Father to Daughter

Drown your sorrow in a bucket of water
And fold your hands as hard as you can
The entire ocean rises and looks towards land
And towards you and your castle of sand
 
Father to daughter says, come to daddy, come
Sit down on my knee and tell me about
When I'm not here, are you lonely?
You inherited your mother's smile, fuck
One such smile is enough
 

On Your Shift

Look what the cat dragged in
Thinks he hit the bull's eye
Shot himself in the foot, can't walk without limping
Look what the cat dragged in
 
And it was a dirty campaign
You turned people against one another
Your chestnuts smell burnt
Look what the cat dragged in
 
It was on your shift, director, on your shift
 
You never used the stairs, you took the elevator
And used small print in the contract
And that was the straw
You should've never taken the elevator
 
It was on your shift, director, on your shift
 
The cat dragged you in
And disappeared like the wind
Now I'm putting you on display, so that everyone who looks
In through the window of my studio
Sees you, they see you
And some beautiful day, a man will walk by
And look in at you with a devilish smile
Me, that'll be me
 
He disappeared on your shift
 

Sonny

Help a blind man with a cane and hat now
Hold my hand tight. Let's go out tonight
Because we walked under open skies
And shared our old memories
Oh, Sonny! Hey, Sonny!
You have always been my own Sonny
 
Everything you did for me
Everything you know
Everything they heard about you, all that is true
You went the distance during so many rounds
Together, we went the distance many hundred times
Oh, Sonny! Hey, Sonny!
You have always been my own Sonny
 
The time when we did everything together is over
Soon it's my turn. My heart is weak
My father was always with your father
And our fathers' fathers were always together
Oh, Sonny! Hey, Sonny!
You have always been my own Sonny
 
Nobody can water my flowers from now on
My work is starting to fail. Others will need to start seeding
Yes, because before the night is over I'll lie down and sleep
Oh, Sonny! Hey, Sonny!
Before the night is over l'll sleep
And Sonny! Hey, Sonny!
You have always been my own Sonny
 

Señor Torpedo

I can say it again, but I've said it before
The family business is dying
Look at me who dares
to sit in the chair
 
And everyone knows Sonny's name
And everyone feels his loss
He's as Hallow as a Hallow can be
There is no new Sonny
 
And raise your hand if you know somebody,
Someone I can link arms with
Someone who's comfortable in the boss' chair
Someone who always has a hand on the gun
 
For him I had to sew seven stitches
For him I had to turn half blind
And you were always welcome
If I had to die for him, would have done so right away
 
Because he is my father
The Lord gives and the Lord takes
As long as you're loyal
You are welcome in our gardens
There's no way back
One wrong word, one skewed step - your days are numbered
 
123456789 10
 
Let me introduce Señor Torpedo
You get more from him than you ask for
He doesn't mince matters
God's gift to us is Señor Torpedo
 
And soon everybody will know his name
When he disappears, everyone will feel his loss
He'll be as Hallow as a Hallow can be
But he won't be a new Sonny
 

Gentleman

You never know who's hoodwinking you
Don't ever feel safe
When the moon is up high and watches while you're being pursued
The last gaze you see
The last voice that is laughing
He who walks in your shoes is your gentleman
 
And when you realize that you don't cast a shadow anymore
Then your time's out
It's too late to save lives
To save your life
 
You walk with hurried steps
But his are quicker than yours
Your life is lined in a ring of chalk
But you are alive
 
And you ran through the rain
And a gun fired
And you fell in a ring of chalk
And the bells are ringing
 
He's your gentleman
 

Medicine & Psychiatry

It's the morning of a brand new day
You with your questions and I with my answers
Give me medicine, give me psychiatry
I don't give you anything but my time
 
It's the morning of a brand new day
With my discomfort and your pleasure
You look at me and draw your conclusion
And in Dieter Meyer's name. . .
You draw your conclusion in Dieter Meyer's name
 
