CALLING OUT YOUR NAME (KLANGKARUSSELL feat MANDO DIAO, 2022)

Oh, I just lost my place in the sun I used to go
Like nowhere else
Something's taking over, a tingle tip to toe
Can't save myself
Hey, will you excuse me? No one told me you'd be
Leaving when the morning comes
I keep calling out your name
I keep calling out your name
Keep calling out your name
I keep calling out your name
Na, na, na, na, eh
Na, na, na, na, eh
Na, na, na, na, eh
Na, na, na, na, eh
I'm dreaming 'bout the break-up every time I wake up
I'm on my own
Two doors down to laughing, to drinking wild and dancing
But you should know
Nothing's gonna stop me, darling you know I'll be
Singing till you come back home
I keep calling out your name
I keep calling out your name
Keep calling out your name
I keep calling out your name
Na, na, na, na, eh
Na, na, na, na, eh
Na, na, na, na, eh
Na, na, na, na, eh
Na, na, na, na, eh
Na, na, na, na, eh
Na, na, na, na, eh
Na, na, na, na, eh
Baby, come back home (na, na, na, na, eh)
Save me, come back home (na, na, na, eh)
I need your love, come back home (na, na, na, na, eh)
So tell me, come back home (na, na, na, na, eh)
I keep calling out your name (baby, come back home, save me come back home)
I keep calling out your name (I need your love, come back home)
Keep calling out your name (baby, come back home, same me come back home)
I keep calling out your name (I need your love, come back home)
I keep calling out your name (baby, come back home, save me come back home)
I keep calling out your name (I need your love, come back home)
Keep calling out your name (baby, come back home, same me come back home)
I keep calling out your name (I need your love, come back home)

VÄGEN HEM (2022)

Mando Diao - Samlade verk på svenska

Björn Dixgård/Jens Siverstedt/Karin Boye

 

Jag vet en väg som leder hem

Den vägen är zung att gå

Vandraren där blir en fattig man

Och liten och ful och grå

 

Jag vet en väg som leder hem

Den vägen är kal och ren

Den är som att luta sin varma kind

Mot obarmhärtig sten

 

Jag vet en väg som leder hem

Den vägen är tung att gå

Jag vet en väg som leder hem

Den vägen är kal och ren

 

Men den som känt den stenen

Mot kindens kalla blod

Skall märka hur mild dess hårdhet är

Hur trogen och fast och god

 

Och han skall tacka stenen

Och hålla der hårda kärt

Och prisa det enda kämpa-spel

Som var sin seger värt

 

Jag vet en väg som leder hem

Den vägen är tung att gå

Jag vet en väg som leder hem

den vägen är kal och ren

 

SJUNGEN HOPPFULLT SåNGER (2022)

Mando Diao - Samlade verk på svenska

Björn Dixgård/Gustaf Fröding

 

Sjungen hoppfullt sånger

Ej om kval och nöd

Jag vill slå min ånger

Mig till fota död

 

Är en tron art hinna

Än min själ för feg

Ska jag välde vinna

Kanske steg för steg

 

Och om tusen gånger

Jag på fall blir bragt

Ska jag dock min ånger

Bryta ned med makt

 

Ty min ånger väcker

Lust på nytt att slå

Och min pina släcker

Inte din ändå

VI LEVER NU (2020)

Mörkret fylker gatorna och fågelsången tyst men jag hör andetag
Hjärtat slår jag andas in och stannar upp för dom som går I skuggorna
Följa bäkckens dunkla sorl, ta min hand vi börjar go mot stjärnfall, mot stjärnfall

Tiden är vår och vi lever nu
Väntan är svår men vi lever nu
Vi lever nu,ta mig hem, ta mig hem

Räknar drömmar, räknar dagar glömmer bort den ensamhet som plågar oss
Jag finner mig på knä och hör klockas sista slag, den slår för oss
Kväver mörkrets tunga kraft med ljus från den galax som vi vandrar mot,vi vandrar mot

Tiden är vår och vi lever nu

Väntan är svår men vi lever nu
Vi lever nu,ta mig hem, ta mig hem

EN VÄNLIG GÖNSKAS RIKA DRÄKT (Good Harvest&Björn Dixgård 2020)

En vänlig grönskas rika dräkt har smyckat dal och ängar.
Nu smeker vindens ljumma fläkt de fagra örtesängar.
Och solens ljus och lundens sus
Och vågens sorl bland viden förkunna sommartiden.

