LYRICS:
-------------------------------------------------------
The flashing light is indicating error, error
A wave of fear, a rumbling of terror, terror
Push the button, summon the repairer, repairer
The technician!

Arriving on the scene
Resequencing the gene
Talking to the machine
With a list of simple rules
And a tidy bag of tools
Who will save the helpless fools?
Who will save them? Who will save them?
The technician.

As the only unit who is fit to, fit to
The technician has identified the issue, issue
The virus is in the soft tissue, tissue
The technician!

There’s a bump in the road
There’s a bug in the code
A system overload
There’s a fly in the soup
A redirection loop
There’s a dupe within the group
Who will save them, who will save them?
The technician.

The mechanical voice repeating warning, warning
The broken beings all aborning, ‘borning
This cannot wait until the morning, morning
The technician!

With a flinging of the dung
And a twisting of the tongue
The ladder skips a rung
The clock has slipped a gear
With the deadline drawing near
Have no worries, know no fear
Who will save us? WHO WILL SAVE US?
The technician.

LYRICS

Kept on walking straight ahead
There was no-one round they'd gone to bed
They were not sleeping
They worried 'bout the things
They could not change

The Governments just would not help
Just told us tighten up your belt
Another notch or two
But we know that we'll get through

ooooh la la la la
ooooh la la la la

My shoes were worn
And full of holes
I could touch the pavement through the soles
One good shirt and one good vest
Now no-one had a Sunday best

Churches empty no-one prayed
Everyone just seemed afraid
They'd meet God soon enough
They've got things oh so rough

Ooooh la la la la
Ooooh la la la la

Looted shops and broken glass
The lifestyle of the working class
But no-one worked there were no jobs
And factories had turned to rust
And rival gangs patrolled the streets
Would kill each other when they meet

Instrumental

Food was rationed just enough
And any dreams had turned to dust
But lords and ladies dined so well
They had no idea of this hell

I kept on walking straight ahead
There was no-one around they'd gone to bed
But they were not sleeping
They worried 'bout the things
They could not change

Ooooh la la la la
Ooooh la la la la


Outro

Things They Could Not Change Change

The final track of the album.  Technically might be the first song I ever wrote, if you count a couple fingerpicked guitar riffs to be a song.  Also not counting, of course, the many hours of random unfinished things I recorded on cassette tapes prior to this.

Faded Dreams

Dear friends, spring is a wonderful time, not only for people but also for animals. We have a tradition in Sweden where you let the cows out in the meadows and it's a big spectacle and lots of people come there to watch the cows' adventures! We call it ”ko-släpp” (maybe cow-release in English). WOW!

A Lovely Day in Spring

This is a lovely day in spring
the people get undressed
they are waiting for the summer this year
but patient they must be
all the boys and the girls are preparing themselves
to meet summertime every year that comes

It is a lovely spectacle
when they let all the cows out
all the cows are jumping up and down on the grass
and probably they smile
all the cowboys and the cowgirls are preparing themselves
to meet summertime every year that comes

The old man put on his summer cap
and his wife does the same
he has a bald spot on the top of his head
and his wife has a delicate nose
all the oldboys and the oldgirls are preparing themselves
to meet summertime every year that comes
