![]() Separation Road (2006) [ larger cover art ] |
It's getting late
I think my time is running out
No-one special
Nothing lasting within inside
How should I stay calm
When panic lies just ahead
Everyone can see my youth
Hanging by a thread
No subtle men
Came to my town
No subtle men
Begging for my hand
I'm one of few who's left
When everyone has gone
The train is leaving
And it's too late to get on
So much for running
When no-one stays to wait
For another broken promise
To slip my mind by mistake
Who would take my word
On anything these days
I failed so many times
Saying I'm gonna change
No subtle men
Came to my town
No subtle men
No lifelong friend
Lives in my town
No subtle men
Begging for my hand

Even though I've recently been to Sweden, I picked up very little of the lingo on account of those blasted Vikings speaking English so well. However, I think I can figure out your phrase, and I couldn't agree more - Anna is so, so good. 9 from the smitten Scandophile Nottingham jury | |

| 1wolfy (Mission Viejo California) | Posted: Jun 01, 2012 - 08:37 I visited Sweden in the 80s and noticed that a bras were often not worn by women of all age groups. . I am curious to know if they have lower incidences of breast cancer. Stingray wrote: why no bra...? | |

| hbs47 (SE England) | Posted: Feb 27, 2012 - 05:12 There is a lot of string squeak, but somehow this adds to the intimacy IMO. | |

This place is, to me, a place for appreciation of music, and not a place to air political diatribes or personal vendettas. Fire bad. Tree pretty. What do you have against fire, bitch? Just kidding! Love this song. And I have been subtle on occasion, though just as likely to jump in with all the finesse of incoming space junk. | |

| Byronape (Snorkeling in the River Styx) | Posted: Jun 16, 2011 - 12:09 I really like this song, but it suffers due to the string squeak. No matter what, that noise always sounds like a poorly played guitar to me. | |

| TheKing2 (on Eä) | Posted: Oct 17, 2010 - 04:01 Just for your information: this track was rated as "10" be me as I believe it is actually quite beautiful (and sad and all that) | |

| Fourdawg (South Africa) | Posted: Sep 15, 2010 - 09:37 Very nice song, but I had to check the title... I thought she was singing: "No sodom man comes to my town"... Not quite the meaning she was aiming for... | |

This rules as does Natalie and for the record there is very very little comparison between them besides being female singers. Not the first Anna Ternheim track i've liked my wallet is starting to clench again. | |
