Taco Hemingway - 1990s Utopia feat. Kacha z Coals

Intro:*
Do you remember the color of the sea on the Cote d'Azur?
How about the Venetian rose of this tenement house by the canal?
The white of your dress was beautiful (beautiful, beautiful, beautiful)

Act 1:
I will have a flat stomach.
I will have a brisk gait,
[Facial] features like a god,
A piece of clothing made in Italy.
I don't have my own words, but I will have my own SUV.
When you don't have such goods, they say: "You must improve!", how about you?

I'm going to have a nice wedding, like from Hollywood [movies].
A white dress, a white smile, shine of smooth legs.
A slice of bread with margarine, I will do it for him - to make him lose weight.
When he comes back from the woods with [our] son, I'll wash his every dirt away.

You wanted to have a life like in the ad.
The voice-over guy** has always known how to live and where to go.
The [political] candidate claims that it will be normal again.
But what that normality should be? For who?

Act 2:
I will have thick hair.
I will have a male torso,
Energy for more hours, maybe the boss will appreciate me?
I will have the most beautiful font on my business card.
I drink in a pub with a friend, she writes to me: "Where u at?"

He comes back at 3 a.m. sometimes, I'm asking him: "Where have you been at this time?".
Sometimes he hits me, but in a wise way - he tries not in the face.
When I was marrying him, it was supposed to be fun-filled.
But he gave me a second baby and a new dish gel.

Act 3:
Fresh coffee wakes me up.
I dream about a promotion.
My wife asks me: "Where does the aggression come from?".
I tell her: "It's a man's business".
She was supposed to leave me, but she still glances here.
She's drooling, when I tie a [hangman's] loop around my neck - a tie.

I give cereal to children.
For him - caged eggs.
When he leaves for work, I see him for the last time.
I'm kissing my children's foreheads, I'm going into the boiling tub.
Gillette's razor blade glides across the vein, their mother's blood flows out.

In a beautiful life, as if from an advertisement, there is no room for my plans.

*It's a fragment of the old, polish ad of Beckers' paints from 1999.
**It's about voice-over translation - technique in which, unlike in dubbing, actor voices are recorded over the original audio track which can be heard in the background. Popular in Eastern Europe, Mongolia, Vietnam and Cambodia.
