Två veckor kvar...
Till vadå? Jo, till en av årets utmaningar - Stockholms halvmarathon. Här är banan:
Det är också startskottet till träningen inför nästa års Vasalopp - nåja nästan - jag ska åka Öppet Spår! Målet är under 9 timmar femton minuter. Jag har precis sprungit 7 km i Norra Sollentuna. Det var så skönt. Vädret var perfekt för löpning - lätt blåst och cirka 15 grader.
Värt att tänka på en Söndag...
Precis som naturen har vi människor bra och dåliga dagar. Det är värt att tänka på, alla människor är värda en andra chans. Alla kan ha en dålig dag. Vem är jag att dömma?
En dålig dag:
En vacker dag:
Men egentligen har inte så mycket förändras, eller hur? Gud var bara på bättre humör på den andra bilden!!
Nu ska jag äta frukost och packa upp!
Hemma igen..
Nu är jag hemma i civilisationen igen. Jag har faktiskt bara varit borta i drygt en vecka. Men det känns mycket längre. Många höjer frågande på ögonbrynen när jag säger att jag ska tillbringa semestern i fjällen. Var gör man där på sommaren? Ja, vad gör man? Jag har vandrat, cyklat, fotat och bra njutit. Här är några smakprov.
Utsikten från vår lägenhet.
En av många stigar jag vandrat på
Vackra vyer
Här bor Herr Ren
God mat
Solnedgång
Cykling
God dricka
Goda bär:
God svamp...
Jag har lekt med kameran
På väg hem...
God natt!!
Imorgon vid den här tiden är jag i Hamra...
Taylor Swift - Love Story
!
God natt!!
Världens snabbaste man...
Världsmästare Usain Bolt 9,58
Silver Tyson Gray 9,71
Brons Asafa Powell 9,84
Fantastiska tider!
Världens bästa idrottsman just nu har haft sin show, WOOOOW!
Motion är något
..som jag inte kan vara utan.
Jag minns att jag som barn var så imponerad av pappa. Först åkte han skidor med oss hela dagen, eller vandrade, eller spelade tennis eller klippte gräset. Oavsett vad så avslutade han alltid med en egen jogging- eller skidtur. Ibland med en timme tennis. Jag fattade inte hur han orkade. NU har jag blivit likadan. Inte så mycket för träningen skull, utan det är mer en bonus. Jag gör det för mer att koppla av, vara själv och rensa hjärnan. Hela dagen idag har jag städat, plockat och packat hemma.
Men oj så skönt det är nu, att se fram emot en härlig dusch, ett glas vin och fridrotts-VM på TV.
Taylor Swift
I close my eyes and the flashback starts:
I'm standing there on a balcony in summer air.
See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns.
See you make your way through the crowd
and say hello;
Little did I know
That you were Romeo; you were throwing pebbles,
And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet."
And I was crying on the staircase,
begging you, 'Please, don't go.'"
And I said,
"Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone.
I'll be waiting; all there's left to do is run.
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story - baby just say 'Yes.'"
So I sneak out to the garden to see you.
We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew.
So close your eyes; escape this town for a little while.
'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter,
And my daddy said "Stay away from Juliet,"
But you were everything to me; I was begging you, 'Please, don't go,'"
And I said,
"Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone.
I'll be waiting; all there's left to do is run.
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story - baby just say 'Yes.'
Romeo save me - they're tryin' to tell me how to feel;
This love is difficult, but it's real.
Don't be afraid; we'll make it out of this mess.
It's a love story - baby just say "Yes.'"
Oh, oh.
I got tired of waiting,
Wondering if you were ever comin' around.
My faith in you was fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town,
And I said,
"Romeo save me - I've been feeling so alone.
I keep waiting for you but you never come.
Is this in thy head? I don't know what to think-"
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said,
"Marry me, Juliet - you'll never have to be alone.
I love you and that's all I really know.
I talked to your dad - go pick out a white dress;
It's a love story - baby just say 'Yes.'"
Oh, oh. Oh, oh.
'Cause we were both young when I first saw you...
Teardrops on my Guitar
Teardrops on my Guitar
Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't see
That I want and I'm needing everything that we should be
I'll bet she's beautiful, that girl he talks about
And she's got everything that I have to live without
Drew talks to me, I laugh cause it's just so damn funny
That I can't even see anyone when he's with me
He says he's so in love, he's finally got it right,
I wonder if he knows he's all I think about at night
[Chorus:]
He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star
He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do
Drew walks by me, can he tell that I can't breathe?
