Often enough I wonder why
anybody would wanna was waste his time
making sense of the laughter, the jokes and the endless lines
cause you know not everything always got to rhyme
Hospital Dreams on the radio
Hospital Dreams they make me want to go
so let me go now let me go
And when I wake up and I see your eyes
tired and weary they must’ve seen a millions lives
you know those snakes in the basement and shadows crawling up the tiles
well they gonna snake and crawl no matter how hard you try
Hospital Dreams on the radio
Hospital Dreams they make me want to go
so let me go now let me go
Often enough I wonder why
I would wanna waste my time
making sense of it all, isn’t it all just fine
you know in one life not everything always got to rhyme
Hospital Dreams on the radio
Hospital Dreams they make me want to go
so let me go now let me go

Just Like Lightning

You make it look so easy
the way you’re all dressed up
some might even say perfect
but almost over the top
so now go ahead
and stab your smile to my brain
some things they're made for a lifetime
and some don’t even last a day
well just like lightning
they come and they go
just like lightning
they come and they go
and all those couches and chairs in impossible angles
if you got a locker full of dreams just put 'em in a corner
well just like lightning
they come and they go
just like lightning
they come and they go

New York Weather

There’s a call on the line
for someone not here
it’s a trip
and how can someone
someone so smart
still be stuck in the past
The parade of years
watch it pass me by
and I see satellite stars
they coming my way and disappear in the dark
Well hey there’s no good answer
to the question that no one asks
So how’s the New York Weather
I know it sure changes real fast
Change real fast
again and again
got no time to understand
What’s on your mind
and what’s on mine
I don’t know
oh hey hey hey
hey hey hey
hey hey hey
there’s really not much to say
Well hey there’s no good answer
to the question that no one asks
So how’s the New York Weather
I know it sure changes real fast
changes real fast
like the wind
like the rain
isn’t it all the same
so how’s the new york weather
how’s the new york weather
man why should I care
why should I care
why should I care

Walking the streets out in Chinatown
You know you look so nice
and then you smile the way you always smile
and you don’t know how to lie
even if you try
give it a try
come on give it a try
Watching the cars with their
strange new shapes as they're flashing by
and all those stores well they sell
things I don’t wanna buy
Sometimes you drive me insane
but I guess that’s part of the game
Some have a smoke
and some go to sleep
Where do we go from here?
and what color makes you blue?
You know there’s some unspoken
deliverance of truth
cause when it glows in the dark
and it shivers in the rain
and it’s flashing its teeth and it’s
calling your name
you know it’s
some kind of possession

She’s playing, she’s playing the piano
She’s playing the piano in the hall
playing nothing in particular at all
and out there behind the window
he beats a TV set with his boots
you know the closer I come
the harder it gets
the closer I come the harder it gets
I’m getting closer
Tombstone necklace
at my feet
holiday vampires well they fill the streets
Wrong place wrong time in sunset park
wrong place wrong time, whiplash in the dark
and when I saw his face suddenly turn white
it was a masquerade the eternal jive
and the closer I come the harder it gets
the closer I come the harder it gets
I’m getting closer

Come on and lay down your cards
lay em out on the table
let me know what you got this time
anyway there’s no turning around
come on
Apocalypse Boogie
Apocalypse Boogie
Come and shuffle your cards
put em back on the table
let me know what you got this time
cause I see your eyes they sparkle like fizzy wine
like a train that breaks the light
you throw a shadow out into the night
come on
Apocalypse Boogie
Apocalypse Boogie

Hope Lights

There’s a crack in the sky
and it’s stuck in the windshield
I’m trying to reach for some
Hope lights in my pocket
you know I got them at the airport
right before they guide you out the hall
clouds of perfume
in the mirror
buy some shades
just to kill the time
and I’m losing my taste
to keep feeding all those shadows
but it just takes a while to shake them off
There’s a crack in the sky
and it’s been there for a while
I'm trying to reach for some
Hope lights in my pocket
you know I got them at the airport
right before they guide you out the hall

Separation Blues
02:46

I get off at High Street
early morning now
and I leave the station
and I walk with the people
there’s a place for everyone
there’s a place for everyone
man, there’s got to be
I get off at High Street
and the sun is shining
on the towers above
and they swinging like skeletons
from side to side
and I see her face as she’s
playing with the shadows
then she leaves and leaves no trace
separation blues

And the city turns white
Where the sun meets the eye
I can see another couple
cold fingers in the sky
looking at the helicopters
they flying overhead
I know there’s something that you’re trying to say
but it’s just to hard to understand
And the city turns white
Where the sun meets the eye
I know there’s something you’re trying to do
but it’s too cold to even move
Baby don’t you know now
baby don’t you know now
Baby don’t you know now
Baby don’t you know now
Sometimes the world is an oyster
and sometimes it’s an ashtray
that lets me put out my cigarette
see everything’s a blessing and everything’s a curse
Baby don’t you know now
baby don’t you know now
Baby don’t you know now
Baby don’t you know now
Everybody’s got something to give
Everybody’s got something to give
Everybody’s got something to give
Everybody’s got something

Björn Magnusson
guitars, words, pianos, drums etc, occasionally on stage, playing songs or making up new ones, sometimes joined by friends, or else alone, here and there, strolling on the astroturf waiting for the rain, a vibrant hallucination, an asthmatic revelation, the eternal jive, there you go. ... more
