Original language: Auto detect[Intro] Det var en gÄng för lÀnge lÀnge sen en liten söderkis, en störig en Jag sÄg vÀrlden pÄ mitt eget vis [Verse in English] in the late eighties and early nighties stockholm had some hectic nights see cold war ending, political warfare and no trenches, prime minister gunned down in his prime the "A-team" on the benches in the park, what a time to grow up what a time to be alive, "A" as in Alcoholics might throw up, racial violence in the streets, kosher butcher on my block, every weekend, like a clock, nazi skins broke his window, what the fuck! [refrÀng in English] "The bear garden" it was my hood, my spot, one evening was enough, I was hooked, passion so hot, we made friends for life and for the night, it was the nighties and it felt so damn right. [Verse in English] I learnt all the wrong things In school, knew both brown kids who went there to, and we were cool or as cool as I knew to be, damn I was a fool rose tinted memories sting bittersweet hard times, but I'd take 'em' back in a heartbeat. these days the nazis wear a suit and tie They deny their history, I wonder why [refrÀng in English] "The bear garden" it was my hood, my spot, one evening was enough, I was hooked, passion so hot, we made friends for life and for the night, it was the nighties and it felt so damn right. [Verse pÄ svenska] en gÄng va ja en fÀrsking i Katarina församling, nu e jag vÀl mer en bitter gamling fyrti-fyrans kÀngpunkare gav igen pÄ skinn-bulor nasse-runkare fick smaka Doctor Martin-sulor Ä det var aldrig nÄn som sett nÄtt fan nittitalet va rÀtt rÄtt men röda söderhjÀrtan höll oss varma nÀr rassarna fick kÀnna karma i sina kulor [refrÀng in English] "The bear garden" it was my hood, my spot, one evening was enough, I was hooked, passion so hot, we made friends for life and for the night, it was the nighties and it felt so damn right. [Verse pÄ svenska] gick pÄ scout-möten, i staden mellan broarna allt kunde gÄtt i stöpet om ja inte haft ron av att ledaren med jÀrnhanden hette Rita hon garantera ordning man kunde lita pÄ i vÀrlden som va sÄ svÄr att förstÄ sen nÀr Elsa rocka rappen pÄ lÀgerbÄlet jag va sÄ seg Ä fatta, nu ser jag det mÄlet har klÀttrat ur hÄlet, hör segervrÄlet. "The bear garden" it was my hood, my spot, one evening was enough, I was hooked, passion so hot, we made friends for life and for the night, it was the nighties and it felt so damn right. Björnsan, Svartmangatan, gaffel-grÀnd , i Lov-ö-skogen, pÄ grabb kaféet och goda öl-krogen, dÀr e jag vÀlkÀnd, The beer garden, this is my hood, my spot, we make friends for life and for the night, just like in the nighties and it feels so damn right. my hood, my spot, my hood, my spot, my hood, my spot, rose tinted memories sting bittersweet hard times, but I'd have 'em' back in a heartbeat. my friends for life it was the nighties and it felt so right
