(by Official site & Luna Kafe)

In 1975, She was born and grew up in a small village in the south part of sweden. In 1997, she started up the band First Floor Power together with Karl-Jonas Winqvist. Pretty soon Sara Wilson and Per Lager joined us. One year later, the FFP's first vinyl 7", a split single, was released in a very limited edition. following in the spring 2001 to the FFP's debut album "There is hope". In fall she gave birth to her son. In 2003, the second album of FFP, "Nerves" was released. She wrote "You Take My Breath Away" with the Knife and she made music for the play "Nattjärilen" at Stockholms Stadsteater and also started to work on what would be my forthcoming album.

In 2004, she entered studio and one year later she released the solo debut album LOVE AND YOUTH in Sweden!. SHe got the P3 Gold Prize Award, "Pop of the year" for the album Love and Youth. Nominated for Grammis "Female pop of the year" and for Manifest "Pop of the year" + "Best Live Act". The album was released in Europe in 2006.

Jenny Wilson sang in angular indie band First Floor Power but is now stepping out on her own. Thus we get a strong album with a sound that's quite exciting. "Summer Time - The roughest time" the first single is as catchy as its skewed and odd. Wilson's intriguing voice and her dark words fascinate. "Those Winters" tells of being bullied at school to an austere musical backing. "Would I play with My Band?" has Wilson singing of her early days in her group. It's a musical cross between the Knife's electro sound and Kate Bush's willful experimentalism. "Love ain't just a four letter word" is a soft-focus Yoko Ono gone pop. Jenny Wilson emerges as a fascinating and original artist with this record.

Crazy summer
Hot breeze
Don't care about what people said

Be brave
Don' think about the consequences
Just think about yourself

You better fight if you have to
Don't forget yourself
Be brave

In a dark breeze
Of that crazy summer

In a dark breeze
Of that crazy summer
Crazy summer
Dark breeze
Crazy summer

Books oh books along a dusty road
Take to the right, right after the sign you'll find me there
My nose is bleeding from rubbing it into books
I'm working hard on an intellectual look

Got a piece of paper to put poetry upon
But I'd rather write a crib so I can cheat
Come on!

I've slept more films than I have seen
I've talked about dreams that I never ever dreamed, yeah
I've slept more films than I have seen
I've talked about dreams that I never ever dreamed

Then the summer comes
Hey, ain't that the roughest time of roughest times
Sun bleached hair
No matter what you've just got to have fun
And fall in love
Got to meet a boy to fall in love with quick
With a dazzling smile
No matter what, you've better not ask why

Love's like viper but I can't resist
To sip that poison, lick my lips, bite my finger tips
My head's fallin' off
It's rolling away, am I astray
Head, wait for me!

Summertime's the roughest time
Everybody's telling me how easy things become
Summertime's the roughest time
Everybody's telling me how easy things become

Then the summer comes
Hey, ain't that the roughest time of roughest times
Sun bleached hair
No matter what, you've just got to have fun

And fall in love
Got to meet a boy to fall in love with quick
With a dazzling smile
No matter what, you've better not ask why...

Tie my shoes and zip my jacket
I lock the door and check my pockets
I'm leaving the light on just for the sight
Might make someone think that I'm still around

Sold my bed, no need to sleep these nights
Walking rounds in search for stars these nights
The sky is perfectly brown instead of black
I let my shoes lead me forward, please bring me some luck

It's ok, hey come on, no time for education so let's go
I can't stand all these rules,
I'm gonna turn my back to everything I know
It's ok, come on, I won't do the things they learned me

I pick up stones 'cause I might need them
You're gonna throw'em, aren't you
I tried with books but I'm not pleased yet
Come on and read it for me, read it for me
Sold my bed, no need to sleep these nights,
I'm walking rounds in search for, doesn't matter

It's ok, hey come on, no time for education so let's go
I can't stand all these rules,
I'm gonna turn my back to everything I know
It's ok, come on, I won't do the things they learned me...

Those Winters

They beat you up, they force you down against the snow
Sun's been further and the snow has benn harder
You know the sky's been greyer before
You know the winter has been colder
You know, 'cause you know those winters so well

All the parents and the kids are erased by the snowflakes
But you hear their trembling voices
They're gathering in the haze
And the fists and bony elbows force you
They beat you up so badly this time
But you know the darkness has been darker before
And that the shadows have been shorter
You know 'cause you know those winters so well

You remember all those winters
The snow drifts under your back
The blizzard is making tears in your eyes
And the strokes bruisers in your face
Soon, I guess, the summer comes around
From time to time it's better to be beaten up in the backyard
When the sun sets with a pink sky above

Bitter? No I Just Love To Complain

Went to the city with all these lights
With the people to fall in love with or dislike
And music is like a pouring rain
I made my decision : I wanna stay.
Made songs, taped'em on my machine
Sent cassettes to a record company
(They Said) "You know you're here to entertain?
You look good girl but I can hear no refrain"
Swing and sway, be colorful and sweet
Or you just waste my time.
Pick a word and sing it constantly,
About a million times.
If your voice was clear and not so keen
Hey, we could change your style!
This is just another industry"
Well, I swept floors, I made hotel beds,
While I kept my songs like in a warehouse, in my head
"Bitter?"
No I just love to complain.
And I made my decision, here's the refrain :
"Swing and sway, be colorful and sweet
Or you just waste my time.
Pick a word and sing it constantly,
About a million times.
If your voice was clear and not so keen
Hey, we could change your style!
This is just another industry"

"Disappointed?"
"No, I just like to complain"
'Cause I don't wanna do this, I cannot take it
I put on my shoes now and walk away.
I don't wanna do it, it's just a waste of time
And I don't like your rules.
I don't wanna do this, I cannot take it
I put on my shoes now and run away.
I don't wanna hear your lies and promises or your "useful" advices

"Swing and sway, be colorful and sweet
Or you just waste my time.
Pick a word and sing it constantly,
About a million times.
If your voice was clear and not so keen
Hey, we could change your style!
This is just another industry"

Would I Play With My Band

I work four days a week
And the rest of the days I spend my time on the streets
I work four days a week
And the rest of the days I spend my time on the streets
I'm looking for something
What would I've become if you still were alive
Would I work in a bank?
Have four kids with a man?
Would I play with my band?
Still I don't know how things would be
Probably this is what's supposed to be
I think I saw you in the haze such a dream
I saw you were waving from a plane.
(You said:)"I know we're rising while the sun is going down
I know we're rising though the sun is setting now"

What would I've become if you still were alive
Would I fight with my bare hands
Go to the church and get married
Would I let people down
Would I play with my band
Still I don't know how things would be
Probably this is what is supposed to be
I think I saw you in the haze such a dream
I saw you were waving from a plane
(You said:)"I know we're rising while the sun is going down
I know we're rising though the sun is setting now"

I've got a stone in my shoe.
I guess that's why I sit here with you.
On a bench in a park in a town.
You think you gotta comfort me, so the kissing has begun

You've got the answers, you've got the facts.
But I know the truth...
You might have some good lines,
You might be a man.

But I know the truth.
This supposed to be Love and Youth
When I was sixteen,
I left school without telling the teachers
Anyway they were all fools.

Got rid off all my childish proof
Hid away all my comic books, hid away from youth
And all the fun outside.
Summer nights outside.

Don't got the answers, I don't got the facts.
But I know the truth...
Might be a good time,
It might be the end.

Anyhow, I know the truth.
This is what they call Love and Youth.

And the guy says to me...
'Look the horizon , the well known line.
Look at the good sky but never on the ground,
You can trace the future there,
Come on we're young !
(Come on we're young...)

