Nu är det väl revolution på gång?
Now isn't there a revolution going on?
Oh, isn't it nice to not know what's best for you to go from one setback and then rush like a bull straight into the next one Oh, isn't it really nice to have your very own radio set and throw it out through the window when they talk about things I can do without Now isn't there a revolution going on? I think the waiting's got a bit long My back pocket's out of aces sober for a week an infinite stretch I know all about sadness I'll get up tomorrow, I'll wait until then Well, I'm lying here and thinking out how we'll get the country on its feet again I want everything to be like normal but it's actually that that I fear the most Now isn't there a revolution going on? I think the waiting's got a bit long Please miss, I'm walking on smouldering coals had my hands up on the blanket for a week now had my hands up on the blanket for a week now Now it's over, I've had enough now Now isn't there a revolution going on? I think the waiting's got a bit long Now isn't there a revolution going on? I think the waiting's got a bit long Now isn't there a revolution going on? I think the waiting's got a bit long

I've forgotten my first summer and I've forgotten my first winter with snow but I still have a photo my father took I've forgotten my first football but it's hard to say if it matters at all I still have a photo my father took I've forgotten my first bicycle but I still have a golden key to my memory I still have a photo my father took I remember our first plane trip and I remember a rain-shower once I still have a photo my father took
Raketmaskinen
The rocket machine
Born in a tower-block built of wood now underway in a rocket machine light from some forgotten thing made of sand the rumour spread like a smokescreen many people were watching take a picture! you can keep it look out! Who falls flat if a rumour is true? Who falls flat if a rumour is true? Now at a dark and lonely place here it's buzzing with activity they know that it's possible they know that it's reachable look out! Who falls flat if a rumour is true? Who falls flat if a rumour is true? Where it's going to take place, everything's still then things happen in the outer reaches for example a rocket machine you know it's possible you know that it's reachable you know know know it's possible look out! Who falls flat if a rumour is true? Who falls flat if a rumour is true? do you dare to believe in a tower-block of wood? the story lifts and flies slowly away

I've spoken out I've talked things to death if I think then I haven't said a word I'm selling off my soul I've set off towards my longing but all roads lead further in I'm selling off my soul if you think you know where you have me then I'm closer than you dare to ask of me I'm selling off my soul everything must go
Ett fall och en lösning
A case and a solution
The girls are away I'm uninspired living by night makes my skin inflamed everything seems to point to a social infection a nice little evening doesn't change my situation my mum threw me out to get some sort of answer she just wanted to show what bad manners I have I get so angry that I always have to lose get going midnight, then I'll take all the intoxication Don't need a cure don't need anything don't need anything but a case and a solution buy me a ticket to the fastest thing: one portion and throw in the bang of an atom bomb explosion I seem to be a victim a natural selection meet me on the other side unusual direction [refrain] a solution I need a solution so come and give me a solution....... a solution [4 times]
Istället för musik: förvirring (i replokalen -95)
Instead of music: confusion (demo '95)

Det skulle vara lätt för mig att säga jag inte hittar hem
men det gör jag; tror jag
It would be easy for me to say I don't find my way home
but I do; I think
everything hurts; so unreachable a little tailwind; pretty unbeatable joy so hard to contact gets easy you sleep when everything goes slowly it would be easy for me to say I don't find my way home but I do; I think up there only good thoughts fly here on the ground they shrink and hide themselves Rocket Sweden: this month's place a slap on the cheek for the guy that's too nice it would be easy for me to say I don't find my way home but I do; I think it would be easy for me to say I don't like you but I do; I think (continue refrain)
Jag är inte arg
I'm not angry
in one ear and out the other again the winter gives way to the summer in boyfriend and out girlfriend again the sour winter loses to the summer I'm not angry I see what happens I'm not angry because I know that it'll turn in Monday and out Friday again the present exchanges plans with the future in sun and out clouds again till the ground exchanges colours with the autumn leaves I'm not angry I see what happens I'm not angry because I know that it'll turn
