Danish children song

Min farfar drikker sødmælk ( My granddad drinks high-fat milk )
Ja, sødmælk drikker han ( Yes, high-fat milk he drinks )
Og drikker han ikke sødmælk ( And when he's not drinking high-fat milk )
Så spiser han ærter og flæsk ( He's eating peas and pork )

I remember you

I remember you,
You're the one that made my dreams come true
A few kisses ago..
I remember you,
You're the one that said, "I love you too,
Didn't you know?"
I remember too
A distant bell,
And stars that fell
Like rain, out of the blue..
When my life is through
And the angels ask me to recall
The thrill of them all,
I shall tell them I remember you.
I remember you,
You're the one that made my dreams come true
A few kisses ago..
I remember you,
You're the one that said, "I love you too,
Didn't you know?"
I remember too
A distant bell,
And stars that fell
Like rain, out of the blue..
When my life is through
And the angels ask me to recall
The thrill of them all,
I shall tell them I remember you.
Oh, you.., Oh, you.., You..

Karvel

Don't listen' I said
They are giving you the wrong message
They are practising breathing into the heart
Nonsense and nonsense
Love everyone and "I love you"
And everyone here
Everyone here loves you
Love everyone and "I love you"
And everyone here
Everyone here loves you
You have to remember to calculate
And dont you understand the future
And don't trust nuns
And the sun doesn't sink today
And never never never never
Love everyone and "I love you"
And I never
And I never love you
O ho!
The devil stands and doesn't know how to smoke
And when the huge motherfucker starts moving
Try to open up
They practice breathing into the heart
And the devil knows
Love everyone and "I love you"
And I never
And I never love you
All that you see
Don't listen' I said
And 'don't listen' I said

Ooops

Ooops - alright
I'll come over
And pour myself over you
Jars of fun!
Exciting stories
I'll make you forget
Tickle you a little bit
Seduce out your good temper

I'll cook my best dish for you
But then it's my turn
I want all your adoration
Dog, I own you
Sit down fool
You own me

I'll shine all over you
Grab the rays

I'll come over
And pour myself over you
Jars of fun!
Exciting stories
I'll make you forget

Satisfaction

Polly Jean Harvey:

I can't get no... satisfaction
And I try
And I try
And I try
And I try
I can't get no...
No no no
When I'm drivin' in my car
And the man comes on the radio
He's tellin' me more and more
About some useless information
Designed to

Fire my imagination

Hey, hey, hey

And I'm doin' this and I'm signin' that
And I'm tryin' to make some dough, tell me
Baby, better come back, maybe next week
'Cause you see I'm on a losing streak

Oh, no, no, no

Scary

He means tomorrow but says: "In a bit"
And doesn't show up at all
He sets his watch to a comet's orbit
Remembers to forget to call

No courage for love
Too scared to be happy
No courage for love
Too scared to be happy

I do.... do
I do.... do

"Your place or mine" means "heaven or hell"
Two addresses somewhat apart
His home's dark and spiky, her's clear as a bell
It's over before they can start

No courage for love
Too scared to be happy
No courage for love
Too scared to be happy

I do.... don't
I do.... don't

And tomorrow passed them by X4

La, la, la, la, la ....

Anyone Who Had A Heart

Anyone who ever loved - could look at me and know that I love you
Anyone who ever dreamed - could look at me and know I dream of you
Knowing I love you, so
Anyone who had a heart -would take me in his arms and love me too
You wouldn't really have a heart - and hurt me like you hurt me
And be so untrue - what am I to do?
Every time you go away - I always say this time it's goodbye dear
Loving you the way I do - I take you back
Without you I'd die dear - knowing I love you, so
Anyone who had a heart -would take me in his arms and love me too
You couldn't really have a heart - and hurt me like you hurt me
And be so untrue - what am I to do?
Knowing I love you, so - anyone who had a heart
Would take me in his arms and love me too
You couldn't really have a heart - and hurt me like you hurt me
And be so untrue
Anyone who had a heart
Would take me in his arms and always love me
Why won't you?
Anyone who had a heart would simply take me
In his arms and always love me -why won't you?, yeah
Would take me in his arms and always love me
Why won't you?
Anyone who had a heart

Downtown

When you're alone and life is making you lonely
You can always go - downtown
When you've got worries, all the noise and the hurry
Seems to help, I know - downtown
Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city
Linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty
How can you lose?
The lights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares
So go downtown, things'll be great when you're
Downtown - no finer place, for sure
Downtown - everything's waiting for you
Don't hang around and let your problems surround you
There are movie shows - downtown
Maybe you know some little places to go to
Where they never close - downtown
Just listen to the rhythm of a gentle bossa nova
You'll be dancing with him too before the night is over
Happy again
The lights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares
So go downtown, where all the lights are bright
Downtown - waiting for you tonight
Downtown - you're gonna be all right now
And you may find somebody kind to help and understand you
Someone who is just like you and needs a gentle hand to
Guide them along
So maybe I'll see you there
We can forget all our troubles, forget all our cares
So go downtown, things'll be great when you're
Downtown - don't wait a minute for
Downtown - everything's waiting for you