Maybe we're young but that doesn't make us last long
Maybe we're young but that doesn't make us last long.
Maybe we're young but that doesn't make us last.
You got the answers as you got the facts.
But I know the truth

Might have some good lines
You might be a man
But I know the truth
It supposed to be

Don't got the answers as I don't got the facts.
But I know the truth

Might be a good time,
It might be the end.
Anyhow I know the truth

It's what they call
Love and youth

I've got Love and youth
(I've got nothing to do with this youth...)
I'm sayin' Love and youth
I've got nothing to do with this youth

Posters from teenage magazines,
Closed the door , you locked it with a key
The pictures would keep you company at night
Handsome strangers to hold on tight
You put some music and it filled the room
Gently like a snowfall.
We were always interrupted by your mother
She was knocking at the door, offering cookies,
Candy, ice cream from the store.
I thought you were spoiled, you screamed
"Piss off you fuckin' whore"
And then you whispered
"Let's steal some wine, mom won't notice anything"
And while the music melted down
We heard her steps, she was staggering.
We were bored, but you know,
You're not supposed to play at that age
The only thing you talked about was guys
And getting laid
You had big tits and every boy in school wanted to fuck you
You told me stories about what these boys could do
"they rip off your clothes, all they wanna do is screw"
Cans of hairspray piled up like skyscrapers
I remember the smell of dark
Fat food that your mother fried in the cigarette smoke
And in a hesitating cloud of despair.

Love Ain't Just A Four Letter Word

No, love ain't just a four letter word, never!
Let me put it like this, let me tell you
You feel it in your chest and in your arms
You feel it in your legs and in your heart
While "words" are what you find in newspapers,
Have you ever read a newspaper, baby?
You know you can wipe your ass with'em
Or stuff your shoes or make a roof, oh!
My heart is a pumping thing, fistful of pumping thing.
I guess it comes quite automatically,
You know the butterflies inside one's chest
You know the feelings, the warm wind
The hunt of a fresh breath.
Don't stop, oh, don't think too much
Get these bad thoughts tucked in bed.
Don't stop pumping, don't stop that jumping
My little stubborn heart.
To come and guide me, guide me, guide me instead!
But I'm shaking, I'm trembling, I'm dancing around
I take two steps at a time (x2)

Love is a pretty thing
"Ehm, it's an outworn word"
Who cares? Not me!
Cause words is that you put on papers
Is what you place in letters and in crosswords too
But when you feel love, the warm wind
It's a taste, it's on your tongue!
Don't stop, oh, don't think too much
Get these bad thoughts tucked in bed.
Don't stop pumping, don't stop that jumping
My little stubborn heart
To come and guide me, guide me, guide me instead!
But I'm shaking, I'm trembling, I'm dancing around
I take two steps at a time

Oh, oh my God, it feels good, but it tastes like blood
And it tickles, it bites me, it tickles and tickles and tickles!
Oh Shit! I can see him, and he belongs to me
In every pumping beat and beat,
In every pumping beat.
Oh here he comes!!
I'm shaking, I'm trembling, I'm dancing around
I take two steps at a time

Common Around Here

I've got my new shoes, they're yellow like the sun
I walk to my new school,
Perhaps I'll make good friends in time
Blue winter jacket will make me look like them
I know I'll better be a part of the game
You Know I'm new, but I'm not special
I wanna fit in cause that makes impression

Well in the school meals I tried to despise the food you should despise
And steal things like toothpicks, make fun of some fat girl,
Then you're member of the gang".
Rules are just the same, tables all the same
At least ten thousand of spoons, and forks and knives and plates
"Nice Jacket, won't you join us" they probably will say
"Not today but tomorrow"
There's no problems, this is like sort of fair
I've got so many new friends admirers in a line
I can' tell how fun it is, mum

I wear a black cap and guess it's common around here
I'm pickin'up stones, suppose they're like weapons in a war
How many of you are still in the game?
My Shoes are new and fast but I won't run away
I'm sure I'm not a chicken
I could prove you I can fight
I'll do what it takes, at least I try

There's no problem, this is like's out of there.
I've got so many new friends and my ears in the line
I can' tell
Funny this book oooo-oh

You know it ain't true
You know it ain't true
You know it ain't true

You should know...

Hey, What's The Matter

And this is what the school's made of:
Concrete and stone of confusion and sloth.
Our hope and aspirations are reduced to these last pages of the yearbook
The best dressed chicks and the most clever guys
Where are you in these pages
Hey now, what is wrong
Perfume, toothpaste, fresh and strong.
Sweaty shirt, my jeans are too tight
Stay awake all night

Come on let's hide on the playground
Let's go
But make sure no class mates find ou that you play, you're too old.
Smoking fags in shade of the slide makes you cool.
"Stash it, stash it"
Watch out or your parents will catch you

Hey now, what is wrong
Perfume, toothpaste, fresh and strong.
Sweaty shirt, my jeans are too tight
Stay awake all night
Hey now what is wrong
Ugly skin, you're bored and young
Sweaty shirt, your jeans are too tight
Stay awake all night

Wish I could go some place where I could fall in love..
With anyone! Just someone or you, just anyone,
Go anywhere, just some place with you
C'mon with anyone, just someone or with you all right
There must be a better place of that

Balcony Smoker

Balcony Smoker you're standing there again
Glowing and fading for every breath you take
No singing ambulance, no car alarms so what keeps you awake ?
You hear the floating blood through your veins
The flood of blood, the flood of blood.

I think I know you but I've never seen your face
And I Bet you're lonely, there's a cloud of smoke again
You remind me of a dove
Who lost his feathers in a fight
With the sound of blood running through your head
The flood of blood in the search for love
You might drown in the flood of love
Flood of love

The Path

I wanted to be born
So I crawled out in the middle of the night
Out of my mother
I looked at the stars
And I looked at the bushes
Then I crawled along the path

In a pair of dusty shoes
I walked a long my youth
I was left with a number of needs to please
The more I walked the more they increased
"We have to eat, bring us food for peace!"
And quicker than you turn a silver coin
The magic, the childhood, the night was all gone
I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake
Oh will I always walk alone
Oh man I think so
Oh will I always walk alone
Oh man they say so

Oh will I always walk alone
Oh man I think so
Oh will I always walk alone
Oh man they say so

Later on
I found me a horse and a rifle
This power would save my life
Bang! I fired a shot in the sky
For god's sake someone could have died

And the horse it kicked backwards
And the hoove it hit my head
Then I was all knocked out for a decade

Oh will I always walk alone
Oh man I think so
Oh will I always walk alone
Oh man they say so

Oh will I always walk alone
Oh man I think so
Oh will I always walk alone
Oh man they say so

Oh will I always walk alone
Oh man I think so
Oh will I always walk alone
Oh man they say
Oh will I always walk alone
Oh man they say

Ten years later I opened my eyes
I stared at the bushes and searched the sky
How many losses
How many earnings
Do I know love, or only learning

No one lay here next to the fire
With a baby born on my chest to admire
Don't crawl away from me yet little boy
I know a path but it can wait little boy

Don't crawl away from me yet little boy
I know a path but it can wait little boy
Don't crawl away from me yet little boy
I know a path but it can wait little boy

Don't crawl away from me yet little boy
I know a path but it can wait little boy

Like a Fading Rainbow

No, no more sugar left
No more soap to clean my hands with
No songs left for the choir

Oh, no more stitches for the dress
No more bread here left to bless
I raise my hands to reach the sky

So I left my fading life
I left my house with an open door
Left it like an open sore
I couldn't stop the wind, oh, blow

So I left my fading life
I left my house with an open door
Left it like an open sore
I couldn't stop the blood, oh, flow

So I left my fading life
I left my house with an open door
Left it like an open sore
I couldn't stop the wind, oh, blow

No, no more firewood
No sweep to brush away the mud
That's stuck upon my shoes

Oh, no birds that are flocking around my feet
No pockets full of grain and crumbs of wheat
No cake that's soft and sweet
I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake
No, no more shimmering stars
No more strings upon on my guitar

So I left my fading life
I left my house with an open door
Left it like an open sore
I couldn't stop the wind, oh, blow

So I left my fading life
I left my house with an open door
Left it like an open sore
I couldn't stop the blood, oh, flow

So I left my fading life
I left my house with an open door
Left it like an open sore
I couldn't stop the wind, oh, blow

Oh, no birds that are flocking around my feet
No pockets full of grain and crumbs of wheat
No cake that's soft and sweet

Oh, no birds that are flocking around my feet
No pockets full of grain and crumbs of wheat
No cake that's soft and sweet

So I left my fading life
I left my house with an open door
Left it like an open sore
I couldn't stop the wind, oh, blow

So I left my fading life
I left my house with an open door
Left it like an open sore
I couldn't stop the blood, oh, flow...

