lyrics

Aivazovsky of seas unearthed
Lobachevsky of night sky vastness
You bore into the firmament
And the rocky earth

Don Quixote of orchestra pits
Armored mechanized company’s Hamlet
Read the regs to your closest friends
But they’re on their way out of here

Your phone number’s useless to me
Wish I could forget your address
And today I feel like singing, that’s all
See if that makes it better

Edison of erogenous zones
Lomonosov of lives too private
You could make everyone rejoice
But you care no more like before

Your phone number’s useless to me
Wish I could forget your address
And today I feel like singing, that’s all
See if that makes it better

Forest dweller of wooded trails
Sitting tight for the southern breezes
Spring is here and your Pegasus
Flutters brand new wings

Dump the compass for armored names
Ditch the map for the sixth sense proper
Thus the chiefs of nomadic strains
Spin the line of time ‘cross terrain

Your telegraph’s useless to me
Wish I could forget your zip code
And today I feel like singing, that’s all
See if that makes it better

Your fax number’s useless to me
Been a while since I remembered
And today I feel like singing that’s all
See if that makes it better

And today I feel like singing, that’s all
See if that makes it better

And today I feel like singing, that’s all
See if that makes it better

Make it better

Make it better

Better?

Better

about

Vezhlivy Otkaz Moscow, Russia

Vezhlivy Otkaz was formed in 1985 with a then-popular reggae/ska blend. Since then, they have gone through numerous stylistic changes,
flirting with everything from free jazz to Russian folk. Their sound, however, has always been unique and immediately recognizable.
Suslov’s rhythmic guitar work and unusual high-pitched vocals gives VO’s music a precisely constructed,
crystal-clear sound.
