Track Name: 37010
37010

Words: L.Lindquist
Music: L.Lindquist

Oh oh oh
37010

With 18 girls and 7 young boys
I spend the days I had a hard rocking friend
He said what if you screw up what if you fail
What is your back up plan if all goes to hell
I said I'm not interested in second hand choices
I'm just interested in pure satisfaction

Oh oh oh
37010

Yes I knew you would say something like this
I am proud of you You're like a brother to me
When you have achieved what you hope to achieve
I will tell the hole town that you told me so
That you said I'm not interested in second hand choices
I'm just interested in pure satisfaction

Oh oh oh
37010

I hate this town just as much as I love it
I like the mornings but I don't like the nights
This city's name starts with a B as in B-plan as in Better settle for less
Why can't it be as in to Be someone special
cause I know we all could be someone special

Oh oh oh
37010

At school in a village with 3000 citizens
we learned the importance of being polite
To go with the flow to blend in with the crowd
To wake up in the morning with a smile on your face
Most of my classmates were blue eyed and blond
with caucasian complexion
would have liked more complexity

Oh oh oh
37010

I've been surrounded by some really good friends
and Daniel you were one of them
I know that you're fine that you're doing okay
I can hear your laughter almost every day
from your house in the woods near the ocean
with the post code 37010

Oh oh oh
37010
Track Name: We Won't get any Younger
We Won't Get Any Younger

Words: L.Lindquist
Music: L.Lindquist

We won't get any younger

Sometimes I look at you
I think that you deserve more
than anyone can ever offer you
But I am here I'm standing next to you
Will still be standing when you're 64

I wish that we could go some place far away
I wish we could afford it
Some place to take a break
some place with no connection
with no connection to the dirty world

We won't get any younger

This is our world
We can do what we want to
That simple thought has kept me up all night
I'm too young not to see that the best days could be ahead of me
and I'm too restless to retire

We won't get any younger

A mouth full of words and my pockets full of melodies
I kept Pablo in a cage for too long
And the radio people suck the proudest men and women
They keep ignoring me as I was dirt

Time will not come back to you
and time will not come back to me
I'm gonna die with a smile on my face
and I'm gonna die beside you

We won't get any younger
Track Name: I'm Alive
I'm Alive

Words: L.Lindquist
Music: L.Lindquist

16 years old I'm on my way to you
I bought the cigarettes you asked me to
And spring is in the air I'm running up the stairs
We got the house for ourselves for a week

We don't need anyone to cook our food
We don't need anyone to tell us the damage that smoking does
We don't need the fuzz just don't need the fuzz

Oh oh Oh oh, uh I'm alive
and no one's gonna hurt me now
Oh oh Oh oh, uh we're alive
and no one's gonna hurt us now

Let's have an outdoor event
help me carry out the speakers
and put your favourite record on
We're in a house in the woods with no neighbours at sight
tonight we're gonna touch the sky

We're gonna talk about the times that come
we'll be dancing in the moonlight
we'll forget about the bullies and the bad boys
and be billie no mates together tonight

Oh oh...

We've been bored behind bars, in a terrible shape
and doing time for way too long
Now they've opened the gates
I can't believe it's true
I'm gonna spend this weekend with you

I beg sweet relief to come close
I beg sweet relief to come closer
I watch sweet relief up close
I took her by the hand and she set me free

Oh oh...
Track Name: Oh Baby, Yeah Honey
Oh Baby Yeah Honey

Words: L.Lindquist
Music: L.Lindquist

I have had just about enough of people like you Mr Magnusson
Jealous and evil fucks just like you Mr I didn't make it
I'm gonna close your window I'm gonna cancel my subscription
I'm not gonna pay more attention to ya
For I'm in the mood for some bebopalula

Oh baby Yeah honey
Sugar it feels so good when you touch me
Oh baby Yeah honey
Sugar it feels so good when you touch me

Everyone's afraid of the financial situation
Everyone's so scared of the big bad economic wolf
I can't think of anything else than to lay in bed here naked with you
Let's make love until the crises is over

Oh baby Yeah honey...

Can't you see that I care for you
That I truly love the way you misbehave
Can't you see that I adore you from the bottom of my blood pumping heart
Isn't it obvious cause I blush when you say
“Brush your teeth and come this way
and kiss me where I've never been kissed before”
So come on

Oh baby Yeah honey...

There are evil people just 'round the corner
They're not from Afghanistan
I'm in the mood for some bebopalula
I'm in the mood for some bebop too

Oh baby Yeah honey...

