SOUNDS: LOST IN LOVE [7]



The Sounds are a Swedish New Wave band. Formed in Helsingborg in 1999, the group's musical style has been compared to New Wave acts such as Blondie, The Cars, the Epoxies and Missing Persons.

Their debut album, Living in America, was released in 2002, with the follow up, Dying to Say This to You, on 21 March 2006. Their third album, Crossing the Rubicon, was released on 2 June 2009.

Lead singer Maja Ivarsson is explicit about her ambition, claiming "I want to be the best female vocalist around...of at least this century".[1] She was featured on Cobra Starship's "Snakes on a Plane (Bring It)", for the film Snakes on a Plane. In addition to Ivarsson's contribution to the Snakes soundtrack, the entire band is featured as track 6, "Queen of Apology," remixed by Fall Out Boy's Patrick Stump.

Band members Jesper Anderberg and Felix Rodriguez have recently been working as songwriters for other artists, among them the Dutch pop band Krezip and the Swedish punk band Quit Your Dayjob.

For Krezip's latest album (Plug it In), the pair wrote three songs: "All My Life", "Play This Game With Me" and "You're Wrong". "All My Life" has been one of the most played songs of 2008 in Holland. Krezip's album Plug It In was also produced by Adel Dahdal (with Peter Mansson), who produced The Sounds' debut album Living in America together with Jimmy Mo

1. HOPE YOU ARE HAPPY NOW



You can call me a slut
You can call me a liar
I got so many names now
I can't even deny it
You can call a thief and put up a fight
Bury me six feet under the ground

But if you think I look mad today
You should have seen me yesterday

You can call me a beauty
You can call me a beast
But it's nobody's business what I do or please

So this song is from me to you
You make me mad and you make me blue
Cause when you're looking like I do
You know I can see you
We dance to the same groove
But I got the right move

Hope your happy now
But I'm not giving in
I hope you're satisfied
With your bullshit and your lies
Hope your happy now
But I'm not giving up
I hope your satisfied
Can't bury me alive

They call me a slut
Then call me a liar
Got so many names now

I can't even deny it
They call me a thief
They put up a fight
Try bury me six feet under the ground

So this song is from me to you
You make me mad and you make me blue
You're looking like I do
You know I can see you
We dance the same groove
But I got the right move

Hope your happy now
But I'm not giving in
I hope you're satisfied
With your bullshit and your lies
Hope your happy now
But I'm not giving up
I hope your satisfied
Can't bury me alive

Ha! Ha! Ha, ha!

Hope your happy now
But I'm not giving in
I hope you're satisfied
With your bullshit and your lies
Hope your happy now
But I'm not giving up
I hope your satisfied
Can't bury me alive

I hope your satisfied
Fuck you and fuck your lies

2. LOST IN LOVE



Every body gets a little lost, sometimes
When you feel your time is running out
You know your love has stalled
When you feel alone and dreams from your younger years
Are telling you what's gone
Then ask yourself why people fall apart
'cause they don't realize that something just ain't
right
When you lay down on your pillow at home tonight
You got to realize your holding on to something that
ain't right

[Chorus]
I believe in this fire burning inside of me
You're never alone but you're always on your own
Lost in love and desire, never again

I promised myself I'd be searching for someone new

Smothered by his words
he's selling freedom that you can afford
To everyone but yourself
You're down on luck tonight
You're down, down, down there's nowhere left
To turn cause now you're all alone
Standing on the outside looking in
That is when I realize, his love don't mean a thing

[Chorus]

When you feel your troubles closing in
You got to realize you're holding on to something that
ain't right
Oh, oh

[Chorus]

3. NIGHT AFTER NIGHT



It all seemed perfect
But there are moments when I feel nothing at all
Same as always
Now it's repeating itself all over again

Night after night you say you move on
tomorrow, tomorrow
Now, what's holding you back?
I don't know, I don't know
Night after night you say you move on
tomorrow, tomorrow
Now, what's holding you back?
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know

Don't feel sorry
'Cause there's no reason for us to fight any more
Tears are coming, and years are going
I hope we'll learn something


Night after night you say you move on
tomorrow, tomorrow
Now, what's holding you back?
I don't know, I don't know
Night after night you say you move on
tomorrow, tomorrow
Now, what's holding you back?
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know

Night after night you say you move on
tomorrow, tomorrow
Now, what's holding you back?
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
Night after night you say you move on
tomorrow, tomorrow
Now, what's holding you back?
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know.

