For Anyone To Claim

By the sea
There’s a pair of lonely benches
Waiting for
Someone to accompany their
Lonely views
Towards the bright horizon
Why refuse
A chance to reflect and wisen up?
There’s so much, to be seen,
The vastness is soporific
When you’re not
Looking for something specific
The cool, forgiving breeze
And the sun’s caressing rays,
Comfort from the best of both worlds
Cause everything can end in two ways
You listen to
Jack Grisham & The West Coast Dukes
And then U2
As crashing waves enhance the tunes
Going back in time to be with
Her just one more time
Maybe if she were next to you
She’d regret the break-up like you do
By the Sea
The same couple of vacant benches
Each is love
Of no use on a one-way basis
It could be you, it could be her
It could be both in different moments
Any bond grows strong if
Separated by impediments
If it doesn’t work out
You had a taste of being in that frame
And you try again
Love is there for anyone to claim

Stop and dedicate some time to the sun
Your brain needs to breathe, go and have some fun, maybe
Take your slippers off on a beach and run
Freedom is when there’s just you…and the sun
Stop and dedicate some time to the sun, you’re too
Tense to think, too tense to go on
Stress is as fatal as a loaded gun
Your brain is boiling, it’s hotter than the
Don’t you get scared if the sun is not there
With its rays widely spread
It’s up to you where, cause the sun’s everywhere
Remember: the sun’s in your head
It’s just a metaphor
Only a metaphor
It’s just a metaphor, the
Sun is out there
Stop and dedicate some time to the sun
I know it’s hard to do but it CAN be done, and
When the moon is thee only thing you see, just keep in
Mind the moon always gives way to the
Don’t you get scared if the sun is not there
There’ll come a day, so my
Suggestion is you buy a house on the beach, so
You’ll know the sun’s here to stay

Romania is For Sale

Romania is for sale, can’t you tell
They shove it towards hell
It seems like it’s all going to shambles
Romania is for sale, stakes are high
(but it’s) not “try before you buy”
Cause they’re taking more than just samples
We’ve got seaside for the summer
Mountainside for the winter
We won the lottery for land forms
Romania is for sale, and it’s cheap
So come on, it’s yours to keep
Now rumble and kick up a sandstorm
So we have the broke peasants here
Who sold all their acres of harvest
And sent their cattle to abattoirs, to conform
To the new EU regime
We also have the old beggars there
Whose reflections can be seen
In the rims of their employers’ Bentleys
When they stop by to collect
And we have the salesmen up there
Who take turns to run for office
Going once, going twice…
Sold!
We criticize any country
That’s how we take out our envy
Why is theirs clean and ours isn’t?
On escalators we stand on the left
And we’re widely suspected of theft
Romanians are easy to spot, cause they act
Unpleasant
It’s time for our redesign
Buy us and put up a sign
That says “under renovation”
Romania is for sale, not for rent
For someone to represent
Our needs, our values, our vacation nation
So we have the broke pensioners here
And the rich corrupt statesmen there
And the spoiled thugs’ children here
A middle class is hard to spot
And we had nostalgia hit hard
On communist opposers
When certainty of the next meal
Has gone along with their jobs
And we have the salesmen up there
Who take turns to run for office
Going once, going twice…
Sold!
Everyone’s frustrated
On a self-destructive path
We’re not used to giving
Cause everyone else just took from us
Going once
Twice
Sold!
