THE BATTLEFIELD

Where do we go from here
where do we start..?
Against this force who took
everything apart
How to get up again
from off of this floor..?
You feel like you never stand
strong no more
But the sun don't hesitate to shine
The winds gonna push
those dark clouds aside
The Art will continue to move
The power of the people will be there for You
And so will always I
What can I tell you more
to comfort you..?
To linger the worst of wounds
no words will do
So get up on your feet
just lean on me
There's a place in the shade to sit
away from the battlefield
And the sun don't hesitate to shine
The winds gonna push
those dark clouds aside
The earth will continue to move
The power of the people will be there for You
Out on the battlefield

CLOSE TO HOME

Some places
feel so far away
you know it's no place
for you to stay
just thinking how
How to get away
A Getaway
But You
Make me feel
so close to home
Close to home
Round places
but then so very square
square places with
No Atmosphere
some places you just don fit
At All
But You
Make me feel
so close to home
Close to home

MERCY STREET

What's going down in Mercy Street
you don't wanna hear
the evidence are in my head
and makes it hard to sleep
the beggars and the prostitutes
are nowhere to be seen
There things I couldn't speak of
down at Mercy Street
You once lived down in Mercy Street
we both where selling books
we were poor, but proud men
and payed the price it took
the bars where always open
and the cops would still say please
there ain't no much of that no more
down at Mercy Street
Remember sweet Johanna
she was hooking down at third
a Swedish girl, hard as nails
at least that's what I heard
A month ago they found her
in the river all cut up
I never would go asking
down at Mercy Street what's up
And Daniel and Lafayette
and John who drove a cab
they drank to much and fucked around
but nothing more than that
all three of them so very nice
they made us always laugh
they drove them out of Mercy Street
their no longer alive
Well, maybe time must change
and I'm too old for all this new
'cause all what I believed in
have vanished in the blue
and people everywhere I turn
are looking much to neat
I guess that many more than me
miss old Mercy Street
They're coming now
it's time for us
We're taking up their space
They'll take us down to Disneyland
and shoot us in the face
Remember what I told you
and tell everyone you meet
bring in the angry crowd and
Take back Mercy Street !

OVERBOARD
03:45
|

|
You haven't the slightest idea
what it's all about
It's just number and figures
you keep pushing around
If you only where a properly businessman
skilled in a craft or a trade
but the only thing you do properly
is all the grief you make
Wrong men in government
Wrong people supporting them
Throw these people overboard
You look at the world as it's something
that you righteously own
but who is rockin' the boat now
where are your followers gone...
The passengers getting worried
there's mutiny in the air
A lifeboat is secretly lowered
You can smell the fear
Wrong men in government
Wrong people supporting them
Throw these people overboard
I am just a stranger
avoided every fight
Imagine I was trying to convince myself
everything is gonna be all right
And having you blindfolded on your knees
a gun to your head I know it will
Bang, bang goes the verdict
Bang, bang your dead !
Wrong men in government
Wrong people supporting them
Throw these people overboard

UP IN THE HIGH QUARTERS

UP IN THE HIGH QUARTERS
There must be solutions
better than hard rain
or is the resolution
of life floating away
Lucky people steal my time
when time is on my side
Why are you so afraid at night
or is it just the light
...........................Up in the High Quarters
So many reasons to wonder
you whisper to your self
a lot of us got answers
leading straight to hell
We now better
you know that
we never followed blind
your eyes are blank from staring
for what they never find
...........................Up in the High Quarters
Up in the high quarters
their selling out our faith
or is it just the mankind
washing memories away
Can you hear a bell chime
it sounds so angel like
they say a storm is coming
can you hear them crying?
...........................Up in the High Quarters

INSTEAD OF A GUN
04:50
|

Instead of a gun
I watch these tired eyes
staring at me from my mirror
All that they cannot hide
but my pride’s put a lid on
Allows me only blues
now and then
to get around the nearest bend
The road is full of them
instead of a gun
Blues will sink my sun…
Play a sad song doctor John
Cause my Muse is almost gone
and there’s only musac around
To talk of this broken heart
Once healed by this lady
She now makes it fall apart
painting our picture shady
I’ll try to sing her off
sing her off my mind
Would you just play me some wine…
It makes my inside shine
Instead of a gun
Play a rising sun
Play a sad song doctor John
Play the trees and play the sun
let it roll me along
Play a sad song doctor John !

PapaFahr Trondheim, Norway
He lives by a bootleg philosofy, where atmosphere and soul connection in studio and stage is more important than perfection and equilibrity. Playing on routing and making albums to perfection, where poetry smooth in with overrehearsed cords, is not only a vast of money, but also a vaste of mind. ... more
