Album: Goodnight Oslo (2009)

  • She came out of the past
    Gliding through the mirror
    From ashtrays, turntables and body hair
    She came out on the nose
    The trains had all stopped running
    They had froze
    But I've got special powers
    That render me invisible
    To everyone but you

    And so delicious floes
    So easy from the clouds
    In Sunday morning Oslo time
    You fade into the crowd
    Don't go to heaven by yourself
    You need a mission and a friend
    I'm promising you soul to soul to soul
    It never ends

    It's just Norwegian speed
    And Norway makes the world go round
    Like you go round in circles
    All the time
    Goodnight Oslo

    Harold Skrindo said
    Go out to Vigeland
    See the bodies
    Climb each other to the sky
    To the sky

    You leave the Stray Hotel
    And find a place to smoke
    A house that has no walls
    Or memories at all
    You're listening to her
    Still broadcasting inside
    But you can walk out
    Any time
    Goodnight Oslo
    Goodnight Oslo
    Goodnight Oslo

    It's just Norwegian speed
    From Tromso down to Kirstiansand
    They're waiting for the dark
    That never comes Writer/s: Robyn Hitchcock
    Publisher: BMG Rights Management
