KENT - HAGNESTA HILL (2000)
Thin december air is like the dry ice smoke
You will come to your senses or inhale and choke
My IQ allows me to brush you aside
You are zeros and ones, you're wrong when I'm right
Now the tyrant is dead and his lady is free
I am going ahead with the reinvention of me
Now the king lies here dead, now the king lies here dead
It's not as wet as the rain or as cold as the snow
It drives him hard to the sane and the simple soul
I take a charge at my chance, you know how it is
Let go of my hand, you know how it is
Now the tyrant is dead and his lady is free
I am going ahead with the reinvention of me
Now the king lies here dead, now the king lies here dead
And my IQ allows me to brush you aside
Now the tyrant is dead and his lady is free
I am going ahead with the reinvention of me
Now the tyrant is dead and his lady is free
I am going ahead with the reinvention of me
Now the king lies here dead, now the king lies here dead
Peel my skin off, baby peel
I need my TV nerves to feel
That I don't care
Shake, my legs won't stop to shake
I need a kicking cause I'm fake
And I don't care
She's speeding all the time
Exhausted, looking fine
Oh, baby, you're a crime
And I don't care, no I don't care
Peel my skin off so I feel
I have something you can't steal
Cause I don't care
She's speeding all the time
Exhausted, looking fine
Oh, baby, you're a crime
And I don't care, no I don't care
And I don't care, no I don't care
Everybody gets a second in the sun
I have a feeling mine has just begun
Music non stop when I close my eyes
Clarity born from such a compromise
And you're almost like me
So why don't you dance to the music
I hear inside my head
Why don't you dance to the music
It's the soundtrack for the end
I'm looking for a place to lie in wait
I quit my job to find a perfect fate
Music non stop when I close my eyes
I need some time alone and I found a carpark that is home
You're almost like me
So why don't you dance to the music
I hear inside my head
Why don't you dance to the music
It's the soundtrack for the end
Everybody gets a second in the sun
I have a feeling mine has just begun
Music non stop when I close my eyes
Clarity born from such a compromise
And you are almost like me
So why don't you dance to the music
I hear inside my head
Why don't you dance to the music
It's the soundtrack for the end
Why don't you dance to the music
I hear inside my head
Why don't you dance to the music
It's the soundtrack for the end
Summertime, I'm the silence as the wind blows
My land is your land we are free
Summertime, if you listen close you hear my teardrops fall
My dream is yours
I have time on my side
Making diamonds of coal
She put a hole, through my kevlar soul
And my heart slowly dies
It gets lonely and cold
She put a hole, through my kevlar soul
Summertime, I am violence as the rain falls
My land is my land only mine
Summertime, if I listen close I hear your teardrops fall
Your dream is mine
I have time on my side
Making diamonds of coal
She put a hole, through my kevlar soul
And my heart slowly dies
It gets lonely and cold
She put a hole, through my kevlar soul
I have time on my side
Making diamonds of coal
She put a hole, through my kevlar soul
My dream is your dream
And my heart slowly dies
It gets lonely and cold
She put a hole, through my kevlar soul
Your dream is my dream
I have time on my side
Making diamonds of coal
She put a hole, through my kevlar soul
My dream is your dream
And my heart slowly dies
It gets lonely and cold
She put a hole, through my kevlar soul
I've been waiting for my brilliance to shine through
Like waiting would do
I've been called a little coward more than once
It hurts when it's true
I've been following your footprints in the snow
Trying to return the excuses that I stole
I'm the first on and the last off the bus
Little ego be still
And I fight the cold wind back up the street
To Hagnesta Hill
And the darkness and the snow fall as one
And I lost my scarf
At a busstop of the outskirts of town
I gather all the courage and the hate
Little ego goes wild
And my voice broke down I finally reached that age
I was cruel as a child
If this feeling that remains is not mine
Then it's something new
Maybe my brilliance shining through
It's noisy, can't think, I can't speak
I'm tired of handshakes so please
Get rid of this crowd
I can't breathe here anymore
You just have to let me go
It's noisy, can't think, I can't speak
I'm tired of handshakes so please
Get rid of this crowd
I can't breathe here anymore
You just have to let me go
You just have to let me go
You just have to let me go
You just have to let me go
And I don't need your hurry
You just have to let me go
I saw a film
Future visions of now
They changed the end
Cause they always do somehow
Saw you tonight
For the first time in years
Crushed and thin
But your guardian angel's with you
Judging by the way you walk
And I have a feeling, it wasn't that easy
Keeping a pace like that
Forever you fool me
You are a heavenly junkie
We live in the dreams you had
I have a feeling, it wasn't that easy
To be who you were
I saw a film about the violence in men
I press rewind, take it frame by frame again
Saw you tonight, life still danced in your eyes
You're creased and lined, but your guardian angel's with you
Judging by the way you talk
And I have a feeling, it wasn't that easy
Keeping a pace like that
Forever you fool me
You are a heavenly junkie
We live in the dreams you had
And I have a feeling, it wasn't that easy
Keeping a pace like that
Forever you fool me
You are a heavenly junkie
We live in the dreams you had
And I have a feeling, it wasn't that easy
Keeping a pace like that
Forever you fool me
You are a heavenly junkie
We live in the dreams you had
And I have a feeling, it wasn't that easy
To be who you were
I feel like everybody said I would feel
It's over now, so kill the lights
I need what everybody said I would need
I'm tied uptight by your china voice
That always broke when I made you sad
Stay with me stay
Don't leave in this way
Stay with me stay
I'll do whatever you say
I do what everybody said I would do
It's over now, so kill the lights
I go where everybody said I would go
Like a weeping child, were you the only one
That made it feel right being me
Stay with me stay
