1.A Lung
Lyricist:Karin Dreijer Andersson, Olof Bjorn Dreijer
I'm a crusader
I'm the darkest lady
I'm the taste on your tongue
I'm Darth Vader
I know what I'm made of
â~Cause I was warmed by the sun
The sun
You're looking for me
But it's not what you seek
I've got a twisted personality
You're a crusader
You're the darkest lady
I like the taste of your tongue
You are Darth Vader
I know what you're made of
And you were warmed by the sun
By the sun, by the sun, the sun
And I'm looking for you
And I'm glad I found me
A special kind of personality
When the spark goes out of you
I am your lung
I'm Darth Vader
I know what I'm made of
â~Cause I was warmed by the sun
By the sun, the sun, the sun
I was looking for you
I'm not glad I found me
A special kind of personality
Yes, you are the crusader
You are the lady
I want to chase your tongue
You are Darth Vader
I know what you're made of
You are like a lung
A lung, a lung, a lung
(And you were warmed by the sun)
You're looking for me
(By the sun)
But it's not what you seek
(By the sun)
I've got a twisted personality
By the sun
You're looking for me
But it's not what you seek
I've got a twisted personality
(A special kind of personality)
2.Parade
Lyricist:Karin Dreijer Andersson, Olof Bjorn Dreijer
In the middle of nowhere when we're looking for something
Then we raise our heads for the color red
I am too a spirit and a wonderer
And I welcomed the dew as much as you did
When we're looking for brushwood
In the nearest neighbourhood
Then we follow the sky with the eye
We search vegetation and surprised by the rain
We're stumbling, tripping home again
In the middle of nowhere when we're looking for something
Then we raise our heads for the color red
I am too a spirit and a walker
And I welcomed the dew as much as you did
We found the little man and his aeroplane
But we never located the animal
Examined the dirty ground
Like it never been done modern exploring of 1991
3.Bird
Lyricist:Karin Dreijer Andersson, Olof Bjorn Dreijer
If I was a bird
I would fly high over the world
Come home at night to your garden
Build a nest among the branches
And I'll comb your hair with my beak
If I was a bird
I would count my time in pearls
Under my wings you'll find shelter
You'll breed bugs and keep me well fed
And I proclaim the reason why I'll have to fly
But you wanted me to be a girl
Without feathers without urge
Then my wings quick disappeared
And left was only fear
And I proclaim the reason why I'll have to fly
Proclaim the reason why I'll have to fly
I'll have to fly
4.Silent Shout
Lyricist:Karin Dreijer Andersson, Olof Bjorn Dreijer
I never knew this could happen to me
I know now fragility
I know there's people who I haven't told
I know of people who are getting old
Wish I could speak in just one sweep
What you are and what you mean to me
Instead I mumble randomly
You stand by and enlighten me
In a dream I lost my teeth again
Calling me woman and a half man
Yes, in a dream all my teeth fell out
A cracked smile and a silent shout
A cracked smile and a silent shout
If I explain it once thoroughly
He'll have you later 'cause it's never free
You were at the gigantic spree
I caught a glimpse, now it haunts me
I caught a glimpse, now it haunts me
5.Neverland
Lyricist:Karin Dreijer Andersson, Olof Bjorn Dreijer
Eyes are sober, this is the plan
I'm sitting in a car heading Neverland
A fancy man, a fancy man
He's pointing with the fingers that are left on his hand
Eyes are hazel but far too colder
Looking out for lover but none of us can
Where's the monkey that I've been told of?
I'm staring at the money that burns in my hand
I'm dancing for dollars and for a fancy man
Come right over, I'll knock on your shoulder
This is a story and this is what I've planned
An angry man, an angry man
Nothing is more fatal than an angry man
Vulnerable heights feed the hand that bites me
Following the steam into another room
Standing in the corner, is this my home?
Showing us love that none of us can
I'm singing for money that burns in my hand
Tell me will I make it home tonight?
