    Alright, "Prince Vagrant" by Nama it is. I just love that song. And "Odysseas" too.

    Once upon a time in this city
    Lived people with eyes clear
    Untill one bewitched night all got
    With full wallets and with glasses

    Ever since I live in anguish
    And sleep with my eyes open
    I dream at nights of that swagman on the corner
    Who has neither home nor money

    And if he wanders alone in the evenings
    All throughout the city
    His whole life is one empty pocket
    And one free heart

    Take me with you, swagman
    So I won't lack anything
    To have a house in my heart
    And all the world's palaces in my dreams

    Take me with you, swagman
    So I won't lack anything
    To sleep under the stars
    To be free and a vagrant for once

    Shortly before the tale ends
    Before I wake up for work
    My good Prince Swagman will save me
    From the chain of my ungrateful life

    And then a new day will begin
    And everything will be as before
    But something will have been changed in the air
    From this moment on I will live for myself
