Morning Marmalade
03:24

|
Someone pulled me aside to say
Why did it take so many years
to become this happy?
Eat some scones with marmalade.
The pouring sound of coffee makes
My whole face light up. I feel great.
Have yourself a fresh croissant.
The morning show talks about
something distant I don’t have to worry about.
Then the tv makes a sound
Get detergent on my mind
I wonder how the fuck can commercials be so damn loud?
I go back my routine.
I have gotten good sleep
and there’s nothing that won’t make this day a dream.
The morning sun is in our room.
My kid doesn’t eat her food.
I better hurry up and drop her off at pre-school.
Or should I maybe think twice?
The two of us could go and do something nice.
The amusement park in town is still open for the season.

Sneakers In The Snow

Kids with their sneakers in the snow.
It been snowing to long.
They never seem to dress good enough.
Hot coffee from the gas station
they serve it from a paper cup
write these words down by the road side
Cold hands and poor wind screen wipers
curse as I try and change them
in the mean time you sleep inside.
What could go wrong? There’s no harm here
Even if you stay out late
I’d never worry about you getting home
Whisk some more cream, it’s christmas time.
Paralyzed by the hive.
I stutter what I think when I’m drunk and down.
My friend gave up speech this holiday.
Wish him all the best.
My friend is a mute these days.
I wanna stroll on a european quay
I wanna watch tide come in and call it a day
Snow flakes falling down the neck of my winter coat
Noise cancellation headphones worn by assholes
A worker in a truck honks, get the fuck outta here
Sweden is great, even though you’re ridiculed

Artificial Flavour

A gold face with a diamond shirt
On a billboard close to work
angst.
Spring time then came
It’s finally here
But the grass is still brown
And there is snow outside
My friends birthday coming up
I really want to stay outside all day
Never go to bed
Stores they are closed
Only the sun is your friend
Inside there are thieves
Waiting to steal your time
Two dogs on a leash
Made me think of you know who
A sloped back hound
On the streets makes me think
Of you.
To not go home
I made it here without someone
To not go home
I really want to stay outside all day
Never go to bed
Stores they are closed
Only the night is your friend
Inside there are drunks
Waiting to steal your time
Artificial tasting drinks
Made me think of you know who
A cold Smirnoff Ice
In a bar made me think
Of you.

Root For Me
05:35
|

|
Used up all my energy
This autumn took it’s toll on me
There’s nothing more to fight about and that’s good
There’s nothing more to cry about oh no.
Now that it’s over this weight on my shoulder feels so light.
Talk about traveling to some place foreign. A capital
Root for me
Brought some life back into this place
Didn’t see much of your face last year
But now that it’s over this weight on my shoulders feels so light
Talk about traveling to some place foreign. A capital.
Root for me
Can this spring bring something more than what you
expect from it? A new beginning.
From what I’ve heard the birds are coming back, they’ve
left Africa for our part of the world.

Potoooooooo

Move to the country side.
Never come back, stay out there and hide.
A farm in winter garb
Frosty walls make me feel fine. I’m chopping wood to kill time.
So proud of your witty pun.
A horse’s name that echoes through history books. Centuries of ponies.
Drunk at the town track
Loose all money then start a fight.
I watch a little bit from behind.
Tote tickets on the concrete floor
The winner’s displayed on the board.
A folded program in my backpocket.
Is all I leave with once again…
Run run just like the wind
Don’t let that shouting scare
No rest, just go go go
You’re so fast, Potoooooooo
