Any which way you go

Before you leave me behind
There is something you must understand
Before you travel so far away from me
There is something I want you to have
My hand on the forehead
My tear on my cheek
My kiss so you know that yet
Any which way you go, any which way you go
I will follow

Before you catch your bus
And paint the whole sky gray
Before you do your own Exodus
There is something I want you to have
My hand on the forehead
My sorrow, my heart
My word so you know where I stand
Any which way you go, any which way you go
I will follow

I am there – I’ll always be there
Mmm, I am here –I’ll always be here…

If you only want

Lay you arm around my neck so you are near
There’s nothing more you have to carry
Let your hair down, a silver tear
Lay your head on my pillow

If you only want, let me know
I can be your friend when the night falls
If you only would open your door
And only dare to let someone in…

There is a sorrow in your eyes which I don’t reach
There is a sorrow in your heart which is hard to understand
How did it end up there? How did it end up there?
It is black like black granite

If you only want, let me know 
I can be your friend when darkness falls
If you only would open your door
And start to breath and let someone in

Strolling through town 

I met her a Tuesday night
A clear blue night in the moonlight
She was on her way to a taxi home
But I took my hat and conjured forth a treasure
A stroll through town
Sha la la... he-he-hey!

It was June and simple decisions
Although there were a thousand things to do
But what does one need more
Than to calmly take part of everything that happens
On a stroll through town
Sha la la... he-he-hey!

We passed by Norre Port
And further away along where the Nissan leads
Nobody should be alone
When one can be a couple in a summer town
On a stroll through town
Sha la la... he-he-hey!

Almost as far away as Kärleken 
In a cloud of bird cherry she said: “We part here”
Fingertips caressing was all we had time for
Before she disappeared 
On a stroll through town
A stroll through town
Sha la la... he-he-hey!

Tasting a rain 

-”What’s going on?”
Oooh, Jenny tugs her hand through jet black hair
-“I’m here…”
Mmm, she picks absent-mindedly where all newspapers are standing
It’s cold
November everywhere
Amongst stone and cracked asphalt… gray blocks

I’m tasting a rain that’s falling down, down, down
Somewhere I have a feeling there will be more, more, more
Tasting a rain which pours down night as day
And washes over the whole city

-”Where are you going?”
Ooh, Jenny smiles in that way that makes one fall apart 
-“I’m here…”
Mmm, she says: “You & I don’t have anything, everything we have is right now
And it’s late,
The last bus home leaves soon
And I don’t want to sleep alone anymore…”

I’m tasting a rain that’s falling down down down
Somewhere I have a feeling there will be more more more
Tasting a rain which splashes down night as day
And washes over the whole city

Swinging

I’m sitting and swinging
I’m sitting and swinging
Back and forth
Do you want to join?
I’m sitting and thinking
Daydreaming with my eyes closed
The sun is warm
Do you want to join?
You may join?
And may I ask if I dare
To follow you home
Try! Ask!
The answer is so simply obvious!
I’m sitting and swinging
A berry on my tongue
A blackbird with babies 
Lives next to here 
And may I ask if I dare
To follow you home
Try! Ask!
The answer is so simply obvious!
The answer is so unusually simple!

Birthday

Sometimes it feels as if
As if I always end up wrong
As if I always get an electric shock
And burn out a little every day
Sometimes it feels 
As if I always looked away
As if the easy was too hard
And way to big
You sleep so sweetly in rose-red

Aaaaahhh
Here I am
Today it’s my birthday

Sometimes it feels like
I am an insect on a twig
There lives a lost specialist
Here inside, just under the surface
Sometimes it feels
As if I always pull out
And force the bird into its cage
And how are you?
You sleep so sweetly in rose-red

Aaaaahhh
Here I am
Today it’s my birthday

Slow down my steps 

Slow down my steps
It goes too fast
I can’t catch up
Slow down my steps 
Goes way too fast
I can’t catch up anymore
I yield away
And slow down
Fall away
Slow down
Slow down
You go too fast
I can’t catch up
Slow your steps
Way too fast
I can’t catch up
I yield away
And tumble down
Fall away
Can’t do any more
I can’t do any more

I like when you touch me

Do you recall
A winter-time
You saw a fumbling falling steaming locomotive
Then came the change
The big light summer
Again 

I like when you touch me
I like when I see you by my side
I like when you are with me
I believe it can never be better than this
For me

