Hackneyed, Baby!

Harmless As A Dove

Monday, May 22, 2006
Since I really don't have anything to do with my life, I felt like I could use this spare time (not really spare time, I'm just a lazy fuck who tends to focus on insignificant shit such as what follows) to write a translation of Kent's brand new song "Nålens Öga" ("The Needle's Eye"). So here you go, kids, and remember this will contain some mistakes, but you'll have to live with it:

Kent - The Needle's Eye

Someone is standing in the hallway
breathing smoke
The shadow across the yard
reaches into our kitchen
Here comes the fear, old friend
When all the butterflies in your stomach wakes up
whispering Welcome home

I'm counting; three, four, five
(Lie to me, yeah lie to me)
It's not the punches that hurts
(Lie again)
There's an invisible line
(Lie to me, yeah lie to me)
through the eye of the needle

Someone is standing in the doorway
while listening silently
The shadow across the threshold
reaches into my room
Here comes the fear, again
When all the butterflies gets needled down
to a pattern on my bed

I'm counting; three, four, five
(Lie to me, yeah lie to me)
It's not the punches that hurts
(Lie again)
There's an invisible line
(Lie to me, yeah lie to me)
through the eye of the needle


And a big freaking CONGRATULATIONS to Lordi who won the 51st Eurovision Song Contest this saturday. My campaigning might not have played much of a role in this, but I like to think my ~20 votes mattered a little at least. See you in Hell-sinki!
