Let Me Drink Plenty Of Railway Liquid,
Let Me Drink Plenty Of Railway Liquid,
I Like Summertime, Because It's Warm,
The Winter Is Good For Window Patterns And Storms,
I Cannot Be Seen Behind The Glass And The Snow Covers My Tracks.
When I Was Younger I Re-Arranged The Whole World,
When I Was Younger I Re-Arranged The Whole World,
But Now I Drink My Wine And I Eat My Cheese,
I Fall Without Knowing If It’s Up Or Down,
I Stay On The Top Of The Hill Without Knowing If It’s Here Or There.
We’ve Met Before, I've Heard It's A Fact,
We’ve Met Before, I've Heard It's A Fact,
But Today Your Brain Hums Like Machinery,
It's Too Bright And You Can't See My Eyes,
But Here I Sing, Can You Be In Tune With Me?
There Are Those Who Believe, And Those Who Watch From The Box,
There Are Those Who Believe, And Those Who Watch From The Box,
But When You Wake Up, Conceal Your Fear,
It Wasn't A Ghost, It Was Just A Sound,
The Sound Of A Leaving Train That You Will Miss.
So, Let Me Drink Plenty Of Railway Liquid,
Yes, Let Me Drink Plenty Of Railway Liquid,
I Write These Songs At The End Of December,
Naked, In The Snow, In The Light Of The Full Moon,
But If You Can Hear Me, Than It Wasn’t In Vain.

Sasha Ilyukevich & The Highly Skilled MigrantsLondon, UK
London-based Belarusian troubadour Sasha Ilyukevich and his British band ‘The Highly Skilled Migrants’ create an
incomparable brew of post punk electric energy and topical lyricism. Ilyukevich sings in Russian, his vocals swoop from soft whispered melodies to raucous screams, defying language barriers to deliver songs that are uplifting, intelligent, macabre, romantic and melancholic....more
