Final

10) How?

Finland 2005

Original title: Why?

 

In the end, only entertainment
Yet our greatest national torment
Every year a new disappointment
But I promise: we won't stop

Evening comes and there is no surprise
It's not us who will sing the reprise
After all these thirty-nine tries
Is there a way to reach the top?

(And they say that our entries are no fun)
Tell me how...
(Tell me how much we'll lose before we've won)
...to change it now

So I'm asking
How? (How?) How?
Will we ever find the right act?
How? (How?) How?
Could we join the ex-Yugoslav pact?
(How?) How?
Bimboes dancing almost nude
Once again would only get us screwed
Can you tell me how?

What's the secret to make things better?
Should we try wearing only feathers
Forgetting music altogether
Would eye candies be enough?

That could be seen as desperation
No one would vote this gloomy nation
So let's start a mass emigration
If we play, let's play it tough

(And they say that our entries are no fun)
Tell me how...
(Tell me how much we'll lose before we've won)
...to change it now

So I'm asking
How? (How?) How?
Will we ever find the right act?
How? (How?) How?
Could we join the ex-Yugoslav pact?
(How?) How?
Bimboes dancing almost nude
Once again would only get us screwed
(Tell me how)

It's not much we're asking for
A top 10 place would do
It has been so hard to score
Just tell me how we can get through

So I'm asking
How?
Will we ever find the right act?
How? (How?) How? (How?)
Could we join the ex-Yugoslav pact?
(How?) How?
Bimboes dancing almost nude
Once again would only get us screwed
Tell me how
