BY THE GRACE OF GOD
(Andersson / Håkansson)
HEY GIRL
YOU'LL LAND IT
YOU GOT SUPPLIES
IF THEY DEMAND IT
YOU GOT THE LOOKS
AND THE GLAMOUR
CUT BY THE CHISEL
AND BEAT BY THE HAMMER

THEY'RE NAIVE
SO THEY'LL BELIEVE IT
THEY WILL ACT LIKE DOGS
WHEN THEY RECIEVE IT

THROUGH THE DARKNESS
AND THE HAZE
A STRAIGHT AND NARROW
FALL FROM GRACE

THEY NEED - THEY YEARN
THEY LUST WITH CHEEKS UNTURNED
HANDS SHAKE AND HEADS WILL NOD
THEY GET BY BY THE GRACE OF GOD

HEY BOY
YOU UNDERSTAND
SAY YOUR PRAYERS
OR YOU'LL BE DAMNED

HE'S A WATCHER
AND A VOYER
BYSTANDER
AND DESTROYER

THEY NEED - THEY YEARN
THEY LUST WITH CHEEKS UNTURNED
HANDS SHAKE AND HEADS WILL NOD
THEY GET BY BY THE GRACE OF GOD

ALL NEW LOW
(Andersson)
LOOKIN' UP FROM A WAYSIDE DITCH NOW
LOOKIN' UP FROM YOUR PITCH BLACK HOLE IN THE GROUND

THERE'S ONLY ONE PLACE LEFT FOR YOU TO GO
UNCHARTED TERRITORIES WILL UNFOLD

WHEN YOU GO
DOWN AN ALL NEW LOW AGAIN
DOWN AN ALL NEW LOW AGAIN
ALL NEW LOW AND YOU GO DOWN AGAIN

YOU KEEP ON PUSHIN' BUT YOU DON'T KNOW HOW NOW
IF THEY SEE FIT THEY'RE GONNA HIT YOU TO THE GROUND

KEEP HOPIN' BUT YOU'RE IN THE KNOW
THEY'VE GOT 'EM LINED UP AND YOU'LL COME TO BLOWS

WHEN YOU GO
DOWN AN ALL NEW LOW AGAIN
DOWN AN ALL NEW LOW AGAIN
ALL NEW LOW AND YOU GO DOWN AGAIN

LOOKIN' UP FROM A WAYSIDE DITCH NOW
LOOKIN' UP FROM YOUR PITCH BLACK HOLE IN THE GROUND

THERE'S ONLY ONE PLACE LEFT FOR YOU TO GO
UNCHARTED TERRITORIES WILL UNFOLD

WHEN YOU GO
DOWN AN ALL NEW LOW AGAIN
DOWN AN ALL NEW LOW AGAIN
ALL NEW LOW AND YOU GO DOWN AGAIN



DOWN ON FREESTREET
(Andersson)
DOWN ON FREESTREET
BURIED SIX FEET DOWN

IN A ONE HORSE -
CAREFULLY LOCKED DOOR TOWN

WHERE NO ONE EVER COMES AROUND
THERE AIN'T NOTHING THERE TO BE FOUND
AN EYE FOR AN EYE POUND FOR POUND

BLOWN UP YET MINIMAL
BUILT UP BY CRIMINAL HANDS
TO THE REPUBLIC - IT'S SICK
FOR WHICH IT STANDS

THERE'S A MAN ON DESOLATION ROW
REAPING FRUITS THAT SOMEONE ELSE HAS SOWN
AND A PRIME TIME APPEARENCE ON A TELEVISION SHOW

YOU KNOW THE SHEEP ARE RIDDEN WITH DISEASE
AND I'M DOWN ON BENDING KNEES

THE TUMOUR'S SPREADING OH SO FAST
THE REMEDY WILL NEVER LAST
THE DIE'S BEEN CAST AND THE DEADLINE'S PAST

THERE'S A CRYING BEHOLDER
BUT NO ONE TOLD HER WHY
JUST WRAPPED UP IN PLASTIC
CONVENIENTLY ELASTIC LIES

I GOT MY RADIO ON
IT'S PLAYING THAT SAME OLD STUPID SONG
OVER AND OVER FOR MUCH TOO LONG

I'VE GOT TO TURN THAT DAMN THING DOWN...