I'm doing it for dollars and for a fancy man
I've got a lot of money that burns in my hand
6.The Captain
Lyricist:Karin Dreijer Andersson, Olof Bjorn Dreijer
Coming home after a long, long walk
Coming home after a dozen of walks
Coming home after a long, long war
Coming home after a dozen of wars
We are out of wind
We have pock-marked chin
We have lots of water
We turn the other cheek and we win
One thousand stories and soon there's more
We've been offered one more lap to go
In my hand I hold a key
It's dear to me 'cause I know where it leads
We are out of wind
We have pock-marked chin
We have all this water
We turn the other cheek with a grin
7.Na Na Na
Lyricist:Karin Dreijer Andersson, Olof Bjorn Dreijer
I've got soul in my bones
Got a home, a dog and a man to call my own
Every month I've got my period
To take care of and to collect in blue tampons
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
I've got mace, pepper spray
And some shoes that runs faster than a rapist rapes
What I need is chemical castrations
Hope and Godspeed
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Hope, Godspeed
8.Marble House
Lyricist:Karin Dreijer Andersson, Olof Bjorn Dreijer, Jaje Folke A
Johansson
I cut your nails and comb your hair
I carry you down the stairs
I wanted to see right through from the other side
I wanted to walk a trail with no end in sight
The moment we believe that we have never met
Another kind of love, it's easy to forget
When we are all alone then we do both agree
We have a thing in common, this was meant to be
You close my eyes and soothe my ears
You heal my wounds and dry my tears
On the inside of this marble house I grow
And the seeds I sow will grow up prisoners too
The moment we believe that we have never met
Another kind of love, it's easy to forget
When we are all alone then we do both agree
We have a thing in common, this was meant to be
Now where's your shoulder? What is its name?
What's your scent? Say it again
If it goes faster can you still follow me?
It must be safe when it's on TV
I raise my hands to heaven of curiosity
I don't know what to ask for, what has it got for me?
The others say we're hiding, it's forward as can be
Some things I do for money, some things I do for free
9.Like A Pen
Lyricist:Karin Dreijer Andersson, Olof Bjorn Dreijer
Sharpen my body like a pen
Come on, I need to show it
Something too small for a lens
If I rub it, if I wipe it
Guiding with one single hand
Nothing's wrong, you like the feeling
I am all over the land
Come on, I need to show it
Back on the mountain again
I was standing watching seasons
You're now my only friend
I'm too heavy, I'm the burden
Sitting and picking on myself
It's a shiny, shiny morning
And when the light finds my eye
I'll be fleeting like a scent
I hold my breath and then count to three
On and on, outworn
It must be five hundred degrees
I hold my breath and then count to three
On and on, outworn
It must be five hundred degrees
Will it show in my show?
10.From Off To On
Lyricist:Karin Dreijer Andersson, Olof Bjorn Dreijer
We cannot wait much longer, we want happiness back
We want control of our bodies, everything we've lacked
I think I even liked it, if the feeling was mine
A little something about my body, is it the warmth inside?
Now when we come home we want it quiet and calm
We want you to sing us a song
Now when we come home we pull the curtains down
Making sure that the TV is on
If you move a little closer I'll tell you what's my aim
It's every evening on a big screen hosted by celebrities
I had a dream about deleting and killer whales
Is it the feeling of your body? Is it the feeling of mine?
