.
Only people know just how to talk to people,
Only people know just how to change the world,
Only people realise the power of people.
Well, a million heads are better than one,
So come on, git it on!
Well, it's long overdue,
There ain't nothing better to do.
Now we are hipper, we been thru the trip.
We can fly right on thru,
There's nothing on earth we can't do.
Fish or cut bait, it's our future we're making,
All together now, pull the chain.
We don't want no pig brother scene!
Alright! boogie! hey ho! let's go!

Hey! hey! hey! alright! keep on, keep it on!

You are my weakness,
You are my strength,
Nothing I have in the world
Makes better sense.
'cause I'm a fish and you're the sea.
When we're together
Or when we're apart,
There's never a space in between
The beat of our hearts.

One day at a time is all we do,
One day at a time is good for
You, (yeah)

Feeling your breath on my face
And the love in your eyes.

O?oh, people dancing
O?oh, July 4th in New York City
I never knew we could be so nice to each other
I never thought we?d be laughing together
I never knew life could be so sweet and simple
I never thought that was possible
O?oh
O?oh, Central Park
O?oh, evening skyline
O?oh, helicopter
O?oh, firecrackers
O?oh, o?oh, o?oh, o?oh
Everybody's talking and no one says a word
Everybody's making love for no one really cares
There's Nazis in the bathroom just below the stairs
Always something happening and nothing going on
Always something cooking and nothing in the pot
They're starving back in China so finish what you got
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
No one told me there'd be days like these
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Strange days indeed, strange days indeed
Most peculiar honey, boogie
Everybody's running and no one makes a move
Everyone's a winner and nothing left to lose
There's a little yellow idol to the north of Kathmandu
Hey now, everybody's flying and no one leaves the ground
But everybody's crying and no one makes a sound
There's a place for us in the movies you just gotta lay around
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
No one told me there'd be days like these
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Strange days indeed, strange days indeed
Most peculiar, mama
Everybody's smoking and no one's getting high
Everybody's flying and never see the sky
There's a UFO over New York and I ain't too surprised into the middle
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
No one told me there'd be days like these
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Strange days indeed most peculiar, most peculiar
I mean I never seen anything like this, hey hey
Rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling, polling, polling, hey
So long ago, was it in a dream?
Was it just a dream?
I know, yes, I know,
It seemed so very real,
It seemed so real to me.
Took a walk down the street,
To the heat whispered trees,
I thought I could hear, hear, hear, hear,
Somebody call out my name, (john)
As it started to rain, (john)
Two spirits dancing so strange.
Ah! böwakawa pousse, pousse,
Ah! böwakawa pousse, pousse,
Ah! böwakawa pousse, pousse.
Dream, dream away, magic in the air,
Was magic in the air.
I believe, yes, I believe,
More I cannot say,
What more can I say?
On the river of sound,
Thru the merry go round, round,
I thought I could feel, feel, feel, feel,
Music touching my soul,
Something warm, sudden cold,
The spirit dance was unfolding.
Ah! böwakawa pousse, pousse,
Ah! böwakawa pousse, pousse,
Ah! böwakawa pousse, pousse.
Ah! böwakawa pousse, pousse,
Ah! böwakawa pousse, pousse,
Ah! böwakawa pousse, pousse,
Ah! böwakawa pousse, pousse,
Ah! böwakawa pousse, pousse,
Ah! böwakawa pousse, pousse,
Ah! böwakawa pousse, pousse,
Ah! böwakawa pousse, pousse,
Ah! böwakawa pousse, pousse,
Ah! böwakawa pousse, pousse,
Standing on the corner, just me and yoko ono,
We was waiting for jerry to land.
Up come a man with a guitar in his hand,
Singing, "have a marijuana, if you can."
His name was david peel and we found that he was real,
He sang, "the pope smokes dope ev'ryday."
Up come a policeman, shoved us of the street,
Singing, "power to the people today."
New york city!
New york city!
New york city!
Que pasa, new york?
Que pasa, new york?
Hey! hey!
Well, down to max's, kansas city, got down the nitty gritty
With the elephant's memory band.
Laid something down as the news spread around
About the plastic ono elephant's memory band.
Well, we played some funky boogie, and laid some tutti fritti,
Singing, "long tall sally's a man."
Up come a preacher man, tryin' to be a teacher,
Singing, "god's a red herring in drag!"
New york city!

Well, we did the staten island ferry, making movies for the telly,
Played the fillmore and apollo for freedom.
Tried to shake our image, just a-cycling through the village,
But we found that we had left it back in london.
Well, nobody came to bug us, hustle us or shove us,
We decided to make it our home.
If the man wants to shove us out, we gonna jump and shout,
The statue of liberty said, "come!"

Standing on the corner, just me and yoko ono,
We was waiting for her hour to land,
Up come a man with a guitar in his hand,
"have marijuana if you can."
Well, his name was david peel
And we found that he was real,

Hey!

