The Cardigans Album

You're losing a friend
You got it all wrong
I'ts not about revenge
But you're losing a friend
I didn't see it coming
With my head stuck in the sand
But now I'm loosing a friend
And it's keeping me up
It's the ribbons I tied
I would rather just die
Go to hell and crawl back
Than let you go
You're losing a friend
You jeopardise me
Bad bad blood on your hands
And see, you're losing a friend
I'm fickle and I'm vain
And you trick me over and over again
And now I'm losing you
And it's killing me
It's the strings that I tie
I would rather just die
Go to hell and crawl back
Then let it all go
My mistake
To lose you
Oh no, oh no!
So this the end now
I'm losing you
Oh, look at you!
Look what you're wasting
You're losing a friend
Oh no, oh no!
I'm losing a friend

I heard about a great big swindle
I read about it in a book
The book flew out the window
Was later found by geeks and crooks
Now they're singing hallelujah
I wondering just what did they find
They said eh whats it to yah
Just take a place in line
And wait, so I wait
I wait, and wait and I...
I'm one of a few survivors
And a drawer labeled lost and found
Though troubled and some deep sea divers
Whose oxygens are pouring out
Now maybe if their gods be willin
They'll give us something to fill our empty cups
Sit down in the boat dont spill it
Or we'll just have to line back up
And wait, so we wait
We wait and wait yes we wait
And we wait
We can wait
We will wait till we...
Guitar solo roar
You can hear it in the beat they march to
You can feel the earth shake when they start to dance
You can tell by the way they move you
It's not murder its an act of faith baby
And as the world moves faster
Whip lashing us around and round
It's quite a slow disaster
And people keep on falling down
Yes we wait, we wait
And we wait
We wait
And we wait

I'm gonna watch you
while you get me wrong
I'm gonna sing
to you hate this song

I'm gonna tell you
In my sweetest voice
I'm gonna choose you
'cause you have no choice

It's funny thing we got
It's never gonna stop. Oh no!

I'm gonna take you
to the wilderness
I'm gonna show you
things you might have missed
I'm gonna kiss the parts
that you have lost
Is not a course
You're burning my hair legs (no estoy seguro de esta ultima parte)

It's funny thing we got
It's never gonna stop
until we drip drop tear drop

I'm gonna work
til we get it on
I'm gonna love you
till we get alone
and when the rivers in your eyes are sored
I'm gonna love you just a little bit more

It's funny thing we got
It's never gonna stop

Overload
Oh what a match we are!
As we romance along
Towards the firescape
Open fire
Forever in your arms
Splendid time we have
Doing what I dread
Oh my lord
Can I buy some time
I'm learning to dance
Dum-ditty-dance
I'm dancing, ok?

Overlord
Lord of the underworld
Full-of-wonder-girl
As we twist and twirl
Hot and dry
High in my cloven heels
This is how real love feels
As we prance and die
Oh my lord
Such a fancy fire
As we dance
You sure can dance
Dance dance

You I will never forget
I hope you'll remember me later
We're swimming in a puddle of sweat
I'm hot baby, don't burn your fingers
I'm tenderly served on your plate
The band must continue to play

So we dance
I love to dance
Baby dance with me
Yeah
I can dance
To love is to dance
Now dance me home

Sit, good dog, stay, bad dog, down, roll over
Well here's a good man and a pretty young girl
Trying to play together somehow,
I'm wasting my life, you're changing the world,
I get drunk and watch your head grow

It's the good times that we share
and the bad times that we'll have
It's the good times
and the bad times that we had

Well it's been a long slow collision,
I'm a pitbull, you're a dog,
Baby you're foul in clear conditions
But you're handsome in the fog

So I need some fine wine, and you, you need to be nicer
For the good times and the bad times
That we'll have

Sometimes we talk over dinner like old friends
Till I go and kill the bottle,
I go off over any old thing,
Break your heart
and raise a glass or ten

To the good times that we shared and the bad times that we'll have
To the good times
and the bad time that we've had

Well it's been a long slow collision,
I'm a pitbull, you're a dog,
Baby you're foul in clear conditions
But you're handsome in the fog

So I need some fine wine and you, you need to be nicer
For the good times
and the bad times we know will come
Yeah
I need some fine wine
and you, you need to be nicer
you need to be nicer
you need

For the good times
and the bad time that we had
Sit

Good times, bad times
Sweet wine, bad wine
Good cop, bad cop,
Lapdog, bad dog

Don't blame your daughter
that's just sentimental
and don't blame your mom
for all that you've done wrong
Your dad is not guilty
you came out a little faulty
and the factory closed
so you can't hold them liable
You come from an island,
you're cutting diamonds
with a rubbery knife
Your autograph is worthless
so don't send me letters
and don't mail me cash
'cause your money is no good
What's left in your matress
is holes and lack of love left
some hair from a horse,
and none of it is yours, man
You come from an island,
you're cutting diamonds
with a rubbery knife
And the song you sing today
wasn't always in your head,
the words you tryin' to say
are the ones you shouldn't 've said
they're glistenin' like diamonds,
go out and find' em
but don't blame your daughter
Read me your tombstone,
tell me you're sorry, fax me your will,
you owe me something still
Blood is like water
the bath that you poured me
has drained and it's gone,
don't blame it on your son
And the song you sing today
wasn't always in your head,
the words you tryin' to say
are the ones you shouldn't 've said
they're glistening like diamonds,
go out and find'em
The world is full of diamonds
go out and find'em

a black cloud's hanging over town tonight
but i don't mind
i don't mind
there's a cold breeze coming through the summer air
but i'm not scared
i don't care
'cause we dance the night away
let's dance the night away, yeah

the black cloud's whispering into my ear
but i don't hear
i won't hear
'cause the arms that hold me want an eye to eye
he's touching me
and i don't mind
as we dance the night away
let's dance the night away

oh yeah!
the music wants me tonight
what time will you let me down
i look pretty good tonight
oh yeah!
little black cloud
little black cloud
i don't wanna go home

the black cloud's circling over me tonight
but i don't mind
and you don't mind
if you're cold i'll tell you it's the summer breeze
just dance with me
we'll be alright

oh yeah!
the music wants me tonight
what time will you let me down
i look pretty great tonight
oh yeah!
little black cloud
little black cloud
i'm not done yet

hey, look at me!
the music wants me tonight
what time will you let me down
i look really great tonight
oh yeah!
little black cloud
little black cloud
i don't wanna go home
i'm not done yet
i'm not done yet

