¡Viva Vlad! (Sunny Side Up Mix) 歌詞
¡Viva Vlad! - The Stranglers
Vladimir's own cruel hand had delivered
A blow to himself all right
The Police laughed at his fantastic
Tale of misguided love in a tempting night
For fun
He was bound and taken down to the harbour
On the other side of the island
There he was set adrift in a small dinghy donated
By a frightened fisherman
Guns were drawn and so were corks
And pot shots taken at his floating corpse
Luckily for Vlad their aim was high
And they soon tired when the bullets ran dry
All through the night he floated on and fell asleep
Until dawn arrived and he found himself aground
On a beach with fish around
The waters run deep
He stumbled up from the shore and fell
At the doors of a bar called "Matador"
Vladimir confused and tired hungry with aching head
The bar man
Miguel showed his kindness
And fed and clothed the wretch
Who's first enquiry was in stumbled English :
- "Where am I "
- "Senor you are in Mexico"
Relieved and feeling better Vladimir soon realised
The extent of his good fortune
He decided to change his identity in this Mexican Paradise
In return for his lodgings food and beer
The simple world Miguel
Gave him began to change Vladimir
He basked in the sun and learned to fish
And even learned how to cook a pretty mean tortilla dish
He discovered more and more about his whereabouts
It was the lea side of a resort visited by Yanks and Krauts
On the Ukatem peninsula of Mexico
This was an area famed for its Mayan ruins
Fabulous fishing and tropical weather
One glance at the dusty map hanging behind
The bar at the "Matador" showed Vladimir
Just how close he was to Miami Florida
A place he had always heard
Hushed stories about back in the USSR
A place he became increasingly curious about
A place which he determined
Would be his next destination