BETTER THAN YOU
(Andersson)
YOU'RE A KNIFE TO HIS GUN
WHEN YOU'RE BORED
HE'S OUT HAVING FUN

YOU'RE ALWAYS ON THE LOOKOUT
AND HE'S A STAR
YOU STRUGGLE WITH DO'S
AND WHO THE HELL YOU ARE

SO C'MON - C'MON YOU WANNA GET ON
IF YOU ONLY KNEW
YOU'RE A GIVER HE'S A GETTER
JUST ALITTLE BIT BETTER THAN YOU

HE'S A DOCTOR
YOU'RE A NURSE
HE'S GOT UNBOUNCED CHECKS
YOU GOT AN EMPTY PURSE

HE'S A HUNDRED AND TEN
WHEN YOU GOT A HUNCH
HE'S A FIVE STAR KING
AND YOU'RE OUT TO LUNCH

SO C'MON - C'MON YOU WANNA GET ON
IF YOU ONLY KNEW
YOU'RE A GIVER HE'S A GETTER
JUST A LITTLE BIT BETTER THAN YOU

HE'S PILING TROPHIES
YOU'RE ON THE HUNT
HE'S OF ROYAL DESCENT
YOU'RE A BONAFIDE RUNT

HE'S THE DON OF YOUR
HUMILIATION
WHILE YOU PAINT IT PINK
HE CRANKS BROWNSVILLE STATION

SO C'MON - C'MON YOU WANNA GET ON



CARRY ME HOME
(Andersson)
I WAS PARALYZED
AS I OPENED UP MY BLOODSHOT EYES
DO I REALLY WANNA KNOW
WHERE I'VE BEEN OR WHERE I'VE PUT MY NOSE

I'M IN A RUT
KEEP KICKING MYSELF IN THE NUTS
IN A STAIRWELL I SEEK
THE LAIR WHERE I STUCK MY DIRTY BEAK

SO I'M BACK AGAIN IT'S OK
WELL BE THAT AS IT MAY
OVER AND OVER AWAY

INTO THE FIRES UNKNOWN
INTO OBLIVEON THROUGH STICKS AND STONES

PICK UP THE PHONE - MY JACKS ARE ALL BLOWN
OH THESE NIGHTS OUT ALONE
COME CARRY ME HOME

A HABIT HARD TO BREAK
TAKE ME HOME GOOD LORD FOR HEAVENS SAKE
THE DOCTOR'S NOT IN
GOT NO CURE FOR THE MEDICINE

SO I'M BACK AGAIN IT'S OK
WELL BE THAT AS IT MAY
OVER AND OVER AWAY

INTO THE FIRES UNKNOWN
INTO OBLIVEON THROUGH STICKS AND STONES

PICK UP THE PHONE - LISTEN TO ME MOAN
OH THESE NIGHTS OUT ALONE
COME CARRY ME HOME

EVERYTIME I MAKE THE ROUND I TURN AROUND
I'M PUT UPON THE RACK
EVERYTIME I STAND UP I FALL FLAT ON MY FACE
AND BREAK MY BACK - TOMBSTONED AND CHICKENSHACKED



RAINY DAYS REVISITED
(Andersson)
EVER HAD A RENDEZVOUS WITH REASON
OR A PUNCH OUT WITH SENSE
I HAVE 'EM ALL THE TIME YOU KNOW IT AIN'T THE SEASON
THEY SAY I LOOK A LITTLE TENSE

IT DO GET WORSE LIKE A MERRY GO ROUND CURSE
WORSE THAN TALKING TO A WALL
REASON PUTS THE LIGHT OUT AND SENSE PULL THE PLUG
BROTHER RHYME JUST STUMBLES AND FALLS

