God save those 1980's buildings
And 1970's too
'cause all that ugly architecture
it leads me back to you
Those north Helsinki suburbs
They meant nothing to me then
But one night on her matress
Made me go back there again
God save those architects of ours
The perfect and the good
But especially the bad ones
The missunderstood
who built these ugly buildings
This ugly concrete house
For us to fill with our stuff
for us to fill with love
So let's go!
Hey sing your heart out
For this town
And these buildings
That surround it
And those silent men who never get praised enough
Sing your heart out
Hey sing it out
We try to love these small apartments
'Cause they're all we can afford
And all the little cracks in the ceiling
'cause they keep the rent so low
God save these ugly buildings
Our shelter from the cold
For us to fill with our stuff
For us for making love
So let's go!
Hey sing your heart out
For this town
And for these buildings
That surround it
And those silent men who never get praised enough
Hey, sing your heart out
Hey, sing it out
And keep their children away from harm
And smooth the wringles from the foreheads of those women that they love
And keep their hands from getting smashed
Oh, save these buildings
Oh, save them all!