Eyes black as the darkest lake
And wiser than you ever can say
I speak to an old working horse
Every doubt I've felt is gone

Now, I ain't gonna let you plow in this mud
Freedom is running in your blood
I ain't gonna let you, cause we're just the same kind
Freedom is running through our mind
Oh, what are we waiting for
I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake
Up and gone with clattering hooves
Clickety-clack they make me move
Go go gone with clattering hooves
Clap your hands and rattle your keys
Snap your fingers move your feet
Go go gone with clattering hooves

Oh what a feeling!
Come on let's run forever
Oh we can make it
Or am I wrong
Oh what a feeling
The wind against our faces
We took the wrong road
Now we're going
Where are we going
Home

Oh man
Look at me now
You see my unwashed face
Look I've got dirt under my nails
Can I wash them another day

I ain't gonna go on plowing in this old mud
Freedom is running in my blood
I ain't gonna go on though I know that I should
Freedom I've heard it's something good
Are you coming with me

Up and gone with clattering hooves
Clickety-clack they make me move
Go go gone with clattering hooves
Clap your hands and rattle your keys
Snap your fingers move your feet
Go go gone with clattering hooves

Oh what a feeling!
Come on let's run forever
Oh we can make it
Or am I wrong
Oh what a feeling
The wind against our faces
We won this battle
How's it going
I think we're doing quite

Ok
Ain't gonna go there
Clap your hands
Clattering hooves
Home

The Wooden Chair

I sit here singing a song
A song that'll make you sleepy
Oh I sing a harsh hymn all through the night
So I won't fall asleep
Oh oh lil baby in my arms
I am armed
I'm standing in the line of fire

My heart is beating
It goes boom boom boom
Both my feet
Wanna march right out of the room
It's like a fever and I don't feel fine
I wanna leave you baby
But our veins are entwined
I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake
Oh no I'm sitting on a chair
Sing oh man I'm sitting on a chair
Oh no I'm sitting on a chair
I wanna leave you baby but our veins are entwined
Oh no I'm sitting on a chair
Sing oh man I'm sitting on a chair
Oh no I'm sitting on a chair
Sitting on a wooden chair

Said
Oh I've seen so many come and go in a flow
Bring me along
Oh let the soup get burned in its pot
The holes grow bigger in the socks

My heart is beating
It goes boom boom boom
Both my feet
Wanna march right out of the room
It's like a fever hey I don't feel fine
I wanna leave you baby
But our veins are entwined

Oh no I'm sitting on a chair
Sing oh man I'm sitting on a chair
Oh no I'm sitting on a chair
I wanna leave you baby but our veins are entwined
Oh no I'm sitting on a chair
Sing oh man I'm sitting on a chair
Oh no I'm sitting on a chair
Sitting on a wooden chair

Wait don't go
Where holes begin to grow
Never say no
Stay

Wait don't go
I'm not gonna go there
Ain't gonna go
Where holes begin to grow
Ain't gonna go
I'm not gonna go there
Ain't gonna leave my baby
‘Cause our veins are entwined

Oh no I'm sitting on a chair
Sing oh man I'm sitting on a chair
Oh no I'm sitting on a chair
I wanna leave you baby but our veins are entwined
Oh no I'm sitting on a chair
Sing oh man I'm sitting on a chair
Oh no I'm sitting on a chair
Sitting on a wooden chair

Porcelain Castle

There is only clear soup
In the pot
I left it on the stove for you
Piping hot
But the table spoons are stained
And full of holes
I haven't changed the sheets since
Five weeks back
When you left us
I rip them into rags
Wind them round my chest
Oh like a bandage

Oh I build a porcelain castle
Of the cups you used to drink from
I build a porcelain castle
On my dirty kitchen sink
I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake
I give a stranger on the street
All your clothes and all unsent letters
That I wrote to you
You are sailing a white ship
While row row row row a boat
Everybody seems to know
That a father should protect his kids
It has turned the opposite way
They adore you still
While you left us here in badlands

Oh I build a porcelain castle
Of the cups you used to drink from
Oh I build a porcelain castle
On my dirty kitchen sink

Row row row a boat
Row row row a boat
Row row row a boat…

There is only clear soup
In the pot
I left it on the stove for you
Piping hot
But the table spoons are stained
And full of holes

Oh I build a porcelain castle
Of the cups you used to drink from
I build a porcelain castle
On my dirty kitchen sink

I build a porcelain castle
Of the cups you used to drink from
I build a porcelain castle
On my dirty kitchen sink

Anchor Made of Gold

Box of matches and a pocket knife
Some lumps of sugar this will save my life
While my heart is full of confidence, my head is a mess
I've got a golden anchor hanging round my neck

I said, no I'm hauling up no white flag
No, I'm sending out the troops
No I'm hauling up no white flag
No, don't need more water in the soup
My mama told me this would bring me luck
‘Cause it's an anchor made of gold
I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake
I'm gonna build me a black little boat
Gonna sew a thin white sail
And learn the messages from the wind
Learn if a storm is gathering

Braid a hat of golden grass
It'll protect me from the sun
Learn the meaning of the rain
Collect the water in a can

Girl what are you searching for
I haven't been told
Girl what takes you further
An anchor made of gold
An anchor made of gold

Tighten the ropes when in dangerous heights
Wear three layers of coats in the cold cold night
I know I will survive I am no baby bird
I've got a golden anchor, it will save me so I've heard

No, I'm hauling up no white flag
No, I'm sending out the troops
No, I'm hauling up no white flag
No, don't need more water in the soup
My mama told me this would bring me luck
‘Cause it's an anchor made of gold

I'm gonna build me a black little boat
Gonna sew a thin white sail
And learn the messages from the wind
Learn if a storm is gathering

Braid a hat of golden grass
It'll protect me from the sun
Learn the meaning of the rain
Collect the water in a can

Girl what are you searching for
I haven't been told
Girl what takes you further
An anchor made of gold
An anchor made of gold

I'm gonna build me a black little boat
Gonna sew a thin white sail
And learn the messages from the wind
Learn if a storm is gathering

Braid a hat of golden grass
It'll protect me from the sun
An anchor made of
An anchor made of gold

Girl you gonna find what you're search
Girl you gonna find what you're search
You have to go further, further

Girl you gonna find what you're search
Girl you gonna find what you're search
But you have to push harder, harder

Girl you gonna find what you're search
Girl you gonna find what you're search
You have to go further, further...

I know you have it in you...

Bad Waters

Let them search for us
We will not return for a while
Let them call our names
The wind will blow them back anyhow

It's oh so sweet
Your hair grown long oh shoulder long
It's oh so sweet out there
My back has turned strong

Can we hide here forever
Can we hide here forever babe
Look what we found
What we found is a wasteland
Can we stay here for all time darling
We left what we had
Across the bad waters
I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake
We couldn't get along with them
We couldn't sing our songs with them
Look all the landmarks have been erased
We couldn't get along with them
We couldn't sing our songs with them
Look our old land has been replaced

We walked the dry fields, the dry fields
You're humming a song I've heard
A song I've once heard
I know the words

It's oh so sweet
But I'm telling you now
That we keep knocking on the wrong door
Oh let the wind blow
‘Cause we can't go back

We must stay here forever
We must stay here forever babe
Look what we found
What we found our wasteland
Can we stay here for all time honey
We left what we had
Across the bad waters

We couldn't get along with them
We couldn't sing our songs with them
Look all the landmarks have been erased
We couldn't get along with them
We couldn't sing our songs with them
Oh what a waste
What a waste

Let's stay here forever babe
Let's stay here for all times honey
Let's stay here forever babe
Let's stay here for all times honey

Can we hide here forever babe
Look what we found
Can we stay here for all time darling
We left what we had
Across the bad waters

We couldn't get along with them
We couldn't sing our songs with them
Look all the landmarks have been erased
We couldn't get along with them
We couldn't sing our songs with them
Look our old land has been replaced

We couldn't get along with them
We couldn't sing our songs with them
Look all the landmarks have been erased
We couldn't get along with them
We couldn't sing our songs with them
Look our old land has been replaced

We couldn't get along with them
We couldn't sing our songs with them
Look all the landmarks have been erased
We hide here forever babe
We stay here for all time darling...

