TEKSTER FRA EDEN / UT AV SKALLET

Royal – “En historie om å bryte normer knyttet til kjønn og seksualitet i arbeiderklassen”
Just another
Angry working class boy
With the lips of a girl
They have never
Ever kissed a boy though
You just wanna fuck the world
Dreams of Bowie – social climbing
The middle class all love to bend
If you found a royal – you could be a royal
Ooo, I see royals in your future
If you stop running away
Ooo, I really hate to see you crying
Better days are on the way
Cause I’m sorry for the hurting
Shit you have to take
I promise you love, you see
Better days are coming
And you look royal to me
They tell you
Find a girl and
Make a steady plan
Fall in love just
Learn to love yourself and
Try to be a better man
While you just want to bleach your hair
And you hate to be a better man
Better be a royal – fucking with the royals
Ooo, I see royals in your future
If you stop running away
Ooo, I really hate to see you crying
Better days are on the way
Cause I’m sorry for the hurting
Shit you have to take
I promise you love, you see
Better days are coming
And you look royal to me
So just leave it all
No more working class hero
Leave it all, behind
Ooo, I see royals in your future
If you stop running away
Ooo, I really hate to see you crying
Better days are on the way
Cause I’m sorry for the hurting
Shit you have to take
I promise you love, you see
Better days are coming
And you look royal to me
Stuck in the middle of nowhere – “En sann historie fra en lesbisk råner”
Pretty sure nothing’s changed in a hundred years
It’s like we got asphalt and Jesus and no one cares
I take the cans out of my car
I love a cigarette when I do my art
When I leave it says «racing» and «no fear»
I’m stuck in the middle of nowhere
I’m stuck in the middle of nowhere
You said that I'd go really far
That’s why I keep on driving
And all night I'm racing in the streets
You said I was tougher than the boys
That’s why I keep on fighting
Waiting for someone to punch me out
Stuck in the middle of nowhere
Always leave the motor running outside our house
It’s just another thing you would hate if you were around
You left me all your Springsteen records and a gun
I drive a beat up Volvo and and race for fun
Only wheels on the asphalt feels like home
I’m stuck in the middle of nowhere
You Only taught me how to be hardcore
That’s why I keep on going
And all night I go racing in the streets
My Dreams are Gasoline and Chrome
That’s why I ride the lightning
Wait-ing for You to Come Back Home
Stuck in the middle of nowhere
I’m stuck in the middle of nowhere
Stuck in the middle of nowhere
Fade out – “En historie om å være skeiv (og forbannet) i Kristiansand”
They will teach you how to be a girl
About Jesus and how sinners burn
They own half your fucking city
Wanna fade out
I just fade out
Fade out again
Fade out again
They tell lies about a “nordic race”
It’s just politics to kill all gays
When free speech is cutting of my head
Wanna fade out
I just fade out
Fade out again
Fade out again
Tell me: Who needs police
That let nazis walk our streets
I’m so angry I cant sleep
I’m so angry
But I fade out
Fade out again
Fade out again
Heaven – “En feiring av skeive utesteder og deres sentrale rolle som trygge havner og møteplasser gjennom historien”
Brown eyes in reflection
Blue nails on the phone
“Hey, let’s go to Heaven
While the night is young”
Running down the pavement
Always running late
Know your girls are waiting
At your favorite place
And it’s so heavenly
Heaven is dancing with your girls
Blessed with safety and beauty and life
Like it transcends what hurts
Sometimes it’s wonderful
Leaving the shadows by the door
When you’re all that you wanted to be
And it fits perfectly
Bus back Sunday morning
Backseat all alone
Sometimes you get nervous
When you’re on your own
Got your hair back and your pepper spray
If they try something you know the way
When you think of what heaven was like
You know you’ll be all right
And it’s so heavenly
Heaven is dancing with your girls
Blessed with safety and beauty and life
