Where are those happy days, they seem so hard to find I tried to reach for you, but you have closed your mind Whatever happened to our love? I wish I understood It used to be so nice, it used to be so good So when you're near me, darling can't you hear me S. O. S. The love you gave me, nothing else can save me S. O. S. When you're gone How can I even try to go on? When you're gone Though I try how can I carry on? You seem so far away though you are standing near You made me feel alive, but something died I fear I really tried to make it out I wish I understood What happened to our love, it used to be so good So when you're near me, darling can't you hear me S. O. S. The love you gave me, nothing else can save me S. O. S. When you're gone How can I even try to go…
2.	Abra Cadaver 01:34	lyrics
Ah no what's wrong with me, I got no vision see I was the target of a notion of submission see Oh yeah they needed me, Yeah I was the target see They tried to stick a dead body inside of me Need no Need no alibi Honestly I tell no lies Wanted to stick an office worker inside of me But I kept breaking free they could not capture me I pulled maneuvers that were closer to savage see Bad bad They tried to stick a dead body inside of me Bad bad Come again I tell no lies So now you understand I was a wanted man The opposition and the bug of a shiny hand But ah no this I see there's nothing wrong with me There's no deadbeat regime rider inside of me Need no Need no alibi Honestly I tell no lies Tried to stick and office worker inside of me Need no Need no alibi Honestly I tell no lies Wanted nothing stuck in me Bad bad They tried to stick a dead body inside of me Bad bad Wanted nothing stuck in me

about

The first in a series of Double A-side single covers themed around quarantines, viruses, and paranoia.

In this issue: I celebrate my heritage with songs by my two favorite Swedish bands ABBA and The Hives.

Arranged and recorded during the Covid-19 quarantine of 2020 to keep my mixing and performing chops up.