Sin lycka och sin sommarro de yra fåglar prisa.
Ur skogens snår, ur stilla bo framklingar deras visa.
En hymn går opp med fröjd och hopp från deras glada kväden
Från blommorna och träden.

Giv, att jag aktar främst ditt ord och dina nådesunder.
Allt kött är hö och blomstren dö och tiden allt fördriver,
Blott Herrens ord förbliver.

Allt kött är hö. Allt flyktar här, och snart förvissnar gräsen.
Hos dig allena, Herre, är ett oförgängligt väsen.
Sin ande giv det nya liv, som aldrig skall förblomma
Fast äng och fält står tomma.

Då må förblekna sommarns glans och vissna allt fåfängligt:
Min vän är min och jag är hans, vårt band är oförgängligt.
I paradis han, god och vis, mig sist skall omplantera,
Där intet vissnar mera.

SLEEPING MY DAY AWAY (D-A-D) SVT 2020

Mumbling: "Good morning"
And raising my head
A bad breath kiss to my pillow pet
I take a look at the day turns & stay in bed

Open my eyes when the day have died
I turned the world and I slept allright
Now my daymare is over, I zip my jeans tight
Oh lord won't you bless this night

From the pale lips of a youth who lay:
"I'm sleeping my day away"
And when the night comes to the city I say:
"I'm sleeping my day away"
Yeah, with my pale lips in the pillow I say:
"I'm sleeping my day away"
After dark is the game I play
I'm sleeping my day...
I'm sleeping my day away


When my dreams begin
I'd be proud to be letting you in
With a smile on my face
I guide our dreamboat in

So if you wanna travel along with me
You better sleep tight the rest of the day
You see I could be a sleeper, it's not rest I lack
'Coz I hit the sack when the suns coming back

From the pale lips of a youth who lay:
"I'm sleeping my day away"
And when the night comes to the city I say:
"I'm sleeping my day away"
Yeah, with my pale lips in the pillow I say:
"I'm sleeping my day away"
That after dark is the game I play
I'm sleeping my day...
I'm sleeping my day...
I'm sleeping my day away

I'm sleeping my day...
I'm sleeping my day...
I'm sleeping my day away

I'm sleeping my day away
Yeah. now I've turned the world around
Yeah, I did it again
I'm sleeping my day away
And now I have to wear my shades down sleeper's lane
I'm sleeping my day away
Yeah, all the good people have gone to bed again
I'm sleeping my day away
Because the devil's at work inside my brain
I'm sleeping my day away
I'm sleeping my day...
I'm sleeping my day away
I'm sleeping my day away, away...

LEAVE NO TRACE (2015)

 

Låt Östersjön Leva / Aquilo Kayaks - Mando Diao

https://vimeo.com/122620683

why don´t we sail away - leave no trace behind you 
like the sun fades away - leave no trace behind you 
as the sky shed a tear - we go chase the rainbow 
we shall see we shall find - leave no trace behind

birds are flying high they dont know my sorrow

singing anyway - far is where you go

people passing by shadow after shadow

will they ever know -cfar away is where we go

why don´t we sail away - leave no trace behind you 
like the sun fades away - leave no trace behind you 
as a sky shed a tear - we go chase the rainbow 
we shall see - we shall find - leave no trace behind

FALUN 2015 - LOVE LAST FOREVER

 

Losing our minds gotta take the other side

Stay there while we´re on the run

Hiding from our lives we cling to good old times

When silence was our only word

Oh my hate is gone it won´t be back for more

So i keep singing my blue eyed soul

I kneel down on the ground and i call upon the time

Where everyone is seen and heard

 

Oh love last forever last forever

Forever in our seweetest dream

Love last forever last forever

Forever in our seweetest dream

 

Fly on little pidgeon over troublesome sea

I´ll be on the other side

Waiting forever heart full of hope

Oceans in my eyes

Oh my hate is gone it won´t be back for more

And i keep singing my blue eyed soul

I´m waiting alone with snowfall above and all that i know is

My love last forever

My love last forever

Forever

 

