Вступление
Written by Georg Kajanus 1978
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
I really love you for your mind,
and I know that we're two of a kind.
I don't go straight for that physical bit,
it always turns out a one-way trip.
But won't you come up to my room,
so we can discuss, say, Egyptian tombs,
or maybe just do a few little steps
from one of our favourite Bolshoi ballets.
[Chorus]
Oh, give me Shakespeare instead of long French kisses,
give me Mozart instead of holding me tight,
give me Tolstoy instead of girl-talk drivel,
like 'Baby, it's alright'.
Give me Shakespeare instead of moonlight flirting,
give me Schubert instead of Hollywood tears,
give me Bolshoi instead of all-night hustle,
give me Henry Moore, Salvador Dali, and an evening at the opera !
[Verse 2]
I really love you as you are,
and without make-up I think that you'll go far,
your clothes hide your figure beautifully,
it makes a lovely change, I mean that sincerely.
I've got so much respect for you,
and I know that you've got respect for me, too,
so let's go and relax on my bed,
so we can confirm all that we've said.
[Chorus]
Oh, give me Shakespeare instead of long French kisses,
give me Mozart instead of holding me tight,
give me Tolstoy instead of girl-talk drivel,
like 'Baby, it's alright'.
Give me Shakespeare instead of moonlight flirting,
give me Schubert instead of Hollywood tears,
give me Bolshoi instead of all-night hustle,
give me Henry Moore, Salvador Dali, and an evening at the opera !
[Bridge]
Writing and painting, poetry and neurology,
those are just some of my favourite things.
Gershwin and Schumann, Newton and Rasputin,
those are just some of my favourite people.
[Chorus]
Oh, give me Shakespeare instead of long French kisses,
give me Mozart instead of holding me tight,
give me Tolstoy instead of girl-talk drivel,
like 'Baby, it's alright'.
Give me Shakespeare instead of moonlight flirting,
give me Schubert instead of Hollywood tears,
give me Bolshoi instead of all-night hustle,
give me Henry Moore, Salvador Dali, and an evening at the opera !
Give me Henry Moore, Salvador Dali,
give give give Shakespeare, o.....oh !
Give me Shakespeare, o.....oh !
Give me Shakespeare, o.....oh !
Give me Henry Moore, Salvador Dali and an evening at the opera !
