Jens Lekman The Cold Swedish Winter

I met her in a snowstorm I was outdoor plowing
She just walked up to me and said Hey boy how's it going?
I admire her straightforwardness and brushed away my French
As a signal of well being and excepting her challenge

We went home to her place and cooked up some chili
Wormed us from the inside 'cause the outside was chilling
We had to be quiet to not wake up her family
But I made a highpitchsound when her cold fingers touched me

She said
Schh, please be quiet
I know you don't want to but please deny it
She said
Schh, please be quiet
I know you don't want to but please deny it

When people think of Sweden I think they have the wrong idea
Like Cliff Richards who though it was just poring gonorrhea
And Lou Reed said in film blue in the face
That compare to New York City Sweden was a scary place
They seem to have a point after meeting with this girl
Maybe not Cliff Richards but Lou had surely met her
The doubt in her eyes when I said I wanted to kiss her
For the sake of liking her not because of the blizzard

She said
Schh, please be quiet
I know you don't want to but please deny it
She said
Schh, please be quiet
I know you don't want to but please deny it

'Cause the cold Swedish winter is right outside
And I just want somebody to hold me through the night
The cold Swedish winter is right outside
And I just want somebody to hold me through the night

In 2000 years this place will be covered by ice
And the people who dig us up will be in for a big surprise
When they're carefully studying our calcium Nordic bones
They will find them closed, our hearts of stone
Singing that

The cold Swedish winter is right outside
And I just want somebody to hold me through the night
The cold Swedish winter is right outside
And I just want somebody to hold me through the night