They undress me, they undress me, they undress me
They ask me questions and I give you answers
But I've been thinking, and I've been thinking and thinking
This is my day. Now I run
Because I want to get out, I want to get out, want to get out
They admitted me, but only because I was fooled
I will be bleeding here, bleeding until I die
Now I will run away during your shift, Mr. Director
 
It's the morning of a brand new day
Not one second longer. That's for sure
No way that I'll be lying here on the day that I die
Now I will run away during your shift, Mr. director
 

Stormy Waltz

Outside the wind is blowing cold on my cheek
I'm not letting him in
I yell at him - “go away now, you wind”
 
The old tree is waving like if it had been drinking brandy
Soon it'll be wood in my fireplace take out my saw and saw all I can
 
‘Cause no one dances waltz like old Egil Ei,
No one dances waltz like old Egil Ei
 
The moon is hanging low and he
mirrors himself in a glass of water
Do not discuss with him
He is so superficial it's a shame about him
 
I threaten him with a fist and with a
bunch of words I believe he doesn't know
That man is not genuine I wonder how he can float in that condition
 
I can note down another stormy evening
For the weather as well as for my part
Because the floor has become my partner
We dance a stormy waltz
and I am faithful to your neck
 
My house stands crooked
The horizon is not where it used to be
Exactly as I said,
It all is tilting a little to the left
I don't know where it's going
 
Don't call the ambulance
if I should fall down a few stairs
As soon as I get the chance
I'll take a grip and find back the balance
 
‘Cause no one dances waltz like old Egil Ei,
No one dances waltz like old Egil Ei
 
But first must I have a little one in my left foot
‘Else it'll only become a mess
And should you feel like raising a glass
then I will not oppose
 
And the wind still rages.
He's darned tonight
And the rain came down in stern torrents
And I sit here and try to forget
 
I can note down another stormy evening
For the weather as well as for my part
Because the floor has become my partner
We dance a stormy waltz
and I am faithful to your neck
 

Your Gate

Take this ring, put it on your finger
If you get to heaven you'll go right in
But one thing, just one little thing
You are not dead, you are still mine
 
Clap your hands, clap one final time
Stamp your pegleg upon a concrete flool
The bells are ringing, they're calling you in
Come to my side of your gate
 
Come to my side of your gate
 
Rise up and call yourself a man
Enough's enough, you tell lies, I tell the truth
If you have a final word before you leave
Then save them till you get down to you father
 
Clap your hands, clap one final time
Stamp your pegleg upon a concrete flool
The bells are ringing, they're calling you in
Come to my side of your gate
 
Clap your hands
And come to my side of your gate
 

Breeze

Breeze, breeze
Breathing down my neck
It gets cold under the coat
And the body cries out:
'Come breeze, breeze, set me free!'
Turn on the siren and give me lasting injuries
 
Breeze, gives me rosy cheeks, takes away bad memories.
Breeze, you've shut us in. You win, you win...
 
My name is Kristopher, ex-locomotive driver,
Son of a shipowner, I was his replacement.
I got taken care of by a nun in a monastery.
I went into service for my country and came home a casualty of war.
I got paralysed from the waist down,
and my name is no longer mentioned when folks pray.
For no one remembers old Kristopher,
He who saved five lives before he became casualty of war.
 
Breeze, gives me rosy cheeks, takes away bad memories.
Breeze, you've shut us in. You win, you win...
 

