lyrics

Gothenburg christmas time
People begging in the streets
but you are on my mind
gothenburg christmas night
and all the lights that shine down the avenue
makes the town feel brand new
Makes it feel brand new

now there’s corporate brands in every corner
but don’t you know the coffee tastes more like the 20s
in that old cafe
down by the canal
where the seniors dress up for sunday

but you will never go there again
oh the smells were stronger when
You were 70 and I was ten

Grandma your smell of perfume
give your money to the ones who need it
tell the children to believe in
greater things than spiderman toys
he will not save this world
but we can do it on our own

every time someone dies
a door closes
to a world you knew
and you can never step inside again
the older you get
the more homeless you be

and you, I will never see you again
oh the smells were stronger when
You were 70 and I was ten

And you we will never meet again
but the smells were stronger when
you were 70 and I was ten

Gothenburg christmas time
people begging in the streets

gothenburg christmas night
and all the lights that shine down the avenue
makes the town feel brand new
Makes it feel brand new
