Election Day |
| [00:13.936] |
1. I wake up early on Election Day |
| [00:19.396] |
I've already voted so I'm timewise ok |
| [00:24.882] |
Today, Goteborg feels like my head |
| [00:28.826] |
Slow, gloomy and grey |
| [00:36.062] |
My train departs soon, we meet up at the station |
| [00:41.051] |
You just came in from Bergen, |
| [00:43.716] |
how are you Jens Lekman? |
| [00:47.060] |
I eye everyone, try to guess |
| [00:50.116] |
what they're voting for |
| [00:58.240] |
And this is what we speak of: |
| [01:00.173] |
that when you know someone likes you |
| [01:02.890] |
-as a friend or a lover or a |
| [01:05.711] |
listener - you still don't know |
| [01:08.480] |
WHY they like you, |
| [01:10.047] |
so you take a guess |
| [01:11.432] |
based on their appearance |
| [01:13.731] |
but people are always much more complicated |
| [01:18.877] |
than you think,than you think that they are |
| [01:24.597] |
2. A woman comes up, she says she's a clairvoyant |
| [01:29.770] |
She says thanks for this Friday, |
| [01:32.539] |
I went to your concert |
| [01:35.360] |
I like you, cause I can tell you were a warrior in a past life |
| [01:46.148] |
On the train I buy an apple |
| [01:48.682] |
It's so huge, it's astounding |
| [01:51.530] |
And I get so upset |
| [01:53.698] |
I'm by myself, can't show no one |
| [01:56.728] |
I fight an urge to show the girl sitting next to me |
| [02:01.848] |
But she looks like a model, |
| [02:04.748] |
probably doesn't want to see (it), |
| [02:07.517] |
it's amazingly large this apple, |
| [02:11.331] |
and I gram it |
| [02:12.820] |
But it gets very few likes |
| [02:18.671] |
3. And outside the window, |
| [02:21.388] |
the trees flaunt their shit |
| [02:24.000] |
And the fields, and the flowers, |
| [02:26.638] |
and the lakes that are glittering |
| [02:29.329] |
Behind me, two people in suits |
| [02:32.777] |
say climate change is fake news |
| [02:40.483] |
And I take my huge apple |
| [02:42.913] |
And I show it down their throats |
| [02:45.525] |
I say that's not a topic you can argue about |
| [02:50.828] |
It is what it is, it's not up for debate |
| [02:56.418] |
Do you really think I would be stuck on this train |
| [03:01.668] |
Twelve hours today |
| [03:03.262] |
if it was optional |
| [03:07.833] |
5. That last part was Ilie, I'm a pacifist |
| [03:12.901] |
But I enjoyed making that up I have to admit |
| [03:18.100] |
Lets not forgot I was a warrior in a past life. |
| [03:29.358] |
The results are like life on Election Day news |
| [03:34.713] |
No one really won, and all are confused |
| [03:39.990] |
It's quiet, but feels like a bomb |
| [03:44.117] |
with a really long fuse |
| [03:49.786] |
|
| [03:51.615] |
6. And I like you cause you |
| [03:53.417] |
talk about the same things that I do |
| [03:56.578] |
Telling stories and TV, and being on tour |
| [04:01.489] |
It makes me feel like I am an extrovert |
| [04:06.740] |
And that is nice for a change |
| [04:12.486] |
And I like me because I always crash |
| [04:17.580] |
I wallow and complain, and then I bounce back |
| [04:22.570] |
If a clairvoyant came up in a hundred years |
| [04:27.873] |
I think she would have said to me: |
| [04:33.437] |
In your past life, you were lame |
| [04:35.944] |
but at least you tried |
| [04:38.452] |
Now those fumes will choke you |
| [04:41.508] |
so get inside |
| [04:43.860] |
Now its time to sleep on Election Day |