Don't leave in this way
Stay with me stay
I'll do whatever you say
And like today awaits tomorrow
And like tomorrow needs today
I need your simple words to follow
I'll do whatever you say
Stay with me stay
Don't leave in this way
Stay with me stay
I'll do whatever you say
Stay with me stay
There was a time when I was lost in myself
You took my hand became my guide
There was a time you needed my help
I guess my ego made me blind
It's not the rain it's not the streetlights
That makes your skin so pale at night
It's your quiet heart and your silence
As your teardrops stain my sheets
Let's take a trip through the wires
Your dream is gone you are free
Stay free
There was a time I had your life in my hands
And you had life left in your eyes
There was a time I got your hiding inside
From something shining through the blinds
It's not the shadows by the red lights
That makes my skin crawl late at night
It's your quiet heart and your silence
As your teardrops stain my sheets
Let's take a trip through the wires
Your dream is gone you are free
It's not the rain it's not the streetlights
That makes your skin so pale at night
It's your quiet heart and your silence
As your teardrops stain my sheets
Let's take a trip through the wires
Your dream is gone you are free
It's your quiet heart and your silence
As your teardrops stain my sheets
Let's take a trip through the wires
Our love is dead, you are free
I got a message from the screen subliminal
Like a sign saying no-one cares no more
And all the networks and the TV stations
Feed me lies and simple explanations
But they can't fool me on the state of this nation love
You still need my hands to feel
You still need my heart to bleed
Cause your lips taste just like money
You start a fire and it smells like chemicals
As you get higher you will hit the all time low
And does the network and the TV stations
And the lies, the sex, the fake relations
Tell you something about the state of the nation love
You still need my hands to feel
You still need my heart to bleed
Cause your lips taste just like money
Just like money
Concrete high rise I need no pitty
On the sky train crossed this city
Jesus died and God's gone missing
Take your skin off it might fit me now
Love is dead and you're so pretty, baby
You still need my hands to feel
You still need my heart to bleed
Cause your lips taste just like money
You still need my lungs to breathe
You still need my eyes to see
Cause your lips taste just like money
Just like money
Just like money
Just like money
On the highway there's no traces left
Of accidents and incidents
The christmas snow has slipped his mind
As ever the forgetful kind
If I fall will you be there to catch me if I fall
When I fall will you be there to catch me when I fall
Down, down, down, down
The radio plays cover songs
New lyrics, sex and sing alongs
Suddenly I lost my friends
They don't call me and I don't call them
If I fall will you be there to catch me if I fall
When I fall will you be there to catch me when I fall
Down, down, down, down
Nothing matters if you stay here, hold me tight
All those memories will be lost in time
Nothing matters if you stay here hold me tight
All those memories will be lost in time
Like tears in the rain, like tears in the rain
Like tears in the rain, like tears in the rain
I need you, I need you now, I need you now
Like tears in the rain, like tears in the rain
I need you, I need you now, I need you now
I tried so hard to make you smile
For once I tried to be myself
I made you scared, I made you cry
So I never tried again
And you tried to tell me how you feel
I couldn't hear you say a thing
You tried to tell me how you feel
I wasn't listening, I wasn't listening
It took me 29 years to reach perfection
Now they fill us with fear
Computerized rejection
Your voice disappears
On a bad connection
It gets lonely out here
I need protection please
Are you protecting me
Now I found a way to make you smile
Pretending I am someone else
Cause I really missed your smile
More than I missed myself
You found a way to keep it inside
To a point where you can't feel a thing
And silence suits us fine
Cause we are not listening
No, we're not listening
It took me 29 years to reach perfection
Now they fill us with fear
Computerized rejection
Your voice disappears
On a bad connection
It gets lonely out here
Are you protecting me, are you protecting me
Are you protecting me, are you protecting me
Are you protecting me, are you protecting me
The wires dream about swallows in the spring
I dreamed about my childhood surrounded by dead things
Awakened by the humming that machines make when they sleep
At least I woke up smiling, so glad I had a dream
She is waving out of the window
Her smile is red as a wound
And my quiet heart goes to pieces
It's been a lonely year in this room
And I will not ignore you like before
My january promises are more
Than words softly spoken
I'm filming now
Obsessed with how I look
And everything I told you
Was stolen from a book
I read something about kisses in a sience magazine
Something they can't capture in the sweetest movie scenes
She is waving out of the window
Her smile is red as a wound
And my quiet heart goes to pieces
It's been a lonely year in this room
And I will not ignore you like before
My january promises are more
Than words softly spoken
There is something in her eyes
That's making me scared
It's clinging to my shirt now
Like static in her hair
And something here is wrong
I heard it when she spoke
Her dust flows through my veins
And I'm yesterday's joke
And it seems impossible to meet her simple needs
She breaths invincible and it's giving me the creeps
She is still the wild one here, the incendiary soul
She is in flame and I am cold
God, I'm getting old
She is talking through a yawn and the radio is on
I listen through the thin walls
And someone is whisteling along
There is something in the air
Squeezing out sparks
The striplight flickers and then dies
And leaves us in the dark
And it seems impossible to make the ending speak
She breaths invincible and it's giving me the creeps
She is still the wild one here, the incendiary soul
She is in flame and I am cold
God, I'm getting old
God, it's getting cold
And I tried to make you a believer
But you're not a receiver