4. HURT YOU



Don't want hurt you
Try not to mess with your feelings
It's just a matter of trust, for us, for lust
Don't want hurt you
Try not to fuck with your feelings
It's just a matter of trust, for us, for lust

You should come over
Cause I can tell from your eyes
Why won't you tell me what's really on your mind
Too much confusion
You need a little more time
So many times now we've been through this before

Don't want hurt you
Try not to mess with your feelings
It's just a matter of trust, for us, for lust
Don't want hurt you
Try not to fuck with your feelings
It's just a matter of trust, for us, for lust

Can we start over
Or should I leave you behind?
Give me an answer
But please don't tell me the truth
What's your solution?
You can't make up your mind
This is my answer, you know I wanna leave

Don't say you just wanna go!

Don't you know you're on your own?
Don't say you just wanna go!
Don't you know you're on your own?

Don't want hurt you
Don't want hurt you
Try not to mess with your feelings
It's just a matter of trust, for us, for lust
Don't want hurt you
Try not to fuck with your feelings
It's just a matter of trust, for us, for lust

Don't say you just wanna go!
Don't you know you're on your own?
Don't say you just wanna go!
Don't you know you're on your own?

Don't want hurt you
Don't want hurt you
Try not to mess with your feelings
Don't say you just wanna go
Don't want hurt you
Don't want hurt you
Try not to mess with your feelings
Don't say you just wanna go
Don't want hurt you
Don't want hurt you
Try not to fuck with your feelings
Don't say you just wanna go

5. DANCE WITH ME



It's funny how we've seem to made it.
It's funny how we can even walk up straight.
Last night you sat home waiting, and I got home much too late
So what if we loose our minds, so what if it doesn't make much sense
At least we know we're lazy, at least we know how to play, we're so great.

Come on, come on, come, get up and dance with me, yeah
No more, no more blue days and lonely years

And I'm afraid I need my baby
I'm afraid he doesn't know it yet.
Someday I will tell him maybe
It's been like this since I don't know when,

But it's great.

Come on, come on, come, get up and dance with me, yeah
No more no more blue days and lonely years
Come on, come on, come, get up and dance with me, yeah
No more no more blue days for you my dear

I've always been told, you will never grow old
You live your life too fast, but I don't want to rest
I'm not old and tired, but I've been trough fire
And I've seen enough, and I might never be the same again,
But have you seen my friends, they're just the same

Come on...

7. MUCH TOO LONG



I don't feel rejected but I feel neglected
you know me too well
but you keep twisting my arm

There was a time when we had everything
you know my weakness
to push me around

We need to talk, nothing to serious
I just can't keep this inside me no more.

So live hated, not much to brag about
but I have always been cool with myself
It takes more than a heartbeat to get me
to stop me I'm out in the cold
It takes more than a heartbeat to get me
You've been holding on for much too long

I got a call, nothing too serious
Don't even know you but we're keeping in touch
So I've been jealous, not much to brag about
But I've always been true to myself
It takes more than a heartbeat to get me

to stop me I'm out in the cold
It takes more than a heartbeat to get me
you've been holding on for much too long now

I don't feel rejected but I feel neglected
you know me too well
but you keep twisting my arm

There was a time when we had everything
you know my weakness
to push me around

So live hated, not much to brag about
but I have always been cool with myself
It takes more than a heartbeat to get me
to stop me I'm out in the cold
It takes more than a heartbeat to get me
You've been holding on for much too long now...much too long now...much too long now
It takes more than a heartbeat to get me

You've been holding on
For much too long
Now