SO YOU FEEL IT
JUST WRAP IT UP AND SEAL IT
AND DEAL WITH IT WHEN A RAINY DAY COMES ALONG

SO LET US COME TO A CONCLUSION
LET US ALL COME TO TERMS
WITH THE GREATER PROBLEMS AND THE FEWER SOLUTIONS
HOW WILL I EVER LEARN

I CAN GO AGAINST THE GRAIN OR EVEN MAKE A RACKET
PLAY ALONG OR I CAN TAKE A STAND
SURROUNDED BY MONKEYS I DOUBT I'LL EVER HACK IT
I CAN TRY TO TAKE OFF OR I CAN HOLD THEIR HANDS

SO YOU FEEL IT
JUST WRAP IT UP AND SEAL IT
AND DEAL WITH IT WHEN A RAINY DAY COMES ALONG

YOU BET THEM COME ALONG
ALWAYS COMES ALONG

SO YOU FEEL IT
JUST WRAP IT UP AND SEAL IT
AND DEAL WITH IT WHEN A RAINY DAY COMES ALONG

SO YOU FEEL IT
JUST WRAP IT UP AND SEAL IT
AND DEAL WITH IT WHEN A RAINY DAY COMES ALONG



IT'S GOOD BUT IT JUST AIN'T RIGHT
(Andersson)
I WANTED THE WOMEN
TO GO ROUND THE WORLD
GOT THE BOAT DOWN TO HELSINKI CITY
WITH BOYS WHO ACT LIKE LITTLE GIRLS

IT AIN'T QUITE WHAT I PICTURED
AIN'T QUITE WHAT I HAD IN MIND
I REALIZED THAT THE CLOSER I GOT
THAT CLOSE HAS THE TASTE OF REAL CHEAP WINE

CLEARLY - NEARLY
I OPEN MY EYES BUT ONLY SEE THINGS BARELY
I CAN SMELL IT BUT I DON'T GET HIGH
I KNOW IT'S GOOD BUT IT JUST AIN'T RIGHT

ENDED UP WITH A DONKEY
WHEN MY MIND WAS SET ON A HORSE
BARGAINED AND BEGGED FOR A PONY AND I RODE IT
WITH A FAKE SMILE ON ONLY WANTING MORE

I'VE HAD IT WITH JUST ABOUT RIGHT NOW
MODERATE WON'T GET ME NO FAR
BEEN THROUGH ALMOSTS, OKAYS, IN BETWEENS, NIGHS AND DECENTS
BUT CLOSE JUST AIN'T NO CIGAR

CLEARLY - NEARLY
IN THE CORNER OF MY EYE ONLY WORKS IN THEORY
I CAN SEE IT EVEN SHINES A LIGHT
I KNOW IT'S GOOD BUT IT JUST AIN'T RIGHT

CLEARLY - NEARLY
I OPEN MY EYES BUT ONLY SEE THINGS BARELY
I CAN SMELL IT BUT I DON'T GET HIGH
I KNOW IT'S GOOD BUT IT JUST AIN'T RIGHT



U.Y.F.S
(Lindström / Bärjed)
WELL, I GUESS I COULD HAVE WALKED AWAY
BUT SOMEHOW I JUST HAD TO STAY
BEEN DOWN THIS TRAIL SO MANY TIMES BEFORE
BUT NOW THERE`S NOTHING LEFT TO LEAVE ME ASTRAY

YEAH, I`M DONE WITH ALL OF THEM LIES
EVEN THOUGH I KNOW I THREW THAT DICE
NO SECOND CHANCE TO LOOK THE OTHER WAY
AS I WAS CAUGHT BY THOSE DECIEVING EYES

WE ALL GOT SOMETHING UP OUR SLEEVES
BUT (NOW ) I D0N`T KNOW WHAT TO HIDE
AS I RIDE ON MY OWN

WITH A BLINDFOLD DRIVING LATE AT NIGHT
IT`S HARD TO TELL THE WRONGS FROM RIGHTS
JUST CAN`T DANCE DOWN ON EASY STREET
WHEN YOU KNOW YOU CAN NOT WIN THIS FIGHT

