"MODERN PER"

There were rumours that Per has written “Galning” and “Kapten” also in English.

Here are the texts. Enjoy.

CAPTAIN

There’s nothing left to say
the time has come to sail away
In this old ship The Broken Heart
I’ll try to make a new start

I’m heading for a distant coast
away from whom I need the most
I’m the captain ,you’re the sea
or should I say ,what’s left of me

And the blue,blue desert goes:Hey,hey,na,na..

It hurts to leave this way
and I still long for yesterday
I know some things remain unsaid
and now they linger in my head

But all the time I know
that if I let my anchor go
I might be left here on my own
but then again,I’m still at home

And the blue,blue desert goes:Hey,hey,na,na..

And if the wind would turn
there’s still no way I could return
so I just move on ’cross the chart
in this old ship The Broken Heart

PYROMANIAC

The night is falling
He’s getting ready to go
Dressed in black leather
disguised, noone will know
He knows he must be fast
Go, go just hit it and run
right through the back street into the shade and he’s gone

A pyromaniac a pyromaniac a pyromaniac
is looking for a heart to set on fire

Headlines in the papers
Eyewitness news on TV
Newsbreak on the radio
A general call on CB
This street’s a jungle
you know you gotta be smart
the sharks are up for a bite
Stay cool, keep playing your part

A pyromaniac a pyromaniac a pyromaniac
is looking for a heart to set on fire
A pyromaniac a pyromaniac a pyromaniac
is looking for a heart to set on fire

P.S. Wanna have the songs? Offer your rare material.

So you have the songs? Why are you saying then it are only rumours? Where did you hear those rumours????

Per himself said in an interview back in 1985. The lyrics in English are not written by Per.
I have never seen (or heard, duh) the demos. :(
