Title : Alcohol Is Free
Artist : Koza Mostra & Agathonas Iakovidis
Music: Hlias Kozas
Lyris: Stathis Paxidis

About Song : The song talks about a drunken driver who is passing through Via Egnatia and the road seems to him like a raging sea.

Lyrics Info

1. Egnatia : The Greek part of the European route E90. It is a motorway in Greece that extends from the western port of Igoumenitsa to the eastern Greek--Turkish border at Kipoi (Notrth Greece). It runs a total of 670 km.
2. Grevena : A town and municipality in Greece, capital of the Grevena regional unit. Grevena has had access to the Via Egnatia since the early 2000s.
3. Mermaid : A popular Greek legend turns Alexander the Great's sister, Thessalonike, into a mermaid after she died. As a mermaid, she lived in the Aegean and when she encountered a ship she asked its sailors only one question: "Is King Alexander alive?", to which the correct answer was: "He lives and reigns and conquers the world". This answer pleased her so she calmed the waters and wished the ship farewell. Any other answer would spur her into a rage. She would raise a terrible storm, dooming the ship and every sailor on board. Song hero named Alekos and is Alexander similar name.
4. Ice Cubes Bomb : meaning that the ice cubes were made by a bomb drink

Lyrics English

The heavy sea found us (when we were passing) through Via Egnatia(1)
Beaufort forces take us on the open sea
The course might be a little wrong, who is playing with the lights?
And the (ship's) fore is heading towards Grevena(2)

In a sea of whisky
(we 're) castaways and who can find us
And the whole earth gets dizzy, staggers

(Someone) with his head like a strainer
And the car like a fishing boat
Who has put it wheel and sail?

Alcohol, alcohol, alcohol is free (x3)
Alcohol is free, alcohol is free

(There's) wave and it's raging
And the mermaid is asking
But Alekos is drunk, fair lady

(There's a) traffic light in the midlle of the sea
Dude, we were found out
Who took my little house far away, far away?

The heavy sea found us (when we were passing) through Via Egnatia
Beaufort forces take us on the open sea
The course might be a little wrong, who is playing with the lights?
And the (ship's) fore is heading towards Grevena

The heavy sea found us (when we were passing) through Via Egnatia
Beaufort forces take us on the open sea
The course might be a little wrong, who is playing with the lights?
And the (ship's) fore is heading towards Grevena

The whisky is not to blame
The ice cubes were bombs(3)
Even the boat eventually has wheels

Alcotest and traffic cop
The road wasn't made for us
A downhill is starting in the sea

Alcohol, alcohol, alcohol is free (x3)
Alcohol is free, alcohol is free

I'm always sort of disappointed in Eurovision in that most entries perform the same kind/genre of songs and we don't get much "different" performances...like for eg. Greece or Finland from 2006 with their heavy metal song.