WE ALL GOT SOMETHING UP OUR SLEEVES
BUT (NOW ) I D0N`T KNOW WHAT TO HIDE
AS I RIDE ON MY OWN

COZ I`VE GOT A BURNING FEELING
I DON`T WANNA LOOSE
YEAH, I GOT THIS HEALING NOTION

THAT I HAD TO CHOOSE

I`VE GOT A BURNING FEELING
AIN`T GONNA MAKE IT NO WORSE
WON`T BE NO KNEELING MOTION
TO SEAL THIS CURSE

SO. TIMES UP AND I`M ON MY WAY
ALL I`M LEAVING IS A TRAIL OF DECAY
I KNOW I`VE TURNED ALL TOO MANY STONES
BUT THEY ALL JUST LEFT ME OUT AND ASTRAY

WE ALL GOT SOMETHING UP OUR SLEEVES
BUT (NOW ) I D0N`T KNOW WHAT TO HIDE
AS I RIDE ON MY OWN



ON TIME
(Andersson)
ALWAYS GONNA BE HERE WITH YOU
TILL THE DAY THAT YOU DIE
WRAPPED UP IN AN INSTITUTION
ASKING ME WHY

I CAN BE AT SERVICE
BUT MOSTLY I JUST MAKE YOU NERVOUS
BUT YOU KNOW THAT I WOULD NEVER LIE

I'M DAY, NIGHT, RIGHT, SOME OR ANY
EXPENSIVE LUXURY
ONE, TWO, THREE, FOR ALL OR MANY
SCARS IN CHEAP HISTORY

I BREED ANTICIPATION
I DON'T DO NEGOTIATONS
AND I MIGHT EVEN DECIEVE

I'M ON MY WAY
AND I NEVER WAIT
I ALWAYS GET BY
I'M THE CONTRARY PICTURE
AND ON TIME

YOU'RE ALWAYS GONNA FACE ME
FOR SURE OR EVEN IN DOUBT
AT ONE POINT OR ANOTHER YOU'LL DO YOUR BEST TO RACE ME
BUT YOU'RE NEVER GONNA CARRY IT OUT

ALWAY BEING PRESENT
I'M SENILE AND ADOLESCENT
YOU KNOW I'LL MAKE YOU WHIMPER AND SHOUT

I'M ON MY WAY
AND I NEVER WAIT
I ALWAYS GET BY
I'M THE CONTRARY PICTURE
AND ON TIME



ALL I'VE GOT
(Dahlqvist / Håkansson)
THROUGH DENIALS - AND STUPID TRIALS
I CAN'T HIDE BUT I CAN RUN FOR MILES
I KNOW IT'S VAIN - STRAIGHT UP INSANE
TO A DIFFERENT DRUM AGAINST THE GRAIN

IT'S NOTHING NEW
BUT I'LL GET THROUGH THIS TIME YEAH

WON'T - STOP - I'M GONNA GIVE IT ALL I GOT

IT DON'T SEEM RIGHT - THE MORE I FIGHT
I LOSE MY GROUND CAUSE I GET SO UPTIGHT
THE CASE I'M IN - I JUST CAN'T WIN
AS I GET BEAT UP AND MY HEAD GET KICKED IN

IT'S NOTHING NEW
BUT I'LL GET THROUGH THIS TIME YEAH

WON'T - STOP - I'M GONNA GIVE IT ALL I GOT
WON'T - STOP - I'M GONNA GIVE IT ALL I GOT

I'M HITTING LOW - AND WAY TOO SLOW
I NEED A CHANGE IN THIS SCENARIO
AS WAS BEFORE - STRAIGHT TO THE CORE
I'M SICK OF IT BUT STILL WANT MORE

IT'S NOTHING NEW
BUT I'LL GET THROUGH THIS TIME YEAH

WON'T - STOP - I'M GONNA GIVE IT ALL I GOT
WON'T - STOP - I'M GONNA GIVE IT ALL I GOT

I'M GONNA GIVE IT - GIVE IT - GIVE IT ALL IGOT
GONNA GIVE IT - GIVE IT - GIVE IT ONE MORE SHOT
I'M GONNA GIVE IT - GIVE IT - GIVE IT ALL IGOT



