Small Town (Småstad)

Hello good afternoon!
Take a while and gather the sticks
It's spring in town
come follow and see all the girls
I'm waiting by Picasso
Come and meet me in a while
April has just begun
and the air is salt and curious young
And I was born in a small town
I grew up
fell in love in a small town
No matter how I twist
and I turn myself
I come back again
And I feel peace in a small town
My friends live in a small town
No matter how I bend
and I prize myself
it becomes a small town again
Good afternoon hello!
Come and write a greeting
on the walls
It's autumn in town you'd better run fast
between the showers
I want to show you my streets
where the time has gone to fast
I want to show you my roots
where an old man's feet
have come and gone
And I was born in a small town
I grew up
fell in love in a small town
No matter how I twist
and I turn myself
I come back again
Everything I can
is traces from a small town
Everything I do depends on a small town
No matter how I bend
and I prize myself
it becomes a small town again
And I was born in a small town
I grew up
fell in love in a small town
No matter how I twist
and I turn myself
I come back again
Everything I can
is traces from a small town
Everything I do depends on a small town
No matter how I bend
and I prize myself
it becomes a small town again
And I breathe air
from a small town
Am child of sea and coast
and a small town
No matter how I twist
and I turn myself
it becomes my small town again

Go & Fish! (Gå & Fiska!)

Nothing's like it use to be
It's the same from day to day
Everything follows the same pattern
Look at the city from my window
People on a row in queue
Eat, work, sleep, die
I go & fish and take a quiet minute
go out, out & fish
A chance to breathe in, breathe out
When you read philosophys
search between old verses
You think it was different
16-17-18-hundred
Not at all, my heart is smarting
The same thing in all times
I go & fish and take a quiet minute
Go out, out & fish
A chance to breathe in, breathe out
Nothing's like it use to be
It's the same from day to day
Everyone sell the same services
People to the right, the left
I can only sow some seed
and give some piece of advice:
Take your rod
Let us go & fish and take a quiet minute
Let us fish, fish some fish
Your chance to breathe out
I go & fish and take a quiet minute
Go out, out & fish
A chance to breathe in, breathe out

It Is Over Now (Det Är Över Nu)

One boy goes to the moon
another aims at the sun
a third never comes away
He says: When the night falls
and you feel frozen
then I'm living, then I'm here for you
It is over now
but I remember all days with you
They are over now
Hear a boom-boom-boom that calls on for
Sometimes I see you get on the bus
sometimes I see you on some street
and always you seem to be on your way
They say that you live alone
they say that you listen to Elvis
and paint with sorrow in every colour
It is over now
but I remember all days with you
They are over now
Hear a boom-boom-boom that calls for you
It is over now
but I remember a totally different time
It is over now
You can hear a cold, cold wind that's passing by
Here comes the sun
here comes a sun that says:
Never more rain
never more rain
It is over now
but I remember all days with you
They are over now
Hear a boom-boom-boom that calls for you
It is over now
but I remember all moments with you
They are over now
Hear a boom-boom-boom that's pounding for you
It is over now
It is over now

King Of Sand (Kung Av Sand)

Do you hear the song they're playing on the radio?
Every word seems to be about you
How you knocked in the middle of the summer
but never came back again
Saw a gull circulate by the harbour
as if he was searching for a friend
The same morning it rained on the beach
where I walked alone again
Here comes king of sand
here comes the king of nothing at all
Here comes king of sand
here comes the king of nothing at all
Saw your spirit, she walked by the water
Her footsteps disappeared in a wind
When I woke up under the sky
I felt the warmth of your cheek
Here comes king of sand
here comes the king of nothing at all
Here comes king of sand
here comes the king of nothing at all
Hey! Hear a king of sand who calls
He-he-hey! Hear a king of sand who calls

June, July, August (Juni, Juli, Augusti)

I sit here for a while
and am closing my eyes but yet I see
I count every seventh wave
and float in a golden garden
I've been sitting here for a while
Summernight turned into summerday
I wanted to activate my belief
I wanted to hear the grass grow
Because the whole year I've been waiting for
June, July, August
Because the winds are warm then
June, July, August
You don't think I see you so
You come without clothes on
But I think I know all I want
God was good when you were made
I stay for a while
Birches becomes a shady grove
A sundance on your gramophone
keeps the rain away from here
Because the whole year I've been waiting for
June, July, August
Everything seems to be easier then
June, July, August
Before you may leave
I want to know
Have you ever felt this way?
The whole year I've been waiting for
June, July, August
Everything seems to be easier then
June, July, August
The winds are warm then
June, July, August

