They came, they sang, we slept. To everyone out there Eurovision, the endless waste of space. But what can you expect from the continent?

Express your opinions on songs, not forgetting the fact that Lordi (Finnish Entry) won he award for most outrageously dressed.

Elaborate!!!

‘Teenage Life‘ lyrics, song performed by Das Sampson

Now hear this

What did you learn at school today ?
That’s what the teachers used to say
But they don’t know
Don’t understand, do they ?
Why do they always give advice ?
Saying “Just be nice, always think twice”
When it’s been a long since they had a teenage life

What did you learn at school today ?
That’s what the teachers used to say
But they don’t know
Don’t understand, do they ?
Why do they always give advice
Saying “Just be nice, always think twice”
When it’s been a long time since they had a teenage life

Dwelling on the past, from back when I was young
Thinking of my school days and trying to write this song
Classroom schemes and dreams
Man they couldn’t save me
Cos my days were numbered when I signed down on “Avy”
Teenage kicks running out what could we do
I still show respect to my boys who made it through
And getting told off Mr T how my life would be
Then giving him a signal
So everyone could see
Sunshine and shade
Those girls I’d serenade
Thinking of those sixth form chicks that misbehave
Hoping that those days would go on and on forever
Every day something new
Just friends running together
But suddenly school ends
Your teenage life gone
All your mates are growing up now
They’re moving on
And now I’m looking back
I’ll tell you what I know
Do you listen to your teacher ?
No I don’t think so

“What did you learn at school today?”
That’s what the teachers used to say
But they don’t know
Don’t understand, do they ?
Why do they always give advice
Saying “Just be nice, always think twice”
When it’s been a long time since they had a teenage life

Now if you treat the kids fine, together they will shine
Ooh ooh ooh shine
And if you give the kids time, they won’t do the crime
Won’t do the crime

Now my bad old ways
Were during my school days
Messing on those grade A’s
My life is just a haze
I’m going through the struggle
Five ten and kicking back
So I could lock my flow
Lace it up now on the track
Oh yeh I felt the pain
Whilst chasing all the fame
I’m being told I’m nothing
Just a player in the game
But now I walk tall
Stand proud for you to see
I’m driving these fast cars
It’s five stars for me

“What did you learn at school today?”
That’s what the teachers used to say
But they don’t know
Don’t understand, do they?
Why do they always give advice
Saying “Just be nice, always think twice”
When it’s been a long since they had a teenage life

‘BlodyMary’

Un “BlodyMary” por favor …

Estribillo (instrumental)

Juro por dior que no quise
pero está pegao
todo fue limpio y certero

Yo era la otra, la tonta
Será pringao
chulito de medio pelo

Maravillosa me puse
lo he dejao tirao
chico martini perverso

Mucha palabra de lava
tiene el desgraciao
pero éste a mí no me engaña

Puedo ser de barrio bajo underground pero mi corazón
se te ha declarao
duty free, duty free, duty free…

Un “BlodyMary” por favor …

Estribillo (instrumental)

Paso bailando las horas
y el desesperao
en la barra toma que toma

Me echa miradas que matan
lo tengo picao
por dentro muere y yo loca

Puedo ser de barrio bajo underground pero mi corazón
se te ha declarao
duty free, duty free, duty free…

Un “BlodyMary” por favor …

Estribillo:
Hubiera o hubiese habido
un buen vacilón
pintaba pluscuamperfecto
pero tu tiempo mira se terminó
la noche empieza de nuevo

La luna cambió de rumbo
y me ví dando tumbos
buscando el ambiente frenéticamente,
y mira qué punto que tiene el asunto
de nuevo tú y yo frente a frente

Puedo ser de barrio bajo underground pero mi corazón
se te ha declarao
duty free, duty free, duty free…

Un “BlodyMary” por favor…

Estribillo:
Hubiera o hubiese habido
un buen vacilón
pintaba pluscuamperfecto
pero tu tiempo mira se terminó
la noche empieza de nuevo

Hubiera o hubiese habido
un buen vacilón
pintaba pluscuamperfecto
pero tu tiempo mira se terminó
la noche empieza de nuevo

Un “BlodyMary” por favor…

‘Bloody Mary’

One Bloody Mary please…

I swear Dior
That I didn’t want to
Everything was clean and precise

I was the other woman, the stupid one.
Half pint underground
I was stunning
I left him high and dry
He has the gift of gab

I can be an underground low life
But my heart has spoken:
Duty free, duty free, duty free….

