The story of a girl in love with me
Our lives
Goodnight
By the time I was living in LA, the idea poped up one evening as my room-mate, going to bed, said goodnight to me. I answered "sleep tight", then I grabed a guitar and started the song. It's based on a sour and cynical personal experience.
Goodnight, sleep tight
You oughta be alone in peace the whole night
Goodnight, the moon’s bright
I don’t lie next to you but it’ll be alright
And eventhough I’m miles away
I send you love and everyday
Some telepathic tenderness
Some sweet caress with all the rest
To wish you a good night
Goodnight, no light
I fear you’re not alone in bed this damn night
Dark night, don’t fight
You gonna live your life without me tonight
Though I’m the one who went away
You took it well but day by day
You forgot me not seeing me
Bored by my calls, my rhapsody
I drown in one sad black idea
So finally you just leave me
But I gotta tell you I don’t care ‘cause
I’ve been cheating on you, cheating on you all along
No I don’t care because I’ve been cheating on you, cheating on you all along
I said I’ve been cheating on you all along
Heart of a monster
If I was a girl, angry at my boyfriend for misbehaving,that's pretty much what I would feel like saying. Maybe I'm a monster, after all.
You found me sweet and pretty,
But still I wasn’t ready.
Squeezin’ my brain and soul
Wherever I would roam.
They tell me I’m a liar;
They cut off my desire.
I’m getting further, higher
Until I’ve found my lover.
I won’t cry not any longer,
Sick of you piggy slaughter.
I won’t cry not any longer,
You’ve got the heart of a monster.
Then pain is getting down
To the Sinner King’s crown.
You’re feeling sad and lonely - this is your misery.
Life is so easy, when I’m that easy.
I’m not easy.
They tell you you’re a liar;
They cut off your desire.
I’m getting further, higher.
You’ve got the heart of a monster.
You’ve got the heart of a monster.
3 minute goodbye
I felt I had to leave my girlfriend and at the same time leave France but I couldn't really say it. It's a suicidal song, when you try to get a grip on something to help you stay on the road.
My sour times turn to sweet.
My honey makes me egocentric.
The people I love to meet
but sugar turns me diabetic.
Why is it always do or die?
I feel so lost as I cry.
You know my misery’s why I sing this 3 minute goodbye,
And my little hope is what keeps me alive.
My wish for freedom makes you sad,
I guess I could have lied.
But I’m the one I stab my faith has gone it drives me mad,
And my little hope is what keeps me alive.
But I can’t find my place 'round here,
And it’s so hard to face my fear,
I could once try to disappear from here.
As I feel sorry for myself, can’t fit with anybody else.
I can’t find help inside my empty dry head tonight.
And my little hope is what keeps me alive.
Goodbye, it’s gonna be alright.
Don’t cry if I decide to fly.
I guess I’m with the stars now.
Goodbye, it’s gonna be alright.
Don’t cry if I decide to die.
To fly, I’m gonna touch the sky.
Goodbye.
Each time I think that I could lose my game,
I cheat and play somebody else.
Each time I try to please a pretty face,
I shouldn’t feel bad in disgrace.
Each time I think that I could lose myself,
I cheat and play somebody else.
Each time I’m wrong but I keep on this chase,
I end up at somebody’s place.
Goodbye,
Don't cry, if I decide to die.
The one
This is a pure love song, no bitterness underneath, just honest and simple hope.
Am I the one to love you?
Am I the one to make you care?
I don’t know if I am the one to heal you
I wonder if I’d be the one to make you dare
Are you the one to cuddle me on the sofa so peacefully?
Or I wonder if you’re the one to calm my nightmares in your arms
When I think back on tragedies of broken hearts, apologies
A missunderstood one night stand that was supposed to be romance for life
It’s life
Are me and you as one and one makes two?
So obvious then that a couple is one and one as three
If one is the loneliest number when you’re alone like me
Then one is a beautifull number when love does set us free
Then we are the one
The one
Girlfriends
A quite humorous catalogue.
My English girlfriend wants me to be happy.
My Swedish girlfriend drives me totally crazy.
My Austrian girlfriend has not forgotten me.
My Japanese girlfriend's gone far across the sea.
My Bulgarian girlfriend never felt anything for me.
My German girlfriend says it's not that easy.
My French ex-girlfriend is impossible to see.
But all my girlfriend left scars in my memory.
'Cause I take pleasure culture,
And travel with my tongue.
