I'm on my way to Bishkek Gonna rock this city till the break of dawn I'm on fire like Victory Square I'm riding high like Manas reborn Bishkek, Bishkek (Bishy Bishy Bishkek) The city that never sleeps Bishkek, Bishkek (Bishy Bishy Bishkek) The place where my heart keeps beating I hit the streets and start to roam The energy here is like no other place I've ever known The whole market moves to the beat Leave me alone; this lady will pay for everything Bishkek, Bishkek (Bishy Bishy Bishkek) The city that never sleeps Bishkek, Bishkek (Bishy Bishy Bishkek) The place where my heart keeps beating This city's got a pulse that's hard to ignore I can't help but feel it deep down in my core I'm not ready to say my goodbyes The jewel of Kyrgyzstan, my oh my oh my Bishkek, Bishkek (Bishy Bishy Bishkek) The city that never sleeps Bishkek, Bishkek (Bishy Bishy Bishkek) The place where my heart keeps beating When I return to you My face splits into a grin I know just what we'll do Bishkek all over again Bishkek, Bishkek (Bishy Bishy Bishkek) The city that never sleeps Bishkek, Bishkek (Bishy Bishy Bishkek) The place where my heart keeps beating

The bottle says stress resist, ‘Sounds like bliss’ I think, As I lather, rinse, repeat, But the stress doesn’t fade, I just smell a little more great, L’Oreal should be fucking ashamed. And once I’m dried down, I spray myself with Lynx, The advert told me it makes the ladies wink, But when I came downstairs, “You smell like a teenager” My wife said as she winced. Marketing is for fucking liars I said marketing is for fucking liars So I head to work, grumbling away, And I need a lift to brighten my day, I grab a Red Bull to give me wings, When the caffeine hit I felt a surge, Until the tiredness hit me like a curse, “You’ve got diabetes, it’s all that sugar,” The Doctor said as he shook his head. Now my stress is building, I’m not resistant, And my odour only repels the ladies, The caffeine gave me a kick but now could kill me, All these adverts are lying to me. Marketing is for fucking liars I said marketing is for fucking liars And your home is filled with useless things, Because the internet tells you to live like kings, But your income just can’t stretch that far, And your wife has left you, she’s taken the car, So you wake up alone, There’s no pictures on the wall, The dark drab room has no personal touches at all, The kids have gone hungry, and they’re freezing at night, Because you didn’t pay the gas bill, and the fire won’t light, But you own lots of things, so that must be nice, When your home’s repossessed and you’ve nowhere to go, “Capitalism’s a lie,” you quietly whisper, As you beg for loose change, On the street where your wife lives with some guy named Trevor.

You've been through the wringer You've been through the fire You've been through the worst You've seen your own demise But at this point, I would normally perform fundoscopy To see if you're still alive inside At this point, I would normally perform fundoscopy To check if your vision is still clear At this point, I would normally perform fundoscopy To see if your light is still here You've been battered and bruised You've been knocked down to the ground Well I've been knocked down But I've always gotten up again So at this point, I would normally perform fundoscopy To see if you've still got the will to fight At this point, I would normally perform fundoscopy To check if your vision is still clear At this point, I would normally perform fundoscopy To see if your light is still here Look into your eyes, how much more can you take? Just keep on fighting, for goodness sake Don't let this world get you down Seeing is believing, or so I've found At this point, I would normally perform fundoscopy To check if your vision is still clear At this point, I would normally perform fundoscopy To see if your light is still here

Great girders frame it – the lights and the shadows In relative quiet, a room with vast windows The work of a generation of our predecessors It’s not wholly quiet Young people visit and study and pass on to chambers From time to time someone rearranges Some furniture To make it more harmonious For some moments during these lectures we have looked together into one of the rooms of the house called ‘music’. We rearrange the furniture