And there he goes, so perfectly,
The kind of flawless I wish I could be
She'd better hold him tight, give him all her love
Look in those beautiful eyes and know she's lucky cause
[Repeat Chorus]
So I drive home alone, as I turn out the light
I'll put his picture down and maybe
Get some sleep tonight
He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only one who's got enough of me to break my heart
He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do
He's the time taken up, but there's never enough
And he's all that I need to fall into..
Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't see
You belong with me
Söndag
Last night I dreamt of san pedro
Just like I'd never gone, I knew the song
A young girl with eyes like the desert
It all seems like yesterday, not far away
Chorus:
Tropical the island breeze
All of nature wild and free
This is where I long to be
La isla bonita
And when the samba played
The sun would set so high
Ring through my ears and sting my eyes
Your Spanish lullaby
I fell in love with San Pedro
Warm wind carried on the sea, he called to me
Te dijo te amo
I prayed that the days would last
They went so fast
(Chorus)
I want to be where the sun warms the sky
When it's time for siesta you can watch them go by
Beautiful faces, no cares in this world
Where a girl loves a boy, and a boy loves a girl
Last night I dreamt of San Pedro
It all seems like yesterday, not far away
(Chorus)
Ta-la-ta-ta-taa
(Chorus)
La-la-la-la-la-la-laaa
Te dijo te amo
La-la-la-la-la-la-laaa
Spoken: El dijo que te ama
Pa-pa-la-pa-pa pa-pa-pa-pahaaa
Aha, aha-ahaaa
La isla bonita
Ahaa, aha-ahaaa...
Police-Message in a bottle
Just a castaway
An island lost at sea
Another lonely day
No-one here but me
More loneliness
Than any man could bear
Rescue me before I fall into despair
Ill send an sos to the world
Ill send an sos to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle
Message in a bottle
A year has passed since I wrote my note
But I should have known this right from the start
Only hope can keep me together
Love can mend your life
But love can break your heart
Ill send an sos to the world
Ill send an sos to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle
Message in a bottle
Ooh... message in a bottle
Message in a bottle
Walked out this morning
Dont believe what I saw
A hundred billion bottles
Washed up on the shore
Seems Im not alone in being alone
A hundred billion castaways
Looking for a home
Ill send an sos to the world
Ill send an sos to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle
Message in a bottle
Message in a bottle
Message in a bottle
Sending out an sos
Sending out an sos
Im sending out an sos
Im sending out an sos...
John Mellencamp - Human Wheels
This land, today, shall draw its last breath
And take into its ancient depths
This frail reminder of its giant, dreaming self
While I, with human-hindered eyes
Unequal to the sweeping curve of life
Stand on this single print of time
CHORUS
Human wheels spin round and round
While the clock keeps the pace
Human wheels spin round and round
Help the light to my face
That time, today, no triumph gains
At this short success of age
This pale reflection of its brave and blundering deed
For I, descend from this vault
Now dreams beyond my earthly fault
Knowledge, sure, from the seed
CHORUS
This land, today, my tears shall taste
And take into its dark embrace
This love who in my beating heart endures
Assured by every sun that burns
The dust to which this flesh shall return
It is the ancient, dreaming dust of God
CHORUS
Jag har fått en ny granne - en ICA Stormarknad.
Här är några bilder!
Och det här handlade jag...
Välkommen hit, ICA! Vi kommer nog ses minst en gång i veckan!
Nu ska jag städa...hahaha.
Katie Melua - Crawling up a hill
Every morning (a)bout half past eight,
My Mama wakes me says,
"Don't be late",
I get to the office, tryin' to concentrate,
My life is just a slow train crawling up a hill.
So I stop one day to figure it out,
I'll quit my job without a shadow of a doubt,
To sing the blues that I know about,
My life is just a slow train crawling up a hill.
Minute after minute,
Second after second,
Hour after hour goes by,
Working for a rich girl,
Staying just a poor girl,
Never stop to wonder why.
So here I am in London town,
A better scene I'm gonna be around,
The kind of music that won't bring me down,
My life is just a slow train crawling up a hill.

