Television personalities was average but the Wipers shine just enough for the whole team.
1981 for me then 😉

hmmm

Umm, I wanna vote for Loveless because of the albums as well as all the work he put in, although if I am being honest I should probably vote for 75.

Abstain 🤣

(Might vote later)

Sweet! 😄

Anyway these aren't the most professional translations of course, but it should give at least a good idea of what the songs are about. When there are stars (*) in the text, I try to clarify under the lyrics, what does it mean. Also added YT links for all.

1. Šarlo Akrobata - Ona se Budi
Title means: "She's waking up"

She is turning 18 (years old) in June,
Doesn't know what to do when she graduates high school,
People are so mean, they are looking at her breasts,
People are so mean, they are looking at her tan.

She's waking up

Whole of her life, they fill her head with something
Little dolls, little dresses and skirts, these are the things for the girls,
To play »elastics«*, she never learned to do,
And cooking the dinner, that has never been her thing.

She's waking up

She has nobody who would say to her:
»You are mine, you are mine, you are…«

People are wondering, is she able to think?
People are wondering, is she allowed to know?
People are so mean, they're looking at her breasts,
People are mean, looking at her tan.

She's waking up

* I don't know what this is called in english: I think he means this

2. Krokodili Dolaze
(Crocodiles are coming)

It's night. I'm alone. Come back! I am scared.

'Cause I don't want to be alone. I don't want to be alone.
Because the crocodiles are coming.

Who are they?
What do they want?
Why are they leading me,
Away from freedom?

'Cause I don't want to be alone. I don't want to be alone.
Because the crocodiles are coming.

There's nothing left now.
Nobody left around.
Crocodiles have eaten all.
Both you and me.
And him, and her.

And I don't want to be alone. And I don't want to be alone.
Because the crocodiles are coming.

3. Oko moje glave
This song, I don't understand at all. Also, the lyrics go beyond my knowledge of serbian language, so I had to help myself with google translator. But in any case, the lyrics are just weird.
(Around my head)

Sick men running 'cross the park, to the »square«*
They carry sandals under arms and carry false teeth in their hands
Follow them to the newstand in the shadow,
Buy them better stuff, buy them everything they want

They are half awake, but also half insane
The barking glass calms their swollen nerves,
And the roaring iron finds them absolutely guilty,
Of the folded arms, hands, eyes and the wounds they have.

Around my head!

They wake me up and ask for something I had hidden from them,
Whorl bones, a whole skeleton of a dead body
I stand up and yell: »Brothers, the cast ** is in the drawer!«
They jump up, surround me, say: »He is mocking us!«

They greet with a yell, every new part of the body,
That they rip from me, while straining their foreheads.
Sometimes it is hard, after years and after dark,
To remember why someone would winch their knife again!

Around my head!

* as in a city square – piazza; or maybe he means »market« (it's the same word)
**a cast, as in – the plaster. You know when you break a bone?

The next one is in German which I don't understand. But the title means Boredom over Europe.

5. Šarlo Akrobata - Mali Čovek
(The Little Man)

The little man wants across the line.
Across the line, but he's not allowed to!
Suffocated by the prescribed norms,
Across the line is where his place is.

(and then repeats lines)

6. Plastika
(Plastic)

I, I wear a plastic suit. And plastic is my food, maybe I am plastic too! (x2)
I, I live in my own skyscraper*. I will open my door to you, so you can be the same as me. (x2)

Plastic, plastic (…)

* the word he uses, »soliter«, I'm not sure if it really means skyscraper. I think it's a big building, as in a block of flats.

7. Idoli - Maljčiki
(Russian for "Boys")

Dawns on fire, wake me from my dream
The workday mornings, smoke from the chimney,
The song echoes, young workers,
The steel mornings, rushing to the factory

My dear friends, hardworking and happy,
Riding bicycles, they're all proud of it.
My dear friends, hardworking and happy,
We will bring you the new victories.

The sun is warm now, the wind is tickling,
The morning dew, the scent of the soil
The sun is warm now, …
The rich harvest, I look forward to

this is a spoken part in Russian which I saw the serbian translation of, but I'm not sure if it's totally accurate:
Afternoon clubs* that I will go to,
I will find my girl there too.
The blonde girl, I'm in love with her,
And I will take her, for a ride with my boat (not sure here)

And I keep fueling the tall furnaces
The ore is melting, I am happy now
The song echoes, the whole factory sings
The song echoes …
* clubs, as in... the reading/literature circles and such... Or chess clubs in school. I don't know what the word for that is in english.

8. Električni Orgazam – Zlatni Papagaj

(Golden Parrot)

Chorus:
(Golden Parrot), daddy pays for all the bills
(Golden Parrot), because we are snobs

We like our women fancy, lipstick on, and nicely dressed.
And we have our »business« suits, haircuts and the shoes.
We wear expensive feathers, ironed out and smelling nicely
GSP* disgusts us, we'll arrive faster with our cars

(chorus 2x)

Our heads are empty, but who cares for that anymore?
'Cause money is what matters, and nothing else interests us.
We dress ourselves in Rome**, and we have the Diners cards.
»cream of society« *** is our class, all the others are worth less.

(chorus 2x)

We can't stand the punks or the smelly hippies.
We might be sterile, but it's none of our fault.
Because our daddies and our mamas, shower us with their money
And let others think for us, we're not capable of that at all.

(chorus)
* Belgrade public transportation system
** not sure if that was the name of some fancy clothing line/store, or he just meant the city
*** literal translation is »cream society« but I'm not sure if that means anything in english

9. Idoli – Amerika
(America)
But I say where – but where is America?
(repeated gazillion times)

10. Električni Orgazam - Vi

(You (plural))

You, who peek out of pockets of the skyscrapers*,
Hidden by the net of loneliness.
Follow this grayness, watch the human faces.
They might remind you of your past, your past.

You, prisoners of money,
You, who are dragged down by dead rivers of life,
Stop.
Are you not alone enough?
* same as above with Plastika

11. Šarlo Akrobata - Niko Kao Ja
(Nobody like me)

repeats the title ^.

Maybe a better translation for the way they sing it would be: "No one, no one. Quite like me!"

Cheers!

Wow 😮 That's awesome.

1981.

Partly because of the inconsitency of 1975, partly because of the consitency of 1981, mostly because Loveless turned me on to an album I've really enjoyed these last couple of days.

Ah see that's nice, the kind of reaction I was hoping for.

(Though I thought it would be more like.. "get a life!", or "don't you have better things to do" 😨 )

I can't see the youtube videos, which singles were used for 1975?

As for the albums, Blood on the Tracks and My Life in the Bush of Ghosts and depending on my mood I could vote either way.
