LYRICS

Lonely Freedom Blues
(Florstrom/Nilsson, Klarqvist)

Don�t try
To get close to me
Lonely?
Well, I spell it free
Freedom�s only true
When no-one knocks
On the door

Women
I never treat �em right
Old friends
We just get to fight
I don�t need that fuss
All I want
Is some peace

The less I�ve
Got to do with
Other people
The less problems I get

Don�t call
It just bothers me
I�ll let you know
If I want company
I hardly get along
Hardly get along
With myself

The less I�ve
Got to do with
Other people
The less problems I get

Sheer Violence
(Florstr�m/Nilsson)

Come on and
Heal me
With your hands
Come on and
Heal me
Feel me
With your hands
This is
No romance
This is sheer
Violence
This is sheer
Violence
This is sheer violence

I know you want me
On my knees
I know you want a good slave
Liberation�s here for me
Now I�m gonna get saved

Come on and
Feed me
All you can
Come on and
Feed me
Greedy
As I am
This is no
Romance
This is sheer
Violence
This is sheer
Violence
This is sheer violence

I know you want me
On my knees
I know you want a good slave
Liberation�s here for me
Now I�m gonna get saved

This is
Sheer violence
This is
No holding hands

I know you want me
On my knees
I know you want a good slave
Liberation�s here for me
Now I�m gonna get saved

Tears of the Fish
(Florstrom/Nilsson, Klarqvist)

I don�t wake up crying
So I guess I must be fine
And I�m not violent
Which means I�m on the right side of the line
Always wearing clothes on
When I�m walking down the street
But all these good things
They require that you�re close to me

Like the tears in the eye
Of the fish in the pond
I�m like the tears in the eye
Of the fish when you�re gone
Yes Sir baby

Once I felt like something
That you�d flush right down the drain
Lots of ugly feelings
That were similar to pain
Now the door to where they keep
The laughter�s open wide
Then again I very much
Do need you by my side

Like the tears in the eye
Of the fish in the pond
I�m like the tears in the eye
Of the fish when you�re gone
Like the tears in the eye
Of the fish in the pond
I�m like the tears in the eye
Of the fish when you�re gone
Yes Sir baby

Dead Calm
(Florstrom/Klarqvist)

Nothing here is really real
Nothing really counts
And that weird way you feel
What is that about?
You must have forgotten to
Take your little pill
Yeah, that spirit that you felt
Just there to be killed

You gotta do as I do
Don�t let anything through

Don�t expect anything
To make you cry or smile
That�s the entire point
With this lifestyle
Might feel somewhat empty but
Hey, what did you think
That�s a problem quickly solved
- a few pills and a drink

You gotta do as I do
Don�t let anything through

I�m dead calm baby
Can�t be harmed baby
I�m dead calm baby
Just like I never woke up at all

My advice to you is
Don�t be such a jerk
Don�t think twice of what you miss
In thinking danger lurks
Just relax and let it be
The meaning of it all
When you live on hands and knees
It don�t hurt when you fall

You gotta do as I do
Don�t let anything through

I�m dead calm baby
Can�t be harmed baby
I�m dead calm baby
Just like I never woke up at all

Strict Nurse
(Florstrom/Nilsson, Klarqvist)

what I need
is a strict nurse
yeah a stricy nurse
to find me a fast cure

she�ll prescribe
something real strong
something real strong
that�ll go straight to my core

I�ll be your patient
Gimme me something illegal

I don�t think
I�ll make it without
I`ll make it without
Some kinda shock treatment

But I�m sure
You�ll find the right dose
You�ll find the right dose
To keep me silent

I�ll be your patient
Gimme something illegal

Well I�m bedridden honey
And I�m addicted to your medicine

I�ll be your patient
Gimme something illegal

Like A Dog With A Frisbee
(Florstrom/Klarqvist)

You gimme more
Then enought
Your love
My handcuffs

I�m gonna choke
In this "air"
Your love
I can�t bear

You�re like a dog with a frisbee
Never letting go
You�re like a dog with a frisbee

The sense of
When to quit
You�ve really
Lost it

You�ve got a
Problem with "no"
Don�t be embarressed
Just let go

You re like a dog with a frisbee
Never letting go
You�re like a dog with a frisbee

To play for just
A little while
All I wanted
That�s my style

You re like a dog with a frisbee
Never letting go
You�re like a dog with a frisbee

Lack Of Faith
(Florstrom/Klarqvist, Bodling)

Never trusted anyone
Didn�t seem like any fun
I never had much confidence
Always hid behind the fence

A lot of things
I don�t have
But one
Gift I�ve got
Up to my neck

Lack of faith
Lack of faith

I never found the bright side
Not much I�ve done with pride
And if I had any self-respect
in a sec it was wrecked

A lot of things
I don�t have
But one
Gift I�ve got
Up to my neck

Lack of faith
Lack of faith

I�ve always had plenty of it
I�ve always had plenty of it

Never had much confidence
Always hid behind the fence
When things go down the drain
Already knew it yesterday

A lot of things
I haven�t got
But in
One field
I�m really hot

Lack of faith
Lack of faith

Brother Pain
(Florstrom/Nilsson, Klarqvist, Bodling)

Brother Pain
Some kinda friend
Guiding me
Round the bend
Life with him
Will make you moan
Still better then
Being alone

Guess I gotta kiss
His hand and smile
Guess we�ll be together
Quite a while

Brother Pain
He�s my
Mainman

What will take
Away my pain
All the stuff
I took in vain
Seemed to work
Alright at first
All it did –
Encreased my thirst

Guess I gotta kiss
His hand and smile
Guess we�ll be together
Quite a while

Brother Pain
He�s my
mainman
