don't get me down donít get me down
better buy me something sweet
today wet wind is blowing
hungry dog has got to eat
sopot restores itself
the season has just finished
sure I ainít gonna meet you today
while peterí s screaming
golden polish autumn
golden polish autumn
golden polish autumn
wojtek's eyes are crazy
he got this wild pill
the world turned electric
nowhere heís got to go now
golden polish ...
boiling over sea will soothe me today
boiling over sea I wanna talk to you
tell me all that I do not know
boiling see ... you know that all!!!
golden polish...
