THE OFFICIAL GENEROUS MARIA
LYRICS

From the first Demo CD

Lonely Freedom Blues
(Florstrom/Nilsson, Klarqvist)

Don�t try
To get close to me
Lonely?
Well, I spell it free
Freedom�s only true
When no-one knocks
On the door

Women
I never treat �em right
Old friends
We just get to fight
I don�t need that fuss
All I want
Is some peace

The less I�ve
Got to do with
Other people
The less problems I get

Don�t call
It just bothers me
I�ll let you know
If I want company
I hardly get along
Hardly get along
With myself

The less I�ve
Got to do with
Other people
The less problems I get

Sheer Violence
(Florstr�m/Nilsson)

Come on and
Heal me
With your hands
Come on and
Heal me
Feel me
With your hands
This is
No romance
This is sheer
Violence
This is sheer
Violence
This is sheer violence

I know you want me
On my knees
I know you want a good slave
Liberation�s here for me
Now I�m gonna get saved

Come on and
Feed me
All you can
Come on and
Feed me
Greedy
As I am
This is no
Romance
This is sheer
Violence
This is sheer
Violence
This is sheer violence

I know you want me
On my knees
I know you want a good slave
Liberation�s here for me
Now I�m gonna get saved

This is
Sheer violence
This is
No holding hands

I know you want me
On my knees
I know you want a good slave
Liberation�s here for me
Now I�m gonna get saved

Tears of the Fish
(Florstrom/Nilsson, Klarqvist)

I don�t wake up crying
So I guess I must be fine
And I�m not violent
Which means I�m on the right side of the line
Always wearing clothes on
When I�m walking down the street
But all these good things
They require that you�re close to me

Like the tears in the eye
Of the fish in the pond
I�m like the tears in the eye
Of the fish when you�re gone
Yes Sir baby

Once I felt like something
That you�d flush right down the drain
Lots of ugly feelings
That were similar to pain
Now the door to where they keep
The laughter�s open wide
Then again I very much
Do need you by my side

Like the tears in the eye
Of the fish in the pond
I�m like the tears in the eye
Of the fish when you�re gone
Like the tears in the eye
Of the fish in the pond
I�m like the tears in the eye
Of the fish when you�re gone
Yes Sir baby

Dead Calm
(Florstrom/Klarqvist)

Nothing here is really real
Nothing really counts
And that weird way you feel
What is that about?
You must have forgotten to
Take your little pill
Yeah, that spirit that you felt
Just there to be killed

You gotta do as I do
Don�t let anything through

Don�t expect anything
To make you cry or smile
That�s the entire point
With this lifestyle
Might feel somewhat empty but
Hey, what did you think
That�s a problem quickly solved
- a few pills and a drink

You gotta do as I do
Don�t let anything through

I�m dead calm baby
Can�t be harmed baby
I�m dead calm baby
Just like I never woke up at all

My advice to you is
Don�t be such a jerk
Don�t think twice of what you miss
In thinking danger lurks
Just relax and let it be
The meaning of it all
When you live on hands and knees
It don�t hurt when you fall

You gotta do as I do
Don�t let anything through

I�m dead calm baby
Can�t be harmed baby
I�m dead calm baby
Just like I never woke up at all
