《Waiting for Kirsten》歌词

[00:00:00] Waiting for Kirsten - Jens Lekman

[00:00:16] We were waiting for Kirsten me and Joel

[00:00:20] 'Cause we found out the name of her hotel

[00:00:23] With the folköl and an evening paper

[00:00:27] In which she spelled out my name letter by letter

[00:00:40] Well I grew up outside this city

[00:00:43] Where the local Estrella chips factory

[00:00:47] Had paved the way to your grave and to your destiny

[00:00:51] So what can a suburban boy like me do

[00:00:53] When she mentions me

[00:00:59] Except compromise a portion of his dignity

[00:01:03] Another club another beer another hour --

[00:01:07] Squint at the clock up at the church tower

[00:01:11] "What she's doing here you think "

[00:01:13] "I heard she's filming with von Trier "

[00:01:15] "Hey Klara how's your night

[00:01:17] Did you know about Kirsten Have you seen her "

[00:01:20] She says:"Yeah she was here

[00:01:22] But she was turned away at the door "

[00:01:27] I know I know I can't believe no one told her before

[00:01:31] That in Gothenburg we don't have VIP lines

[00:01:35] In Gothenburg we don't make a fuss about who you are

[00:01:40] In Gothenburg we don't have VIP lines

[00:01:43] But then I bit my tongue

[00:01:45] And the taste of blood was so strong

[00:01:52] 'Cause times are changing Kirsten:

[00:01:56] Göta Älv is slowly reversing;

[00:01:59] They turned a youth-center into a casino;

[00:02:03] They drew a swastika in your cappuccino

[00:02:07] And the VIP lines are not to the clubs

[00:02:11] But to healthcare apartments and jobs

[00:02:15] "Hey buddy can I borrow five grand

[00:02:19] 'Cause my dad's in chemo

[00:02:22] And they wanna take him off his plan "

[00:02:27] I said in Gothenburg we don't have VIP lines

[00:02:31] I said in Gothenburg you're not worth less

[00:02:34] And you're not worth any more

[00:02:35] I said in Gothenburg we don't have VIP lines

[00:02:39] But then I bit my tongue

[00:02:41] And the taste of blood was so strong

[00:03:04] At the end of the night me and Joel

[00:03:08] Went back and sat outside her hotel

[00:03:11] And drank beer after beer 'til the sun came up

[00:03:15] And since she didn't show up

[00:03:17] Joel said I had to man up

[00:03:19] And write a note of affection

[00:03:21] And leave it in the reception

[00:03:23] And I wrote this confession

[00:03:25] With the lipstick from his girlfriend

[00:03:27] On the back of our receipt

[00:03:32] But the receptionist said I was drunk

[00:03:36] And asked me to leave
