Upper Limit Of Normal - Moses & The Rockin' Juice

UPPER LIMIT OF NORMAL
(С. ВЕРЕЙКИН)

I made my stage debut when I was only ten
I’ve dreamed of being somebody famous ever since then
They laughed at Christmas party when I played an old hen
That’s when I thought: “Gee, I am a genius!”

I started writing poetry before I could talk
My parents were confused, so they had to call a doc
The doctor told my mother: “Well, your son is not a gawk!”
That’s when I thought: “Gee, I am a genius!”

      I thought I broke the rules
      Hey, look at me, you fools!
      But then that doctor said with no excite:

      “Well, Ma’am, your son is no wonder boy!…
      He’s upper limit of normal!
      Just upper limit!”

I knew that I was born to be a superstar
So I borrowed from a friend an old Gibson guitar
The night I learned the intro to “Johnny B.Goode”
That’s when I thought: “My, I am a master!”

Playing every day, not having much fun
Dreaming of the future when I’d be a number one
I learned all riffs and licks by Stevie Ray Vaughan
That’s when I thought: “My, I am a master!”

      I thought I broke the ceiling
      I got a high feeling
      But then my father said with no excite:

      “Well son, you play too loud and out of tune!
      It’s upper limit of normal!
      Just upper limit!”

I’m not casanovanic, but back at high school
All the girls used to say that I was very cool
Never made any date ‘cause they called me a fool
But still I thought: “Yeah, I am a monster!”

Then I met a pretty girl and on the very first night
We came to my place and we took a double ride
Screaming and groaning with ecstasy and pride
That’s when I thought: “Yeah, I am a monster!”

      But later in the morning,
      Forgetting all the groaning
      She looked at me and said with no excite:

      “Well boy, it was nice. Nothing special though…
      Just upper limit of normal!”
