The apocalypse is over
Detta måste vara den finaste låten jag hört på länge. Och efter att ha sett The Ark live fick den ju helt annan betydelse. Det känns verkligen att det här är "extranumret", The Arks avsked. Måste bara lägga in texten. Den är värd att lyssna på!
The Ark - The apocalypse is over
With souls that burned with fire
And an eagerness to stay up late
We set out to win the hearts
Of the outlandish and irate
In our coats of splendid colours
We went from town to town
Leaving young hearts filled with promise
And the venues turned up side down
Now we’re standing here together
And it’s time for the encore
So let’s not keep them waiting anymore
Let all the trumpets blow
Give them a hell of a show
Rip it up and let it go
The apocalypse is over
Let the lights explode
Sing the song we all know
Shout it out a little bit more
The apocalypse is over
With the power of zeal and pancake
We rose to rugged fame
In the world of no tomorrow
Everybody knew our name
Well, I don’t know where we were headed
But I know that’s where we are now
And that our holy mission ended
On the way somewhere, somehow
Now we’re standing here together
And the crowd calls out for more
So let’s not keep them waiting anymore
Let all the trumpets blow
Give them a hell of a show
Rip it up and let it go
The apocalypse is over
Let the lights explode
Sing the song we all know
Shout it out a little bit more
The apocalypse is over
Look at us now
I think that we made it somehow
It’s time to move on
The battle is won
The flood is postponed
Let all the trumpets blow
Make it a hell of a show
Rip it up and let it go!
The apocalypse is over
Let the lights explode
Sing the song we all know
Now it is all up to you
The apocalypse is over
And an eagerness to stay up late
We set out to win the hearts
Of the outlandish and irate
In our coats of splendid colours
We went from town to town
Leaving young hearts filled with promise
And the venues turned up side down
Now we’re standing here together
And it’s time for the encore
So let’s not keep them waiting anymore
Let all the trumpets blow
Give them a hell of a show
Rip it up and let it go
The apocalypse is over
Let the lights explode
Sing the song we all know
Shout it out a little bit more
The apocalypse is over
With the power of zeal and pancake
We rose to rugged fame
In the world of no tomorrow
Everybody knew our name
Well, I don’t know where we were headed
But I know that’s where we are now
And that our holy mission ended
On the way somewhere, somehow
Now we’re standing here together
And the crowd calls out for more
So let’s not keep them waiting anymore
Let all the trumpets blow
Give them a hell of a show
Rip it up and let it go
The apocalypse is over
Let the lights explode
Sing the song we all know
Shout it out a little bit more
The apocalypse is over
Look at us now
I think that we made it somehow
It’s time to move on
The battle is won
The flood is postponed
Let all the trumpets blow
Make it a hell of a show
Rip it up and let it go!
The apocalypse is over
Let the lights explode
Sing the song we all know
Now it is all up to you
The apocalypse is over

This is it
Idag skulle Michael Jackson ha haft sin första av de 50 avskedskonserterna som skulle ägt rum i London på o2 Arena. Undrar just hur konsterterna skulle varit. Tror han skulle ha gjort en riktigt bra comeback precis som Elvis Presley gjorde 1968.
Billie Jean
She was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene
I said don't mind, but what do you mean I am the one
Who will dance on the floor in the round
She said I am the one, who will dance on the floor in the round
She told me her name was Billie Jean, as she caused a scene
Then every head turned with eyes that dreamed of being the one
Who will dance on the floor in the round
People always told me be careful of what you do
And don't go around breaking young girls' hearts
And mother always told me be careful of who you love
And be careful of what you do 'cause the lie becomes the truth
Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son
For forty days and for forty nights
The law was on her side
But who can stand when she's in demand
Her schemes and plans
'Cause we danced on the floor in the round
So take my strong advice, just remember to always think twice
(Do think twice)
She told my baby we'd danced till three, then she looked at me
Then showed a photo my baby cried his eyes were like mine (oh, no!)
'Cause we danced on the floor in the round, baby
People always told me be careful of what you do
And don't go around breaking young girls' hearts
She came and stood right by me
Then the smell of sweet perfume
This happened much too soon
She called me to her room
Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son
She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son
Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son
She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son
She says I am the one

En midsommarnattsdröm
Det är verkligen något somrigt över Håkan Hellström.
Johnny var Evas hjärtas låga
Han var solen när det dagas
Han var parken när det våras
och vi satt på gräset
Som växte i takt med himlen
Bengen drog förbi sen
Bengen trålar än
Johnny du och jag borde starta upp ett band
låta det explodera i skyn
Det är svårt att inte gråta
När jag tänker på oss två nu
För du var solskenet
Och jag var ensam
Johnny med amfetaminet
Satte mig i baksätet
Du tog mig på en tur
Radion var på
Kan du digga de e locomotion
För mycket revolution
Johnny jag gillar dig
Du har ett svart moln över dig
och vi red på Malmö city en måndagmorgon
Femton bilar, femton rastlösa truckchaufförer
freakin' doktorer, tjugofem konstaplar i gathörnen
Och du var solskenet
Johnny jag var ensam
Du var solskenet
Johnny jag var ensam
När jag höll på att drunkna
Tänkte jag på dig
Du sa att du ville dö
Du grät bakom dörren
och jag låg under sängen
Jag hörde dig
Eva jag behöver dig
Mer än vad jag vill ha dig
och jag vill ha dig för gamla tiders skull
Du betydde inte allt
Men det blåste aldrig kallt
För du var solskenet
Jag var ensam
Du var alldeles runt hörnet, i kvarteret
Du var alldeles runt hörnet, i kvarteret - Överallt
Audioslave - Be Yourself
Someone falls to pieces sleeping all alone
Someone kills the pain
Spinning in the silence she finally drifts away
Someone gets excited in a chapel yard and catches a boquet
Another lays a dozen white roses on a grave
Yeah
And be yourself is all that you can do
Yeah
To be yourself is all that you can do
Someone finds salvation in everyone
Another only pain
Someone tries to hide himself
Down inside himself he prays
Someone swears his true love until the end of time
Another runs away
Separate or united
Healthy or insane
Yeah
And be yourself is all that you can do
(All that you can do)
Yeah
To be yourself is all that you can do
(All that you can do)
Ooh
To be yourself is all that you can do
(All that you can do)
Yeah
To be yourself is all that you can do
Even when you've paid enough
Been pulled apart or been held up
With every single memory of good or bad
Faces of luck
Don't lose any sleep tonight
I'm sure everything will end up alright
You may win or lose
Someone kills the pain
Spinning in the silence she finally drifts away

Dashboard Confessional - Don't wait
The sky glows.
I see it shining when my eyes close.
I hear your warnings but we both know,
I'm gonna look at it again.
Don't wait,
Don't wait,
The road is now,
A sudden sea, and suddenly,
You're deep enough to lay your armor down,
To lay your armor down,
To lay your armor down.
You get one look.
I'll show you something that the knife took,
A bit too early for my own good.
Now let's not speak of it again.
Don't wait,
Don't wait,
The road is now,
A sudden sea, and suddenly,
You're deep enough to lay your armor down,
To lay your armor down,
To lay your armor down.