Only Here for the Fight

Are you asleep
Stop with that dream, dream oh no

Oh man, listen up
The holes been fixed in my shirt
Combed my hair with my fingertips
And washed away the dirt
Will I make it
I know I must go on
Am I right or wrong

I won't give up
I'm armed, I'm tough, I'm strong
And prepared for the rough days
I sing the fighters song
‘Cause I will make it
I know I must go on, yeah
I'm only here
I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake
Only here for the fight
Listen to the choir
Only here for the fight
My arms have become so strong
Only here for the fight
Hunker down there's a fire shot
Only here for the fight
Lick the plates clean
Only here for the fight
I don't wanna lose
Only here for the fight
Don't screw it up this time, woman

Wear a coat made of doubt
But I roll up my sleeves
And my pockets full of questions
I'm spitting blood on the street
I remember
What my mama said
Woman always be prepared

For the fight
Listen to the choir
Only here for the fight
My arms have become so strong
Only here for the fight
Hunker down there's a fire shot
Only here for the fight
Lick the plates clean
Only here for the fight
Don't wanna lose this
Only here for the fight

I'm all knocked out
I've fallen asleep
Don't wanna wake up yet
From this wonderful dream

I stalk through the grass
I'm proud like a queen
My eyes are sharp as neon lights
My voice is clear and clean
Oh glorious, oh glorious, the choir sings for me
And for the rest of the herd
The word, the words, the words
You must have heard
And it goes like this

Only here for the fight
Only here for the fight
Only here for the fight
Only here for the fight

Only here for the fight
I don't know
Only here for the fight
Only here for the fight…

Pass Me the Salt

Don't touch it yet it's hot
Your fingertips will fall off
The kitchen's burning while I'm scraping the pots

Come on now eat your food
Cartridges fried and stewed
This table has become a combat zone

Sit down please be calm
Let's load our weapons now
This is a civil war

Oh please pass me the salt
I need some salt, salt
But you go on insult-insulting me

Feed the kids with what we've got
Chicken bones and porridge in a cup
They eat while I fall asleep with an open mouth

Yet no inspiration
Bread will do for ammunition
The fork and knife will be just fine
Grab anything let's start a fight
I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake
What do we know about war
What did we do before
Things we for certain don't remember anymore

Oh please pass me the salt
I need some salt, salt
But you go on insult-insulting me

What do you want my little son
A jack knife or a gun
Don't use that language
And don't chew with an open mouth

Licking for some salt
I'm taking from whoever cups his hand
Looking for some shelter
Looking for a better sweeter land

Do you know what it takes
Have you really passed the test
I think you could do it
If you really wanted to...

Motherhood motherhood
Carved out of wood
Through all your hardships and good deeds
Feel the beat
No thoughts left only mouths to feed

Mother oh motherhood
Carved out of wood
Through all your hardships you must dream
You must dream
Is it a battle
Warm your hands in the heat

Motherhood motherhood
Carved out of wood
Through all your hardships and good deeds
Feel the beat
No thoughts left only mouths to feed
I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake
Mother oh motherhood
Carved out of wood
Through all your hardships you must dream
You must dream
Is it a battle
Warm your hands in the heat
Motherhood motherhood

Hardships

Got to get some gold medals
Come put them on my sleeve
Baby
And a diploma too with my name on top
For all the hardships and deeds
You know what I mean
Do you know what I mean

Push, push the pram, all right
I push till my hands are getting white
Salty tears are rolling down my cheeks
Where's the cigar the awards
Come on before my breasts will start to leak
You know what I mean
Do you know what I mean

If I'd returned from a fight
From a battlefield with some new scars on my face
And shot holes in my knees
If I was bloodstained and wild
If I held a trophy in my arms oh man
Not a newborn child
If I'd returned from a fight
Then people would have called me a hero

Push, push the pram, oh mum
I push it forward until my feet are getting numb
Sweat is dripping down my chest
Haven't seen no medals yet
Baby can I ask you why
I know you can not speak yet son
You know what I mean
Do you know what I mean
I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake
If I'd returned from a fight
From a battlefield with some new scars on my face
And shot holes in my knees
If I was bloodstained and wild
If I held a trophy in my arms oh man
Not a newborn child
If I'd returned from a fight
Then people would have called me a hero

If I'd returned from a fight
From a battlefield with some new scars on my face
And shot holes in my knees
If I was bloodstained and wild
If I held a trophy in my arms oh man
Not a newborn child
If I'd returned from a fight
Then people would have called me a hero

Through all the hardships and the deeds
No nights sleep but some haunting dreams
Through all your hardships you must dream...

We Had Everything

Nothing
We had nothing
Nothing but the air
That we were gasping for

Not much
We hadn't much
But we had many dreams
And a list of what we lacked

Oh enough
I could tell we had enough
I carried my own children
Upon my back

Everything
Now I know that now
We had everything though we did not know
We had love
I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake
So now what I'm dreaming of
Hey what I'm longing for
Who's there to save me now

Soon it's all gone with the wind
It's flying like a kite of paper in the storm
Soon it's all gone with the wind
It's flying like a kite of paper in the storm
Soon it's all gone with the wind
It's flying like a kite of paper in the storm

Nothing
We had nothing
But the roof had many holes
And it was raining

Not much
We hadn't much at all
But at least we saw the stars
During the starlit nights

Oh enough
I swear we had enough
A fireplace in the middle
Where we gathered all of us

Everything
I know I know that now
We had everything though we did not know
We had love

So now what I'm dreaming of
Hey what I'm longing for
Who's there to save me now

Soon it's all gone with the wind
It's flying like a kite of paper in the storm
Oh soon it's all gone with the wind
It's flying like a kite of paper in the storm
No, no, soon it's all gone with the wind
It's flying like a kite of paper in the storm

We had nothing
We had not much
We had enough
Please don't ever let us have too much...

Strings of Glass

Like a song you have sung
Ever since you were young, little baby boy
The words tattooed upon your tongue
You can tell the right from wrong
Know your mothers and fathers of generations
You know where you belong

All though this song is drifting like a gas
Played on a guitar made of driftwood
Strings of glass
It's hard to catch, impossible to stop
Now, go with the flow, with the rhythm, the rhyme
The stampin' on the floor

I put a chalk in my hand, draw a land
Draw the lines for rivers and streets
Raise a mountain made of concrete
Grab a stone, pick some straws, build a shelter
Please come here, I'll let you in
I hold you tight against my skin
I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake
Oh love, the hissing sound of you
Whining like a harsh hymn
Howling like a blues
I know you're impossible to stop
So I go with the flow, with the rhythm, the rhyme
The stampin' on the floor

Let it blow, let it blow
Just don't let me know
Where it will blow

Let it blow, let it blow
Just don't let me know
Where we will go

Hold my breath, I can't control
I'm sliding, falling down in a hole
Oh, wow! Oh, man, love is like no other song
Oh, please let them in
Let the choir sing
To the beat, to the flow
The stampin' on the floor

Now what about the things I've learnt
I stare at the blue sky
Potatoes getting burnt
I can't explain, but nothing seems too far away
I can have it if I'd like
I think I can, if I dare

Like a song you have sung
Ever since you were young, little baby boy
The words tattooed upon your tongue
You must know the right from wrong
Know the rhythm, the rhyme, the beating
The stampin' on the floor