For all my girlfriends be sure
I take them all along.
My Danish girlfriend calls when I feel lonely.
My Iranian girlfriend says I'm gay and is sorry.
My Tchecky girlfriend should take some exctasy.
My African girlfriends are more than fantasy.
My Indian girlfriend revealed my infancy.
My Norwegian girlfriend hasn't reached puberty.
My Yankee girlfriend don't know what it's gonna be.
But all my girlfriend left scars in my memory.
'Cause I take pleasure culture,
And travel with my tongue.
For all my girlfriends be sure
I meet them all along
I take them all along.
Some more should be order
Pop songs can't last forever.
I take them all along
I take them all.
Never end glowing
This is the first song I wrote with Sofia Nilsson. She amazed me with a creative sens of finding vocal melodies. It's about looking inside oneself for the sens of life and relationships.
I have a hundred and nine more lovers on my score
But still I can’t find the key to open up my door
So I may come back home, go back to mom and dad’s fire
But is that fire cold or is my color gold?
Am I faking myself or is it somebody else
Who’s keeping on playing, keeping on playing
And never end glowing, never ending
If your heart belongs to somewhere else than here
It starts and ends, “hi" and "bye” just on and on
It’s you I’m hinting at my young Swedish lover, again
But the present does hurt; my hope and the future remain
Am I faking myself or is it somebody else
Who’s keeping on playing, keeping on playing
And never end glowing
Would I please all I know but me?
Would I please any at all?
It’s right there out at see
Where they’re keeping on playing, keeping on playing
And never end glowing, never end glowing
‘Cause it’s anytime I ain’t strong or when my meaning is just wrong
The weaker and the stronger man could never take a part of my game
When we’re keeping on playing, keeping on playing
And never end glowing, never end glowing
Evil Today
In stockholm, I couldn't get in a fancy club because my jeans were torn. The doorman said he would accept shorts but no torn pants. So I took them off entering with underwear boxers. I got kicked out still but we all had a good laught. I was then considering my love life as well.
I wanna fall in love but it seems that it’s gonna be delayed
Each time I meet a girl I may love
She leaves in a couple of days
Of course I’m not to blame
How many times have I done it myself?
Playing the sensual man, then disappearing ashamed of myself
I’m getting evil today
I’m gonna burn all on my way
I’m getting evil today
In the shower thinking: can we stop the one way feelings?
I put the soap back on the shelf then I’m pissing on myself
I try to fall in love but it just brings back pain to me
I try to stay above but I’m sorry for what I see
I’m getting evil today
I’m gonna burn all on my way
I’m getting evil today
No being a nice guy anymore
Slap on the bottom, don’t hold the door
And be a master on your way
‘Cause you’re the evil king today
The evil king today
I go out with my torn up jeans
So they can easily kiss my ass
No, my nonconformism means I don’t wanna stand among the mass
No, my nonconformism means I don’t wanna stay among the mass
No, my nonconformism I don’t wanna stand among you
I’m getting evil today
I’m gonna burn all on my way
I’m getting evil today
I’m getting evil today
I’m gonna burn you, burn you
I’m getting evil today
I’m gonna burn you
I’m getting evil today
Unexpected
At a party by some friends, I got introduced to an amazing girl. As I wanted to show off giving her a motorcycle ride home, she took me to an amazing appartment oversighting the Eiffel Tower in Paris. We made out drinking a "super cliché" last drink, the roles I primary excpected got totally spin upside down as she put an unexpected spell on me. I wrote the whole song the next day. We never did anything again anymore.
I liked you
Who impressed who?
You liked me
I guess what you needed, easy
Anytime you feel alone,
As different as can be
If you’re just on your own,
I’ll shelter your body
I’m just a playboy and you know you’re so pretty
You may be what I need
It could be interesting to see
Anytime I may feel dumb, or clever, or so sexy
If I’m just on my own, you could be perfect to me
I've been waiting for you
Sorry Song
Being sorry to make someone so sorry.
