NAD MALOMĚSTSKOU KAŠNOU Vodo, vodo, vodičko, Ty nejsi ty, ty nejsi ty, Nepostojíš maličko – Tyrlityty – tyrlityty – Nemáš stání mi naslouchat, Tečeš, tečeš neustále, Dál a dále, co nejdále, Kovové tě roury ženou, Studna jen tě vyšplouchat Na vyhřátý starý rynk Hlinozvonnou, vychlazenou – Oblou, starý, nový čas Oblékáš obraz přes obraz, Prahnoucí mé žízně čumus, hladinou svou barvoměnnou (hladinou svou tvaroměnnou) měniíš každou vteřinou, přes okraj se kapky přeřinou – konkylandr – konkylandr – hlasu plna’s, plan šumu’s: „Jdi na vandr! Jdi na vandr!“ Z tebe bych pil tak rád! Kdybys přestala protékat, Ztepláš a skalíš se nastokrát, Samá lenost budeš, smrad, Co ti po tom, že mám tě rád – Cákycák – cákycát – Trvale chceš se rozlévat, Sebechvat jsi, sebechvat, Jsi poháněna i to, co pohání, A celek – toť čisté trvání. ↗

My job is to be some sort of music/lyric psychic, to figure out that that's the right song to not fight the lyric. ↗

Listen to the lyrics - we're singing about everyday life: rich people trying to keep money, poor people tying to get it, and everyone having trouble with their husband or wife! ↗

I have had much to learn from Sweden's poetry and, more especially, from her lyrics of the last generation. ↗

I think it was T.S. Eliot who talked about good poetry being felt before it's understood. I believe that. There are some bands where I love their lyrics but I don't have a clue what they're on about. ↗

Gangnam is a territory in Seoul, Korea. I describe it as noble at the daytime and going crazy at the night time. I compare ladies to the territory. So - noble at the daytime, going crazy at the night time - and the lyric says I am the right guy for the lady who is like that. ↗

The best ideas will eat at you for days, maybe even weeks, until something, some incident, some impulse, triggers you to finally express them. ↗
