"Do You Remember The Riots?" lyrics
"Do You Remember The Riots?"
Do you remember the riots in Gothenburg
In the summer of 2001?
Boy, we sure had fun
I held your hand so proud
It was shaking from what I learned was doubt
In the warm summer sun
And I saw my face on a screen
They filmed us from a helicopter
The most frightened face I've seen
Red in the face like a lobster
Do you remember the riots in Gothenburg
In the summer of 2001?
Boy, we sure had fun
Down the avenue
The black, black crew are throwing rocks at the cop stand then everything stop
They started a bonfire
A couple of days prior
I wanted to do that, too
Burn down the avenue
And I saw my face on a screen
They filmed us from a helicopter
The most frightened face I've seen
Red in the face like a lobster
And your hand slipped out of mine
I couldn't see no love in your eyes
I knew what I had to do
Burn the avenue
And I'm not a political fighter
And I don't even have a cigarette lighter
But I wanna see that fire
I just wanna see that fire (Wanna see that fire)
I just wanted to see that fire
Burn down the avenue
Do you remember the riots in Gothenburg
In the summer of 2001?
Boy, we sure had fun

Girls - "Life In San Francisco" Rain drip drops on my head
And I can't remember your name again
You don't have too much of a face
You're always walking on the tips of yours
Instead of your feet or your heels at all
You always look...
Dirty Projectors - "Stillness Is The Move" When the child was just a child
It did not know what it was
Like a child it had no habits
No opinion about anything
Maybe I will get a job
Get a job as a waitress
Maybe waiting tables in a diner
In...
The Knife - "Silent Shout" I never knew this could happen to me
I know now fragility
I know there's people who I haven't told
I know of people who are getting old
Wish I could speak in just one sweep
What you are and what you...
