Istället för musik: förvirring
Instead of music: confusion

[sound and video here/ljud och video här] [sound here] [ljud här]

Once again it's time to go into a nutshell
for months on end I've been as happy as a blue whale
Once again it's time to dupe my own time (1)
if I hit the mark I've a chance to get more of my future

You mustn't stand next to me
rock'n'roll in no time
Werther had pains
Jean d'Arc went on drugs(2)

I dance round a white skeleton
life feels so free and right
the benefit recipient drunk and full up
cheer on Sweden'll win easily

A Aa Instead of music: confusion

I've forgotten what I said I've lost all rhythm
I'm out of it
my life is a noise I've got too many candles in my cake

Old auntie fatherland
you've irritated me sometimes
that's why I play in a band
that's why I crush my hand

A Aa instead of music: confusion
etc
llaoulalalala

a Aa Instead of music: confusion... etc

A Aa Instead of a life: confusion

Dubbel tvekan
Double hesitation

Now you're awake
I start breathing
you're part of it all
my heart gets mixed in

I sit by you
when you're feeling bad
if you wait for me
when I get impatient

I seldom dance
my brain beats time evenly
I walk into the trap
my heart get forgotten and shamed (3)

Now the film begins
you sit beside me
the sound and picture
synchronise

My ribcage bounces
like popcorn bounces
my heart hopes
like popcorn pops

Min trampolin
My trampoline

I want to go back
to a party
with juice in glasses

I want to go back
to when my father's uncle sang
and everyone laughed

my trampoline
now you're my only hope (4)
my trampoline
now you're my only hope

Notes.
1 `own time', Swedish samtid, as in `a legend in her own time'.
2 This really is `Jean' and not `Jeanne', which is why I haven't translated it as `Joan of Arc'.
3 `shamed' here is skämt, which is also what fruit and vegetables become when they're too old to eat.
4 hopp means both `hope' and `jump` in Swedish.
