I too feel the Elay lyrics are quite nice.. Well one thing that didnt
fit in was 'Lets teach to Charlie Chaplin'. If there is one comedian
who didnt need a language to make people smile it was Chaplin..
Other than that, the lyrics are quite nice for this song.. 'Finally a
indian song talking about Saving Gaia'
Cheers,

Hi All,
I guess "Elay" songs has excellent lyrics because of the "Out of box"
imagination along with the facts. For an example....
"Katrin mugathil kariyai poosa vendaam... 'CAR'rai vittu cycle vaangi
parapoom"
(Let's stop spoiling the Air... and let's start using cycle)
"Karuppu kalaril vishakkola vendam... Karumbu juice, Elanyee vaagni
kudippoom"
(Stop drinking poison"Cola" (Pepsi & Coke... and let's drink
Sugarcane juice, tender coconut)
Do you think this lines are not good? What a revelutionary thought...
which is neccessary at this point of time to save the environment.
I am very much satisfied with the music and lyrics in this song.
