Alright for the Party 02:57
lyrics
buy track
When all the snow’s completely gone Under the rays of April sun All the cat society pours out into the town And it’s the fun that gets started And it’s alright for the party There’s no time to lose, there’s so much fun to get Just dig this rocking rave-up that you’ll never forget! Alright for the party! (Alright for the party!) Let the party get started! (Party get started!) There’s no time to lose, there’s so much fun to get Just dig this rocking rave-up that you’ll never forget! See those awesome chicks Roses in their cheeks And all the naughty demons dancing in their eyes They’ve got red lipstick They smile at you and you’re gone (you’ll need that smile on and on) The flowers just bloom and the birds just sing It’s these girls who rule this raving spring! Alright for the party! (Alright for the party!) Let the party get started! (Party get started!) No time to lose, there’s so much fun to get Just dig this rocking rave-up that you’ll never forget! And the cats look neat All their six-something feet Radiating good humor and mighty self-assurance They are hep and cool They are nice, but think twice if you want to cross their path Handsome and bold And true and sound It’s good to be a girl when there’re such cool cats around Alright for the party! (Alright for the party!) Let the party get started! (Party get started!) There’s no time to lose, there’s so much fun to get Just dig this rocking rave-up that you’ll never forget! Alright for the party! (Alright for the party!) Let the party get started! (Party get started!) No time to lose, so much fun to get Just dig this rocking rave-up that you’ll never forget!

Take Me for a Long Long Ride 02:56
lyrics
buy track
I have been a good girl for much too long Then something happened to me, and that something’s name was rock and roll And now my lipstick is red And my blue jeans are tight And my man’s got a bike And we’ll ride in the night I’m ready-ready, baby Take me for a long, long ride! It’s got some magic, this hot raving rhythm, it but stormed me in Into this world of black leather jackets, greasy hair and gasoline I wanna cling to you Wanna double your moves Wanna feel us cut through That torrid air Let the road unwind! Take me for a long, long ride! I have been a good girl for much too long Then something’s happened to me, and that something’s name was rock and roll And now the sky is big And the sun is bright And the moon is cool And you’re by my side Let the road unwind! Take me for a long, long ride! Take me for a long, long ride! Take me for a long, long ride!

I Want You by My Side 03:57
lyrics
buy track
I’ve been cruising many roads that run almost into any direction I’ve been meeting people but never have I met someone like you The moment I saw you I was struck by the thought That here’s the one I wanna be with, I really do I want you there, by my side On the road, on the ride I wanna share this whole magic world Just with you Wanna ride along with you across the plains, fields and the mountains Across the cities and the woods in any weather or the time of the day The things appear and disappear, we can watch them, take action or ignore them I want you to be the only constant in this ever-changing frame I want you there, by my side On the road, on the ride I wanna share this whole magic world Just with you I want you there, by my side On the road, on the ride I wanna share this whole magic world Just with you I want you there, by my side On the road, on the ride I wanna share this whole round magic world Just with you

Nightmare 03:56
lyrics
buy track
I had a nightmare That true love is neither true nor is love That it’s a notion that we all just made up A shiny, glorious, beautiful fake I had a nightmare That there’s nothing that lasts under the sun That one and one always makes the same bloody one That you and me are not the two parts of something whole But just two separate selves Simply holding hands With overlapping worlds And no need for words Just like any of the rest Seven billion lonely selves If this is true Then I’m not sure I want to accept it, I won’t Be it illusion, I’ll cling to it until you prove me wrong For it brings me joy, brings me light, the desire to live All is fine: I’m by your side, I smile at you, happy as before I do believe it was just a nightmare and nothing more If you ever think I’m wrong, I won’t be holding you, I’ll let you go If we’re two separate selves Simply holding hands With overlapping worlds And no need for words Just like any of the rest Seven billion lonely selves We’re not two separate selves Simply holding hands With overlapping worlds And no need for words I don’t care about the rest You and me are not just two separate selves

Don't Go Away 02:49
lyrics

The day outside is right and bright but to me now everything is wrong I took your love for granted and now it’s suddenly gone You know just how it happens by chance You blurt out a certain word and cast a certain glance And there you are, all hot and rocking and all alone It was when you left without saying a word That I’ve realized what I must have lost The whole world of ours was blown into pieces with a single blow With all its friendly stars and the shiny sun With all its fun and joy – what have I done! Too late to cry, too late to pray, “Don’t go away!” Now what’s the use repeating to myself, “Be careful what you blurt out!” What’s the use repeating to myself, “Be gentle with the ones around you!” Don’t think yourself completely awesome Lest you turn definitely lonesome Parted with the one you know you cannot live without It was when you left without saying a word That I’ve realized what I must have lost The whole world of ours was blown into pieces with a single blow With all its friendly stars and the shiny sun With all its fun and joy – what have I done! Too late to cry, too late to pray “Don’t go away!” It was when you left without saying a word That I’ve realized what I must have lost The whole world of ours was blown into pieces with a single blow With all its friendly stars and the shiny sun With all its fun and joy – what have I done! Too late to cry, too late to pray, “Don’t go away!” It was when you left without saying a word I’ve realized what I must have lost The whole world of ours was blown into pieces with a single blow With all its friendly stars and the shiny sun With all its fun and joy – what have I done! Too late to cry, too late to pray, “Don’t go away!”

