Kalle Skum

You take your steps and initiatives
With knowledge about how a business cycle can give a better life
Here lives Kalle Skum in a house with eighteen rooms
The two-luxury-car economy is built on heroin
He stands big and strong on free and private property
Payed in cash with money earned on whoring and drugs
 
And Kalle's little wife is just as cute still
And gracious but slightly nervous and you can understand that
For wealth and power needs safe guarding
In her home, five gorillas always stand ready
But their cute children shall escape the yarn of sin
That can be achieved these days only behind seven lever tumbler locks
 
Where the business community lives, Kalle has his office
He lives the day to please God and Swedish law
For Kalle believes in God and in his ten commands
But down in the city around Sergel square, the devil himself rules
There, you take drugs and fight and stare at us
who have understood to live well off the sense you have got
 

Become like father

This is how it is, my dear little son
that if you want to be as good as your father,
take careful notice of where the wind is blowing from
and be on good terms with those who have the power
 
Then at long last you will reach the goals
that at long last dad reached too
And like dad when he felt sick,
your stomach shall be calmed with Novalucol
 
Man does not get anything given, my son
You have to pay for every step you take
And you grow away from the ideals
And trouserless you will walk with your bottom bare
 
But do like father, and everything will click
And then dad will never be sad
Because if you share the bosses' interests,
you inherit dad's house and his neurosis
 
Swallow your chagrin, forget unfaithfulness and betrayal
Never be sad, dear little son
You will find comfort at the nearest pharmacy
for humiliation, meanness and mockery
 
Then you will become just what dad became
Where dad stepped, you will step there as well
Where the wind is blowing, you will also drift
for the same winds that your dad drifted
 
Swallow your chagrin, take the spoon into your hand
when power treads on your tender toe
You live in a democratic country
where you can choose the way to be tread on
 
Then you will become just what dad became
Where dad stepped, you will step there as well
Where the wind is blowing, you will also drift
for the same winds that your dad drifted
 

Rehabilitation

Good day to you, social inspector
I am an unrehabilitated lad
Please exercise your status and power
to give me some contact with existence
I thank you and bow for two hundred bucks
It will not cure much, I have a feel
But the gesture was friendly, so thank you anyway
And everything you wish for, you can never get
 
Good day to you, you liquor store clerk
From the social services, I have hurried here
I wish to use up my allowance
to the gain of your cash register, to the comfort of my body
I thank you and bow for your fluidum
For brief happiness and delirium
As thanking for your service and practical support
for us consumers of liquid needs
 
Good day to you, you constable and cop
Here you see a guy who you have seen before
Sorry for staining our tidy city
If you know anything better, I will be so glad
I thank you and bow for your assistance
to steadily get me into an ambulance
and haul me hence towards the nearest emergency ward
where they know of my flaws from before
 
Good day again, social inspector

Good day, you tidy entrepreneur
who does business regarding matters of peace
Say, do you have a box to rest inside
that suits my fragile anatomy?
From the bottom of my cirrhosis, I thank you
for the final packaging of splendid veneer
A drunken body with a teetotal soul
now says to everyone his thanks and goodbye!
 

Little Ester

and the harsh lot of loneliness:
For a small sum per month,
we will send by COD
the very latest object
that our firm is marketing
The man's dream about womankind
without all the things that disturb
Always alert is little Ester

those of nerves, skin and bones
And the last one that you had,

quiet and nice and good and round,
different from every woman,
mostly on biological grounds
Unlike your last old woman,
she benefits the economy
Everything for a single payment
excluding Vaseline
We have the help against your yearning
and the harsh lot of loneliness
For a small sum per month,
we will send by COD
the very latest object
that our firm is marketing
The man's dream about womankind
without all the things that disturb
 

Buying advice

I advice you to buy diamonds
if you care about your wallet
They sparkle beautifully and have such sharp edges
and are chopped out by people on their knees
You thereby actively help to preserve
the group of a handful pale men
who are threatened by the great black crowd
who want to ruin the order
 
I advice you to buy oranges
from southern Africa's lemon district
Partly because you will get vitamins
Partly because you support a rich and educated class
And better fruits, you can never taste
They have a flavour of Negro blood
And if you complain, you will get your money back
because we have good habits at our store
 
I advice you to buy the canned food
that has been packed under the southern hemisphere sun
Previously sold by people with strong nerves
guarding the can with a gun
Then you preserve with your money
the order and the wonderful power
that divides us into masters and serfs
and creates tyranny and human slaughter
 

Germs

Listen up for a moment, I am telling you
There are many kinds of germs
They are transmitted through intimate touch
but also through other transfer
There is a kind that causes itching
in one ear, or both,
depending on how you are sitting
when bureaucrats are talking
Then there are those that affect your vision
if you lower your eyebrows too much
and hit them lightly into the table
and only have eyes for the written word
When you are wrong and the arguments run short,
you run around and roar
Then you have gotten a bout of the fever
that is of help to every careerist
 