Now when we come home we want it quiet and calm
We want you to be around
And when we come home we pull the curtains down
Making sure that the TV is on
From off to on, from off to on
From off to on, from off to on
From off to on, from off to on
From off to on, from off to on
11.Forest Families
Lyricist:Karin Dreijer Andersson, Olof Bjorn Dreijer
Too far away from the city
Some kids left on the road
They said, 'We had a communist in the family'
I had to wear a mask
Too far away from the city
We had to make us a room
Fathers were football players, formal workers, policemen
What the mothers did I didn't know
Music tonight
I just want your music tonight
I saw her body organ
She was laughing while pressing the keys
She said, 'My favorite book was dirty and
You should not show you can read'
Too far away from the city
We never heard its noise
We learned how to stay fit and things like
Green tones hide the blush
Music tonight
I just want your music tonight
Music tonight
I just want your music tonight
Too far away from the city
We came to breathe clean air
Nature left a safe oasis
And the mothers walked towards the forest
Music tonight
I just want your music tonight
Music tonight
I just want your music tonight
12.One Hit
Lyricist:Karin Dreijer Andersson, Olof Bjorn Dreijer
I've got a new story now, it goes like this
I took my hand out of my pocket, up came a fist
It was headline news, one more abuse
I've got to tell it with a fist, it goes like this
Ho, ho, ho, ho
(Ho, ho, ho, ho)
Huh, huh, huh, huh
(Huh, huh, huh, huh)
Ho, ho, ho, ho
(Ho, ho, ho, ho)
Huh, huh, huh, huh
(Huh, huh, huh, huh)
So where's the femininity, the one with skirts and high heels
A shiny sink and home made meals
One and only way, if you enter you'll stay
Sons and daughters you will breed as long as you breastfeed
Being a man is a bliss, one hit, one kiss
Ho, ho, ho, ho
(Ho, ho, ho, ho)
Huh, huh, huh, huh
(Huh, huh, huh, huh)
Ho, ho, ho, ho
(Ho, ho, ho, ho)
Huh, huh, huh, huh
(Huh, huh, huh, huh)
Then the lights came on, it was all a scene
Bend back, give head, it's not pornography
If you do it with lights then it's art you see
If you do it with a twist, yes, artistically
Ho, ho, ho, ho
(Ho, ho, ho, ho)
Huh, huh, huh, huh
(Huh, huh, huh, huh)
Ho, ho, ho, ho
(Ho, ho, ho, ho)
Huh, huh, huh, huh
(Huh, huh, huh, huh)
I could do the laundry, the women's work
For a reasonable salary I would wash the world
It wouldn't affect my libido or my self-esteem
Don't need to mark my territory, it's all obvious to me
It's manhood's bliss, one hit, one kiss
Spending time with my family like the Corleones
Ho, ho, ho, ho
(Ho, ho, ho, ho)
Huh, huh, huh, huh
(Huh, huh, huh, huh)
Ho, ho, ho, ho
(Ho, ho, ho, ho)
Huh, huh, huh, huh
(Huh, huh, huh, huh)
Spending time with my family like the Corleones
13.Still Light
Lyricist:Karin Dreijer Andersson, Olof Bjorn Dreijer
The doctor came in the morning
She held my hand
And asked, 'Was it worth it?
Could it be worse than this?'
Please recall, give me a hint
Anything will do
If this was the last time
Now you should tell us what to do
I was afraid I guess
Now I can't think no more
I was so concentrated
On keeping things together
I've learned to focus on
I didn't want to disappoint
Now where is everybody?
Is it still light outside?
14.We Share Our Mothers' Health (Single)
Lyricist:Karin Dreijer Andersson, Olof Bjorn Dreijer
We came down from the north
Blue hands and a torch
Red wine and food for free
A possibility
We share our mothers' health
It is what we've been dealt
What's in it for me?
Fine, then I'll agree
Trees there will be
Apples, fruits maybe
You know what I fear
End is always near
Trees there will be
Apples, fruits maybe
You know what I fear
End is always near
Say you like it, say you need it
When you don't
Looking better, shining brighter
Than you do
Say you like it, say you need it
When you don't
Looking better, shining brighter
Than you do
Say you like it, say you need it
When you don't
Looking better, shining brighter
Than you do
Say you like it, say you need it
When you don't
Looking better, shining brighter
Than you do
Say you like it, say you need it
When you don't
Looking better, shining brighter
Than you do
15.Reindeer
Lyricist:Karin Dreijer Andersson, Olof Bjorn Dreijer
Reindeer, reindeer, reindeer
I caught one of your horns
And even if it rains here
It's much worse in the north
Reindeer, reindeer, reindeer
I caught one of your horns
And even if it rains here
It's much worse in the north
And you move like shadows
In the dark
And you glitter and you glimmer
And you bark
Moon's light the feathers
The sleigh this year is heavier
I thought we'd reached Warzava
But we are stuck in Vasa
And Santa here is faster
This house must be the last now
And we follow mister Santa
To the end
Reindeer, reindeer, reindeer
Your formate friend
Humble heavy loaded
And soon it's time again
And you move like shadows
In the dark