Let it blow, let it blow
Just don't let me know
Where it will blow

Let it blow, let it blow
Just don't let me know
Where we will go
Where we will go

Opposition

Oh, you're gonna give me my freedom back
Just so I can ride along
I'm gonna give you the pale light of my eyes
I'm gonna give you my name in return
Come on and take what you wanna have
Gonna give you now what you need

Oh, you're gonna give me my freedom back
I'm trading the salt of my tears
I'll give you the dark pearls of my blood
How many of us must stumble, fall
Come take what you wanna have
And I'll give you now what you need

Come give it to me
Can't change my heart, we need this opposition
Come give it to me
Can't wait no more, can't simulate it

Dust and dirt come in a hurricane
Freedom is a state, we need some change

Come kick down the fence
Come give me change

Gimme what I need, no offense now

Dust and dirt come in this hurricane
Freedom is a word you can't explain
Now dust and dirt come in a hurricane
Freedom is a state, we need some change

Come give me a change

Restless Wind

Yet my scar
Is red across my heart
The skeletons will come bang my drum
Watching my bones they're banging on the drum

Yeah, my scar
So fresh across my heart
The fever is my child
Like hurricanes, wild!
I hold my breath

Give me moonlight for my trip
I'm running barefoot in the grit
Restless wind will carry me

Send a flash right through my spine
Oh lit me up, make me divine
Restless wind will carry me

Yet my scar
Is red across my heart
I'm tripping on my toes
Dancing with the ghosts
Fading in and out in pirouettes now

Yet, my scar
So fresh across my heart
A ghostly autograph
Across my chest

Give me moonlight for my trip
I'm running barefoot in the grit
Restless wind will carry me
I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake
Send a flash right through my spine
Oh lit me up, make me divine
Restless wind will carry me

Give me moonlight for my trip
I'm running barefoot in the grit
Restless wind, you make me wild
Come on and let me ride your back

Yet my scar
Is red across my heart
The skeletons will come bang my drum
Watching my bones, they're banging on the drum

Yet my scar
So fresh across my heart
I'm tripping on my toes
Dancing with the ghosts
Fading in and out in pirouettes now

Yet my scar
Is red across my heart
The skeletons will come bang my drum
Watching my bones, they're banging on the drum

Yet my scar
So fresh across my heart
I'm tripping on my toes
Dancing with the ghosts
Fading in and out in pirouettes now

Yet my scar
Yet my scar
Yet my scar
I hold my breath

Give me moonlight for my trip
I'm running barefoot in the grit
Restless wind, you make me wild
Come on and let me ride your back

Send a flash right through my spine
Oh lit me up, make me divine
Restless wind will carry me
Come on and let me ride your back

Give me moonlight for my trip
I'm running barefoot in the grit
Restless wind, you make me wild
Come on and let me ride your back

Give me moonlight for my trip
I'm running barefoot in the grit
Restless wind, you make me wild
Come on and let me ride your back

My History

The blood in my veins
Is a river but more wild
The bones in my body
Is an army of warriors with diamond eyes

My heart is a beast
A torpedo with a magical spell
The tongue in my mouth
Sharp as a sword hidden in the hand

Don't push me, push me, push push me
Oh don't push me, push me, push push me
I said don't push me, push me, push push me
Don't push me, push me, push push me

I hear the beat of my history
I am the beat, this is my destiny
I hear the beat of my history
I am the beat

The blood in my veins
Is a river but more wild
The bones in my body
Is an army of warriors with diamond eyes

My heart is a beast
A torpedo with a magical spell
The tongue in my mouth
Sharp as a sword hidden in the hand

Said, army of warriors with diamond eyes
So don't push me, push me, push push me
Oh don't push me, push me, push push me
But don't push me, push me, push push me
I said don't push me, push me, push push me
I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake
Don't push me, push me, push push me
Don't push me, push me, push push me
Don't push me, push me, push push me
Don't push me, push me, push push me
I said don't push me, push me, push push me

A better future more and more

Mean Bone

I have a mean bone connected to
All the black, dark and bad things that you do
I have a mean bone connected to
The black things, the dark things the old bad things, you know

I have a mean bone connected to
All the black and the dark things that you do
I've got a mean bone connected to
My history, my histories

University Of My Soul

Newspapers
I use them as blankets
I made audacity my roof
Me, the pauper
Need no paper
No authors
I proclaim
I'm the poet
The opposer
The magician
The politician
Good ideas come out in limited edition
So listen
This is a testimony
We're running out of light, right
We're running out of days, huh
Running into darkness
Ruins
Libraries are shutting down
Schools are burning down
Our leaders must fall down
And let the women wear the crown
Let them take over
From the underground
To the streets, to the churches
From the cities to the deserts
To the parliaments
Don't you judge me, just give me a coin
You need this education, boy
Straight from the university of my soul

Autobiography

Can't put it down with words
Can not put it down with letters
The scar is my only proof
The scar is my autobiography
I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake
Can't put it down with words
Can not put it down with letters
The scar is my only proof
The scar is my autobiography

Pyramids (Rose Out of Our Pain)

I came with the wind
Got sand on my tongue
Strike me again
The beat will make me young

I came with the wind
And danced through the dust
Whose strike me once more
Hey, beat me til I bust

And how could I rest
I got a storm in my veins
The pyramids rose out of our pain
Pyramids rose out of my pain

I've got problems, problems, all I know
Welcome trouble, get on board
Leather jackets, raw and brute
Gold and jade, a Jesus-suit

Give us hunger, give us draught
Give us poisoned water
Swarms of locusts ate our bread
Fever, damage, rats in bed

Problems problems made us wild
Tutankhamun died as a child
Nectar bleeds out of this root
Floods of blood run through Beirut
I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake
Give us hunger, give us draught
Give us poisoned water
Give me holes in my hands
Pyramids rose out of my pain

Problems problems, all I know
You're not a stranger, get on board
Riots, streets lies in a mess
All the legends will bleed to death

I came with the wind
Got sand on my tongue
Strike me again
The beat makes me young

And how could I rest
I got a storm in my veins
The pyramids rose out of our pain

I've got problems, problems, all I know
Welcome trouble, get on board
Leather jackets, raw and brute
Gold and jade, a Jesus-suit

Give us hunger, give us draught
Give us poisoned water
Swarms of locusts ate our bread
Fever, damage, rats in bed

Problems problems made us wild
Tutankhamun died as a child
Nectar bleeds out of this root
Floods of blood run through Beirut

Give us hunger, give us draught
Give us poisoned water
Give me holes in my hands
Pyramids rose out of my pain

Pyramids rose out of my pain
Pyramids rose out of my pain
Pyramids rose out of my pain

Give me holes in my hands
Pyramids rose out of my pain

Problems problems made us wild
Tutankhamun died as a child
Nectar bleeds out of this root
Floods of blood run through Beirut

Give us hunger, give us draught
Give us poisoned water
Give me holes in my hands
Pyramids rose out of my pain

Battle With God

Hey, do you hear me, no
Can you give me a sign
I see the bush that burns
Fire won't burn it down

Oh, do you hear me, no
Play with me, give me harder times
I know you hear me though
'Cause my blood turned to water, my staff into a snake
I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake
Oh, do you hear me, no-o
Oh, give me more and more-oh
I know you hear me, no-o
Praying for more and more

I know you hear me though
Send in the sun and the shade will make a difference
I know you hear me now
Give me a blow

Run away
I'm gonna run away
I'm gonna run away
Gonna run away through walls

Run away
Run away
Run away from it all

Said I'm gonna run away
Run away
Run away from it all

Fire won't burn it down down

Hey, do you hear me now
Come close to me slow
Just give me a blow

Building a house
Deconstruct it
Make no regrets
Di-digging a hole
Fill it up
Oh, make no regrets

The grit
The dirt or the dust
Won't make no regrets
And Judas, poor man
It's too late
For your regrets