Igår var vi i Södertälje och såg årets sommarteater i Wendelahuset, Även i år sätts den upp av Berit Carlberg. Pjäsen heter Kvartetten. Den handlar om hur det är att åldras. och gav många tankar och funderingar. Jag imponerades hur glada och engagerade ensemblen var att spela inför de 10 personer som valt att tillbringa fredagskvällen vid Södertälje kanal. Supén efter smakade mumma! Det var en riktigt trevlig kväll!
Just nu:
Det är svårt att förstå, att det är redan mitten på augusti. Det är bara tre dagar kvar till en och en halv veckas semester. Jo, just det klart jag ska åka till fjällen. I bagaget kommer det finnas kamera, en packe böcker, en dito CDs, en del DVDs, och golfklubborna. Sedan ska jag bara vara en vecka. Vandra, cykla mountainbike, spela golf, läsa och bara ladda batterierna inför hösten. Det ska bli skönt. Ska försöka att åka en dag till Helags.
Åt samma håll
Götgatan var grå och kall av seklets värsta vinter
Det var tungt, att gå
Stockholm verkar full av långa svarta labyrinter
Jag var virrig och trött, jag var sliten och nött
Allting runt omkring mig gick i ultrarapid,
och jag hade inga veckor, inga dar,
bara en röra av en massa tid
Jag ville hitta en bra paroll
Nånting och tro på nåt som tog mig upp en bit noll
och hon mötte mig med sitt leende
Hon sa, "Ta min hand, jag följer dig, vi ska åt samma håll"
Och båtarna låg inne vid stadsgårdens kaj
Jag var beredd o dra till Åbo men hon rädda mig precis
Vad ska man göra ända fram till maj?
Mörkret är så tungt och alla männskor är som is.
men hon tyngdes inte ner, hon sa "Vad spelar det för roll?"
"Här! Ta min hand, jag följer dig, vi ska åt samma håll"
http://www.free-lyrics.org
Blå dörren hade öppet och vi slog oss ner i baren,
hon var hemma efter veckor, runt på resor och jag lyssna
men hon sa "Jag kanske stannar här ett tag,
vi kanske hittar nåt att bygga upp en vacker dag"
Jag måste bara hitta en roll
Jag sa "Ta min hand, jag följer dig, vi ska åt samma håll"
Vi ramlar runt på alla ställen som var öppna den natten
Vi var konstnärer och dom bästa i sitt slag
Vi skulle ta oss långt, vi två
Hon sa "en dag står vi över februari, du och jag"
Natten var så kall, vi höll hårt om varann
Nu stänger dom i Stockholm o människorna försvann
men vi, vi hade lusten i behåll
Ta min hand, jag följer dig, vi ska åt samma
Jag ger min själ till händerna, den som ger och inte rycker
Jag sällar mig till hjältarna som gör och inte tycker
hon var allt, hon var sin,
Hon var den vackraste person jag hade träffat någonsin
Ah, bli kvar här med mig. Bli kvar här med mig
Vi behöver ingenting, ah vi kan starta på noll
men jag har ett rum några kvarter härifrån
Ah, Ta min hand, jag följer dig, vi ska åt samma håll
...härifrån
Ta min hand, jag följer dig, vi ska åt samma håll
ah, vi två
Ta min hand, jag följer dig, vi ska åt samma håll
Mitt sällskap en grå kväll
A worried man with a worried mind
No one in front of me and nothing behind
There's a woman on my lap and she's drinking champagne
Got white skin, got assassin's eyes
I'm looking up into the sapphire tinted skies
I'm well dressed, waiting on the last train
Standing on the gallows with my head in a noose
Any minute now I'm expecting all hell to break loose
People are crazy and times are strange
I'm locked in tight, I'm out of range
I used to care, but things have changed
This place ain't doing me any good
I'm in the wrong town, I should be in Hollywood
Just for a second there I thought I saw something move
Gonna take dancing lessons do the jitterbug rag
Ain't no shortcuts, gonna dress in drag
Only a fool in here would think he's got anything to prove
Lot of water under the bridge, Lot of other stuff too
Don't get up gentlemen, I'm only passing through
People are crazy and times are strange
I'm locked in tight, I'm out of range
I used to care, but things have changed
I've been walking forty miles of bad road
If the bible is right, the world will explode
I've been trying to get as far away from myself as I can
Some things are too hot to touch
The human mind can only stand so much
You can't win with a losing hand
Feel like falling in love with the first woman I meet
Putting her in a wheel barrow and wheeling her down the street
