Jens Lekman - Silvia lyrics

oh silvia, I was dancing to Michael Jackson

oh silvia, when I heard your german accent

oh silvia, and I went down on my knees for her majesty

your royal highness

is that how you shall be adressed

oh her highness, I'm always at your service

oh her highness, will you listen when I now confess

I've been hurting again, a cold black diamond

the same kind of pain that I had when I was seven

do you remember when I shook your hand

oh silvia, I took my bike to the cemetery

oh silvia, and I claimed my territory

oh silvia, smoked a cigarette

blew smoke rings in the face of death

and this town will be cold when it gets hit by a comet

by the harb we found a boat with your name written on it

and I had blood in my mouth when I spit

oh silvia

oh her highness, I heard you say in some interview

that feminism was something that didn't suit you

a lack of interest perhaps

or maybe your just stupid and inbreed

but I still remember when I saw you as a godness

your picture on my wall, so gentle and modest

do you see these tears in my face

I thought we had a deal

that the one who falls from grace

would be the one to kneel

now it's just you and me, Silvia

don't shed no useless tears

oh silvia, no one will care in a hundred years

no one will ever forget your name

they'll look after your grave

but it's not the same, you say

now it's just you and me, Silvia

it's just you and me

it's just you and me
