I Stockholm [English translation]

It reeks from a urinal

and I hear how some people talking:

"I love my meaningless life"

How is your life"

And somebody answers: "I'm happy to live in Stockholm"

And a mean critic

stands and picks at some finger food

and waves with a beer ticket

and says this is rock

I am in Stockholm

Mr Andersoon has drowned

in a sea of café au lait

He is continental and original

He is pitiful, but chosen

to search for himself

That's how it goes

here in Stockholm

Here you great the bouncers on Stureplan

He is the man the whole day

in this city

Here you have good taste and money left

It reeks from a urinal

Here you meet at some approved Sushi bar

Here in Stockholm

Here everybody are equally abandoned

Lonely, poor us

Here you don't go around and pop in for a visit

you have to call first

you have to make an appointment

you have to hurry up

you have to shape up

you have to get in

in Stockholm

It reeks from a urinal

There's somebody who fell asleep there

It's probably somebody who lives there

He who wanders around in the subway

He is a part of the atmosphere

It's nice to be in the middle of it

It's nice to feel the pulse

It's nice to live

in Stockholm