People are crazy and times are strange
I'm locked in tight, I'm out of range
I used to care, but things have changed
I hurt easy, I just don't show it
You can hurt someone and not even know it
The next sixty seconds could be like an eternity
Gonna get low down, gonna fly high
All the truth in the world adds up to one big lie
I'm in love with a woman who don't even appeal to me
Mr. Jinx and Miss Lucy, they jumped in the lake
I'm not that eager to make a mistake
People are crazy and times are strange
I'm locked in tight, I'm out of range
I used to care, but things have changed
Night owls
'neath the neon lights
They've been sleeping all day long,
now they come alive
See all the Night Owls when they gather,
dressed up to the nines
They're out to party and
they'll keep it going 'til the morning light
Sundown girls are posing coolly, looking so divine
Trying to excite and mustify
Sharing juicy secrets
'bout some man to hypnotise
Merry-making sisters, flashing smiles that hold the sharpness of a knife
Chorus
Heavy Boys are watching
from the corner of their eyes
Talking of some hero's lates crime
Then they leave the circle
one by one, once in a while
If you want to keep it going,
'ain't it time that we all had another line
Chorus
Blue-eyed boy
is taking Cinderella for a ride
Promising a glimpse of paradise
Come into my parlour
says the spider to the fly
We'll fake the game of passion and
ward off all the nonsense in our lives
'Til the morning light

When I grow up to be a man
Will I dig the same things that turn me on as a kid?
Will I look back and say that I wish I hadn't done what I did?
Will I joke around and still dig those sounds
When I grow up to be a man?
Will I look for the same things in a woman that I dig in a girl?
(fourteen fifteen)
Will I settle down fast or will I first wanna travel the world?
(sixteen seventeen)
Well I'm young and free but how will it be
When I grow up to be a man?
Oooooo Ooooooo Oooooooo
Will my kids be proud or think their old man is really a square?
(eighteen nineteen)
When they're out having fun yeah, will I still wanna have my share?
(twenty twenty-one)
Will I love my wife for the rest of my life
When I grow up to be a man?
What will I be when I grow up to be a man?
(twenty-two twenty-three)
Won't last forever
(twenty-four twenty-five)
It's kind of sad
(twenty-six twenty-seven)
Won't last forever
(twenty-eight twenty-nine)
It's kind of sad
(thirty thirty-one)
Won't last forever

Goodbye Norma Jean
Though I never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself
While those around you crawled
They crawled out of the woodwork
And they whispered into your brain
They set you on the treadmill
And they made you change your name
And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in
And I would have liked to have known you
But I was just a kid
Your candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did
Loneliness was tough
The toughest role you ever played
Hollywood created a superstar
And pain was the price you paid
Even when you died
Oh the press still hounded you
All the papers had to say
Was that Marilyn was found in the nude
Goodbye Norma Jean
From the young man in the 22nd row
Who sees you as something as more than sexual
More than just our Marilyn Monroe
God natt!!!
SO WHAT??
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na
I guess I just lost my boyfriend
I don't know where he went
So I'm gonna spend my money
I'm not gonna pay his rent
I got a brand new attitude
And I'm gonna wear it tonight
I'm gonna get in trouble
I wanna start a fight
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
I wanna start a fight
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
I wanna start a fight
So, so what, I'm still a rock star
I got my rock moves and I don't need you
And guess what, I'm havin' more fun
And now that we're done I'm gonna show you tonight
I'm alright, I'm just fine and you're a fool
So, so what, I am a rock star
I got my rock moves and I don't want you tonight
The waiter just took my table
And gave it to Jessica Simps
I guess I'll go sit with drum boy
At least he'll knows how to sing
What if this song's on the radio?
