New Robyn

Well Robyn featuring her vocal on the new Christian Falk track.

This is just a little this side of brilliant. No surprise that I love this track as I am a very big Robyn fan anyway, but this song and those lyrics.....kind of makes you wanna cry.

The other thing I love about her is her distinct image. Never trying to be the pop star/tart-let she isn't, just more concerned with making good music. I mean when was the last time the Christina's, Britney's, P!ink's, Rihanna's, and even Madonna's scored a 86 on metacritic? (sorry Madonnna....I still love you and 'Ray of Light' and 'Like a Prayer' are not on there)



Thugs and badman
Punks and lifers
F@#ked up interns
Pigs and snitches
Rest your weary heads, all is well
You won’t be strip-searched, torn up tonight
you won’t be cut up, bleeding tonight
you won’t be strung out, cold, shaking to your bones
wishing you were anywhere else but right here
So dream on

Thieves and muggers
Tricks and hustlers
Cheats and traitors
Scum and low-lifes
Rest your weary heads, all is well
You won’t be sad or broken tonight
you won’t be squealed on, ripped up tonight
you won’t be back-stabbed, double cross, face down
teeth knocked out, lying in a gutter somewhere
So dream on

Freaks and Junkies
Fakes and phonies
Drunks and cowards
Manic preachers
Rest your weary heads, all is well
You won’t be pushed or messed with tonight
you won’t be lied to, ruffed up tonight
You won’t be insane, paranoid, obsessed
aimlessly wandering through the dark night
So dream on