Come over to the other side
I'll give you a helping hand
Come over to the other side
I'll give you a helping hand

Come over to the other side
I'll give you a helping hand
Come over to the other side

The Soup

Imagine yourself
In this soup kitchen
It's like an altar
Where you recognize all the legends
All the losers
The drifters, the battle cruisers
And like a heavenly choir

The beggars in the streets
They sing their "please"
With blisters on their tongues
Burnt from the heat of this song
The Soup
I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake
Whittle me down to a strong thin reed
Follow this recipe to match my need
Then simmer me slow in the freedom cup
Until my marrow's left to sup

Legends and ghosts all you hungry wild ones
I feel the mourning comes from every corner
Now gimme a roar you pack of lions
Gimme a cure my blood will start a riot
Gimme the, gimme the soup

Oh, do you wanna taste the soup
Come on take a sip from the spoon
Oh, do you wanna taste the soup
Come on take a sip from the spoon

Oh, do you wanna taste the soup
Come on take a sip from the spoon
Oh, do you wanna taste the soup
Come on take a sip from the spoon

Blisters on your tongues
Burnt from the heat of this song
Guess this soup might give you the spark
Oh my God, your eyes are glowing in the dark

Said, gimme a roar you pack of lions
Gimme a cure my blood will start a riot
Gimme the, gimme the, gimme

Yeah, gimme a roar you pack of lions
Gimme a cure my heart will start a fire
Gimme the, gimme the soup

Oh, do you wanna taste the soup
Come on take a sip from the spoon
Oh, do you wanna taste the soup
Come on take a sip from the spoon

Oh, oh, do you wanna taste the soup
Come on take a sip from the spoon
Oh, do you wanna taste the soup
Come on take a sip from the spoon

Said, gimme a roar you pack of lions
Gimme a cure my blood will start a riot
Gimme the, gimme the, gimme

Yeah, gimme a roar you pack of lions
Gimme a cure my heart will start a fire
Gimme the, gimme the

Oh, do you wanna taste the soup
Come on take a sip from the spoon
Oh, do you wanna taste the soup
Come on take a sip from the spoon

Oh, oh, do you wanna taste the soup
Come on take a sip from the spoon
Oh, do you wanna taste the soup
Come on take a sip from the spoon

Ghost Station

Will there be blood
Yeah, there will be rivers of blood
Will there be blood
Yeah, there will be rivers of blood

You know I'm here now
To lead you I'm the chosen one
But why, oh, why
I have nothing to give you yet

God you took me aside
And whispered the words right through my mind
With an urgency of hurricanes
The whispers whirled like hurricanes
Through my past, my future, my life

Will there be darkness
And only moments of lights
Will there be a heart that beats too fast to cease
I'm running out in the night
The machinery of night
Is pumping pumping
My heart is pounding as well
I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake
I need to climb down the stairs
Fly down the escalators
Goodbye kids now, see you later
Running down to the platform where
The ghosts and shadows wait for me
Goodbye life, take care
You might think I'm a pale light of history now
But I am your future, the blazing light, the neon light
And I can not be wrong
Until I have been right

Oh, you see, it's too soon
For these rivers of blood
But he made up his mind
He took me aside
Blew sand in my eyes
Led me like you lead a blind
Down in the maze
I'm almost lost in this haze

Hey, hey, he gave me a kiss
A gorgeous long dangerous demanding kiss
Don't stop it yet
This magnetism
Oh, he sucked the air out of my lungs

Come on you crazy people
Line up after me
'Cause I'm the craziest of you all
We are the wind that blows
Between the trains
From one station to the next
The flickering breeze
The chill that makes you freeze
We're the future
You're the past
You're standing at the platform, right
Are you waiting for my train
Oh God, will there be blood

Need to climb down the stairs
Fly down the escalators
To the platform
Listen
I'm here fifty years too soon

Rapin

Late at night
Walking home
Too drunk
Been dancing
At a club
Out of town
Beam me up
And take me down
Did you pick me 'cause there's nobody around
Up, another round
Come on and pick me
Because you wanna drag me down
Beam me up
And take me down
I'm a victim 'cause there's nobody around

Well, we're home
Wanna sit on my couch
Ouch
What
What happened after this
He made me do these things
My mind was drifting off, drifting off
you always copy, paste and cheat
If you don't stop
Hey turn around
Did you pick me 'cause there's no one else around
Hold up
Another round
I'm a victim 'cause you wanna drag me down
Stop
Turn around
Do I realize this's happening right now
Hold up
Another round
I'm a victim 'cause there's no one else around

Two days later I couldn't speak
I couldn't sleep
Icouldn't find out how to be me
And I went to the doctor who said:
”Come here tell us everything a pill, a test
And a blood pressure, plastic cup to piss in and
You have to take your clothes off”
I had to show my body again

I'm not at home

If you don't stop
Hey turn around
Did you pick me 'cause there's no one else around
Hold up
Another round
I'm a victim 'cause you wanna drag me down
Stop
Turn around
Do I realize this's happening right now
Hold up
Another round
I'm a victim 'cause there's no one else around

If you don't stop
Hey turn around
Did you pick me 'cause there's no one else around
Hold up
Another round
I'm a victim 'cause you wanna drag me down

Late at night
Walking home
Too drunk
Late at night
Walking home
Late at night
Walking home
Late at night
Walking home

Lo' Hi'

Wanna know my secret, listen you all
Make sure you won't pass it on
He tracked me down that night
I'll ask you one more time:

Can you keep my secret, listen you all
Anxiety and regret
Won't forget
My cold sweat,
Trapped inside a mosquito net
you always copy, paste and cheat
Pushed me, yeah, you better know
My back and his sharp elbow
His left hand shut me up, but
listen close I said noooo!

Moon was there to watch
witnessed what he did to me
distant white you blind ballon
just didn't give a shit!

Lo' Hi'

Wanna know my secret, listen you all
Make sure you won't pass it on
He tracked me down that night
I'll ask you one more time

Can you keep my secret, listen you all
Anxiety and regret
I won't forget
My cold sweat
Trapped inside a mosquito net

Pushed me, yeah, you better know
trespassing, in a no-go zone
His left hand shut me up, but
listen close I said noooo!

Pushed me, yeah, you better know
His right hand and his dick in a hole
Close my eyes can't verbalize,
Trapped, oh God I'm paralyzed

Lo' Hi'

Wanna know my secret, listen you all
Make sure you won't pass it on
He tracked me down that night
I'll ask you one more time

Can you keep my secret, listen you all
Make sure you won't pass it on
I won't forget my cold sweat
Trapped inside a mosquito net

Disrespect is universal

Come on
Here he comes again
Glasses
Jeans and jacket
Blond hair
Nothing special
Hard to recognize
Could be anyone

Violator
Not a monster
Just a guy
In our society
Combat-green
Converse
Disrespect, you know
Is universal
you always copy, paste and cheat
Come on over
Identify him
It's impossible
I'm just saying
Disgrace and
Impropriety
Could be any guy
Blame the society

Blame the history
Blame the power
Blame the structure, yeah
Blame the Bible
Blame the bombs of war
Blame the body
Blame the society

Who am I
I am anyone
Just like he who raped me
Opportunity
Makes the thief they say
Disrespect is universal

Who's afraid of who

Who's afraid of who
I'll come back to you, you'll never forget
I've got the talent to tell, it's like a spell
Every single step you will take from now
A needle that aches from now
I'll give you my pain
Oh, sure you can regret your mistake
But hey, it is too late
You've got to live with this shame instead
Look who's haunting of who
I'll come back to you, you'll never forget
I've got the talent to tell

Come on over
Identify him
It's impossible
I'm just saying
Blame the structure
Blame the power

Come on over
Identify him
It's impossible
I'm just saying
Blame the Bible
Blame the bombs of war
Not my body

Vicious, vicious, don't go there
Got to do it if I dare
The tracks beneath, the train beyond
I opened up for you
You saw the bottom of my soul, babe
I'm going through one last change

