![]() Hagnesta Hill (2002) [ larger cover art ] |
Thin december air is like the dry ice smoke
You'll come to your senses or inhale and
choke
My IQ allows me to brush you aside
You're zeros and ones, you're wrong where
I'm right
Now, the tyrant is dead and his lady is free
I am going ahead with the reinvention of me
Now the king lies here dead, now the king
lies here dead
It's not as wet as the rain or
as cold as the snow
It drives him in hard to the sane and the
simple soul
I take a charge at my chance
you know how it is
Let go of my hand
you know how it is
Now, the tyrant is dead and his lady is free
I am going ahead with the reinvention of me
And my IQ allows me to brush you aside
Now, the tyrant is dead and his lady is free
I am going ahead with the reinvention of me
Now the king lies here dead, now the king
lies here dead

| arserocket (S.O.B in an S.U.V) | Posted: Aug 23, 2012 - 09:31 thought it was Supergrass and was enjoying it |
| chelsiaann (Helena, Montucky) | Posted: Jun 21, 2012 - 12:19 Is it just me? These beginning riffs had me half expected this to be "18 and Life" by Skidrow. Ha! |
| ziakut (Unmoon) | Posted: Feb 15, 2012 - 12:26 Uh...this is a cool tune and I really like the production of it. The album art cover is intriguing too. |

You got that right! Vapen & Ammunition is another good album by Kent. |
| esotericderek | Posted: Jun 27, 2008 - 12:40 More incessant whining. I got bored with this kind of crap back in the 90's. And Kent definitely has much better offerings than this drivel. |

| nak5ive | Posted: Mar 20, 2008 - 10:00 i saw these guys at a small festival in nashville many years ago. i liked them at the time. i loved Isola. i kinda fell off the boat though. i can still give them a listen if they pop up on shuffle, but i don't seek it out anymore. |
| wabasha (linkoping sweden) | Posted: Feb 17, 2008 - 23:01 I listen to radio paradise to get away from swedish rock! just kidding... it not all bad. I had never heard kent in english before. |
| njr (Champaign, IL) | Posted: Jan 22, 2008 - 04:06 I've had the beginning of this song as my cellphone ringtone for so long that I wondered why my phone was ringing with such a high-quality rendition for a few seconds... |
| strange_brew00 (houston, tx) | Posted: Jan 17, 2008 - 11:02 i'm diggin this one! is the singer the woman shown on the album cover? |

big fan of kent, but have to agree this is one of their more 'bland' songs... makes me feel kent are misrepresented on RP! there's a couple of (imho) better tracks on the LRC at the moment, so hopefully they'll make it to the playlist... |
| oilydwarf | Posted: Nov 20, 2007 - 07:16 bland! |
| 1wolfy (Mission Viejo California) | Posted: Oct 04, 2007 - 08:44 I love Kent but better in their native tongue |
| damonr (London, UK) | Posted: Aug 29, 2007 - 01:27 It's okay. But it doesn't half remind me of Take That's 'Patience' Now there would be an RP cross-over record... (tee hee) |
| tapirzoid | Posted: Aug 13, 2007 - 10:32 I was like "hm, this sounds like Kent in English." I'm so used to the Swedish version, but this is so great to hear on RP. So eclectic. Kent is amazing |
| 1wolfy (Mission Viejo California) | Posted: Aug 02, 2007 - 12:08 The more that I hear these guys..the more I like ! |

| tro_73 | Posted: May 05, 2006 - 16:42 Thanks RP for playing it!Kent is one of my favourites bands!I recommend everybody to listen them in Swedish(they sound much better!)and I also recommend their last cd "Du och jag döden"(the best I've heard in very long time. |

They're played quite a lot on RP - first time I've heard a song by them in English! |

| ChardRemains (Washington DC/N. Virginia) | Posted: Sep 08, 2004 - 15:16 Nice. Seems we're getting some decent pop music out of Sweden lately. Sometimes they suffer from a bit of Mentos Syndrome, but Jeez they're better than a lot of US bands on Top 40 these days. Ditto below...play something in Swedish. We listen to all these other trax in Spanish and Swahili, why not? |

| geavis (Denver) | Posted: Jul 13, 2004 - 10:16 I really like this band but they sound better singing in Swedish. |

I don't agree really, as far as i'm concerned the lyrics are about domestic violence. |
