1.Lowlander's Blues

My hands are golden grain
Sunflower is my head
My hands are golden grain
Sunflower is my head
While Danube flow still
Its silver drops caress me

The sun is spreading its warmth above us
Under an old oak's tree I'd like to lie
The sun's dispersing its heart into us
Under an old oak's tree I'd rather lie
My double bass is happy again
Together we ride night and day

While that train is rolling lonely
Dragging away the day, carrying risen thrill
Fields are passing by, time's passing slowly
The soul is still, the sight is tranquil

While that train is slowly rolling
No one knows what tomorrow's gonna be
Passengers are snoring while dusk is falling
A night bar cries for me

2. Early in the Morning I'm Awaken by the Day

Early in the morning I'm awaken by the day
I can hardly see and I'd rather stay
The riot from the streets reechoes reaching my ear
I say: “All right” seeing I'm still here

The wild beasts growl, howl outside
I wait to cross to the other side
I yawn while the blues is on my mind
As I walk, the past stays behind

I wander down the street on my feet
At the bakery I stop to eat
And as I breathe in the exhaust gases
I'm drowned into the river of faces

Downtown I meet old mates
Behind the corner I am out of sight
The east wind slaps me whistling sadly
I walk, the autumn's beating badly

At the campus it's crowded again
I sneak around seeking shelter from the rain
At “Sonja's” someone always waits for me
To join the intoxicated journey

3. In the Bottle

Living in the bottle livin’ Boka blues
Livin’ in the bottle, talkin’ with my muse
Ain’t got no money, ain’t got no booze
Livin’ in the bottle, ain’t got nothin’ to lose
Down in the dining room all the people watchin’ the news

Night is slowly comin’ down
Crazy people’re walkin’ around
Soon you’ll gonna hear the sound
Of hungry mouths
Singin’ the same old Boka blues

Livin’ in the cellar, talkin’ with some ghosts
Dying on a bed between the damp walls
Run for a pound, wait for the call
Workin’ as a waiter near a river shore
Stay out of trouble, survive on the northern coast 



4.It Hurts Me Too

At a lonely rail waiting for a train
All of my love, babe, it's all in vain
When things go wrong, so wrong with you
It hurts me too

You said goodbye and vanished somewhere
All of my wagons are traveling nowhere
In the evening when the sun goes down
You're on my mind

Life has never been kind to me
Life has never taken care of me
Changing bars to relieve the pain
But remains the same

5. Down by the Lake

Down by the lake where the sky is blue and clear
T' was where she waited for her dear
He promised to return, very, very soon
With a diamond ring that shines like the silver moon
He promised to return, very, very soon
With a diamond ring that shines like the silver moon

The dawn had broken, her eyes were sad and filled with pain
She was waiting, but was waiting in vain
By the side of the lake memories remained
Of happiness that wind had blown away
By the side of the lake memories remained
Of happiness that wind had blown away

If you ever fall in love with a young man you ought to be aware
‘cause he'll leave you saying that he doesn't care
everything he knows, to no one he belongs
nor can he be faithful much too long
everything he knows, to no one he belongs
nor can he be faithful much too long

6. Hellish Day

I wake up after a restless night
No one is lying by my side
I have no strength to look up at the light
Emptiness is rising like the tide

As I'm looking down the lowland
My thoughts are traveling far away
To go on I need someone's hand
There goes another hellish day

The bad dream I have dreamed
The dark has taken you I have seen
I wake up and realize in fear
No longer are you
my beloved, my dear

7. When Magpies Stare at Me

All night long I've been rambling like a hound
Streets are deserted, comfort can't be found
All night long I've been sneaking like a dog
I can't find the way through the fog

All night long rain's been falling
My eyes are wet, my music keeps rolling
And as I've done a hundred times before
I've knocked a beer back behind a store

I love sliding down the rails
When the sounds of life perform symphony
And when the clouds tell tales
When magpies stare at me

And nothing else is what is used to be
The words are blind, echoing absurdly
And nothing else is what is used to be
We flow into twilights nervously

I love drifting through the plains
Where the wind embraces grain tenderly
And the river flows throughout my veins
Where the sky respires endlessly

I like drinking heavily
Singing songs, drifting endlessly
Crawling, howling constantly
Watching life laughs at me

Instrumental



9. Memories of Srem

Train at 13:15
Changing in In d ija
Fruška Gora stays by the side

Red buildings are just coming in sight
Released dreams are waiting for the flight
Rainy day for a bon voyage

The music has led me away to the south
The day is wet, but there's drought in my mouth
Old brown gate at the end of the road

I'm thinking of you watching through the window
From the depth where the bones are blue
Comes the rain and I know what to do
My tired footsteps are coming to you

Srem, Srem, Srem,
Memories of Srem,
Srem, Srem, Srem,
I can't break this chain

Time's marching on and I hear its sound
Rain is pouring to the ground
That is you that I couldn't have found

Srem, Srem, Srem
Memories of Srem,
Srem, Srem, Srem
I left her in the lowland

10. Defeated on My Feet

At the corner of the street
I ' m defeated on my feet
Talking with you, digging up the past
You say: »Better days are to come,
A hundred mornings, a hundred suns«
But the sun of our light is fading so fast

Time passes in vain
Happiness has gone away
Burdon as heavy as the chains
I drag along my way

I'm standing all alone
Wondering which way to go
Thoughts are comming like the waves
I'll put sadness in the suitcase
Dusty roads are gonna swallow my face
Leaving toward flowers and graves

Time passes in vain
Traces fade in the sand
Me and my coat are gonna take the first train
And travel across the land

Time passes in vain
Happines has gone away
Every night and every day
Blues in my brain

11. A White Spot

I'm looking at a white spot on the wall
Only wishing to give it my soul
I'm looking at the white spot on the wall
Time is taking my thoughts
I don't know if the darkness is going to fall

The same scenes are running through my head
Throughout my hands the day is passing so sad
I don't know if the morning's going to dawn
Or will, as cold as emptiness,
This night burry my body in my bed

In the depth of mine
ruins of time are sleeping
Shadows crawl on the wall,
Another day is gone
can't you hear the wind is whipping
I feel its breath in my bones
