Toton Africa [English translation]

I remembered Paris from somewhere

We played at Argentine station in -05

When they kicked us out

you left your coat there hanging from a stick at the metro tunnel

Now you're busy going forward

I'm busy running in place

and reading yesterday's paper

"We should meet more often,"

we called out like robots

and managed again to make it sound like

we will never meet again

If you come to my place

we can hang out like in the old times

It will bring the old signs

past years back

Let's play weary Wonderwall our eyes closed

Let's start a hundred bands

Let's drink a thousand glasses of beer

Let's wish they'll play Toto's Africa in the radio

I saw a dream about us last week

We had came from some masquerade party

You didn't get excited when

Lumi suggested that we three should hang out together sometimes

You sold all the albums

even Dave's Vanha & uusi romanssi and Aino*

I sold my soul to Satan

Songs began to be too often in major key

as I would have worked

in a mirror house

If you come to my place

we can hang out like in the old times

It will bring the old signs

past years back

Let's play weary Wonderwall our eyes closed

Let's start a hundred bands

Let's drink a thousand glasses of beer

Let's wish they'll play Toto's Africa in the radio

If you come to my place

we can hang out like in the old times

Captain Morgan will bring

past years back

Let's play weary Wonderwall our eyes closed

Let's start a hundred bands

Let's drink a thousand glasses of beer

Let's wish they'll play Toto's Africa in the radio
