Friska Viljor – On and On: LYRICS

The usual places didn’t help me on this so I did it myself.

Here’s the song:

And here are the lyrics, as transposed by J Miles Esq:

“On and on
and on
and on,

we’ve been doing this
too long.

It’s time to find
another way;

it doesn’t matter
what you say.

plink plunk

On and on
and on
and on,

I wish that this
would soon be gone.

Another Sunday
comes along;

I have to find out
what is wrong!

females:
You would feel much better
if you left this life alone,
I know you’ve
got up and hung the phone up.
Don’t do this to yourself.

Don’t be scared to take a step into the dark unknown.
Are you ready to grow up?
Let’s get ready to grow u-up!
end of females.

You’re
on your own
for a while.

You’ll decide,
for yourself,

what you want
- no-one else -

you’ll be free
to live again.

plink plunk interlude

On and on
and on and on.

The time for brand new things
has come.

It doesn’t matter
what you say,

I’m gonna leave you
anyway.

females:
You will feel much better
now that everything is gone,

you’re-gonna,

feel free to be yourself and
you’ll be much happier.

Don’t be scared of loneliness
it’s what you have embraced.

When you liked it with someone,
when you’ve spent your time alo-one.
end of females.

You’re
on your own

for a while.
You’ll decide,

for yourself,
what
you want

- no
-one else -

you’ll be free
to live again.

~ You’re not alone
We’ll be here.

Solid stones,
by your side.

Put your feet
on our backs,

where you know
we’ll carry you ~ carry you.

plink plunk

We will
carry you.

plink plunk

Carry
you.

plink plunk

We will
carry you.”

Magic In The Air

Love is contagious,
When it’s alright.
Love is contagious,
When it’s alright.
Love is alright.

These simple lines had to be cut from the album version of Magic in the Air by Badly Drawn Boy on his Mercury winning (and one which I personally think he’s never bettered) album, Hour of Bewilderbeast.

When I first got the album, these extra lyrics were printed in the booklet and confused me completely. Was there a hidden verse I wasn’t hearing? Apparently, they were seen as ‘taken’ from another song by hip-hop artist Taja Seville and thus later pressings of the album had an instrumental break in place of these lyrics.

Strange, but here’s the original with end lyrics intact. Not much of a difference, but it does sort of add a more poignant ending to a beautiful song.

MP3 Expired [Buy Hour of Bewilderbeast] (less than a fiver! bargain!)
