Vers 1
Close ends, open eyes,
will help these lies go through again

I know, that you feel, the same as I do

Hold your head up high
and take away the pain

Please don’t kill me now
when the night is about to end

Ref
And even though, I’ve had my doubts on you
we stand together now
looking at the future

Oh, and even the foulest words
it sounds like music in my ears
You must be my angel, baby

Vers 2
Show me hope and light,
and make believe with me

So can you hold me tight
when the day is about to break

Ref
And even though, I’ve had my doubts on you
we stand together now
looking at the future

Oh, and even the foulest words
it sounds like music in my ears
You must be my angel, baby

Brygga
Speedin’ up and down, I will rip it out
What is on you mind? I’m in need of love!
Slow fox, New York groove, I will turn it upside down
Tangerine in my dream
Oh my baby!

Ref
And even though, I’ve had my doubts on you
we stand together now
looking at the future

Oh, and even the foulest words
it sounds like music in my ears
You must be my angel, baby

Lyrics – A man

Vers 1

Do me, do me a favour
Hold me tonight
Hold me this evening

Make me, make me a promise
I’ll be your soldier
I’ll be the one for you tonight

Ref
Do you belive in love?
Do you belive in sacred words?
Do you belive in trust?
Do you belive in me?

Do you belive in love?
Do you belive in holy stories?
Do you belive in life?
Do you belive in me?

Yeah, I don’t want to go
Will you let me stay?
I am just a man, I know that.

Vers 2
Reach me, reach out and touch me
‘Cause I want to feel you
I want to be near you

See me, I want you to see me
I’ll be your soldier
I’ll be the one for you tonight

Ref

Do you belive in love?
Do you belive in sacred words?
Do you belive in trust?
Do you belive in me?

Do you belive in love?
Do you belive in holy stories?
Do you belive in life?
Do you belive in me?

Yeah, I don’t want to go
Will you let me stay?
I am just a man, I know that.

Stick, vers 3

I, I just want to pray, for another day
I just want to find the questions

How, how am I supposed to be?
If only you could see me

This will never end

Do you believe in love?
Do you believe in holy words?
Do you believe in life?
Do you believe in me?

Ref
Do you belive in love?
Do you belive in sacred words?
Do you belive in trust?
Do you belive in me?

Do you belive in love?
Do you belive in holy stories?
Do you belive in life?
Do you belive in me?

Lyrics – Open field

I lay myself on an open field
the time is right, I remove my shield
I close my eyes and I know I’m not alone

Do you wanna know?
Do you wanna see?
Do you wanna know,
what you mean to me?

V2
Your thoughtful mind is the lovely kind
Your words of me, sorrow left behind
The look in your eyes says I’m safe and sound with you

Now, this is real, it’s a dream come true
Lying here only me and you
The wind whispers softly. -”There’s nothing to fear at all”

Do you wanna know?
Do you wanna see?
Do you wanna know,
what you mean to me?

Chorus

Keep holding my life in your hands, believing
There is a meaning, I’ve found it, you’re everything

And if there is a God, he’s smiling with me

Keep holding my life in your hands, believing
There is a meaning, I’ve found it, you’re everything

And if there is a God, he’s smiling for me

Lyrics – Rockers in my head

V 1

Hey! Smarter, brighter. Rockers in my head.
Raving, jumping. I go into my mind.
All that I want and everything I need.
Shaking, screaming and lights are blinking.

Ref
There is most possibly a diagnose for me
‘Cause I have it in my head, have it in my head. Rockers in my head, alright
People singing, music and lights
‘Cause I have it in my head, have it in my head, Rockers in my head, alright

V 2
Hey! Cooler, nicer. Rockers in my head.
Drinking, fighting. Everything seems fun.
All that I want and everything I need.
Wonderful sounds and stroboscope.

Break
Stop now! I need some silence.
To clear my head from these voices.
Shut down! I need some silence.
‘Cause I have it in my head, have it in my head, Rockers in my head, alright!

Ref
There is most possibly a diagnose for me
‘Cause I have it in my head, have it in my head, Rockers in my head alright
People singing, music and lights
‘Cause I have it in my head, have it in my head, Rockers in my head alright

There is most possibly a diagnose for me
‘Cause I have it in my head, have it in my head, Rockers in my head alright
People singing, music and lights
‘Cause I have it in my head, have it in my head, Rockers in my head alright

Changes are coming it’s easy to see
You better find out where you want to be

And now it’s gonna rain, rain down on you
And now it’s gonna rain, rain down on you

Preachers are coming, they´re calling for you
Nothing can help you, you know you´re on your own

And now it’s gonna rain, rain down on you
And now it’s gonna rain, rain down on you

New album ANTICIPATION is out February 27

admin — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 14:48:37 +0000

The new mini-album ANTICIPATION will be available in stores and streaming services on February 27. The album consist of five brand new tracks. “Like a small rock opera about rave, religion and love”, says the record label boss Johan Billing of Electric Fantastic Sound. The band does not disagree.

Album cover by Thomas Berger (BergerBerger)

With this release there is no doubt from where todays electronic popular music derives. ANTICIPATION is heavily influenced by early 80′s synthpop and the warmth and power of the analogue synthesizer.

For the experienced ear and mind there is a possibility to detect more subtle and surprising references. Influences such as the echoes of early Detroit, Manchester greatness and modern dance music in the new world. Scandinavian sense for melodies and punchy beats are essential as always.

“We are very proud. The best Social Ambitions release ever made made… so far.”
