Out of the shadows once again, my enemy, my love
Destiny can’t be avoided, no matter how much you’re prepared
But before you left, with golden ring
you proposed to me and didn’t save me from sorcery
and didn’t let my soul be free
Mum, you’ve been telling me not to desire
Mum, at that time I didn’t know where trouble lied
Mum, you’ve been telling me that time is like water
Mum, Mum, Mum, love is trouble
I will throw away my dream and smash it on the floor
How you’ve broken my destiny and set it aside
I will pour girl’s tears like rain
Mum, you’ve been telling me not to desire
Mum, at that time I didn’t know where trouble lied
Mum, you’ve been telling me that time is like water
Mum, Mum, Mum, love is trouble
Mum, you’ve been telling me not to desire
Mum, at that time I didn’t know where trouble lied
Mum, you’ve been telling me that time is like water
Mum, Mum, Mum, love is trouble
Mum, at that time I didn’t know where trouble lied
Mum, you’ve been telling me that time is like water
Mum, Mum, Mum, love is trouble
Never mind the politics...

Not so much Disco Inferno as Village Hall Smoulder..

..flames of course...Burn Baby, Burn.
Half time entertainment
...won't be Boney M performing Rasputin then??
Actually ...
... the TV station that is hosting Eurovision said it was nothing to do with them, and that it was the Eurovision organisers who complained. Blame Russia for the things they actually do, rather than everything that comes up ...
Re: The Russian entry is about 'Mother Russia'
The Russian entry is also written by an Estonian, directed by a Georgian, and sung by a Ukrainian. In Ukrainian.
The idea may be to push unity in the CIS, and plenty of Russians are complaining about the nationality of various people, but it's still a reasonable gesture.
Once again, FFS, blame them for things they actually have done wrong.