Somebody's gonna die
I'm gonna get in trouble
My ex will start a fight
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
He's gonna start a fight
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Yeah, he's gonna get in a fight
So, so what, I'm still a rock star
I got my rock moves and I don't need you
And guess what, I'm havin' more fun
And now that we're done I'm gonna show you tonight
I'm alright, I'm just fine and you're a fool
So, so what, I am a rock star
I got my rock moves and I don't want you tonight
You weren't there, you never were
You want it all but that's not fair
I gave you life, I gave my all
You we're there, you let me fall
So, so what, I'm still a rock star
I got my rock moves and I don't need you
And guess what, I'm havin' more fun
And now that we're done I'm gonna show you tonight
I'm alright, I'm just fine and you're a fool
So, so what, I am a rock star
I got my rock moves and I don't want you tonight
I'm alright, I'm just fine and you're a fool
So, so what, I am a rock star
I got my rock moves and I don't want you tonight
Söndagmorgon
Igår gjorde vi en utflykt i Uppland. Vi gjorde en sväng till Skokloster slott. På vägen dit stannade vi till vid en av Sveriges exklusivaste golfbanor Brohof Slott. På vägen hem åkte vi in till Uppsala. Kul att återse mina gamla jaktmarker. Jag studerade där i slutet på åttiotalet och början på nittiotalet. Men staden har verkligen förändrats. Här är lite bilder från igår!
Nu ska jag ta vara på en vacker söndag, som börjar med frukost på balkongen.
Tears in heaven...
Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven?
Would you feel the same
If I saw you in heaven?
I must be strong and carry on
cause I know I dont belong here in heaven...
Would you hold my hand
If I saw you in heaven?
Would you help me stand
If I saw you in heaven?
Ill find my way through night and day
cause I know I just cant stay here in heaven...
Time can bring you down, time can bend your knees
Time can break your heart, have you begging please...begging please
Beyond the door theres peace Im sure
And I know therell be no more tears in heaven...
Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven?
Would you feel the same
If I saw you in heaven?
I must be strong and carry on
cause I know I dont belong here in heaven...
Rolling Stones - Live with me
Yes, and the meat I eat for dinner
Must be hung up for a week
My best friend, he shoots water rats
And feeds them to his geese
Doncha think theres a place for you
In between the sheets?
Come on now, honey
We can build a home for three
Come on now, honey
Dont you wanna live with me?
And theres a score of harebrained children
Theyre all locked in the nursery
They got earphone heads they got dirty necks
Theyre so 20th century
Well they queue up for the bathroom
round about 7:35
Doncha think we need a womans touch to make it come alive?
Youd look good pram pushing
Down the high street
Come on now, honey
Dont you wanna live with me?
Whoa, the servants theyre so helpful, dear
The cook she is a whore
Yes, the butler has a place for her
Behind the pantry door
The maid, shes french, shes got no sense
Shes wild for crazy horse
And when she strips, the chauffeur flips
The footmans eyes get crossed
Doncha think theres a place for us
Right across the street
Doncha think theres a place for you,
In between the sheets?
Neil Young - Old Man
Old man look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were.
Old man look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were.
Old man look at my life,
Twenty four
and there's so much more
Live alone in a paradise
That makes me think of two.
Love lost, such a cost,
Give me things
that don't get lost.
Like a coin that won't get tossed
Rolling home to you.
Old man take a look at my life
I'm a lot like you
I need someone to love me
the whole day through
Ah, one look in my eyes
and you can tell that's true.
Lullabies, look in your eyes,
Run around the same old town.
Doesn't mean that much to me
To mean that much to you.
I've been first and last
Look at how the time goes past.
But I'm all alone at last.
Rolling home to you.
Old man take a look at my life
I'm a lot like you
I need someone to love me
the whole day through
Ah, one look in my eyes
and you can tell that's true.
Old man look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were.
Old man look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were.
