| Nanook of the north
Karin Boye´s grave Here we stand by Karin Boye´s grave Cause we would have loved your style I would have loved to be aliveWe could have gone to Kvarnen every night I could have held your handsYou could have played in our band We could have spread revolution through this land
Mattias, play the Omnichord for her ---------- Ooh, that´s a machine I´ve never heard So don´t you think it´s time that you came back and saw What´s new in this world You could be our girl ( I could be your girl )
Cause we would have loved your style I would have loved to be aliveWe could have gone to Kvarnen every night I could have held your handsYou could have played in our band We could have spread revolution through this land We could have reached the skies You wouldn´t even have to try We would have fallen in love with you and I Really would love to hear you sing Bring on the vibes and I´ll bring the ring Come back to life and we´ll show you everything ( show me everything ) Israel and Palestine – a solution
Täby, I'm so sorry I didn't speak for you, I looked the other way Nanook, don´t you worry This is holy ground, I can prove my caseI will stand upon the barricades The last one standing as the music fadesAll these kids are letting go but I won't leave you I will try not to loose youCause we are:
Spare parts Without each other we're useless, abused and starved We're the engine of the broken heart, yes we are… Spare parts So Israel and Palestine , look up! See the star shines with a northern light Jerusalem 's here, so hold your fire
Morning, what are you thinking? I'm the avalanche, you're the pioneer Homie, how will you find me?I left pebblestones all along the way The architects have tried the best they can To drown the beauty of you barren land Strip the concrete and you'll see me truly naked Oh believe me it's sacred And we are:
Spare parts…
Nanook's arkRadiowaves pulls us away From the city we know all too well The lion is waiting outside the gate, saying: Time to hand over this placeFrom the towers of swedish suburbia we welcome the wild ones
Bye bye baby morning star You've been waiting so long, take over the streets and the bars Let in hordes of ponies Tigers roaming through the streets Maybe all you need is love ™
Ambassadeur cow is taking the vow: I will handle this city with careHere are the keys, do what you please Turn off the lights when you leaveAfter fivethousand years of suppression the tables are turning
Bye bye baby morning star You've been waiting so long, take over the streets and the bars Turtles, snakes and silver shells All these boards of people can no longer keep you away Let in hordes of ponies, tigers roaming through the streets Maybe all you need is love ™
Phonecall
So how is life in good old north The storm has passed, the river forgedDesolate, silent , always The storm has passed, so come back pleaseBut Sweden 's really nice to me Busy , radiant, always
Nanook come home, don't stand alone You will always carry me home Nanook come home, we miss you so You will always show me which way to go
There's cars and people everywhere No spaces left for polar bearsNightlife, streetlights , always You need to find your guiding starI found myself in Johnny's bar Shallow , beautiful, always Nanook come home…
St George and the dragon
I´m gonna do this on my own I´ve got to face this beast alone I can see the shimmering of the scales Somewhere in the deepest part of the lake You won´t be bothering my village no more You won´t be keeping us awake You won´t pollute the skies with sulphur and smoke Cause I got just what it takes, oh yeah…
I may seem like a child But I carry the mark of the righteous I may seem like a joke to you But I´m blessed with the sign of a warrior
So come out and face your destiny So you´re the one they sent to deal with meI can carry a shield and I can carry a sword The little things my village could ever afford Oh, you think I´m just the village moron? Well ponder that when you go down Soon all that remains of you Will be a statue in the old town, oh yeah…
I may seem like a child But I carry the mark of the righteous I may seem like a joke to you But I´m blessed with the sign of a warrior I may seem like a child But I carry the mark of the viking I may seem like a joke to you But I'm blessed with the soul of a warrior And I´m bound to be a hero But I´m unarmedEasier for me then But I´m just a girlWell, I will tell nothing of that to the world mmmm
Näsby park
Workaholic, ultra catholic I´ll keep an eye on you Hey there cutie I´m still on dutyWell I´m still on duty too Despite all your efforts this city will fall Despite all your work you and I Are gonna stay here for a long, long, long, long, long time
Look out, hey you´re walking the wrong way Täby is over here I will go wherever I want toIs that what you think, oh dear We don´t need no minefields, we don´t need alarms We don´t need a Berlin wall To make you stay here in this sad, sad, sad, sad, sad place For a long, long, long, long, long time
Hey Fragile
Hey Fragile, fragile little girl You look ugly when you´re wearing that skirt You look stupid when you´re dancing with the other nerds And my karaoke mind don´t have capacity to see All the beauty you could show for me
So I keep kicking, pushing you around That is the only thing I do allright Are you joking?I never joke about my life And my karaoke mind won´t take the time to settle down And figure out what you are all about
And you won´t reach me cause I fall alone ”Living is easy”, my ass!, it´s a warzone When I stumble you are the one I choose to shoot Cause you are all that I could never be All I despice and everything that I envy And in my eyes you´re pulling the trigger on yourself And heaven knows you make an easy target
So move over, your place is in the shade You should know now I always get my way You look sad to meScrew you, I´m always ok And my positivity is such a central part of me that I´ve forgotten how to be myself And you won't reach me…
Where will you go? Of course we´re still at home These roads won´t take us no place else I know This forest is a mazeThe trees and bushes build towers in our way
Where will you go, where will you go? This is not the way to school you know Where will you go, where will you go? All these roads just take us home Nanook lead the way My compass still points north but I´m lost all the same Our shoes are filled with sandAnd bonds like these never last in this barren land
So where will you go…
The Explorer
Soft breeze, I guess I fell asleep Now the seagulls are breaking the silence Sails down and hail the spanish crown We are reaching the coast of an island Pale sand, all this is in my hand It's a herritage sacred as Sion Four pearls of beauty in the sea I will call them the Canary islands
Well done, you found the way home! We're coming in masses to chase inspiration Well done, the airlines are raving We're touching new ground, we're not leaving, we're staying You don't know what you've created, undermined and overrated Robert Machin, was it all you were hoping for?
Blip blop blip Well done, you found the way home We´re coming in masses to chase inspiration Well done, the airlines are raving We´re touching new ground, we're not leaving, we're staying Linda kisses Don Fernando, dream your life away - bailando! Thomas learns to play the chords of Love me do ™ You don´t know what you´ve created, undermined and overrated Robert Machin was it all you were hoping for? You won't be alone no more That's what friends are for
Forget it Jenny, love is just a privilege for the rich
Did you catch his eyes? I felt a wonderful vibeWell hold that thought a little while Cause you'll wake to the subways alarming shakes And it will float away
Hey! Is this what you call home? Concrete and ancient stonesThese houses grow like weed you know Well, I'll erase the filth of this barren place With something beautiful
Forget it Jenny, love is just a privilege for the rich you see Cause love requires time and time is money And that is something out of your reach honey No! Love is universal to humanity It gets to you no matter of economy Wherever there is life there's opportunityBut how romantic is your suburb seriously? And how passionate can kisses on commuter trains be? Face it, it's not meant for kids like you and me But I'm the only one creating destiny Where kids are turning playgrounds into battlefields Well, sex might be ok but love – come on get real Face it, it's not meant for you and me Jenny The background and the stageshit doesn't bother me Forget it Jenny, we´re wading through the trenches of our poverty
La la la la
