•01•
saturdays in silesia- rational youth
Bought a quart of vodka
Didn't even stand in line
That's the only thing
That we are never short of
•02•
moonlight & vodka- chris de burgh
Tonight there's a band, it ain't such a bad one
Play me a song, don't make it a sad one
I can't even talk to these Russian girls
The beer is lousy and the food is worse
And it's so damn cold, yes it's so damn cold
I know it's hard to believe
But I haven't been warm for a week
•03•
this is your life- the killers
Crooked wheels keep turning
Children, are you learning?
Acclimatise but don't you lose the plot
A history of blisters
Your brothers and sisters
Somewhere in the pages we forgot
•04•
dancing on the berlin wall- rational youth
Checkpoint Charlie's social climb
Mind the tripwires, watch the mines
On the Alexanderplatz there's a party goin' on
Harry Palmer glasses are required
We're dancing on the Berlin Wall
Cold War Night Life - Neutron Hop
Where the action never stops
If you've got a secret you can sell it at the bar
And yes, we'd love to see your microfilm
•05•
the neighbour- porcelain and the tramps
Hi, I'm your new neighbour get me high
If you need sugar just swing by
Late at night, you know where to find me
I'll be a servant in your dreams
Cutting some paper into shapes
•06•
ruled by secrecy- muse
You're working so hard
And you're never in charge
Your death creates success
And you'll build and suppress
•07•
alpha shallows- laura marling
The grey in this city is too much to bear
The grey in this city is too much to bear
And I believe we are meant to be seen
And not to be understood
•08•
budapest by blimp- thomas dolby
How far away I've drifted
In the face of a tragedy too bleak to know
The death of some grand illusion
All the treasure we pilloried, splendour we stole
They never told you that in school
•09•
communist love song- soltero
It was well conceived in theory
But it doesn't work in life
Comrade has to wonder
Is it ever worth the effort?
•10•
east of the city- gravenhurst
instrumental track
•11•
save the population- red hot chilli peppers
Pistol and its pawn
Sell it to the lexicon
A pistol and its pawn
Blood and border lines be drawn
•12•
snowfalls- t.A.T.u.
Everything goes away
Dying and coming back
Falling into the fray
Forcing you off the track
Speeding and pulling back
Down and then up we go
Into the falling snow
•13•
lonely nation- switchfoot
Singing without songs
Screaming without lungs
I want more than my lonely nation
I want more than my lonely nation
Desperate we are young
Separate we are one
I want more than my desperation
•14•
revolution roulette- poets of the fall
Everybody loves a perfect solution
To beat the odds against the poorest possible substitution
What you see is never what you gonna get
Everybody's playing
Revolution roulette
•15•
soviet march- james hannigan
(song in Russian, translated lyrics below)
Our Soviet Union subjugates the whole world
Like a gigantic bear from the East.
The sheep wander aimlessly, without any cause,
Yet the Soviet bear's on the hunt.
Our brotherhood's a good life, Our generosity is without compare.
All those with us are strong,
All those against us, beware.
It'd be a shame if we had hardships.
To all those around us, it's not worth your while
If we were to turn you to ashes.
We thank you profoundly, and bow to you deeply,
From the mightiest nation in all the world.
•16•
little people- t.A.T.u.
Little people melt like vinyl;
Little people reassemble
Bigger, smaller, better, finer
Little pieces on the table
•17•
komrade kiev- corey hart
I've walked through mother Russia
In the cold of winter time
And I've seen
Every mountain that each man wants to climb
But I know -
Farewell to arms
That one day the sun will shine {C}{C}{C}
•18•
forever young- youth group
{C}{C}{C}{C}
Can you imagine when this race is won
Turn our golden faces into the sun
Praising our leaders we’re getting in tune
The music’s played by the madmen
•19•
sleeping satellite- tasmin archer
{C}{C}{C}{C}
I blame you for the moonlit sky
And the dream that died
With the eagle’s flight
I blame you for the moonlit nights
When I wonder why
Are the seas still dry?
Don't blame this sleeping satellite

I made this over a year ago now, but I've only just got around to uploading it (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧
If I were to redo it now, I think it'd be very different, but it still works, right?