You love me like you never ever loved no one
Is this why you strip me down
Oh it hurts, oh
You tell me that you need me more than I need you
That's why you bring me down
Boy, oh it hurts
Oh, it hurts
Come on and tell me that you love me loke no one else
Is that why you strip me down to the bones
Boy, you take me down
Stay with me, I'll promise you to give what you want
You're crazy about me, making crazy things with me
I could lose it, I can't chose it
But I do it for you

Oh, it hurts
Oh, it

Take another step on the platform
Did I, did I just do it
Vicious, vicious, don't go there
Got to do it if I dare
One last change
Crazy about me
You are crazy about me

Your angry bible

You, you did your best
Piece by piece
You criticized everything about me

I almost believed in the words
You hammered in
You told me that your love to me
Was greater than anything I've had
you always copy, paste and cheat
Six o' clock in the morning
I got that warning from you
Is it you
It's you
And you're mad at me, you're raging like a storm
And you accused me just for being me
You confused me, well

I took you out for lunch one day
To celebrate our first half year
I thought I really needed you
And your anger, your angry Bible

I said, oh
i'm searching
Searching for the truth
This is making me confused

It's true
I believe
In your angry
Bible

Oh, I'm searching for the truth

Babe, baby
I couldn't save this
Babe, baby
No one could save us

On our 6 months anniversary
I took you out on a restaurant
The flowers that I gave to you
You hit them in my head

On our 6 months anniversary
You hated me, I know that now
The flowers that I gave to you
You hit them in my head

Oh, I'm searching for the truth

Babe, baby
I couldn't save this
Babe, baby
No one could save us

I'm sinking

Exorcism

If I push and press
I will find out your address
I will figure out a plot
And walk the asphalt 'til it's hot

yeah i'll pull your hair
I will squeeze you, 'cause I dare
I'll promise to remind you
And make sure you will regret it

I am ready for this fight
Be prepared for some bad news to arrive
Oh I'm ready for this fight
Stains of blood on the horizon

You know
You know
Do you know
you always copy, paste and cheat
You puffed, you huffed
For a decade or for two
Yeah, you squeezed my arms
'Til they both turned blue

Do I push my luck
Am I still here stuck
I must struggle to come up
I'm like a dandelion

I am ready, anytime
be prepared for some bad news to arrive
Oh, I'm ready, anytime
Stains of blood on the horizon

Boy you grabbed my neck
With your nails and all
And you held my legs
And you made me spraw

Boy you shut me up
For a century
And I became a dungeon dragon
You became my enemy

It's love

It's love
And I'm sacred
I can not regret
What I felt for you
Can I ever see
Why I turn back to

Love
When I'm scared
I can not regret
What I felt for you
Can I ever see
Why it's so bad
you always copy, paste and cheat
My love
Yes I'm scared
I can not regret
What I felt for you
Can I ever see
Why I turn back to

Love
When I'm scared
I can not regret
What I felt for you
Can I ever see
Why it's so bad
It's love

Forever is A Long Time

Stay awake forever
And forever is a long time

I stay awake forever
And you know forever's a very long time

Think about the future
You know the future's a disappointment
you always copy, paste and cheat
Kepp my eyes open
I know it is too late
Ain't gonna be alright
Keep my eyes open
I know it is too late
Ain't gonna be alright
Not this time

Babe, won't you stay
Stay with me
Babe, through the darkness
Stay with me
Babe, can't you promise me
It's gonna be alright

Stay awake forever
You know forever is long time

Keep my eyes open
Think I can see what went wrong

I think about the future
But the future just disappoints me

Keep my eyes open
I know it is too late
Ain't gonna be alright
Keep my eyes open
I know it is too late
It ain't gonna be alright
Not this time

Dåren I Mig

Hej!
Jag föddes desperar
Med ett hjärta som slar dubbelslag
Dunkar snabbt, natt och dag

Hade liver blivit bekymmersfritt
Om jag kommit ur err kejsarsnitt?
Hade jag haft mer vett då?

Dåren i mig måste ut
Dåren i mig våller
Ut!

Vaknar tidigt med ett ryck
Kastar i mig mat och dryck
Våd har jag så bråttom till?

Skrev visst inget avskedsbrev
Och "måasterverket" uteblev
Tur var väl det?

Dåren i mig måste ut
Dåren i mig våller
Ut!

Förvanta dig inget
Förvanta dig ingenting av mig
Än

Ah, jag klipper av mig mitt hår
För jag vill glömma den jag var i går
Vem var jag då?

Men kanske om jag stillar mig
Om dramatiken skingrar sig
Kan allt bli okej?

Ge Mig Nat Starkt

Det började redan hösten när allt föll för mig
Hade inte längre ork att va stark
Så jag höll mig undan från ljuset

Hela dagen, med metodisk disciplin,
Såg jag alla serier på Netflix och till det så drack jag vin
Öppna flaskan redan där nånstans runt tre
Sen kom barnen hem från skolan och jag börja med maten

Ge mig nåt starkt, nåt lugnande, ett neråttjack
Rulla en cigarett åt mig åtminstone, tack!
Ge mig nåt att förlora mig i
Jag har allt att förlora!

Åh, får man ens tänka så här
När man har tonårsbarn och karriär

Allt började redan hösten efter en lång turné
förvirrad, jag var ensam, sjönk allt djupare ner
5/5, jag var prisad och belönad men
vem älskar den som inte ens gillar sig själv

Gick det veckor? Kanske månader och år
Tappade räkningen, blev senil i min deppiga exil
Fan vad enkelt allting kunde va
men jag har gjort allting i fel ordning

Ge mig nåt starkt, nåt lugnande, ett neråttjack
Cannabis kan väl inte va farligt, så värst?
Om perrongen är helt tom i kväll hoppar jag

Åh, får man ens tänka så här
när man har tonårsbarn och karriär

Kollar ni till käket i ugnen, barn
Ska bara gå en runda med hunden
Jag dras in i natthimlens mörka rund
Vill bara få vila, få vila en stund
Kan nån ta hand om mig

Jag har allt att förlora!

Paralyserad

Paralyserad, jag är paralyserad igen
Vad ska jag göra av allring som hänt mig
Sitter på en stol i ett väntrum å bara glor
Ska jag kvala in den här gåangen, tro

Stockholm, stränga syster, girige bror
Du ber mig gradera från ett till fem min depression
SSRI-öppna-mun-å-svälj, gör mig tunn som flor
Jag säger att jag inte tror
Att jag haft
Några självmordstankar

Då får du ingen hjälp av oss

Så jag googlar "Psykoterapeut i Sthlm" och fåar napp
Femtio minuter KBT för en tusenlapp
Berättar om allting som har hänt igen och igen och igen och igen
Ritar upp en cirkel, vart befinner jag mig i den

Sitt ner i båten när du ror mot öppet hav
Sitt ner i båten så att du inte ramlar av
Vågorna slår med en obestridlig kraft
Oh, jag faller
Över bord
Nu blir allting bättre...