Do you recall
Was it yesterday?
You took a strange scary man and kissed his hair
Then the wind lead
The beautiful wild birds
To me

I like when you touch me
I like your fingers on my forehead
I like when I mean something to you
It can never feel better than this
For anyone
For me

I like when you touch me
I like your breasts in the morning light
Like when I mean something to you
It can never be better than this
Like when you touch me
I like when I have you by my side
Like when you smile at me for a moment
it can never be better than this
For anyone
For me
For me

Mirror ball

Oooh every time I reach
I put my hand on your thigh
So you feel that I am here
I am there whereever you are
Like light in all directions
Like a mirror ball 

Now you can have me the way you like
And take me where you want to go
We should slow down
But the night asks for more
And who wants to be in control 
under a mirror ball?

Oooh if your love's big prize
Is that its fever makes me wise
I ask a waitress
To bring me more ice
’Cause who wants to be in control 
under a mirror ball?

Too good to be true

I didn’t want to meet my destiny
But you can really believe what you want and can
I dared hardly think that thought
Now there were no thoughts that lasted anywhere
I called this weekend
She said she was free
I twinkled like a diamond
To be true
Too good to be true
Too good to happen in real life
To a man like me

I passed all the red lights
And streets that are still and dry from dust
Sometimes when I feel lonely
I get out in the night and drive as much as I can
I lost my breath
She said “See me Saturday
And meet me at Haverdal beach”
To be true…
Too good to be true
Too good to happen in real life
To a man like me

Here come all the feelings (all at once) 

I should have understood when you looked away,
That everything has an end that everything beautiful is short
Now I sit and freeze on a rainy train platform,
And here come all the feelings all at once,
Here come all the feelings all at once.

We met in the middle of winter when my heart was emptied,
I placed you in the dream that I should have forgotten,
Now it falls from the sky like a broken balloon,
And here come all the feelings all at once,
Here come all the feelings all at once.

I’m sitting alone and hear every train,
Whistling hello from a winding track,
Where are you, one can wonder when the hours pass,
You should have seen how wonderful I’m doing,
I’m will build myself a boat and sail until the spring comes,
I will try to suppress the fragrance of your hair,
I will scream so you will hear trough all the gray concrete,
And here come all the feelings all at once,
Here come all the feelings all at once.

I’m sitting alone and hear every train,
Whistling hello from a winding track,
But it is over, it’s time to wrap things up,
Open the gate because now I’m walking out.
Here come all the feelings all at once,
Here come all the feelings all at once.

I think you carry a big secret

I think you carry a big secret
I think you carry a wet dream about life
But this very year the summer is no one’s friend
This very year the rainbow is out of colors
But when the night comes you go out
You have wings, all the rest are like before
You want to start when all is at end
Breathe in, breathe out
Breathe in, breathe out

Nobody hits me as hard as you
No one sees through me like you do
This very year the fever is extra severe
This very year the instinctive answers are out
And when the night comes you go out
Your fingers untie every knot
For your sake the moon is slightly tilted
Breathe in, breathe out
Breathe in, breathe out

I think you carry a big secret
I think you carry a wet dream about life
But this very year the summer is no one’s friend
This very year the rainbow’s colors have lost their shine
But when the night comes there is a chance
You have wings and everyone else knows your name
And for your sake I do all I can
Everything I say is true
Everything I say is true
Everything I say is… true

Warm again

It turned warm again 
I’d gotten used to my coat 
Everything turned bright again 
A total transformation 

The elevator worked 
I used to run 
Up the stairs 
The sun became a rocket 
Against my wallpaper, 
My ceiling 
Boom boom 

When you came 
You were in full bloom 
So wonderful 
As if I were in a dream 
And I do believe 
That you understood 
When I said 
That I want to remain forever

It turned warm again 
An emotional turmoil so pure from darkness
So obvious in every way 
So strangely right that you came 

Because the dark sorrow
That dwells in every lonely heart
Is as big as a rainy market square
A broken
Old basket 
Completely empty

When you came 
You were in full bloom
So wonderful
As if I were in a dream
And I do believe
That you understood
When I said
That I want to remain forever
That I want to stay forever

There you stood
You stood and smiled
So wonderful
It was like I were in a dream
And I do believe
That you understood
When I said
That I always want remain here forever
That I always want to stay forever 
That I always want to stay forever 
That I always want to stay forever