Don't go breaking my heart
I couldn't if I tried
Honey if I get restless
Baby you're not that kind
Don't go breaking my heart
You take the weight off me
Honey when you knock on my door
I gave you my key
Nobody knows it
When I was down
I was your clown
Nobody knows it
Right from the start
I gave you my heart
I gave you my heart
So don't go breaking my heart
I won't go breaking your heart
Don't go breaking my heart
And nobody told us
`Cause nobody showed us
And now it's up to us babe
I think we can make it
So don't misunderstand me
You put the light in my life
You put the sparks to the flame
I've got your heart in my sights
Rockmormor - Tina Turner - Proud mary
Y' know, every now and then
I think you might like to hear something from us
Nice and easy
But there's just one thing
You see we never ever do nothing
Nice and easy
We always do it nice and rough
So we're gonna take the beginning of this song
And do it easy
Then we're gonna do the finish rough
This is the way we do "Proud Mary"
(And we're) rolling, rolling, rolling on the river
Listen to the story now
I left a good job in the city
Working for the man every night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleeping
worrying 'bout the way things might have been
Big wheel keep on turning
Oh the proud mary keep on burning
And we're rolling, rolling
Rolling on the river
Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
Pumped a lot of tane down in New Orleans
But I never saw the good side of the city
Until I hitched a ride on a riverboat queen
Big wheel keep on turning
Oh the proud mary keep on burning
And we're rolling, rolling yeah
Rolling on the river
[repeat song from here once]
If you come down to the river
I bet you gonna find some people who live
You don't have to worry if you got no money
People on the river are happy to give
Big wheel keep on turning
Proud mary keep on burning
And we're rolling, rolling
Rolling on the river
American Land
What is this land of America, so many travel there
I'm going now while I'm still young, my darling meet me there
Wish me luck my lovely, I'll send for you when I can
And we'll make our home in the American land
Over there all the woman wear silk and satin to their knees*
And children dear, the sweets, I hear, are growing on the trees*
Gold comes rushing out the river straight into your hands*
If you make your home in the American land*
There's diamonds in the sidewalks, there's gutters lined in song
Dear I hear that beer flows through the faucets all night long
There's treasure for the taking, for any hard working man
Who will make his home in the American land
I docked at Ellis Island in a city of light and spire
I wandered to the valley of red-hot steel and fire****
We made the steel that built the cities with the sweat of our two hands
And I made my home in the American land
There's diamonds in the sidewalk, there's gutters lined in song
Dear I hear that beer flows through the faucets all night long
There's treasure for the taking, for any hard working man
Who will make his home in the American land
The McNicholas, the Posalski's, the Smiths, Zerillis too**
The Blacks, the Irish, the Italians, the Germans and the Jews
The Puerto Ricans, illegals, the Asians, Arabs miles from home***-*****
Come across the water with a fire down below******
They died building the railroads, worked to bones and skin
They died in the fields and factories, names scattered in the wind
They died to get here a hundred years ago, they're dyin' now
The hands that built the country we're all trying to keep down
There's diamonds in the sidewalk, there's gutters lined in song
Dear I hear that beer flows through the faucets all night long
There's treasure for the taking, for any hard working man
Who will make his home in the American land
Who will make his home in the American land
Who will make his home in the American land
En augustikväll i Stockholm
Här är några bilder från ikväll. De är tagna med mobilen därav kvalitén. Men kolla fullmånen!!

You better shape up;

with affection
you're too shy to convey,

Feel your way.
B: I better shape up,
'cause you need a man
G: i need a man
who can keep me satisfied.
B: I better shape up

G: you better prove
that my faith is justified.
B:Are you sure?
Both:Yes, I'm sure down deep inside.
You're the one that I want.

Oh, yes indeed.
Repeat Chours 2x
Rock my world little country girl
She's got a T-Top Camaro with a scoop on the hood
And two big speakers blasting Johnny B. Goode
Looking so sweet it oughta be a crime
She plays with my heart and messes with my mind
Acts like Madonna but she listens to Merle
Rock my world little Country girl
She wears snakeskin boots made by Calvin Klein
And cheap sunglasses from the five and dime
All the other girls in school they give her dirty looks
She got an "A" in math and never cracked a book
Sure looks good in her denim and pearls
Rock my world little Country girl
[Chorus:]
Rock my world
Drag me out on the floor
Dance with me till I can't dance anymore
One-step, two-step, get in a line
I gotta find a way to make you mine
I tell her that I love her but it ain't enough
She says I got to learn to loosen up
Get a little wild on Saturday night
But make sure she's home before the mornin' light
Sunday she's all ribbons and curls
Rock my world little Country girl
[Repeat chorus]
Rock my world little Country girl
En till:-)
Solnedgång över Stockholm!
Vacker som en solnedgång är den här tjejen!! Låten är inte så illa den heller:)
I am sailing
Den här låten spelades på min stymorfars begravning. Jag förknippar den starkt med honom. När jag ser det här klippet tåras mina ögon. Så Ninne - det här klippet - tillägnar jag dig! Du betydde så mycket för mig!! Han dog 1996.
