Mor ve Ötesi - deli (crazy)

Aranıyor sahibi ruhumun
Tam yerine mi düştüm
Direniyor faili tutkunun
Kızmış ve küçülmüş
Aranıyor sahibi ruhumun
Tam yerine mi düştüm
Direniyor
Direniyor
Direniyor..

Beni büyütün
Ağlatmayın
Sevginiz nerde
Övündüğünüz
Beni büyütün
Ağlatmayın
Sahte düşlerle
Oyalamayın

Bir yarım akıllı bir yarım deli
Dört yanım akıllı bir yanım deli
Herkes akıllı bir ben deli
Bir ben deli..

Beni büyütün
Ağlatmayın
Sevginiz nerde
Övündüğünüz
Beni büyütün
Aldatmayın

sahte düşlerle..
The owner of my soul is looked for
Did I land in the right place?
The perpetrator of my passion is resisting
He’s angry and diminished

The owner of my soul is looked for
Did I land in the right place?
He’s resisting, resisting, resisting
Raise me, don’t make me cry

Where’s the love you’re proud of?
Raise me, don’t make me cry
Don’t waste my time with fake dreams
The owner of my soul is looked for

Did I land in the right place?
The perpetrator of my passion is resisting
He’s angry and diminished
The owner of my soul is looked for

Did I land in the right place?
He’s resisting, resisting, resisting
Raise me, don’t make me cry
Where’s the love you’re proud of?

Raise me, don’t make me cry
Don’t waste my time with fake dreams
I’m one half sane, one half insane
I’m four sides sane, one side insane

Everybody is sane, only I am insane
Only I am insane, only I am insane
Raise me, don’t make me cry
Where’s the love you’re proud of?

Raise me, don’t make me cry
Don’t waste my time with fake dreams
You know.... this is one of the best songs from this Eurovision so far. sure is is American rock with German/northern European rock drum and base. This is the best thing Turkey has given Eurovision since... Sertab Erener.

This song is also one of the few songs this yar that is actually not humorous, either intentionally or not. sure the lead singer looks a bit weird, and they appear to have a johnny Depp wanna be in the band, but I cant make fun of it. I am pissed off with that.

Going Back to Sertab Erener though, her act wasnt to funny either, but what was disturbing was that at the following Junior Eurovision there were a couple acts with young girls trying to belly dance. WRONG!

Ahh, a positive critique (mostly), it seems the curdles have some cream ;)

i said it wasn't bad, but it isn't something you should go out and buy. it is Eurovision... it cant be good

I was watching a comedian in Sydney who went on about how Australians use negatives to say something - when you ask how someone is they say "not bad" (and often the reply is "that's good").

Having said that, no-one said the cream made the curdles good ;)