And you glitter and you glimmer
And you bark
Moon's light the feathers
The sleigh this year is heavier
I thought we'd reached Warzava
But we are stuck in Vasa
And Santa here is faster
This house must be the last now
And we follow mister Santa
To the end
Moon's light the feathers
The sleigh this year is heavier
I thought we'd reached Warzava
But we are stuck in Vasa
And Santa here is faster
This house must be the last now
And we follow mister Santa
To the end
And we follow mister Santa
To the end
And we follow mister Santa
To the end
And we follow mister Santa
To the end
And we follow mister Santa
To the end
Moon's light the feathers
The sleigh this year is heavier
I thought we'd reached Warzava
But we are stuck in Vasa
And Santa here is faster
This house must be the last now
And we follow mister Santa
To the end
16.Listen Now
Lyricist:Karin Dreijer Andersson, Olof Bjorn Dreijer
Listen now, I am afraid of everything
When you told me I was special
It was the happiest moment for a long, long time
Listen now, I keep forgetting your name
When you laid down on the kitchen floor
It was the happiest moment for a long, long time
We seek new seed new
Some revolutionary
And you will never get a hold
We seek and we will find
Reason to stay alive
The price has never been this low
Listen now, I was afraid of everything
Then I straightened my head up
It was the happiest moment for a long, long time
17.Girls' Night Out
Lyricist:Karin Dreijer Andersson, Olof Bjorn Dreijer
We were looking for a room
We were looking for a hotel
We were in between
We were a few chosen
Somewhere to fit in
Something that's fitting
After one day it started itching
And we rubbed until it was bleeding
And we laughed
At the moonlight far beyond
And we ran through
The moonlight far beyond
We were looking for something to blow up
We were looking for someone to follow
We were had one way out
We were some hours left
We were so close
We knew we were chosen
We aimed for high speed
And for someone who could catch me
18.Rock Classics
Lyricist:Karin Dreijer Andersson, Olof Bjorn Dreijer
I'm coming over but I won't be long
I'm coming over
I'm making a new song
I pick a car and it's a fifteen minutes drive
Rock Classics on the radio
To clear my mind
Sometimes in the weekends
We meet up at our favorite café
I'll order a chai tea
And you will have the usual au lait
And when the place gets crowded
Then they freak out
And they play the music louder
Here comes another day in isolation
Hold out your hand, feel my brain burns
You suck and lick but you still don't know why
I could fuck your brains out
But I'm not interested in that life
19.Hangin' Out
Lyricist:Karin Dreijer Andersson, Olof Bjorn Dreijer
I keep my dick hangin' out of my pants
So I can point out what I want
I was chosen by standard procedures
And I'll assure you I don't mind
I'm the head of a small business
Employing old male friends of my kind
They keep their dick hangin' out of their pants
So they can point out what they want
Nej, vi stoppar där
20.Is It Medicine
Lyricist:Karin Dreijer Andersson, Olof Bjorn Dreijer
No more tears and you'll be fine
I stay here all night
And when I've stayed all the night
We go out in the morning light
We go out in the morning light
And then you strive to live that day
Don't know how, don't know what to say
Is it medicine or social escape?
Don't have answer and nobody will
Do it screaming or without a word
Being sane is a full time work
Another day has come to an end
Then you start to cry again
21.One For You
Lyricist:Karin Dreijer Andersson, Olof Bjorn Dreijer
Rumors telling me you are mourning
And you haven't slept for several days
You've been turning inside out, looking for reasons
And your black sorry eyes made you pale
And you couldn't catch them
You couldn't be there
You couldn't help them at all
And it was cold
If we say there is something above the mountains
If we say that there is something we can't see
Promise you will never believe me
'Cause I guess I'm just trying to make it easy
Everybody was laughing when they found us
One for you and one for me
Then they let us go to hunt us down again
And still you refuse to see
Why everything has to stay ugly
22.You Make Me Like Charity
Lyricist:Karin Dreijer Andersson, Olof Bjorn Dreijer
You try to feel it but you can't wake up
You try to touch it but you can't wake up
You're holding ice and you don't wake up
Increase the size and you don't wake up
I do it backwards but I don't wake up
Try to reverse but I don't wake up
I sit astride but I still don't wake up
More than a second
When reading the newspaper
I felt the war
I felt her exposed position
I saw myself in the picture and I
I took a cab there to hold her
I took a plane there to feel what she felt
You make me like charity
Instead of paying enough taxes
23.Pass This On
Lyricist:Karin Dreijer Andersson, Olof Bjorn Dreijer
I'm in love with your brother
What's his name?