If I’m writing this down, it means that we broke up recently
This is my sorry song for you;
I know it’s no help to be sorry
If I made you cry or made you feel like I was passing by
If I disappointed you,
If you feel you lost your time
If today’s wrong, accept my sorry song
You can call me selfish and it’s OK,
'Cause I just may be a little lost
I’m living day by day, but I can’t stay,
No I can’t stay
You can say you deserve more than me or one of my stupid songs
No one knows what the future will be,
And you’re life will be so long
If I made you cry or made you feel like I was passing by
If I disappointed you,
If you feel you lost your time
If today’s wrong, accept my sorry song
You can call me selfish and it’s OK,
I just may be a little lost,
I’m leaving day by day, but I can’t stay,
No I can’t stay
You can call me selfish and it’s OK,
'Cause I just may be a little lost
I’m leaving day by day, but I can’t stay,
No I can’t stay
No I can’t stay
If today’s wrong, accept my sorry song
How heedless
The way our love life is not that much in our clumsy hands. Unsecure with my girlfriend, I just let go. We're not kids anymore.
Do you notice that some deeds make the children laugh?
And we laugh
They may decay, to pray, to pay
They play, you’d rather say
I am early for our date
My hands are clumsy when yours are late
Do you see the lines that cross our spiral lives
They're bringing me back to face our lies
I never knew when you were calling me some sweet names alternatively
I don’t dare to ask if you’ve ever loved me
I am early for our date
My hands are clumsy when yours are late
It remind me of how heedless children can rest
How heedless
Naïve
The big questions in life: why, what, when, where... just naïve.
So many things do twist my mind
Of sentimental or working kind
Though, more or less we’re all the same
A change of luck someone gets fame
If I dream about a song
That’d turn everybody strong
There’d be no more right or wrong
We’d be naïve all along
Would you believe my song is true?
I can doubt it just as you
Does it sound useless to you?
As if I don’t ever have a clue
If I dream about a song
That’d turn everybody strong
There’d be no more right or wrong
We’d be naïve all along
Catch the ride if it passes in front of you
Never hide, never regret what you do
If I dream about a song
That’d turn everybody strong
There’d be no more right or wrong
We’d be naïve all along
The world keeps turning on and on and on
We would carry it on and on and on
Superficial (a tribute to Berlin)
This is a tribute to Lou Reed's song "Berlin". Trying to fit in and making fun of politicaly correct relationships, it's all ok because it's just the way it is.
(Happy birthday to you...)
In Stockholm, they are tall, they are blond, Barbie dolls.
Some come to Paris, play with guys, burn their legend and disguise.
In parties, it’s just fun, you get wasted, over-run by pills or drinks, and then you dance,
By joints or dust, so I enhance.
(Take my hand and dance...)
In the streets, as you know, my eyes snap high and low.
Girls and boys show their cool, you’ll be pretty you’re a fool.
Last night I was in a fancy night club, with TV stars and booze for free, hip dudes and models.
It could be so cool but I felt no good.
Twenty times I’ve seen some girl of my dreams, but in the end, I didn’t make any new friends at all.
Superficial goals is all, I don’t believe in angels.
If I feel this is the right place, then somebody’s heart beats in my pace.
(Could we share this last kiss? ‘Cause I don't care about your age and I think you're really attractive... )
The story of a girl in love with me
Another girl felt I could be the one. Sorry, thanks but no thanks. That's life...
This is the little story of a girl in love with me
She thought that I might be the one when she met me
What should I have done? I’m weak and I noticed
That she was more than happy to have some sex with me
And I will tell you why, we cannot walk on by
I've been in your shoes so many times
I know what it’s like, and it’s no fun to be
You could even come on me, it doesn’t help, sorry
And I will tell you why
We cannot walk on by
I've been in your shoes so many times
I used to lose my mind to find the perfect kind
We know that love comes and goes
Just wait, you know
I’m proud you found interest in me
It makes me hope someone else I’d love could also love me
And I just told you why
We cannot walk on by
I've been in your shoes so many times
And I will tell you I heard about a time
People would find love in life
Our lives
I woke up one morning with the bridge riff in my head, wanting a rithmic song recalling many bands with different thoughts put in order. No special meaning, it's just a bunch of snapshots of our lives.
I’ve been to so many cities
Led by suicidal tendencies
I’ve met some beautiful girls
It was in Sweden’s Gothenburg
And I’m just talking about my life
I get bored when I’m in London
We got the will to carry on
When LA’s under the rain
My hopes are going down the drain
And I’m just talking about your life
You come around as I hit the ground
You feel your life’s fading to gray
It can always change day to day
There is always hope after bad spleen
Through my melancholy evergreen
If we were too young then each day
We’re getting older anyway
You shouldn’t cry as you go by
Maybe it’s not a kiss goodbye
And I’m just talking about our lives
You never knew when I was pissed off
And I’m just talking about our lives