Let's forget about the dirty world
Track Name: Golden Frame
Golden Frame

Words: L.Lindquist
Music: L.Lindquist

So I tell her, she's got your picture
in a golden frame above her bed
She looks down and she smiles
and she blushes and she says
What made me end up here in a golden frame

Golden frame Golden frame
What made me end up here in a golden frame
Golden frame Golden frame
What made me end up here in a golden frame

A young girl, her name is Joan,
she walks up to me and says
I'm sorry but there is something I gotta say
You've been beside me all the time when everything was tough
I shiver and a shake when I say thanks a lot

Thanks a lot Thanks a lot
I shiver and I shake when I say thanks a lot
Thanks a lot Thanks a lot
I shiver and I shake when I say thanks a lot

All the emails that I've got
All the letters that's been sent
With my name on it, directed direct to me
If I gave you one you gave me two
Listen carefully this is true
Without you I wouldn't be around

Without you Without you
Without you I wouldn't be around
Without you Without you
Without you I wouldn't be around
Track Name: Wake Up My Love
Wake Up My Love

Words: L.Lindquist
Music: L.Lindquist

I'm breathing in try to exhale
I'm trying hard to figure out what's going on
I watch the news and I shake my head
Lily says “It's insane, have you heard about the hurricane”

Been going down some rocky roads before
but I never thought we'd experience a world war
Watch your back Lily they're close behind
Armed troops with machine guns and hand grenades

So wake up my love
Wake wake up my love
Wake up my love
Wake wake up my love
So wake up my love
It's just a bad dream

The doctor said to me “You've got the HIV
Your sons and your daughters got the virus too”
The pope is after us wants to stab his cane trough me
“You've got it coming this is justice the way it should be”

Jesus Christ Lily I'm still shivering
I dreamed about the hard rain he's talked about
It's just a dream to me but I think eventually
If we don't do something now it will come true

So wake up my love...

So wake up my love It's just a bad dream
Wake up my love It's just a bad dream
No wake up my love It ain't a bad dream
Track Name: You Taught Me
You Taught Me

Words: L.Lindquist
Music: L.Lindquist

But most of all I wanna say to you
after all the struggle we've been through
You taught me how to love again Lily
You taught me how to love again Lily

I watched a young man die today
I took a short cut through the People's Park
I saw his friends they were knocking on the toilet door
The broke the lock and they dragged him out
and they slapped him in the face
After a while I heard them whisper
“beyond rescue”

The peace and quiet the now he's gone
The silent moment
It could have been you
It could have been me
It could have been anyone

If I was going down today
If I was going six feet under
There are some things I'd like to say to you
Before I do

I would like to wear my purple skirt
I would like to lay beside my grandpa
If I was going down today
But most of all I wanna say to you
after all the struggle we've been through
You taught me how to love again Lily
And I hope that I taught you how to love again Lily
Track Name: When Love is not Enough
When Love Is Not Enough

Words: L.Lindquist
Music: L.Lindquist/G.Kronkvist

She said now I can interpret the smile on his face
He was relieved because now the decision was made
Things went awry and I can't understand why
I'm so confused and I'm utterly sad
My stamina is weakened and my voice is trembling
How could I possibly get strong through this?
It took some days to understand you were gone

When love is not enough
(You grow tired of weeping)
When love is not enough
(It's a-pounding on your brain)
When love is not enough
(It's keeping you from sleeping)
When love is not enough
(It's driving you insane)

I saw your face through the wine coloured light last night
There was nothing I could say and there was nothing I could do
The earth was shaking under my feet and the ice was melting under my shoes
So tell me what good could come out of this
How could I possibly mitigate the pain
It took some weeks to understand you were gone

When love is not enough...

Susan says "even though it's sad It was meant to happen there's a purpose behind"
My eyes turned black I hit the fist through my window
I said "leave me alone and don't you ever come back"
You're not entitled to make a sound
Don't intervene don't try to do good
I still don't understand you are gone

Let us mourn this loss alone
(We don't want no intervention)
Let us mourn this loss alone
(This is not about you)
Let us mourn this loss alone
(We've had enough of your pretension)
Let us mourn this loss alone
(This is not about you)

When love is not enough...
Track Name: You'd Better Watch Out
You'd Better Watch Out

Words: L.Lindquist
Music: L.Lindquist

You better watch out cause I like you
Good things makes me vanish and go
If I find the common cure for this
I will also find that I am immune
You better watch out cause I like you