GO EASY NOW
(Andersson)
THE SHIP HAS SUNK AND HIT ROCK BOTTOM
WE PLAYED OUR PARTS NOT VERY WELL
SO IT HAS COME TO AN END

WE WANTED BLESSINGS AND WE GOT 'EM
BUT THERE'S NO SEQUEL
NO PART THREE FOR US TO ATTEND

SO CUT US SOME SLACK NOW WOULD YOU
WE CAN'T BE TAKING IT BACK SO COULD YOU
GO EASY NOW ON YOUR OWN
GO EASY NOW ON YOUR OWN

IT'S GETTING CLOSE IT'S DRAWING NEARER
IT'S COMING DOWN HARD
BUT IT'S NOT LIKE IT'S A BIG SURPRISE

AND AS I LOOK AT MYSELF IN THE MIRROR
IT'S TOO LATE
TO SAY I'M SORRY TO APOLOGIZE

SO CUT US SOME SLACK NOW WOULD YOU
WE CAN'T BE TAKING IT BACK SO COULD YOU
GO EASY NOW ON YOUR OWN
GO EASY NOW ON YOUR OWN

TAKE ME DOWN TO MY MAKER
HANDS PUT TOGETHER AND ON BENDING KNEES
IS THERE A WAY THAT I CAN BREAK OR ALTER THIS LOW DOWN DEAL

SO CUT US SOME SLACK NOW WOULD YOU
WE CAN'T BE TAKING IT BACK SO COULD YOU
GO EASY NOW ON YOUR OWN
GO EASY NOW ON YOUR OWN



EXORCIST
(Andersson)
IN THE NIGHT YOU FEEL
SOMEWHAT UNREAL
AND IT AIN'T FICTION

IT'S CATHING UP - WITH YOU
NOTHING YOU CAN DO - NO

AND THE HURT BEGINS
LEECHES ON YOUR SKIN
AS YOU'RE STANDING BY
THE SUN'S ECLIPSED BY A THOUSAND FLIES

IT'S TIME TO FALL - YOU'LL SEE
IT AIN'T NO MISERY
AND IT WILL NOT END

IT'S A FACT - AND IT'S COLD
JUST LIKE YOU'VE BEEN TOLD - SO

THE HURT BEGINS
LEECHES ON YOUR SKIN
AS YOU'RE STANDING BY
THE SUN'S ECLIPSED BY A THOUSAND FLIES

YOUR STOMACH TURNS
YOUR EYES THEY ITCH AND BURN
PRAY TO GOD GET THEM OFF OF ME
ALONE ON BLOODY BENDING KNEES
DESPITE THE FACT YOU SCREAM AND SHOUT
NO ONE REACTS OR CARES ABOUT
THEY SAY IT'S ALL JUST IN YOUR HEAD
IT'S PLAIN TO SEE YOUR LEFT FOR DEAD

IN THE NIGHT YOU FEEL
SOMEWHAT UNREAL
AND IT AIN'T FICTION

IT'S CATHING UP - WITH YOU
NOTHING YOU CAN DO - NO



PRIDE
(Andersson)
I KNOW WHERE I COME FROM
SANDS OF THE FATHERLAND
I'LL FACE ANY BATTLE
THOUGH I DON'T UNDERSTAND

I PLEDGE THE ALLEGIENCE
THE FLAG I WAVE TONIGHT
NOT ONLY AM I GRATEFUL
BUT IT'S ALSO WORTH A FIGHT

I'M TAKING SIDES
ON A SHAKY RIDE
AND YOU WANNA KNOW
WHAT'S THIS THING CALLED PRIDE

I READ THE BIBLE
EVEN THOUGH I MUST ADMIT
I NEED SOME GUIDING THROUGH IT
THE PARTS THAT I DON'T GET

I'M TAKING SIDES
ON A SHAKY RIDE
AND YOU WANNA KNOW
WHAT'S THIS THING CALLED PRIDE

I'M TAKING SIDES
ON A SHAKY RIDE
AND YOU WANNA KNOW
WHAT'S THIS THING CALLED PRIDE