Jólakötturinn

Þið kannizt við jólaköttinn
- sá köttur var griðarstór
Fólk vissi'ekki hvaðan hann kom
eða hvert hann fór

Hann glennti upp glyrnurnar sinar
glóandi báðar tvær
Það var ekki heiglum hent
að horfa í þær

Kamparnir beittir sem broddar
upp úr bakinu kryppna há
og klærnar à loðinni löpp
var ljótt að sjá

Því var það, að konurnar kepptust
við kamba og vefstól og rokk
og prjónuðu litfagran lepp
eða lítin sokk

Þvi kötturinn mátti' ekki koma
og krækja í börnin smá
Þau urðu að fásína flík
þeim fullorðnu hjá

Og er kveikt var á jólakvöldið
og kötturin gægðist inn
stóðu börnin bísperrt og rjóð
með böggulinn sinn

Hann veifaði stélinu sterka
hann stökk og hann klóraði' og blés
og var ýmist uppi í dal
eða úti' um nes

Hann sveimaði, soltinn og grimmur
í sárköldum jólasnæ
og vakti í hjörtunum hroll
á hverjum bæ

Ef mjálmað var aumlega úti
var ólukkan samstundis vís
Allir vissu' að hann veiddi menn
en vildi ekki mýs

Hann lagðist á fátæka fólkið
sem fékk enga nýja spjör
fyrir jólin - og baslaði og bjó
við bágust kjör

Frá því tók hann ætið í einu
allan þess jólamat
og át það svo oftast nær sjálft
ef hann gat

Því var það, að konurnar kepptust
við kamba og vefstól og rokk
og prjónuðu litfagran lepp
eða lítin sokk

Sum höfðe fengið svuntu
og sum höfðu fengið skó
eða eitthvað, sem þótti þarft
en þad var nóg

Þvi kisa máti' engan eta
sem einhverja flíkina hlaut
Hún hvæsti þá heldur ljót
og hljóp á braut

Hvort enn er hún til, veit ég ekki
en aum yrði hennar för
ef allir eignuðust næst
einhverja spjör

Þið hafið nú kannske í huga
að hjálpa, ef þörf verður á
máske enn finnist einhver börn
sem ekkert fá

Máske, að leitin að þeim sem líða
af ljósskorti heims um ból
gefi ykkur góðan dag
og gleðileg jól The Christmas Cat
You know the christmas cat
- that cat is very large
We dont know where he came from
nor where he has gone

He opened his eyes widely
glowing both of them
it was not for cowards
to look into them

His hair sharp as needles
his back was high and bulgy
and claws on his hairy paw
were not a pretty sight

Therefore the women competed
to rock and sow and spin
and knitted colorful clothes
or one little sock

For the cat could not come
and get the little children
they had to get new clothes
from the grownups

When christmas eve was lighted
and the cat looked inside
the children stood straight and red-cheeked
with their presents

He waved his strong tail
he jumped, scratched and blew
and was either in the valley
or out on the headland

He walked about, hungry and mean
in hurtfully cold christmas snow
and kindled the hearts with fear
in every town

If outside one heard a weak "meaow"
then unluck was sure to happen
all knew he hunted men
and didnt want mice

He followed the poorer people
who didnt get any new clothing
near christmas - and tried and lived
in poorest conditions

From them he took at the same time
all their christmas food
and ate them also themselves
if he could

Therefore the women competed
to rock and sow and spin
and knitted colorful clothes
or one little sock

Some had gotten an apron
and some had got a new shoe
or anything that was needful
but that was enough

For pussy should not eat no-one
who got some new piece of clothes
She hissed with her ugly voice
and ran away

If she still exists I dont know
but for nothing would be his trip
if everybody would get next christmas
some new rag

You may want to keep it in mind
to help if there is need
for somewhere there might be children
who get nothing at all

Mayhaps that looking for those who suffer
from lack of plentiful lights
will give you a happy season
and merry christmas

Verandi

Hafandi eyrað í vasanum
Hafandi augun í skónum
Ástarbréf í maganum
Vönd af kossum í munninum
Kyrr!

Hafandi haf af girnd
Hafandi loðna löngun um mjaðmirnar
Hafandi sjón sem að sér þegar það er slökkt
Og gott bil milli fótanna
Kyrr!
Having the ear in the pocket
Having the eye in the shoe
Loveletters in the stomach
Bouquet of kisses in the mouth
Calm down!

Having an ocean of desire
Having a hairy desire around the hips
Having eyes that can see in the dark
And too much space between the legs
Calm down!