Jo-Anna Farewell (Jo-Anna Farväl)

I'm home one night
my phone's ringing
You say: Hi, it's me
can you get away
You need a night
You need a friend
but you've forgotten
how to spell love
So you and I can never
You and I can never look
each other in the eyes
Jo-Anna
Jo-Anna na na na na na
Jo-Anna farewell
I thought about you
and how it was before
We have just started
but it's already over
You need tonight
You need a friend
But you've forgotten
how to spell love
You and I can never
You and I can never see
each other
Jo-Anna
Jo-Anna na na na na na
Jo-Anna farewell...

If She Knew What She Wanted
(Om Hon Visste Vad Hon Ville)

She knows where the limit goes
to keep me
warm and interested
She knows where the limit goes
to hurt me
Then she is cold and fascinated
And everyone wants to
hold her hard
until night becomes day
If she knew what she wanted
she could have got whoever whe wanted
Sometimes I see she's not here
She goes and fantasizes
Hours float
in a lonely dream
where I don't exist
But on the way she dances
she gives me another answer
If she knew what she wanted
she could have got whoever whe wanted
If she knew what she wanted
free is the moon that night!
But if she
leaves me tomorrow
then she leaves a heart obsessed
Sometimes I hear
how she wants away from here
to new situations
Like if she hunts for
new perspectives
and new vibrations
Oh, I hope she can hear
this song some day
If she knew what she wanted
she could have got whoever she wanted
If she knew what she wanted
she could have got whoever whe wanted
If she knew what she wanted
free is the moon that night!
But if she
leaves me tomorrow
then she leaves a heart obsessed
She knows where the limit goes
to keep me
warm and interested
She knows where the limit goes
to hurt me
Then she is cold and fascinated
But on the way that she makes love
she makes me stay
If she knew what she wanted
she could have got whoever she wanted...

Wandering Man (Vandrande Man)

I am a wandering man
I come and go like seasons
A lonely wandering man
in a lonely sleeping town
I live like this - where are you?
Here I live - where do you live?
I have my heart's café
I drink my wine
and am happy in mind
and am still singing the story
about memories
and moonlight and love
where is it? - here I am
like a song that lives on
And the lights are lit
adn the night is playing
and the shadows are dancing for a
wandering man
And strange dogs
are howling in the wind
and are carefully following
a wandering man
I am a wandering man
I'm escaping from nothing
and I'm collecting everything
A lonely wandering man
until a wandering woman takes me
by the hand - where are you?
Here I live - where do you live?
And the lights are lit
The loving are playing
and the shadows are dancing
for a wandering man
And unknown people
are creeping and wondering
and are carefully following
A wandering man...

It Is Flowers That Have Caught You (Det Är Blommor Som Har Fångat Dig)

Once in your life you meet someone
who changes all that happens
who changes what you see
Once in your life you meet someone
who changes all that happens
who changes all that you see
And it's all that you understand
all that you can and all that you know
That is your new reality
And do you want to get away from there
then there is no way to go
'cos who wants to leave a scent of spring?
It is flowers that have caught you
caught you
Once in your life you win everything
when nothing goes wrong in the heart's big game
I said: Once in your life you win everything
when nothing goes wrong in the heart's red game
And what would stop you?
All there is it just happened
Left is the taste of a kiss
And do you want to get away from there
then there is no way to go
'cos who wants to leave a scent of spring?
It is flowers that have caught you
So do you want to get away from there
there is no way to go
'cos who wants to leave a scent of spring?
It is flowers that have caught you
caught you
And do you want to get away from there
then there is no way to go
'cos who wants to leave a scent of spring?
It is flowers that have caught you
So do you want to get away from there
there is no way to go
'cos who wants to leave a scent of spring?
It is flowers that have caught you
caught you

Fall Down On My Knees (Faller Ner På Knä)

