Surumielisen näköiset naiset [English translation]

The older you get the more uncultured you become

I say you're like a lady from a H. Miller novel, but you didn't even have the good sense to be offended by it

And it was clear then:

Spring won't come together or sober

Beautiful people only bore me out

Suck on that cigarette but please, be quite

During an evening you can have many tries

At finding something that isn't mere air

Mothaf-cking row house, I could never do that

For some reason I'm not in a rush to die yet

Recycle love like you recycle trash

Wait for the pain to kick in

Then mail your notifications of change of address

[Hook]

That winter was different from other winters

You leave a scar different from other scars

All the ballads that touched you

I said I liked them, but really, they nauseated me

And "wife" sounds like a mortgage loan

I'm sorry but I'd rather "do an Edelman" and jump off a cruiser

But sorrowful looking women,

In my mind are sorrowful looking women

That winter was different from other winters

You leave a scar different from other scars

All the ballads that touched you

I said I liked them, but really, they nauseated me

And "wife" sounds like a mortgage loan

I'm sorry but I'd rather "do the Edelman" and jump off a cruiser

But sorrowful looking women,

Like a young Kristiina Halkola

Ya know what I mean?

[Verse 2]

Ville-Galle makes hits, Heikki (Kuula?) makes hits

But I'm still drinking up at the bar, my own tracks*

And why not

I'm fluent in BS

A lil bit of Helsinki slang, but poorly, yeah true

I wanted to learn how to talk* money

I'm from a different planet than the guys before me

But even before nothing was like before

Keith Richards on French Riviera is my mode

My story is all mixed up

It only ends when the punch bowl is empty

I'm not gonna wake up from a chair with my back straight

Some think about tomorrow, others think about drinking

Next year we both might be dead

I mean, at least you aren't getting any younger than that

And that's the most romantic thing I'll say all night

You can't light a fire with wet matches

This is how I view it

We're gonna die of mediocrity if we're not completely oblivious today

[Hook]
