[fly]The Cardigans gained the respect of listeners in the mid-´90s, not for the impossibly sunny triteness of their lyrics, but for the wonderful songs and productions that seemed to emanate from Malmo, Sweden, and the minds of the group´s core trio: vocalist Nina Persson, songwriter Peter Svensson, and producer Tore Johansson. More than ten years after their debut, a few things had changed ? the lyrics were no longer sunnily trite but cynically trite, and the songs and productions were no longer so wonderful. Super Extra Gravity matches their previous record, Long Gone Before Daylight, for its dour mood and sour attitude, its lack of discernible hooks, and the unappetizing flavor of the Cardigans´ performances. First of all, Persson´s lyrics are eccentric and unconvincing. She may not have truly meant it when she sang, "Come on and love me now," a lyric from an early album, but she sang it like she meant it; here, on "Overload," she asks, "Baby dance with me," but sounds like it´s the last thing on her mind. (Listeners are easily capable of appreciating irony, but they like to be allowed in on the joke.) Secondly, Svensson´s songs are understated and drab. Those qualities could work if they were combined with the work of a gifted lyricist, but unfortunately that´s not the case. Finally, Johansson´s productions only occasionally allow a hint of brightness and color into the proceedings.[/fly]
I heard about a great big swindle
I read about it in a book
The book flew out the window
Was later found by geeks and crooks
Now they're singing hallelujah
I wondering just what did they find
They said eh whats it to yah
Just take a place in line
And wait, so I wait
I wait, and wait and I...
I'm one of a few survivors
And a drawer labeled lost and found
Though troubled and some deep sea divers
Whose oxygens are pouring out
Now maybe if their gods be willin
They'll give us something to fill our empty cups
Sit down in the boat dont spill it
Or we'll just have to line back up
And wait, so we wait
We wait and wait yes we wait
And we wait
We can wait
We will wait till we...
You can hear it in the beat they march to
You can feel the earth shake when they start to dance
You can tell by the way they move you
It's not murder its an act of faith baby
And as the world moves faster
Whip lashing us around and round
It's quite a slow disaster
And people keep on falling down
Yes we wait, we wait
And we wait
We wait
And we wait
We wait