Love last forever last forever

Forever in our seweetest dream

Love last forever last forever

Forever in our seweetest dream

Oh love last forever last forever

Forever in our sweetest dream

Love last forever last forever

Forever in our sweetest dream

Our love last forever

Our love last forever

CHRISTMAS COULD HAVE BEEN GOOD

Dixgård/Norén © 2011 Universal

You´re feeling down
And there´s no one around who can see
Why you keep your head up high
Little sister´s running around with candy

And you don´t
Wanna suffer your pride so you shut up
While your mommy's crying loud
Daddy´s decorating the wall
And the christmas tree

It's the worst of days
So you lay down in your bed

And oh, Christmas could have been good
Oh, Christmas could have been good
It´s a shame what you have with your family affair but still
Christmas could have been good
Oh, Christmas could have been good
Was a dream that you had but a dream that has passed away

Your house was made 
Of blood and tears you wanna pray 
From the opera
But you got no money to escape
From tragedy

Bad luck girl
Your daddy´s here again he´s got his anger
and way too drunk to speak
So he can't understand your misery at all

It's the worst of days
And we hope that he fades away

But oh, Christmas could have been good
Oh, Christmas could have been good
It´s a shame that we have with a family affairs but still

Christmas could have been good
Oh, Christmas could have been good
And the dream that we had was a dream but the worst of days

AN ANSWER

 

And I feel I feel the odd ones
And I see that they are wrong
Cause in my head it`s warning something
And if you could see what I have done

Oh, I bet you would be dissappointed
Cause what I see is something wrong
And in my head it`s warning something
And if you could see what I have done

I try to kill but nothing`s happen
Try to run to nothing man
Cause in my head is warning something
And if you could see what I have done

Oh, I bet you would be disappointed
Cause what I see is something wrong
And in my head it´s warning something
And if you could see what I have done

It's my woman 4x

And I feel I feel the odd ones
And I see that they are wrong
Cause in my head it`s warning something
And if you could see what I have done

It's my woman 4x

BLEEKER STREET

 

Fog's rollin' in off the East River bank
Like a shroud it covers Bleeker Street
Fills the alleys where men sleep
Hides the shepherd from the sheep

Voices leaking from a sad cafe
Smiling faces try to understand
I saw a shadow touch a shadow's hand
On Bleeker Street

A poet reads his crooked rhyme
Holy, holy is his sacrament
Thirty dollars pays your rent
On Bleeker Street

I heard a church bell softly chime
In a melody sustaining
It's a long road to Caanan
On Bleeker Street
Bleeker Street

CALIGULA AND CAESAR

 

It's a big old party and you're coming with a cock in your hand 
They got dreams and love but they don't ever fuck in the sand

And Caligula and Caesar are invited
They sure want you
But they don't want you excited.

It's a quiet old tune but the band keeps playing it loud 
You've got your trousers down and you're showing your dick to the crowd

And Caligula and Caesar are invited
They sure want you
But they don't want you excited

CHRISTMAS COULD HAVE BEEN GOOD (1ST VERSION)

 

You´re feeling down

And there´s no one around at your home

Where you keep your head up high

Little sister´s running around with candy

 

And you don´t 

Wanna suffer your pride so you shut up

While your mommy is buying ham

Daddy´s decorating the hall with some green old trees

 

And it was easy said                  

To get your sister and you to bed


And oh, Christmas could have been good

Oh, Christmas could have been good

It´s a shame that you have with a family affair but still

 

Your house is made

Of blood and tears you wanna pray

From the opera

But you got no money on the bank

Bad luck boy your daddy´s here again he´s got a cd

With a music on

And he won´t see your anger at all

 

But it was easy said

To get your sister and you to bed


But oh, Christmas could have been good

Oh, Christmas could have been good

It´s a shame that you have with a family affair but still

 

Christmas could have been good

Oh, Christmas could have been good

It´s a shame that you have with a family affair but still

It could have been good

LEAVE ME BE

(The Zombies)

If it seems that I'm too quiet

That's 'cause I'm missin' her

My mind tells me I have to fight

But I can't help missin' her

 