From Chauffer to Passenger

Chauffeur, chauffeur, is it true that I'm being accused of swindle and fraud
I have used my revolver in your father's cathedral
but I've never been disloyal
Chauffeur, chauffeur, for eleven years I've faithfully served the family
So take my word chauffeur, because just as certainly as Dominique is my name
everything I did, I did for him
 
I, Dominique, was the one who was responsible for Tony Fuciante,
your brother, my compadre
The cylinder turned and the pistol said 'click'
but in the end in roulette someone must lose
Chauffeur, chauffeur, I plead to be pardoned
although I'm aware of your father's regulations
Who acts against the family's good will gets degraded
from chauffeur to passenger

Eternally Tormented

If only I found a hole into heaven
I won't have to shovel coal into the great furnace
I've sewn a thousand stitches, I'm blind, the cough tears
My face is old and my joints are stiff
 
But it's better if we go together
If we simply take day by day
I only wanted to hold my father one last time
I fear my heart is too weak
 
I'm eternally tormented
I've got all that is mine in a chest
I'm full of adrenaline
I'm eternally tormented
God lets me be eternally tormented
 
Put yourself in my shoes
Maybe then you'll understand
That they'll never lett me in
Into your heaven
 
Six men and six hands hold up the coffin
No one knows who's next on the list
Soon it's my turn, the night is over
But no one can tell me of the time to come
 
But it's better if we go together
If we simply take day by day
I only wanted to hold my father one last time
I fear my heart is too weak
 
I'm eternally tormented
I've got all that is mine in a chest
I'm full of adrenaline
I'm eternally tormented
God lets me be eternally tormented
 
Put yourself in my shoes
Maybe then you'll understand
That they'll never lett me in
Into your heaven
 

Under The Moon

I've always walked to the side of
The path that most folks walk
I've lain on my back right under the moon
And though about things I don't understand
 
And I've had some moments all to myself
Where the world stood completely still
And I moved around, no one has seen me
Imagine if we could have been two
 
And are you out there
Under the same cold white moon now?
Do you lie wondering, just like I do,
Not because you want to, but because you must?
 
I've always been on my way home
And I've searched under each and every stone
I've been so uncertain where I should go
It would've been easier if the path was straight
 
But imagine if it was you
That stood behind the next turn
Signalling me in
Asking if I want to be yours
No, I would never let it pass me by
Only you know who I should be
 
And are you out there
Under the same cold white moon now?
Do you lie wondering, just like I do,
Not because you want to, but because you must?
Just like I do,
Not because you want to, but because you must?
 

Tokyo Ice for Clementine

I've got informasjon, I hope you're sitting down
Take a drag of my cigarette and breath in
I know you, you're not hard to ask
And you know me, with and without clothes
 
I solve my conflicts with my 'bang-bang'
All things that come between my wine and my song
Just like the Russians, I've always got something going
And my seniority supersedes yours
 
One little touch from my magic finger
You lie cold in you coffin when the bells ring
Angeles sing 'dim-di-dam, dim-di-di' behind a cloud
I hear voiced in my head say 'shoot! shoot! shoot!'
Two Tokyo Ice and one Bacardi Rum
You should never have come here and laid your hand on my Clementine
 
Touch from my magic finger
Lie in the coffin when the bells ring
Two Tokyo Ice and one Bacardi
You should never have laid your hand on my Clementine
 
Oh Meyer, pour a Toyko Ice for Clementine
 
Touch from my magic finger
Lie in the coffin when the bells ring
Two Tokyo Ice and one Bacardi
You should never have laid your hand on my Clementine
 

The Devil on Our Tails

I have never touched a Bible
That gate is probably shut when I die
I have many memories from when I was young
It's like I'm looking back through a veil
And you have always been my girl
We walked hand in hand with a big smile each
Everyone looked at us when we walked past
No one saw what we did at night
 
And now we run with the Devil on our tails
And we're about to die laughing
Though the park and over to a meadow
And the doves take off one by one
And everything they said was not allowed
We did it all while everyone lay asleep
We will never get our just deserts
For they will never catch up to us
 
There is a place only we two know of
Where we can be alone and hidden
And if it begins raining we've got plastic
It's almost like living in a consulate
 
It's difficult to separate right from wrong
I have made so many mistakes, I am told
And if I could live my live again
I would make the same mistakes over again, one by one
 
And now we run with the Devil on our tails
And we're about to die laughing
Though the park and over to a meadow
And the doves take off one by one
And everything they said was not allowed
We did it all while everyone lay asleep
We will never get our just deserts
For they will never catch up to us
 
