Hi to the weekend at the wooden house
It's four days
We're off to the mountaintop
Though it's quite noisy with very thin walls
No sex but drugs and rock 'n roll
We bought some cable stuff at
The freaky Hi-Fi store
And some champagne and salmon
That's what we're here for
We like to drink and eat cans
and creamy cheesecake
We're gonna party tonight
It's getting real late
We drink coffee at three
And it's clear to see
We got an easy time
We are writing some chords
And some lyrical words
With beer, some weed and wine
Just before dinner
Solveig gathered some things
And decorated a stilllife at the kitchensink
She took a photo for the album art
While Karin made the dinner nearly á la card
And in the livingroom with a beer in his hand
You can find Sweet Steven making crazy plans
And together the three creating small symphonies
Inside the wooden house

Karin - vocals, melodica, tambourine
Solveig - vocals, bass, cajon

Since You Went Away

I heard a whisper thru the air
I thought I heard your name
A distant call from far away
Sure I heard your name
I thought I heard your name my dear
Dear did I heard you name?
A shining light inside my mind
Fade without a trace
Oh did I saw your face my dear
In a passing car
In a passing train
A shining light inside my mind
I heard your name
I thought I heard your name
Hey did I heard your name?
Since you went away
I thought I heard your name
Hey did I heard your name?
Since you went away
I heard a whisper thru the air
I thought I heard your name
A distant call from far away
Sure I heard your name

Here's the four hands at candle light
It's getting dark
It's late at night
It's nice and slow
And sweet and soft
We don't need much
We got a lot
Four hands all over your face
The moon it hides behind the clouds
My hands are close
You need no doubt
Don't call me up when you are sad
I got a fine time with my friends
Four hands all over my face

Karin - vocals, acoustic guitar
Solveig - bass

Real Grown Up

Sometimes I realise
I'm a real grown up girl
I can do what I like to do
I feel save in my world
I don't need to ask anyone
Yes it's all up to me
I can go where I wanna go
It's my choice to feel free
I'm right back at where I belong
It took such a long time
But I know where I'm right at now
And you cannot deny
I'm a real grown up girl
And you can do what I like to do
I pretend I'm a child
When I think about you
Sometimes I realise
I'm a real grown up girl
I can do what I like to do
I feel save in my world
I don't need to ask anyone
Yes it's all up to me
I can go where I wanna go
It's my choice to feel free

Karin - vocals
Solveig - bass
Steven - guitar, ebow
