En pratstund
A chat


Everyone has a side
that's never good on a photo
you can turn your head
right till it's undone

Everyone has things doing [1]
the question comes every day
bounces against a stomach
collides with a discomfort

Everyone talks about their own things
change their views from time to time
listen a bit absent-mindedly
a thousand words to listen to

Everyone has a background
even more their own reasons
try a moment's chat
coax away a quarrel

a chat
a chat
a good moment
everyone has a good moment


Sommaren rasar
The summer's raging


Monday rings give me strength to stand
Chose the wrong subjects at school but it'll have to do
I can work I can be unemployed
the market's stingy, I'm generous

If I go to sleep
put me in a tree
a tree on the way out into the summer
put me to the test again

Darkness falls, tumbles down over the day
tyres screech summer's raging in the town
I can sit at home I can go out
I can rest I can finish

If I wither
put me in a tree
a tree on the way out into the summer
and I'm dressed up and green again
I'm green again
green again
I'm green again


Upp, upp, upp, ner
Up, up, up, down


Here and now
ends the public road
enter at your own risk

A person
plays bird, 
in-between or fish [2]

hi-hi down
hi-hi down
up, up, up, up,
down

A person cuts up
their bad thoughts
like a fence
soon after, a problem
leaves the body and all the crush

Wishes that come true
it happens too seldom
just something in between

hi-hi down
hi-hi down
up, up, up, up,
down hi-hi
down hi-hi
down up, up, up, up,
down... etc.


Förträngda problem
Repressed problems


It adds up to zero, it's never too late
it adds up to zero, repressed problems
What?  is it true?
Now or never... now or never...

I come up with what I want to hear
I turn up the sound till it hurts in my ear
The molecules contained in my brain
never brake, I can't put up any resistance

Nosferatu my only companion
you fill the breadth, I'm never lazy
It's raining lyrics, I make them with my mouth
I burn the heat my death's disappeared

Everything crazy seems so familiar
DNA spirals my life is dear to me
I walk on the carpet I feel it well
here you're planning I take my day off
I come up with etc...

Chorus.
I come up with etc...
Repressed problems x4
Chorus,

Reinkarnerad exakt som förut
Reincarnated exactly like before


Ran into wisdom in an old woman
saw about an elephant on TV
cut my finger on a piece of paper
then I sang a bit off-key
I promise it's true

First there was the news and then a tune
Africa was shaken by a serious epidemic
tasted a soup with carrots in it
then I crept under the blanket
out on my edge

I searched in books
for a sensation
we saw a film at the cinema
it was worse than a turkey
we spoke about money
and both of us lost faith
then I came home in the night
in a bad state

Smoke came out of my mouth
Like it does when there's frost
I saw a dot in the air
it was an aircraft

I put a letter in the letterbox
tomorrow you'll get post
I felt a bit unwell
I forgot to eat breakfast

In the evening came the evening
I wasn't surprised
you gave me a bit of a telling-off
for the first time in a month
the neighbour had a party
there were lights burning in the garden
we ate dinner in front of the TV
they were reporting about riots

I stumbled in the hall
on the way to make the coffee
everything ran out with the sand
and Sweden missed the penalty
I fell asleep at half past eight
just like an old woman
I dreamed I was real
and the dream became pleasant and vivid


Nånting måste göras
Something has to be done


It comes up like an unexpected mountain
it doesn't matter to me [3]
You close off your eyes on colour
it doesn't matter to me
I get a kiss after we've broken up
it doesn't matter to me
I miss the bus by a minute
it doesn't matter to me

I feel something, something
I feel something....

I get pushed about by a real man
it doesn't matter to me
He goes past me in the queue sometimes
it doesn't matter to me
I'll never catch up with a comet
it doesn't matter to me
under the wallpaper some old wallpaper

I feel something, something
I feel something....

My beloved despair gets me no medals
it doesn't matter to me
The last line will probably just be a detail
it doesn't matter to me

I feel something, something
I feel something....

Something, something, I feel something
I feel that something, something has to be done


Indianernas park
The Indians' park


We saw the park the Indians were given
it took a moment
to understand
little things we've thought about

We saw a white spot on the radar today
it came like a punch in the stomach
a light
that darkness needs

a light
that darkness needs

We heard an underwater sound on a tape
and three found their own thoughts
a message
about tailwind from a different direction

We saw the park the Indians were given
it came like a punch in the stomach

I got stronger as the minutes went by
they lasted me the whole day
an arrow that pointed towards the window

We fish deep for pure imagination
it's hard not to
a murmur
through murmurs
it will be our goal


Düsseldorf
Düsseldorf


The root begins beyond the earth
space stretches inwards
the oxygen gives my soul a plan
better than exhaust fumes from the town

Planes leave Seattle
land now in Düsseldorf

I like things
that no one cares about
Stop! stop!

When I get curious time stands still
I feel alright and can handle a bit more

Tape catches radio-noise

Tape catches radio-noise
cycling trip in rainy gravel

I like things
that no one cares about
Stop! stop!

When I get curious time stands still
I feel alright and can handle a bit more x2

A simple question:
Why is it like that?
- I've no idea
but it amuses me anyway

I like things that no one
cares

I go barefoot in a shop
take an icecream-boat
I'm in love
before, I was rude and surly
maybe I can get along well here


Papperspåse

Paper bag
On my head
Nighttime on the bus
Daytime on the bus
Paper bag

Paper bag
On my head
Light illumination
Dark illumination
Paper bag

On my head
In my head
In my head
Advertising campaign

Paper bag
Paper bag
On my head

New Swedes
Old Swedes
Unswedish atmosphere
Unswedish atmosphere
In Sweden

Nice atmosphere
Nice atmosphere
Nice atmosphere
Paper bag
Unswedish atmosphere
Strange atmosphere

Advertising campaigns
Election campaigns
And there I stand with a

Paper bag
On my head
Nighttime on the bus
Daytime on the bus
Unswedish atmosphere

New Swedes
Old Swedes
New prejudices
Old prejudices

Paper bag
On my head
On the way home

On the way to the bus
On the way into the bus
On the way to the back of the bus
Nighttime on the bus
Paper bag