Like it transcends what hurts
Sometimes its wonderful
Leaving the shadows by the door
When you’re all that you wanted to be
And it fits perfectly
And it’s so heavenly
Heaven is dancing with your girls
Blessed with safety and beauty and life
Like it transcends what hurts
Sometimes its wonderful
Leaving the shadows by the door
When you’re all that you wanted to be
And it fits perfectly
When it fits perfectly
It's so heavenly
I Was a Fool – “En historie om å miste noen”
Tell me all the stories
From when we were we young
And how we danced all night
We were always dreaming
Would follow the lights
Back when they were so bright
Show me all the sunsets
We lost in the west
When we were beautiful
Tell me all the mornings
We swam in the lake
Were unforgettable
I remember waiting for you by the train
I remember losing my mind
I was so young when we met – I was a fool
Darling, I’m still foolish and I can’t forget
I was a fool – was a fool
I thought you were cruel when you left – I was a fool
Darling, now the memories are all I have left
I was a fool – was a fool
I still see you laughing
With all of the boys
You were the gorgeous one
I still hear you crying
You said you were lost
And you would always run
Last night I was walking
Alone in the rain
I thought I saw your face
At the bar by the station
Right next to the lake
That was our favourite place
I remember waiting for you by the train
I remember losing my mind
I was so young when we met – I was a fool
Darling, I’m still foolish and I can’t forget
I was a fool – was a fool
I thought you were cruel when you left – I was a fool
Darling, now the memories are all I have left
I was a fool – was a fool
Stolt – “En historie om å tørre å være stolt”
Tør du gå
Her med mæ
Å ta hånda mi i Markens
Vi som aldri skulle komme hjem
Kjenner gråten bak i halsen
Tørre si
Det tok tid
Bare det å skulle leve
Jage skygger fra ei annen tid
Retter ryggen selv om hjertet slår og slår
Og tok mæ hit
Æ e stolt
Æ e stolt
Æ ser fremover nå
Æ har søkt
Æ har tvilt
Æ har rast om natta
Alt æ venta på
Herregud, la det gå nå
Er så stolt nå
Æ e stolt
Æ e stolt
Æ tar hånda di nå
Du har søkt
Du har tvilt
Du har rast om natta
Alt du venta på
Herregud, la det gå nå
Er så stolt nå
Du kan gå med mæ - Bare ta hånda mi
Æ e stolt av dæ – men æ vet det tar tid
Æ kan stå
Her med dæ
Se de flagger over torvet
Er så glad æ kunne finne hjem
Gikk mæ nesten bort i natta
Tørre si
Å få fri
Fri fra alt du har tatt med dæ hit
La mæ følge dæ et stykke til
Løfter blikket selv om hjertet slår og slår
Og tok dæ hit
Æ e stolt
Æ e stolt
Æ ser fremover nå
Æ har søkt
Æ har tvilt
Æ har rast om natta
Alt æ venta på
Herregud, la det gå nå
Er så stolt nå
Æ e stolt
Æ e stolt
Æ tar hånda di nå
Du har søkt
Du har tvilt
Du har rast om natta
Alt du venta på
Herregud, la det gå nå
Er så stolt nå
Du kan gå med mæ - Bare ta hånda mi
Æ e stolt av dæ – men æ vet det tar tid
Du kan gå med mæ - Bare ta hånda mi
Æ e stolt av dæ – men æ vet det tar tid
Æ e stolt
Eden – “En historie om å risikere alt for kjærligheten i voksen alder”
Æ var en fargeløs skygge
Matt som ei rose som dør
Blått som den evige natta
Var livet mitt før
Æ sang forsiktig når himmelen var svart
Æ ba om frelse hver eneste natt
Gud, kan man dø av å lengte?
Når alt er som før
Kjære æ så dæ i drømme
Du rodde mæ ut av mørket
Æ så et håp om et liv
Eden
Kjære æ så dæ i haven
Du sang så vakkert i drømmen
Æ så alt starte på ny
Eden
Du ligger naken i skyggen
Paradis var aldri tapt
Livet og drømmen om Eden
Vi sammen har skapt
Selv om æ tvilte så tror æ på oss
Verner om freden men klar for å slåss
Æ fant en styrke her
Æ har en kraft her
Kjenner det vokser i mæ
Kjære du kom hit med stormen
Æ sto alene på skansen
Tårene ble til en bønn
Eden
Kjenner det rister i hjertet
Glede og galskap og smerte
Hold mæ til allting tar slutt
Eden
Æ er i Eden
Æ er i Eden
Er i Eden
Kjære du kom hit med stormen
Æ sto alene på skansen
Tårene ble til en bønn
Eden
Gud som det river i hjertet
Glede og galskap og smerte
Hold mæ til allting tar slutt
Eden
