Why are we doing this? _ _ _ _

_ _ [A] _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F] We have the most expensive tables [Gm] available in the Soviet Union. _ _
And on the [Ab] other hand, _ because there are no dance records [F] there,
so we make copies [Dm] of those ones brought from _ the West,
make copies on tapes and distribute them _ [Fm] over our _ state for tape jockeys,
and then they are played on parties. _
_ We buy _ _ this tape, which is 1000 meters.
_ So, this [C] is the [D] professional [N] tape, and it's only available in this format.
[E] And then we cut it into _ _ smaller _ _ _ pieces _ [Gm] just for one song.
_ _ [Gb] _ [E] _
Those machines we _ normally [A] buy in shops,
they [Am] are not _ _ _ ready [G]
for club use,
so we have _ to _ _ modernize them a little bit.
I put pitch [A] control on it, _ _ _
and _ _ [G] switches for interrupting [Abm] the sound for special _ _ _ _ _ effects.
[Bm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Ab] I'm just interrupting the sound.
[Gbm] So, [G] it's again, if you _ want to repeat one phrase,
so you can interrupt the [E]
sound with the switches.
_ [B] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Could _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ you show _ [Cm] us music _ _ _ we have heard in IT?
[Eb] _
Techno, [F] techno music.
Yes, you want to hear it now?
[Am] _ _ We _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Eb] _
are interested in techno music.
I recognize.
Yeah?
Yeah, yeah.
And I have something else for you. _ _
_ _ _ _ _
You remember this for sure.
_ _ [Ebm] _
[Eb] Techno house becomes more and more [Ebm] popular on the Soviet [Eb] dance floor now.
[E] That's why we are looking [Eb] for some techno house records.
[Abm] _
_ _ _ I'd like to explain one point about records.
_ [N] _ _ _ Try to imagine, one guilder _ _ in the Soviet Union is about 10 rubles worth.
[Abm] _ _
_ For instance, Gorbachev _ monthly _ _ _ _ wage _ _ _ is 4 _ ,000 rubles. _ _ _
Question, [N] how many singles can Gorbachev buy per month? _
_ It's _ about 26 singles, _ and you understand that Gorbachev will never [Ab] become DJ.
_ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ Many, _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _
many Western people _ recognize us _ _ _ _ as Russians.
Yes, as part from Russia, _ _ but _ it's normal for you,
because you can't remember [G] year _ 1940 [Em] _ [G] when Soviet forces _ occupied three Baltic states,
Latvia, Lithuania [Em] and Estonia.
You are from Latvia.
[G] Yeah, we are from Latvia.
_ [D] _ And we are interested in _ _ _ people _ to recognize [G] us _ as [D] [A] Latvians.
We are [D] from Latvia.
We were part from Europe, and _ we will return to Europe.
How can music _ help _ [G] Latvia in the sort of struggle for [D] independence?
I think if [E] we here show Western [G] people at [D] the disco _ how we work [Dm] with tapes, for instance,
[G] and after that your [D] people ask, where _ _ _ are they from?
[G] _
And _ [D] after that we can talk about our situation. _
_ [Dm] Because your politicians
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ establish contacts with our politicians. _ _
But we establish contacts with young people who are going _ to disco _ and so on. _ _

We are from Latvia.
We are from Latvia.
[B] We are from Latvia.
We have records.
You _ _
_ [Gb] _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _

The dance is_
dancing is only truly international language.
