Lyrics for the music:
”Winter City Sadness”
Winter city sadness
Winter city lights
Waiting by the Harbor
But there´s no Ship in sight
You were all my reason
Why do silence hurt
Turn away from madness, please
Battles in the evning
Battles through the night
Tried to touch your silence
There’s no city lights
Then I saw you smiling
Why do silence hurt
Turn away from madness, please
Dancing with the Devil
Tender moments, please
Shadows from existence
All thats left to se
And I saw you smiling
Endurance from the past
Give the world its peace, please
Lyrics song and music by Patrick Karlsson
"The City Song"
What can I tell you? The pleasure of emptiness. Klondike's fading flowers and Lego of concrete. Wanted to make a trip now. Asphalt's sleepy laziness. Take me where my dreams will carry.
So I traveled to London. A big safe city hug. Swarms of people exploring. But emptiness remains. Far away the trees hum. Tempting with healing songs. But fear is an invisible wall.
A lone cosmonaut in town. Why am I here, what do I want? The forest breathes of freedom now. Shadows of truth like drifting clouds. reality beyond the city sand. Dare to take a step towards new goals. Sleepy. Do not get that far.
... Far away the trees hum. Tempting with healing songs. But fear is an invisible wall.
What do I want to tell you then? My thought is fleeting, like my song. Resting at a café shop. Writing a line for my brand-new song. There are people living everywhere. Big town city is my element. Freedom is just a simple song.
Lyrics, song and music by Patrick Karlsson
”Heart and soul”
I’m all alone
Nothing to hide
No more secrets
I need to be strong, open and true
Thats hwo I am, kind of
Dancing alone, singing a song
Dreaming, hoping
Longing for a time
Heavy my mind
Need things to change
I’m leaving
And I flew to Zion
And from there to Harlem
Searching for a heart of Gold
Through the streats of Rio
Dancing in the moonlight
But my heart is still lonley
Restless my soul
In the land of heart and soul
Why cant I be, more like the rest
And no more hidning
Tell me where I should go
Where I should turn
When loneliness comes
Tell me
And I flew to Zion
And from there to Harlem
Searching for a heart of Gold
Through the streats of Rio
Dancing in the moonlight
But my heart is still lonley
Restless my soul
In the land of heart and soul
Lyrics, song and music by Patrick Karlsson
"Animal freedom"
Where are we, its hard to se
Open Fields of destruction
There is a song, for us all
Turn away from slaughterhouse madness
Let them loose, our friends from the past
Let them be, Animal freedom
Blood moon is shining bright
Food gives them carnage and mayhem
Thousand eyes, in trust they walk
Walking to their destruction
There was a time
Maby once more
Animal freedom for ever
Slaughterhouse, why cant people se
Set them free, animal freedom
Blood moon is shining bright
Open your heart, give them freedom
Lyrics song and music by Patrick Karlsson
"The Dancing Priest"
Vers1:
When he was a boy.
Hell was just a Word
Times were innocent
Innocent his eyes
Dancing down the stream
Through fanatic crowds
The priest that lost his faith
The air was thick and damp
Hell, is just a block away,
He slayed his daemons there.
Into the sunlight.
The moon will write in different chords.
The song of pain and lies
Dancing the night away
The priest, the night, on Hollow ground
Daemons before his eyes
Leads him through the ground
Through guts and bones, good help him
Vers 2:
Bloodstained Eagles fly
Prayed with shaking hands
The priest just killed a man
Or was it just a dream
He Tried to teach them all
What is right and wrong
But when the Eagles fly
No one lissens then
Fallen from his grace again
The stars and strips from god
Have no More bearing
Strings played on broken nerves
An anthem for his country
Dancing the night away
The priest, the night, on hollow ground
Daemons before his eyes
Leads him through the ground
Through guts and bones, god help him

”Summer Child”
Vers 1:
I want to be my normal self
Stars collide, then drifting away
Soft pollution on my mind
Just walk away
Refräng 1:
Trying to be a better person
Everytime, loosing my way
Flying over human landscapes
Alone, inner battles for sunshine
Sometimes Im cold, when the darkness, taking over
Love, I just want to feel sunshine
Want to give love to everyone but
Loosing my way again
Vers 2:
So find a way, summer child
Gentle clouds, drifting away
Threes are reaching for the sun
Energize my mind
Refräng 2:
I take a walk in the park, just breething
Birds are free, so are also we
Humanmade should not be blood, sweat and tears
We create this world together
Why so pale, sad and lonley, feel the sunshine
walk, we are in this together
Children playing and people smiling
Just walk, summer child
Lyrics song and music by Patrick Karlsson
"Above the skyline"
Vers 1: Rays of sunlight
vacation from humanity
I hide and everything is wrong
Oh no
There were times I would go under
If iI didnt hold on to that hope
And you
My friend you stood there strong while I was gone
Vers 2: Above the skyline
Silence and some lonley clouds
I wish there were something I could do
Oh no
I tried to be someone I could not be
I wanted som much, but there is hope
And you, my friend you stood there stong while I was gone
Vers 3: Solid ground now
first step to humanity
Love is where life surrounds my heart, oh yes
One more step into the sunlight
Humanity please give me one more chance
And I
I will stand there strong while you are gone
Vers 4: Rest in peace now
Silence is no where to find
I give and everything is good, oh yes
We march into eternity
Away from competition, war and hate
Oh yes
We will stand there strong all through our lifes
Song, lyrics and music by Patrick Karlsson
"Varberg blues"
Skyffel’n i dödgrävar’ns hand;
Tiggaren från ett annat land;
Barn som leker vid havets strand:
Ja, jag ser kärlek i allt
för livet är inget mer än ett lån
och mitt huvud är fullt av kutterspån;
glädjen är varm, hatet kallt
Jag drog tillbaks till lugnet i sta’n
och drack martini hela da’n -
tristess - och man blir van
även vid de’
och det regn som kom
var det ingen som brydde sig om
så jag fortsatte med lite rom.
Vilket är sånt som kan ske.
Jag vill ha dig, bara dig.
Jag vill ha dig här,
så är det. Jag vill ha dig.
Det fula fyllot i parken bor
under bron med tejpade skor.
Fint folk som snörper mun glor
och tittar bort. Vad tänker dom på?
varför det är så svårt att förstå
livet är alldeles för kort.
Verklighet är bara för mig
Din favorit på gården blev stor
hon tog adjö av far och mor,
men vart hon for det vet ingen här.
Jag har drömt om henne då och då,
om män och den kärlek hon borde få.
Jag har blivit gammal och grå.
Jag drunknar i livets melodi
Jag vill ha dig, bara dig.
Jag vill ha dig här,
så är det. Jag vill ha dig.
Farsan är gammal, trött och senil.
Hans döttrar lever helt vanliga liv.
Jag förblöder, saknar hyfs och stil,
jag lägger patiens som tidsfördriv.
Sommarens sandaler smög sig ut
och med hösten blev allt som förut
hoppet tog slut, med den första frosten.
Mina planer är likt höstens blad
vackra att se - men gör ingen glad,
Tröstlösheten kommer i sakta parad som brev på posten
Jag vill ha dig, bara dig.
Jag vill ha dig här,
så är det. Jag vill ha dig.
Lyrics by Lars Beerman. Song and music by Patrick Karlsson.
