Euroshoppa - Jansson Lyrics

Standing alone on a football field
Smoking a cigarette
Looking back at the way you feel
Times change, you can't forget

The tears of a king
Only knew what was approaching
Not so far away as it turned out
The night you once said to me

Sometimes I wake up morning
All those moves that had me crawling
Clearly there was no warning
That my dreams would die so easily

Then one day I realised
I don't know quite what to do
There were so many changes
But you would never ever stop being you

And me, you climbed the mountains
Left a path for shaded doubters
Got stuck trying to use your stride
But someone took away your lust for life

Many words were left unspoken
And promises, they left you broken
But after you took that fall
You're still alive and only feeling small

All dressed up but nowhere to go
You put that make-up on
Hey, what's the song and why the show
Cos oh, how you would digest

All the men I've advertised
Like your big sister
Believe that's a joke
It's such a mess

But hey, it don't matter
All of this got me thinking
I can't stand still or I'll start sneaking
I guess there is no way that I'll go a day

Without drinking
Dump it, cast it on the sand
Someone will kick them in
But if you hope for a greater future

Then you won't get planning permission
We were supposed to stay together
Not fall apart with the changing weather
But you won't even write me letters

A minute when I said it was now or never
You and me, we've been kissed so much
But just for months and we lost touch
Thought we'd settle and have some kids

Where were you when I was on the skids
I want it like a dream
Don't you know
Yeah, something like a story, girl

Yeah, something like a dream
Don't you know
Guitar solo
Sometimes I wake up warning

All those years that had me calling
I take it as some kind of warning
I will stay alive all day
All those parties and long discussions

They don't amount to much
The natural rush has been forgotten
A dinner party so postmodern
I wasn't born to criticize

To commentate or analyze
Please don't ask me to socialize
With all those prematurely middle-aged girls
Things keep getting fancy

Sum it up in a single catchy phrase
What's the spirit of the age
Nothing at all until a later day
Guitar solo

Guitar solo
With these thoughts behind it
Jackson took a walk into the snow