One Bloody Mary please…

I dance the hours away
And he desperately
Drinks at the bar
He sends me looks
That could kill
I baited him
He dies inside
And I’m insane

But your time runs out
The night begins all over again
The moon-changed course
And I saw myself tumbling
Frenetically looking for the atmosphere
And the point is
You and I are face to face again.

I can be an underground low life
But my heart has spoken:
Duty free, duty free, duty free….

One Bloody Mary please…

Fire, but (still) cold

I try to forget you
Don’t burden my days
Everything in vain
I can’t understand

Tired of forgetfulness
Time kills my memories
Fire but cold
Emotionally involved
Emotionally involved
Trying to restrain
Afraid of my heart
Still under pain

Fire,
But cold
It’s impossible
But I lost hope
Honey,
Help my love to leave
Fire, but cold
Tiredness can’t hold
Feeling your lips
Vanished it seems
‘Cause I still love you

Vain everything
Looking for a station
My heart stops at you
All my thoughts and dreams
Hope to come true,
Longed for kisses, but in vain
Can’t live without you
Afraid of my heart
Still beating for you

WITHOUT YOU

I’ve never felt before
At the very end of the road,
Now I know that’s where I am.
There’s nothing we can save
I know that now
I’ve lost the match
I’m at the end.
And I know there’s no answer.
I’ll find some way
To leave this world without you
Without you
Without you
From heaven I’ve sunk down to hell
Without you
Without you,
The nights are so long,
Alone in my bed,
Without you
Without you
I don’t know how I can escape
I want to get away from reality
Forget my past
Just walk on
Although I know that in the end
I’ll win.

Forgetting you makes me feel so bad
It’s difficult not to remember what has passed,
Knowing that what awaits me is very hard
Without you by my side
I know I cannot dream,
The past is gone and won’t come back
I must look forward
I must learn to love without you

Without you
Without you
From heaven I’ve sunk down to hell
Without you
Without you,
The nights are so long
Alone in my bed
Without you
Without you

I don’t know how I can escape
I want to get away from reality
Forget my past
Just walk on
Although I know that in the end
I’ll win.

Hard Rock Hallelujah!
Hard Rock Hallelujah!

The saints are crippled
On this sinners’ night
Lost are the lambs with no guiding light

The walls come down like thunder
The rocks about to roll
It’s the Arockalypse
Now bare your soul

All we need is lightning
With power and might
Striking down the prophets of false
As the moon is rising
Give us the sign
Now let us rise up in awe

Rock ’n roll angels bring thyn hard rock hallelujah
Demons and angels all in one have arrived
Rock ’n roll angels bring thyn hard rock hallelujah
In God’s creation supernatural high

The true believers
Thou shall be saved
Brothers and sisters keep strong in the faith
On the day of Rockoning
It’s who dares, wins
You will see the jokers soon’ll be the new kings

All we need is lightning
With power and might
Striking down the prophets of false
As the moon is rising
Give us the sign
Now let us rise up in awe

Rock ’n roll angels bring thyn hard rock hallelujah
Demons and angels all in one have arrived
Rock ’n roll angels bring thyn hard rock hallelujah
In God’s creation supernatural high

Wings on my back
I got horns on my head
My fangs are sharp
And my eyes are red
Not quite an angel
Or the one that fell
Now choose to join us or go straight to Hell

Hard Rock Hallelujah!
Hard Rock Hallelujah!
Hard Rock Hallelujah!
Hard Rock Hallelujah!

Rock ’n roll angels bring thyn hard rock hallelujah
Demons and angels all in one have arrived
Rock ’n roll angels bring thyn hard rock hallelujah
In God’s creation supernatural high

Hard Rock Hallelujah!

