ZGC-lyrics

Here are a few of our lyrics and some notes about how they came to be etc.

Eye Servant


Lyrics inspired by watching the news... Has it ever occurred to you how politicians have a certain way with words, and how, if confronted, they suddenly care enormously for certain issues. Well, it has to me, and the lyrics to this song are about that. Eye Servant is a word by word translation of the Swedish phrase "ögontjänare". I looked it up and found the English translation "time server" - anyway, it´s a person who cares as long as he knows somebody is watching...

Oh, and we are NOT homophobes! (Had to write that. There is bound to be someone stupid enough to believe so after reading the lyrics.)


Today,
I think I´m gonna save the world today
Not that I care that much about it
But it would look good on my resumé
Today,
I´m gonna find the cure for aids today
Make a lot of little faggots happy
In the name of politically correct
Today,
I think I´m gonna run for office
Cause I´m as pretty as a TV-star
And that usually ensures election
Oh my complexion, I´m such a beauty
I´m as pretty as a peach

Today - I´m gonna smash the face of some one in my way, and
Today - I´m gonna tell the world I´m all you need

I hope you want me to, yeah
I know you want me to

Look at me,
I´m a natural before the cameras
More entertaining than Dallas
And with a better voice than Elvis
And I can,
Stand on my head and still clap the rhythm
to the Swedish national anthem
and balance the budget on my nose

Today - etc.

She Likes Horror Movies


I´ve never met a girl who shares my taste in movies. When I was about 14 I started collecting horror movies, and some part of me found great enjoyment in tormenting my poor girlfriends with long sessions of moviewatching. Watch them cringe! Watch them shake with fear! Feel them moving closer and closer to me! Ha ha ha!!
This song is about a reverse scenario - my girlfriend likes horror movies and me...I´m so worried about the effect it has on her imagination. Stupid as it may sound, I had great fun writing it. Enjoy!

I met this girl the other night at a disco
Now she is my girlfriend
There are a lot of things we don´t agree upon
And she... She likes
Yeah, she likes horror movies
I don´t, I think they´re far too creepy

She´s got the shower scene in Psycho
Taped twenty times or more
And it´s followed by some mutilations from
From Beyond and Terror at the Opera
And how gross is that on a scale from one to ten?
I think it´s got a negative influence on her mind

She´s got a meat cleaver under her pillow
When she sleeps at night
And an icepick under the bed - She says it makes her feel safe
They´re to protect her from the killer in the closet
And the half-human monster in the kitchen
But I know, they´re only figments of her imagination

And she´s got the most beautiful eyes you´ve ever seen
But when she stares at the TV-screen
Something changes about her
It´s like she becomes paralyzed and hypnotized
You can´t tear her away from the carnage she´s watching
And how gross is that on a scale from one to ten?
I think it´s got a negative influence on her mind

She likes the dark

The Drunken Politician


This song is about the leader of a certain political party in Sweden. She (Yes, it is a she...who can it be?) has been known to explore bottles with alcoholic content a bit too publicly. In other words, she was superdrunk on a few occasions, and guess what...some journalists had great fun watching her doing all kinds of strange things. The whole story was supressed but it leaked out eventually. This particular party leader also has the nasty habit of acting like the star of some stupid soap on the TV instead of concentrating on politics. It feels like she practically ordered me to write this song about her exploits. Hmmm... What a strange world we live in!

Don´t let my point of view
Distract you from the things you do
I hate to bring this up
But it seems to me, you´ve lost control

La la la la la la la

I feel so alone when I wake up and
You´re not in the paper
Pose for me in bikini baby
I love your stomach-churning style
You are my favorite politician
Cause with you there are no dull moments
Everybody knows that you pee-peed
On the cinema floor now

La la la la la la la la
