Stort liv - Lars Winnerbäck, Hovet

Solen gҐr upp ¶ver kҐk och gr¤nd

VҐren ¤r ung och oanv¤nd

SҐngen ekar frҐn himmelen s¤nd

Det ¤r ett stort liv

Jag har sett hur du k¤mpar f¶r att ta dig loss

Hur r¶sten manar: StҐ upp och slҐss

Hur dumheten sprakar med tomtebloss

Hur den fadda massan skriker: Kom med oss

Det ¤r ett tufft liv

Min ungdom kommer aldrig igen

Jag har sҐ mycket f¶rstҐnd att f¶rlora ¤n

SҐ jag lovar dig inget, min k¤raste v¤n

Det ¤r ett kort liv

Jag f¶rstod nog aldrig vad dom sa till mig

N¤r jag satt i dom b¤nkarna man bildar sig

Jag har gҐtt dom v¤gar ingen visat mig

Det ¤r ett h¶gt liv

Jag reste iv¤g f¶r att fҐ nҐnting gjort

Jag trodde sporren fanns pҐ annan ort

Men deras klockor gick lika fort

Det ¤r ett snabbt liv

Jag satt i en bar lҐngt v¤sterut

D¤r jag k¤nner mig hemma och jag vart f¶rut

PҐ TV: n visade man ett lyckligt slut

och allt sҐg pl¶tsligt lite b¤ttre ut

Det ¤r ett gott liv

Jag gick pҐ en gata mot ett ¤ventyr

D¤r spriten var billig men fyllan dyr

Man fattar l¤tt varf¶r m¤nskor flyr

Det ¤r ett hҐrt liv

Jag satt pҐ ett m¶te bland viktiga m¤n

Dom sa: Du har inte hittat din marknad ¤n

men skriv pҐ f¶r oss sҐ kan vi snacka sen

Jag gick min v¤g och kom aldrig igen

Det ¤r ett fritt liv

Jag tog mig upp pҐ ett skyh¶gt berg

Jag trodde livet skulle byta f¤rg

Men svindeln sk¤lvde genom ben och m¤rg

Det ¤r ett farligt liv

Jag satt pҐ en brygga lҐngt hemifrҐn

MҐnen lyste ¶ver silverstrҐn

Maria var naken och klev ner i Ґn

Det ¤r det jag har fҐtt mina dr¶mmar frҐn

Det ¤r ett sk¶nt liv

Jag satsade allt pҐ d¶d mans hand

Jag dr¶mde om en suite pҐ Grand

Jag hamnade i en etta i andra hand

sҐ jag satsade den med, f¶r jag fick blodad tand

Det ¤r ett dj¤rvt liv

Jag kl¤ttrade ner i en bottenl¶s brunn

Du ska vara med om allt f¶r att fҐ mҐl i mun

Djupet ¤r vackert men gr¤nsen tunn

Det ¤r ett svҐrt liv

Men solen gҐr upp ¶ver kҐk och gr¤nd

VҐren ¤r ung och oanv¤nd

SҐngen ekar frҐn himmelen s¤nd

Det ¤r ett stort liv

Det ¤r ett stort liv

Det ¤r ett stort liv

Det ¤r ett stort liv…

The sun rises over the kitchen and alley

Ours is young and unused

The song echoes from heaven

It's a big life

I've seen you struggle to break free

How the voice urges: Get up and fight

How stupidity crackles with sparklers

How the fat mass shouts: Come with us

It's a tough life

My youth will never come again

I have so much sense to lose than that

So I promise you nothing, my dear friend

It's a short life

I probably never understood what they said to me

When I sat in the benches you form

I've gone those ways no one showed me

It's a high life

I left because something was done

I thought the spur was in another place

But their watches went just as fast

It's a fast life

I was sitting in a bar far to the west

Where I feel at home and I was gone

On TV, they showed a happy ending

and everything suddenly looked a little better

It's a good life

I was walking down a street on an adventure

Where spirits were cheap but filling expensive

It's easy to understand why people flee

It's a hard life

I was sitting in a meeting with important men

They said: You have not found your market yet

but write for us so we can talk later

I went my way and never came again

It's a free life

I climbed a soaring mountain

I thought life would change color

But the dizziness shook through bones and marrow

It's a dangerous life

I was sitting on a jetty far from home

The moon shone over silver rays

Maria was naked and stepped into the river

That's what I've got my dreams from

It's a beautiful life

I bet everything on the dead man's hand

I dreamed of a suite at the Grand

I ended up in a one in the second hand

so I bet it, because I got a bleeding tooth

It's a bold life

I climbed into a bottomless well

You have to be part of everything to get goals in your mouth

The depth is beautiful but the border is thin

It's a difficult life

But the sun rises over the kitchen and alley

Ours is young and unused

The song echoes from heaven

It's a big life

It's a big life

It's a big life

It's a big life…