There are germs that confuse your legs
The second does not know of the first
The one that for the moment is the best
is shit and nothing in the next
Then there are those that do no harm,
but only lunatics and fools get those
They are handed out for free to those who fight
and do not thrive in madhouses and jails
Yes really, I am telling you
There are many kinds of germs
They are transmitted through intimate touch
but also through other transfer
What ordinary simple people need,
that is covered up by bureaucrat germs
Reason does not always help either
against their powerful charts
You dig out stories from the gravel
underneath the parliament building
But they above who rest on reason
make a garage for nice cars
From fear of losing your voice
every third year at autumn,
there is a germ that can cause trouble
You have to promise more than you can keep
Sure, you have an ear for what the people wish for,
especially when the economy is flourishing
To listen only means to hear
Then you can do what you meant to do
 
Yes really, I am telling you
There are many kinds of germs
And the sensible and hindsight-clever
even make cacti wilt
The people who split off atoms
The phantoms of technology
The threats they once found wrong and overstated
now make them run for life
As I now really wished your best,
I promise that if there is any pill
that is an effective agent against germs,
I will call and tell you
 

Troll and Fairy

The night now lowers its black veil
over man and municipality
Now, everything gets well that was amiss
Cold sky becomes warm and brown
You, you become beautiful, and I become naughty
I am a troll and you a fairy
Put your joy on my hunched back
Sorrow, we must carry by ourselves
 
Let us forget what in the day has happened
I am you and you are me
One plus one is mathematically one
before the night becomes the day
You, you become beautiful, and I become naughty
I am a troll and you a fairy
Put your joy on my hunched back
Sorrow, we must carry by ourselves
 
The sky lifts its hemline
Light is filtered through the window
Again, the two of us walk in different directions
I have no one, you are without
You, you were beautiful, and I was naughty
I am a troll and you a fairy
Put your joy on a different back
Sorrow, we must carry by ourselves
 

Mice and Men

Twit, twit say all the little birds
as they jump around on their branches
And the pig, it grunts and goes on
to express what he thinks
Baa, baa bleat all the white lambs
And the cackle is heard from the geese
With the neigh that the horse neighs out,
he wants to show that he is sad
But the mice, they run around quietly
That is why you say 'quiet as a mouse'
From mice, you never hear anything
even though they are abound in the houses
 
A mouse never dares to stick up
He is always so quiet and reserved
Make a peep and you get a 'sit up'
so that you learn to shut your mouth
A buffoonish and unpolished way,
should preferably be supplemented
with ordinary cynicism and lack of sense
and an aptitude for bossing around
Because if the mouth is as wide as the bottom
and full of sharp teeth,
then things always almost work out
whatever happens in the world
 

Come

Come, we will like each other
Come, I will get love, to kiss you
As your wont is to the others
when they come to visit you
 
Because it is all amiss how man is greedy
to share sympathy
in this world that chases amorous goals
while loveless crowds pass by
 
Come, we will like each other
Come, I will get love, to kiss you
Ignore yourself and think of others
And this applies not least to me
 
Yes it is always all too little of that
which we humans have reason to rejoice
And all too much of grief and chagrin
and too little of excuse me and sorry
 
Come, we will like each other
Come, you will get love, to kiss me
As your wont is to the others
when they come to visit you
 

Lullaby

Sleep, my little heart,
calmly in your bed
Don't be anxious
Don't be afraid
 
For the black night,
over forest and land,
over wide waters,
is guarded by uncle strong
He has sharp eyes
and a big canon
And he does not let
any bastard over the bridge
If you get too close,
uncle puts a stop
Defending his honour
wherever he shows up
 
Sleep, my little heart,
calmly in your bed
Don't be anxious
Don't be afraid
 
Sleep, my little heart,
calmly in your bed
Don't be anxious
Don't be afraid
 
Nothing shall happen to you
Everything shall go well for you
For by the end of the bed,
an uncle is seen standing
He has sharp eyes
and a big canon
And he does not let
any bastard over the bridge
If someone were to test
uncle's patience,
he will in the next
moment lie in blood
 
Sleep, my little heart,
calmly in your bed
Don't be anxious
Don't be afraid
 

Summer Song

Now it is summer and the blackbird sings
in the park
And the sky drops little glittering splashes
on the street department's varnished bench
And I am lying down
on the ground
 
Yes, now it is summer and the house sparrow twitters
on the branch
Me, I am peacefully mixing my methylated spirits with kir
And God knows best what the effect it will have
I might be able to stretch
my legs
 
Yes, now it is summer and the swan is grunting
in the bay
From flowers and leaves, the grass is soft
and nice to the one who from drunkenness is sick
And still it is far
to the clinic
 

Seasons

Now the lovely summer is here
with lust and beauty great
And brown legs and thin shoes
And the tit that in the birdhouse lives
And smell of bird cherry and karsk
And the can full of worms
 
And barely has the sun gone down
and it starts going up
And the factory is stopped
At the highest peak of the chimney pot,
the wagtail has built its nest
Everything seems calm and peaceful
 
And our factory manager
is doing brilliantly
He took the cash with him
and ran as they do,
from a burdensome tax
And now it is rumoured that
he is playing catch with the tax collector
 
Then the lovely autumn is here
that we have been waiting for
With yellow leaves and ripe berries
And apple trees with apples on them
And cool night and windy day
And some welfare benefits
that you can get by on
So why complain then?
 