I am young and I'm alive
I want to talk about things
I am young and I own my life
I need to talk about it, baby

I am one but I asked for two
I didn't get anything
This puppet's lonely without you
It's tough to walk without strings

I do my dance in the round

I'm right on track but this state is frail
You slip out and derail

I do my dance in the round
So people clap your hands
Clap your hands

I wanna do it right this time
I wanna step in time
I wanna do it right this time, yeah!

Clap your hands

I gotta get get it right this time
I wanna step in time
I wanna do it right this time

I do my dance in the round

I am young, coming at you live
People gonna talk about me
When I'm done, please hang me high
For everybody to see

Cause I do my dance in the round
So people clap your hands

I wanna get it right
I'm dyin' to get it right
I wanna get it right

When you love
I can feel your love
Shooting holes in my stupid pride
When you love
I don't fear your love
Of all the angels you're the most divine

Holy love
You can really have anything you want from me
Anything you ask me to, I'll do
We can live in poverty or prosperity
Anything impossible, I'll try
You can really have everything you ask
And I'll be intimate with you
Giving everything over
To making everything right

Holy love
When you love
I can feel your love
Shooting holes in my stupid pride
When you love
I don't fear your love
Of all the angels you're the most divine
Holy love

You can really make anyone you want of me
Anyone you need tonight, I'll be
Whether you want empathy, animosity
An enemy or company, call me
I can even be nothing if you ask
I'll turn invisible for you
I'm the bird on your shoulder
Singing psalms through the night
Of holy love

When you love
I can feel your love
Throwing rocks through the windows of a monastery
Love
Makes me feel the super extra gravity
Of god, yeah!
And live
When you love
I can feel your love
Of all the angels you're the most divine

good morning joan
now pick up your phone
it was bad but just a dream
and you are remembered
put on something pretty
go back to the city
in town the sky's just space
no starlight in your face
listen to Eve, she's got stuff up her sleeve
to her there's no excuse
you've gotta use before you get used
or talk to Louise
she knows all about freezing
she got lost in early may
and now it's december

I'd call on you if I could
if you were less like me I would

good morning joan
did you wake up alone
did you dream you woke up happy
with a phonebook full of names
just forget about Mary
she says everything's scary
she got locked inside her skin
get near her, she'll drag you in
I'd call on you if i could
if you were less like me I would
save you from this, if I could
if I were less like you, God knows i would (save you from this)
spare us all this shit
but you're all just like me so I quit!
my name is yours
can I sleep on your floor
see, my heroes changed their minds
and i lost my numbers

Slowdancing tight
My barren heart and I
Your name used to taste so sweet
Then you beat the love right out of me
It's a mystery how people behave!
How we long for a life as a slave
When he kissed me I gladly gave in
To a fight nobody could win

Man, he left me blue
And if I could, I would do it too
I tell you now like I told you before
Love is a powerful force
And it's a mystery how people behave!
How we long for a life as a slave
And tumble into any open arms
That will only ever do you harm

Oh, you you, it's always you
The best kisser that I ever knew
True love is cruel love
Not much to be proud of
Nerve-wrecking acrobatic backwards bend
All for a happy end

It's a mystery how people behave!
How we worry ourselves to the grave
When he kissed me I lost everything
Then I got up and did it again

Oh you you, it's always you
The hardest hitter that I ever knew
True love is cruel love
Not much to be proud of
Ass-kissing mercy-missing faithless friend
All for a happy end

Oh girl, look at yourself
What have you done?
What have you become?
Well, I couldn't say
Slow down and think of your heart
Where do you go?
How how am I supposed to know
I'm always looking away
Give me your eyes
So I can see me straight
Give me your eyes
I can't tell night from day
Give me your eyes
So I can see me straight
Give me your eyes
And watch me walk away
yeah, yeah
I took a look at myself
Nothing inside
Except cigarettes and wine
Where there should be a life
You've been watching me for a while
And you like what you see
It's in the eyes of the beholder
Now give them to me
(Chorus... Give me your eyes)
Oh, mirror mirror on the wall
Mirror mirror made no reply
Mirror went black and cracked
From side to side
Oh girl, look at yourself
What have you done?
What have you become
you know the camera don't lie

Slow, slow, slow
There is something you need to know
There's a feeling I don't understand
Here it comes again
Glow, glow, glow
There was love ten seconds ago
In it's place, now a tiny pain
It comes again
There'll be rain on our wedding day
And the chapel will be mud and clay
There'll be rain on our wedding day
Gray be the sky
I don't know why
Slow, slow, slow
Easy come and easy go
It seems your ring is sliding off my hand
Do you understand?
No, no, no
In every breathe you're dragging me low
In every movement the chill sustains
Here it comes again
There'll be rain on our wedding day
Rotting roses in my bouqet
There'll be rain on our wedding day
Gray be the sky
Too late to cry
Slow, slow, slow
Slow, slow, slow
Slow, slow, slow
