incandescens | cake to bake

Thoroughly enjoyed the Eurovision Song Contest semifinal this evening. Sadly my favourite song so far (Cake to Bake, from Latvia, silly but fun) didn't get through to the final, but several others that I did like got through (Ukraine, Hungary) so it could have been worse.

A pity that some people in the audience felt the need to boo the Russian entrants when it was announced that they'd got through to the final. Hardly fair to the singers.

Next semifinal is on Thursday, and final is on Saturday. Have laid in some sewing/knitting and plumped up the armchair cushions.

I melted the ice of the polar caps,
found the raiders of the lost ark,
solved a case for the genius from Baker Street,
helped to clean the Central Park.
I created the plan for the Chinese wall,
went to desert, made it rain,
swam through a shark tank bloodily,
found Atlantis, by the way... (but today)

I've got a cake to bake – I’ve got no clue at all (bake, bake, bake, bake, bake a cake)
I've got a cake to bake – and haven't done that before (bake, bake, bake, bake, bake a cake)
don't be proud, mate please don't bother,
go, come on and ask your mother,
how to bake, how to bake, bake that cake...

(bake, bake, bake, bake, bake a cake)
(bake, bake, bake, bake, bake a cake)
(bake, bake, bake, bake, bake a cake)
(bake, bake, bake, bake, bake a cake)

I talked to a unicorn the other night,
took me up on a lonely star,
did the moonwalk on the milky way,
realized I've gone too far.
So I questioned the law of gravity,
put the apple back up to the apple tree,
unbelievable: I even learned Latvian,
I know it's so hard to believe... (and today)

I've got a cake to bake – I’ve got no clue at all
(bake, bake, bake, bake, bake a cake)
I've got a cake to bake – and haven't done that before (bake, bake, bake, bake, bake a cake)
don't be proud, mate please don't bother,
go, come on and ask your mother,
how to bake, how to bake, bake that cake (piece of cake)

(bake, bake, bake, bake, bake a cake)
(bake, bake, bake, bake, bake a cake)
(bake, bake, bake, bake, bake a cake)
(bake, bake, bake, bake, bake a cake)

We've got a cake to bake – and got no clue at all
We've got a cake to bake – and haven't done that before
don't be proud, mate please don't bother,
go, come on and ask your mother,
how to bake, how to bake, bake that cake (piece of cake)

Mix some dough, add some love, let it bake, wait for it
Mix some dough, add some love, let it bake, wait for it
Mix some dough, add some love, let it bake, have some cake
Mix some dough, add some love, let it bake

We've got a cake to bake – and got no clue at all
We've got a cake to bake – and haven't done that before
don't be proud, mate please don't bother,
go, come on and ask your mother,
how to bake, how to bake, bake that cake
(delicious)
