The Cold Swedish Winter
I met her in a snowstorm, I was outdoors plowing
She just walked up to me and said, "Hey boy, how's it going?"
I admired her straightforwardness and brushed away my fringe
As a signal of well being and accepting her challenge
We went home to her place and cooked up some chili
Warmed us from the inside 'cause the outside was chilly
We had to be quiet to not wake up her family
But I made a high-pitch sound when her cold fingers touched me
She said
"Shh, please be quiet
I know you don't want to but please deny it"
She said
"Shh, 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 thought it was just porn and gonorrhea
And Lou Reed said in the film Blue in the Face
That compared 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 and not because of the blizzard
She said
"Shh, please be quiet
I know you don't want to but please deny it"
She said
"Shh, please be quiet
I know you don't want me 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 nourished bones
They'll find enclosed, 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
She just walked up to me and said, "Hey boy, how's it going?"
I admired her straightforwardness and brushed away my fringe
As a signal of well being and accepting her challenge
We went home to her place and cooked up some chili
Warmed us from the inside 'cause the outside was chilly
We had to be quiet to not wake up her family
But I made a high-pitch sound when her cold fingers touched me
She said
"Shh, please be quiet
I know you don't want to but please deny it"
She said
"Shh, 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 thought it was just porn and gonorrhea
And Lou Reed said in the film Blue in the Face

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

And the people who dig us up will be in for a big surprise
When they're carefully studying our calcium nourished bones

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