I thought I'd come by to see him again
And when you two danced
Oh what a dance
And when you two laughed
Oh what a laugh
Has he mentioned my age, love
Or is he more into young girls
With dyed black hair?
I'm in love with your brother
I thought I'd come by
I'm in love with your brother
Yes, I am, but maybe I
Shouldn't ask for his name
And when you two danced
Oh what a dance
And when you two laughed
Oh what a laugh
Does he know what I do?
You pass this on, won't you
If I asked him once what would he say
Is he willing, can he play?
I wasn't really looking for some more than
Some company on the dance floor
Does he know what I do?
You pass this on, won't you
24.Handy-Man
Lyricist:Karin Dreijer Andersson, Olof Bjorn Dreijer
When I saw you
I thought that you were the one
Looking good, I assumed you were handy
You introduced yourself as handy
I thought you were the handy-man
I laid my love in your hands
Andy, my man
I thought you were the handy-man
Then something went wrong
And the feeling was so gone
Slipped the hammer on your thumb
And the saw got caught in your thong
I thought you were the handy-man
I laid my love in your hands
Andy, my man
I thought you were the handy-man
Then something went wrong
And the feeling was so gone
Slipped the hammer on your thumb
And the saw got caught in your thong
I thought you were the handy-man
I laid my love in your hands
Andy, my man
I thought you were the handy-man
I thought you were the handy-man
I laid my love in your hands
Andy, my man
I thought you were the handy-man
Handy-man
Handy-man
Handy-man
I thought you were the handy-man
Handy-man
Handy-man
Handy-man
I thought you were the handy-man
25.The Cop
Lyricist:Karin Dreijer Andersson, Olof Bjorn Dreijer
I am a cop, shut up
I piss in your mouth
I am a cop, shut up
I shoot you in the face motherfucker
I piss in your mouth
I am a cop, shut up
I shoot you right on the spot
You motherfucking shit
26.Heartbeats
Lyricist:Karin Dreijer Andersson, Olof Bjorn Dreijer
One night to be confused
One night to speed up truth
We had a promise made
Four hands and then away
Both under influence
We had divine scent
To know what to say
Mind is a razor blade
To call for hands of above to lean on
Wouldn't be good enough for me
One night of magic rush
The start a simple touch
One night to push and scream
And then relief
Ten days of perfect tunes
The colors red and blue
We had a promise made
We were in love
To call for hands of above to lean on
Wouldn't be good enough for me
And you
You knew the hand of a devil
And you
Kept us awake with wolves teeth
Sharing different heart beats in one night
To call for hands of above to lean on
Wouldn't be good enough for me
27.Neon
Lyricist:Karin Dreijer Andersson, Olof Bjorn Dreijer
Something's gotten all over my head
And it won't leave me alone
Yeah, and when you come on
Something's gotten all over my head
And it won't let me go
Yeah, and when you come on
Something's got a hole in my head
And I didn't know
Yeah, and when you come on
Something's got a hole in my head
And I didn't know
Yeah, and when you come on
(And you)
Come on
It brings a new type of grace
And it keep coming back for more
And it leaves me with a shimmering face
And it keep coming back for more
And it brings a new type of grace
And it keep coming back for more
And it leaves me with a shimmering face
And it keep coming back for more
Neon, when you come and go
Neon, when you come and go
Neon, when you come and go
Neon, when you come and go
Neon, when you come and go
Neon, when you come and go
(Neon)
And it brings a new type of grace
And it keep coming back for more
(Neon)
And it leaves me with a shimmering face
And it keep coming back for more
28.New Year's Eve
Lyricist:Karin Elisa Dreijer Andersson, Dreijer Olof Bjorn
All new evening
You woke up yesterday
Now I love you
All new evening
You woke up yesterday
Now I love you
We've been waiting so long
Then you woke up
Don't waste time now
There's so much to catch up
We've been waiting so long
Then you woke up
Don't waste time now
There's so much to catch up
All new evening
You woke up yesterday
Now I love you