And our chief engineer
is doing brilliantly
He got cash from the government
to continue with
As happily as before,
somewhere south,
he goes on day in and out
 
Then the lovely winter is here
that we have been waiting for
On wintry hard and frozen ground,
we travel on an old kicksled
First the way to the employment office
and then back home again,
with the same rejection as before
And then, the winter ends
 
But the factory accountant,
we will hardly see again
Because he got what the law
gives to criminals
For some year, he will walk
in a building ugly and gray
for the figures that he believed in
 
Then the lovely time of spring comes
that we have been waiting for
When the stream is rippling happy and quick
And the lark does its whistles
And the ground is germinating and sprouting
around my unemployed body
And up rises the sap of the trees
that summer is made of
 
And now, odd will get even
The municipality has decided so
Because the factory that the view
for long has obscured,
and where effort and toil
smells like blood, sweat and filth,
is removed with a doze of dynamite
 
Then the lovely summer is here
with lust and beauty great
And brown legs and thin shoes
And the tit that in the birdhouse lives
And karsk and accordion tune
And wasp nests and motor boat
And the milk central's cold ice cream
And outdoor dancing and outhouse
And the pounding from a fishing boat
And juice in carton box
 
And you are unoccupied and free
And you don't give a shit about it
Because soon it does not matter how it will be
 

Father

Oh, have you seen father himself
who waltzes around with his bottom bare
and does not shoes or trousers have
and not any money
 
He plays on his concertina
And the children, they become more and more
And sun goes up and sun goes down
And never any money
 
But screw the money and screw the treasure
I eat old bread and drink water
And sleep like a timber log at night
And of rats, I have the pantry full
 
And for pay, the nightingale did not sing
Gloss and greatness make only shells
Flash and adornment make food for the moth
and all the rats in the pantry
 
I fill the stomach of mine with song
when the gut goes pling and plong
If the purse is full some time,
then it is not of money
 
In the testament, it shall be written:
You life is made for living
And honour, you can never get
And not any money
 
And for pay, the nightingale did not sing
Gloss and greatness make only shells
Flash and adornment make food for the moth
and all the rats in the pantry
 
And be happy for the one who ate himself fat
You have paid for his diet
And forget worries and chagrins
And do not care about money
Because the one who stuffs his stomach full
and sips wine for the palate's sake
will still only turn to grit and earth
despite all their money
 
And for pay, the nightingale did not sing
Gloss and greatness make only shells
Flash and adornment make food for the moth
and all the rats in the pantry
 

Family Portrait

Have you seen my little mother
swabbing floors at an office?
Small, diligent, sweaty lady
Earns a small pay
 
Cold hands, stiff knees
Seeking healthcare from Stockholm's county
Then trips into the ward
Soon passing away
 
Yes, it is both a shame and pity
how life is thundering by
over the small and weak
They are to feel sorry for
 
Have you seen my little father?
What a funny body he has
Invalidity pension so nice and safe
Because of worn out back
 
No more nailing houses
Future does not look bright
But he can relax as he wishes
and also get drunk
 
Yes, it is both a shame and pity
how life is thundering by
over the small and weak
They are to feel sorry for
 
Sister of mine is this girl
Four children and unemployed
No longer young and wild
Forty years old and divorced
 
Pretty grumpy now
This former wife
Beauty, happiness, hope for love
That, she has given up
 
Yes, it is both a shame and pity
how life is thundering by
over the small and weak
They are to feel sorry for
 
And the one who looks so terrible
is my older brother Knut
Always complaining when we meet
about his prosthetic leg
 
Seems to be finished, brother Knut
Appears more and more alcoholic
There was much more energy
in Knut before
 
Yes, it is both a shame and pity
how life is thundering by
over the small and weak
They are to feel sorry for
 
But now look at little me
Difference is like night and day
Blank shoes and casual style
Ten meter car
 
Stirring powder, completely discrete
In small, tidy packages
that are sold in secret
Makes me happy and fat
 
But, it is both a shame and pity
how life is thundering by
over the small and weak
They are to feel sorry for
 

Expectation

Most things don't turn out the way you imagined
And no one else is there that you can blame
And your behind is behind you even though you turned around
And it's not likely getting better
 
And if you read about such that is written
about people who have acted well and greatly,
then your life seems spilled away
and it's not likely getting better
 
I guess I've wasted my only life
on tobacco and fucking and horse racing
And I've had the booze as pastime
and it made my head hurt
 
I think I'll turn my poor soul in
to pastor Ström in the chapel
And if he takes care of it really well,
he get's the lady of mine instead
 
No, not much become what you've hoped
And the kids are best when they are small
And love is the sweetest while it's burgeoning
then it's not likely getting better
 
A vow is best while it's a vow
and it will be different when it's fulfilled
Then you have forgotten what you vowed
and it's not likely getting better
 
But when I pass away one day,
then I shall the other way around
Farewell to card games and liquor stores
than break down your character
 
And bachelor I will then remain as well
As a lone soul I want to wander
while the lady runs around and works on
and keeps others in check
