For thirty odd years I was a newspaper man
I made my living with a pen and a pad
God I miss the smell of paper and the ink on my hands
Been back from the desert for a year or so
I left more in that sand than you'll ever know
Another war was waiting for me when I got back home
In the name of the flag some gave their lives
I'm still living, yeah, Semper Fi
Well, that's my story, what else can I say
Hey, hey
I got a lot to give say can you see
I'm still breathing and my heart still beats
They took the car but they left the lease
Does anybody want what's left of me?
Boarded up the house, they left the keys
Foreclosed on my city, rolled up these streets
But I ain't checking out, I still got my dreams
Does anybody want what's left of me?
Hey, hey, hey, hey
They called us "Dirty Harry", we're a punk rock band
Why they sold old CBGB's I don't understand
All that’s left now are the t-shirts and they come from Japan
I sold my drums to make ends meet
The band broke up, we had to eat
It's the same old shit, it just happens more these days,
Hey, hey
I got a lot to give say can you see
I'm still breathing and my heart still beats
They took the car but they left the lease
Does anybody want what's left of me?
Boarded up the house, they left the keys
Foreclosed on my city, rolled up these streets
But I ain't checking out, I still got my dreams
Does anybody want what's left of me?
Hey, hey, hey, hey
I'm a teacher, I'm a farmer, I'm a union man
It's getting hard to make a living in this hard land
We ain't working in our factories, all those jobs went overseas.
Hey, hey.
Does anybody want, does anybody want,
Does anybody want what's left of me?
I got a lot to give, say can you see
I'm still breathing and my heart still beats
They took the car but they left the lease
Does anybody want what's left of me?
Does anybody want to buy or rent,
Take a chance or place a bet?
I ain't checking out, I still got my dreams
Does anybody want what's left of me?
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
Does anybody want, does anybody want,
Does anybody want what's left of me?
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Does anybody want, does anybody want,
Does anybody want what's left of me?
Richardo Tandy (ELO) klaviatūrų paletė buvo svarbi grupės garso sudedamoji dalis, ypač albumuose „A New World Record“, „Out of the Blue“, „Discovery“ ir „Time“.
Tai 10 balų sistema daug universalesnė nei 5. Be to, jau dabar aktyvumas yra mažokas, grįžus prie penkiabalės sistemos bus labai daug dainų, kurios gauna nulį. Iškritimas bus randomizuotas, o ne žmonių apspręstas.
Tai, kad tamsta nerandi už ką balsuot, dar nėra argumentas daryti visiems taikomas balsavimo taisykles. Be to, juk žinai, jog nebūtina balsuot už viską, gali duot 10, 9, 8, 7 ir 6, likusių penkių balų nebūtina paskirti.
Jau kuris laikas nebebalsuoju LT top 30, nes negaliu išrinkti 10 variantų, o balsuoti už beleką nenoriu. Lietuviai nesukuria tiek gerų dainų, o jei ir sukuria tai čia nepatenka. Siūlau mažinti iki 5 pasirinkimų