All new evening
You woke up yesterday
Now I love you
We've been waiting so long
Then you woke up
Don't waste time now
There's so much to catch up
We've been waiting so long
Then you woke up
Don't waste time now
There's so much to catch up
Now I love you
All new evening
You woke up yesterday
Now I love you
29.Poetry By Night
Lyricist:Karin Elisa Dreijer Andersson, Dreijer Olof Bjorn
You know
But you don't do anything
You hear
But you won't listen
You're looking
But there's nothing there
You have
But you're not giving
Aah, aah
Aah, aah
Aah
30.I Just Had To Die
Somebody saw me
Watching schoolgirls on their knees
But I don't know why
I am the schoolgirl's dream
I am under eighteen
But I don't know why
I just had to die
Somebody saw me
Watching schoolgirls on their knees
But I don't know why
I am the schoolgirl's queen
I am under eighteen
And I can't tell you why
I had decided to die
I'm not afraid of the shire
I'm on fire
I'm not afraid of the shire
I'm on fire
Hey little girl, is your daddy home?
I'm not afraid of the shire
I'm on fire
31.I Take Time
I take time
I take time
I ride your bullet from the south
A different taste in my mouth
I ride your bullet from the south
A different taste in my mouth
I take time
I ride your bullet from the south
A different taste in my mouth
32.Kino
I heard a puff, I heard a blow
I felt the ground, I felt the snow
I thought of linen and of lace
I never really saw his face
I heard a grunt, I heard a moan
I felt the sun, I saw the moon
I saw the northern light above
And the eclipse of the sun
I am a breath, I am a wish
I am a rocket and a fish
I felt his measures and his weight
My own body as a scale
I heard a whisper in my ear
âYou are not here, you are not hereâ
I saw the northern light above
And the eclipse of the sun
My feet was hurt and heals were sore
And I wondered why it burned
And I wondered why it burned
Then I had to climb down
I went down to see the sun rise
And then I had to climb back up again
I had to be there to see the sun rise
All the air that you sent to guide me
Had a tone of the elephant gray
We were all there in the morning
We were there and we wanted to stay
So quite a lot of what people had heard was right
Some was wrong
33.Lasagna
Charlotta making lasagna
With me above the clouds
Charlotta making lasagna
With me above the clouds
But you could have waited
You could have locked yourself up
For ten years or so
And when you finally came out
There would still be no chances for you
Charlotta running around with Felicia
Charlotta running around with Felicia
But you could have waited
You could have locked yourself up
For ten years or so
And when you finally came out
There would still be no chances for you
I look for moves and I search for breaths
Soon it leaves me thinking about death
I look for moves and I search for breaths
Soon it leaves me thinking about death
Beautiful sky
My car and me leave town for a while
You are a yellow surprise
Noticing water is friendly sometimes
But you could have waited
You could have locked yourself up
For ten years or so
And when you finally came out
There would still be no chances for you
But you could have waited
(Waited)
But you could have waited
(Waited)
I look for moves and I search for breaths
Soon it leaves me thinking about death
I look for moves and I search for breaths
Soon it leaves me thinking about death
Waited
Waited
Waited
34.High School Poem
Who wants to be ordinary?
Who wants to be sweet?
Who wants to know mid-term
Which hasn't been dried for weeks?
Which hasn't been dried for weeks
35.N.Y. Hotel
This is our last goodbye
Now you should be holding me
Punk rock t-shirt, black cap and tattoo
The first things I noticed about you
Now you should be holding me
Now you should be holding me
36.Got 2 Let U
I got 2, got 2 let u down
But in an hour, I will change my mind
It is like magic to me
Making mistakes and be forgiven easily
I know she lets me down
But just for a short while
Then she changes her mind
She does it all the time
Making mistakes
And then I'll ease her mind
She does it all the time
But she's so pretty
And I don't mind