Every song is a cry for love
Every voice can rise above
So don’t be afraid
Just show what you’re made of
Sing it out. Every Song is a cry for love

Every day is a brand new start
Every night you could fall apart
Any time you doubt
The truth that’s in your heart
Sing it out. Every song is a cry for love

Chorus
Being strong, being tough
Never tender always rough
It was never enough for me
In the dead of the night
Only love can old you tight
Sing it out. Every song is a cry for love

Every kiss is a call for home
Every touch means you’re not alone
You don’t always have
To make it on your own
Sing it out. Every song is a cry for love

Chorus
Being strong, being tough
Never tender always rough
It was never enough for me
In the dead of the night
Only love can old you tight
Sing it out. Every song is a cry for love
Sing it out. Every song is a cry for love
Sing it out. Every song is a cry for love

Devenir, Comme seule raison de re'sister
Tenir, e'lever le ton pour exister
C,a se dit c,a se chante facilement
Mais mon refrain aujourd’hui c’est
Il e'tait temps qu’enfin le ciel se rappelle de moi
Il e'tait temps enfin une tre^ve ma chance a moi
Il e'tait temps Il e'tait temps

Courir apre`s l’ide'al c,a vaut le coup
Souffrir . Oh quel re'gal quand c’est un re^ve au bout
C,a se dit c,a se chante facilement
Mais mon refrain aujourd’hui c’est
Il e'tait temps qu’enfin le ciel se rappelle de moi
Il e'tait temps enfin une tre^ve ma chance a moi
Il e'tait temps Il e'tait temps

J’y croyais plus
J’ y croyais plus d’ailleurs j’ai du mal a le croire encore
Il e'tait temps qu’enfin le ciel se rappelle de moi
Il e'tait temps enfin une tre^ve ma chance a moi
Il e'tait temps Il e'tait temps

Il e'tait temps pourvu que c,a reste
Et si c,a ne dure pas
Je serais heureuse de dire aux enfants
Que j’y ai touche' une fois dans mon temps

Il e'tait temps…

THE TIME HAS COME

Become, as the unique reason to resist
Hold out, raise the voice to exist
You can say it, you can sing it easily
But today my chorus is this one:

Time has come for heaven to remember me at last
Time has come, a rest finally, it's my own chance
Time has come, time has come.

Run, after an ideal, it's worth it
Suffer. Oh what a treat when a dream is at the end
You can say it, you can sing it easily
But today, my chorus is this one:

Time has come for heaven to remember me at last
Time has come, a rest, finally it's my own chance
Time has come, time has come.

I didn't believe in it anymore
I didn't believe in it, and it's still hard for me believing it today
Time has come for heaven to remember me at last
Time has come, a rest finally, it's my own chance.

The time has come, let's hope it lasts,
And if not
I'll be glad to tell the children
I was able to touch it, once in my lifetime.

The time has come...

True, true. However I would say that the best smelling crap would be Finland, Russia and Sweden in that order.
Romania had an agreeable beat. *stomps*

But some crazy whack outfits. I would've voted for them just for the costumes. And to be fair, at least for Eurovision fare, it wasn't overly bad (apart from the singer).

Of course, that's if I voted. Which I never will, because Eurovision actually makes me want to kill myself.

I'm quite fond of Eurovision. It's tacky and awful (especially this year; like when the presenters floated down from the ceiling...) but it has a certain charm.

I wonder what Finland will do with it next year? And I wonder how many cheesy psuedo death-metal types will try to jump on the bandwagon, lol.

I found Finland hilarious! Axe-wielding demonic trolls won a popularity contest filled with freaks! And, Wogan's (the voice of reason, and sarcasm) commentary as excellent as ever. The show itself was shit though. I found the fathers for justice boycott of the Lotto much more interesting.

I was all about Lithuania winning, even though I knew it was not likely... Still, ranking sixth is pretty darn good in my books.

Finland winning is not even close to what I wanted...

Did anyone else notice a Canadian flag waving prominently during the semifinal? Now if we could only get to perform (Rather then sending in our people disguised as Swiss singers)...


like when the presenters floated down from the ceiling
I was expecting them to emerge from the icarus-decorated sphere.