Pick What You Choose 02:30
lyrics

What if you feel that you live in a dream, that is fading completely out What if you feel there’s nothing left at all?.. Don’t take this nonsense! The whole world is around, and it’s real - with its whole a lot a-going’ on All kind of things… Pick what you choose! And if you feel blue and lonely – oh, well! What tomorrow brings you never can tell There’s always reason to live, giving something to the world around Something good that you have If even your dreams go to shatters – so what? Nothing is over: you’ve still got your heart! Keep it open and bright! It will refill with joy and song It will turn you on, you’ve just got to hold on What if the sky is cloudy and grey? It is absolutely not for good! What if the one you love is far away? It’s not forever, either! The ones you miss, they still exist right now - like the sun that is always there Over the clouds, shining for you And if you feel blue and lonely – oh, well! What tomorrow brings you never can tell There’s always reason to live, giving something to the world around Something good that you have If even your dreams go to shatters – so what? Nothing is over: you’ve still got your heart! Keep it open and bright! It will refill with joy and song It will turn you on, you’ve just got to hold on And if you feel blue and lonely – oh, well! What tomorrow brings you never can tell There’s always reason to live, giving something to the world around Something good that you have If even your dreams go to shatters – so what? Nothing is over: you’ve still got your heart! Keep it open and bright! It will refill with joy and song It will turn you on, you’ve just got to hold on

One 03:19
lyrics

Every day the sun comes up and you’re on along you way Saying words, doing things to be well off and okay You’ve got all humanly emotions that you show or have to hide And that heart of yours to act you as a guide In the course of changing seasons and the settings and the frames You may alter all your reasons, all your thoughts and all your ways You keep your mind as sober as a human mind can be But you know that in the heart of yours you haven’t changed a bit So many fates So many lives So many eyes So many people around And there’s but one who sends your heart into wild beats The one and only one who does move you Ever that special one who’s at the bottom of all your thoughts and deeds And it’s sometimes unbearable That this one, he is like the sunshine for you He can distress you or make you sing with joy The one and only one for whom you know you’ll care Until your last breath So many days So many nights So many years It’s always the same There is but one who sends your heart into wild beats The one and only one who does move you Ever that special one who’s at the bottom of all your thoughts and deeds And it’s sometimes unbearable That this one, he is like the sunshine for you He can distress you or make you sing with joy The one and only one for whom you know you’ll care Until your last breath Until your last breath Until your last breath

D’you know the world – the big and complex? With a lot of going on? D’you wanna hear my little secret how I deal with it? I face it with my sunny side I face it with my sunny side, yeah And all the evil things retract And only good ones are attracted to that sunny side of me They say the world is cruel – and I say, it’s also funny! They say it’s full of thorns – and I say, and also honey! They say it’s full of fiends – I say, it’s full of friends! Of course it’s got all kinds of things, so dispute never ends D’you know the world – the big and complex With a lot a-goin’ on? It’s got everything upon it I face it with my sunny side I face it with my sunny side, yeah And all the evil things retract And only good ones are attracted to that sunny side of me Let’s face it with our sunny sides Let us turn to it our sunny sides, yeah And let the evil things retract, among themselves to interact And maybe finally they’ll disappear At all!