Will never catch up to us
Will never catch up to us
Will never catch up to us
For they will never catch up to us
For they will never catch up to us
 
And now we run with the Devil on our tails
And we're about to die laughing
Though the park and over to a meadow
And the doves take off one by one
And everything they said was not allowed
We did it all while everyone lay asleep
We will never get our just deserts
For they will never catch up to us
 
Will never catch up to us
Will never catch up to us
Will never catch up to us
For they will never catch up to us
For they will never catch up to us
 

Withdrawals(syndrome)

Can you give me five kroner for the tram?
The tram is leaving and I need them now

If you had only given me a small fiver,
I would not have got withdrawls
 

Last Dance

You must turn on your charm
Jump down from the windowsill
And dance with me on your way
Hold on to my arm when a devil dances slowly
And blows dust of you and your skin and bones
 
Can I offer one last dance
Before your heart stop
With a butterfly in your stomach
Run to get air under the wings of the kite
Kiss a prince and dance
Lie in his arms
Let yourself be seduced by a trickster
I have plucked a six-leaf clover
I am one, the others are five
 
You must on the charm
Jump down from the windowsill
And dance with me on your way
Hold on to my arm when a devil dances slowly
And blows dust of you and your skin and leg
 
Can I put my flower wreath on you
That I picked when I walked along the garden
And with you in mine thoughts, presents are waiting
With braids like the girls in Paris
And lovers on the benches in Paradise
The end isn't so far away
Everyone walks behind me in a long row
And I'm in the front, I'm in front of anyone
 
You must turn on the charm
Jump down from the windowsill
And dance with me on your way
Hold your arm tight when a devil dances slowly
And blows dust of you and you must turn on the carm
Jump down from the windowsill
And dance with me on your way
Hold on to my arm when a devil dances slowly
And blows dust of you and your skin and bones
 
With braids like the girls in Paris
And lovers on the benches in Paradise
And everyone who went in got an ice(cream)
With braids like the girls in Paris
And lovers on the benches in Paradise
 

A thousand drops of rain

I see that tonight
The moon hangs low
And I know he must have seen it
What I saw
I ran on the rails
And jumped aboard a train
And its only me and the memories
From a painful year
 
And not everyone wants to be a diamond
Having eternal life and be bride for a pauper
No, you should rather drool
After me as your necklace
 
We hurtle away on the ground
I can feel your breath in my neck
Its almost like a death scream when the brakes gets on
And we are crushing a thousand drops of rain
 
And I see that tonight
The moon hangs low
And I know he must have seen it
What I saw
I dont need an explanation
To understand
Your business with your brother
He came out of nowhere
 
And not everyone can disappear in a wind
Say goodbye and pretend like nothing
It looks as if you are waving
But I look at you while you drown
 
And we are shooting out of tunnels
And children's laughter have never been so beautiful
Its almost like a death scream when the brakes gets on
And we are crushing a thousand drops of rain
 

The Police

It was late
and I was on my way
from Germany to Poland
they want everything Ive heard
and everything I had seen,
die polizei, die polizei, die polizei,
they want everything Ive heard, die polizei.
 
And it was known
that I carried a document
of such character
which made them take me in
and question me out,
die polizei, die polizei, die polizei.
They took me in and questioned me out, die polizei.
 
We know who you are.
We know eveything about you,
and we know where you live,
and we know where you live.
 
Mr polizei, Mr polizei.
You never find me again
because I have gotten of the trail, mr polizei.
You never see me again.
 
And I ran.
God know where I ran,
but I could not see a thing.
For all I knew, I ran in circles.
But they werent able to follow,
die polizei, die polizei, die polizei.
They werent able to follow, die polizei
 
We know who you are.
We know everything about you,
and we know where you live,
and we know where you live.
 
Mr polizei, Mr polizei.
You never find me again
because I have gotten of the trail,
mr polizei..
