The Cardigans

Live and learn

I came home in the morning
And everything was gone
Oh what have I done
I dropped dead in the hallway
Cursing the dawn
Oh come on sun
Why must I burn
I’m just trying to learn

I stared into the light
To kill some of my pain
It was all in vain
Cause no senses remain
But an ache in my body
And regret on my mind
But I’ll be fine

Cause I live and I learn
Yes I live and I learn
If you live you will learn
I live and I learn

Got kicked in the head
So I started a fight
Cause I knew I was right
But I learned I was wrong
I remember a slaughter
I remember I fought
For the money I brought
I got blistered and burned
And lost what I earned

But I live and I learn
Yes I live and I learn

I got, I got it now
She’s got, She’s got it now

I came to on a corner
With some help from a man and goddamn
I don’t seem to have learnt
That a lady in need is guilty indeed
So I paid and got laid in return
And I don’t know what I’ve learned

Well you get what you give
And hell yes I lived
But if you live as you learn
I don’t think I'd be learned
Oh with the sun in my eyes
Surprise, I’m living a life
But I don’t seem to learn
No I don’t think I can learn

My favourite game

I don't know what you're looking for
you haven't found it baby, that's for sure
You rip me up and spread me all around
in the dust of the deed of time

And this is not a case of lust, you see
it's not a matter of you versus of me
It's fine the way you want me on your own
but in the end it's always me alone

And I'm losing my favourite game
you're losing your mind again
I'm losing my baby
losing my favourite game

I only know what I've been working for
another you so I could love you more
I really thought that I could take you there
but my experiment is not getting us anywhere

I had a vision I could turn you right
a stupid mission and a lethal fight
I should have seen it when my hope was new
my heart is black and my body is blue

And I'm losing my favourite game
you're losing your mind again
I'm losing my favourite game
I've tried but you're still the same
I'm losing my baby
you're losing a saviour and a saint

For what it's worth

Hey baby come round
Keep holding me down
And I'll be keeping you up tonight.
The four letter word got stuck in my head
The dirtiest word that I've ever said
It's making me feel alright.
For what it's worth, I love you
And what is worse, I really do
For what it's worth, I'm gonna run run run
'Til the sweetness gets to you
And what is worse I love you!

Hey please baby come back
There'll be no more loving attack
And I'll be keeping it cool tonight.
The four letter word is out of my head
Come on around, get back in my bed
Keep making me feel alright.
For what it's worth, I like you
And what is worse, I really do
Things have been worse
And we had fun fun fun
'Til I said I love you
And what is worse, I really do!

For what it's worth, I love you
And what is worse, I really do

For what it's worth, I love you
And what is worse, I really do

For what it's worth, I love you
And what is worse, I really do

You're the storm

Oh it’s healing bang bang bang
I can hear your canons call
You’ve been aiming at my land
Your hungry hammer’s falling
And if you want me, I’m your country

I’m an angel bored like hell
And you’re a devil meaning well
You steal my lines and you strike me down
Come raise your flag upon me
And if you want me, I’m your country
If you win me I’m forever, oh yeah

Cause you’re the storm that I believe in
And all this peace has been deceiving
I like the sweet life and the silence
But it’s the storm that I believe in

Come and conquer and drop your bombs
Cross my borders and kill the calm
Bear your fangs and burn my wings
I hear bullets singing

And if you want me, I’m your country
If you win me I’m forever, oh yeah

Cause you’re the storm that I believe in
And all this peace has been deceiving
I need some wind to get me sailing
So it’s the storm that I believe in

You fill my heart you keep me breathing
Cause you’re the storm that I believe in
And if you want me I'm your country.
