Nanook of the north

Olle playing Boss chorus

Olle playing Solina on Missing deeds

Olle playing the Eagle 12 string

Olle playing Magick Logan

Olle playing Solina Magick

 

Nanook provar ny låt

Ny nanooklåt

Wakeup Ofelia. Malin i köket.

 

 

Karin Boye´s grave

Here we stand by Karin Boye´s grave
I´m singing while Mattias plays his funky machines
Tiger, have you reached a brighter day?
Won´t you give this world just another chance
Cause we could drive in our car
From Alingsås to the stars

Cause we would have loved your style

I would have loved to be alive

We could have gone to Kvarnen every night

I could have held your hands

You 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 alive

We could have gone to Kvarnen every night

I could have held your hands

You 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 case

I will stand upon the barricades

The last one standing as the music fades

All these kids are letting go but I won't leave you

I will try not to loose you

Cause 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 ark

Radiowaves pulls us away

From the city we know all too well

The lion is waiting outside the gate, saying:

Time to hand over this place

From 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 care

Here are the keys, do what you please

Turn off the lights when you leave

After 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 forged

Desolate, silent , always

The storm has passed, so come back please

But 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 bears

Nightlife, streetlights , always

You need to find your guiding star

I 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 me

I 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 unarmed

Easier for me then

But I´m just a girl

Well, 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 duty

Well 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 to

Is 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 me

Screw 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 maze

The 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 sand

And 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 vibe

Well 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 stones

These 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 opportunity

But 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