Sea Side Rumble 02:47

When the summer hits the town and it’s sizzling hot And the blazing sun seems to be having fun a-frying up the spot I am melting like an ice-cream But I’m more than just okay For it’s about the time for our rockabilly holiday When the summer is at its hottest (Way too hot, way too hot!) And the temperature’s up to forty (Oh, my God, oh, my God!) We pack up our swimming suits and sunglasses (Pack’em up, pack’em up!) And take southbound trains and buses (Take a train, choo-choo train!) Gonna rumble on the beach, we’re gonna rattle and roll We are heading to the sea side rumble! The neat pomps pop up in the crowd every here and there And the kitties look so pretty, and the music rings in the air There ain’t no stopping to the bopping Be it noon or night or sunset or dawn Everybody’s shakin’, rockin’, hoppin’, rollin’, ballin’ on and on When the summer is at its hottest (Way too hot, way too hot!) And the temperature’s up to forty (Oh, my God, oh, my God!) We pack up our swimming suits and sunglasses (Pack’em up, pack’em up!) And take southbound trains and buses (Choo-choo train, choo-choo train!) Rumble on the beach, we’re gonna rattle and roll We are heading to the sea side rumble! When the summer is at its hottest And the temperature’s up to forty We pack up our swimming suits and sunglasses And take southbound trains and buses Rumble on the beach, we’re gonna rattle and roll We are heading to the sea side rumble! When the summer is at its hottest (Way too hot, way too hot!) And the temperature’s up to forty (Oh, my God, oh, my God!) We pack up our swimming suits and sunglasses (Pack’em up, pack’em up!) And take southbound trains and buses (Choo-choo train, choo-choo train!) Rumble on the beach, we’re gonna rattle and roll We are heading to the sea side rumble! When the summer is at its hottest (Way too hot, way too hot!) And the temperature’s up to forty (Oh, my God, oh, my God!) We pack up our swimming suits and sunglasses (Pack’em up, pack’em up!) And take southbound trains and buses (Choo-choo train, choo-choo train!) Gonna rumble on the beach, we’re gonna rattle and roll We are heading to the sea side rumble!

When I choose to hit the city with that handsome cat of mine I pick a dress that’s really pretty, pile my hair up high Ain’t never too much rockin’ and rollin’ for me Gonna shake it up and jump it up as long as I can breathe Never too much rockin’, never too much rollin’ for me! Ain’t never stoppin’, ever boppin’, around and round the clock Guess that I must have been bitten by some jump’n’shakin’ bug Never too much rockin’ and rollin’ for me Gonna shake it up and jump it up as long as I can breathe Ain’t never too much rockin’, never too much rollin’ for me! Ain’t never too much rockin’ and rollin’ for me! Ain’t never too much rockin’ and rollin’ for me! Ain’t never too much rockin’ and rollin’ for me! Ain’t never too much rockin’ and rollin’ for me! Ain’t never too much rockin’, never too much rollin’ for me! Ain’t never stoppin’, ever boppin’, around and round the clock Guess that I must have been bitten by a rockabilly bug Ain’t never too much rockin’ and rollin’ for me Gonna shake it up and jump it up as long as I can breathe Ain’t never too much rockin’, never too much rollin’ for me! Ain’t never thinking of tomorrow, forgetting ‘bout the past Got my man, I’ve got the music and a party that’s a blast Ain’t never too much rockin’ and rollin’ for me Gonna shake it up and jump it up as long as I can breathe Ain’t never too much rockin’, never too much rollin’ for me! Ain’t never too much rockin’ and rollin’ for me! Ain’t never too much rockin’ and rollin’ for me! Ain’t never too much rockin’ and rollin’ for me! Ain’t never too much rockin’ and rollin’ for me! Ain’t never too much rockin’, never too much rollin’ for me! Ain’t never too much rockin’ and rollin’ for me! Never too much rockin’ and rollin’ for me! Never too much rockin’ and rollin’ for me!

Song in My Heart 03:35

There’s a song in my heart Don’t know where it came from, it’s always been there Sometimes it whispers so softly But I hear it clear and loud today And I feel like tweedle-deeing and doo-wopping Skiddle-dum-dee-doy-dee-ding and bopping And I feel I could fly high Like a bird in a cloudless sky Every heart has a song Just take a minute and you’ll hear the tune Let it come up to your lips Let it live, let it grow, let it bloom! And you’ll feel like tweedle-deeing and doo-wopping Skiddle-dum-dee-doy-dee-ding and bopping And you’ll feel you could fly high Like a bird on a shiny day There’re always so many good things to be found around The simple beauty of a flower, marvelous glory of the sunrise They’re easy to notice when you hear that song in your heart So turn it up and You’ll feel like tweedle-deeing and doo-wopping Skiddle-dum-dee-doy-dee-ding and bopping And you’ll feel you could fly high Like a bird on a shiny day! There’re always so many good things to be found around The simple beauty of a flower, marvelous glory of the sunrise They’re easy to notice when you hear that song in your heart So turn it up and You’ll feel like tweedle-deeing and doo-wopping Skiddle-dum-dee-doy-dee-ding and bopping And you’ll feel you could fly high Like a bird in a cloudless sky Like a bird on a shiny day!

This album is a result of many roads, impressions, emotions and experiences, and we are grateful to everyone who left their trace there – from our friends and colleagues to strangers without a name who added random glimpses to the picture to make it complete. And most specially we thank Dumitru Rusu and Yuriy Pushkar for having helped, with all their support, mastery and talent, to incorporate it all into one whole and round entity that we can share with you now.
