God knows what is hiding in that weak and drunken heart
I guess you kissed the girls and made them cry
those Hardfaced Queens of misadventure
God knows what is hiding in those weak and sunken eyes
a Fiery throng of muted angels
Giving love and getting nothing back

People help the people
And if your homesick, give me your hand and i’ll hold it
People help the people
And nothing will drag you down
Oh and if I had a brain, Oh and if I had a brain
i’d be cold as a stone and rich as the fool
That turned, all those good hearts away

God knows what is hiding, in that world of little consequence
Behind the tears, inside the lies
A thousand slowly dying sunsets
God knows what is hiding in those weak and drunken hearts
I guess the loneliness came knocking
No on needs to be alone, oh save me

People help the people
And if your homesick, give me your hand and i’ll hold it
People help the people
Nothing will drag you down
Oh and if I had a brain, Oh and if I had a brain
I’d be cold as a stone and rich as the fool
That turned, all those good hearts away

People help the people
And if your homesick, give me your hand and I’ll hold it
People help the people
Nothing will drag you down
Oh and if I had a brain, Oh and if I had a brain
I’d be cold as a stone and rich as the fool
That turned, all those good hearts away

Lyrics by Cherry Ghost. I love this song…

Home-gigs are always gonna be pretty special aren’t they? When I say “home” I simply mean that we didn’t have to get one a plane to see this one! It was of course in London.
The day started veeeery early and ended equally as late, but what can I say? the company was great, the band were really on form (Per rates it as one of his top 3 on the tour!) and it was just fantastic to see so many people that I haven’t seen in years! It was really something… a moment in time that I never dreamed would happen. So dreams can come true then

To those who were there - you know how great it was!
To those who weren’t - you seriously missed out bigtime!

Its been almost a month since the show, but *finally* the pix have made it onto Flickr!
Here are a few…

Two crazy Brits and a very cool German on the front row!

Hmmmm, his face is a bit weird in this one!

The band at the end of a *fantastic* show

The Brits are reunited!!

When Munkeh met Magnus…

ooooh and random fact of the night: Justin Hawkins from The Darkness was there!!!

In 4 days I’ll be checking in at BHX for my flight to Copenhagen!
And in 7 days time we’ll be bouncing around with excitement getting ready to see PeeGee!

It’s been months since Sarah, Stina and I all sat at our computers one cold evening in January and carefully planned our little tour. Booking flights at similar times, discovering cool Youth Hostels in the greatest part of Stockholm and not believing our luck when we managed to get tickets to all the shows we wanted to see. So, all the planning comes together on FRIDAY!!! yes, 4 days from now! and the hype for this tour is increadible its great to see Gessle and co. embracing modern technology hahah! Photo and Video updates appear almost every day, and OMG the rehearsals sound so awesome. I know that for fans who have seen Roxette before this is a bit of a let-down (Roxette songs without Marie = no no no!) but for me (having never seen Roxette) this is something I never thought would have happened! Even Martinique (Helena’s husband and the tour’s support act) is blogging every day! You should check him out at http://martiniquemusic.wordpress.com very cool indeed!

OK… so that was me being completely and utterly excited about this tour. Plans for this week… hmnnn, working (only 3 days, hoorah!), packing, and uhm…. thats about it really! I’ll probably update this again when I get back from Copenhagen… don’t think I’ll have much to say between now and then

Also just got sent this link from Crashi! cool video that he’s made about the tour

Next on the Agenda:
The Manics. (I am actually uber excited about this too right now, but I will attempt to contain said excitement until I get over the whole “OMG I’m seeing Gessle in a WEEK” thing. hah!)

Now to figure out how to make Twitter updates appear on here (yes, I caved and joined. I blame Mr Gessle though…)

*edit*

last but certainly not least - DELAYS are set to start recording their new album in May.
* * *E X C I T E M E N T__O V E R L O A D* * *

OK i know the video quality is kak, but the sound is fantastic. and these guys truely rock it is soooo much better than the “real” version!

10 years is a long time. its been a whole 10 years today since we moved to the UK. wow!
still love it though, even if the weather is a bit shit sometimes
