För ganska många år sedan så var jag leadsångare, gitarrist och låtskrivare i Malmöbandet The Shakedowns. Bandet finns tyvärr inte längre men låtarna och musiken finns fortfarande att lyssna på på Myspace och Spotify. Så därför tänkte jag dela med mig av de låtar som finns att lyssna på, genom att skriva ner texterna här på min blogg. Men gitarrackorden och vårt eminenta finlir får du banne mig själv sitta och ta ut :D
Friend of Mine (Text Joakim Permbo)
Intro
Vers 1
All that you are is all you can give
But now you're givin' me a hard time
Lay your arms around the one you need
And the truth will break this little heart of mine
Oh my hands are tied, to the train that I ride
Refr
Love is a strange friend of mine
Love is a strange friend of mine
Vers 2
Sometimes a dream goes further than it seems
I guess I woke up somewhere in between
Old as a memory and cold as a stone
Love is a strange friend of mine
Oh my hands are tied, to the train that I ride
Refr
Love is a strange friend of mine
Love is a strange friend of mine
Love is a strange friend of mine
Love is a strange friend of mine
Stick
I know you and you know me
We got much to give but we don't know how to bring it out
Love is a strange friend of mine
Love is a strange friend of mine
Solo
Oh my hands are tied, to the train that I ride
Refr
Love is a strange friend of mine
Love is a strange friend of mine
Outro
Springtime (Text Joakim Permbo)
Into
Vers 1
Woke up this morning
I heard the song of a nigthingale
Springtime is here it's the time you make a change
Talkin' about you and me
Vers 2
All this fussing and fighting
Cold nights
On a highway without a destination
And a long way from home
It's all gone
Refr
It's gonna be alright this time
It's a better start this time
Having you on my mind since the day you left
Set me free
Vers 3
The dark cloud is gone
And I'm high on the nightingale's song
Springtime is here it's a time you make a change
Talkin' about you and me
Refr
It's gonna be alright this time
It's a better start this time
Having you on my mind since the day you left
Set me free
Solo
Outro
Emergency exit (Text Joakim Permbo & Henrik Jensen Pässler)
Vers 1
There's a place in my mind where I go to
When there's no place else for me
It's in between my memories and dreams
And it's permanently open for me
Vers 2
There's a waitress who's always working
Twenty four hours a day
She pulls me together and takes care of me
In her own special way
Stick
The place is always crowded
Packed with people I know
And they all know the meaning of being alone
And they all found this place to go
Refr
When everything comes tumbling down
I need to feel the ground
When I realise I'm not ok
I go where I can't be found
Vers 3
I'm not the only one
Who needs a place to call my own
Somewhere to go when the rain falls
And you don't feel like holding low
Stick
The place is always crowded
Packed with people I know
And they all know the meaning of being alone
And they all found this place to go
Refr
When everything comes tumbling down
I need to feel the ground
When I realise I'm not ok
I go where I can't be found
Stick 2
It may seem like I'm all alone
It may seem like I'm all messed up
But there's a thing that you just don't know
I got a key to my own Emergency exit
Refr
When everything comes tumbling down
I need to feel the ground
When I realise I'm not ok
I go where I can't be found