I drew a sketch on your shoulder
I tattooed you on your birthday
You couldn't see what it said
cause the blood and the bandage covered your arm
You better watch out cause I like you

I watched you sleeping sound this morning
You might catch a glimpse of me this night
Disappeared with the decease I have
I'm not feeling well so please don't pick up a fight
I should have watched out cause I like you

I will never learn from this
and you'll regret all the hugs and kisses
I will never learn from this
and you'll regret all the hugs and kisses
I will never learn from this

The tattoo that I left on you said best before right now
You should punch me in the stomach
and then you should hit me in the face
But you couldn't watch out cause I like you

I will never learn from this...
Track Name: How Things Turned Out to be
How Things Turned Out To Be

Words: L.Lindquist
Music: L.Lindquist

Lily says she's in love with me today
I say “you stabbed my heart in a positive way
I don't know which way to look”
She says “I like the stupid and funny smile on your face”
I say “I smile because I'm here with you
I smile because you smile too”
and she says “Tell me about your journey from burning hell
to smile and laughter”

Could have been working with computers
Could have been where IT's at
Could have been struggling with costumers
and sent an invoice on ten thousand dollars or more
I've could have gone to school that day
when I decided not to go to school no more
Could have been able to pay my bills
but this was so much worth to me

To tell some jokes, to sing some songs
To deliver the poems about Pablo and Lily
To deliver the lines that you can relate to
To close my eyes and disappear

So raise your hand if you agree with me
when I'm saying I'm so happy how things turned out to be
So raise your voice and sing along with me
when I'm singing I'm so happy how things turned out to be
How things turned out to be

Some people say I'm pretentious
Some people say I'm the cure for their fever
Some people say that I can't speak English
The Americans say “Come to the States!”
“Come to the States and sing for us
Let your American buddies deicide where you should go
Come to the States and tell us your stories
Leave the Swedish journalists behind”

So raise your hand...

And leave them howling at the moon
Ooah oh oh oh
Track Name: Anywhere But There
Anywhere But There

Words: L.Lindquist
Music: L.Lindquist

And the drummer hits the beat
and the guitar sings the chords
The singer starts to sing
and I move a little bit closer
I made a promise to myself
never to go near you again
I said I will go anywhere but there

It’s now or never I cannot choose not to
May I dance with you
may I hold you close
may I touch your breast
and make love to you
May I make a terrible mistake with you
may I make a wonderful mistake with you
I said I will go anywhere but there

Oh, I recognize the smell
and I recognize this voice
and I recognize this breath
but I don’t recognize this choice
Made a promise to myself
never to go near you again
I said I will go anywhere but there

It’s now or never I cannot choose not to
May I dance with you
may I hold you close
may I touch your breast
and make love to you
May I make a terrible mistake with you
may I make a wonderful mistake with you
I said I will go anywhere but there
Track Name: I've Been Used Again
I've Been Used Again

Words: L.Lindquist
Music: L.Lindquist

You gave me nothing but a bleeding nose
cut the connection to my sanity
I blame myself for losing grip on this
I blame myself for your toxic kisses

I’ve been used again
Your pooh-poohish position regarding me
my fucked up love for you
I erase you raised your hand on me
I guess I repress the mess you cause me

I’ve been used again
I postpone my emancipation
I close my eyes for my bruises and the scars
and what about the money you owe me
and what about the promises you gave

I’ve been used again
You’re the tremendous mistake in front of me
why is my sight so foggy
What the motherfuck is wrong with me
what the motherfuck is wrong with you

I’ve been used again
Track Name: Secret Love
Secret Love

Words: L.Lindquist
Music: L.Lindquist

Would you mind if I take of my glasses
and turn blind for the rest of the night
Would you put them back on in the morning
if you're still here

I won't mind if you take of your glasses
I'll put them back on when you're awake
It's ironic that you can not use
the most beautiful eyes that I've seen

There's something about you that I love
Might be your fingers, your teeth, I don't know
or the jokes that you tell after midnight
when we're the only ones awake

And we laughed and we laughed and we laughed again
and we cried and we cried and we cried
cause the secret love that we had
was tearing us apart

And my paintings were always important
your were the very first one to see
I counted sheep for a week cause I couldn't sleep
Your reaction was a crossroad to me

We fell asleep just an hour before daylight
we woke up by a cat in our bed
It jumped in from our open window
it scared the youth out of you and me

And we laughed...
