KNIFE

Na Na Na

I’ve got soul in my bonesGot a home, a dog and a man to call my ownEvery monthI’ve got my periodTo take care ofAnd to collect in blue tampons

Na na naNa na na

I’ve got mace, pepper-sprayAnd some shoes that runs faster than a rapist rapesWhat I need is chemical castrations, hope and godspeed

Na na naNa na na

What I need is chemical castrations, hope and godspeed...

Pass This On

I’m in love with your brotherWhat’s his name?I thought I’d come byTo see him againWhen you two dancedOh what a danceWhen you two laughedOh what a laughHas he mentioned my age love?Or is he more into young girls with dyed black hair?I’m in love with your brotherI thought I’d come by

I’m in love with your brotherYes I amBut maybe I shouldn’t ask for his nameAnd you dancedOh what a danceAnd you laughedOh what a laughDoes he know what I do?And you’ll pass this on, wont you?And if I ask him once what would he say?Is he willing?Can he play?

If I ask him once what would he say?Is he willing?Can he play?

Does he know what I do?And you’ll pass this on, wont you?And if I ask him once what would he say?Is he willing?Can he play?

Marble HouseI cut your nails and comb your hair

I carry you down the stairsI 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 metAnother kind of love it’s easy to forget

When we are all alone then we do both agreeWe have a thing in common this was meant to be

You close my eyes and soothe my earsYou heal my wounds and dry my tears

On the inside of this marble house I growAnd the seeds I sow will grow up prisoners too

The moment we believe that we have never metAnother kind of love it’s easy to forget

When we are all alone then we do both agreeWe have a thing in common this was meant to be

Now where’s your shoulderWhat is it’s nameWhat’s your scent

Say it againIf it goes faster can you still follow me

It must be safe when it’s on TV

I raise my hands to heaven of curiosityI don’t know what to ask for

What has it got for me?The others say we’re hiding

It’s as forward as can be

Heartbeats

One night to be confusedone night to speed up truthwe had a promise madefour hands and then awayboth under influencewe had divine scentto know what to saymind is a razor blade

To call for hands of above to lean onwouldn’t be good enough for me

One night of magic rushthe start: a simple touchone night to push and screamand then relieften days of perfect tunesthe colours red and bluewe had a promise madewe were in love

To call for hands of above to lean onwouldn’t be good enough for me

And youyou knew the hand of a deviland youkept us awake with wolves teethsharing different heart beats in one night

To call for hands of above to lean onwouldn’t be good enough for me

Silent Shout

I never knew this could happen to meI know now fragilityI know there’s people who I haven’t toldI know of people who are getting old

Wish I could speak in just one sweepWhat you are and what you mean to meInstead I mumble randomlyYou stand by and enlighten me

In a dream I lost my teeth againCalling me woman and half manYes in a dream all my teeth fell outA cracked smile and a silent shoutA cracked smile and a silent shout

If I explain it once thoroughlyHe’ll have you later ‘cause it’s never freeYou were at the gigantic spreeI caught a glimpse now it haunts meI caught a glimpse now it haunts me

Girls’ Night OutWe were looking for a roomWe were looking for a hotelWe were in betweenWe were a few chosenSomewhere to fit inSomthing that?s fit inAfter one day it started itchingAnd we rubbed until it was bleeding

And we ran through the moonlight far beyondAnd we laughed at the moonlight far beyond

We were looking for something to blow upWe were looking for someone to followWe had one way outWe had some hours leftWe were so closeWe knew we were chosenWe aimed for high speedAnd for someone who could catch me

And we laughed at the moonlight far beyondAnd we ran through the moonlight far beyond

We were looking for a roomWe were looking for something to blow upWe knew we were chosen

And we laughed at the moonlight far beyondAnd we ran through the moonlight far beyond

And we laughed at the moonlight far beyondAnd we ran through the moonlight far beyond

We Share Our Mothers’ Health

We came down from the northBlue hands and a torchRed wine and food for freeA possibilityWe share our mothers’ healthIt is what we’ve been dealtWhat’s in it for me?FineThen I’ll agree

Trees there will beApples, fruits maybeYou know what I fearThe end is always near

Say you like itSay you need itWhen you don’tLooking betterShining brighterThan you do

Is It Medicine

No more tears and you’ll be fineI stay here all nightAnd when I’ve stayed all nightWe go out in the morning light

And then you try to live the dayI don’t know how, but I know what to sayIs it medicine or social skillDon’t have the answer and nobody willYou go screaming on without a wordBeing sad is a fulltime workAnd now the day has come to an endAnd then you start to cry again

Is it medicine?Is it medicine, is it medicine or social skill?Is it medicine, is it medicine, is it medicine or social skill?

Hangin’ Out

I keep my dick hangin’ out of my pantsSo I can point out what I want.I was chosen by standard proceduresAnd I’ll assure you I don’t mind.

I’m the head over small buissnessEmploying old male friends of my kind.They kepp their dick hangin’ out of their pantsSo they can point out what they want.

I keep my dick hangin’ out of my...

Forest Families

Too far away from the citySome kids left on their ownThey said we have a communist in the familyI had to wear a mask

Too far away from the cityWe had to make us roomFathers were football players, Volvo workers, policemenWhat the mothers did I didn’t know

Music tonightI just want your music tonight

I saw her by the organShe was laughing while pressing the keysShe said my favourite book was dirty and“You should not show you can read.”

Too far away from the cityWe never heard its noiseWe learned how to stay fit and things likeGreen tones hide the blush

Too far away from the cityWe came to breathe clean airNature lovers’ safe oasisAnd the mothers walked towards the forest

Seven

I’ve got a friend who I’ve known since I was sevenWe use to talk on the phone, if we have time, if it’s the right time

Accompany me by the kitchen sinkWe talk about love, we talk about dishwasher tablets, illnessAnd we dream about heaven

I know it, I think I know it from a hymnThey’ve said so, it doesn’t need more explana-tionA box to open up with light and soundMaking you coldVery cold

I leave home at sevenUnder a heavy sky, I ride my bike up, I ride my bike down

November smoke and your toes go numbA new colour on the GlobeIt goes from white to red, a little voice in my head says oh, oh, oh

I know it, I think I know it from a hymnThey’ve said so, it doesn’t need more explana-tionA box to open up with light and soundAnd if you don’tYou’re on your own

What Else Is There

It was me on that roadBut you couldn’t see meToo many lights out, but no-where near here

It was me on that roadStill you couldn’t see meAnd then flashlights and explo-sions

Roads end getting nearerWe cover distance but not together

I am the storm, I am the wonderAnd the flashlights, nightmaresAnd sudden explosions

I don’t know what more to ask forI was given just one wish

It’s about you and the sunA morning runThe story of my makerWhat I have and what I ache for

I’ve got a golden earI cut and I spearAnd what else is there