Went back to kansas city, laid down the nitty gritty
With the elephant's memory band.
Laid something down as the news spread around
About the plastic ono elephant's memory band.
Played some tutti frutti and played some funky boogie,
"long tall sally's a man!"
Up come the preacherman, tryin' to be a teacher,
Singing, "god's a red herring in drag!"

Forgive me, my little flower princess
For crushing your delicateness.
Forgive me,
Uh, uh, uh, forgive me.
Forgive me, my little flower princess
...selfishness.
Forgive me,
Forgive me.
And I know there is no way to repay you,
Whatever it takes I will try to,
The rest of my life I will thank you,
Thank you, thank you,
My little...
If you forgive me, my little flower princess,
Never too late, unless...
You can for...
Mm, mm...
Time is on our side,
Let's not waste another minute,
'cause I love you, my little friend,
I really love you.
Give me just one more chance and I'll show you,
Take up the dance where we left off,
The rest of our life is the...
My little...
Mildred, mildred, how I love you so,
Remember the joke you told me
While we had our midnight tea.
That was the funniest joke I ever heard in my life,
I didn't tell you then 'cause I was drinking the tea.
Alfred, now alfred, you used to call me so.
And told me how it would be nice to open a plant shop.
That was the most sensible idea we had in our life,
I didn't tell you then 'cause I was reading the papers.
Mildred, oh, mildred, how I love you so,
Remember how you were angry when I talked to the box.
You kept trying to tell me something, something about your life,
But I didn't hear you then 'cause I was watching the box.
I bought a pot of plant now
And I'm watering it ev'ry day.
I watched the late night talk show
And asked the man in a suit
Why he was laughing so when my wife was dead.
He didn't reply,
No, he didn't reply at all.
And I burnt the box the next morning
And buried in our garden.
Mildred, oh, mildred, how I miss you so,
How I wish to tell you a lot of things about our life.
But of course you aren't around, you aren't around no more
A one, two, three.
J.o.h.n.n.y.,
God's little gift, cream and pie.
Men, men, men, umm, uum,
Men, men, men, umm, uum,
Men, men, milk and honey,
God's little gift for woman.
I want you clever but not too clever,
I want you bad but not too bad.
I want you strong but not too strong,
I want you to try your rightful position.
Oh, too, too much, I mean, it's so good.
Men, men, snails and puppies,
Your muscles are not for fighting in war.
Your lips are not for voicing opinions,
Your eyes are there for us to look into.
I want you to take your rightful position.
Oh, too, too much, I mean, it's so good.
Men, men, grapes and nuts,
Your pants are never tight enough,
Your boots are never long enough.
Your skin is never young enough,
I want you to hold your rightful position.
Pardon me, honeycum, your hair piece's slipping.
Men, men, apples and figs,
I like you to be faithful but not very fussy,
I like you to be behind me but not just beside me.
I like you to shut up but know when to say yes,
I want you to learn your frightful position.
Pardon me, starstud, your cod piece's showing.
Now you know what you have to do-oh,
Now you know what's expected of you-hoo-hoo-hoo.
So come, come, come, come,
Come up and hum hum,
Come up and hum hum,
Come up and see me sometime,
Come up and see me sometime.
-"ladies and gents, I'd like to introduce you to my lower half, without whom I won't be breathing so heavily.
Honey juice, you can come out of the box now..."
- "we'd like to welcome you here to the dakota country and western club
And in return for miss yoko ono's wonderful gift of a very strange...
I'd like,this morning, to sing you a little ditty that occured to me in the throes of my sleep
It's called "life begins at 40"
They say life begins at forty,
Age is just a state of mind.
If all that's true,
You know, that I've been dead for thirty-nine.
And if life begins at forty,
Well, I hope it ain't the same
It's been tough enough without that stuff
I don't wanna to be born again.
Well, I tried to sweep the slate clean
With a new broom ev'ry day
If that don't work,
I'll jerk around until my next birtday
Yeah, life begins at forty,
Age is just a state of mind.
Well, if all that's true
what about it?

Sometimes it's such a drag,
I don't feel like getting up in the morning.
Then something happens, it clicks in my head,
I feel like crying,
But I know it's gonna be alright.
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright,
I know it's gonna be alright.
Sometimes, I'm so afraid, (I'm so, I'm so scared)
I don't feel like facing the world.
Then something happens, it clicks in my head,
I feel like crying,
I know it's gonna be alright.
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright,
I know it's gonna be alright.
I guess I'm not the only one, (not the only one in misery)
There many of us around.
So when you're feeling down, (down)
Hold your heart and say, it's gonna be alright.
Hold your heart and it'll be alright.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes,
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes,
Yes, yes, yes, it's gonna be, it's gonna be alright,
It's gonna be alright, yes.
I guess I'm not the only one, (not the only one in history)
There many of us in history.
So when you're feeling down, (down)
Hold your heart and say, it's gonna be alright.
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright,
I know it's gonna be alright.
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright,
I know it's gonna be alright.
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright,
We're gonna make it, alright.
(it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, alright)