Paralyserad, jag är paralyserad
Paralyserad, jag är paralyserad
Igen

Universums Grymma Lag

Som en kedjas länkar sitter allt ihop
Ska jag berätta
Först min oförmåga om att be om hjälp
Sedan skräcken för att stryka med

Jag tog på ett stenhårt fejs
Och skrev demand
Medan cellgiftet brusa i min sargade kropp
Manisk som en krigskorrespondent
Som inte har nånstans att ta vägen sen

Some en kedjas länkar sitter allt ihop

Efter överlevnad kommer
Övergivenhet
Självförakt
Skivsläpp
Självdestruktivitet

Jag lät sy upp en rustning åt mig
I den vann jag priser fick beröm
Jag var oslagbar
Men ensam i den

Det är universums grymma lag
Det är inget som kan hjälpas
Mörker sugs till mörker
Ja, där är jag

Det är universums grymma lag
Kan inte rå för det
Dåligt söker dåligt
Ja, där är jag

Som en kedjas länkar sitter allt ihop
Det blåser ljumma sommarvindar mot min kind
Nu drar Fruängståget in, jag svajar till
Vill kasta mig ut

Der är inte fullt så romantiskt som om Näcken
Hade dränkt mig med sin vilda magntism
Kan jag, snälla, va din lilla älskling
Jag har ändå redan
Slutat andas ju

Det är universums grymma lag
Det är inget som kan hjälpas
Mörker sugs till mörker
Ja, där är jag

Det är universums grymma lag
Kan inte rå för det
Dåligt söker dåligt
Ja, där ä jag

Finns det nåanting värre än
Ensam, men igenkånd
Finns det nånting värre än
Ensam

Aldrig Ensam Mer

Ät nåt om du är hungrig
Drick vad du vill till det
Vila en stund om du behöver
Och dröm dig bort

Sjung en sorgsen sång om kärlek
Känn saltet fråan varenda tår
Visst, det är okej att röka
Men snälla, inte i sängen

Öppna upp fönstret
Låt vårluft strömma in
Vi vet ju ända om att
Allting börjar om

Ser du spindelns vackra väv i taket
Och molnens mjuka tlykt
Du vet väl om att du kan he mig
Om hjälp, om du vill

Öppna upp fönstret
Låt vårluft strömma in
Vi vet ju ända om att
Allting börjar om

Hoppas du inte hoppar
Hoppar om du tappat hoppet

Jag kan gärna va din syster
Om jag får
Jag vill gärna va din syster
Du ska aldrig va ensam mer

Aldrig ensam mer

Dela På Ett Moln

Dan jag först träffa dig
I en glänta i skopen, tog du min hand
Du drog mig ner,mot högsommargräset
Och nakna låg vi där med varann
Vi dela på ett molm som smälte
På tungan
Jag simma in i dig
I dina mjuka ögon, som en dalsländsk sjö
En sommarkyäll

Och där så sa du att du älskar mig
Du sa det känns som om du måste säga det ikväll
Men också att jag aldrig kommer höra dig
Säga dom orden
Dom orden igen

Vi dela på ett moln, som smälte
På tungan
Vi dela på ett moln, som smälte ihop oss
Jag simma in i dig
I dina mjuka ögon, som en stilla sjö
En sommarkvall

Och där så sa du att du älskar mig
Du sa det känns som om du måste säga det ikväll
Men också att jag aldrig kommer höra dig
Säga dom orden
Dom orden igen

Njut nu
Njut nu
Njut, bara njut
Njut

Tånk Om Nåt Händer

Jag alskar att leva
Men just nu känns det svårt
Väntar på ett tecken
Jag tror på ödets blixtnedslag
Påminn mig hur man lever
För jag har glömt bort hur man gör
Finns det nåra vilda blommor kvar
Snälla plocka nån åt mig

Tänk m det vänder nu
Tänk om nåt händer
Tänk om det visar sig snart
Att allting var helt stjärnklart
Tänk om jag kasnke har tur
Händer nåt fantastiskt nu

Jag älskar att leva
Men vad bekymrar mig så
Jo, varje gång jag ser ett stup
Vill jag kasta mig rätt ut
Men helst vill jag egentligen
Bara få va
Stilla vid en vän
Som är försiktig med mig

Får jag va din blomma
Om äu i sprucker krus
Dra upp mig då med roten
Och ge mig massvis av ljus
Tânk om der vänder nu
Tänk om nåt händer
Tänk om jag kastar mig ut
Och vågar leva som förut
Tânk om det visar sig snart
Att allting var helt stjärnklart
Tänk om jag kanske jag kanske har tur
Händer nåt fantastiskt nu

å nej
Är det redan för sent för mig

Nej, Jenny
Du hinner än
Men skynda dig

Stannar Mitt I Steget

Stannar mig själv mitt i steget
Fastän jag längtar efter att bara springa ut
Snälla, häll mig kvar
Innan jag förstört nåt som är bra

Stanna ett tag och påmminn mig då
Att du tycker om mig
För mörkret tjusar mig
Med sin maniska övertalningsförmåga

Stannar mig själv mitt i steget
Fastän jag vill tappa greppet
åh, hall mig kvar
Jag Vet att du kan göra det

Snälla, håll mig kvar i kväll
åh, snälla låt mig gå
Snälla, låt mig skada mig
Jag vet vad jag vill åt

Sbälla, håll mig håart och hjälp mig
Fylla mina hål
Snälla, låt mig va ifred
Jag vet nog vad jag tål

Gud vad den drar, hunder i mig
åh, den måste rastas
Rastlöshet du vet
år ett finare ord för ångest

Stannar ett tag om du påminner om
Att du tycker om mig
När mörkret trugar mig
Med gränslösa förföriska knep

Jag lovar
m du lovar
Att du stannar
Då stannar jag

Prata Med Mig

Nu har jag ställr för höga krav
Ställt för många frågor på en rad
Kan inte hjälpa att jag inte tål
När jag inte vet hur jag ska nå dig

Det är inte mörkret som skrämmer
Det är alltid tystnaden som gör det sämre

Nu har jag repat upp en stilla väv
Och stökat runt för sannings skull
Men om nånting måste brytas
Så är det tystnaden och inte vår romans

Det är inte mörkret som skrämmer
Det är alltid tystnaden som gör det sämre
Det är inte mörkret som förstör
Det är alltid tystnaden som förgör

Kom, kom, kom
Vänd om, kom
Vänd dig om
Kom
Prata med mig

Gör Vad Som Helst För Dig

Jagkan va din bror, kan va din syster
Jag kan va en främling eller vän
Saknar du mig om jag ger mig av nu
Jag tillhör ingen annan än mig själv
Men jag gör vad som helst för dig

Om jag ska va ärlig, och det ska jag
Kastar jag mig hellre över bord
Innan båten ens har börjat knaka
Så stor är rädslan att du lämnar mig

Jag kan bli vem som helst för dig
Gör vad du vill med mig

Jagkan va din bror, kan va din syster
Jag kan va en främling eller vän
Saknar du mig om jag ger mig av nu
Jag tillhör ingen annan än mig själv

Men jag gör vad som helst för dig
Blir vem som helst för dig
Gör vad du vill med mig

Gör vad som helst för dig
Gör vad som helst för dig
Vad som helst
Så att du inte lämmar mig

Behöver inget mer

åh, håller du vakt i natt
åh, håller du vakt i natt
Håller du vakt
åh, håll om mig
Så mörkret inte når in
åh, håller du om mig
Jag behöver ingenting mer

åh, om du blåser på mig
Försvinner nog min andnöd
åh, du blåser mig frisk
Jag som trodde jag var död
åh, våck mig nu
Ur min tunga drömlösa sömm
åh, väck mig nu
Så att mina tio år som död kan ta slut

Ljus
Jag följer dig
Följer dig
Ljus
Jag följer dig
Följer dig

Jag kommer närmare
Närmare
Närmre dig
Jag blir varmare
Vill bli varmare
Vill bli brånd
Så att der känns

Aha, är det en dröm
Är det en dröm
Är det en dröm
Är det en dröm

Shadow Of A Doubt

(Sonic Youth cover / Jenny Wilson and Frida Hyvönen)

Met a stranger on a train
He bumped right into me
I swear I didn't mean it
I swear it wasn't meant to be

Must have been a dream
From a thousand years ago
I swear I didn't mean it
I swear it wasn't meant to be

From the bottom of my heart
He was looking all over me
"You take me and I'll take you"
"You kill him & I'll kill her"

I swear it wasn't meant to be
I swear I didn't mean it
Kiss me
Kiss me in the shadow of
Kiss me in the shadow of a doubt
Kiss me
Kiss me in the shadow
Kiss me in the shadow of a doubt

It's just a dream
It's just a dream I had
Swear it's just a dream
A dream I've had

Met a stranger on a train
He bumped right into me
I swear I didn't mean it
I swear it wasn't meant to be

Must have been a dream
From a thousand years ago
Kiss me
Kiss me in the shadow of a doubt
Kiss me