It took a long time to understand
everything you give to me
It took a long time to defeat
my grey suspiciousness
So long time to take to
all true ideals
It took a long time to bring myself
to open up my shell
I fall down on my knees
and pray a quiet prayer
pray for that your love may live
and never ever die
I fall down on my knees
It took a long time to understand
everything you show me
It took some time to dare to leave
my safe solitude
So long time for me to take to
the demands from a friend
It took some time for me to see
that you and I were one
I fall down on my knees
and pray a quiet prayer
pray for that your love may live
and never ever die
I fall for myself
No one may watch
Pray for that the strength you have planted
last for 1000 years
I fall down on my knees

New Boyfriend (Ny Pojkvän)

Feel the blood bubble
Feel the gait yield
Feel the cheek get hot
Feel tears roll
I see that the future
will never be as it was
Everyone else knows it
I have heard that you have a new boyfriend
New boyfriend
New boyfriend
New boyfriend
No one else knows how
loneliness smarts
when one's darling never
stays the night anymore
Cos I know how quiet
the big silence can be
Everyone else knows it
They have said that you've got a new boyfriend
New boyfriend
New boyfriend
New boyfriend

Oh Yea Oh Yea (oh oh)

You can come to the coast
You can come a day
in September
You can come to the border
You can come a night
in November
Oh yea oh yea oh oh
You can come to the quay
You can come
when the sea-ice is freezing
You can come to the harbour
You can come
when the foghorn is heard
Oh yea oh yea oh oh - go!
You can come to the country
You can come
when the birches are whistling
You can come to the city
You can come
when spring is intoxicating
Oh yea oh yea oh oh - go!

Harplinge

If you an ordinary day
are by the coast
and life seems to be doubtful
a little scent of blues
Than begin by the market place
take the car just enough north
Sneak slowly through Halmstad
Pass Karlsro quietly
Oh oh oh
The airport is to the right
You can whistle high at the world
Continue by the avenue
where the Heafarm lies
Look out for cyclists
and one and another tractor
Soon you can behold The Old Doctor's House
In just this corner
MP had trouble
Follow his history
and Styrdal passes by
There is music played
a Mecca of the myths
But forget it for a while
You're on your way to the light
the light
Gullbrandtorp's centre
pass the old Mysingen
Then the road is long
an EPA you pass
Over there lies Lynga
Martin Stjärna lived there
but that was in '78
It is time to turn off
Now it is curved the whole way
Look out for cows and horses
There comes a blue Volvo
with people that wave
And do you see the yellow shimmer
golden and holy
Then you have reached your target
and live eternal life
Oh oh oh

No One Goes In The Ring (Ingen Går I Ringen)

It is a long way
It is a long way
It is a long way
to go between now and then
And it took a long time
Such a long time
Yes, it took a long time
to go between now and then
To go between now and then
And no one goes in the ring
'cos everyone watches it
And no one goes in the ring
'cos everyone watches
It is a big step
It is a big step
It was a big step
to go between now and then
To go between now and then
And no one goes in the ring
if no one makes it up
And no one goes in the ring
if everyone watches
And no one goes in the ring
if no one makes it up
And no one goes in the ring
if everyone watches
Watches

The Sun's Friend (Solens Vän)

I will plant a tree where my love grows
I will write your name over the sky where I live
I will save a shell you laid here beside
I can save one more if you want
I will plant a tree where the gods smiled
where I carved your name on a stone in a forest
I will stretch a sail, paint a sea
before you are leaving
Hey hey - the sun's friend
When are you back again?
Hey hey - the sun's friend
When are you back again?
I will plant a tree, place a seed
I will write your name with the birches' leaves
When the night falls and dances around
You shall get my lucky ring
Hey hey - the sun's friend
When are you back again?
Hey hey - the sun's friend
When are you back again?

You Are A Gangster, Honey! (Du Är En Gangster, Älskling!)

You were worse than I expected
or like Micke said when we sat in a small café:
You need a bullet-proof vest every time
you are out on tour
A finger against your cock
hard and warm
You aim with a smile and shoot charm
You are a gangster, honey!
The brain thinks red of blood
black of cunning and white of curage
You are a gangster, honey!
The revolver on your table
A shot in the heart
Kungälv, Lund, Östersund
Kalmar, Stockholm, it doesn't matter
You've changed your name
you've changed your face
One is fooled and hit
and have lost all control
It's just as good you say:
This, this is a robbery!
and leave your business card
the love's Al Capone
You are a gangster, honey!
The brain thinks red of blood
black of cunning and white of curage
You are a gangster, honey!
The revolver on your table
A shot in the heart
Makes you guilty to murder
Makes you guilty to murder