You'd better leave me alone, you'd better leave me alone

Until I can think about her without feelin' sorry for myself

You'd better leave me be till I don't need her anymore

I don't wanna see her again until I'm sure I'm over her


But still feeling tired and wanting

Is not like I thought it would be

Love just cannot end at parting

My world's dropped from under me


You'd better leave me alone, you'd better leave me alone

Until I can think about her without feelin' sorry for myself

You'd better leave me be till I don't need her anymore

I don't wanna see her again until I'm sure I'm over her


Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh


MAJOR BABY

 

Major baby, she's the one with a pen 
Writing pieces of papers for me and 
She is down when her parents are 
In the evening she calls me and I'm picking her up

And she says, "You're my favourite guy 
Just wanna be with you"
And she says, "You are the one with fire 
But I know that soon I will wake up and cry"

Still on my money, give my soldier the book 
Shave my legs, make them laughing at me 
Her love is deep, her mind is for sure 
And she's standing now knocking at my back door

And she says, "You're my favourite guy 
Just wanna be with you" 
And she says, "You're the one with fire 
But I know that soon I will wake up and cry"

lalalalala...

and she says: "you're my favourite guy" 
just wanna be with you 
and she says: "you're the one with fire" 
but I know that soon I will wake up and cry

MAMA YOU´VE BEEN ON MY MIND

(Jeff Buckley)
 
Perhaps it is the color of the sun cut flat
An' cov'rin' the crossroads I'm standing at,
Or maybe it's the weather or something like that,
But mama, you been on my mind.

I mean no trouble, please don't put me down, don’t get upset,
I am not pleading or saying that "I can't forget you."
I do not pace the floor bowed down and bent, but yet,
Mama, you been on my mind.

Even though my eyes are hazy and my thoughts they might be narrow,
Where you been don't bother me or bring me down in sorrow.
I don't even mind who you'll be waking with tomorrow,
But mama, you're just on my mind.

I am not askin' you to say words like "yes" or "no,"
Please understand me, I have no place I’m callin’ you to go.
I'm just whispering to myself so I can't pretend that I don't know,
But mama, you're just on my mind.

When you wake up in the mornin' and look inside your mirror,
You know I won't be next to you, you know I won't be near.
I'd just be curious to know if you can see yourself as clear
As someone who has had you on his mind.
 

SUFFER PAIN AND PITY

 

Saw you climbing up that tree 
Was she looking for some action those shiny candid apples 
Was your feeling insecure you come hold my neck for some time 
I don´t mind you wasting me 
I don´t mind you try that scene

Can you see that swinging grass 
Can you feel it tickle your foot bringing you joy, and 
All the things we planned to do drink some tennis on the table 
Baby if it takes you well 
Maybe I can make you well

Suffer, pain and pity 
It makes me feel dizzy 
Shooting on the red balloon 
The good old boys drink bourbon 
I drink brew

All these talks about 
And all these thoughts about 
That there´s no use in falling down 
The cheaper girls drink whiskey
You drink wine

Dedicate my song to you 
I´m a dreadful little dandy tell me why 
Got some kicks from younger girls got a dream for you and me 
To end it´s hard to be 
To end my misery 

Every mistake I´ve made 
Through this foogy bit of landscape though it´s your area 
All those dreams you´ve crushed for me all those pretty little pictures 
About tearing those dudes apart 
And marry my sweetheart

Suffer, pain and pity 
It makes me feel dizzy 
Shooting on the red balloon 
The good old boys drink bourbon
I drink brew

All these talks about 
And all these thoughts about 
That there´s no use in falling down 
The cheaper girls drink whiskey 
You drink wine

Saw you climbing up that tree 
Was she looking for some action those shiny candid apples 
Was your feeling insecure hold my neck for some time 
I don`t mind you wasting me 
I don't mind you to try that scene

Pointing with my fingers 
Aiming at those singers 
Showing me my reflection 
The bible boys drink soda, I drink wine

Suffer, pain and pity 
It makes me feel dizzy 
Shooting on the red balloon 
The good old boys drink bourbon
I drink brew 
The good old boys drink bourbon
I drink brew

SURREAL DREAM

 
 
I, I’m glad to know my time is right
I’ve had it all before 
We’ll we hoping every day for peace 
You’ve heard it all before 

We’ll celebrate this one day 
Someday we’ll go home 
Surreal dream will take you one mile 
Slipping trip well I know 