I am sailing, I am sailing,
Home again cross the sea.
I am sailing, stormy waters,
To be near you, to be free.
I am flying, I am flying,
Like a bird cross the sky.
I am flying, passing high clouds,
To be with you, to be free.
Can you hear me, can you hear me
Thro the dark night, far away,
I am dying, forever trying,
To be with you, who can say.
Can you hear me, can you hear me,
Thro the dark night far away.
I am dying, forever trying,
To be with you, who can say.
We are sailing, we are sailing,
Home again cross the sea.
We are sailing stormy waters,
To be near you, to be free.
Oh lord, to be near you, to be free.
Oh lord, to be near you, to be free,
Oh lord.
En härlig söndagmorgon
Idag äter jag frukost på balkongen. Underbart! Sedan har jag äntligen sorterat ut lite CD-skivor. Jag har så mycket skräp. Det märks att min musiksmak har utvecklats. Förr lyssnade jag mest på refrängen och gunget. Nu lyssnar jag mer på texterna. Det var ett bra tag sedan jag lyssnade på Gyllene Tider. Och det är ett tecken på att något ändrats - för några år sedan gick det inte många dagar innan jag satte på en gammal GT-skiva. I år fyller GT 30 år!! Tiden går! (Nej, jag har INTE rensat ut mina GT-skivor, hahaha.)
du har för lite pengar
det är en sån dag, min sista dag
stämplar ut vid fem, arbetslös igen
det är en sån kväll, jag dricker för mig själv
på samma pub som då, mellan främmande människor
och jag vet så väl, att allt det där är passé
jag söker alla jobb som jag kan få
men säg inte till mig, att allt har ett slut
att allt har ett slut
nattbussen går, till sista station
mellan miljonprogram, ovanpå varann
en tom lägenhet, en hög med räkningar bredvid
för det är det enda som växer här, det och kyrkogården
och jag vet så väl att allt det där är fel
när jag pissar ner en bmw
men säg inte till mig, att allt har ett slut
att allt har ett slut
men säg inte till mig, jag vet så väl
säg inte till mig, aaah
säg inte till mig, att allt har ett slut
att allt har ett slut
att allt har ett slut
mm, allt ha rett slut
för alla vägar har ett slut (allthar ett slut)
och pengar tar slut (allt har ett slut)
och sista flaskan tog slut (allt har ett slut)
och mellan oss tog det slut (allt har ett slut)
(allt har ett slut)
för att har ett slut (allt har ett slut)
Born to run - tröttnar aldrig på den
In the day we sweat it out in the streets of a runaway American dream
At night we ride through mansions of glory in suicide machines
Sprung from cages out on highway 9,
Chrome wheeled, fuel injected
and steppin' out over the line
Baby this town rips the bones from your back
It's a death trap, it's a suicide rap
We gotta get out while we're young
'Cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run
Wendy let me in I wanna be your friend
I want to guard your dreams and visions
Just wrap your legs 'round these velvet rims
and strap your hands across my engines
Together we could break this trap
We'll run till we drop, baby we'll never go back
Will you walk with me out on the wire
'Cause baby I'm just a scared and lonely rider
But I gotta find out how it feels
I want to know if love is wild
girl I want to know if love is real
Beyond the Palace hemi-powered drones scream down the boulevard
The girls comb their hair in rearview mirrors
And the boys try to look so hard
The amusement park rises bold and stark
Kids are huddled on the beach in a mist
I wanna die with you Wendy on the streets tonight
In an everlasting kiss
The highway's jammed with broken heroes on a last chance power drive
Everybody's out on the run tonight
but there's no place left to hide
Together Wendy we'll live with the sadness
I'll love you with all the madness in my soul
Someday girl I don't know when
we're gonna get to that place
Where we really want to go
and we'll walk in the sun
But till then tramps like us
baby we were born to run

Dagen började med några kapitel i boken om Keith Richard. Ett fascinerande livsöde. Med tanke på hans livstil så kan det betrakras som ett under att den mannen fortfarande lever!
Några bilder från mitt paradis just nu:
Nu sitter jag i läsfåtöljen med en bok om Antonia Mörner Johnson. Intressant!!
Stockholm just nu!!