Giving you another cup of coffee 
Giving you another cup of tee 
I’ve giving you another cup of surreal 
Giving you another cup of me 

Well I’m giving you another cup of coffee 
I offer you another cigarette 
Giving you another cup of surreal 
The surreal dream you haven’t seen it yet 
But I know I’ve had it all before 

I, I offer her the same old trip 
She’s done it all before 
We’ll we one day like the same pair of shoes 
You wear them all before 

So we’ll take this glass of pain 
And on our way back home 
Surreal dream will take you on mile 
Slipping trip well I know 

I’m giving you another cup of coffee 
I’ve giving you another cup of tee 
I’ve giving you another cup of notion 
I’ve giving you another cup of me 

Well I’m giving you another cup of coffee 
I offer you another cigarette 
Giving you another cup of surreal 
The surreal dream you haven’t seen it yet 
But I know you’ve had it all before 
Well I know you’ve had it all before.
 

UNDERDOG

(Sly&The Family Stone)

Hey, dig

I know how it feels to be expect to get a fair shake
But they won't let you forget
That you're the underdog and you've got to be twice as good
(Yeah, yeah)

Even if you're never right
They get uptight when you get too bright
'Cause you might start thinking too much, yeah
(Yeah, yeah)

I know how it feels when you know you're real
But every other time
You get up, you get a raw deal, yeah
(Yeah, yeah)

Say, I'm the underdog
I'm the underdog
Say, I'm the underdog
I'm the underdog

I know how it feels to get demoted
When it comes time you got promoted
But you might be movin' up too fast, yeah
(Yeah, yeah)

If you ever loved somebody of a different set
I bet the set didn't let you forget
That it just don't go like that
(Yeah, yeah)

I know how it feels
For people to stop, turn around and stare
Signify a lil' bit of low life, don't rate me, yeah
(Yeah, yeah)
I don't mind

I'm the underdog
No, I can handle it
I'm the underdog
I'm the underdog, yeah
Underdog

Said, I know how it feels to be played upon
See you at the party
But you're really, you're really all alone
They just underestimate me
(Yeah, yeah)

I know how it feels when you're feelin' down
And you wanna come up but you realize
You're in the wrong part of town, yeah
(Yeah, yeah)

I know how it feels to have to go along
With people you don't even know
Simply because there happens to be
A whole lot more of them, yeah
(Yeah, yeah)

Say, I'm the underdog
I'm the underdog
I don't mind, 'cause I can handle it
Underdog, it's gonna be alright
I'm the underdog

FLYING ON THE GROUND IS WRONG

(Buffalo Springfield)

Is my world not falling down
I'm in pieces on the ground
And my eyes aren't open
And I'm standing on my knees
But if crying and holding on
And flying on the ground is wrong
Then I'm sorry to let you down,
But you're from my side of town
And I miss you.

Turn me up or turn me down
Turn me off or turn me round
I wish I could have met you in a place
Where we both belong
But if crying and holding on
And flying on the ground is wrong
Then I'm sorry to let you down,
But you're from my side of town
And I miss you.

Sometimes I feel like I'm just a helpless child
Sometimes I feel like a kid.
But baby, since I have changed
I can't take nothing home.

City lights at a country fair
Never shine but always glare
If I'm bright enough to see you,
You're just to dark to care.
But if crying and holding on
And flying on the ground is wrong
Then I'm sorry to let you down,
But you're from my side of town
And I miss you.

(Buffalo Springfield)

Is my world not falling down
I'm in pieces on the ground
And my eyes aren't open
And I'm standing on my knees
But if crying and holding on
And flying on the ground is wrong
Then I'm sorry to let you down,
But you're from my side of town
And I miss you.

Turn me up or turn me down
Turn me off or turn me round
I wish I could have met you in a place
Where we both belong
But if crying and holding on
And flying on the ground is wrong
Then I'm sorry to let you down,
But you're from my side of town
And I miss you.

Sometimes I feel like I'm just a helpless child
Sometimes I feel like a kid.
But baby, since I have changed
I can't take nothing home.

City lights at a country fair
Never shine but always glare
If I'm bright enough to see you,
You're just to dark to care.
But if crying and holding on
And flying on the ground is wrong
Then I'm sorry to let you down,
But you're from my side of town
And I miss you.
